SPRINGLE - WEEK 3

common room.

In the common room, the walls have been painted with photo-like pictures of forests and lakes, and spread across the ceiling is a depiction of the night sky. One wall is lined with bookcases, the books ranging from fiction to non-fiction as well used course textbooks. More bookcases have been used to section off one corner for a study area, with a desk and chair provided.

Elsewhere, there are a few couches (one looks as though it doesn't quite belong) and chairs, most seated around a coffee table and with throw blankets tossed over them if you need the extra warmth. On the table is a bowl of healthy and semi-healthy snacks, regularly stocked. (Nearby is a garbage can.)

This week, it looks like things are getting into the holiday spirit.

specialty room.

Past an entrance in the common room, a mini coffeehouse has been set up, with express machines for those who just want their coffee now and slightly more advanced equipment for aficionados. It offers a variety of strength levels and flavors to accommodate tastes all across the spectrum, along with a teapot and packets of caffeinated and non-caffeinated tea for those who prefer a different drink. There's a sink if you want to use your own mug, but otherwise, disposable cups are provided for you to use.

Pasted on the wall by the coffee machines is a detailed but clear handwritten guide on how to use said machines, complete with illustrations. There are also cute little doodles of Spring Dorm residents using the machines and drinking coffee, though they look as though they were done by someone else.

Please use this as an open post for members of Spring 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.

[On the table is... more alcohol, because Chad apparently assumes that's popular around here and you haven't proven yourselves to be completely irresponsible, wow. With that said, this week it's of a different variety than what's sold in the SUB: there's nicer wine, champagne, and eggnog. Non-alcoholic eggnog is also available.

Along with the drinks are chocolate and peppermint bark, plus biscuits for those who prefer things less sweet.

There's also a wrapped package for each member of the dorm. Should you open it, it contains one small, sentimental item from your home. (This cannot be a weapon or magical; if you're uncertain, feel free to ask the mods.)

Finally, there's an open package as well, with flowers placed inside and a label on the box addressing it to Sieghart. Looks like you can add to this one, if you want to pay your respects to the deceased.]

SIEGHART'S BOX

[dormheads]

[Added Monday:
• A spring-themed scarf
• A bottle of alcohol
• Some chocolate
• A letter full of Sieghart doodles of him doing various things such as punching demons, napping, etc. The letter itself thanks him for his kindness and mentions how cool the writer thinks he is.
• A little black crane
• A tarot card, unfinished. Each half of the card depicts one half of Sieghart's sword, split apart. The portion where the names of each side seem blank but (Mentor?) is written very lightly in pencil along one half.
• A portrait of all of the original Spring Dorm, Chad and Sieghart and Taichi all included, hanging out in the common room. Everyone is either smiling or laughing, excluding Chad, but he's drawn in a way where you could maybe assume there is a little quirk of his mouth there. Something is written on the back, if you look.]

MONDAY

[headmt]

[Starting Monday morning a poster:



will be hung up in Spring Dorm. Molly is also drinking like a lot of actual real coffee this morning.]

[overlimit]

[rita's drinking her mostly-sugar almost-coffee concoction and staring at this poster...]

Anime night? The hell's that about?

[headmt]

It's about anime, I presume?

[There seems to be a bit of a question that's like. What the hell even is anime. But Molly sure is selling this with confidence!]

[shaft]

Since when is this you're preferred method of entertainment...?

[headmt]

Since when is it not? Maybe I've always loved it.

tuesday, earlier sometime

[ambiography]

[it's group text time again because this is easier than herding all of you.]

I believe most, if not all of you, know there's information we're able to get from the dorm heads. If any of you have bought that from Chad this week, then that's something I think we may need to discuss-- and if none of us have, then we should start discussing that as well. We can make contributions as needed, but we should designate someone so that we don't have multiple people overlapping.

[branches]

How much does that cost? I have six vouchers right now, but I'd like to use some of them on one of my powers.

[ambiography]

As far as I'm aware, we don't know what he'd ask yet, so we'll need someone to get on that as well.

[godcards]

Are you volunteering?

[shaft]

Do you know what information has already been bought from them from the other dorms?

I've only heard of that script.

[modissty]

I haven't spoken to him yet either, but I can contribute vouchers if need be.

[overlimit]

[rita chimes in a little later!]

Seems like we could stand to do a better job of sharing and discussing information in general, too. Maybe we should have more group chats like this.

Aside from the purchased information and whatever people have been picking up after getting tormented on Thursdays, we got some other weird hints too, right?

"FIND THE BEARS KEYS" under the Dean's List... Anyone know what that's about?

And this one was in my locker: "The exchange of vouchers allows for the Dorm Heads to regain control of themselves briefly."

[feytality]

[ maya sends this picture to the group -- i meant to do this before sorry a lot be happening ]

A THING...

[dormheads]

[sometime after execution... well, if you're in the dorm, you'll hear someone swearing from the third floor, before what sounds like something being thrown towards the ground, and something shattering.

a bit after that, chad storms down the staircase, cuts on his hands and with a furious expression. his eyes are bright red, it looks like his head hurts, and should you try to approach him, you might feel the hints of some kind of energy whirling around him, pushing you back—before it disappears, as his eyes return to purple, and his face settles more on the grim side rather than looking like he's about to shank someone.]

[feytality]

H-- [ she cuts herself off from whatever she was about to say, shounenly trying to run at him despite the aura of shanking ]

Chad! What.. what happened?

[modissty]

[SWEET CHARD.

Sakyou'd returned to grab some things after the execution, so he's here! And he's looking startled at the sounds from upstairs, and then the Chad appearing, and this Funky Fuckin Energy thing that's happening here. Naturally he tries to move forward despite the energy pushing back, but he's quick to come to a stop once he can actually approach, hands hovering awkwardly in the air between them.]

—Chad?!

[ambiography]

[oh lord okay. as soon as the energy's gone, she's here.]

What was-- are you feeling a little more present, or is this something else.

[hello she's concerned As Usual.]

[overlimit]

What are you... --hey, you all right!?

INFO INFO

[modissty]

[WELL he's just received a paper from their poor tired dorm head Hugo, and after squinting at it for a few moments, he'll turn to address everyone.]

It appears to be a fax message from the principal. I'll do my best to interpret... [IT'S A FUCKIN MESS OF JUMBLED TEXT HELP. But anyway, reading aloud kind of slowly:]

"Regarding daycare and administration building. Lost my phone, sorry for any missed messages. Expelled and injured students signed into daycare and they are helping get keys to administration building. Good work so far. Need to go into top floor to fix their transcripts so they can return to campus. Please keep other students occupied and happy as... emissaries? [He'll fuckin spell out:] Ermnisdsarrfies... Of Wiwaldi campus. Outsider visitors still not permitted in these areas. Construction may be done by end of school year".

I can spell out any of the words as well, if you'd like.

[ambiography]

...given what we know this place can do, I don't know how much I like the sound of "keeping us occupied and happy".

[do Not fuck with their heads don't fucking do it.]

[feytality]

[ breathes out a sigh ]

Okay... I think I understand.

[overlimit]

[UGH, more talk of daycare. rita's having a struggle.]

Return to campus? Th, that's impossible...

[branches]

So there really is a chance we can get the people that died back? We just need to help "fix their transcripts" and they can leave the daycare place?
