[Midnight Hotel] February catch-all
Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: Month of February, 2016 (2017 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!
This month the Hotel’s wards are back up to snuff, thanks to the fog being blown off. Notably, the main doors open into all sectors once more – which is a relief to anyone who made a habit of using the Hotel for a shortcut. As always, the windows and garage doors still only open into Central.
There’s a sizeable flow of traffic in and out, mostly due to visitors from Hatal and their curiosity. Apparently it’s gotten around that the Hotel is magical and a common location for Foreigners and odd things, and as a result there’s a bit of a ‘tourist’ feel in the Hotel this month. Foreigners may find themselves being treated as novelties and asked to do magic, even if they aren't magical. The igheeri seem mostly interested in critiquing the architecture (for which they are too tall) and the sinayg can be found trying to listen to the magic in the walls (the exact sound of which is apparently a subject of hot debate), while the muin just seem to want to immerse themselves in the ‘culture’.
About mid-month Anton will toss out and ban a group of five Jagaiz fighters, to the surprise of no one who’s seen them for more than five minutes. They’re all the sort which are good enough at fighting to think they’re the best even though none of them are champions; low-grade braggers and bullies, essentially. Other, politer Jagaiz fighters who visit, if asked, will confirm that their lot isn’t particularly well-liked and their means of gaining sponsorship is a bit suspect.
None of the five suffer more than a few broken bones (and a concussion), and the loss of a few cheap items they forfeited by being forcibly shown the door.
Otherwise, for the observant, much of the furniture has been ‘labelled’ with small English or Chinese engravings in unobtrusive places – courtesy of River. Visitors from Hatal apparently find this ‘culture’ of naming possessions ‘delightful’. In other news, there’s a new kedan by the name of Dardul permanently residing at the Hotel. He’s a bit vacant with obvious memory issues, and is liable to forget people who talk to him; he’s regularly visited by Milyn and is under the care of another permanent resident, Malcil, who seems to prefer not to talk much with strangers himself.
In other other news, Anton can be seen wearing a colourful party hat all day on the 7th of the month, with bonus party tooter in his jacket pocket which he will absolutely use to greet Erskine every time they talk (while wearing a very bland expression).

"Are you trying to sneak peeks somewhere with that?" they asked, prodding just a bit out of concern and curiosity both.

Probably stolen.
"Just taking a look at Shuddering Delight with his pants down a little. Nothing to be concerned about, mate."
Taking the flower, John murmured something to the petals and then drew it back from his mouth. As he did, the bloom withered and drew in on itself. Dropping the dead thing on a side table, John hrmmed thoughtfully.
"Imagine that." And then to his audience - "Seems Mr Anton Shudder has a social disease. He should get a doctor to look at that."
The flower had told John no such thing, but far be it from him to take advantage of an opportunity. He couldn't help spitting at Authority.

Head tilted to the side, Casey squinted their eyes for the comment. "I kind of doubt a flower would know anything about that. Especially one that just died."
no subject
Constantine doubted this adult kid had any real idea what he was talking about, but that didn't stop him when he was on a roll. There would be hell to pay for this later, but that was for later. By then, he'd be well fortified in his room.
"If I did want to know, who should I ask? The walls keep telling me the same thing, and I'm not sure the chair down by the fire wants to talk about it. Bit of a traumatic experience, I think."
Kind smile and laughing eyes were sometimes his best guise when fishing for information.
no subject
"That's not really the kind of thing I ask about," Casey said with a bemused look. They were far from innocent when dealing with these sorts of things, but it was more a matter of propriety than maintaining virgin ears. How exactly did one go about snooping on one's boss, or caring enough to risk their job? "Maybe try the beds if you're so curious. Or the countertops."
no subject
Stepping away from the wall, John gave the kid a good look over. Thin, young and definitely not the sort that he should be involving in any of his plans unless he needed a gullible sort to do a tiny bit of dirty work for him. The sort that wouldn't get the kid into trouble right along with him.
"Well then, nice meeting you kid, and keep it on quiet my asking about Trembly. He's not much of one for curiosity. Gets a little shirty."
He picked up the flower, looking it over and considering what it might still be good for.
