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.

Ohhh. -- What?! Like more time before they react to kill me or somethin'?! People are so rude these days, my outer face says nothing about my character!

[alitaba]

People who judge on appearances are the worse! [ she would know ] But yeah! It gives you a boost before people start making assumptions. More time to decide if you need something drastic.

[ like throw a smoke bomb! or curl up into a pillbug and roll like a bowling ball. ]

[headsplitter]

Ohh, yeah! Then that sounds perfect for me!

[ HE'S TOTALLY ON BOARD. ]

A lot of humans get weirded out when they see my head, so! The mask helps me blend in. Not like I care but it keeps people from gawkin'.

[alitaba]

Glad to help! [ she is, however, insanely curious now ] You've really got it rough though, huh?


[ what's the least awk way to say I'll show you mine if you show me yours? hm ]

[headsplitter]

Yeah... some asshole turned my head into a lizard with magic so I'm tryn'a figure it out. Asked a lot of people at this school and nobody knows anything! Most people don't even know what the hell I'm talking about when I say 'Magic User'!

[ The mystery deepens?! ]

[alitaba]

A Lizard......?

[ !!!! ]

CAN I SEE?

[ futaba, ]

[headsplitter]

Gah! I guess, it's stupid though!

[ And he takes off his mask, and. Yeah. He was 100% real about saying it was a lizard head...

Clearly not a mask on mask situation either, given it does expressions and stuff, wow! ]

[alitaba]

[ holy shit ]

Oh wow-

[ can she
pat his head ]

[headsplitter]

[ She can try, but let's see if Caiman will be nice. ]

Hey! I'm not a dog!

[alitaba]

You're like a real comic book character! Tokage Man!

[ she's absolutely delighted either way ]

[headsplitter]

T-tokage Man?! I guess that's not wrong but that sounds lame! I already have a -man name, it's Caiman!

[alitaba]

[ she's just striking sentai poses now. hwah!! hywah!!!!! ]

It can be your secret disguise name! Everyone needs one of those!!

[headsplitter]

C-callin' me 'Lizard Man' isn't really gonna be a 'disguise', is it?! Since it's what I am?!

[ Dorohedoro is weird and Caiman dubiously knows Japanese maybe...? ]

[alitaba]

[ she raises her brows ]

And calling Featherman Red isn't the same? It just makes you identifiable! Unless you want a really dumb superhero name like.... Scales! or something.

[headsplitter]

Who's Featherman?! And no, I don't wanna be called Scales! Stupid Vaux thought that would be a good name for be before Caiman but it's not, it's dumb and unflattering!

[alitaba]

Super Sentai Featherman Red, in action! [ she poses ] They're a superhero team on tv. But this means you should come up with a super awesome one instead. Everyone should have a backup hero name. You never know when you need it!

[headsplitter]

[ Oh shit her badass pose. He is sufficiently between thinking it's stupid and being cowed. ]

They call me Mage Killer, does that count?

[ DEFINITELY NOT A HERO NAME DEFINITELY NOT A HERO NAME ]

[alitaba]

I guess that sounds better than Mage Eater...

[ fUTABA THAT'S NOT HELPING ]

[headsplitter]

I don't eat 'em!! Damn, you bite people once gently on the noggin and everyone suddenly thinks you're a cannibal!

[alitaba]

It's definitely the teeth.

[ area man looks like a walking florida man after all ]

[headsplitter]

[ Caiman is definitely a Florida Man. Gator included. ]

They're just a consequence of my head! I'll have normal people teeth once I get my real head back!

[alitaba]

[ all strange activity now starts with Cai Man ]

Man, what did you even do to lose your head? Poke something you shouldn't? Eat a cake that said, "Eat Me?"

[headsplitter]

[ Local Cai Man found stuck in a fence after running from authorities due to mass gyoza theft ]

I dunno! Actually! I don't remember.

[lifeless]

[can manwol snap a picture of him]

[headsplitter]

[ yes ]
