[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.]

Erskine's question gave him a pause, like he was thinking over how to best answer, as he retook his seat next to the man. "I wouldn't say study, no. Shudder asked me to take a look at some of the wards on the Hotel, shortly after he and it arrived. Almost a year ago, now. Or two years ago, if you count the year they spent in the Dreaming. I stopped in to see what the fuss about the Hotel was, got the standard speech upon entry with an extra emphasis on what happens to thieves, and he asked what an Egyptian would see in a section he'd been working on."
And then for context, since he didn't know if Erskine would make the connection, Bakura added, "Hieroglyphics and sigils are built and written in much the same way. Newer languages get too caught up on direction and form, but it's the patterns in them that I see. As thanks for the assistance, he showed me how to make a few simple ones. There were a few other times after that, but things with Malicant came to a head not long after."
It was strange, because before the final battle with Malicant -- and before Bakura had gone back to his world, and lost the Memory RPG -- he and Anton had been on decent terms. Bakura didn't trust him, but he'd not felt overly intimidated by him, even knowing about the gist, by Anton's own description. Hell, Anton had given him Christmas socks.
But then he'd come back to Keeliai in the state he'd been in, against his will, and everything had felt off. Anton's steadfast neutrality had morphed into an ugly thing for him to deal with, in the months where Bakura had desperately felt the need to shore himself up against everything. So he'd just stopped coming around the Hotel at all, and dropped the perusal of sigils entirely, in an effort to minimize the time spent around the Hotel's proprietor, when he felt like his guard always needed to be at its highest.
