[ is it, spoon

they laugh, a little - something about that is a little amusing. ]

I feel as though it wouldn't do very much. This conversation was about the two of you, wasn't it?

[shaft]

[ no i just remembered both orion and dimitri prefer women ]

Ah, well. I didn't actually come here to talk about Dimitri.

I wanted to ask about Flayn... she doesn't seem to be with the rest of us who died.

[guestservices]

[ oh. they're quiet, then; their demeanor softens a little further, folding their hands gently in their lap. ]

... She's not, no. [ but that's all they have to say about that. ]

[shaft]

I suppose... You don't know or can't say anymore about where she is?

[guestservices]

[ a little shake of their head. ]

I'm sorry.

[shaft]

So she just... vanished?

[ his brows furrow ]

[guestservices]

As far as we know. Though - it would be best to ask Virgo, perhaps. The rest of us are unable to make true physical contact with the place that you are. They might be able to give more details.

[shaft]

That's pretty interesting, by the way. What's so different about Virgo...?

[guestservices]

It is just their duty - this place is their domain.

[shaft]

The rest of you don't have anything like that?

[guestservices]

The rest of us are allocated to the hotel.

[shaft]

So us poor dead schmucks are left without your impeccable service...

[guestservices]

[ a little wryly; ]

Unless you dream of it, I suppose.

[shaft]

This is just a chat! Are you feeling trapped here?

[guestservices]

I am here to comply with your requests, Mr. Von Riegan.

[ so they are here to chat ]

[shaft]

That really does make it sound like you're trapped...

[guestservices]

[ they glance at the jail bars

and kindly do not say anything. ]

... It is rare that others choose me to converse with of the staff, is all...

[shaft]

[ pay no attention to the jail... ]

Because you don't enjoy it?

[guestservices]

Not typically.

[shaft]

What do you prefer then?

[guestservices]

[ they

seem very surprised by this question

and are quiet for a long moment? ]

... I suppose I don't mind meditation...?

[shaft]

[ oh! he perks up. ]

Me too. I practice every morning. I tried to help Dimitri with it, with little success...

[guestservices]

[ oh!!! they do too. ]

...Really? I can picture it.

[shaft]

The part about me, or the part about Dimitri struggling?

[guestservices]

[ that gets orion to laugh, ducking their head. ]

Both.
