WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 5

common room.
Similar to the rest of the architecture, the common room in the Winter Dorm is almost more reminiscent of a tea room or parlor that you would find in a manor. A chandelier hangs above, everything in the room glistening in the light that is both welcoming and just a tinge cold. Seating is available for a number of people to gather, adjusting each week to seemingly accommodate a little bit over the number of people assigned to the dorm. A piano doesn't sit too far, and sometimes when the room isn't too full, it's almost like a beautiful classical melody will begin to play itself to make up for the empty space.
Or... is that a showtune...?
Who can say?
This week, something else has been provided!
specialty room.
However on the first floor, there's an oddity amidst the serene architecture. One of the rooms opens to a Gaming Lounge, complete with screens that stretch across the entirety of one wall length-wise. Incredible comfortable chairs and couches sit opposite the screen, comfortable enough to steal you away from the outside world for hours upon hours. A series of gaming systems are hooked up to the screens, and a small tower of handhelds sit on a bookcase nearby. Every game you can think of is downloaded and programmed onto each device, though every time you start one up it seems to immediately pull up an otome game or farming simulator. The lighting system changes between a rainbow of colors, and one wall is lined with snacks that are a little less decadent but still just as delicious. The room will adjust based on the needs of the game you play, a wall spinning out to roll out DDR dance pads, virtual reality goggles, or whatever you could need for the ultimate gaming experience.
No, it isn't incredibly reminiscent of Dude Perfect's Game Time Lounge. You're imagining it. (But really, click the link for a better idea of what the room looks like.)
Please use this as an open post for members of Winter 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.

... excuse me, do I need to introduce myself?

guilty moment, and he just holds out his hand not for a shake, but for a handhold, giving her the same tod in the rain levels of sad face he gave beau earlier. ]
I'm all here right now - it's been coming and going, though mostly going. Sorry, Iris.
no subject
That's okay.
[she'll lift his hand to press a gentle kiss to the back of his knuckles]
I just wanted to be sure. You're mine no matter what.
[whether he remembers her or not, she'll adore him]
no subject
he squeezes her hand, keeping it after she kisses his knuckles. ]
"Boss" then forgot his loved ones for two days, right? [ it's weak, but yeah. she's only been forgotten, temporarily, because she's important to him. ]
no subject
something slowly clicks for her then, in realization. oh. oh,
she squeezes his hand back, belatedly]
.... then know you are loved in return, and I will hold all our memories for you without error.
no subject
[ it's pretty hard for someone who studies the veritable blueprint of the brain to be dealing with this kind of thing, but it's fine. right now, he remembers winter in its entirety, and iris is included.
but there's another little squeeze - a quick one-two pulse of one, grateful - before he'll just go ahead and make sure something is taken care of while he remembers these people in entirety. ]
So, let me help everybody while I still know how important they are. Can I throw some vouchers your way?
no subject
Yes, of course... What are you looking to get?
no subject
looks around and everyone and the fact that, like, 90% of the dorm now has blood on their hands and clothes.
looks back at her. ]
The orbeez have got to go.
no subject
she looks so unbelievably, viscerally angry for a moment]
Yes.
Perhaps on any other day I would consider this a rather inconsiderate and inconvenient prank, but today it is thoughtless and incompetent. Someone's brain must've been leaking out of their ears even without being taken on a blasted field trip. [they've made an enemy out of iris for just being STUPID]
Five Vouchers Base Price - three for you.
no subject
The petty part of me wants to ask if we can magically return to sender? Even to just one suite's bathroom - I'm not a complete asshole, I wouldn't ask to do both suites.
no subject
No, you need access to every Dorm. And I think this one in particular is rather cruel.
[iris is very against anything that makes it harder to use the restroom because she has a fucking conscience and a sense of grace]
Our revenge will be assured, and less juvenile.
no subject
i truly and sincerely hope that whoever was involved in this prank can feel the absolute fury that is iris in this moment.
kon ducks forward and drops a kiss to her hair, pulling his hand away - only to give her three vouchers in exchange, pressing them into her possession like this is payment for a political assassination and not getting rid of some fucking orbeez. ]
Beware the fury of a patient man.
no subject
Ah, two from you, one from Ichiro. A small collaboration.
[adjust your math please, snow! ichiro wants to help.....
that said,]
But I think if there's anything that's been proven lately, it's that the wrath of Winter cannot be stopped, only delayed.
no subject
Let's get him get cleaned up. [ blease, he needs it so badly.
but he'll slip that voucher back in with his other ones, nodding as he looks out at their disarray of winters. (this is now the scientific naming for a gathering of winter residents.) ]
We'll think of something... impressive. Though, most of the things that we do wind up in that vein.
no subject
but iris nods]
You are all always impressive. That is always true no matter what, and why I have no qualms about relying on you all.
