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?

[stillnot]

And we never know if there are things you don't want to talk about or just can't talk about.

[guestservices]

Unfortunately, that's how things are here.

But I'd like to talk about the things I can talk about with you!

[stillnot]

Oh yeah? Me too.

[ hmmm. oh! ]

Since some of you are picky, what kind of tip do you like to get?

[guestservices]

Oh, no. The honest answer here is that I'm not actually all that picky... I'm just happy anyone wants to leave me a tip at all!

But, I like cute things, I guess?

[stillnot]

Not picky is good, and cute things is easier than money.
