After Rey and Kylo’s fight, and subsequent ejection from the Hotel, the Hotel is undergoing some repairs for the first part of the month. Although the clean-up happened well before June begins, the stairs and some of the furniture in particular needs some replacing. As a result, sitting areas in the lobby are a bit of a commodity this month and traffic upstairs is funnelled through the common-room staircase (which has the same magical conveniences as the main stairs, for those who need the stairs to not be stairs).

The wards are also being checked and fine-tuned, though Anton mostly does those after hours; even still, night owls will have some brief opportunities to see the arrays of multi-directional sigils in the walls which dictate the Hotel’s workings.

Anton is taking this opportunity to have a second console system installed beside the first; there is a partition between them, but they’re still generally open to the lobby. A small team of Metalworkers can thus be seen around the Hotel for the month, as they’re taking their time and using the opportunity to see whether they can figure out the undetermined error showing up in a handful of other consoles.

There are one or two instances of gang-members boasting about their new roles, which causes a few disagreements about authority; but for the most part these are smoothed over easily. In general, there’s fewer non-patrons lingering around the Hotel this month – though by no means is it empty – simply because many of them are also using the facilities offered by Dara Deis shelter. Especially because of the repairs, it’s easier to shift for a while.

Luckily, the kitchen was undamaged, so the restaurant will continue to be open in the evenings as usual!

The overtone in the Hotel this month is rather melancholy. Anton is back on full-time duty with his usual courtesy after the visitors have left, though he rarely smiles, unless looking at some particular pictures. There have been a few other notable changes.

For one thing, Anton will not wear his usual funeral-director’s suit this whole month. He will, in fact, wear colour. For the most part he wears a three-piece suit of understated purple, accompanied by various complementary shades in shirts and waistcoats. (It was a gift.) Occasionally he breaks out, grudgingly, a kedanese variant of a traditional three-piece suit, though admittedly still dark in tones.

For another thing, the tablet at the desk which habitually chimes with a perky voice is gone, but there are a multiple of photographs pinned to various places at reception (to say nothing of his private office). All of these photographs are of the same group of eight men—Anton included, as well as Erskine Ravel and Skulduggery Pleasant—in various states of handymanship, craftsmanship, and physical labour as they renovate a building (in various states of completion). None of the images are posed, and some of them have an air of wistful uncertainty, but others an air of unthinking camaraderie, where the laughter is free.

The third and possibly most noticeable change is that the resident janitorial cleaning faery, Erskine, has apparently moved out. It is for that reason that Anton is regularly not available in the late evenings, since someone has to check up on Erskine now he’s living on his own.

Other than that, the actual Hotel’s workings remain as normal. The restaurant begun in April is continuing with reasonable popularity, running a little more smoothly than it did in the beginning. There is slight tension in the kitchen, as some of the kedanese cooks work out the hierarchy, but it never reaches a point where Anton has to step in. Still, there are some jaundiced glares being thrown around the kitchen and dining hall.

Meanwhile, the sleeping-bags are packed up and stowed away, and the commons are returned to their usual states after having been appropriated for the giant slumber-party.
