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.

Of course I do. Not everyone who's dead wants to look that way. I put a lot of effort into my regimen to look alive.

I see, I see... So you're dead! [ACCEPTING THIS SO QUICKLY. And immediately looking a hundred percent more interested.] No wonder you expected more of us to be the same. It's not every day that the living world and the afterlife seamlessly come together as one, is it?

[maybe some people should follow ichinose's example, huh lux???

Manwol looks briefly surprised that Ichinose got it so quickly, wow]

Exactly. None of you should be able to see me, unless. Well. I guess this counts as an extraordinary circumstance, but it doesn’t feel urgent enough to be... apocalyptic or anything.

Maybe not the apocalypse. But clearly something huge must be happening to bring a motley crew like this together. [Gestures. At these Fall Dorm binches.] Looks like these Dorm Wars are serious business.

[Manwol looks at these Fall Dorm Binches, then at Ichinose.]

Are you worried?

[because she doesn't seem to be tbh??]

[txt]

Hm? [A beat.] O-Oh, yeah. Of course... I guess I'm just processing.

[It's fine.]

[IS IT???

Manwol pours Ichinose a glass of iced tea and moves it towards her.]

Here, drink this. Sugar always helps.
