[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.]

Klaus one of the old books Anton had asked him to translate back on its shelf. While he had other duties ad concerns, he still picked them up now and then to help settle his mind and relax a bit.

"Not that I've seen, though I've only been here nine months," he said, and selected another.

"Though from what I've heard, it has happened before, at around the same time last year."

"Interesting. Something like a solstice perhaps? I imagine it must have something to do with the planes, the dreaming and death. Perhaps it signifies a particular overlap or change. Perhaps that means the planes are tied with the sun as well."

"Possibly," Klaus agreed. "It's not a hypothesis to be discounted. Still, some good has come of it. Mr Shudder seems content."

He smiled a little to himself, flipping through the contents of the old log-books. Familiar earth languages stood out to him and there was, as always, a brief pang of homesickness.

"Friends of his?" It was good he was meeting people. She got her own pang of loneliness, sad that the Lotus had not visited. It was hard not to feel abandoned when so many others had friends here.

"Something of the sort," Klaus said with a nod. "Things seem to be complicated, but..." He smiled a small, private smile to himself.

"...Ah, they will be fine."

"...is there cause to think otherwise?"

Klaus nodded. "I believe the turn of phrase for their particular situation is 'it's complicated'. But I trust Mr Shudder to keep things in check."
