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.

[OH THANK GOD SOMEONE NORMAL (they are the ones who are not normal)

Lan Wangji doesn't noticeably perk up or anything, but Wang Lu does get his immediate attention, and he lifts his injured hands to bow as properly as he can when he's, uh. "I've been trapped in a cave and I look it" levels of presentable. He will make up for it by sheer force of propriety.]

I am Lan Zhan of the Gusu Lan sect, courtesy name Wangji. [This is the longest sentence he's going to say all game wow] And you?

[chosenwang]

[ He'll return the bow, his gaze already locking on to the injuries he can see. ]

I'm Wang Lu of the Lingjian sect. [ They only give you Wang Lu for any of his names i'm gomen ]

Did you come across some trouble before coming here?

[souheki]

[Lingjian... it doesn't sound familiar, but then again, it's not like he knows every single sect in existence. Maybe it's small? It doesn't matter, he'll be unfailingly polite anyway.]

The Qishan Wen Sect.

[He says, like that explains everything. Surely, no matter where Lingjian Sect is, they've encountered some degree of Wen tyranny?]

[chosenwang]

[ There isn't any kind of reaction to his sect's name when it's one of the more famous cultivation sects out there. Either this guy has one hell of a poker face or he hasn't heard of it.

Quishan Wen Sect is also new, but maybe they are a newer group? ]

Did they do that to you? What do they have against you?

[souheki]

[Both of them just squinting in confusion at each other

But Lan Wangji presses his lips together, a note of displeasure on his otherwise stoic face.]

Indoctrination. [His tone is cold, though it's not directed at Wang Lu, of course.] You were not notified?

[They must be either small enough to escape notice, or distant enough that word hasn't traveled yet...]

[chosenwang]

[ tfw someone is familiar shaped but nothing else is familiar.

Also yikes. What kind of sect is this Wen Qishan Sect? ]

I may have missed it. I have been traveling recently. Tell me more about what they have been doing.

[ Does he have to go fight another Sect? ]

[souheki]

...They declared that all sects are "inept at instruction and have wasted talent". Twenty disciples from each clan were to be dispatched for "proper education".

[Lan Wangji's generally a very polite young man, but even he can't keep the anger and disgust out of his eyes. The even tone with which he speaks probably says enough on its own, too.]

Core-Melting Hand's presence deterred much disobedience.
