dormheads | FALL COMMON ROOM

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.

[ lux is sitting on a couch and casually re-bandaging a big cut on her arm! gotta do it sometime. no she never got healed after being stabbed in tuesday's cyoa. it's fine. ]

It's hard to predict what comes next.

[i'm crying, lux, get your arm fixed...]

All those edits should take place. End of the year 'nd all.

[ it's fine ]

Even if we adhere to an outline, the details are a mystery. Not sure if I should be excited to see them or not.

Long as I get home, and my wish worked I'm satisfied.

Visitin' each other's a plus. But those are the things 'm most concerned about.

I'm only concerned with getting home.

No wishes fer ya?

I have a wish. But I'm still figuring out the scale of it.

What is it?

For Demacia to accept mages. The immediate disbandment of the Mageseekers, and an end to all laws against them.

[ ... ]

But it feels so vast. And I wonder if it's a wish that could be sent into the past - even if only a short time back. Or farther back? But then I don't know how that might impact things.

And at the same time, that wish feels too small. If I am freeing one people from suffering, could I not wish for something more grand to help more people?

[ lux: how do you wish for peace for one group and not feel guilty for wishing for World Peace For Everyone Forever? ]

Looks like you've found some resolve.

[He lightly flicks her on the forehead.]

Be selfish. Demacia's your home, ain't it? Then make it the way you want.

[ she frowns and swats his hand, but doesn't seem too bothered. ]

Does it count as resolve to magically wish away your problem rather than facing the world as it is?

And - what of the people who hold fear and hatred so close to their hearts? Would it be mind control to cleanse them of it?

[ she has a lot of questions and no real reason to filter them! ]

If you know what ya want, just get it. People are afraid of things that are different from 'em. Power, people, doesn't matter. What's strange could be dangerous.

Do ya really think they're better off fearing and hating magic?

[Since it's near the end, and he's already died for it-]

I'm gonna make sure we never have to fight the Great Calamity again.

[ you know what, she's happy to just shift focus. ]

Ensuring that it doesn't return again sounds like a wonderful wish.

[Oh. She just dodged her problems, didn't she?

He looks a little amused.]

[ it's fine! ]

[ I do think their world similarities are funny and if I don't get at least the vague imagery of closure before I end this game between these two I think I'll die instead so like, later, after she's had her convo with Bradley and if she's near -- ]

Your world doesn't accept mages?

[ oh, awk....... she hasn't really talked to him since he came back... but she gives him a small smile! ]

Mm. Where I'm from, magic is considered 'evil.'

Which it isn't.

[ Hmm. ]

Yeah. So you've heard half the story and all, but it's pretty much the same in Hole. There used to be an entire militia dedicated to taking them out, until one half-mage pretty much wiped out their entire deal.

Not all Sorcerers are evil, though.
