[Background Information] Common Room Layout
« on: July 13, 2013, 12:48:40 PM »
The Klyk Vampira common room is entirely underwater, surrounded at all sides by thick, magically re-enforced glass walls that allow the students to look directly out into the deep sea, and at any wildlife that swim by. The common room is circular in shape with no true corners. Immediately after entering, on the left is the staircase to the boys’ dormitories, while the staircase to the girls’ quarters is on the right. In the middle, right between the boys’ and girls’ quarters, one can find the befälhavare’s dormitory, which is protected through a several charms only known by the student holding the position and the Head of House.

In the common room, warming charms are also kept up by the school staff to ensure a comfortable temperature, even in winter, though there is no fireplace in the common room. The furniture inside the residence is modern in design and quite lavish and comfortable. In the centre of the main chamber there is a small staircase leading down into an enclosure with wooden walls, and a ring of sofas — for those who prefer to sit without the distraction of the water around them. There are multiple light fixtures providing soft light that can be dimmed or increased by the Head of House depending on the event going on inside the common room.

Around this enclosure there are several sections with desks, for working, and couches for lounging. There are tall bookshelves that curve with the room on the outside of the desks with multiple old textbooks, novels, and various other type of books — give one,  take one. There are also lock-boxes on some of the shelves where students may put private items, and each lock has only one key. If the key is lost, the student must reach out to their Head of House for access into the locker.

Continuing clockwise is the Tsar/Tsaritza dorm followed by the third and fourth-year dorms and the first and second-year dorms. On the other side of the floor are the dormitories of the fifth, sixth, and seventh years. Each separate dormitory holds three students to a room and, as such, each year is partnered up with another student of their year. Lavatories are situated inside all dormitory groupings.
