WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 4

[dormheads]

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.)

[denji is such a sweetheart. she gives him a smile]

I wouldn’t lie to you. The way you speak is rough at times, but I do think you often mean well.

[sawboned]

[he blushes heavily at the smile and sweet words, and quickly looks at the tvs and changes the subject]

So, uh, you play lots of these dating games before? You must be, like, a dating pro, then!

[azuta]

[she allows it! though this topic causes her feelings to become a bit... nervous...]

Oh... Yes! I used to play plenty.... but I don't have much actual romantic experience. I don't think my gaming abilities translate well.

[sawboned]

[he looks at her, a very considerate and thoughtful look, accompanied by feelings of...admiration? amazement?]

Nah, I think you'd be super good at dates. A girl that's nice and plays games and also says cool stuff all the time? Perfect date.

[azuta]

[ . . . cute. the feelings flatter her a bit, but there's an odd note of discomfort at the very end that she tries to explain quickly - ]

That's nice of you to say, but I don't really date. I'm sure there's plenty of other girls out there who would love to go on that kind of date with you though, Denji.

[sawboned]

[he starts waving his hands even before the note of discomfort hits]

Oh! No no I wasn't tryin' to hit on you or make you uncomfortable, Miss Iris, promise!

I just think you're kinda incredible and obviously anyone would want to date you. [well now he's embarrassed, which iris doesn't need the emotion-sharing for because he's blushing and looks very obviously like he's put his foot in his mouth]
