[not long after the bell is rung, vulpecula appears behind sheila, calmly sipping at the can of starlight j*ngle juice.]
Thanks! I think we could all use some refreshments after... um, that. Did you get something to drink for yourself, too?

[a few moments after sheila dings the bell, there's a coalescing of shadows from nearby, and out steps orion! they take their starlight c*ke and put it in their sleeve.]
Hello, Mrs. Hammond. How are you faring, after earlier?

A little annoyed, actually. Thanks for asking. I killed a guy and I didn't even get to feel the tingle before his body got up and walked off on its own.
[She has been ripped off. :( The worst. But also— she looks a little worried, all of a sudden?]
... I didn't bite him. I mean, I don't remember biting him. Did I bite him? I don't taste any blood in my mouth.

[a few moments after sheila rings the bell, shadows converge on the other side of the desk - and out steps virgo, who is shoving what looks and smells like french fries under their veil in between sips of starlight c*ke]
I was in the middle of a meal! Fuck!
[hi]

[at first when sheila rings the bell, nothing happens.
and that seems to be the case for a short bit. but after a lull, she'll soon hear a voice behind her.]
Hello, Mrs. Hammond. [the bottle of c*ke is in their hand, so it seems the tip was received.] Is there something I can help you with?

[when sheila rings the bell, shadows appear behind her. lepus is here!]
What do you want?
What do you want?
[not long after the bell is rung, shadows begin to swirl near the front desk and gemini steps out from them. their hands are folded behind their back as they stop, though they do eye the bottle of c*ke.]
Good evening, Mrs. Hammond. How may I assist you?

[when sheila rings the bell, shadows appear in front of her, from which emerges cetus. when they speak, there's an odd, almost muffled quality to their voice.]
Do you require assistance?

[ when the bell rings, the shadows coalesce right by sheila! out comes aquila - they've got the starlight spr*te, which they regard for a moment before setting it on the counter. i forgot to mention they have a cute little pin on their collar. ]
Mrs. Hammond! How can I help you?

Aquila! You know, no matter how many times I see you guys do the big shadowy thing, it never stops being kind of cool. I wish I could make a dramatic entrance like that.
[She glances at Starlight Spr*te on the counter.]
Anyhow, you can help me by telling me all about your favorite stocking stuffers.

[ this mod loves you mombie.
orion appears when summoned! they are holding the box of lucky charms in their gloved hands. ]
Hello, Mrs. Hammond. Thank you for the tip. [ and gives it a little rattle. ]

[the good news is they don't seem to be eating anything prior to her call.
the bad news is once they arrive they snatch the steak out of the tip thing, shove it under their veil, and take a big bite, because virgo is a person who lacks any sort of manners, apparently.]

[vulpecula appears out of shadows, tries the mocktail, and pauses.]
There isn't any alcohol in this? ...ah! But, thank you for sending me something, regardless!

[as usual, the shadows eventually part and gemini steps out of them before glancing at the book and the coffee.]
Good evening, Mrs. Hammond. How may I be of service?

[Sheila gestures at the book.]
If it's not your thing, you can regift it to the next person who leaves a mess for you to clean.
[Smash cut to the employee lounge and the gift shop... anyway--]
Can the other staff tune in while a guest is talking to any one of you?

Still garbage, but at least a little better than the rest of the trash I get.

There's just not a lot of options for capitalism without money. But maybe if we find a game of Monopoly, we can give you pretend capitalism. That might be fun. [Would it....... Questionable. She seems to give this some real thought before shaking her head.] So, just curious, are you all room serviced out?
[sheila rings the bell, and she finds herself waiting for a little while. eventually though she'll hear the sound of pages flipping slowly. if she turns around, she'll see that aquarius has materialized behind her and is holding the book up, looking through it as their little kitty ears twitch in thought.]
Hi, Mrs. Hammond. How are you?

Give me your key.

[ sheila gets a typewriter message! ]
Meet you up there?
[ and if she does! she will find that aquila's at the door - they open the spa door with a gallant flourish. ]
Mrs. Hammond.

[not me deleting every single tag with guestservices on it when deleting cyoa tags help]
Aquila. [She smiles, heading through the door.] I would definitely still give the hotel a one-star Yelp review, but I would still namedrop you for excellent customer service.

[sheila rings the bell. she's alone with her brownies for a little while, and the lobby is quiet. after some time though, there's a noise behind her.]
Goood afternoon, Mrs. Hammond. [they sound a little exhausted, but attempting to be chipper.] How are things?

Well... I just watched a really terrible adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. So things could be better.
[Executions... are bad. Anyway, she's just. Frowning at them like she did at trial.]
Anyway... as much as I love small talk, I think I might have something that belongs to you?

[ more cereal for orion!
the shadows coalesce as usual at the desk when sheila comes in, and orion dips their head politely in greeting. ]
Hello, Mrs. Hammond. Thank you, once again, for the snack.

[vulpecula appears, sipping at the rice wine beneath their veil]
Thank you. I feel like I say this every week, but that was a lot to watch.

which they toss back at her.]
Don't you need this to eat?!

Wow, you made short work of that! Okay - let me see the list, and your key.

[ the shadows appear at the desk, and out steps orion! they sound
relieved, actually, and there's warmth in their voice when they bow their head. ]
Mrs. Hammond - how glad I am to see you. How are you feeling? Do you need to eat anything - have you rested?

Orion! [She seems happy to see them! And she's cleaned up so she's not dragging dirt all over the hotel floor, you're welcome.
She starts to raise a fingie for each question:]
I'm okay. I actually found meat in my casket? Which, while a nice surprise, also bizarre. And I think I've rested too much, it you ask me.

[re: Okay, so hear me out. I did get caught...but I didn't end up having to use your power! So, technically speaking, I'd say no promises were broken this weekend.]
