That's fair. The worst that can happen is that we don't get along, right? And if we don't, there's seven other staff members you might get along with better.

[stillnot]

I know you guys aren't in charge here, but I'm still not expecting to get along with any of you.

[guestservices]

That's... also fair. We might not be the ones who set up this whole game and took your hostages, but we are the face of it. So of course it'd be hard for you to get along with us.

[stillnot]

Maybe that'll change when we know more.

[guestservices]

Maybe! Or maybe it won't. We'll just have to take it one day at a time.

[stillnot]

How's everyone else been treating you? I doubt everyone's looking at this the same way I am.

[guestservices]

Pretty well, actually? I have to say I'm a little surprised. I try to get along with people in general, but... I sort of anticipated people being a lot angrier with the eight of us for working at a murder hotel?

[stillnot]

The people with your job had amnesia and didn't want to be doing it, last time. So people are probably assuming this is kind of the same.

[guestservices]

Well, I'll take it.

[stillnot]

Plus the contract says not to kill you.

[ so like getting too angry would just be a waste of energy. ]

[guestservices]

I'll be honest, if I was angry enough, I don't think a contract would have stopped me if I was in your guys' shoes.

[stillnot]

The contract isn't stopping me. It just means it would be pointless.

[guestservices]

That's what I mean. If I was mad enough, I don't think I'd care if it was pointless or not.

[stillnot]

[ hmm. she nods. ]

That's also gonna depend on whatever we learn.

[guestservices]

[they nod]

That makes sense. So take it one day at a time, right?

[stillnot]

That a motto of yours?

[guestservices]

Not a motto, exactly - but a way of getting through things that I've used a lot in my time.

[stillnot]

[ haha i just noticed your icon fuck up ]

It's a pretty good one.

[guestservices]

[let me live]

Yeah, I think so! ...obviously, I guess, or I wouldn't have said it.

[stillnot]

Did it come from somewhere?

[guestservices]

[with a world-weary sigh:]

Experience.

[stillnot]

What kind?

[guestservices]

Unpleasant experience!

[stillnot]

Well, yeah.

But in places like this that could mean anything from... Having a fight with a friend to your planet getting destroyed or something.

[guestservices]

I guess it does cover a wide range of things, doesn't it?
