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.

[ It is not his personal towel. He very much borrowed it and if this means there is one less towel for summer dorm... Well, he thinks it's for the greater good. ]

Magic?

[ Lan Wangji, you're a wizard? ]

[souheki]

[LISTEN it's Nier's personal towel until Lan Wangji learns this isn't Nier's weirdass house

He's too polite to give Nier a weird look but he kind of seems like he wants to.]

I am a cultivator. [it's basically magic]

[amain]

[ If only his house was this nice... Lan Wangji should give him a weird look since Nier is definitely giving him a confused one. ]

I don't think this cultivator stuff matters now since... You're not in your world anymore unless all of this looks familiar to you.

[ Gently lets him down. ]

[souheki]

It does not. [And, yeah. Nier is probably right, since--] My meridians have been blocked.

[a.k.a. none magic.]

...And you?

[Is it familiar to Nier?]

[amain]

Some things, but most no.

[ They're both stranded, basically, is what this conversation cements. ]

I've scoped this building and it's safe... At least for now, so it's fine to rest.

[ Since someone came here fucked up. ]

[souheki]

[Oh, that's good to hear. Wow, what a diligent companion. This is loads better than where he came from for so many reasons.]

Thank you.

[A pause. Then, carefully--]

...Did anyone arrive with me?

[amain]

[ He checked out the place for himself, but might as well tell people they don't need to sleep with their eyes open. Give him a moment. ]

If you mean someone that looks similar to you, there's a guy?

[ He's talking about Wang Lu and Lan Wangji will probably know it isn't his boyfriend. ]

[souheki]

[HE WILL find this out as soon as he sees Wang Lu, yeah, but for now Nier is the first person he's encountered, so!! He straightens up a little (he's already sitting properly, why), looking towards the door.]

Has his fever broken?

[amain]

... Fever?

[ He tilts his head. ]

I saw him wandering around fine, so I think he's fine. Are you two friends?

[souheki]

No. [They're. Something.] We were trapped together.

[amain]

[ okay homosexual ]

Is he injured on top of having a fever? We should find him if he is.

[souheki]

[STOP LISTEN]

Mm.

[Let's go not find Wei Wuxian]

[amain]

[ i have been listening for like 8 years pixi and you gave me words that shouldn't be in a thesis on fictional homosexuals

Anyway, he'll lead Lan Wangji (is he going to limp) to where he last saw Lang Wu. ]

[souheki]

[He is going to walk with as much dignity as humanly possible but yeah he's gonna limp a little

But he's also looking carefully around as they go, taking in the dorm for the first time. He isn't gawking or anything, but there's a distinct lack of recognition--modern architecture and technology are totally foreign to him.]

Where are we?

[amain]

... I'm not sure, actually. Nothing is that familiar to me.

[ They're both just lost boys at this point, though summer dorm is very pleasant? It's nice and warm, which Nier kind of likes, but he also doesn't know shit.

It's not that interesting since he has looked around, so he's looking at Lan Wangji now and lets out a sigh. ]

You could have told me you had trouble walking.

[souheki]

[LOOK... HIS LEG IS CLEARLY GNARLY WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIM.]

No need for concern. It will heal.

[As soon as he figures out how to get his spiritual energy working properly again, he'll be fine in a few days. It's all good. (no)]

[amain]

[ STOP ]

... You keep saying that like it'll magically fix itself.

[ Come on. He will help Lan Wangji properly walk. We're going back to the fucking bunk so you can just sit there. ]

[souheki]

Mm. Cultivation.

[lwj that doesn't answer anything AND STOP HE WANTS TO EXPLORE]

[amain]

[ ... Nier is like... He's confused because of where they are which he knows is the Summer Dorm, but not even sure what the fuck is what, and now he has to look after this dude just mumuring Cultivation when confronted about his injuries. ]

Let's... Just be careful until cultivation kicks in, okay?

[ Wobbles to the common room with Lan Wangji iin tow, maybe even closer to the special room. ]

[souheki]

[STOP HE CAN WALK ON HIS OWN IT’S FINE. That room is not fine though, actually? He stops as they pass by, staring into it with a slight furrow to his brow.

...

......

You know what, he is not perceiving this today suddenly he’s fine with going back to sit down]

...I will meditate.

[amain]

[ NO, YOU CANNOT. Also, it's not like he's giving SO MUCH support, just a bit. Keep your dignity. ]

Here... Or?

[souheki]

The bedroom is fine.

[He does not want to meditate in the weird occult room]

[amain]

[ Okay. He will take Lan Wangji to the bedroom again, setting him on the closest bed. ]

If you need anything, you can probably call for someone here. [ A nod. ] Oh, yeah. My name's Nier.

[souheki]

Thank you.

[He lifts his hands, bowing as much as he can from where he’s seated.]

Lan Zhan of Gusu Lan, courtesy name Wangji.

[amain]

[ .......... He mirrors his bow since he guesses that's the polite thing to do. ]

... How should I address you?

[ what the fuck are those names ]
