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.

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

...class?

[???]

True Name...? Why couldn't you give out your name? Are you in some kind of trouble?

[duranduel]

That's like...how being a Servant works? Like, you can't just give out your True Name like it's nothin', y'know?

[And now Mandricardo just looks self conscious.]

[wtfox]

A... servant?

[you can practically hear that the word is not capitalized when she says it.]

That seems like a silly rule to have for a job. Do you need me to talk to your boss or something?

[duranduel]

Boss?

[He tilts his head, frowning.]

Uh. Not that type of servant. I'm somethin' different. Not like a butler or anything.

[wtfox]

Huh... I guess we don't have things like that in Paris?

[she sounds confused]

What type of servant are you, then?

[duranduel]

[Mandricardo misunderstands what she says, shaking his head.]

Oh, from France? Well, you do, of course. Like Charlemagne and people like that...you have all sorts of legends that hail from there.

[There's a bit of a frown at just saying Charlemagne's name, though.]

Didn't I say earlier? Rider. I'm Rider class.

[wtfox]

...Charlemagne? But that was thousands of years ago.

[she looks so confused.]

So you're a Rider servant...? Do you work in the stables? Wait, are there stables here?

[duranduel]

Yeah. [JUST LIKE. STARING AT HER MATTER-OF-FACTLY] I'm from a long time ago, too.

[yeah uh]

[that's a thing to drop!]

Stables? Well, I do have a horse, but...actually, that's right, I haven't seen him either...

[wtfox]

...you don't look that old though?

[duranduel]

You can blame the Throne of Heroes for that. I mean, I think it like summons us in our prime or whatever. I don't really get it...

[wtfox]

Hmm... well, I don't really get it, but it's nice to meet you, Rider!

[duranduel]

Nice to meet ya too...Lila, wasn't it?

[He's gazing around now.]

I guess we're all just. Staying here?

[wtfox]

Mmhm, that's my name. Don't forget it, okay?

[she smiles!]

...it looks like it! It didn't seem like there were enough beds for all of us upstairs, but these hammocks are really comfy, so I don't mind it.

[duranduel]

I wouldn't?

[Mandricardo just assuming that's like a dig at his memory or something.]

The hammocks do look comfortable...maybe I'll sleep here away from everyone else.

[wtfox]

Good!

[nooooo, it's not meant to be a dig... but she looks satisfied to know he won't forget her.]

I was thinking I might sleep out here, too, if the others want the beds. The bunk beds look pretty cool, but since I'm okay with this, it's only fair in case the others aren't okay with it, right...?

[duranduel]

[He's coming close to one of the free hammocks.]

I guess? I mean, if no one complains, then that usually works out for me.

[wtfox]

Well, I promise I don't snore, so if we're both out here you won't have anything to worry about!

[duranduel]

Oh, don't worry, I wouldn't care about that. I don't snore either. Uh, pretty sure.

[wtfox]

Then it sounds like it'll be fine if we're roommates!

[duranduel]

Roommates...

[oh wait THAT'S A SCARY WORD]

I'll try to uh...stay out of your way...

[wtfox]

[she waves a hand]

There's plenty of space! I call dibs on this hammock, though.

[duranduel]

Yeah, that's fine.

[And sitting down on a hammock.]

This is mine.

[wtfox]

Okay! I'll be sure not to accidentally use that one.

[she smiles]

[duranduel]

I mean, I don't really mind...it's just a hammock.

[wtfox]

Right, but it's your space! So you should be able to trust that other people aren't just getting in it.
