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.

[she laughs]

We only took existing stars, I think -

[but she'll open her arms to him!!]

Welcome home, Leo.

[ BEAMS and immediately hugs her! ]

It's good to be back. I never want to see another cup of applesauce in my life.
azuta: (ღ miss independent)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I will go to the cafeteria and throw them all out immediately.

[but she's giggling, hugging him back in a warm embrace]
commandertoolbelt: (crazy no this is totally normal)

You da best, Iris.

Gods, I wasn't even gone for that long, and I still missed being back here with everyone else. You guys even got to do this camping thing without us!
azuta: (ღ when you can be a venus flytrap.)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't say that - all our camping materials are still here. We can spread out and stay out under the stars as long as we want.
commandertoolbelt: (lounging)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-25 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I will, even if the others go back in. It's been a while since I've gone camping for real - like, without monsters hunting me down.

What's with the star thing, anyway?
azuta: (ღ i done got so sick)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
.... I see! Then let's enjoy this without any monsters.

[with a soft laugh]

Beauregard and I were looking for something to do earlier in the week - so we thought filling the sky with Winters would be fun.
commandertoolbelt: (let's do this)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-26 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ hums thoughtfully. ]

You know in Greek myths, that's supposed to be an honor reserved for heroes? Or at least the ones the gods wanted everyone to remember.

Does the same thing apply here?
azuta: (ღ miss independent)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-26 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so...?

[she looks back at the chart, and then just softly laughs]

... well. I am no god, and I do not know if I care for all these distinctions about heroes and villains...

But I know for certain that I think that you all deserve to be remembered, and that your stories should be repeated to all who care to hear.
commandertoolbelt: (here comes the smolder)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-26 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'd hope not; the gods are terrible.

[ that's your family, leo. ]

Might be nice to be remembered, though. We don't need gods to do that for us.
