SUMMER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 5

[dormheads]

common room.

The common room is as bright and open as the rest of the dorm. Beanbag chairs and even more hammocks are situated around for any of your resting needs, because who needs couches? There are a few blankets on the couch just for comfort, but the temperature is never cold enough to need them because of chill. There's also an absurd amount of pillows.

The walls are decorated with paintings that are either modern art pieces or done by kindergarteners. There are also photographs tacked onto the walls as well, of seemingly random things like a vase of flowers, a mailbox, a bird on a tree branch. The photos are less about grand views and feels more like someone testing out a camera.

On a table is a welcome basket.

specialty room.

In the common room, there's a door that leads to what can only be described as an Occult Room for some strange reason. Unlike the rest of the dorm, this room is dimly lit and is crowded with items—a skeleton that may or may not be real, taxidermy animals, really creepy looking dolls, an actual coffin, etc. On a table to the side is a Ouija board, a few tarot decks, and crystal ball.

I know I originally asked Mabel if she'd consider moving to another dorm while we settle things here. [ You know, with Otome killing Mandricardo's boyfriend who also lived here. ] And I've been approached by a couple of people that considered what I did wrong and that I was shirking responsibility onto other people. Instead, I should be making this a place where she can stay.

[ we are literally all depressed here and whatever mandy has going on after the cyoa but Nier will do his best ]

Maybe I was wrong. I just didn't want her to stay here and see the pain and distrust any longer. She was trying her best to help us and I thought she was giving so much without receiving the protection and nurture she needed.

... With all we learned recently, can things be okay? The pain and the hurt can't be erased, but we can focus on overcoming this place instead.

... I think she'll probably end up switching back, unless she ends up really loving Fall or something.

[amain]

Considering how much she hates me, I wonder about that... I do plan to apologize to her. See if I can clear misunderstandings again.

[ Attempt. 2. Without emotion share. wowie. ]

[momming]

Maybe I can do it with you? Sort of like an interpreter.

[amain]

Would that really be all right?

[ IS THAT CHEATING? ]

[momming]

Of course! Mabel's a part of our dorm. I don't see anything wrong with more than one member of it working together to help her understand.

[amain]

... Thank you, Otome. When do you want to do that?

[momming]

Mm. Friday and Saturday are highly emotional days, understandably... Sunday?

[amain]

Sunday.

[ FAIR. ]

… I hope we survive till then.

[momming]

... So do I.

[amain]

I want to think they'll heed the warning on the marquee, but...

Thank you for all you've done for us, out of your own will.

[ you know in case you just die ]

[momming]

...

[ sorry Nier you're getting hugged. A little tightly. ]

Thank you for letting me.

[amain]

[ ... He hugs her back. KIA I SWEAr if otome is gone then who is fucking us over ]

How can I not? You were the first person to be kind to me in this place...

[ When he had no one. ]

[momming]

[ Stop she's just 70% concerned about impending death this weekend!! ]

I did tell you I believed in kindness. If nothing else, I've tried to hold onto that as much as I could.

[amain]

[ no one is going to kill otome. A nod. ]

... I'll try to do my best, too.
