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 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]
katzepaw: (gum arabic)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-26 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, this is pretty funny, he's waiting to see the response.]

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-07-26 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[the text comes back really quickly:]

?????????
what do you mean you got trapped on the roof
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T GET DOWN?????


[denji grins as it reads out, although he can recognize right away the all-caps and question marks]

Knew he'd have a good reaction. Can't help savin' people.

What should I send back? [caleb's the brains of this operation]
katzepaw: (engraved object)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-26 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he should go outside and see if he can spot you waving.

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-07-26 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[he talks into his phone again:]

Exactly what it sounds like! I'm on the roof and need someone to come up and get me so I can come down [he thinks for a moment, then adds:] I gotta pee real bad and also I'm thirsty.

[looks at caleb like, "how's that?"]
katzepaw: (spider)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-26 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[A thumbs up.]
sawboned: (pic#14944836)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-07-26 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[the reply again comes quickly:]

oh my god
alright, i'll be right there
if this is a prank somehow i reserve the right to push you off the roof instead


[and then, taichi comes out of fall dorm and looks up]

Get down, get down!

[hiding below the roofline, he stage-whispers at caleb:]

Can you, like, make a voice come from over there usin' wizard tricks?
katzepaw: (pearl)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-26 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Hmm. I have a teleportation coupon? I could teleport you to the roof?

[I am not going to allow Caleb to use his teleportation coupon for this.]
sawboned: (pic#14944837)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-07-26 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, then I'd be stuck up there for a real and it wouldn't be a prank, duh! [not that the coupon is important and might be needed tomorrow]

Damn...wish I thought to get one of those water balloons or somethin'....

Oh! D'ya got any more of that sparkle stuff in your pockets??
katzepaw: (drop of water)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-26 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Handing him a fistful of glitter.]

What are you thinking. . .
sawboned: (pic#14944827)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-07-26 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
We reveal ourselves and get him to come over real close, then we make it rain so he gets all sparkly! [it is by no means a complicated plan]
katzepaw: (spider)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-26 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a good plan to me.

[peeking over the edge, he sees Taichi has now wandered to the back between the two dorms and is still looking around: "Where are you? How did you get up there!?"]

Alright, here goes!

[denji pops up and waves at him with his free hand, keeping the other out of sight]

Ta-da! Got ya! I was up here the whole time! Pretty smart, huh?
sawboned: (pic#14944827)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-07-26 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[taichi sees him and wanders over to just below the roof: "Yeah. Totally smart. Seriously what're you doing up there?"

denji calls down, bouncing a bit on his toes excitedly]


Oh, you know, checkin' the weather...

[he smiles at caleb and then drops his big handful of glitter down onto where taichi's standing]

High chance of pretty sparkles!

[ dimitri definitely does not want to be at a party, much less crashing winter festivities, but presumably everyone has been dragged up to the roof. he'll be quiet for the most part, but... ]

...Did you want to throw something over there?
sawboned: (pic#14944833)

[personal profile] sawboned 2021-07-26 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[he seems surprised at A) dimitri making an appearance at a fun thing and B) him offering to participate in a fun thing

he waves for him to get down below the roofline then looks him up and down, as if a general inspecting his troops]


Think ya could throw me over there?
repress: (ju08)

[personal profile] repress 2021-07-26 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ well, he's surprised denji is talking to him normally, so all's fair.

he gives this some thought. ]


...Yes, but that's a terrible idea.

[ denji your BONES ]
