[Midnight Hotel] October catch-all

Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: Month of October, 2015 (2016 in-game).
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!

The Hotel clears out this month – what with the weather cooling down, many of the patrons who had been finding respite from the heat no longer need to do so. Windows are kept open and linens are aired. The result is that the Hotel seems roomier and far less bustling, and it’s an opportunity to relax for the staff. Mostly. Somewhat.

Though there are fewer patrons this month than before, there are a number of gang-kedan holding little workshops for the building of spirit houses or little planterboxes. These are primarily for impoverished kedan who can’t afford their own materials (which are provided), but anyone is willing to help out or ask for advice, and donations are welcome! The most notable thing about these little workshops is that they are, quite frequently, being run by kedan from different or even rivalling gangs, working together.

The spider infestation has tapered off, but there’s some new signs in the kitchen stating that the only free ingredients provided by the Hotel are on two very specific shelves in the cupboard and in one of the fridges. (Not including the food cooked by Yuri, or pre-cooked into packages by Anton.) There’s also a sign asking anyone who sees Klaus and Raine in the kitchen together to please alert the Hotel staff, as this will result in a health hazard.

There’s also a very loud and obvious newcomer to the Hotel – someone some might recognise from the network. Rue is loud, brash and always appears in old-style frock-coat, breeches and heels, all brightly coloured and perfectly representing a period-era dandy. He’s also got a taste for massive wide-brimmed hats and facial rouge, and is mostly obvious due to his English accent and outrageous flirting, and the fact he apparently knows Anton. Fortunately, he doesn't spend a significant amount of time around the Hotel, and frequently goes out on the town to explore (and flirt).

"I had hoped that he would forget that Skulduggery and I had even been there," she said, echoing his sentiments, "But Skulduggery gave him a note telling him to come here and ask for us should he be contacted again..."

She had disagreed with that decision, better for Dardul and them if the kedan had forgotten their visit. But if Anton was correct, and Dardul was already marked, or someone else saw them, then he wasn't safe.

"I didn't think there was an immediate danger," she admitted. "And then with the Chihuelans...that's why I didn't tell you sooner...If they are that ruthless and think he's compromised, he might already be dead."

But Milyn would have told her, right?

If Dardul was under suspicion of being compromised, then it might be best if she wasn't spotted anywhere near the area. She hoped he wasn't dead, but she also had to know if he was.

"It might be best if someone else went," she said finally, "I don't want them to think that he's a threat."

She picked up a pen, grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote down the address, before looking back up at him, "Just, let me know what they find..."

"Yes," she replied, watching him memorize the address and then crumple the paper. "I would appreciate that."

It would keep Dardul safer if no foreigners were seen interacting with him and she'd rather the information come to her before anyone else.

"Thank you."

There were very few left that she truly cared for and she wasn't going to let anyone hurt those who remained. She was nothing if not stubborn. She smiled softly, "Hounds are nothing if not loyal, perhaps to a fault."

She nodded, "I won't and no, nothing else."

She could care for herself and others just fine, it was simply that she was more used to caring for herself over others that made it difficult to do both at once.

"Take care," she said as she turned to leave."
