[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.
[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, JOB OR AREA IN THE GARAGE, OR ARE MOVING OUT. Anton will manufacture means of payment until Foreigners are able to properly offer recompense or choose to move out.]

[She scoots to make room for him to sit if he wants.] Don't know too much about the rest of it. But the music's pretty good, and the cake is even better.

[he moves over to sit]

Company's good now.
[A pause. She's not sure she wants to go where she's thinking of next . . . and yet she does. Maybe even needs to. Because of all people, Iroh is one who will get it.]
[Her tone sobers, feet scuffing lightly across the ground as she hesitates.]
How are you doing . . . ? You know. Without . . .
[She doesn't say the name -- hopes he knows it without her having to say it aloud.]
no subject
[Iroh paused, considering this, turning his teacup over in his hands]
But I must say, I liked having him close by. He is good company.
[A change from the angry young man he had been. It reassured Iroh so much, but it made him miss Zuko more; he wanted to know his older, more mature, nephew and see what he'd become.]
[Also, Wan trying to impress Iroh as a potential in-law had been endearing.]
no subject
. . . Kind of big now with only two of us.
[She's quiet, holding her plate between both hands. She's not sure exactly what she wants to say . . . or how she wants to say it. But she wants to say something . . . give some kind of voice to what's churning around inside.]
How . . . do you deal with it? Him . . . gone, I mean.
no subject
[Iroh sighed]
The same way you deal with anything else. One day at a time.
[It's not a specific answer, but there's a thousand things he could say. And it's a lot of very specific things. Like reminding himself that it was just like when he worked in Ba Sing Sei and Zuko was in the Fire Nation. Just even harder to visit.]
no subject
[It lasts only for a moment.]
Zuko, Wan, Katara. Sokka. They're all gone now.
But me . . . I'm still here.
[Her lips press together, and she's quiet for a long moment. In that moment, she almost looks smaller . . . like she's pulled inward on herself.]
I don't know how to take that "one day at a time."
[It's the sort of thing she can only admit to a few people. She gives it to him without question.]
