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.

[He's just squinting at this list.]

. . . If there is a pattern in these names, I do not see it. Otome and Byleth's appearances are noteworthy, but perhaps it is. . . something someone specific is doing? The dead are doing?

I could see that, yeah. Actually - actually, the marquee is them, right? So maybe it's a list of people the dead think we should be looking at?

Otome killed week one. Showed up the next week. Byleth killed week two, showed up next week. Right? Am I remembering that right?

She killed the week before; she assisted Rupert with Bradley.

Right, that - right? That still works. They showed up after the weeks they killed.

Not that that tells us anything else about the other people.

No, nor the rips.

[she just groans, and lays back on the piano with a clang.]

Iris said - put everything together. The clues we've bought, the stuff we've found, the Dean's List and the sleepers. What Otome said. There's something cyclical that we have to break.

I don't know what direction to go in from here. We have people being conscripted and compelled to kill - by something, someone. But if we ask too hard, we die.

We know that the dead are trying to change their transcripts, yes? We need the bear's keys to do it.

If the Dean's List keeps track of grades, perhaps there is something in our grades themselves that relates to whether we will kill or be killed.

The dead are trying to change their transcripts to get back on campus, yeah.

[...] Makes me wonder if you're more on the chopping block if you're not playing along.

It's what Kaoruko said, right? Be better at playing along, and being less confrontational.

When I asked Iris about it when I was on it, she said that they were picked by the bear - that it means you're doing well. She said she was on it last year, too.

[ ....

doing well makes him feel a little nauseous, actually, knowing everything they know now. ]


Doing well, like playing along? That was when Iris was still Viola, too.

. . . Is it possible it is just related to extra credits or vouchers?
disreguarded: (09)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2021-07-11 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I imagine the fuckers making people do this would consider killing and getting away with murder to be good behavior that you could get vouchers for.
steelo: when i got home (125.)

[personal profile] steelo 2021-07-11 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, it really always comes back to this damn voucher math...

[ HATE this

but that's in more good humor. he sits back, thinking. ]


I got the Dean's List the third week here. The Sunday before, I did get a fuckton of vouchers - when I came and told you about it.

Ja. And Ichinose had very many at one point, too.

Taichi, Alphinaud, and I were on it the very first, real week we were here - the first week of fall. We hadn't done anything before then, really, except wander around like a bunch of idiots for a couple days and then talk to the dorm heads when they were first online.
