FALL COMMON ROOM - WEEK 0

[dormheads]

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.

[ guess who had a massive panic attack upon waking up in strange place with strange people?? Iiiiiiiit's Futaba! Since her lucky person charm is currently unavailable, she's planted on her thankfully present daruma mask to at least Vibe In The Same Room with everyone. (the brownies definitely helped.) this, however, does not stop her from smacking the general area of her nose with a finger. ]

Not it!

[illuminance]

[ that's. well, that sure is a mask? but some people just wear masks, so okay! ]

Even a nickname would suffice. We'll want to be able to refer to each other, right?

[alitaba]

[ sometimes instead of a safety blanket, you have a safety head. ]

..................Futaba works.

[illuminance]

[ lux gives her a smile! ]

It's nice to meet you, Futaba. I'm Luxanna Crownguard. But you can call me Lux, if you'd like.

[alitaba]

Lux-chan. ....I-it's nice to meet you.

[ her head wobbles like she's bobbing her head underneath there. at least she remembers her manners!!!! not that it at all helps move the conversation along ]

[selfestheim]

[ yo what the fuck is THAT ]

[alitaba]

[ THE COOLEST NEW HEAD ACCESSORY OF MODERN TIMES? GOSH, GET WITH IT HOPE. it bobs at him. she might be sticking her tongue out under there ]

[selfestheim]

[ he can't tell!! he will continue to stare dubiously!! ]

Uh, he...llo?

just mutely staring with this face]

[alitaba]

[ has no one ever seen a daruma mask before???? ]

[txt]

[well,

it's more that—]

... Futaba-chan...?

[alitaba]

[ that gets her to lift the head a little to blink big eyes at her ]

....Who..?

[ so on a scale of Oh N to strange danger, how fast will she start scuttling away in the next thirty seconds ]

[ghoststrums]

[ uh... ]

[alitaba]

[ yEA? ]

[ghoststrums]

[ at least it's obviously a mask so he doesn't have to think that's her real head, but... ]

Why... are you wearing that?

[alitaba]

Hiding.

[ duh?? why else would she wear it?? ]

[headsplitter]

[ Mask buddies. ]

What's that, your 'mask'? Pretty crazy-lookin'.

[alitaba]

[ mask buddies!! ]

Yeah..! It's my protection charm.

[headsplitter]

Protection charm? Is that a thing? With most Sorcerers it's just like, uniform or to make their powers stronger, innit? You a Sorcerer?

[alitaba]

[ she tilts her head. the whole thing wobbles precariously ]

Nnnnnnnnot Really? It adds +10 to my DEF and DEX though.

[katzepaw]

[He glances at this girl hiding under the mask. He has kind of the hunched posture and caution at eye contact of a fairly shy person himself. He seems to look at her, assessing, for a long moment before speaking.]

Sure, maybe after some other introductions. Do you like cats?

[alitaba]

[ this immediately gets her attention. good job strange hobo man ]

I love cats........! My big bro has one!

[katzepaw]

[He's not really a hobo man; he's dressed for what looks like an outdoor camping expedition, but he's clean and put together. But the orange bengal cat around his neck, at her explanation, jumps down and runs over into her lap, acting cute and friendly like he wants to be pet.]

[alitaba]

[ anyone over 20 is a strange (hobo) man tbh. especially the ones who look like they're... outdoors people. but who cares!! there's a(nother) cat!!! this is the best day ever- ]

A kitty.....!!

[ hello, kitty ]
