The Sentinels Fan Dorm

Inspired by the tangent in this thread.

Welcome to the big Sentinels fan boardinghouse! What sort of furniture/decorations have you put in your room, who do you want to have as your roommate (if you so choose to have one), and what clubs/factions are you joining? Please use the community room bulletin corkboard for all notices, important or otherwise.

Anyone?

Mind telling when your next meeting is? I’d love to come to one to hear your point of view.

Also, the dorm I live in is the one on the end of the right hallway. The one with the costume generator inside. Come and visit. I may not have a roommate yet because they’re ‘waiting for someone around my age to pair with me’, but Donner’s good company for being in the room next to mine, and Sonvar can really throw a party. 

(Feel free to deny any of what I said and change it to what you want, people that I mentioned.)

Umm... I'm not that invested, but Setback is my gaming Google account avatar. I will take a poster though. My room needs more decoration.

So, anyone know what the eldritch smoke and screams of the damned coming from the basement were about last night? I thought most of the new people were massive Setback fans, not cultists... and I don't really remeber a basement before

Don't mind the smoke and screams, I think Adam was just unpacking.

I think he had Wager Master set up the room, judging by the size of it.

Also the Mad Scientists Laboratory I helped set up is down there, don't forget. It was the best place to try to contain the inevitable explosions and chemical/biological eminations. Please remember to always wear protective gear when using those facilities, and make sure to use the nice hand sanitizer provided at the bottom of the stairs before coming back up, particularly for meals.

My room has two sides covered in Setback memorabelia, one wall with Freedom Five, Unity, and Beacon, and the last wall has Omnitron-X, Dark Watch, and Sky Scraper.  Probably one of the Setback walls is also covered in shelves of games.

I thought the basement was being used for using Gloomy's (SUGAR! YES PLEASE! goddamnit, i cant get it stuck out of my head) protection against Biomancer clones. 

Oh, that was the OTHER basement? Ohhh. That makes sense. Alright. I get it. Okay.

Also, whoever has the room that had the cookies in them, I'm sorry, but I ate the ones on the counter. They were so good though. Not the ones on the table, just the one's on the counter.

Oh no, I totally put both the Mad Scientists Laboratory and the Cult's... lair?, in the same basement. That way either everyone figures out how to get along or the resulting carnage is relatively contained; either way the maintenance staff has a much easier time of it.

You remembered to tell the maintenance guys to stay out of my room right? It's all highly organized and I don't want an incident like last time.

 

OH, and is it edition 1 of the Necromonicon or is it edition 4?

I'll give the maintenance guys the heads-up. Also, I'm joining the book club too.

Friendly reminder that the maintenance staff will be more than willing to find ways to procure snacks and beverages for dorm residents with restricted mobility requirements if it means averting the necessity of undergoing repairs or cleanup due to inappropriate behaviors caused by nutrient and/or stimulant withdrawal.

Nope. Been locked up too long. But I'll pay them back for the costs. (Just don't ask where the money comes from.)

Gotta say, though: The facilities here are better than The Block! Like, I actually have a bed. Which is good, because that gave me what I needed to tear out the ceiling tiles...

It's just that... well... I'm not too sure about the maintenance staff yet. They look a little... peakish. Also they kinda shuffle around a bit listlessly and spend their time talking about "brains" or "flesh" a lot. Also half of them keep setting off the metal detectors even when they put all their gear in the bucket. It's a little perplexing.

I don't want to be mean to anyone because we should let anyone have a chance to be our wonderful staff so I just gently steer them back on track now and then when they shuffle off too much or try to eat the wrong things, but still, I'd like to take it easy on any really complex operations.

Aw, now all the eldritch energies are leaking out in your room. Unfortunately we have basically no budget, so we had to resort to some creative measures for structural systems with some slightly jury-rigged inventions and/or rituals with very specific containment procedures and... sigh. All right, I'm sure I can bribe the maintenance staff with a sufficient procurement of... snack material... from other facilities to clean up the mess...

I'm the guy who was in the dorm for a while, but had to leave to deal with personal matters, but has now returned. 

I would describe my room, but I don't know where it is. I don't know where anything is. This place has gotten so much bigger than the last time I was here. If I wander around aimlessly, I'm sure I'll be fine and not pulled into any weird, random shenanigans.

Just make sure you don't let the maintenance staff eat you, don't touch anything that's bubbling, on fire, or glowing strangely in the basement, place all notices important or otherwise on the community corkboard only, and wash the coffee machine out properly before putting it back after you're done with it.

Sorry, I'm bad at code, computers are not my friends. Share your findings though? I've got a section of wall dedicated to Parse... she's slippery, but I'm certain I'll figure out her connections to Magmaria and the 2015 blizzard soon

 

*Grabs a void jelly bagel, and is surprised when it tastes like thyme*

 

You know Jeysie, I may have accidentally stumbled upon a small ritual or two that could help with the repairs... I just need three bags of flour and a sprig of holly. It should be perfectly safe to use as well, though, I think there also needs to be a discussion about doors that only unlock from the outside. So... you might want to talk to the landlord.

 

*takes another bite of void jelly bagel, realizes it looks exactly the same as it did after the first bite*

 

This is really good by the way, you should try it.
