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.

I know, I just...

[A sigh.]

Sorry, Sally.

You'll have to say it to her face, if she's ever brave enough to show it.

W-why would I? That would be rude!

Wouldn't not apologizing be even ruder?

That would assume she heard me judging it in the first place...

It's her room. Her building, even. Who's to say she doesn't have spies on the inside?

Why would she have spies? It's a school!

[a flat look]

Every war has spies, idiot.

[DORM WARS. . .?]

I-is this a war? I mean, I've been in war, and this is...

[VERY QUIET??]

. . .

They literally use the word "war."

[what else would it BE]

Maybe it's not literal...? I mean, as far as I know, schools don't just...engage in wars...

[the fire emblems sniper me on the spot]

Wartime is a serious thing. Even military bases aren't as lax as this.

[tensing a little]

Yeah, I know what wartime is like.

[SHE IS LITERALLY AN ARMY COMMANDER! or. . . was]

. . . and I know people will make things seem lax during wartime on purpose. To lower your guard.

...I know how it's like, too. It was a long time ago, but...yeah.

[A huff.]

You have a point, though. I guess its easy to get relaxed in this kinda place. We haven't even seen our dorm leaders, or this Principal of theirs.

[what's a principal]

[SHE DOESN'T ASK]

All joking aside. . . I want to know what kind of person "Sally" is.

[so she can gauge why the fuck they were brought here to FIGHT IN A WAR in the first place, and what Sally might do if Catra tries to. . . you know. bail]

Well, if this room is any indication...if it's hers...

[mmmmmmmmmmm maybe bad?]

[shrugs a little at that. suddenly the joke is not very funny anymore :(]

[YEAH THIS GOT REAL GLOOMY ALL OF A SUDDEN]

[after a long pause, Mandricardo speaks up]

H-hey, how about we get out of here? Find another place? I don't want to keep hanging around here for too long...
