[not long after ringing the bell, a small swirl of shadows appear before clementine. gemini steps out of them, hands folded behind their back as they stop before her.]
Good afternoon, Miss Clementine. How may I help you?

[clementine...for a moment they don't seem to know what to say to that, so they stand in front of her like they might be staring.]
Ah. Fair enough. How would you like to complain today?

[there she goes. they sort of stare again before folding their arms over their chest and leaning back just slightly.]
Of course it was ridiculous, but it wasn't as though we selected the method of execution. The hotel has its own criteria. My apologies if that's not up to your standards but it's out of our hands. As staff, our only job is to watch and ensure the theater remains in-tact.

Maybe if we were producers, but it's above of our paygrade. The crew picks what gets shown, I suppose.

Unless they're a terrible shot. [that raises a new question.] How likely do you suppose it is that you'll end up in the same position as Mrs. Hammond?
Making sure AJ is safe. That comes first.

But I'm not sure this place works the same. And I bet we won't know for a long time.

Clever deduction. [...]
Do you have a plan for either scenario?

I suppose that's a point.

Miss Clementine, if I may. My job is handling customer complaints. From complaints come solutions. But I suppose "why bother" is fair enough.
Then again, you came here and rang the bell. So I can only assume that you wanted to bother at least a bit.

You haven't even asked for a complaint to be solved outside of giving people knives in a fight to the death?
[but fine. fine.]
You could, actually. However we are not allowed to ignore you. Should you require anything, you may ring our bells, call us, or send us a message and one of us will attend to your needs.

Right, yes, the apocalypse. I understand.

A bit like starting from scratch then. How different do you find them compared to what you knew before?
