SUMMER COMMON ROOM - WEEK 0

[dormheads]

common room.

The common room is as bright and open as the rest of the dorm. Beanbag chairs and even more hammocks are situated around for any of your resting needs, because who needs couches? There are a few blankets on the couch just for comfort, but the temperature is never cold enough to need them because of chill. There's also an absurd amount of pillows.

The walls are decorated with paintings that are either modern art pieces or done by kindergarteners. There are also photographs tacked onto the walls as well, of seemingly random things like a vase of flowers, a mailbox, a bird on a tree branch. The photos are less about grand views and feels more like someone testing out a camera.

On a table is a welcome basket.

specialty room.

In the common room, there's a door that leads to what can only be described as an Occult Room for some strange reason. Unlike the rest of the dorm, this room is dimly lit and is crowded with items—a skeleton that may or may not be real, taxidermy animals, really creepy looking dolls, an actual coffin, etc. On a table to the side is a Ouija board, a few tarot decks, and crystal ball.

Comments

before THE THING occurs

[supercatty]

[so anyway, immediately after everyone is brain?? washed?? into returning to the dorm and the doors shut and lock behind them. . . Catra swivels around, ears on edge, tail bristled]

[she stares at the door]

[and then she immediately launches herself at it, claws extended]

LET ME OUT!

[NOTHING ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED WAS OKAY]

[duranduel]

C-Catra! Calm down! You're going to hurt yourself-!

[Still, Mandricardo isn't moving just yet because. YEAH. WHAT WAS THAT.]

[supercatty]

[SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO HEAR HIM. . . or if she does, she is ignoring him? either way, she's absolutely clawing the shit out of the door, like she excepts her claws to tear through it. instead they just like. . . leave light, gentle grooves in the material. like normal cat claws would]

[duranduel]

I don't think it's gonna work...

[THIS JUST SEEMS. Very Futile]

[supercatty]

[it isn't working! and after a moment, she seems to realize that, too. and although she draws back to stare at her hands like they've betrayed her, her expression is still pinched in rage]

What is this?! I knew there was something wrong with this place. . .!

[sunstruck]

[wow! that's such a strong reaction.

hiyori is wandering down to the common room now from the suites. he was definitely asleep. his puppy follows down obediently after him]

Hello? Do you need help turning the knob?

[hiyori.]

It's prime beauty sleep hours, you know.

[supercatty]

[surprise!! local cat is trying to beat the shit out of this door!! it is not working. why would it work?]

It's locked you moron! They locked us in here!

[sunstruck]

Hmm... Locking down a building can be a useful safety measure! However, to do so randomly on a Thursday is...

[like what a weird day it's not even the end of the week

but he'll move forward to try to investigate?]

Pause please! And take care of your nails, they could break! That'd just be another nightmare.

[he doesn't want to get clawed up while looking at the door?]

[divineimpulse]

[ok

well

this is not an unfair reaction.

she's just watching to make sure she doesn't get hurt.]

[supercatty]

[she's fine. she's fine! physically, anyway. she is not at all hurting herself. she's just scratching at the door, like that will somehow miraculously open it up. . .?]

[divineimpulse]

[in that case, go ham. get fucked, door!!]

Is it loosening at all?

[wtfox]

[GASP]

Catra...!

[DON'T YEET AT THE DOOR YOU'LL GET HURT]

[supercatty]

[SHE WILL YEET HERSELF WHEREVER SHE PLEASES?? she is not hurting herself, though! just casually (read: angrily) scratching le door]

[as one does]

[wtfox]

I - maybe we should try the windows instead...?! Doors are more solid than glass!

[#helping]

[souheki]

[is asleep]

[supercatty]

[enjoy ur nap lwj]

[amain]

[ you're such an interesting creature, lwj ]

[amain]

[ Nier just leaves her to do as she wants because... If she could break down the door, that would be great? ]

They said they don't know anything about magic, didn't they?

[ Then how is this happening?? ]

[supercatty]

[SHE'S TRYING!! but it definitely does not seem to be working]

Obviously, that was a lie. Unless their stupid principal is doing this.

[hisses angrily and backs away from the door, flexing her fingers as she observes the scratches she's left behind]

[amain]

[ He checks if she'd made any progress, but... Just scratch marks. ]

You can use my sword.

[ MIGHT AS WELL ]

[divineimpulse]

Anyone can lie.

[she mad]

[amain]

When we get out of here, they owe us answers.

[ angy ]

[momming]

[ listen, she's clutching her medical bag with a rather worried and uncomfortable look on her face.

Look, she's just here to be damage control. ]

[supercatty]

[OTOME :( :( :(]

[. . . but hey! bright side? Catra isn't hurting herself at all, just madly clawing at a door that won't budge. she's sturdy!!]

[momming]

[ she sure is!! ]

This isn't promising.
