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.

He's either taking it literally or assuming it's a meme.

[ GIVE HIM A MINUTE ]

Gods. Okay. Truth or dare, Iris?
azuta: (ღ (tell me something))

[But it is all of you....

. . . . she looks sincerely stumped for a moment. it's her beloved winters that make her home so beautiful? so picking something else is hard....]


... my favorite thing is when you all just - band together for the rowdiest, silliest things but with the same exactitude and efficiency of an army. It's so fun and ridiculous - I never got to do things like this before so it's...

Novel, and perfect.
commandertoolbelt: (chuckling)

Truly genius - I will never attend a better party.
commandertoolbelt: (lounging)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-26 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't been to many parties, honestly? But that one's definitely in the top five.

[ anyway it's sometime around here that he gets a very concerning text so

he'll just. go sit somewhere out of the way and deal with that i guess (pensive)

azuta: (ღ diva is a female version of a hustla)

[h

hello?????

she's going to follow after - ]


Leo...? Is something the matter?
commandertoolbelt: (shut up I'm working)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-26 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's frowning!! but he doesn't want to interrupt everyone else's fun, so he keeps his voice quiet. ]

...He's kind of upset.
azuta: (ღ i've bought it.)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-26 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[oh no]

... uh-oh...

[ . . . ]

Shall we prepare an apology and a gift?
commandertoolbelt: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-26 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ leo's thoughts are just kind of hhhhhhhhh ]

No, it'll be fine. Probably. [ . . . ] I don't think he's the gift-appreciating type? Not for something like that.

azuta: (ღ boy you get dismissed)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-26 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[she nods... and she'll just place a hand on his shoulder]

Do let me know however I can help...

[she feels a little guilty even tho it was funny,]
commandertoolbelt: (resigned)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-26 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ it was funny but sometimes a tree has emotions i guess ]

Yeah, I will. He'll probably be fine, he just... I just need to talk him down, I think. [ he gives iris a little, hesitant smile...? ] It's not really about the text. It just reminded him of something.
azuta: (ღ miss out of my way)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-26 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see...

[she looks sheepish]

Well, sorry for the little disruption - he's welcome to come and be angry with me since I initiated the dare.
commandertoolbelt: (nerrrrrrrd)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2021-07-26 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ laughs ]

I'll let him know. He's got plenty of anger to spare, so if he thinks you deserve it, you'll definitely hear about it.
azuta: (ღ how'd you like this)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-26 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Then I'll brace myself!
