[re: Help, I'm talking to Lup and she's telling me she's on staff, what am I allowed to say here, I can't talk for long or it will be so suspicious. Why is she allowed to tell people and I'm not?]
Oh, boy.
Right now because of your contract addendum you can't say anything. As for her - it sounds like she may have asked a specific question and gotten a specific answer, and I'd assume it's a recent thing or else she would have told you sooner?

Ugh. Okay. But I notice the contract addendum says I can't tell anyone other than Hotel Staff, does it not?
May I...tell someone? Or amend the contract to be permitted to tell someone?

[ when harrow rings the bell, out comes aquila! there's a swirl of shadows at the desk, and they appear leaning against it, holding the little earrings. ]
Very good trinket. [ and down their sleeve they go. ] Getting pretty good at this tip thing. How're you, Harrow? Just come to chat?
Very good trinket. [ and down their sleeve they go. ] Getting pretty good at this tip thing. How're you, Harrow? Just come to chat?
...Yes, I suppose so. [she's chewing on her lip, a bit tense, but she shrugs.] I have no particular purpose summoning you.
[cetus shows up!]
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
Hello. [she's chewing on her lip, a bit tense.] Um, I have no particular purpose summoning you. I simply wondered if you would want to speak again.
[harrow rings the bell and gemini appears in a swirl of shadows, thumbing through the book at a slow pace.]
Good morning, Miss Nonagesimus. A bit of light reading? [thanks for the book.]

Perhaps it will be useful. Perhaps not.

How are you faring this week?

Ah. I'm pleased you like it. I know very little of horticulture.
[ re: Would you please give me a task that can be ideally accomplished at curfew? That way it will be complete if I die. ]

[re: Did you watch? What did you think?]
[a message comes through.]
I did.
I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of headway you made.
You even ID'd a correct culprit with time to spare.

...you did, though. Otherwise, how would they have ended up in the cart?
Yes. I thought maybe it was different this week. There was evidence of a murder, so perhaps I couldn't remember what I found.
[harrow rings the bell and there's a long moment of silence. she's alone with her cracker. she waits at the desk.
eventually, a voice chimes in behind her.]
So...how are we doing this morning? [it is probably not morning anymore.]

And you?

[shadows appear behind harrow before dispersing, leaving behind lepus with one hand on their hip in a casual posture.]
Well, this is a surprise. Did you need something?

[virgo appears out of shadows. they do not have the glass of blood with them. maye they're saving it as a snack for later?]
Did you need something...

Not hungry? I learned from Yoo Joonghyuk that you may be a cannibal. I thought you might enjoy human blood more than animal meat.

That might be best, if you would come to my room. I am meant to lie down.

Good afternoon, Miss Nonagesimus. How may I assist you?

[honestly if they're bothered by the blood at all it doesn't show]
Do you happen to know where I might be able to find a shovel?
[it's not an instantaneous response - but wherever harrow happens to be about fifteen, twenty minutes after ringing the bell, a shadow portal opens up and virgo appears.]
What.
What.
Sheila asked me to give you some of her belongings.
[she's got - idk how sheila had it, i think a cooler? of human remains?]
Maybe you could hold onto these for...later?

Eating people and collecting their bones, something we both enjoy.

Hey, Harrow. What... are these.

[vulpecula appears out of shadows! they've got a wineglass with some of the wine from harrow's bottle in one hand, and a glass of water with a lil bit of lemon in it in the other. they hold the water out to harrow.]
You called?
[ :3 ]
You called?

[after a few moments, lepus opens the door to their room.
