[Midnight Hotel] Fourth-wall catch-all; 15-30 April 2016
Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: 15-30th April, 2016 (2017 in-game).
Location: The Midnight Hotel.
Situation: It’s the fourth-wall event and there’s a sudden influx of patrons! Feel free to use this post for anything that happens within the Midnight Hotel during the two weeks of the fourth-wall event, using the subject header to label specific rooms or for specific people. Regulars should feel free to continue using the non-fourth-wall Hotel post for pre-fourth-wall threads! See also the OOC note at the bottom.
Warnings/Rating: Mark your threads if content warnings become applicable, please!
Once more, it seems, the Dreaming has seen fit to lure in temporary residents. Luckily, the Hotel and its kedanese staff have done this before -- even accounting for the fact that it isn't exactly usual. If this goes on, they may start to predict the event!
It takes a day or so to sort things out, but once sorted the Hotel breaks out the same sleeping-bags as they had last time, and set aside as many areas of the common-room and even the lobby as sleeping areas. Any spare bed-rooms are also filled to the brim, though there aren't many of those these days.
The Hotel, like some of the other buildings around Keeliai, displays some occasional damage of the explosion-that-wasn't; in fact, seems to show it more obviously than most other places. Mostly it's cracks in frames or the smell of smoke in random areas, or some loose shingles; the worst that happens is the plumbing may be a bit unreliable until the wards can right themselves.
As before, Mr Shudder lets Foreigners without a soul-gem stay for free, as long as they follow the rules--which they are told upon entry. (Most notably, that's the 'no violence' rule.) Luckily, the new walk-in restaurant function means there's plenty to eat for everyone, and the cooking staff are on overtime this fortnight to make sure everyone is provided for.
Strangely, Mr Shudder himself is scarce for these two weeks. He does drop by in the evenings to make sure things are progressing well, but if anyone asks all he'll say is that some old friends have arrived and he and Erskine are helping them out elsewhere in the city. Anton will be around if anything untoward happens--but for the most part management is performed either by Anton's kedanese staff, or by Klaus von Reinherz.
[ooc: The Midnight Hotel’s status page is available here, with the rules at the top and ongoing status at the bottom. PLEASE PM ME IF YOUR CHARACTER WILL PERFORM A VIOLENT ACT. The Hotel is a neutral-zone and the proprietor is very strict as to acts of violence, and it will receive a response.
It will not be necessary for fourth-wall characters to officially check into the Hotel during the event.]

time to be dadte again
"Whatcha lookin' at?"
dadte is an A+ influence >w<
It is eating very quickly. It is strange.
[The corners of her mouth turn down as she tries to inspect it more closely]
It has been like this since the explosion, all over in different places.
Fantastic!
[Probably not something she has seen before, huh?]
Salt does that to metal. It's called corrosion. There must be a lot of it if it's eating it quickly like that.
[Well, that's what he thinks. Whether that's true or not, he doesn't know.]
Teach her the ways of pizza dadte
[She turned her pale eyes to Dante, still puzzled.]
Always the air tasted of salt. This metal was clean yesterday. Salt does not eat this quickly.
One day.
... Well, maybe there's something special about it. Magical, you know?
['Course, he's just throwing an assumption out into the wind. He doesn't really know]
Got any ideas why it's happening?
\o/
[She reached up, brushing away some of the rust.]
Why or how it does this, I do not know. But it feels strange.
no subject
The answer will come up soon, I imagine. [It always did for him, anyways.] Who's the, uh, snake man?
no subject
[She hesitated, having forgotten Tu Yunxu's name.]
The one who leads the snake family. There are many, always watching.
no subject
[After saying that, he's not sure if she would get that joke. Honestly, he probably sounds like a big nerd for even saying it. Sucks to be him right now...]
Anton's the guy who put up those sigils, isn't he? [That's what he remembers hearing, anyways.] Is he pretty knowledgeable on this sort of stuff?
no subject
[That joke sailed right over her head.]
Yes, I think they are an army for the snake man.
[She beamed, and gave a small nod.] Anton Shudder knows much. I think all the light in the walls is his work.
