[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.]

Amon reached under his collar and pulled at the black leather cord around his neck. A pendant with a blue gem of lapis lazuli lay in a circle of silver, dangling as he held it up.
"The woman who found me told me to hold on to this, though I'm not exactly sure what it's for."

"I don't want to stay here. Where are the others going? If the answer is 'home' I'd very much like to join them."
no subject
"If its any consolation, I've been told that our time spent here seems to occur in some type of abnormal universe that is largely irrelevant to we come from. IF and when we return, nothing will have changed, and our memories of this place will not persist."
"For all intents and purposes... you're dreaming."
no subject
That wasn't precisely reassuring to Amon. If he were dreaming, he wanted to wake up. He wanted nothing to do with this place, he wanted to persist his true life. He imagined many others were in the same boat as him... Which meant no one had found a reliable way to get out of this yet.
"You're saying the best I can hope for is to simply wait until I wake up, so to speak. And that could take... how long, exactly?"
no subject
"There is one woman here, Zatanna, who works at the welcome center. She has been here for as long as foreigners have been summoned to the turtle. Several years."
no subject
Even if that was the worst case scenario, it looked like Amon had no choice but to stick around and live with it.
"How do you bring yourself to care about this place? Knowing that one day you'll simply wake up and forget it?"
