[sageguidance]

Very well.
Though the mansion here seems old, as if it has been here for a long time, it still provides the comforts one could want in a home. A sitting area for socializing, a well stocked kitchen, and a private bedroom, for example.
Souji is the only one currently present that I've not spoken to ere today, but he was the first to greet me, and has already expressed a kindness I could not thank him enough for. Sieghart I have known previously from Wiwaldi, and I am pleased to be able to speak with him again in spite of our circumstances. I have also spoken with Clementine on several occasions back within the hotel, whom I found to be good company back then.

[guestservices]

You seem to be settling in quite well then.
Souji did mention a kitchen, and we've spoken briefly.
You find yourself in good company.
...it really could be worse.

[sageguidance]

It is all I can really do right now.
But I do. I am quite fortunate for it.
Wiwaldi had a place called the "daycare", and I had not heard a single favorable thing about it, so I did, truthfully, expect worse.

[guestservices]

So I've heard.
Actually, many of the places your deceased were held could hardly be considered favorable.

[sageguidance]

Yes, I suppose you have a point. I do not know of them besides the daycare, so I have naught else to compare to. Even so, I would not anticipate death to be so kind.

[guestservices]

Death is a bit of a permanent situation.
Perhaps that's why.

[sageguidance]

[ There is a small delay before the next message comes. ]

Indeed.
A situation that comes with a question of my own.
What is to become of my sister?

[guestservices]

[a very long delay themselves.]

...my apologies.
But the circumstances fall within the realm of not completing the terms of your contract.
There is little to be done now.

[sageguidance]

What?
But that could not have been true.

[ local elf refusing to acknowledge contract ]

[guestservices]

I'm afraid it is true.
That's what counts as "entertainment" in the hotel.
And because you all have agreed to sign the contracts...that's all there is to it.

[sageguidance]

Then why is she not here?

[guestservices]

Hostages are held elsewhere, likely.
Where you are now is simply a place for past guests to reside.

[sageguidance]

[ another delay! it's probably a good thing gemini doesn't have to deal with the emotional shitfit in between all this thanks to the beauty of text. ]

I see.
Thank you for speaking with me. I shall leave you to your work.

[guestservices]

[poor alphinaud. it's not like gemini's surprised, actually, but it's still something.]

As you wish, Mister Leveilleur.
You may contact us again should you require anything.
