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.

[ not looking away from his phone as he pipes up: ]

There's two rooms to a suite, so if we wanted to spread out, we could. Even just to one of the empty rooms. [ feasibly ] Or we could use the other suite entirely for renting out or a privacy.

[ he is not implying for being nasty only, by the by, but if you want to be nasty that's on you. ]

Might be good to set up a room like a study lounge, or something...? Maybe somewhere to hang out and read? Game room's kinda loud.

[



but their game nights and sprawling?
]

Wouldn't be hard to do, really. And if we wanted, enough of us are handy with tools that we could probably convert the bunkbed into a desk if we really wanted.

I suppose it wouldn't be bad to take a break somewhere less crowded once in a while. Get some reading done.

[Caleb is also not considering the nasty purposes of this.]

Yeah, I like you guys and all, but we're all kind of rowdy and sometimes I don't want to listen to gaming music or the piano when I'm reading.
