Taped to the door under the room number is a emblem of sorts. It's a pair of concentric circles, with an image of a right hand over them. The posture of said hand is odd. The hand appears as if viewed from underneath the blade with the wrist down and fingertips up; the thumb, fore, and middle fingers are held straight upright; however, the ring and pinky fingers are curled down as if to make a fist.
When you enter, the common room is un surprisingly blank, with the exception of two wall scrolls of plain text. Each scroll displays a quote and its source in two languages, English and Japanese.
"In emptiness there is good but no evil. Wisdom exists, logic exists, the Way exists, when the mind is empty."
-- Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings --
"Deliberate errors and minor losses are the means by which to bait the enemy;
control and isolate their general, rattle his mind, and then strike."
-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War --
Other than that, there are three steel cases, two square 3x3 ft. and one rectangular 6x2 ft., placed in out-of-the-way corners where ones eyes seems to skim across them without comprehending their presence.
Other than that, there is little difference from any other room in the dorm. Two bedrooms stand open, while the third is shut and has a third wall scroll on its face proclaiming: PRIVATE TERRITORY! PROSECUTORS WILL BE VIOLATED!

Benjamin could feel the stare on his t-shirted back, as he finished sifting through his unpacked stuff. He looked over his broad shoulder and smiled wryly at the mousy little fellow who was peering at him through his propped-open door.
"Hey kid, no worries all right? I'm faculty, and this dorm's second RA. Whose the other?"
"Erm... that'd be Falconer-sensei... in 2-20."
Ben straightened up and turned to fully face the boy (who had to be fresh into 6th grade) and inclined his head. "Nameo wa Harris Benjamin."
The boy bowed, straightened up, and fidgeted. Benjamin smiled gently at his manners and said, "Not in the classroom yet, so save the formalities for then, ok?" And obliged the boy with a polite dismissal, knowing he'd be running to tell all his friends about the new gaijin teacher...
It was a good hour before the trickle of curious students had stopped. Fortunately for Benjamin, not one of his visitors tried his patience in any significant way. Rolling his shoulders, Ben shrugged on his long coat over his plain t-shirt, checked the pockets of his cargoes for his wallet, keys, and smartphone, then locked his room and headed out of the dorm to explore the campus...

Having thoroughly exhausted her floor, Keirin hopped down the stairs to the second floor, and ran face-first into the wall opposite it. 'Damn it.' Her eyes watered as she pulled out a slim pair of glasses for a moment, not putting them on, but simply ascertaining what rooms were where.
'Let's see... first room should be an RA of some sort..." Finding the door, she slid her glasses back into the pocket from which they came.
She examined the emblem on the door, and upon accidentally pushing it open, she shivered. 'Feels odd in here... like the room is almost dejected...'
Shaking her head, she backed away from the door, feeling a bit sad for never having met the owner.
'Ah well. Onward.'

Jared stopped in front of the unlocked door. "This one... An RA's room whose resident disappeared?" He waved off the tour guide and nosed his way in.
"I bet he left some cool stuff here..." He started exploring...
(Later, after claiming an empty room.)
"...I donno why, but... Even though this is someone else's turf, I feel comfortable here." Jared shrugged, and headed out.
