[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.

[. . . Okay, Mike, your storytelling skills could use work. And your climax? Questionable at best. And you're getting both of Toph's eyebrows working in wry skepticism.]

[But still . . . the sword. Sliding off her perch enough so that her feet contact the ground, Toph reaches for it, fingers sliding over the scabbard. She likes the feel of it. It feels used, worn by fingers over time, but well cared for. Feels like a piece of Leonardo . . . and in spite of herself, the smallest of smiles turn the corners of her mouth.]


Thanks. [She withdraws her hand, that small smile remaining.] For showing me.

[That does mean a lot to her. Quite a bit.]

[Mike's storytelling is just fine, thank you very much! He just...knows he's not one of Toph's favorite people, so he's trying to keep it brief.]

[He routinely fails at keeping things brief.]

[Now is no exception.]

[His own smile freezes somewhat as she pulls her hand back. Doesn't she get it? Doesn't she get that he's giving this to her?]


You're welcome?
Do...do you not want it?

[Sharp blinking at that. A lot of it.]

[No, she doesn't get it. Or didn't. It's incomprehensible.]


. . . Aren't you his brother? Or cousin? Or something?

You don't just give that kind of thing to a stranger.

[Why would you . . . ?]

You're not a stranger.

[Doubtful Mike is doubtful.]

I mean, we're not exactly what I'd call tight, but you were a student of Leo. That's Clan Levels of family right there. And besides...swords aren't really given so much as they're bestowed and earned.
