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.

[glancing over at him... who are you romancing in fall, ichiro.... she makes a confused face for a moment before nodding and putting on a smile again]
Well - that's sweet! Stay happy or I will destroy all of Fall personally.

anyway by explanation: ]
I made curry for Futaba, since she was so... [ he frowns, a little, too - they all saw futaba's panic attack, and it still clearly tugs at his heart strings. ] ... she just needed it. And I ended up making enough that Riku helped me bring them dinner. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
no subject
[what does she see. she sips some water. for her hangover.]
That's very kind of you. I'm glad Riku was able to allow you that moment with them - and you were able to clue in to a cute little secret too.
no subject
[ a beat - he looks a little sheepish, now, embarrassed. ] ...'m trying not to... you know. Be more productive when I'm mad.
[ so stress cooking! instead of wall punching. he learned something. proud of him. ]
...now that I think about it, they were trying to recruit me too...
no subject
wow!]
Were they?
Who exactly?
no subject
I shut it down though. No way I'm going anywhere.
no subject
Mm-hmm....
[easy. breezy. noncommittal. she's chill and everything is fine.
she walks over to him and tugs on one of his jacket strings.]
Do keep it that way.
[iris alpha week is over]
no subject
cheeks turning a little red, he like, stutters for a second? and then gets his shit back together? his ears are still red but that's fine. ]
Right. I - hey, I said it, right? I'm sticking around no matter what. I meant it.
no subject
goodness this is such a sweet reaction she is just the worst. she's still a little sharp and moody, and it's probably mostly the swan-like behavior, but she eases up just a little.]
... I'm doing my best to believe in that. [and she'll let go of his jacket string to reach for his hand and give it a brief squeeze, even if she pulls away after] ... but I don't think you'll let me down.
[so that's something.]
I'm going to go make bread now.
[she will stop choosing violence and plotting to burn down fall dorm for trying to steal a winter,]
no subject
....okay, uh... good luck with the bread....?
[ goodbye iris?????? ]
no subject
oya? ]
I think you'll probably not have to worry about destroying Fall, but I'll let you know if it comes to that. [ fondly, iris, please, ]
no subject
For you and the rest of Winter, I'd make everyone my enemy in an instant.
[SAY THAT LESS WILLINGLY]
no subject
I believe that entirely, but I don't think they're necessarily a hostile enemy. Just an unwitting one.
[ why are you all like this ]
no subject
Well, you know, it's all in good fun for now...
[if they try to steal one of her winters for real it'll be
less good fun]
Let's make sure we prepare for a counterattack.
