dormheads | SUMMER COMMON ROOM

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.

[ She tilts her head, before offering him a steady smile. ]

Of course it's all right. Why wouldn't it be?

[ i'm crying when i got a tag from this username, kia. Anyway, he's glad to hear that it's fine? ]

I just don't know how well I'd do in a school "Dorm War" without having experience.

[ I'm not sorry!! ]

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. I've never participated in that sort of thing either, and I did attend school. I imagine it might be some kind of form of competition?

[ He scratches his cheek. ]

That's a relief, though now I'm wondering what's waiting for us. "Dorm War" is an interesting choice of words.

I can only hope it's friendly competition... though I'm not sure I like the implication of all of us being brought here so easily.

Whoever really did this, they must be strong. I've never heard or seen magic that can bring someone to another world.

[ Well, that's his assumption. ]

I've encountered my fair share of... ah, impossible things, but never anything like this. I'm afraid I'm just as stumped as you are.

[ Some adult she is. ]

[ He nods since he's also in the same predicament. ]

I'm mostly used to fighting monsters and using magic, but this is still beyond my understanding.

[ A sigh. ]

We're bound to learn more about our situation if we snoop around?

I think so, too.

Would you like to join me, or would you prefer a more solo approach?

[ He smiles at that! ]

Two heads are better than one, right?

I'd have to agree! Then in that case, I'd be honored for your company.

Sounds like we're a team then, though we're already in a big team.

[ SUMMMMER DORMMM? Though he isn't sure what the heck it's all supposed to mean. ]

My name's Nier.

My name's Otome.

[ And she offers her arm with a wink. ]

Shall we, Nier?

[ There's a moment he has to think about this because uhm... A cute girl winked at him and that makes him a little nervous. Like maybe 10% for a whole second.

It's okay. He takes her arm! They're linked like partners now. ]

We shall. [ Deal sealed. ] What's next?

[ Thanks for thinking of this 24-year-old as a cute girl, Nier. ]

Well, was there anywhere in particular you wanted to explore?

[ She's a girl and she's cute what does being 24 have anything to do with it!!!!

Hmmm. ]

Everywhere, really. I saw some building outside the window and what looks like forest?

... A forest...

Let's see if we can try that. It sounds promising.

[ Less school-like, anyway. ]

Fortunately, it looks like it's close to this building, so it shouldn't be a long walk.

[ But they must together hobble through the door first. ]

I wouldn't mind... it's been a while since I've had the chance to take a long walk.

[ Work, and all.

But to the door! ]

[ THE DOOR. ]

Did your job not ask you to walk? Even to your shop?

[ They're met with buildings, but Nier will help them circle to the back which should be forest along the shallow river. ]

[ Otome grimaces, just a little. ]

It's my job to save lives. You could say I was a little too busy for leisure walks.

[ Save lives. Where has he heard that phrase. ]

You're a doctor.

[ What the fuck. Wow. Nier is actually amazed? In awe? He even forgets what they're doing. ]

I-- am, yes.

[ she blinks up at him, looking a little concerned. ]

Is something wrong with that?

No, not at all. If anything, that’s good for us.

[ If someone gets impaled by a golf club, we have Otome. ]

There weren't a lot of doctors where I’m from...

[ hence his surprise ]

[ Otome dearly hopes no one is impaled by a golf club. ]

I see... if that's the case, you look healthy enough, but please let me know if you'd ever like a complimentary check-up.
