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.

[MALIK your VERY BAD WEEK. Thinking about how last week he was like "well that's not so bad" and then he just goes and gets mauled...

But he'll be moving over soon enough, frowning and vibrating with Concerned Vibes.]

Has anyone offered you pain medication yet?

[godcards]

[ JUST. IMMEDIATELY: ] Give it to me.

[modissty]

[The only person in this dorm who isn't a nerd about pain meds, damn... Sakyou will tear half the blister pack off to hand over! And go get him a mug of tea to take it with.]

If you need more later, just let me know.

[godcards]

[ UUGGGHH that means sitting up. but he'll do it. it's fine. he downs the pain meds and tea without much fuss. ]

Can I have them now? ...To have on hand for later. I won't take all of them now.

[modissty]

[There's a brief glance toward the other members of pain dorm here, but he'll nod and hand over the other part of the blister pack, too. He's saving a couple just in case anyone surprise needs any, but Malik can have the majority of the pack! i dont know how many doses it has left, normal blister pack amounts?? like 4 or 5 if you do 2 pills each]

I hope they do well for you. There are the baby aspirin as well, but I don't think they help as much...

[godcards]

[ just kind of. looks at sakyou. ]

Why would anyone need baby asprin? I'm not a baby.

[modissty]

That's the only type of pain medication freely available... I don't have any more beyond that, for now.

[Thanks sweet med center for being useless.]

It works somewhat, in any case. It's just a lower dose, meant to be safer for young children to take.

[godcards]

...Then that means taking more would be the same as a regular dose?

[modissty]

Mmm...You should probably ask someone better versed in medicine before doing that.

[He personally would be like SURE PROBABLY but then knowing his luck Malik would like, explode or something.]

[godcards]

[ i turned malik into a drug-seeking eboy in the span of a single night ]

I don't know how soon Otome will be able to speak to me, trusting she was healed as well.

[modissty]

[closes my eyes i'm proud of him.]

There are others who are familiar with modern-day medicines as well. Shinonome-san likely knows. Perhaps Hugo...? Maya?

[godcards]

She knows what happened, I don't want to have to explain anything.

[ he looks like he got run over by a haymaker but yeah sure explain ]

[modissty]

[YEAH HELLO SIR. Sakyou just sighs, a light little sound without any irritation behind it.]

I doubt any of the others would ask you to explain, either, if you said that you didn't wish to speak of it. They only need to tell you how much baby aspirin you can safely take.

[godcards]

[ LONGER PAUSE........... ]

I want to know Otome is okay.

[modissty]

[Sweet Malik you stupid stupid tsun. The vibes are all understanding, here, and there's a little fleeting smile.]

...Then I'm sure Yanagiya-san will be happy to speak with you tomorrow. We all worked as quickly as possible to pool our resources, so I'm sure she was healed soon after her arrival.

[Unless one or both of these two are dead! Damn.]

[godcards]

If she's healed like I was, that might not mean much...

[ how dare you guys not use all 72 vouchers. ]

[modissty]

[Their 72 vouchers that they drastically reduced to 24...]

Is it that bad? Is anything still broken or left unhealed, or is it just the lingering pain?

[godcards]

It's how it looks... and how it feels.

[ he is NOT going to show sakyou, but: ] I have a lot of scratches on my stomach and chest, so it hurts when I move.

[modissty]

[He ain't a doctor so he won't ask to see it either, but he just nods and frowns.]

Mm... I could ask how much more a proper heal would cost after the weekend.

[godcards]

You could, but I'd assume that it'd be rather expensive, and people would rather use their vouchers on anything else.

[ he just kinda waves a hand dismissively ]
