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.

You can dunk on people if you love them. Like, if you asked Jiro how to spell rice he'd spell it with an S, and Saburo spends so much time in front of his computer he's whiter than a Macklemore concert.

Oh, I see!

Like how my brother Berne has no concept of how much a banana costs.

Rich people...

[ can’t relate ] For real?
azuta: (ღ to get knocked off our feet)

He's probably gotten a little better. But the first time he came to visit me after three years, all he did was throw a complain and throw fit until we had to gag him....

[He called me fat? Unforgivable.]

You'd be a good influence on him.

Haha. Maybe.

[ I dunno about that... ]
azuta: (ღ i done got so sick)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-26 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
I know so.

[she's very sure]

Now, Truth or Dare?
steelo: (317)

[personal profile] steelo 2021-07-26 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I did dare, so... truth?
azuta: (ღ i bought it;)

[ oh.. he brightens up a little bit. ]

There's - it's gonna sound silly, but there's a pizza restaurant kinda near where our house is that a family's been working at for forever. Like, as long as I can remember. I like to go over there on my lunch break and hang out and eat.

[ it's this sense of community; this sense of home. that's his favorite thing about ikebukuro division. ]
azuta: (ღ all the honeys)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-26 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[her expression softens at that immediately

That sounds sweet. I want to see it, still.]


... I don't think that sounds silly at all. It's comforting, to see the root that people set down. Will that be one of your first meals once you're back home?

Maybe. Maybe second. [ the smile widens, just a little - his thoughts flash a memory of his brothers in the kitchen, the three of them piled around a sink, just as happy as happy can be. ]

We're gonna cook, first. I just - [ I just want it to be normal. ] ...I'm really looking forward to it.
azuta: (ღ miss on her own)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-07-26 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[she nods in response to that - ]

I have to get a few recipe cards to you, don't I? For some desserts...

But just getting to spend time with them again sounds like fun.
