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.]

"No," Tony hisses. But the accusation cuts deep. He hates that Solomon was there for his fight with Malicant. He hates that Solomon has somehow managed to crawl into his life and like this; always catching him at his most vulnerable, always weaseling his way into Tony's biggest fears and regrets and using them to humiliate him.

"I'll never be like him. You don't know anything about me. You just like to think you do. You think think being old and bitter and cynical means you know everything, but you know what? You're just as full of shit as Malicant was."

"Ah, the words of denial," Solomon said with a sigh. "You're the one who let Malicant talk. Enemies like him aren't dangerous because they lie, Stark; they're dangerous because they use the truth." He shrugged. "But, since you're so secure in your self-righteousness, go ahead and ignore me. I'm sure the people you inevitably hurt while clinging to your denial will forgive you."

A dozen retorts jump to Tony's mind. He chokes back all of them - barely. Because you know what, Solomon? Good fucking point. He let Malicant talk, and now he's letting Solomon talk, and really, there's no reason he should have put up with either of their hot air. Malicant took a few little snippets of truth and distorted them into a horrible lie, and Solomon seems pretty proficient at doing exactly the same thing.

Tony stares at Solomon for a full three seconds, cheeks flushed with anger. Then he snaps, "You're right. I don't have to listen to anything you say," yanks the door open, and stomps out. And slams the door behind him.

"Finally, some peace," Solomon muttered. Whether Stark actually paid any attention to Solomon or not remained to be seen, since, like all teens, he was intent on only listening to the parts he wanted and rejecting anything he didn't like.

Solomon put down his cup and headed for the shower. At least he was bloody well gone.
