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.

...I don't think that would rule her out for Lan Wangji's. Just for Crow's.

And Tsuyukusa was talking about how bad they were at getting away with murder that week, too, and he wouldn't say that if he'd done it himself... unless that's part of the lie they'd have to believe, I guess.

[ hate it hate it HATE IT ]
steelo: so where do you fit in? (116.)

[ at least i don't feel bad fucking up when im playing ichiro because hes stupid

he nods, though, rubbing the back of his neck. ]
Yeah. Sorry, I confused myself. Too much shit going on.

...I don't know what's going on with them - if there's even a lie to believe, or if it's something else. But... like Caleb-san said, too, I think Tsuyukusa's someone that Byleth-san might want to protect, if it was him. I could see her protecting Lila-chan, too, but... [ rip lila. ]
commandertoolbelt: (thinking too much)

I think if we want to find who was involved that week, we should think about it in terms of who Rupert would have worked with. And this week - who Byleth would be willing to protect. Not that it really helps us with the Fall names, I guess...

[ she would absolutely protect taichi or yamato, but lux or caleb? ]

I... don't actually know who Rupes would have trusted, that week. It was just the second week, you know? Or do we know if the second person was someone who was compelled? Does that happen every week, or...?

I dunno if it's even really about who they would've trusted. I'm wondering if they even get a choice.

[ but rupert probably wouldn't have thrown anyone under the bus once he got caught. at least as far as ichiro thinks. plus - the way he got caught meant it was truth or nothing. ]

I do think they're separate, though. I mean - both Lan Wangji and Bradley's kills were bad, but... the ones for Sieghart-san and Molly were [ a brief flicker of anger, here. ] brutal, man. You know? Could just be a coincidence, but...

...when we were in that place on Thursday, it fucked up our memories, but - beyond that, it messed with our emotions, too. Made us act really extreme. Taichi got super jealous, and I ... got mad, lost control of my emotions and started doing stupid shit. That was how I got this.

[ he reaches over and taps his arm, where the lightning burn is. ]
commandertoolbelt: (stop talking already)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-05 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, but if it's a matter of not having a choice, then we can't count out Ichinose based on that, either.

[ he's listening to these other conversations too and it's! frustrating! going back and forth like this!! ]

That... gives us a reason for why people who were compelled would kill. Of course a lie would mess their emotions, if they really believe it. But the others...?
