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 π thumbs up, yellow with a π fist (for knock first, fools), and red with a π« 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.

'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. ]

[she tilts her head, gently amused]

[ 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. ]

Okay. I've slept outside for a Winter before, I'll do it again.
no subject
You have your own bedroom? [ he like sounds so bemused. ]
no subject
[ . . . 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.]

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? ]
no subject
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....!
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
[her feral cats....
I feel perfectly looked after, thank you.]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[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...
no subject
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.
no subject
I want to. I mean it. [I promise.]
