dormitory stories
Attempt at interacting with social media for once, basically. Lol, lets see how this goes :3

[Room_1: Watanabe Astral, Repairer, Kamui Bastion]
|— —|
Watanabe walked towards the room that the commandant had given him.
It was a temporary stay, he reminded himself, and that the commandant had let him stay since he wasn't so keen on staying in the other places of Babylonia.
He knocked on the door. Once, twice, three times. No answer, empty, or so it seems.
The door slid open, making no sound, fortunately.
..... was that a corrupted?
He blinked in confusion. An infected with a ribbon on its head.
What.
Sure, the Babylonians were hypocrites, but would they really go that far?
No, does Babylonia even know this? Afterall, this is the Gray Ravens' base and dormitories, there's a chance they just... housed a corrupted without telling anyone.
He stared at it in silence. Eventually, it noticed him and scurried behind a counter, scared of him.
"Huh? What's wrong lil' guy?" A voice came and surprised him even more.
'A Strike Hawk member?' If he remembered correctly, the voice belonged to Kamui.
As if on cue with his thoughts, said person left from behind the dividers next to the door and entered his line of sight, going to the kitchen of the dorm room to where the corrupted was hiding.
In a moment of walking, Kamui spotted him in the corner of his eyes.
"Huh? Oh, hey! You're Watanabe, right? Commandant said i was getting another roommate," Kamui flashed him a big smile before his imaginary puppy ears dropped "though only temporary apparantly..."
... new generation constructs sure are something...
Kamui welcomed him with open arms and reassured him that the repairer bot was nice and clean of the punishing virus.
Kamui also showed him some games, and that was how they spent their time together.

[Lounge: Camu Crocotta, Lee Entropy, Nanami Storm]
|— —|
The commandant had made a lounge. Lee doesn't know why the commandant had made a lounge, nor what purpose it served for initially.
He always hung around the lounge for one thing or another though. He supposes the lounge does have a purpose afterall besides being a waiting room.
The most frequent users of the place were more often than not Camu, Kamui, or Nanami.
Why? Simple, because the commandant had installed gaming computers.
Lee doesn't understand why the commandant installed gaming computers, much less six of them, but now they're consistently used by three certain people, while the rest of the computers were free for use.
Lee can't exactly concentrate in such an environment, so he finds himself mostly curled up near and sometimes directly below the ACs and doing his simpler and less taxxing works.
God the lounge ACs hit different.. what kind of premium air are they producing?
Occasionally, No. 21 comes in and watches him work, snuggled up against him and enjoying the AC too.
Seems they have something in common afterall.
Meanwhile...

[Research_Lab: Wanshi Hypnos, Liv Lux, No.21 XXI]
|— —|
Wanshi likes two places in the Gray Raven's base, or maybe three if you count the commandant's office.
The first place he likes is the Library. It's quiet and not a lot of people roam there, save for maybe the captain who visits the Gray Raven's personal library on the daily.
'Since when did their commandant had such a budget?'
The second place he likes is the research lab.
'Again, what kind of commandant was able to afford a whole laboratory of all things?.. it seems the Gray Raven commandant really is special then..'
It's quiet, and the only people who are ever allowed access is either the Gray Ravens or people who got permission from the commandant of the Gray Ravens.
Honestly, he only ever goes there to sleep and watch Liv do some interesting work.
What he does wonder is why No. 21 was apart of the people who were allowed in the lab.
Who knows? Maybe Vera is using her to spy on the results or something.
Well, it's not his problem. No. 21 can do what she wants to do, because in the end she was still just a child like them, only several years younger both mentally and physically.
Now that he thinks about it, he absent-mindedly wonders why the commandant acts like a father to them sometimes.
As he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep, he can imagine the commandant petting his head and lulling him to a wishful sleep.
He thinks, this idea of mixing squads isn't so bad afterall. Quite the found family setting... how nice.

[Library: Roseblade, Watanabe Nightblade, Chrome Archlight]
|— —|
Watanabe stepped foot into the library.
Don't get him wrong, he usually.. or basically never uses this frame when he's on Babylonia, but something in him said that this place was safe, ironically enough.
He looked around the... well, sea of bookshelves, the tall shelves reaching up to the ceiling.
You know, do you ever wonder how the commandant could even afford this?
He sighed and shook his head, looking around with his eyes before seeing that there was a counter nearby and a book log, probably to record what books had been borrowed.
....
...is that-
Y'know what, he won't question how the Gray Raven commandant managed to house another corrupted. He does faintly wonder if Babylonia knows about this though, but he'll keep his mouth shut for now...
He turned a corner and looked around the library, inspecting the books and seeing what was interesting.
'Fantasy, war, strategy, comedy... huh, all in one row? They should've organized this a little better..' he thought quietly as he glided his hand over the books, scanning each one of them for an interesting piece.
During his inspection, he does notice that in the corner of his eye, he sees someone laying down on one of the couches and reading a book.
The Strike Hawk captain? Seems like the fellow has a knack for books too.
He silently scoffed before returning back to his browsing, the library once again entering a peaceful silence of people minding their own business, a peace and silence that could rarely be found outside.
Roseblade tended to the library, given a new purpose.
Chrome read through his book, immersed in his hobby.
Watanabe browsed through the library, looking for something that matched his taste.
Just another day at the Gray Raven's library.
