[guestservices]

Have you done any looking around your room today? Might've been some new stuff to peek at.

[stillnot]

The menus, right? How do they work - do we have to pay for what we... Order?

[guestservices]

You do, yeah. It's pretty simple - when you pick out one you want, you call the staff member in charge of it. They'll give you a task to do, and you get a week to do it. Once you do the task, you get the power.

It's one time use only, so you gotta be smart about it, though. [ they tilt their head. ] Were the menus the only thing?

[stillnot]

I figured the ticket was for ordering stuff.

[guestservices]

It's currency, but not for that. I definitely don't want your ticket, it doesn't do me any good.

[ they give a little shrug. ]

[stillnot]

So what would I have to do for the weapon from home?

[guestservices]

For that, that's an agreement with me. There's a couple parts.

[ they hold up a finger as they tick through these points. ]

First, you gotta tell me why you want it. You already did once, but you gotta tell me in the capacity of the agreement.

Second, I decide if that reason works, then I'm gonna assign you a task. You get a week to finish it. Soon as you finish it and report back to me, you get access to the power. Faster you finish it, faster you get the weapon.

Once you decide and agree, there's no taking it back. Once you've got the task, that's your task. No changing. You can't ask any other staff members for a power this week either, once you're locked in with me.

Sound fair?

[stillnot]

I wouldn't call it fair, but it's what I'm gonna get so I'll deal with it.

Are you going to tell other people about the agreement?

[guestservices]

Nope. Secret between me and you.

I do have a limit of how many times I can give it out, but nobody gets to know who it went to. Last little thing, too - you only get two room service powers, so you gotta pick em wisely.

[stillnot]

Alright.

[ she doesn't really need to think about it. ]

Sounds fine.

[guestservices]

Then, just to finalize it, and get this thing going: tell me your reason for wanting Sting like a Bee, Clementine.

[stillnot]

I'm used to having a gun, so I want one. It's not complicated.

[guestservices]

[...

before they say anything else about the agreement, clem might feel the sense of a frown in their voice. there's a long pause. ]

.....Is it your gun in particular that you want? Or just a gun?

[stillnot]

Either works, but it seems convenient if it's one that I'm used to.

[guestservices]

[ they

tilt their head. ]

Hm? You said, "just something that shoots, too", right? That's what I heard.

Have you done any shopping around lately, Clementine? Besides with me? Maybe you ought to go fetch me a tip before you do this. I need a sticky hand to throw at someone who's saying rude things about me somewhere else.

[stillnot]

[ hello ]

People usually tip after they get something, but I don't mind running an errand for you.

[guestservices]

[ they laugh a little. ]

True. Look, I just wanna make sure you consider all your options before you make a big decision!

[ aquila pauses for a moment. ] All you told me is that you're used to having a gun. Is that the only reason you want it? Be more specific than that for the agreement. Terms and conditions, or something!

[stillnot]

[ you know what she wants a moment to like. think about what to tell aquila so: ]

... I'll tell you when I get back.

[ and this is an excuse for her to go to the gift shop and obtain Gun for her ticket, wow. i personally knew she could get one but i think clem didn't realize.

when she comes back she offers some sticky hands. and also, weirdly: still wants the menu gun. also: ]

So who's talking bad about you?

[guestservices]

[ this mod loves u cola smooches your nose.

aquila sticks around, so! when she returns, they're already waiting, leaning against the counter of the front desk a bit; they straighten up when she does, and hold a hand for their terrible sticky hand collection. ]

Oh, somebody in another room. [ they laugh, clearly unbothered. ] Who thinks she can yell up at the ceiling and scold me for things I didn't do! Thanks for the ammo.

Speaking of - you got a gun, huh?

[stillnot]

[ clem thinks whoever is yelling is probably justified but it's fine. ]

It was cheap, too. If weapons are that cheap, how come you're offering them on the menu at all?

[guestservices]

[ aquila has never done anything wrong in their entire life

they shrug.]

I mean.... you guys are here to entertain, so.

[ blood for the blood gods ]

[stillnot]

[ x doubt ]

... Right. And that's what I'm going to do.

[guestservices]

[ mm. they don't react too much, but clem might hear an eyebrow raise in their tone. ]

This week?

[stillnot]

Yeah? The longer I wait the more dangerous it gets.

[guestservices]

[ hmm...

they're quiet for a moment, and then: ]

Still want room service, or no?
