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.

[Well, she's right, but...]

I-isn't it like, the principle of the matter? It's like saying you can have a bed in a bathroom...

[supercatty]

Some people don't care that much about principles. Or maybe they just like the décor.

[. . . popping the skull off of the skeleton and tossing it from hand to hand, before she holds it up casually]

Here. Catch.

[AND THEN SHE TOSSES IT AT HIM]

[duranduel]

W-w-wwwah!

[Mandricardo lets out a yelp, terrified as he steps back, but reaches out - the skull bounces on his hands as he struggles with deciding whether to just let it drop or keep it. He eventually keeps it, but he looks MORTIFIED.]

Don't DO that! What the hell!!

[supercatty]

[giggle-snort]

What? It's just a skull. Are you afraid it's going to bite you?

[duranduel]

No, I just...y-you have to treat the dead with a little more respect...yeah.........

[Mandricardo is just going to try to put this skull on the nearest flat surface. He also gives it a pat. N-nice skull.]

[supercatty]

[the skull stares back at him. as skulls do]

Yeah, whatever.

[browsing the rest of the room, stopping to pick up one of the creepy dolls, which she turns around in her hand to inspect]

I think this might be the coolest room I've seen yet.

[duranduel]

...The coolest?

[mandri internal voice like what is WITH this CAT GIRL and her GOTH TASTES]

I mean, I guess...if you're used to this sort of thing....

[supercatty]

[SLYTHERIN GOTH!!!]

[tosses the possibly cursed doll at him next]

It's not about being "used" to it. It's about having backbone. You just sound like you're soft.

[duranduel]

A-ah! Didn't I just say to stop that!!

[Catching the cursed doll too!! HATING HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW]

I mean, I have some backbone when the going gets tough...that counts for something...

[supercatty]

[he sure did say to stop that, and she sure is not stopping!! she settles at the crystal ball next, grazing her claws against the glass idly. not hard enough to leave scratches, but u know]

Really? You could've fooled me.

[duranduel]

I was an adventurer a long time ago...

[Just putting down the cursed doll and looking away self-consciously.]

[supercatty]

[. . .]

[picks up the crystal ball and tosses that next. WHY IS SHE LIKE THIS!!]

[duranduel]

[IT BONKS HIM ON THE HEAD AND HE GOES DOWN]

[ROBLOX OOF!!]

[he's still conscious but anyways thanks catra]

[supercatty]

[OH NO. . . SHE BROKE HIM. . .]

[pauses, then slides up next to his prone form and nudges him with her foot]

[duranduel]

Erghhhhh.......

[There's probably a crystal ball-shaped bruise on his forehead. Thanks. He's blearily looking up.]

What did I say...? You shouldn't! Throw stuff...!

[supercatty]

[ur welcome. mandri doesn't deserve this]

Whoops.

[she does not sound that apologetic]

[duranduel]

[Just giving her a tired glare.]

Why are you like this?

[supercatty]

[a casual shrug]

I dunno. Because it's fun?

[. . . extends a hand to help him up]

[duranduel]

I guess I can't argue with that, even if its too much for me...

[A pause, and he takes that hand.]

[supercatty]

[aw look she's helping him up. she gets one (1) karma point today]

Seriously, there isn't any reason to be creeped out by this room. It's probably decorated this way to purposefully freak us out.

[duranduel]

[wow catra being nice?? can't wait for this to never happen again]

Ah, thank you. [And now he's looking around the room again, rubbing his forehead.] Maybe? Or maybe it belongs to Sally.

[supercatty]

I wonder where she got the skeleton. Ooooh, did she kill a man herself?

[HOW DO U KNOW IT'S A MAN, CATRA]

[duranduel]

Kind of weird place to show that off, though...

[Yes, this is more important of a gripe than SALLY MAY HAVE KILLED A MAN]

[supercatty]

[giggle-snorts again]

You're so judgmental of Sally's tastes. Don't you care about her feelings?

[duranduel]

[CAUGHT RED-HANDED IN JUDGEMENT]

N-no I'm not! I'm just...maybe this is her style, but still, I-I'm...
