[Midnight Hotel] Fourth-wall catch-all; 15-30 April 2016

Characters: Anyone, everyone.
Date: 15-30th April, 2016 (2017 in-game).
Location: The Midnight Hotel.
Situation: It’s the fourth-wall event and there’s a sudden influx of patrons! Feel free to use this post for anything that happens within the Midnight Hotel during the two weeks of the fourth-wall event, using the subject header to label specific rooms or for specific people. Regulars should feel free to continue using the non-fourth-wall Hotel post for pre-fourth-wall threads! See also the OOC note at the bottom.
Warnings/Rating: Mark your threads if content warnings become applicable, please!

Once more, it seems, the Dreaming has seen fit to lure in temporary residents. Luckily, the Hotel and its kedanese staff have done this before -- even accounting for the fact that it isn't exactly usual. If this goes on, they may start to predict the event!

It takes a day or so to sort things out, but once sorted the Hotel breaks out the same sleeping-bags as they had last time, and set aside as many areas of the common-room and even the lobby as sleeping areas. Any spare bed-rooms are also filled to the brim, though there aren't many of those these days.

The Hotel, like some of the other buildings around Keeliai, displays some occasional damage of the explosion-that-wasn't; in fact, seems to show it more obviously than most other places. Mostly it's cracks in frames or the smell of smoke in random areas, or some loose shingles; the worst that happens is the plumbing may be a bit unreliable until the wards can right themselves.

As before, Mr Shudder lets Foreigners without a soul-gem stay for free, as long as they follow the rules--which they are told upon entry. (Most notably, that's the 'no violence' rule.) Luckily, the new walk-in restaurant function means there's plenty to eat for everyone, and the cooking staff are on overtime this fortnight to make sure everyone is provided for.

Strangely, Mr Shudder himself is scarce for these two weeks. He does drop by in the evenings to make sure things are progressing well, but if anyone asks all he'll say is that some old friends have arrived and he and Erskine are helping them out elsewhere in the city. Anton will be around if anything untoward happens--but for the most part management is performed either by Anton's kedanese staff, or by Klaus von Reinherz.


[ooc: The Midnight Hotel’s status page is available here, with the rules at the top and ongoing status at the bottom. PLEASE PM ME IF YOUR CHARACTER WILL PERFORM A VIOLENT ACT. The Hotel is a neutral-zone and the proprietor is very strict as to acts of violence, and it will receive a response.

It will not be necessary for fourth-wall characters to officially check into the Hotel during the event.]

"No big deal for me," Bruce says suddenly nervous again, "nothing I really want to go back to anyway." He ran away from his friends...from Natasha....he couldn't go back without upsetting everyone even if he wanted to go back. He'd miss Nat for the rest of his life, but she deserved much, much better then he could ever give her.

"Okay, Dr. Debbie Downer." Tony gives Bruce an amused and quizzical smile. "What's such a bummer in your universe that you don't even want to go back? Because then I've got some more bad news for you - I meant 'indefinite' like 'no one knows when we'll get zapped back home,' not like 'permanent.' There's a bunch of us here - they call us Foreigners - and it's pretty much random when we appear and disappear. We don't know how to control it. You could be here for years, or just a couple weeks. And from our perspective, time is stopped in our universes. When you go back, it'll be like you were never gone."

Bruce can't help the eye roll at Tony's nickname.It's a familiar thing and he's secretly grateful. "Ultron," he says calmly, "Ultron happened and I had to make a choice. Now I'm not sure I've made the right one." He sighs. "I hope you never have to deal with a mistake like mine."

"Well, that sounds dramatic. And kinda cryptic. What's Ultron?" And Bruce, how can you possibly have made a bigger mistake than Tony Stark, the patron saint of Bad Ideas and Terrible Mistakes?

"Ultron is a sentient AI I created with my version of you," Bruce admitted, "it went about as well as you could have expected."

highprofilerichkid: (uM WHAT)

Oh, yes, Bruce, Tony can guess exactly how well that went.

"Seriously? Another one?" He makes an exasperated exclamation and throws up his hands. "Let me guess: it went evil and tried to end the world."

Honestly, at this point, people should probably just stop letting him use computers at all.

Bruce nodded. "Exactly that," he said, "We barely managed to stop it and even then we didn't come off looking too well."

Tony sighs and rubs his forehead. "I guess I should probably ask what happened, so I know what not to do." For a moment, he looks upset and frustrated (how does this keep happening), but he pushes those emotions away and replaces the frown with a wry smile. "...but maybe not right now. I bet you have loads of questions. How long have you been here?"

"Less then a day I think," Bruce replied softly, "at least I think l it's been less then a day. I came here after an incident so my sense of time is a mess."

highprofilerichkid: (how can you resist that smile)

It takes Tony a second to figure out what Bruce means, and then he says, "...A Hulk 'incident'?" He nods knowingly. "Well, if you just got here, we should get you set up with a place to stay. Have you found the Welcome Center or the Hotel yet?"

Tony would offer to let him stay at his house but... Bruce is an adult. Like a real, adulty adult. He probably doesn't want to hang out with a house full of kids in their early twenties.

Besides, the Hotel is right around the corner, and you can't beat that for convenience.
