dorm

The first floor contains a spacious seating area with couches in a familiar, bright aquamarine. Floor to ceiling windows give the area plenty of light for all the plants dotting the room's tables and walls, and of course for visitors to lounge and read a book plucked from the shelves. The ceiling is high, allowing a glance up to the second floor through the balcony, but only those who live here are able to scan their ID cards at the elevator to access higher floors.

The elevators open on the second floor to a more comfortable living room occupied with sleek furniture, allowing for easy conversation around the fireplace or television. The room itself is understated, with subtle but beautiful artistic elements scattered around the space. The only splashes of color come from potted plants, flowers, or artwork on the walls, somehow a perfect complement to the wood tones throughout the space.

Turn the corner, and they'll find the kitchen, fully stocked and ready for use. A new set of flowers decorates the countertop every morning, along with a bowl of candy sitting on the counter that always seems to refill when you're not looking, no matter how much you take.

Stairs or elevator will take you to the third floor, where loft-style bedrooms await. Every hero gets their own room, decorated with flowers and canvases of art on the walls to suit their tastes. The lower part of the room contains a small, personal seating area, a desk and chair, and a small shelving unit. The bed is up the stairs, with a dresser and large window with aquamarine curtains. Bathrooms decorated with with aquamarine tiles are shared between neighbors, with one per two bedrooms. The vanity is separate from the private areas, but do try to be respectful. Toiletries are complimentary, fully stocked with soaps smelling of citrus, hair care, and even some makeup options, if you want it.

The fourth floor is only accesible by elevator. It is currently locked.

As they enter the dorm for the first time, heroes will find they have a new notification from the AMAZOOM app:

Congrats! You've received a new perk from Aquamarine Fox.

As your team leader, Aquamarine Fox is able to share one of three new powers with you:
1. Silvertongue
2. Catch Me If You Can
3. Immersion

Powers have been randomly assigned, but you may find the opportunity to choose a different power at a later date.

As these powers are exclusive to Aquamarine Fox and their team members, we ask that heroes please refrain from revealing what your new powers can do to members of opposing teams.

Terms and conditions may apply. Check your Amazoom Orders for further details on how to use the powers provided to you and limitations that they may be subject to.

Thank you for shopping with Amazoom!

After reading the notification, heroes will feel a new power welling up within them, and with it, the inherent knowledge that they can only use this ability once each week. They may want to use it carefully.

private
 
room

Opposite the bedrooms on the third floor, heroes can find a private room, available only to those who live in the Aquamarine Fox dorms: a studio, stocked with materials to make just about anything you like. The decor here is mostly neutral and understated, so as not to interfere with your creativity, but if you look to the ceiling, you see a painting of a plain blue sky.

All kinds of art supplies are stored in various shelves and drawers: paints, brushes, pencils, canvases, glitter, clay, wood, carving tools - even bolts of fabric with thread, dyes, trims, and notions to help make your dream outfit a reality. And, of course, there are reference books on the shelves as well, just in case you need a little help or inspiration.

Please be sure to keep this room a secret from the other teams! You can invite others over to visit, but do not let them into the private room or describe it for them.

Week 1, Sunday

[ Family dinner is too quiet without Norma. Still, one must eat and meals taste better in company. When everyone (or hopefully everyone) is collected around the dinner table and chewing on their food, Ponta stops eating for a moment in order to speak. ]

... I've been kinda dishonest until now. I've decided I'm gonna quit that.

[ .... deep breath. ]

My real name's Citrus, but you can keep calling me Ponta. I'm not actually clumsy or insecure about anything, that's just a persona I made up to hide my identity at home.

[ ... yeah. He's just gonna. Not look at anyone much and keep eating now. ]

[family dinner is indeed quieter without norma, but will's here, because even if he's sad, the rest of the members of the team are still his friends. so.

he listens to ponta speak, considers it, then smiles.]


Nice to re-meet you, then. Thanks for telling us.

