[Midnight Hotel] April catch-all
Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: Month of April, 2016.
Location: The Midnight Hotel.
Situation: Catch-all post! Feel free to use this post for anything that happens within the Midnight Hotel during the month of April, using the subject header to label specific rooms or for specific people. See also the OOC note at the bottom.
Warnings/Rating: None thus far.
The last month has seen some new faces, including a young man by the name of Yuri who’s taking over the Hotel’s breakfasts. Thanks to a suggestion by Skulduggery Pleasant, there is now a sheet on the desk for newcomers to write their names and languages—an informal Foreigner census sheet, as it were.
There is also a new feature in the lobby—a birdhouse with a peppermint-fragranced candle on the porch and an owl tucked inside to project the nest. It’s hung from the balcony over the desk, and in fact its presence there has dissolved some tensions among the kedan which had not been readily apparent until they were gone. If anyone asks, the kedan will freely explain that a house-guardian traditionally protects a homestead against nightmares, bad luck and ill-will. Fighting under the eye of a house-guardian is Very Bad Luck, even if fighting in the Hotel wasn’t bad luck already.
The garage is also newly opened, shiny and bright and still smelling of steel and brick from the construction. The Bentley has claimed her rightful place inside it, but be careful about touching her; her owner is possessive. There is a sign-up sheet at the front desk for the four fee-based work-spaces now available there. They’re medium-sized and in cubicles against the wall, with some space underneath for storage and power outlets. Chairs are bring-your-own. There are also storage spaces on the other wall, for those who’d like to lock their things away somewhere more private.
In general, however, the Hotel is running quite smoothly and more and more the kedan are relaxed about being there. Those who are regulars are less likely to call it ‘the Foreigner’s hotel’ and more likely to call it by its name, in passive recognition of its place in the city at large rather than as a representative of the outsiders.
[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 OR A JOB. Anton will manufacture means of payment until Foreigners are able to properly offer recompense or choose to move out.

I'M RETCONNING THE THING BECAUSE NOT SURE IF MICROWAVES OK
Uh....uh. Just a busted AC unit. I thought maybe I could gut it for parts, or...I dunno. [A shrug. His eyes go in the general direction of the bench he spotted it at, but not for long.] Forget it.
WHEN IN DOUBT crazy dream thing
frankly, he's pretty sure Hiro can find some things in here that he might have overlooked, so it's worth investigating in his opinion]
no subject
[He has to take a second to get his bearings and remember which direction he came from, but once he figures it out he leads Callaghan back to the seller he originally stopped at. May as well keep that hand on his shoulder. Or see if anybody's selling a kiddie harness and a leash.
He stops a short distance away, so as not to draw any attention or hassle from the vendor yet, but the unit's still there. He nudges Callaghan and points.]
See? It looked like it was in pretty good condition, except the front mesh had a hole in it. There's gotta be parts in there that'd work for other things.
no subject
he steers Hiro away without a word, at least until they're out of earshot and able]
We'll swing around on the way back, but for now it's better just to remember where it is. I doubt it'll move by the time we get a better look at what's here, and decide if we do want it after all.
this thread is OOOOLD and we can wrap it up soon if you want, assume they bought things and shopping
So he plays along and looks wholly disinterested as they steer away, busying himself looking around at what else is available.]
You're probably right. That dude was totally gonna rip us off.
[Alright, so, he's not totally inattentive.]
