WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 6
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!
On Suite One's Door, a sign has been placed on the front. there's four options, however, and they're color coded - green with a 👍 thumbs up, yellow with a 👊 fist (for knock first, fools), and red with a 🚫 no entry sign. the fourth option is just black for now, probably to indicate that it's not in use.
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.

STRIKE UP THE BAND AND LET THE FIREFLIES DANCE...
As always, a note on the piano reads:
It's too hot to stay inside!
So maybe this is my playful suggestion that we all get out more.
Take a look in the backyard - I hope it's to your liking.
An evening for catching fireflies sounds nice, doesn't it?
And of course, treat our new resident with warmth. ♥ Welcome!
Yours,
Iris
. . . though the area that she signs off looks a bit uneven, as though it's been whited out and there's something underneath. huh.
anyway, more importantly, in the backyard between the main Winter Dorm building and Kainé's Housé, there appears to be some cozy camping set-ups outside, with plenty of blankets for a Winter Cuddle Party, as Winters are wont to do. there's an acoustic guitar out there, for anyone who wants to play wonderwall. string lights and lanterns will illuminate the back area but can be turned off. there are a few mason jars, as promised, and fireflies will occasionally flicker around the back area to be caught. One mason jar is also filled with sparklers, hell yeah. Don't burn anything down.]

You can find him either playing with that sign to Suite 1, like he's considering just waltzing into this dorm and claiming it:]
You're telling me there's a private bathroom in there? No one else is using it? It has all of its toilet seats intact?
[oooooor lounging outside in the glamping set up, smoking. Something. He'll offer it out to you if you look his way.]
Hit?
[Why did you invite him again.]

Don't come in here and take over the boudoir or I'm making you sleep outside, asshole.

here is ichiro, fresh out of bed and wandering out to the common room. he makes it like halfway before he stops, and backtracks, because that was a very purple presence here in the morning! thankfully upon recognition, seeing molly is like the least surprising thing in the world, but - ]
Purple rain, hey, dude! Glad you could join us, 's good to have you!

Why would Spring Dorm do this. . .

I kind of like it this way?
thursday
speaking of doing stuff out in the mingles! kon is here! there's more injuries underneath his clothes, but the moment that he was cleared to bathe he was gone and showering the smell of rot off of him. so he's mostly fine, now, if kind of obviously hollow about life rn. ]
We got another memo. [ he pulls his phone out and puts it down on the table for everybody to see the one image. ] If you want to see the actual thing, Futaba has it - but just. Be gentle with her about it.
They're shows and movies, including specific episodes where listed. Luke 24 might be the final chapter of the Christian Bible, but I'll look into it later when I can go to the library.
[ ... ]
You can ask questions, if you want, but I might hold off on answering the ones that aren't relevant to Wiwaldi until later, if that's okay.

Chapter 29 of Dragonball Z - "Piccolo's Last Stand." Yu Yu Hakusho's chapter 17 is "The Golden Awakening."
[ the otaku memory is like a fucking steel trap ]
... They're both about death and bringing people back to life. Piccolo sacrifices himself to save Gohan, which kills Kami in the process, but brings Gohan back. The Golden Awakening is when Urameshi finds out he could be brought back to life if he was kissed, and Keiko-chan successfully brings him back to life.

her thoughts are going a mile a minute and it's all various cursing and anger and scribbles, but she's silent, sitting down next to him. she doesn't touch him yet, expression sharp and clear, but it's obvious she doesn't give two shits about the information that they brought back just yet.]

anyway she's going to completely bypass the memo? clearly it's none of her business. she'll just settle by kon then, looking clearly worried]
Do you need anything? Ice? A heating pad? Water?

And she understands nothing on the memo.
But people saying to rest are valid. She'll let her thoughts support that. ]

WEEK 6, SUNDAY
Please refer to the top for other changes - but it seems like there are a few additions on this joyous Sunday.
There’s a large banner that reads in elegant script: Welcome Home! Beneath it, it seems like one of the star maps from the observatory has been stolen. New constellations have been drawn out, and they’re re-labeled in familiar penmanship. They read: Beauregardius, Catradora Borealis, Crow’s Nest, Denjiceros, Dima Leonis (in smaller writing - Bleo), Hanayagi Nebula, Ichiban, Kainéopeia, Kon Proxima, Leo Venatici, Mollymauk Way, Rupert Corona Major, Soliris, and Widogast Major.
Over the top of the star map it reads: TO THE WINTERS GO THE SPOILS.
A sticky note on the bottom right corner says: Startographers: Beauregard & Iris
Outside in the camping area, there are multiple bottles of champagne and assorted alcohol in ice buckets. The good stuff. No reason not to let the bright spirits flow! For some reason, the ladder to the roof is also back. idk you just all seem to like going up there.]

Crow's nest, huh? I like it.
