[they contemplate it for a few moments.]

Make a list sorting or ranking the guests in the hotel on something. It's up to you what it is. Once you're done, bring it to me and I'll post it for everyone to see. Your name won't be attached to it or anything.

[a beat.]

...I hope you won't have to use this power, but - if you can use it to protect yourself and your daughter, that's a good thing.

[toesies]

... I hope so, too. But it doesn't hurt to be prepared. And if I die anyway but my daughter makes it? Then it will have been totally worth it.

[guestservices]

[they sigh.]

If you do anything, just - just, try to survive, no matter what. Your daughter is going to want to see you again. And your friends are going to want to see you make it through this.

Hey, don't worry, I like being alive— or, undead. So not becoming regular dead is already part of the plan. But it never hurts to have a plan B, right?

[guestservices]

...right. Yes, you're right, it's - better to be prepared.

[they look down.]

[toesies]

[and then sheila got caught for murder. wowie!

she pauses, looking at them.]

Hey, Vulpecula, look at me. Are you okay?

[guestservices]

...

[they look up at her.]

If you do end up having to use it - just, just... don't get caught.

[toesies]

... I won't. I'll have you know, I'm gotten very good at tricking cops. I bet I can trick a group of amateur detectives being held hostage by the boogieman just as well, too.

[well.

she did get caught! but she didn't use vulpecula's power, so technically not a lie? (no)]

[guestservices]

I'll hold you to that! If you get caught, I'm going to cry.
