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.

[lucretia is here! she got bandaged at least, so along with the injuries being a little less bad thanks to healing, she's got bandages around her neck and hand and her burns. probably elsewhere but it's all covered currently. she's done her best to clean off, too, and changed clothes-- she's just wearing the red robes from the date auction, she likes those.

HOWEVER you are going to have to pick one of two moods because mooost of the time, her emotional vibes are about what you would expect. absolutely exhausted, worried-- there's some guilt here too, she is just generally feeling kind of fucked up.

mood number two happens once or twice in the period before sleep hits them all. all of a sudden the emotional vibes shift to anxiety, fear, kind of edging on panic, mixed with a lot of confusion. a lonely sort of feeling. a weird kind of emptiness. this is Fine. just let me know which you're tagging her during.]

[inaccordant]

[give me dealer's choice for mood teej]

I take it you're not dying.

[ambiography]

[you get mood 2 bc why not.

she shakes her head at that, but she does raise a hand to her throat. not dying, but also talking does not feel great right now.]

[inaccordant]

Sakyou made tea, if you haven't had any yet. [...] If you think you can drink anything right now.

[ambiography]

[she just kind of. waggles her left hand because her right arm is the one in a makeshift sling still-- that is a big old maybe? not a no, though.

also some of the bad vibes ease a bit, while she's talking to him-- the stress, the fear and the anxiety are all a little better. the background confusion is not.]

[inaccordant]

[... well, he'll make a note to try grabbing her a cup later, but also—]

What's wrong with you?

[hugo, master of tact]

[ambiography]

[


the confusion just gets worse, and the anxiety is absolutely back. she just kind of shakes her head? she doesn't know.]

[inaccordant]

[ugggh

concern flickers through the controlled calm hugo's otherwise been maintaining tonight, but.]

We'll figure something out. Go get some rest.

[and thus he starts walking off to grab some tea.]

[ambiography]

[the concern is sweet, thanks hugo...

she nods to that, but also, the bad vibes get worse when he starts walking off.]

[modissty]

[TWO! TWO! TWO! Because Sakyou will be concerned enough normally but just kind of hovering around people quietly in general, but he's definitely going to zero in the first time the vibes change. Hello?? He's trying to maintain some distance from everyone he speaks to just because they don't need his own Anxious Mad Vibes™, but sometimes you're all just an ouroboros of bad feelios.]

—Lucretia-dono?

[ambiography]

[yeah about that! if he's maintaining a little distance then she just. she straight up doesn't respond? it's like she didn't hear him.]

[modissty]

[LUCRETIA HELLO??????

Well. He doesn't want to approach and leak the bad vibes everywhere but he also doesn't want to just leave her having a Time, so he'll ease his way over carefully. There's a lot of anxiety and tension in his emotions, overlaying a Constant Anger that's pretty much just always chillin out there, it's fine.]

Can you hear me...?

[ambiography]

[oh-- she blinks, at that, glancing up to him, and nods? yes, she can hear him just fine, why is he asking.]

[modissty]

[CONCERN INTENSIFIES he's just going to be a ball of concern by the time they all pass out.]

Ah - it's just that it doesn't seem like you heard me, just now.

[ambiography]

[the confusion is back, there. she doesn't really seem like she understands why he's saying that?]

[modissty]

[Well. After a beat, he'll just offer a little smile, then! It's fine this is fine.]

Never mind. [He'll just have to KEEP AN EYE ON LUCRETIA TOO HE GUESSES!!] Are you feeling comfortable enough? Can I get you anything?

[ambiography]

[all of you dodging this are cowards. anyway

she still feels very unsettled and confused, but she just. nods slowly? yeah, she's ok for now.

oh, no, wait, does he still have the pain meds bc she will gesture at those. a bitch is covered in burns.]

[feytality]

[ let's say the fear anxiety and panic ]

Ms. Lucretia...?

[ambiography]

[followup question for you sipp: is she getting her attention before saying this? because if she doesn't then lucretia just doesn't respond, like she didn't hear.]

[feytality]

[ she's trying!!! but she's recovering too so she can't go over and like shake lucretia or anything ]

H-Hey....

[ambiography]

[okay, that one does work-- she looks up, there, looking over to maya worriedly. she can't really speak up but there is a very definite vibe of 'are you good over there' in the way she seems to check her over.]

[feytality]

[ maya is very worried thanks ]

W-What's the matter....?

[ambiography]

[have some very confused vibes, maya! she doesn't fucking know actually.]

[feytality]

[ what the heckie happened to lucretia and co ]

We.. We're all here. Don't worry.

[ambiography]

[she nods, slowly, and maya gets some gratitude for the reassurance!

the uncertain vibes are still very here, though.]
