SPRINGLE - WEEK 7

[dormheads]

common room.

In the common room, the walls have been painted with photo-like pictures of forests and lakes, and spread across the ceiling is a depiction of the night sky. One wall is lined with bookcases, the books ranging from fiction to non-fiction as well used course textbooks. More bookcases have been used to section off one corner for a study area, with a desk and chair provided.

Elsewhere, there are a few couches (one looks as though it doesn't quite belong) and chairs, most seated around a coffee table and with throw blankets tossed over them if you need the extra warmth. On the table is a bowl of healthy and semi-healthy snacks, regularly stocked. (Nearby is a garbage can.)

This week, there's something.

specialty room.

Past an entrance in the common room, a mini coffeehouse has been set up, with express machines for those who just want their coffee now and slightly more advanced equipment for aficionados. It offers a variety of strength levels and flavors to accommodate tastes all across the spectrum, along with a teapot and packets of caffeinated and non-caffeinated tea for those who prefer a different drink. There's a sink if you want to use your own mug, but otherwise, disposable cups are provided for you to use.

Pasted on the wall by the coffee machines is a detailed but clear handwritten guide on how to use said machines, complete with illustrations. There are also cute little doodles of Spring Dorm residents using the machines and drinking coffee, though they look as though they were done by someone else.

[rita makes it back to the dorm. she's not looking great? while there are no visible injuries, she's moving slowly and she's pretty clearly exhausted and in pain.

and she's somehow even more tired when she walks in on this.]

Why.

[she hates this family sometimes.]

[godcards]

[ he wheels around to face rita ]

Because he deserves it!

[ talk about family, you didn't have sieghart as your deadbeat dad ]

[overlimit]

Oh, my god.

[EXHAUSTING.]

Do we still have painkillers around here?

[ercnerd]

What happened to you?

[overlimit]

Crashed a spaceship.

Then got struck by lightning. Again.

[ercnerd]

Whoa . . . I don't envy you.

[overlimit]

It's been that kind of week.

What the hell were you guys doing? [leaning on the back of a couch, looking between sieghart, malik, and... lucretia? lucretia looks like she's seen some bullshit.]

[ercnerd]

[He glances at Malik and Lucretia.]

We went to the North. Those two ended up assigned and turning against me and Lila, so I transformed him into a mouse.

[overlimit]

"Assigned"? Like the dorm heads?

[ercnerd]

[He nods.]

We found a pen with red ink. It let us strike out and change everyone's assignments.

[overlimit]

A pen...!? Do you still have it?

[ercnerd]

Lila's holding onto it.

Did your group find anything?

[overlimit]

[damn. rita definitely wanted to grab it and try it out.]

... We found Riku.

We tried to save him, but... we couldn't bring all of him back.

[ercnerd]

What do you mean?

[feytality]

[ maya is also injured and exhausted but ]

Are you okay, Rita?

[overlimit]

Y, yeah. Took a bit of a beating, but you know. Takes more than that to keep me down.

What about you? [looking. can she see what the injuries are!] You all right?

[feytality]

[ there's a stab wound thru her back (close to her side) and her face is scratched up ]

[ also she is just very tired ]

Yeah, just.... it was a lot.

What happened with you? Did you kick a lot of butt?

[overlimit]

[concern...]

I guess I did. Got to pilot a spacecraft. We fought an enemy ship and blasted it to smithereens.

[feytality]

[ her eyes do sparkle a lil ]

That sounds fun!

I guess you're getting all sorts of driving practice, huh?

[overlimit]

[it was probably actually the most fun rita's had here.]

Huh? I suppose. Maybe it's a good thing that I had the practice. There were a lot of lasers to dodge.

... Until we got sucked into a vortex and crashed. Which was not my fault.

[feytality]

[ rita has done nothing wrong ever in her life ]

That musta been exciting.....

Well, not the crash. Why were there vortexes in space, anyway?

[ gosh ]

[overlimit]

I don't know, our... navigators [hesitant] told us to go through this corridor, to find the "world at the end of the world," or something...

So we could get to where Riku was.

[feytality]

[ chip n dale... ]

....

Did you find Riku?

[overlimit]

... Yeah...


His "heart" found its way to us, and anchored itself to Yamato. But we ended up having to fight the thing possessing his body, and...

... Sorry. We couldn't bring him back whole.

[feytality]

[ ..... ]

But you brought.... some of him back?
