WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 3
common room.
Similar to the rest of the architecture, the common room in the Winter Dorm is almost more reminiscent of a tea room or parlor that you would find in a manor. A chandelier hangs above, everything in the room glistening in the light that is both welcoming and just a tinge cold. Seating is available for a number of people to gather, adjusting each week to seemingly accommodate a little bit over the number of people assigned to the dorm. A piano doesn't sit too far, and sometimes when the room isn't too full, it's almost like a beautiful classical melody will begin to play itself to make up for the empty space.
Or... is that a showtune...?
Who can say?
This week, we're getting into the holiday spirit! So pop some bubbly, be a little sweet - it's that time of year.
specialty room.
However on the first floor, there's an oddity amidst the serene architecture. One of the rooms opens to a Gaming Lounge, complete with screens that stretch across the entirety of one wall length-wise. Incredible comfortable chairs and couches sit opposite the screen, comfortable enough to steal you away from the outside world for hours upon hours. A series of gaming systems are hooked up to the screens, and a small tower of handhelds sit on a bookcase nearby. Every game you can think of is downloaded and programmed onto each device, though every time you start one up it seems to immediately pull up an otome game or farming simulator. The lighting system changes between a rainbow of colors, and one wall is lined with snacks that are a little less decadent but still just as delicious. The room will adjust based on the needs of the game you play, a wall spinning out to roll out DDR dance pads, virtual reality goggles, or whatever you could need for the ultimate gaming experience.
No, it isn't incredibly reminiscent of Dude Perfect's Game Time Lounge. You're imagining it. (But really, click the link for a better idea of what the room looks like.)
Please use this as an open post for members of Winter Dorm. You may post top-levels whenever you'd like and go wild. A new post will go up at the start of each week.

Is Principal Bear actually... useful, or should we nix him as a resource outside of things like the paper that Ichiro bought?
[ because, like, he will remove principal bear as a factor immediately so they can focus their energy elsewhere. ]
So not a lot of time difference between us, just... intent, and a head start, according to whoever's in charge of Wiwaldi. [ god kon is trying to navigate questions that don't overlap. ] ... do you know if there's a way we can contact the daycare, somehow, even in some small way? Rita tried to use her communication item as some means to contact the dead, but the coupon request for that use was denied. Is there - anything you might know that could help?
no subject
[she just looks thoughtful at that]
There are probably reasons for why the communication item didn't go through - that system isn't done through us, so I'm not familiar with the finer details.
There's nothing I know I'm afraid, or I would have already shared it. [gestures to her rushing to give ichiro the paper] But I possess theories similar to anyone else.
no subject
It's good to know that, at least. And you're helping us bounce around a lot of ideas and theories that we haven't been able to really confirm anything about. Everything here is going to push us in the right direction.
You're on the right track, you said when we first spoke. [ ... ] We'll keep going, ojou-san.
no subject
immediately tries to wave that off]
Please don't call me that. You're my residents, not my attendants. I can't possibly be that conceited.
no subject
I'm teasing - your reaction's definitely better than Viola's, though, I think I was pushing on the boundary of you and her a little hard with it. [ god, anyways. ] But I guess another question comes in, with residents, that maybe you can answer - or at least think about.
What happens to a dorm when there's no residents in it anymore? Do you know? [ whether they've transferred or died ] If we didn't lose Crow and Molly over it, I'd be glad to say "I told you so" to her, since she wanted us to consider transferring to another dorm even temporarily, under the idea that staying here wasn't safe for us. But that would be a week, at least.
no subject
.... I don't blame her for her worry.... but I presume that a Dorm Head would simply be out of a job until someone moved again? There'd be no Dorm to oversee...
[ . . . ]
A bit of a sad thought...
no subject
hm, don't like that thought. ]
But I don't blame her, either. It's just - all the more obvious that nowhere is really safe, and there's a pattern that we're slowly dismantling. So we'll do what we can to put an end to the cycle. Figure things out.
no subject
You were able to make good progress yesterday, even if the process itself was a bit... tumultuous.
[so many people fought
so any people were sobbing]
no subject
We could've made progress much earlier if we'd realized what the clue I pulled from Caiman's lack of memories actually meant. Maybe we could've narrowed down the third person with Crow if we'd managed that...
[ nothing to do for it now... ]
no subject
You helped me catch who killed Molly. That's the most important part.
no subject
[ ... ] But that's all I wanted. To find who did that to him, and who went after Crow.
no subject
the sharpest flash of anger at the mention of crow, but.]
.... you have suspects. Please continue to pursue them.
[she'll leave it at that.]
no subject
We will. You know we will.
no subject
[she'll bring a hand up to her neck but - well, crow's pendant is already gone]
... it'll be frustrating if we don't have an answer for him by the time we see him again.

looks back at ichiro. you know who's on that small list. ]
