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.]

Not currently, no.

[He's curious exactly what kind of person he's going to be apologizing too, though. Aya has interacted with Zanru more, so she'll have a better sense of the woman. So far they seem to agree on "prejudiced, bitter, and unlikeable," but Tony hopes there's more to her than that. Because if there isn't, an apology is probably pointless.]
How do things look at SI? Is Zanru at least doing a decent job of running the place?
no subject
[However, the latter question did draw a reaction from her. Her head tilted slightly upward, eyes glazing over with memory as she recalled first impressions. They had been mixed, at best; the woman had been seen dismantling a robot of some kind. One might understand Aya's initial wariness at such a display, even in spite of the subsequent conversation and explanation.]
Her knowledge in many areas of science and technological advances is...inferior to ours.
[It wasn't a brag. Nor was it meant to be. Just the honest (slightly subjective) truth as she witnessed it.]
However, in our absence, she has done an adequate job of maintaining both structure and utilizing resources to the best of her abilities. There did not appear to be too many inconsistencies between what I witnessed during my initial visit, and how my memory banks recorded the layout before our year-long mission in the Dream realm.
no subject
"Inferior knowledge of science and technology"?] Obviously, [Tony says with a snort.] But as long as she's not running the place into the ground... It could be worse. It could be Stane.
[Wow, that actually makes him feel a little better. He may have lost his company, again, but at least it's not been turned into a factory for churning out weapons of mass destruction based on perversions of his inventions. Yay...?]
no subject
Yes. [In that yes, it could have been significantly worse. At least the company was still standing.] With time, I will attempt to regain access to their laboratories. Just as I once did.
[For all of Zanru's paranoia, that really was all Aya wanted. She wanted to continue her experiments and attempts at bettering the local technologies.]
no subject
Good luck to both of us, huh? [He smiles resignedly.] And... thanks. For not going off on me. And for getting where I'm coming from. Everybody else just yelled at me.
no subject
You are welcome.
