[Midnight Hotel] July catch-alll

Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: Month of JULY, 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, using the subject header to label specific rooms or for specific people. See also the OOC note at the bottom.
Warnings/Rating: Mark your threads if content warnings become applicable, please!

Though the attack on Anton and Jintou occurred outside of the Hotel, its effects can nevertheless be seen on the Hotel’s runnings during July. Jintou is absent, in the first place, though Anton keeps his room in the event he’s found.

For the last few days of June and the first couple days of July Anton is preoccupied with rebuilding the shops he damaged in his attempt to stop Jintou from being taken, and therefore a good deal of the Hotel’s daily running is in the hands of his staff and a handful of trusted ex-gang kedan.

Within the first few days of the month Anton’s health takes a nosedive. Though the chronic condition discovered by Raine and Tony wasn’t previously active, the poisoning attempt apparently changed that and for the rest of this month Anton is under enforced bed-rest—or if not bed-rest then an enforced holiday. For that reason, any and all offers to help out with maintenance, cleaning, cooking, accounting and other daily chores at the Hotel will be welcomed.

Provided, that is, that no one minds the Hotel proprietor hovering over their shoulders—when he isn’t being sat on by a giant wolf to make sure he doesn’t overtax himself.

Hotel rules are, obviously, still in effect.

"If those are the same books Ravel's been in charge of," said Skulduggery, "then I'm not surprised."

A little unfair, given that Skulduggery didn't exactly have reason to believe Erskine wasn't proficient with numbers. But he stood by the statement anyway. Either he hadn't quite worked over his grudge yet, or - and the thought was a frightening one - he'd slipped back into the old Dead Men habit of teasing whoever possible at every opportunity.

Perhaps not such a frightening thought.

"Couldn't be better," he answered automatically. "You wouldn't happen to know if Ravel's moved the polish, have you? It should be in the garage, but he might have hidden it to spite me."

"I was at least given some forewarning before Mr Shudder showed me the books," Klaus remarked. "Though if you find any receipts from the last three weeks around, I'd greatly appreciate if they were brought to the front desk."

At Skulduggery's question, Klaus looked around the dining hall as if it would pop into view any moment. You never know.

"Ah, I'm afraid not. Though, I didn't know there was a garage at all."

He wondered what could possibly in it. Tools perhaps. Unused tacky lawn ornaments? Maybe. Anton seemed the type.

"Oh, there's a garage," Skulduggery assured him. "We needed a place to keep my car. It's since been co-opted as research and lab space, but it still primarily serves as a place to keep my car."

That's what it was built for, after all. Anton had agreed to the venture with minimal persuasion, largely because it wasn't Skulduggery's fault the Bentley slipped into Keeliai, and partly because Skulduggery had offered to pay for the necessary materials.

"Good luck with the books," he said with a wave. "I'll be sure to return any stray receipts."

"My thanks, Mr Pleasant," Klaus replied with a bow. Ever and always the gentleman.

He wasn't entirely sure what to think of a walking skeleton. Skulduggery certainly seemed to live up to his surname at least, and Klaus really wasn't one to judge people for having 'extenuating circumstances'.

"If you're going for a drive, I do hope it's a safe one. And it was nice to meet you in person." He narrowly avoided the phrase 'in the flesh' like a damn boss.

"Not a drive, no," Skulduggery said. "Just a polish. That's why I'm looking for the polish, and not my car keys. Although I wouldn't have to look for my car keys either, since I always keep them in the same place."

He hadn't gone for a drive on his own in a while, though. Keeliai wasn't built for cars like the Bentley, which took some of the fun out of the experience; maybe it was about time Skulduggery tried again. He tipped his hat in response to Klaus's sentiment and turned to leave the man to Ravel's misplaced antics.
