@13org Thanks! The whole love spot thing is an interesting turn I usually don't give my characters odd traits like that XD

I was skimming through the profiles and your seems pretty cool too! Yeah, if you want her to be charmed by it, it's fine by me we can play it out and have fun with whatever becomes of that

Can't wait to meet my roommate, IDK if rooms are co-ed, doesn't matter to Circe either way lol

[KoL]

Did no one read my last post completely?

There are no copy paste dorm rooms in the Academy. Your characters are staying in a proper military like dorm, with everyone's beds under the same roof.

I have to bring this up before the confusion snowballs into something that wasn't meant to.

Please, correct your posts.

@Sync

I'm not insinuating anything... Just stating that Lilac would be very easy to be charmed by anyone, even without abilities, if they are gentle and careful enough while approaching her XD

She is incredibly innocent and naive regarding relationships LOL
But at the same time, she is very shy and if you're too rough or too fast, she will run. Just like a wild animal.

@13org

Aww, that's kind of cute, actually. Ah don't worry about it, though. If Lumen saw how fragile she was he wouldn't try anything to spook her away. He'd most likely be a bit gentler and stuff.

@KoL

It's not that I didn't read your post, just that it was a day between yours and mine and I forgot, I did fix it though

@KoL

Tbh I just didn't know what a communal room was. I just assumed it was like a dorm room, my bad.

@floodtalon

You don't know what a communal room is?

[Cerces22]

@TheWindel

And in floods defense, I was unsure as to communal room as well, there is a broad way of looking at it, there is college dorms that have a common room and each student has their own bedroom, than there are army barracks (which I think is what you guys were looking for) but even than I was unsure as to if it was army style how militant the barracks were. So maybe if we knew the exact extent of what the rooms look like we could better modify our going to room??

[Flood]

@TheWindel

No. Is that unusual?

[KoL]

Since it seems like you still haven't got it, I'll try to provide some minimal floor plans by tomorrow. It'll not be anything as detailed as a blueprint but it should do the trick.

Don't get used to it thought, because I feel like this kind of extra effort shouldn't be necessary. I just want to make my description clear and avoid miscommunication between us.

[Flood]

@KoL

I genuinely just don't understand what you're describing. Sorry, I have no experience with communal rooms and everything I looked up pointed towards a living room rather than bedrooms and sleeping arrangements.

[Cerces22]

@floodtalon

And honestly, where I am from that's what a communal room usually is

[KoL]

@Cerces22@floodtalon

The simplest and most functional design possible. In case you still cannot picture a common dormitory with room assigned by gender and floors assigned by grade/schoolyear:

[KoL]

By the way, the stairs, and doors, are appropriate for weird physiologies as well, so no "a centaur can't go through here" comments.

There are around 20 individual beds per room, to a total of 40 for each grade and 160 students in general. They are arranged with 11 in the wall opposite to the door and nine on the door wall. Each student has around 9 m² of floor area for him/herself (that is a square of slightly less than 10 feet on each side with the bed on the middle, close to the wall), with a 1.5 meter (5 feet) lane separating the room. It's not cramped at all, unless you are a literal giant so, even a horse could sleep there very well.

The common areas are furnished, and have mini libraries, a television (with a latest gen W-box console), a couple of public computers each and even a small snack bar with a fridge. Your characters aren't living in spartan conditions at all so there's no reason for than to complain.

The place is as good as it can be without veering into rich children pampering syndrome.

PS: Just to be clear about this. Both the common areas and all entrance and exits have CCTV cameras, to keep everyone safe while maintaining the rooms privacy.

Huh. Nice handwriting KoL. I had figured you for a doctor's penmanship, but alas I have yet to meet anyone worse then myself.

@Lonewolf685

Oh, that's actually my (hasty/messy) engineering handwriting. My actual cursive handwriting is way less readable than that.

[Lonewolf685]

At least you can write in cursive. I still get laughed at when people see my signature.
