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.

She might have. She was ready to die since Saturday.

[Manwol's emotions are just blank. It's fine.]

[selfestheim]

...That's what I've been thinking. She knew it was coming; it was only a matter of time.

[lifeless]

If not today, then probably tomorrow.

[she looks a little thoughtful]

It was probably someone she knew -- or who cared about her.

[selfestheim]

...I know it's too early to say anything, but...Dimitri or Claude, maybe?

[lifeless]

...It's possible.

[there's finally a flicker of something from Manwol's Void State.]

But there were a lot of people who cared about her.

[manwol flashbacking to the absolute bad time so many people were having]

[selfestheim]

[ he raises an eyebrow at manwol's sudden spark of emotion, watching her carefully. ]

...Yeah. I guess... we'll just have to see what happens tomorrow. [ beat ] You're okay, right? You guys didn't get too cold with the river?

[SHE'S MAD HOPE ACCUSED HER BOYFRIEND!!!!

jk, it feels a lot like someone becoming more aware, or alert. maybe manwol's about to move out of the void.]

I think Kuon might have swallowed a lot of water. [...] But I'm fine. I just overextended myself a little while swimming.
