The colors that accent this room are reds, golds, oranges and yellows - the walls are a deep red, the curtains a shimmery fade of orange and gold, and the floor is a dark wood. The most prominent feature is the giant bed, big enough for like, at LEAST four people. It’s a four-post bed frame with heavy red velvet curtains that can be pulled to enclose around the bed. There are fairy lights pulled across the curtains like this. There’s a big plush red carpet under the bed so that when you roll out of it, you immediately step on something soft. Next to the bed is a brick fireplace without a poker or anything. Does it work? Does it even go anywhere? I don’t know, but it is very aesthetic.
On the far wall are a bunch of bookcases, filled with fake book facades. There’s also a lot of empty potion bottles and pretty gemstones and various magical aesthetic objects like bird skulls and things like, glued to the shelves just for decoration. Next to these bookshelves is a window with a nook, where a comfy cushion and pillow makes it easy to curl up and read. This window shows something like a slideshow of different worlds. It changes every 30 minutes or so.
The walls are decorated with paintings of various watercolor flowers, all in the same color scheme. One of the paintings is a picture of Fantasy Guy Fieri (he has elf ears) promoting a huge roast turkey leg during the production of an episode of D*ners, C*rt-Ins, and D*ves. There are also cheap but very bright glow in the dark star stickers all over the ceiling.
The desk has a painting that looks like it is very well cared for sitting above it on the wall in a frame. The desk itself is wood that is made of the same material as the flooring, matching in color and the general Victorian style, though it does have really gaudy flame decals painted across the top.
Also, of course she has a walk-in closet. It’s painted in similar colors to the rest of the room with a big table in the middle for shoes and jewelry. The walls in here have that same terrible flame decal randomly splashed across it.]
[yeah it's always the guy fieri poster that throws people off]
Thanks, I like it too, even though I'm super sus. [a pause, as she glances up at the painting, and then...] Oh, uh. Yeah. Kind of... my family, more like, but yeah.
Um. That's Barry, Taako, Lucretia, Magnus, and then um, Merle and Davenport in the front. [from left to right.]
[she wanders in to get a closer look at the painting.]
Dumbasses. [she says, affectionately.] Taako is my brother, obviously. Lucretia's really quiet, but she's got this mean streak of humor that catches you off guard. Magnus is big and brave and loud. Merle's an old coot, but he means well. Davenport is responsible and the best damn captain you could ask for.
[...] Barry's - Barry is... [hm.] Too good for us.
Yeah. I don't know, it's a whole situation, and it's not really your problem! So it's fine. We barely even know each other. [she says, waving a hand.] Um. Yeah, they're all really great. I spend a hundred years with them, so they're uh... they're more important to me than anything.
[what picture is she getting!! but he brightens up as he starts, his voice immediately growing warmer as he starts describing them.]
So we were split into groups back there based on seasons - I was on Winter for a while. Most of them were really nice! There's Adora, she's really kindhearted and a really amazing friend. Catra, too - her and Adora were from the same place, and they were together by the end. It was really sweet. Then there was Beau - she's really tough, but she could be really caring and understanding, too. She had a few friends there, Caleb and then - well, I guess a different version of Mollymauk than the one that's here. Anyways, Caleb's really smart. Crow likes to seem tough too, I think, but he really cares about everyone he calls a friend. Dimitri... Definitely seems a little rough around the edges when you first meet him, but he ended up being one of my best friends there, even though we weren't in the same place for too long. Ichiro is a really great guy, really caring and supportive. He loves his family a lot, it's really sweet. I didn't get to know Kon as well as I'd have liked to, but he was always kind to me. Leo's really smart, too - he's an inventor. He taught me a lot of really cool stuff. And - that's Winter!
I had more friends in other dorms, but those were the ones I lived with for a while.
Yeah, it was definitely him. He had the same name and looked the exact same. But - the one that's here told me to think of the one I knew as a completely different person, so I'm trying to do that.
He died in, um... A really horrible way. It's - pretty graphic, so I won't get into it, but it must have been awful to go through. A few of his friends made a deal with the people helping to run things, at least, so he got to come back from daycare earlier than the rest of us, but even with that...

[and then a longer pause, as he looks at fantasy guy fieri.]
...Some of it. Anyways! I like it. [gesturing to the painting] Are those your friends? You should tell me about them.

[his expression softens, though, once she reaches the end there.]
Sorry, I... We can talk about something else if you want to.
[if it's hard for her to talk about.]
no subject
Yeah. I don't know, it's a whole situation, and it's not really your problem! So it's fine. We barely even know each other. [she says, waving a hand.] Um. Yeah, they're all really great. I spend a hundred years with them, so they're uh... they're more important to me than anything.
no subject
[but he doesn't want to push and make her uncomfortable, either. he does blink at the next part, though.]
A hundred years? Wow!
no subject
Oh, yeah! I mean, that's nothing for me, because elf? But we were on a ship and kind of... time looped. It's complicated.
no subject
[a beat.]
Unless the time looping was bad for some reason. Then it wasn't cool at all and I take that back immediately.
no subject
Well, kinda, but. It's fine. We fixed it.
no subject
Well, good... I'm really glad to hear that, whatever it was.
