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.

[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.

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.

[branches]

I want to get one of my powers back, I'd only have two left over after that. But I could at least ask the cost?

[godcards]

Are you volunteering?

[ambiography]

Depending on the cost, I can't volunteer in full. I have something of an ongoing project.

But I don't mind asking about it, or making the exchange.

[godcards]

I have 3 vouchers I can give to the cause, whoever ends up asking.

[ambiography]

I'll bear that in mind, then. Thank you, Malik.

[shaft]

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

I've only heard of that script.

[ambiography]

Not for this week, no. I've heard they might be identical as well, but I don't think that's any reason to leave it all up to the others.

[shaft]

I agree, I just thought we might spread out what we request.

Do you have any clue how it works? Do we ask for something specific, or just request a bit of information?

[ambiography]

He'll know what you're talking about. I asked about the possibility of buying different information, and he said that the only information he knew for sure we could purchase was the weekly limited piece of it.

[shaft]

That makes it easier for us then. I certainly don't mind spending vouchers for it, or pooling together if need be.

[ambiography]

It would be appreciated, Claude.

I can leave the asking to you, or do it myself-- but I can contribute at least a little as well, depending on what's needed.

[modissty]

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

[ambiography]

I appreciate it, Sagihara. I'll let you know if we need them.

[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."

[ambiography]

I've been thinking the same thing, Rita. We've brought some information to each other already, but maybe this should be a more regular sort of thing.

I haven't heard much about that first message, but if it's as straightforward as it sounds, I assume it's about accessing somewhere we can't, yet. As for the second... I haven't spoken to anyone who can confirm it personally, but I do think we need to look into that. Another good reason for the exchange.

[overlimit]

I know that from the start, a lot of us had wondered if the dorm heads were brainwashed or something. Just, too many weird things going on here that they acted like they were totally blind to.

Has anyone seen anything like that? I mean, a dorm head acting differently after an exchange?

[ambiography]

As far as I'm personally aware, no. If it's been confirmed, then I haven't been told it was yet.

[feytality]

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

[overlimit]

I saw this, too.

It could just be a prank.

just realized i never responded to these wtf

[feytality]

i dont think so

i think it's an actual clue

[headmt]

Rupert mentioned this. Didn't really know what he meant by it.

[modissty]

His hope is that it indicates our dead are still somewhere we can reach, since those in his dorm told him a daycare is where you leave your children while attending classes and pick them up after the classes end.
