WINTER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 6

[dormheads]

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.)

[ he turns his phone around to show - it's pulled up to the profile page, currently showing caleb's. ]

... I remembered earlier. I think it's fading, again - it's been in and out.

[katzepaw]

Maybe by tomorrow, it will have faded entirely.

[steelo]

Did you know I have brothers? [ he says this with a smile, a little faint, but there. ] Two of them. I love them.

[ ...

I hope it will have. I need it to. Maybe tomorrow, I'll wake up just fine.

he shakes his head. ]

...yeah. Just gotta push through a little bit longer.

[katzepaw]

Jiro and Saburo. [He smiles a little back.] But have you forgotten Tamajiro and Tamaburo?

[steelo]

[ a beat. ]

The eggs! [ he like brightens up so much and then makes a confused face, like a dog that got bopped on the nose. what the fuck, why can I remember a couple of eggs and not people? really? ]

[katzepaw]

Our little demon eggs that are always fighting with one another and getting into trouble.

[steelo]

Mm, yeah, yeah, I remember. That's what little brothers do, heh. Trying to pick fights - that doesn't mean they didn't love each other, though.

[ That's definitely right. ] Just that they were kinda fighty. And boys.
