[stillnot]

Am not.

[guestservices]

Are too.

[stillnot]

I'm not. And talking about people we miss is depressing. No one wants to do that.

[guestservices]

Let me ask you this then. What would you prefer to talk about if someone approached you for a conversation?

[stillnot]

Ideally if they had useful information, they'd start by telling me that.

[ this might? be a joke? ]

[guestservices]

Hysterical. [dryly. but they also seem to realize it's a joke.] And if they didn't?

[stillnot]

I don't know. I like hearing about people's lives, I guess? Like... Their hobbies and what they do each day. When things aren't bad.

[ so basically she would just rather listen than talk is the problem. ]

[guestservices]

Right. [that is a start, at least.] Perhaps the best place to start then is by asking them about those things? While this hotel isn't home for any of you, it's possible you can speak with others and perhaps settle into some of the things they do each day.

Miss Lup cooks, for instance. You could ask her to teach you while spending more time with her.

[stillnot]

... I guess I should probably stop just mooching off of her and actually learn.

[ fair enough ]

[guestservices]

As if she wouldn't spoil you if you simply asked. [but yes, fair enough.]

It's a start. Take what you know about these people and learn more about them that way.

[stillnot]

You guys watch us really closely, huh?

[guestservices]

Part of customer complaints is knowing your guests and keeping an eye on them to know what the problem is even before it escalates.

[stillnot]

Name three problems you've fixed since we got here.

[guestservices]

Those would be personal as they involve the livelihood of other guests.

[stillnot]

I don't think you've done anything.

[guestservices]

I don't have to prove myself to you for one thing.

[stillnot]

I'm filing a complaint if you don't.

[guestservices]

Are you threatening me? [WHAT HAPPENED HERE.]

[stillnot]

[ she's just being mean for fun and enrichment ]

Do you feel threatened by guest complaints?

[guestservices]

Of course I don't, but this hardly seems like a thing to complain about?

[they are truly being bullied by a teenage girl what the fuck.]

[stillnot]

I'm just trying to make sure you're doing your job right.

[guestservices]

Miss Clementine, your complaint was about people not being the same as you remembered them and I provided you with a solution.

[stillnot]

That wasn't a solution, that was a "just deal with it."

[guestservices]

I did not say to deal with it. [...did they. hm. give them a moment.

and to prove that they do, in fact, listen in on a bunch of things around the hotel, they reach into their pocket and pull out a bottle of blue nail polish and set it forcefully on the counter next to her.]

...the solution was to at least try.

[stillnot]

Creepy.

[ but she takes it???? ]
