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.

[Tsuyukusa is presumably reasonably healed and/or wrapped up. I can only hope his arm is still broken and just in a sling. Anyway he is just lying on his back, on the floor. Please put a blanket on him.]

I can't believe four of us went on those dumb trips in one week.

Bad luck.

[hugo will in fact toss a blanket over him.]

[OH.... OUR LEADER... He will not reject the blanket.]

I assume you don't have any idea who's going to get sent away any given week?

Unfortunately, no. I don't know any more about these than you do.

... This sucks.

Is there anything else you need?

[besides, like, answers]

... I want my staff back.

[HE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO USE IT FOR THE TWO WEEKS HE HAD IT!]

[Sweet Hugo... Blanket lad. Sakyou will move to hand him a pillow for his noggin, too.]

I suppose given the rotation of people, it was only a matter of time...

[Tree is being tucked in so sweetly...]

I guess... At this rate everyone's going to be some level of injured at the trial that I'm sure is going to happen again.

[Everyone loves their squad tree. :(

Sakyou's radiating some displeasure at the mention of trial, but it's INEVITABLE!! And also inevitable that everyone's gonna show up varying degrees of fucked up.]

Between the previous weeks with their still-lingering injuries and this week, I would say that's likely. But we can worry about that when the time comes. Try to rest as well as you're able for now.

[It'll be another Long Fuckin Weekend.]

[Mumble grumble like he doesn't want to rest.]

I'd be able to rest better if I felt like we accomplished anything. The only thing we got doesn't make any sense.

Even if it doesn't make sense now, it might be a crucial piece of information later - or something that will fit in with what the other group received.

[A gentle kind of reassurance because boy does he know how shit it is to feel like all your suffering was for nothing.]

At this point, there aren't many of us left who haven't gone, are there...?

[looks around this room...

hm.]

[Looks at Rita, The Only Person Who Hasn't, with a concerned frown.]

...Take care, next week.

... I'll be ready.

[Boy he hates the fact that they can do literally nothing meaningful about this!]

We'll be as ready as we're able, as well.

[Their surplus of vouchers...]

[she looks around at our sad slumber party... and some of that ever-present anxiety actually eases up a little?]

Guess I might have to count on you jerks after all.

[rita's just been pacing nearby, but she stops to give the tree a look.]

How're you feeling?

Better than I was, I guess. I'm not bleeding anymore.

[Thank god for heals.]

[ Sits on the floor next to Tsuyukusa, peering at him curiously. ]

You seem to be in all right spirits.

... What were you expecting? I'm not going to let something like some dumb field trip get the best of me.

[HE SAYS WHILE LYING DRAMATICALLY ON THE FLOOR.]

Is that so? Well, I'm glad to hear it.

[ Flicks his forehead. ]

But don't be too much of a hero.

[Yelps indignantly!!]

I'm not being any sort of hero!

Yeah? Nothing like pretending that you're fine?

I mean, physically obviously I'm not fine, but anyone can tell that just by looking at me?

[He knows Claude means emotionally but we are Ignoring It.]
