WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 4


common room.


Similar to the rest of the architecture, the common room in the Winter Dorm is almost more reminiscent of a tea room or parlor that you would find in a manor. A chandelier hangs above, everything in the room glistening in the light that is both welcoming and just a tinge cold. Seating is available for a number of people to gather, adjusting each week to seemingly accommodate a little bit over the number of people assigned to the dorm. A piano doesn't sit too far, and sometimes when the room isn't too full, it's almost like a beautiful classical melody will begin to play itself to make up for the empty space.

Or... is that a showtune...?

Who can say?

This week, something else has been provided!

specialty room.


However on the first floor, there's an oddity amidst the serene architecture. One of the rooms opens to a Gaming Lounge, complete with screens that stretch across the entirety of one wall length-wise. Incredible comfortable chairs and couches sit opposite the screen, comfortable enough to steal you away from the outside world for hours upon hours. A series of gaming systems are hooked up to the screens, and a small tower of handhelds sit on a bookcase nearby. Every game you can think of is downloaded and programmed onto each device, though every time you start one up it seems to immediately pull up an otome game or farming simulator. The lighting system changes between a rainbow of colors, and one wall is lined with snacks that are a little less decadent but still just as delicious. The room will adjust based on the needs of the game you play, a wall spinning out to roll out DDR dance pads, virtual reality goggles, or whatever you could need for the ultimate gaming experience.

No, it isn't incredibly reminiscent of Dude Perfect's Game Time Lounge. You're imagining it. (But really, click the link for a better idea of what the room looks like.)




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

[ leo is here, practically buzzing with anxiety. there are paperclips in his hand, being twisted and shaped and reshaped. ]

Okay, but there has to be a reason for that, right? Neither of them really seem like the type to just... kill people. And neither of them would tell us why they did it, either.

Yeah. Hell yeah there has to be. I don't know what it is - I wanna find out. I mean, Byleth-san's - she's always been nice. And Rupert...

[ well. there's a little squeeze of hurt to his emotions, there. they all really liked him. he was ichiro's friend. ] ...He told me that, himself. "I wouldn't have done it if there wasn't a good reason." I just don't know what the hell that is, and how the hell to fix it so they don't have to do it anymore.

[ that twinge of hurt will find itself mirrored in leo's emotions. ]

He told me that violence would always be a last resort for him. But I don't understand what could have driven him to go that far, unless he thought it would be better option, somehow.

As for who could have been working with him before... It was a different group than the second set of footprints we found this weekend. Different people. We know it wasn't Manwol, and if it wasn't Byleth, either, there were just a handful left. And... I know there was some theory about who we voted for going around, too, but I don't know what it was, or if it would even help us now.

He told me the same thing, and Byleth wouldn't, like... really explain. She also said she wasn't sure if she was going to have to do it again.

[ nodding.. he hates this. beau gets a little emotional affection on sight, though, a little worry. ]

"Have to"'s the word, you know? Plus... I think maybe that's the difference, too. Cause, Byleth-san was able to talk to us. So was Rupert. And if that note's right, it says they believed the lie until the trial was over.

It might explain... I don't know. Caiman had his own issues, but that reaction was something else.
