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.

Okay. I'll tell Kon.

[ he fidgets, a little. probably just a little bit guilty, but he seems to be masking it okay.
...he squeezes her hand, though. ]
no subject
... do you want to discuss it?
no subject
[ that would probably be helpful, right? he doesn't seem to mind the close proximity. most of his injuries are on his front or his right side, so as long as she settles on the left, she should be fine! his right arm briefly had outside bones. it's cool. ] I gave the details on my last one, so...
[ but also... The Trauma. haha! ] ...I survived getting attacked by a wolf? I guess that's cool. [ bad ] Maybe I'll turn into a werewolf. [ worse. joking! probably. ]
no subject
... that is cool. You can tell the story to everyone and brag.
[even if she looks like she'd probably skin the wolf herself,]

Think I did Thriller a little too hard. [ haha......... ha.... ]
We were running through the woods, trying to escape from a cop Mabel kicked in the balls. I helped her and Miku get up in a tree, and - that's when it jumped out at me. Got us caught.
[ stupid. he should've been quieter. ]
no subject
hmmmmmmMMMMMMMM]
.... thank you for looking after Mabel.
no subject
well.
any of the joy on his face just disappears like a candle was blown out. he looks away. ]
...didn't do a good job of it, but. Thanks, I guess.
no subject
Ichiro...
[ . . . ]
I know you did everything you could. She made it out, and we're all going to look after her now. But you helped her get this far, and that counts for something.
no subject
[ normally, he'd take this - he'd agree. he did. he stayed with her the entire time - and he just talked about this with beau, that he was taking on too much individual responsiblity. he was starting to feel better.
... right now, all of that feels like it's gone - because mabel was his individual responsibility, and he fucked it up beyond all belief. he can't say that, though. he can't make iris feel bad - feel worse. can't weigh her down because of what? his own pathetic inability to be a big brother? to take care of people? that's on him.
he squeezes her hand. the corner of his mouth lifts up, in a little smile, as if to say it's okay. ] Of course.
no subject
... I'll keep saying it until you believe me.
It's okay if you don't yet.
[but she's stubborn, so. she just takes greater issue with if someone tries to give her false pleasantries.]
no subject
... I know you will. [ iris is really stubborn. he likes that about her, though.
he's just been such a burden on people lately. ]
no subject
she'll be careful around his scratch but she's also not pulling away if he's leaning into her touch?]
.... Make sure you rest, okay? If any of your injuries hurt too much, let me know.
no subject
he nods a little to the question. ] ...I will. I think I gotta get some blood back in my body before I take any painkillers, though.
[ he
lost a lot of blood. haha. ]
'm gonna take a shower once everything's fixed, and try to pass out before we all have to. Okay?
no subject
[she's just fretting and fussing now...]
