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.

Come on, now. What more could they gain from this?

[ghoststrums]

What were they gaining from it in the first place? That's the question we should be asking.

Hmm... [Sniffs.] Have you come up with any theories, Ishida-kun?

[ghoststrums]

No. But if we were specifically selected for this, there's got to be a reason for it.

What about... human experimentation? Wouldn't that be crazy?

[ghoststrums]

No... I don't think that fits. Not all of us are human, for one.

[txt]

Right, right... Semantics. What else?

[ghoststrums]

... I don't know. Something like this usually means there's something we were brought here for that only we could do.

[Something about that makes her laugh— which dissolves into a brief coughing fit. Oops? She covers her mouth with her arm, at least.]

... What? Like we're the chosen ones?

[ghoststrums]

[ ... looks away in chosen oneitis ]

Sort of.

Sort of?

It's not as simple as being able to do something because you were chosen to do it.
