SPRINGLE - WEEK 4

[dormheads]

common room.

In the common room, the walls have been painted with photo-like pictures of forests and lakes, and spread across the ceiling is a depiction of the night sky. One wall is lined with bookcases, the books ranging from fiction to non-fiction as well used course textbooks. More bookcases have been used to section off one corner for a study area, with a desk and chair provided.

Elsewhere, there are a few couches (one looks as though it doesn't quite belong) and chairs, most seated around a coffee table and with throw blankets tossed over them if you need the extra warmth. On the table is a bowl of healthy and semi-healthy snacks, regularly stocked. (Nearby is a garbage can.)

This week, there's something.

specialty room.

Past an entrance in the common room, a mini coffeehouse has been set up, with express machines for those who just want their coffee now and slightly more advanced equipment for aficionados. It offers a variety of strength levels and flavors to accommodate tastes all across the spectrum, along with a teapot and packets of caffeinated and non-caffeinated tea for those who prefer a different drink. There's a sink if you want to use your own mug, but otherwise, disposable cups are provided for you to use.

Pasted on the wall by the coffee machines is a detailed but clear handwritten guide on how to use said machines, complete with illustrations. There are also cute little doodles of Spring Dorm residents using the machines and drinking coffee, though they look as though they were done by someone else.

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

Well. It's Mabel. She's not like... a genius strategic mind.
[Wow nice week really is over.]

But I guess since everyone is here right now I should get mine out of the way.
[He's going to go make tea???]

[overlimit]

[...!?

hey guess what everyone gets to feel a twang of panic???]

Now!?

[branches]

Wh-Isn't it better since everyone is here to supervise??

[ambiography]

Okay, no, two things here-- first, if you're telling all of us you're doing it, that's maybe not the best start. Second, supervise what.

[branches]

[BUT MOM!!!!]

Well as long as I dose it correctly I should only be uncomfortable for a few hours. But if you want to volunteer to get poisoned instead, that's fine with me.

[ambiography]

Tsuyukusa, show me how it's written, exactly. You're absolutely not going to poison yourself or anyone else only for it not to work.

[if he just outed himself and it fails AND he actually gets super sick from it that's kind of a worst case deal.]

[branches]

Well it's pretty vague. So I figured that gave me some leeway?

[He will show it to her!]

[ambiography]

[she reads that over and just. SIGHS.]

All right. So. By default, you know about this assignment because it's yours, so I sort of doubt they're going to let you get away with just inconveniencing yourself, and you just-- you told us all you were considering doing it. Don't.

[branches]

[UGH!!!]

Well then what am I supposed to do?? I already tried doing it to someone else!

[feytality]

Just do it to me. I'll just be uncomfortable for a few hours, right?

[overlimit]

Hell no!! Don't volunteer for that!

...

We shouldn't even be talking about it with this many people here!!

[feytality]

He started it... [ the talking!! ]

But, I can handle a little poison anyway. Claude could take care of me.

[branches]

If I'm understanding correctly too many people in Spring know about it now so I'll have to pick someone outside our dorm.

[feytality]

.... Try to keep it more under wraps next time.

But, um, if you figure it out, you can do the next one with me.

[branches]

I don't know why you and Rita expect to be the top of my list for potentially dangerous extra credit assignments.

[overlimit]

Just talk to me later, all right!? Don't do this when we're trying to have a productive discussion about important things!!

[despite the angry tone, it's pretty easy to pick up that she's more worried than irritated? boy it's hard to be a tsundere in this economy.]

[branches]

Fine!

[HMPH!! Speak for yourself he can still be tsundere.]
