[Cardigan texts everyone to let them know they're making dinner and to invite whoever they want!!

They also note that they purchased tickets to the ball for avante.

If you are close with anyone on avante you can assume Cardigan texted you to come over.]


Unit dorm:
The unit dorm is decorated in pseudo-Medieval style, with stone walls and floors, and tapestries in gold and white hanging from the ceiling. The table is a long banquet table, and all the chairs are ornate wooden chairs. The TV looks like a big tapestry of knights engaged in battle when not being used.

Each bedroom has a small nook with a single large gothic cathedral-styled window, with thick velvet curtains that can be drawn to cover the alcove itself. As for the common area, two stained glass windows adorn the entrance, hemming in the doorway. Depicted on each is a knight standing vigil. On the lefthand and righthand walls are two more windows, both depicting knights slaying a dragon. All the stained-glass windows are hinged, to allow them to open.

Patio:
Appended to the dorm is a half-covered outdoor area, with banners fluttering in the breeze and a rustic hewn stone floor pairing the patio to the same aesthetic that the dormitory indoors have. Patio lounge chairs and gliders are made of wrought-iron, with tapestry fabric cushions to relax comfortably on top. There's a portable antique bronze firepit that can be used during the colder months or at night, or put away if they want. From the stone archways, they get an excellent view— perks of living on the highest floor.

Arcade:
Welcome to the dungeon! Branching off from the hallway leading to the bedrooms is a dark, narrow stairwell that leads into a large stone chamber illuminated only by lit wrought iron braziers lining the walls and and the hazy neon glow of the arcade machines that populate the room. Every single game is something competitive, and most are combat-oriented. Set into the walls between each brazier is a small alcove with a pair of manacles hewn onto the wall, presumably for leaving losers to rot for the rest of eternity. On the far end of the dungeon, disguised as a podium, is a minifridge.

Cardigan offered to help me out with lessons too. I didn't know the unit already had people that knew this stuff. Feels kinda silly reading about it now.

[liarliarliar]

More people knowing can only help. There's medical classes too if you're interested in being helpful. John from Lilis teaches them. He's kind of an awkward fussy cranky fellow at times but he knows what he's doing.

[emotionalsupportghost]

You're right, but it still feels redundant, you know?

I'll keep an eye out for that John guy. I've been meaning to talk to someone from Lilis anyway.

[liarliarliar]

Sometimes redundant is helpful.

Trying to do all the socializing?

[emotionalsupportghost]

Trying to make it easier for these guys to socialize. I want to set up a photo scavenger hunt for a Live to get people to come to them.

[liarliarliar]

Ooohh nice idea! And everyone loves a double live.

[emotionalsupportghost]

That's what I figured. More points that way, right?

[liarliarliar]

Yep. People can get all those powers and memories they crave.

[emotionalsupportghost]

Exactly. It should give me just what I need to get my first ability, now that you mention it.

[liarliarliar]

What are you getting first?

[emotionalsupportghost]

Probably appel. Most of the rest rely on one of the other abilities to be really useful, but you can't go wrong with paralyzing someone for a defense move.

[liarliarliar]

Good first call! Defense is pretty important.

[emotionalsupportghost]

No kidding. Everyone says it's supposed to be safe outside of the games, but I've heard of a couple of "incidents" already.

[liarliarliar]

Yeeaaaahh. There's been some violence. Last time was random too, which was scary.

[emotionalsupportghost]

Pretty sure it's always scary.

[liarliarliar]

You're not wrong but it was extra scary.

[emotionalsupportghost]

...Yeah, I'll give you that.

[liarliarliar]

That person is gone now though.

[emotionalsupportghost]

Good.

Is the person they hurt alright now?

[liarliarliar]

He seems okay? That guy is a fussy sort but last we spoke he seemed well.

[emotionalsupportghost]

Honestly, as long as he's still around and in one piece I'll count that.

[liarliarliar]

People get patched up fine unless it's. Lilith's payment.

You can pay to remove scars even.

[emotionalsupportghost]

Yeah... I heard about the scars thing. ... How does that work?

[liarliarliar]

I haven't needed it yet but I presume you just pay the shop like anything else...

[emotionalsupportghost]

I...guess. I just can't decide if it's supposed to be like a surgery or magic.
