dormheads | WINTER COMMON ROOM

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.

[Weed is definitely not the drug for Caleb Widogast, he doesn't need it. But he will have a little champagne, drinking out of a bottle. He's also still wearing Molly's coat even though it's hot out.

Anyway, I learned my lesson last time, you can decide if you want to give him a truth or a dare.]

Okay, okay. I am playing.

You're getting glitter all over that damn thing again ...

[He spent so long trying to shake it out earlier!! Ugh. Well, it's fine.]

I dare you to punch Beau.

Why do you want to get me injured. . .

[Fine! He'll do it.]

Okay, I did it. [And got punched!!]

Truth or Dare.

I know, you were very brave.

[HE SAW IT WAS FOUR FEET AWAY. Making an aw but sort of condescending and reaching over to fix the collar of his coat. Molly's coat. Checking to see if Beau hurt it by punching it.]

Truth, I guess. You'll dare me to punch Beauregard.

Hmm. You are very shameless, so how about. . . the adult in any of the dorms you would least like to kiss.

[Wait]

You can't say Beauregard.

[Fuck I was going to say Beauregard.]

Erm. Hmmmmm.

[This should not be that hard of a question?]

Spring, Maya. [Little sister zoned.] Summer, Mandricardo. Fall ... [I HOPE THIS ONE IS OBVIOUS.] Winter, you.

Interesting answer.

Tell us an embarrassing story about Beau or Molly?

One each.

There was a time we had to try to get into this hospital in order to find out information about a man who worked there. Mollymauk decided he needed to disguise as a sick person, so his solution was to put scrambled eggs on his dick and claim it was diseased. This plan did not work whatsoever.

Beauregard once bought an owl as a pet. She tried to train him for about two days, but we accidentally stole a boat and she forgot to call to him, and we never saw him again.

[ okay, okay okay what

MOLLY!!!! he's - laughing, at least? he can't help it?? ]

Scrambled eggs? What? Why didn't you just fake a fever?! Dude.

Because it was a good idea! Do you think a doctor is rushing anywhere for a tiefling with a fever? No, he's running to the room that the staff has warned him that the person inside has a terrifying cock! Or at least I'd want to see it.

[Like a car crash. Anyway it was an exceedingly bad idea.]

Augh, stop, stop, gross, gross, I don't want to think about your dick being terrifying!

[ STOP THIS!!!!!!! ]

I dare you....to.....

oh! Do your best cat impression! Ya gotta do the voice and everything!

[Turning his hand down. You know, like nya.]

Miau. Miau. Miau.

[he grins and claps at the performance, amused by the simplicity of the old serious wizard nya-ing it up]

Bravo, bravo, just like the real thing.

Alright, hit me with what ya got. Revenge dare or the truth thing.

[He was so unashamed by this.]

Okay. I dare you to text someone in another dorm and tell them you are trapped on their roof.

[wide-eyed, he laughs] Damn, that's a real good one! Okay, hold on.

[he pulls out his phone and holds it really close to face to talk into it, which is the way he's done every single one of his texts since arriving]

Taichi dude you gotta help me I got trapped on the fall roof somehow and can't get down

[he gives caleb a thumbs up]

[Okay, this is pretty funny, he's waiting to see the response.]

Hm... First thing you're going to do when you get home?

Uhm. Well. This is a difficult question.

[Hopefully come back to life?]

When I next have a free moment, I would like to see the rest of the Mighty Nein, of course. Perhaps return to Nicodranas for a little while?

[wait, come back to... oh, no.]

—Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, I didn't realize...

Ah -

[Holding his hands out.]

No, it's uhm - it's alright. That in particular is not such a serious obstacle for my friends and I, but the circumstances in general are complex.

...Is it okay if I ask about it later? Just, um...

[maybe not in the middle of a party]

But if you’d rather not talk about it, I get that, too.

[Well he's pretty crossfaded and a little tired at this point, but he hears all of this and just sort of-- glances over. His thoughts go through a bit of a scramble but the general jist of it is ... guilt.]
