SPRINGLE - WEEK 3

[dormheads]

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.

[he looks at her, transitioning increasingly into a state of eerily calm.]

That's not my name.

[feytality]

[ hm. ]

... Hugo. Are you.... you're you?

[ this makes no sense but hopefully he knows what she means ]

[inaccordant]

Yes. I don't know how long it'll last, but this has been longer than the other times so far, at least.

[feytality]

[ gonna try to put her handsie on his shoulder if he lets her ]

I saw that... spending vouchers helps you guys... is that true? Is there another way we can help?

[ free chugo 2k21 ]

[inaccordant]

[he will not and instead backs away.]

Focus on helping yourselves first. In any case, I don't know for sure what the exact triggers would be.

[feytality]

[ classic... ]

[ well she won't try again ]

I'm not sure how we can really help ourselves, at this point....

Do you have any idea what's causing it? Is it the school, or...?

[inaccordant]

I don't know who the exact enemy is, but we'll find a way to tear all this down regardless.

[feytality]

Yeah.... we have to.....

[ a lil bit heartened by his fighting spirit though ]

Do you even know... how long this has been happening...?

[inaccordant]

I haven't been here for much longer than any of you.

[feytality]

Did you arrive like we did, and then.... all of this?

[ gesture ]

[inaccordant]

The memory rewrite essentially happened once we were brought here.

[feytality]

I see....

[ that checks out. ]

Does it... help? When we spent time with you?

[ maya thinking about how many threads i have with jan ]

[inaccordant]

Proximity didn't seem to make an impact. From what I can tell, the vouchers might be the only real way of breaking through it.

[feytality]

Well, I also just mean.... you're kind of trapped on your own body, right? Even if you can't always break out, does it help? If you're not alone?

[inaccordant]

Not particularly.

[feytality]

... Okay.

[ rip ]

[inaccordant]

... Like I said, focus more on yourself and the others right now. In any case, what's in the past is in the past.

[feytality]

.... I know. But I don't like the thought of leaving you and the other dorm heads like that ... I'll spend the vouchers, but they're not infinite or anything....
