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.

[After several minutes of this, Rita marches into Room 2, picks up his phone, and slams it into Sieghart's sleeping face.]

[ercnerd]

Ack—

[That jolts him awake. His eyes snap open and his hand clamps over the phone as he snaps upright.]

What are you doing!

[overlimit]

What are you doing!? Answer your phone already, or next time I'll smash it on something harder!

[ercnerd]

My phone?

[He looks down at the device.]

Oh, it's ringing!

[But he does not move to answer it.]

[overlimit]

Yeah, it's ringing! So unlock it and make it stop!

[ercnerd]

Y-yeah . . .

[He manages to unlock the phone with all the finesse of a sleepy senior citizen. The noise stops abruptly.

And then, while the colorful circle spins, his eyelids begin to droop.]

[overlimit]

The dorm heads finally showed up to talk, apparently.

... Or you can go back to sleep, I guess. Your choice.

[ercnerd]

Did they?

[Answering groggily, he brings a hand up to his mouth and swallows a yawn.]

We're supposed to talk to them through this?

[overlimit]

Uh, yeah? [Rita's looking at her own screen, typing away.] Just look at it. There's a messaging system you should have access to.

[ercnerd]

Oh.

[The forum loads. d4rkness? Is that even a word?]

How do I complain?

[overlimit]

[she looks up at the ceiling and sighs. another one of these...]

Ugh. Look, that there's our guy, Chad. So you just press this to reply to his message.

[she'll reach over and press it for him.]

[ercnerd]

[Just then, he lets out a long yawn. He drops his hand once Rita retracts hers and fat-fingers the post button in the middle of adjusting his grip on the phone.

yawn]

What, that's it?

[overlimit]

Yeah, just hit Send when you're done typing or talking or whatever.

... Oh, you already did. Well, like that.

[ercnerd]

Oh, okay. Thanks.

[Drowsily, he trundles his way through the forum when he croaks:]

I'd love to, but I promised Blue that I'd complain.

[overlimit]

[yeah okay, she'll leave him to it, bye]
