SPRINGLE - WEEK 0

[dormheads]

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.

Please use this as an open post for members of Spring 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.

Common Room

[ercnerd]

[After the dreadful click sounds, Sieghart's expression twists. He makes a beeline for the entrance, but no amount of jiggling the lock gets the door to give.

He turns around to face everyone who's present, looking his most furious to date.]

What's going on?

[branches]

[Tsuyukusa hadn't thought anything of drifting back to the dorm, he was just sitting on one of the couches, with his dirty bare feet up on the cushions. But he also looks up at the sound.]

Did someone lock the door?

[overlimit]

[Rita was just sitting on a chair with Suite 1's laptop, engrossed in whatever she's doing on it and not really noticing anyone else in the room. It's only now that she looks up and for the first time, notices Tsuyukusa's existence.]

--Hey, watch where you put your gross feet, you...!

[oh something else is going on]

Wait, it's not opening!?

[branches]

[No it's time to derail everything and start a fight.]

What's gross about my feet!?
[HOW DARE YOU?]

[goalsides]

[you know who isn't thrilled with being locked in? taichi. it means that while sieghart's working on the door, he's checking to see if he can pry a window open.]

Lockdown. [who the fuck authorized this?] But why?

[ercnerd]

[No fists were harmed against the door this night.]

I knew there was something off about this place! What's going on outside?

[goalsides]

[rattling the window? hello? HELLO??? but it takes him a moment to register the question and peer outside.]

...nothing. I don't see anything but the entry and stuff.

[feytality]

[ a little later maya's drifting over to him. she taps his arm, then quietly: ]

Did anything like this ever happen to you before?

[goalsides]

[he's still staring at the door at this point, occasionally trying the doorknob as if that'll magically work. but maya speaks and he jumps slightly, glancing at her for a moment.]

Not exactly like this. [just as quietly.] A little different.

[but similar enough that he's not thrilled and he's a little more than on-edge. nevertheless he looks away from the door to face her.]

You okay?

[headmt]

[He'd just been chillin', but once the panicking starts he sits up - looking at the door that definitely isn't opening, and then down at his hands where his phone was and--]

The. Thing-- ? Fuck, whatever it's called, it isn't working either.

[shaft]

[ Claude has also been checking his phone, but with it out of commission, he's tapping at the windows instead. ]

And they said there's no magic here. Do you think trying to break the windows or door will yield any results?

[headmt]

Fuckin' shite--

[Irritated now, shoving his stupid useless phone in his pocket and going over to join the crew that's like. Window testing. He just presses on the glass at first. Like that's gonna help.]

Got anything to throw through it? Something heavy.

[modissty]

[BINCH HE HATES THIS EVIL WITCHCRAFT FROM THE FUTURE.

Anyway while everyone else is off throwing tables and potentially getting bearnapped on the third floor, Sakyou's going to try stabbing literally every available window with increasing vigor. Like, not through the glass, but attempting to get between the cracks so he can jimmy it. Obviously this is not going to work but he's so determined, god bless.

Actually at some point he might get frustrated and just yell and strike the glass itself but it's fine.]

[ambiography]

-Sagihara.

[she sounds tense, because guess who ALSO HATES THIS, but she gets his attention first before stepping any closer; he'll get a hand set on his shoulder from where he can, you know, see it, she's not out to surprise an upset guy with a sword from behind.]

I get it, I do, but- I don't think that's going to work.

[goalsides]

[at some point after returning from upstairs with sieg, he will notice sakyou steadily working on the windows.]

Any luck?

[feytality]

[ a bit later bc she's busy doing her own desperate escape attempts -- ]

It's no good. We really are.. trapped here.

[feytality]

[ maya spends a good amount of time trying to unlock the door by using folded up paper and the like, and then when it doesn't work, she starts rummaging through literally everything as if looking for clues ]

[ she's very tense and muttering under her breath to herself ]

Okay, there's gotta be clues around.... stay positive, Maya... you're not by yourself... We can't all die...

[shaft]

[ Maya looks definitely Not Okay, so Claude's going to make his way over to her, standing cautiously beside her. ]

What are you looking for?

[headmt]

[oh boy!!!! Stressed out kids up in this place. Coming over to pat her on the back at some point, maybe trying to direct her to sit down, maybe?]

No one's gonna die, no one's gonna die.

[ercnerd]

[After tucking Malik away for the night, Sieghart descends the stairs and heads straight for Maya.]

Are you done milling about?

[godcards]

[ so you know that community gif where troy walks in with pizza and everything is on fire

yeah so this is basically that but it's ok. everything is fine. malik is calm. very calm.

it's ok.

which is why after watching multiple failed attempts to escape he just. quietly sits down in a corner and puts his head on his knees.

IT'S OKAY IT'S FINE EVERYTHING IS. FINE. ]

[ercnerd]

[Well, doesn't he just look peachy? Once Sieghart has returned from upstairs and taken stock of the room, he strides over to Malik.]

Hey, kid. Are you hurting anywhere?

[feytality]

[ at some point she is just going to go sit down semi-close by ]

[overlimit]

[Since others are doing plenty of freaking out and smashing things, Rita's managed to stay relatively calm despite kicking off the hour with a dumb babyfight.]

So what the heck was that noise earlier? It sounded like it came from above, so if it wasn't any of you clowns, then it must've been...

[feytality]

[ well maya is still pretty tense, but ]

... I hope the dorm heads are okay ...