[ eating is even hard without norma around, nothing tastes the same. :( their norma… but when ponta pauses, so does dva. ]

Well it’s nice to meet you! And I’m glad you feel comfortable enough, to tell us. You definitely don’t have to hide anymore, not here, with us.

[ she smiles, reaching over to pat his arm briefly. ]

Our dear Citrus.

[ THEY LOVE THEIR BOY!!!! ]

[personal profile] bottleking 2023-10-01 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. Yeah, good to be here.

[ Against all odds, he finds that he means that. There's a lot he has to unravel and in a lot of ways, he figures he's going to be less pleasant company now, but for now... For now his smile is real, and that counts for something. ]

I've been letting the mask slip a lot, but I figured I owed at least you guys an apology for lying.

[ ... oh.

It's been forever since he's hard that name spoken with such simple affection. It had been reverence, awe, worship, jealousy, deference... Tones of voice that had made him thoroughly sick of his name and everything it came to represent.

Once he slipped into the role of Ponta Hayari, he remembered that there are different ways to call a name. Happy, excited, simple ways. Being Ponta had become a precious escape.

An escape, only ever an escape. A lifetime of running from his own emptiness.

But now, at this table where someone is missing... Citrus finds himself choking back tears. ]


... mhm.

How could we hold it against you? This whole situation is whack.

[he loves his team, but he absolutely cannot fault anyone who has been less than honest all this time - it's an incredibly weird situation to be in, and it's natural that people would keep secrets or behave in certain ways to protect himself.]

But it means a lot that you trust us enough to tell us now. So... Seriously, thanks.

[ FAMILY DINNER ]

Oh, well...

Citrus is a lot easier to make a nickname than Ponta! I was really stuck thinkin' I might call you Pony... But I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I really appreciate your honesty, Citrie.

[ hehe ]

But, you know, maybe we should just do a speed question and answers to get to know each other a little better? I feel like we've all been busy figurin' stuff out. [ And he won't add that he wishes he got to know Norma better. :( Anyway. ]

[ i’ve had to leave and come back to this tag several times. IT GOT ME GOOD;;

oh… sweetheart… dva’s hand find his and gives it a squeeze. ]


This changes nothing, if anything it just makes us all that much closer. It’s not easy to share something like this… Thanks for trusting us.

[ gives him the warmest and most reassuring smile she can. ]

We’re all proud of you. Norma too, I’m sure of it.

[ if he tears up more, she will not be far behind. it’s been an emotional weekend, for sure. ]

[ After he got his tearfulness out with D.va a little, Ponta actually has to crack a smile at the idea of being called 'Pony' in daily life.

It's weird to have a nickname for Citrus, too, but it's the good kind of weird. Out of nowhere, he's managing to build new memories around a name he'd only thought of as a bitter memory. ]


Heh, that might be a good idea. Even without the whole fake identity stuff making things more complicated, I do want to know more about you guys.
bottleking: (c 022)

[personal profile] bottleking 2023-10-02 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh.

Oh, okay.

He's being hugged and his brain is dangerously close to short-circuiting. Even living a daily life as "Ponta" alongside his friends at home, even looking at Cota's smile every day, had he still been lonely? Had he still been longing for somebody to see the whole of him, including the parts long abandoned, and embrace it?

He neither leans into the hug nor draws away, just lets it happen almost contemplatively. ]


... it's not like revealing my identity here is any real danger, but...

[ He'd been letting things drop here and there all week, just to test how it feels, because it truly doesn't MATTER anymore who the bottle king is or isn't. But... ]

I want to trust you. I don't want to let any of you die.
bottleking: (c 035)

[personal profile] bottleking 2023-10-02 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I should be thanking you guys instead...

[ Making him remember things he'd forgotten, a type of joy entirely unrelated to bottleman in any way. ]

In my world, I'd already been forced to drop the act but when I got here I figured it'd be better to be unassuming for a bit. Having too much power just means people want to use you - but that happened either way.
