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]

[Saturday evening, Sieghart reclines in a couch with his sword propped within arm's reach against the wall. Seemingly in the midst of a quick shut-eye, his eyes slide open after another alleged student enters. He lifts his head.]

Hm? This is the most people I've seen in here yet. Should we take this time to introduce ourselves?

[goalsides]

[well first of all, taichi's been in and out of the dorm pretty much since they all arrived so it's not a surprise he hasn't even met the other half. on second thought, he's standing almost in the doorway of the common room trying to figure out how he missed someone with a giant sword. sorry to everyone else in the room, he's squinting.]

Wanna go first? [it's not even confrontational, he would just like to know what the hell.]

[ercnerd]

[He all but preens at the attention on him as he sits up.]

Kanavan's legendary gladiator, Ercnard Sieghart. Call me Sieghart.

[goalsides]

Legendary...gladiator? [what the.] Like a professional fighter?

[taichi has suddenly lost the point of introducing himself jae i'm turning this into making sieg talk about himself gomen.]

[overlimit]

[Rita walks in from the specialty room, from which she's obtained a cup of coffee. It gives off a sweet, syrupy smell, having been sweetened to hell to suit her tastes. She looks a little surprised at seeing a group together.]

... Guess it won't hurt. [she takes a sip of her concoction.]

Rita Mordio. I'm a scholar. My specialties are magic and technology.

[ercnerd]

[Wow. That's awfully sweet.]

That's a classic combination if I ever heard one. It's always the small ones, too.

[overlimit]

Small...?

Hey! Don't even think about getting on my bad side.

[goalsides]

[yes, yes, nice to actually learn your name, rita. he should've asked a while ago but it's fine, they fixed it! instead he's staring at the cup in her hand.]

What'd you make?

[overlimit]

[imagine sharing names like a normal person]

Coffee.

[duh.]

It was bitter, so I used some of the flavor syrups in there.

[godcards]

My name is Malik.

[ yeah that's it, no fanfare no nothin ]

[ercnerd]

That's it? Where's the fun fact?

[godcards]

[ he stares at sieg for a second, like, 'do i have to' but you know what it's fine ]

I don't have a fun fact to share.

[headmt]

[Hm? Just chilling on one of the chairs, which he is not sitting in properly at all. Just like, fully sideways, legs over the arm of it, tail flicking occasionally and idly flipping through his tarot deck. He looks up at the comment though.]

Ah-- introductions? Alright. Prince Levine Astelo, Heir to the throne of Marquet.

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart gives him a faintly curious look.]

That doesn't sound like a Demon World name. What are you supposed to be, then?

[headmt]

[He was all easy-going and relaxed a hot second ago but his expression goes a little tight at demon world.]

Oh for fuck's sake. Likely because I'm not a-- [No, nope, cutting himself off.] My father was a minotaur, and my mother was a drow.

[ambiography]

-well, I don't see why not.

[she sets her notes aside, for now.]

You can call me the Director.

[this will last all of, like, two days before profiles doxx her but it's Fine.]

[ercnerd]

Hey, Director. That was pretty frank. Is there anything else you'd like to share?

[ambiography]

I would go with 'businesslike'.

[let her live.]

But I suppose that depends on what you want to know.

[overlimit]

Director of what?

[ambiography]

[well. she has no idea if the name will just come out as static if she says it, so:]

An organization that has been working to remove the largest dangers our world faces.

[shaft]

The Director? That's awfully impersonal, isn't it?

[modissty]

[IT'S HIS WEIRD COLLECTION OF ROOMIES YEAAAH. Sakyou, who'd been sitting primly and writing something down somewhere, looks up as introductions start. Might as well... With a polite inclination of his head:]

--My name is Sagihara Sakyou; I'm a ronin from Hinomoto.

[Who here will even understand literally any of this. He also has a sword by his side, though! It's unfortunately not his enormous 4'6" one so he can't match Sieghart. Tragic.]

[overlimit]

[rita looks over from where she's sitting with a cup of sweetened coffee in hand.]

A ronin...? What's that?

[goalsides]

[i'm double-commenting for my own intro my b. anyway eventually taichi stops bullying sieghart and he'll stay leaning against the wall to introduce himself.]

Taichi Yagami. [western order because he's well aware most of the people in this room are not japanese.] I think I might be the only one in this dorm who's experienced something like this before?

[shrug. good evening folks.]

[godcards]

[ nani the fuck ]

That seems like rather pertinent information to elaborate on.
