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.

Well enough. It's not where I shine brightest, but I can use a sword or a crossbow well enough.

Not that I have either available to me.

[katzepaw]

You are doing better than I am. I am a spellcaster, no good with anything else in a fight, and . . .

[He shrugs.]

Maybe you've noticed.

[illuminance]

[ lux... pauses. ]

... I see.

It seems to be somewhat common, among us. [ and she glances over in bradley's direction. he's a wizard! ]

[katzepaw]

Maybe not so surprising, if their tools are this effective on magic.

[illuminance]

I'm not accustomed to it.

[katzepaw]

To magic? Or to their being able to suppress magic?

[illuminance]

To both, I suppose. I...

It's being suppressed? [ she hadn't been aware that was happening. hm. hm! this sucks!! ]

[katzepaw]

Nothing is working, no. It's a pretty predicament we find ourselves in.

[illuminance]

The pretty looks of this place are deceptive.

Why let some keep their weapons, and take the magic from others?

[katzepaw]

Well, they may have let some keep their weapons, but that doesn't mean their weapons will be useful against whatever brought us here. Plenty of ways to make non-magical weapons ineffective, but spells are tricky and unpredictable.

[illuminance]

The same reasoning...

[ ... ]

Useful or not, I would have preferred to have a weapon. But I wasn't so lucky.
