FALL COMMON ROOM - WEEK 6


common room.


The common room of the Fall Dorm has soft, dimmer lighting; plush carpet over wood; and several comfortable chairs and sectionals. A few big windows overlook the dormitory area of campus, but there is also a single, cozy bay window on one side.

A television and bluetooth surround-sound are here for Fall students who are more inclined to be tech savvy. In the cabinets under the entertainment stand are an assortment of board games, but the television does have a generic "free tv" app for shows and music.

Above the enormous center fireplace is a moody painting.

This week, there's something else.

specialty room.


Through a door on the first floor, there is an antigravity room. Stepping just a few feet through the doorway will lift everyone up into the air. The seating and most of the rest of the room remains somehow rightfully in place on the floor and will not move. Students, however, can grab pillows and blankets, cups or bowls, or other small items to bring into the air with them.




Please use this as an open post for members of Fall 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.

[har har so funny.]

Something like that.

Stay down here for now, until we all pass out.

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-23 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I had planned on it.

[Awkwardly glances in Yamato and Taichi's direction, though.]

I'll... watch by the door. To make sure nothing goes in or out. While I can, I guess.

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, if you want.

...'while you can'?
darksubverted: (Riku (467))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-23 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I mean, before all of us pass out. Weird, but... whatever, I guess.
silentscout: (103)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
...mmm.

[If Luku wants to stand by the door he can. Lalli will come hang out with him too, for a while.]

...did you ever hear about the paopu fruit?
darksubverted: (Riku (473))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-23 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He will vibe by the door for a while, yeah.]

Paopu fruit...?
silentscout: (79)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Mhmm. I head that if you share one with someone, your lives will be tied together forever.

What do you think about that?

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-23 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[At first, he looks kind of typically perplexed. Sounds st... starts and dies off, and then ?? kinda.

Sounds... familiar...?

He looks away, but mostly through everyone else when his eyes scan the room, brows furrowing.]


I... don't know. Kind of cheesy... Who even told you that?
silentscout: (12)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
A friend did. I saw his memory of him teasing someone from his home world with one. Someone with spiky brown hair and blue eyes and a bright smile. Someone who my friend misses, I think.

[He's silently hoping Riku remembers.]

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-23 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[me: very funny he will be stuck as luke all night
you: slaps my legs out from under me with something new]


Huh.

[He lets his head tip back and rest on the wall by the door. Why does that sound so... familiar? Someone with spiky brown hair and blue eyes and a bright smile... Weird.

When he glances down again, his eyes idly land on Yamato and Taichi. Someone... with spiky brown hair... Behind his eyes, a headache forms. Who... does he know like that? S...? The pain splits through his temples, and he raises a hand to hold his face.

Who would tease... a blockhead... with a fruit...?]
silentscout: (79)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[YEAH. WHO WOULD DO THAT, HUH?

The signs of those headaches are familiar by now, so Lalli is quick to reach over to steady Riku. No hitting heads on a fall!

But he says nothing further for the moment, he's waiting to see if it works or not. And to help Riku to the ground if he passes out.

...Lalli is a twig but he will still Try.

[For some reason, his throat is dry. He keeps repeating it in his head, like a mantra. Someone with spiky brown hair and blue eyes and a bright smile, someone with spiky brown hair and blue eyes and a bright smile, someone with spiky brown hair and blue eyes and a bright smile.

Someone with spiky brown hair and blue eyes and a bright smile.


Who is that? Who is it? The hand over his face lowers, and he squeezes the place over his heart with his fingers. Someone important... Don't forget. Someone... they missed... Someone he missed? The name is right there, slipping through his fingers.

He can't grab it.]


Who...?
silentscout: (21)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. He can guess what's going on in Riku's mind, so he'll supply that name.]

...Sora?
darksubverted: (Riku (26))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-23 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Sora?

[It... Sora. It does... sound familiar, too. Sora. Like he's said it most of his life. Right. Right.

He... liked Kairi... so I... what? I... teased Sora about it. With the paopu fruit... He wanted to... try it... because he believes in... all that stuff.

Is that right?
]


No, I'm...

[He scrabbles at the wall as he jerks away like he might launch himself out of the door and book it. But he runs into the door with a shoulder, and grabs onto it to to hold himself in place. Wow! He doesn't fall down! He lifts his head, breath labored.]
silentscout: (127)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait-

[Oh but he's not actually running, he's just crashing into a door and looks like absolute shit

He doesn't reach out again but he's hovering nervously now, his worry coming across clearly.

Please be alright, don't hurt yourself, come back-
]

Just think on it, you know the answer already!

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-23 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He leans his head back and squeezes his eyes shut. Something seems to battle within him.

Sora. I am... not... this person. A paopu fruit... links your destinies... together.

His eyes open. Right now he doesn't worry about it, but he's real glad he didn't fall on the floor in front of everyone. Why does he sound like he just did a triathlon?!]


...I'm... Riku. That's who I am.
silentscout: (21)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[The relief in Lalli is instant.]

Yes, that's right. You're Riku.

[It's getting harder to bring them back...]
darksubverted: (Riku (445))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-23 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He murmurs it, like he's making it real. "I'm Riku." There's a quiet sigh. He glances at Lalli, but won't look behind him at the room.

He's embarrassed. And also won't acknowledge that thought because he'd have to admit it's true.]


...I'm okay.

[But he does try to go out the door so he can stand on the other side of it and hide for a bit.]
silentscout: (20)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-23 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...okay. Good.

[Lalli lets him go for now, but he gets 10 minutes to be embarrassed by himself before Lalli is bringing him food to eat.]

[He 100% takes the whole ten minutes to keep sitting outside in embarrassment and frustration.

But he does glance up when Lalli comes out.]
silentscout: (20)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-24 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He sits down next to Riku and offers him a pocket cookie.]

It's okay.
darksubverted: (Riku (546))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-24 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[He takes the offered cookie, but doesn't eat it right yet.]

Not really, but... I get it.
silentscout: (46)

[personal profile] silentscout 2021-07-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
It's not great, but it's not bad either. 'Okay'. Somewhere between good and bad.
darksubverted: (Riku (455))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-07-24 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
The middle path, huh?

[He peers at the cookie, twirling it a little between his fingers.]

Like a road to the dawn.
