[Midnight Hotel] Fourth-wall catch-all; 15-30 April
Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: 15-30th April, ‘2016’.
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!
The Midnight Hotel is a magical place—which is fortunate, because Keeliai has magically doubled the number of patrons the Hotel is capable of holding. Where else is capable of catering to an extra fifty Foreigners? the kedan say. Where else would want to?
Unfortunately, for all the Hotel’s many qualities and all the proprietor’s many skills, he can’t conjure up enough rooms for fifty extra people on no notice.
The solution: giant slumber party.
For the next two weeks the ground-floor common-area and the dining-area beside the garage have been repurposed as sleeping areas. Blankets, sheets, pillows, bean-bags, sleeping-bags—Mr Anton Shudder has gone, quite literally, to town in order to cater to the new arrivals. No one is going to be uncomfortable, except by the prospect of sleeping so close to strangers—but there isn’t much to be done about that. The very few rooms still available have been reserved for those who well and truly require the privacy.
Catering is a little more difficult. Suffice to say Mr Shudder is outsourcing for a good part of the fortnight.
On the plus side, Mr Shudder is gracious enough to let those without a soul-gem stay for free. As long as, of course, they Follow The Rules, which are told to every newcomer nearly as soon as they’re welcomed through the door.
Although Anton does attend the festival, he can be regularly found throughout the Hotel for anyone who has questions or concerns. He will, most of the time, be dogged by a bouncy fellow with an indefatigable grin, and it won’t be uncommon to hear variations of the following conversation:
“Hey, Anton—”
“No.”
“You didn’t even—”
“No.”
“Excuse me, I was just going to say—”
“Absolutely not.”
“Anton, hey Anton, hey hey Anton?”
“No.”
And so it goes.
[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.]

"Yes! Those. Anyone without one can stay here for free, and I'm not sure, but I think we get the same deal for a meal, too." Which sounds wonderful. He hadn't eaten all day, and... well, he didn't get this gut from bad genetics.
He's already turned and scanning the room when he addresses Robert again. "So, Robert -- what's your specialty? Anything you concentrate on in science, or a little bit of everhthing?"

Some his own.
Others...well.

Still getting the hang of it finally registers in Tom's mind after another moment, and the smile broadens, the spark of excitement simmering down into a calmer, warm gaze. Perhaps this time around he'd found someone whose technology hadn't quite caught up to his own world's, but, well -- but he was certain Robert's world had something amazing he could share.
"Robotics are my specialty as well," he says, stepping closer to his new friend. "Robotics and artificial intelligence. I'm afraid now I can't let you leave until I've heard all about your work."
His tone is playful, and if Robert truly does want to leave he could dismiss it as a joke. But Tom can't hide that eager look in his eyes, like a child on Christmas Eve.
