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.

I...
The issue at hand is that we don't know if that's what's happening.

Actually, I wanted to ask you about something. Can you guys grant us powers that we didn't have before we came here, if we've got enough vouchers for it? Or... should I talk to you about that later? I don't want to waste your time here.
no subject
Yes, that's possible. Feel free to think outside of the box and ask for whatever you'd like - I'll do my best to quote you fairly. You all know you're benefactors of my bias as is.
Though I'm surprised I've even been able to stay for this long... I don't feel a headache coming on - so I wonder if I'm here to stay.

[ nods. good to know. ]
Okay, so I know it'll be expensive, but... my friend Piper has this thing called charmspeak - basically, the power of persuasion. She could tell someone to say or do something, and they'd want to do it for her.
I'm thinking we could use a power like hers to get the truth out of the people who've killed someone, find out why they did it or who they've worked with. It's not - pure mind control, and they can break out of it. But we might have a better chance with it on hand. Do you think we could something like that?
no subject
... thank you.
[but she'll move on to the pricing]
Hmm... It's a bit powerful.... I would put something like that - to be used only once, rather than weekly, at 12. And I worry it might not work exactly as you intend... Even the coupon that should work for two days to pull memories only worked for no more than a minute when Catra used it on me.
So while I welcome discussing it, I'm worried it may come with certain pitfalls...

Back to the drawing board, then. The only other thing I can think of right now is the extra credit. Tsuyu said he had a morbid one, whatever that means - could it have something to do with the murders? We're not supposed to tell people until after we finish them, and all... Do you guys even know where those tasks come from?
no subject
I've heard of that... but I'm afraid I'm not familiar with how they get assigned - though I do ask that people think creatively. There are some that are worded as though they could harm someone, but I hope we can find different ways around it that don't require any living person to be hurt.

[ annoying. but leo shakes his head. ]
It was worth asking, anyway. Especially if it has something to do with what's keeping people from talking to us even after confessing.
no subject
Mm. From what I understand, they're assigned by an outside source - and I'd originally thought it Principal Bear but... If they're getting dangerous, I'm no longer certain.
