FALL COMMON ROOM - WEEK 5

[dormheads]

common room.

The common room of the Fall Dorm has soft, dimmer lighting; plush carpet over wood; and several comfortable chairs and sectionals. A few big windows overlook the dormitory area of campus, but there is also a single, cozy bay window on one side.

A television and bluetooth surround-sound are here for Fall students who are more inclined to be tech savvy. In the cabinets under the entertainment stand are an assortment of board games, but the television does have a generic "free tv" app for shows and music.

Above the enormous center fireplace is a moody painting.

This week, there's something else.

specialty room.

Through a door on the first floor, there is an antigravity room. Stepping just a few feet through the doorway will lift everyone up into the air. The seating and most of the rest of the room remains somehow rightfully in place on the floor and will not move. Students, however, can grab pillows and blankets, cups or bowls, or other small items to bring into the air with them.

Please use this as an open post for members of Fall 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.

[He opens the front door to the dorm to come in probably when they're all trying to discuss the letters, but his foot gets caught on the frame because he doesn't lift it high enough. There's an extremely loud thud in the foyer area.

He lets out a small groan, and it sounds like he maybe says "fuck"? It could be "fudge" or something, though. If anyone comes to look, they'll find Riku face-down half inside the dorm, cheeks glowing and eyes a little glassy.]

I knew... I shouldn't have trusted... her.

[...

GASPS.]

Are you finally going through your rebellious phase, Riku-kun?

[Did someone give him a weed.]

[darksubverted]

[He lifts his head. Squints.

And then drops his cheek back down on the floor.]

No... tricked... by... womanly wiles...

[txt]

[Sir... She drops to a crouch next to him, watching him perish. Does he smell like booze or weed, tho.]

Was it Maya-chan? Did she crawl out the bathroom window?

[darksubverted]

[He smells like alcohol, yeah. But not hard necessarily. Smells kind of like apple cider.]

Maya?!

[He sits up at the chest way too fast and groans.]

Is she hurt...?

[lifeless]

You're such a lightweight.

[manwol says having absolutely no idea what's going on]

[darksubverted]

I only had...

[There is

the longest pause in the entire world. He lifts his head.]

Three.

[lifeless]

Three what? Jello shots? Cocktails? Piña coladas?

[darksubverted]

No--no.

[Hisoka's jello shots? I'm sorry you won't get this reference.]

I think... uh, cider. Maybe.

[silentscout]

[DRUNK BABY

Lalli walks right over to go help him up.]

To the couch with you.

[darksubverted]

Hey, Lal... Lalli.

[He's a tad wobbly when trying to get up, wincing when he has to use his bandaged right hand. But it's fine.]

Not... the stinky couch...

[why]

[silentscout]

The non-stinky couch then.

[He will try to guide Riku to literally any couch except the Spring dorm couch they stole.]

[darksubverted]

Okay.

[Sorry to Lalli, but when he gets up, he puts an arm around the other's shoulders and almost leans all of his weight on him.]

[illuminance]

[ hehe. ]

Let's get you to a couch.

[darksubverted]

...Lux.

[He raises his head and chest, but just sits there for a long moment. Slowly, he sticks his arm up and out.

Help.]

[illuminance]

[ she will help him up as gently as she can. ]

You need to drink water, too. I'll get you some once you're seated.

[darksubverted]

[He struggles to get up like a cooked noodle. Wow. This sucks.]

I... had some... but..

[Not enough for a light-weight!]

[ghoststrums]

[ stares at Riku on the ground ]

You look like my dad after a work celebration. [ tsks. he'll help pull him up ] Did you get drunk?

[darksubverted]

Gee... thanks...

[He struggles to get up on his feet, almost slipping, but managing. He wobbles unsteadily, though, and grabs a fistful of Yamato's clothes to have something to hold on to.]

Why is the dorm floating... on the moat...? Oh... Iris... She's a pain in my--

[WAH. He grabs Yamato again because he's tipping backward.]

[ghoststrums]

How much did you have, seriously--

[ he's trying to keep riku steady best as he can but there's a yelp when he starts tipping backwards because he's grabbing onto yamato's clothes and that's very awkward, and oh, goodbye, off they go to the floor in a pile. ]

Riku!!

[ you useless drunk!!! ]

[darksubverted]

[Please don't be a noodle and just fall over when he grabs!!!

When he lands on the floor in a tangle of limbs, he groans lowly, and then... burps down in his chest? It knocked a burp out of him.]

Ow...

[alitaba]

[ she's crouching next to him, grinning ]

You're in soooo much trouble.

[darksubverted]

[He reaches up to try to push at her face, but doesn't take his cheek on the nice, cool floor.]

S... shhh. Don't tell. [...] I need to... get up before someone comes.

[alitaba]

[ a finger to her lip, pay no attention to the phone taking blackmail pictures ]

You sure you're gonna be able to slug your way to the couch?

[ she's not helping ]

[darksubverted]

[STOP TAKING BLACKMAIL PHOTOS OF HIM HELLO.]

I...'m gonna try.

[He tries to push himself up. Ends up rolling over.

Lies there.]
