FALL COMMON ROOM - WEEK 4

[dormheads]

common room.

The common room of the Fall Dorm has soft, dimmer lighting; plush carpet over wood; and several comfortable chairs and sectionals. A few big windows overlook the dormitory area of campus, but there is also a single, cozy bay window on one side.

A television and bluetooth surround-sound are here for Fall students who are more inclined to be tech savvy. In the cabinets under the entertainment stand are an assortment of board games, but the television does have a generic "free tv" app for shows and music.

Above the enormous center fireplace is a moody painting.

This week, there's something else.

specialty room.

Through a door on the first floor, there is an antigravity room. Stepping just a few feet through the doorway will lift everyone up into the air. The seating and most of the rest of the room remains somehow rightfully in place on the floor and will not move. Students, however, can grab pillows and blankets, cups or bowls, or other small items to bring into the air with them.

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

[The new year has come and gone (wow). The Christmas tree and decorations from before has been taken down. In its place, the common room has been decorated with red, pink, and white streamers, most in the shape of hearts. 3D honeycomb paper hearts have been hung from the top of the windows and the ceiling.

There's a bunch of heart-shaped confetti tossed into the antigrav room.

On the table is a large picnic basket. Inside are utensils, plates, a huge blanket, and three tiers of a long bento. A ticket on top of the bento box allows the redemption of a picnic bento and green tea from the school cafeteria. Once redeemed, the bento tiers will be filled with sushi, onigiri, omelette slices, pink and white fish cakes, strawberries and mochi and odango. By the basket is a note:

Enjoy the cherry blossoms as a dorm. You can invite some of the other dorms if you want. Thanks for all your help.

[NOBODY HAS USED THIS POST THIS WEEK I'M CRYING but.

This technically would have started on Tuesday, but I'm slow at threading so you're getting the notif now.

Any time Lalli is doing anything in the dorm, he will be wrapped up in this. He only takes it off when he's leaving the dorm or showering.

Also when he's wearing it, anyone walking near by will catch bubbly, warm emotions from him.]

CURFEW!!!!

[ghoststrums]

[ fuck off i want us to use this post more.

anyway everyone was at the picnic so no one is injured this week and that's nice. what's less nice is yamato clearly pacing the entire dorm for some reason? wow. antsy. ]

[silentscout]

[He's going to watch Yamato pace for a while before finally speaking up:]

What's wrong? Worried because it's Thursday?

[ghoststrums]

[ ... well, there's not much point to denying it, but he still looks away for a second before nodding ]

Yeah. I hate... waiting.

[illuminance]

[ lux comes over to see what's wrong, but like. bumps into things on her way there - coffee table, then couch corner. also she is squinting?

she feels very confused, but also worried! ]

... Try to focus on something else, if you're anxious.

[ghoststrums]

[ yamato MOSTLY feels anxious, but there's a flash of. worry? when he notices lux bumping into things? ]

... You alright?

[darksubverted]

[Nevermind the cute picnic, he's back to brooding. He's watching Luxanna mostly, his arms crossed as he leans against the wall directly beside one of the windows.

His brows are knitted.]

[txt]

... Luxanna-san, when did this start?

[Hm. Dislike!]

[goalsides]

[he doesn't say anything but there are gently concerned vibes going to her anyway. everyone else is good on questions but. hm. not great. ]

[silentscout]

[Lux???]

Is something wrong with your eyes?

[goalsides]

[he's also watching yamato pace from a place on the couch before he just kind of softly whistles. come here, stop wearing a groove into the floor.]

[ghoststrums]

Don't whistle at me like I'm a pet.

[ ...... he says that but he comes over to sit on the couch stupidly close to taichi for no reason, picking at his newly done nails (sorry manwol) ]

[alitaba]

[ the more he paces, the more futaba starts emanating PANIC PANIC PANIC vibes ]

[ghoststrums]

[ ah... shit. he'll go sit down with taichi but he passes by and pats her head gently in apology ]

[goalsides]

[at some point...]

How're your ribs?

[NOW THAT WE'RE HERE I GUESS.]

[selfestheim]

[ he's here and he's dead now ]

[ghoststrums]

[ i truly hate you ]

[darksubverted]

[NEVERMIND, HE'S RUNNING DOWN STAIRS FERAL AGAIN TO BUST INTO THE COMMON ROOM. HE HATES THIS FAMILY.]

[silentscout]

[Hi Riku, what's up?]

post invest friday

[alitaba]

[ there is a very grouchy gremlin in fall dorm. it seems like enough of the dorm shamed her into staying put today? terrible.

anyways, when people start to return she does grabby motions from the couch. dorm meeting time!! ]

Tell me everything!

[Well.

Ichinose is probably dripping water everywhere from rolling back into the lazy river, so. She just kind of pulls a wad of wet candy out of her pockets and deposits it in Futaba's lap. Her candy now.]

... I'll be just a minute.

[she'll leave the exposition in everyone else's capable hands while she swaps clothes "they're blind and have depression" their capable hands]

[selfestheim]

[ girl, mood, because hope is probably right next to her on the couch and frowning at his phone. hmph :T ]

...Did someone do this to stop her from killing again?

[ghoststrums]

Wang Lu was in cosmetology. Looked like some kind of sword fight.

[ he has led lux here by the hand because it's the blind leading the blind. ]

[goalsides]

[watching ichinose go...]

We found Ichinose-san half-drowning in the lazy river. We also found Byleth but...she was on a bunch of innertubes and holding flowers. Her sword was in the river, and some goose was walking off with a boot? Close to my size, so we can keep that in mind.

[he's keeping some distance from most people so he doesn't blast his emotions everywhere, thanks.]
