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.

There's been a few instances of that, from what I've heard reported.

Taichi and I found that out. Every time someone's been cursed with the school spirit thing, they've been asleep outside - and they've been from the same dorm as one of the victims.
Catra's week was weird. She transferred over here, though, so it still fit the pattern we'd found, but... that threw me off, a little, too.

I suppose....
Well, keep an eye on it in the coming weeks. You've all done well in creating other systems that definitively par down suspect lists and help locate evidence so you shouldn't need to rely too heavily on individual theories.

[ but ok, ok. thinking. ]
You said someone else is probably our big issue. I'm guessing it's the person, or people, who wrote on those papers, right? Kon, lemme see your notebook. [ i said this out loud to snow so he will grab the redacted out papers from kon's adventure, and then pull up his phone to look at the picture from the groupchat from this week's. ] Maybe the "editors" Crow mentioned were on the script?

[she snaps her fingers]
That's right. The annotations - everything that was written on my file... They must know an awful lot about me.
I am Iris Lana Armelia, eldest daughter of the Armelia dukedom. I was excommunicated by the church because I was renovating an orphanage that was on church grounds. And the list of items - I've developed patents for skincare, jello, and conditioner, but we haven't rolled out the refined dandelion tea in my cafes just yet. Income tax has been slowly implemented, but my health insurance plan still needs to be negotiated with the guilds before we can start working toward universal healthcare.
[she leaves out the 'social pariah' part. it's cool.]
The list of things wasn't just things I liked - it was things I invented. But Viola obviously wouldn't know any of that...

....Heh. Kinda makes your plan to get us all healed up make more sense. [ this is all wildly in line with everything viola iris has shown so far. she invented health insurance! and also health insurance with vouchers. ] Man, I think all the dorm heads are cool, but no wonder we've all got our shit together with you as our guide.
They know a lot about all of us, too, right? It kinda fits the narrative, especially if we still think the deaths are like filling in the blanks. Like... the cinematic thing that Beau said. [ sometimes you see memories of your friend's friend dying and then you see him dead like the same way the next day ]

There are advantages in coming from modern day Japan and then being transported to what is essentially a vaguely Western medieval society. I'm simply an opportunist.
[she is simply just fucking vicious]
But... well, let's keep looking at that. I think it must know something about you - given your ID cards, but we should re-examine and see what parts are patterns and what parts are outliers.
no subject
[ it's what he'd maybe try and do for ikebukuro. he is not nearly as vicious. maybe? well. he's not as smart. that's for sure. ]
Yeah. They definitely know the most about you guys. And...you've been here longer. Or - you've at least been made to think that you have been.
no subject
Well... having an entirely new set of memories intertwined with the others isn't as shocking to me as it is for others, perhaps.
Bit of an odd thing to have happen twice, though.

If it warms up next week, I'll serve some jello for everyone.
