SPRINGLE - WEEK 0

common room.

In the common room, the walls have been painted with photo-like pictures of forests and lakes, and spread across the ceiling is a depiction of the night sky. One wall is lined with bookcases, the books ranging from fiction to non-fiction as well used course textbooks. More bookcases have been used to section off one corner for a study area, with a desk and chair provided.

Elsewhere, there are a few couches and chairs, most seated around a coffee table and with throw blankets tossed over them if you need the extra warmth. On the table is a bowl of healthy and semi-healthy snacks, regularly stocked. (Nearby is a garbage can.)

This week, there is a welcome basket near the bowl.

specialty room.

Past an entrance in the common room, a mini coffeehouse has been set up, with express machines for those who just want their coffee now and slightly more advanced equipment for aficionados. It offers a variety of strength levels and flavors to accommodate tastes all across the spectrum, along with a teapot and packets of caffeinated and non-caffeinated tea for those who prefer a different drink. There's a sink if you want to use your own mug, but otherwise, disposable cups are provided for you to use.

[A COMRADE... Sakyou's expression softens a little, since he can more or less pick up on what a similarity like that means.]

It's a little bit strange to adjust to others when you're used to passing the time alone, isn't it? Noisy and messy - but not a terrible thing.

[He says this, blissfully unaware that Rita started her stay by decking Molly. NOISY AND MESSY INDEED.]

[overlimit]

[it's fine. probably.]

... Yeah.

They're annoying, usually, but there's upsides, too.

[modissty]

[Yeah... Yeah. That sure sounds like something he can understand.]

There are, certainly. [Like not being a lonely nerd anymore.] Have you done a lot of traveling yourself, then?

[overlimit]

Yeah. Especially over the past year. I think I've been to just about every corner of the world, now.

[modissty]

[This is wild news for someone who's a traveler but like, in normal ronin terms of the word.]

How impressive... You must be constantly busy and on the move, then.

[overlimit]

For a while I was, yeah. Now I'm back to spending most of my time in one place... though I'm not any less busy. Just the opposite, really.

[modissty]

Ah... Well, I can understand that. Sometimes, the place that demands the most attention and time is the one right under your nose.

[Usually because it's filled with punks who need all the help they can GET.]

[overlimit]

Something like that.

What about you? Got some place you'd like to return to now and then?

[modissty]

[A brief beat of silence, before he nods.]

I haven't been able to return to my home province in some time. I would like to revisit someday, but it simply isn't possible as things are.

[He doesn't sound too fussed about it though, honestly.]
