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.

Hah, you flatter me, miss.

[ With that, he'll take a seat nearby and actually eat the pastry. ]

Yet I won't deny I am always eager to learn, and I am especially curious about your home.

[wtfox]

Really? What are you most curious about?

[arcsplainist]

Oh, simply that you made mention of it being dangerous, is all. I mean not to dredge up any unpleasant memories, of course, but I thought it curious you would mention it.

[wtfox]

Oh, well... There's a supervillain named Hawkmoth, who has these evil butterflies that he uses to turn other people into supervillains, and... it seems like he does that nearly every day?

So... it's pretty tough. And so far, it seems a lot more peaceful here, which I think is a good thing?

[arcsplainist]

[ A supervillain—as opposed to just, a regular villain? But he isn't about to downplay her words, so. ]

Then, for your sake, I do hope the peace is here to stay. At the very least, you will not have to worry about those troubles while we are... supposedly to attend classes.

[wtfox]

That would be nice... oh, but don't worry! I'm used to danger, so if it turns out not to be peaceful, I'll protect you.

[arcsplainist]

[ She's so earnest... He can't help but smile a touch at that. ]

You are too kind, but you needn't worry for my sake. Mayhap there is another who could use your protection more than I.

[wtfox]

That won't stop me from wanting to look out for you! It looks like we're... dormmates, I think would be the word?

[arcsplainist]

Indeed, that is so. Then what say I watch your back as well, if you wish to watch mine?

[wtfox]

[she giggles]

That would be okay with me!

[arcsplainist]

Then consider it a deal—and for that matter, allow me to introduce myself. I am Alphinaud Leveilleur, and you are...?

[wtfox]

Oh, sorry, I didn't even think to...!

I'm Lila. Lila Rossi. It's very nice to meet you!

[arcsplainist]

Think naught of it. We are, after all, in unusual circumstances, so it is only expected that some things may slip our minds.

Regardless, 'tis a fine pleasure to meet you, Lila.

[wtfox]

It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Alphinaud!

[arcsplainist]

There we go, then.

... And allow me to thank you. We have only but just met, yet it does help in feeling a little less alone in such a foreign place.

[wtfox]

You're welcome! I'm glad to have been able to help.

[she smiles]

[arcsplainist]

[ he nods back! ]

You oft confront the dangers of your home?

[ She was quick to offer her aid and all. ]

[wtfox]

Mmhm. I mean, someone has to stand up to it, right...?
