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.

[ there's some kind of guilt in her, but she nods. ]

I'm sure it will pass.

[ no. she's not sure. she's nervous that it won't, but - what else can she do but let this happen? ]

[silentscout]

And if it doesn't, we can fix it.

[Since they didn't need his vouchers to heal all of CYOA and all.]

[illuminance]

We'll see. I don't want to waste anything...

[silentscout]

It's probably a coupon effect anyway. What's happening to you sounds like the one I got.

[illuminance]

[ you know what, at this point that's a relief to hear. ]

Then it's probably temporary.

[silentscout]

Mmm.

It wasn't me. I still have mine.

[illuminance]

[ lux laughs, a bit? ]

I didn't think it was you, Lalli.

It's fine. Someone out there is probably worried that I'm a threat and they want to minimize it. If this puts them at ease, so be it.

[silentscout]

Or they're trying to frame you for something.

[Or, you know. Make her easier to kill. But he's not going to say that.]

[illuminance]

Making someone less capable is a poor way of making them appear guilty of anything.

[ but yes. she is definitely aware of that alternative motivation... ]

[... She squints.]

Lalli-san, can I see your coupon's description? I'll show you mine if you want something in return.

[silentscout]

[He unlocks his phone, goes to that message on his phone, and shows it to Ichinose.]

[txt]

[Oh. Hm. Dislike!

She nods, and shows him her phone as well — before pressing a finger to her lip. Shhhh.]

[silentscout]

[His eyes light up, but then he nods and also holds a finger to his lips. Seekrits!]
