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.

[ at least, maybe. he doesn't know. his most recent association with a teacher was a dude who rapped about his brother's bad grades in front of an audience?? but whatever. it's hard to want to trust it, but he's also trying to see the best of a situation that just fucking sucks. he doesn't disagree, though.
at the second question, there's another flicker across ichiro's emotions, there - something fierce, concerned, but compassionate. ] That's true. It's - that's the third time I've heard it, now.

[And he's radiating a lot of unease and a low grade fury. Ask me about my lore!!!]
That's an easy enough way to do it. A little lie will get you far. But I don't think it explains the kills we know Rupert and Byleth to be connected with.

Yeah. It just started coming out last night. [ it was another late night for ichiro! sometimes you are furiously texting your friends until 3 am trying to get shit done. ]
I think they're two totally separate things. But - not, at the same time. You know? They're both about controlling someone else. One is just making people believe something no matter what the real truth is. The other one's more complicated, I think. I just don't know why.
And... [ a little more frustration, here. ] Why now, too? Why didn't we have someone lied to like that the first week, when it was just Rupert's kill, instead?

[ that still clearly sits pretty bad with him, too. he shakes his head a little. ]
This whole thing's fucked, man. It kind of... I guess it makes sense, too, though, thinking about what happened with the dorm heads. Their whole, like - everything was written over. Made them think they were someone else until they broke out. So, whoever's in charge is messing with our heads, and probably doing it in more ways than one.
[ so that's great! that's fine. it's not. this fucking sucks. there's that low anger again. ]

We've failed to notice the, uhm, school spirit curse a few times. But an even smaller lie could drive almost anyone to kill and hide it.
