The Midnight Hotel January catch-all

Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: Month of January, 2016
Location: The Midnight Hotel
Situation: Catch-all post! Feel free to use this post for anything that happens within the Midnight Hotel over the month of January, using the subject header to label specific rooms or for specific people. Please also see the OOC note at the bottom.
Warnings/Rating: None thus far.

The Midnight Hotel was among the few buildings which showed no sign of having been damaged by the invasion six months ago. That followed, of course; the Hotel hadn't even been present. But either way it stood out, and many of the kedan knew by now that the building, so different from the architecture of the rest of the city, was a safe-haven. Too many mistook it as a Foreigner safe-haven alone, but not all; even now there was usually one or two kedan present.

Some of them were gang-members, ones with whom Anton had forged closer relationships before the Foreigners' year-long disappearance or simply those who chose to visit in defiance of the general public's opinion.

Anton had taken great pains to give the Foreigners structure and normalcy. While the means of payment were, in some cases, not much more than an illusion, he gave as much in the way of purpose as he could. As a result there were now many Foreigners on staff at the Hotel, though of course the rules were still in strict effect. Anton himself was readily available at most given moments if needed for assistance, questions or otherwise.

There was also an oddity in the lobby: a construction in one of the corners where a long bank of three public consoles was being built. The Metalworkers responsible for its construction were generally taciturn and more concerned with their work than with interactions, but they didn't seem worried about being observed or by the close proximity of the Foreigners.


[ooc: The Midnight Hotel's status page is available here, with the rules at the top and ongoing status at the bottom. PLEASE POST TO THE STATUS PAGE IF YOUR CHARACTER WOULD LIKE A ROOM. Anton will manufacture means of payment until Foreigners are able to properly offer recompense or choose to move out, so you can assume they're 'paying' in some method.

If you have a specific job for your character to do around the Hotel (eg working the kitchen, security, house chores) please also note that so I can keep track of Anton's casual staff.]

Well, when she put it like that, how could he deny a lady her command? Solomon pushed himself upright and picked up his pillow, shaking his head wryly.

"If you insist," he said lightly, finding a place to put the pillow and the edge of the covers, and sliding underneath them--though slow enough to allow Raine time to adjust for his presence there, and dictate where he was allowed to move into the bed. For his part Solomon was fairly accustomed to sharing a bed with a woman, since owing to the relative openness of relationships within the Temple there was no need to sneak away before morning; but he hadn't had the impression that Raine was entirely used to the company abed.

His impression had been, for the most part, correct; Solomon was the first adult male she'd had cause or desire to share a bed with in several years. It was just a shame she was too tired to properly appreciate his presence. Raine shifted a little more as Solomon settled himself, to make sure he had room, but that did not last long, and shortly thereafter she had dropped her head back to her own pillow and closed her eyes. "I insist," she said, meant it to be firm though it came out more tired than anything else.

And that, as far as she was concerned, was that. Raine curled against Solomon's side, one hand resting lightly on his chest in a wholly unconscious gesture, born of the unguarded space closest to sleep. Barring any further interruptions, that peace would see her to sleep soon enough.

It was rather endearing, how firm Raine could try to be while being utterly exhausted. It made Solomon smile, genuinely if tiredly, and he lay back into the pillows and closed his eyes. Already, this was worlds more comfortable.

One thing to which Solomon was not accustomed was prolonged close contact after certain ... activities. Of course, the bed was much smaller than the one he had at the Temple or in his house in Dublin, so it made sense they would have to be closer--but still, it was a surprise. After a moment Solomon lay the hand caught between them across his chest and didn't disturb her, and closed his eyes.

In spite of the unfamiliarity, it wasn't uncomfortable. Without any reason for further interruptions, Solomon too found sleep that night.
