FALL COMMON ROOM - WEEK 0


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.

On one of the tables is a welcome basket.

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.

[ sadly, despite best efforts, hope is very clearly freaking out right now! it was apparent as they were compelled to return that he wasn't taking it well, trying his best to fight the urge but being forced to obey. when the doors lock closed, he collapses into a chair in the common room and curls almost entirely into a ball, covering his head in his arms. even with his expression hidden between his hands, his voice is clearly wracked with anxiety. he's mostly stuck like this until a thing happens, at which point he looks up with utter panic in his eyes. ]

No.... no. This can't be happening. Was it really all a trap this entire time? What's going on?

[ lux will come stand near the chair he's claimed, just kind of... hovering nearby, since she's not really sure how else to comfort him. ]

It's likely just a curfew. Some people have been sleeping outside their rooms, haven't they? No school would allow that for long.

Then– why weren't there any announcements? Why were we forced to come back here?

[personal profile] illuminance 2021-06-11 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Because this place operates in strange ways.

[ which. she realizes isn't comforting. ]

I'll look after you.

[ words have power; in lux's case, that power is both a comfort and a burden. there's a small twitch in his expression before he twists his face into something he hopes resembles a calmer attitude. ]

I don't– you don't need to look after me. I'm not helpless.

Whether you are or aren't, it's my duty to protect others.

[ which she is, admittedly, mostly just phrasing that way in hopes that he'll accept it without fuss. ]

[Frumpkin will come hang out on his lap and cuddle for a while during the earlier part of the night. But when he starts melting down, in addition to cat - ]

We don't know yet. Hard to say.

[ oh...catte helps a little! but not even a snuggly frumpkin can calm hope down. :( he looks up at caleb from where he's sitting, brows deeply furrowed. ]

So that's it? We just have to sit here and wait to see what happens?
katzepaw: (eyelash)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-11 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
I think so. It doesn't seem as though we can break out. But we are about as safe as we can be in here, all together.

It's not ideal, but nothing to be done about it until morning.

[ yamato wasn't that far considering the baby is having a crisis, but he's coming over quick when hope starts freaking out. he doesn't really hesitate to perch on the armchair too so he can put an arm around hope. sorry if you're not a touchy person hope you have big takeru vibes ]

Maybe. We don't know yet. But whatever happens, you're not alone, alright? We're here with you. We'll face it together.

[personal profile] selfestheim 2021-06-11 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ big bro......... he admittedly still looks like he's ready to straight up jump out of his skin, but yamato's insistence and emphasis on not facing whatever lies ahead alone brings a sense of calm to him that nobody else so far has managed. ]

But how can we face it if we don't even know what it is?
ghoststrums: (for reality yes in the end)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-11 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
It won't be easy. [ it's sincere? maybe too much so, but he's never been in the habit of lying to people to reassure them. and has caused a child to cry from it it's fine ] But I've faced the unknown before. So long as we stick together, we'll figure it out. Even if it's just because we have to.

[ ...and in contrast to his reaction to yamato, caiman's suggestion is met with a sudden outburst of anger as he gets into his feet. the gesture might be more intimidating if he was a little taller, perhaps, but give the kid a break? ]

Seriously? You're expecting me to just sleep it off right now?

[ This is very valid. Unfortunately it plinks off of him like a thrown BB pellet. ]

Yeah? What else are ya gonna do? The doors won't open!

I–

[ give him a second. he had only really said that because it's what lightning would have said, it's something she's definitely said in that past, and hope had simply parroted what he aspired to emulate in his emotional lapse. but he's just now realized he doesn't have a damn clue what he's talking about. ]

...Anything out of the ordinary, I guess.
