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 πŸ‘ thumbs up, yellow with a πŸ‘Š 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.

Room for one more...?

[ he's up here just kind of sitting, watching over the party, holding a coke in his good hand! when iris pops up, he just looks at her for a long second, and then shrugs his shoulder, expression softening. ]

...if you want to.
azuta: (ღ we team up)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't do anything I don't want to.

[she will go perch next to him though, leaning briefly against him to let their shoulders brush on his uninjured side before pulling back]

[ that gets a little huff. I know you don't.

... ]


's lively, down there. [ which seems a little like a pun, but it is, in fact, very lit. people look so happy, and the dorm looks so full. ]
azuta: (ღ i done got so sick)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
... we might need to steal another bed?

[she tilts her head, gently amused]
steelo: (68.)

[personal profile] steelo 2021-07-25 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'm gonna pull a Dimitri and just sleep outside, again.

[ there's a little "pfft", noise. save the bed for someone who needs it.

...after everything, besides, he's feeling more cagey than ever. maybe it's his turn to be the feral cat who needs to be convinced in. ]
azuta: (ღ how'd you like this)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . a huff.]

Okay. I've slept outside for a Winter before, I'll do it again.
steelo: we're still working out (132.)

[personal profile] steelo 2021-07-25 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ iris????? ]

You have your own bedroom? [ he like sounds so bemused. ]
azuta: (ღ miss out of my way)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Did Dimitri never tell you? When he was still sleeping outside, I would stay out every other night and track him down. It was even much colder back then! I had to get us electric blankets...

[ . . . she just laughs a bit.]

I don't like the idea of leaving anyone out by themselves. So I hope you don't mind my stubbornness. If anything, it'll open my bed if anyone wants it...

[It's okay. You're all more than worth it.]

[ christ. he's quiet for a second, and then - huffs, a little, and covers his face with his good hand. ]

I made sure KainΓ© got that house so she wasn't sleeping outside, and you were out there the whole time....

[ his shoulders are shaking? ]
azuta: (ღ tell me how you feel about this)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[sdlfkj

she flusters]


Wait - don't— [I want to say don't laugh but I miss your laugh so maybe it's okay.]

Stoppp. It worked out....!
steelo: (183.)

[personal profile] steelo 2021-07-25 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That was dumb.

[ and it is there - he is laughing. just a tiny, tiny bit, his shoulders shaking a little, soft and quiet as he muffles his smile with his hand. stupid. you worry about us but you need it just as bad.
azuta: (ღ i bought it.)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't say that to me when I'm about to pack sleeping bags for us both...

[her feral cats....

I feel perfectly looked after, thank you.]
steelo: (181.)

[personal profile] steelo 2021-07-25 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
We just had this argument like two days ago.

[ please sleep in your bed iris jesus christ

its pretty good natured, at least? not quite ichiro's usual warmth but, maybe a shade of it. ]
azuta: (ღ we team up)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
We're going to keep having it...

[but - she smiles back, as if trying to add to his warmth with some of her own]

But if we stay outside, maybe we can map out the stars? Did you see? Beauregard was very intentional in naming the Ichiban constellation for you.

It might still be nice...
steelo: (332)

[personal profile] steelo 2021-07-25 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ does she even know what means? he thinks, not lacking fondness. ichiban, ichiro, ichigo, ichie...

well. he hasn't been feeling much like number one lately, but that's okay. the sentiment isn't lost. ]


...Maybe. You don't have to stay with me. I know you're gonna say you don't feel like you have to, but - I'm serious.
azuta: (ღ i can't spend it)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-25 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[the thought makes iris laugh next - and she reaches out to gently poke ichiro in the uninjured cheek, smiling]

I want to. I mean it. [I promise.]
