COURIER SERVICE

Today, when when Sieghart is just going about his business, he will suddenly feel a hand close around his arm and will find himself yanked into a room at random. The door shuts behind him with a sharp SLAM!

When he looks around, he'll find himself in a nondescript room in the mansion. It's got a table and two chairs in the center of the room, with three wrapped packages sitting on the desk. Each one of them has a different tag on it, but what the tag says is hard to tell from the distance.

Standing in front of him is Virgo, who lets go of his arm and gestures at the chairs.

"Sit the fuck down! You're bored, aren't you? So I have something for you to do this week."

Virgo then takes a seat in the chair on the other side of the table and puts their feet up on it like the rude shit they are, accidentally nudging one of the packages. They seem to be chuckling to themselves.

"Just watching is no fun! So I decided I'm going to spice things up a little, hahahaha. Pick one of these things and then give me three names! Of the living fuckers, no one here. And none of the hotel staff either! I'll make sure it gets to one of the three people you pick. Probably. Hahahaha, aren't I so helpful? Way more helpful than those other fuckers over there! You can thank me now."

TALK TO VIRGO

[guestservices]

[virgo is here, looking pretty pleased with themselves. (or as pleased as it's possible to look with a veil.)]

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart walks over to the vacant chair. There's a pregnant pause as he stands there, staring at Virgo across the table. Then he lifts his left arm and sprays the monster repellant at their veiled face.]

[guestservices]

[



virgo shrieks and falls backwards out of the chair





but there's no thud. a shadow portal opens up beneath them before they hit the floor, and they portal back into their chair.]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!

[ercnerd]

Oh, you're still here.

[That settles it, then! He lowers the spray bottle, sits down, and leans forward to inspect the tags.]

What are these?

[guestservices]

The fuck do they look like? Presents!

[ercnerd]

Did you wrap them? That's awfully considerate of you.

What happens to the other two I don't pick?

[guestservices]

Who cares? If you don't pick them, they're not important, obviously!

[ercnerd]

[All presents are important, Virgo.]

Is there a reason for these tags in particular?

[guestservices]

They're pictures! What, you think they're going to mean something?

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . .

[His eyes flit up to glance at Virgo's veil.]

That'd be helpful, wouldn't it?

[guestservices]

...

[they grumble.]

Use your brain! I'm not going to think through this for you!

[ercnerd]

Mm, yes.

While I do that . . . mind if I ask some other questions since you're here?

[guestservices]

What questions.

[ercnerd]

You don't have to sound so nervous. I'm just curious about the shadows.

[guestservices]

What ABOUT them?

[ercnerd]

You use them to get around, right? How does that work?

[guestservices]

It just does! You expect me to fucking walk everywhere?

[ercnerd]

It'd be nice if nobody had to walk . . .

When I was with a shadow, all it did was stop me from saying what I wanted to. Don't you think that's unfair?

[guestservices]

Fair, unfair, bah! You signed a contract. If shit happens that falls under it, you don't get to whine that it's unfair.

[ercnerd]

Does that mean you can't complain about working conditions, either?

[guestservices]

I can complain about whatever the fuck I want. I'm staff.

[ercnerd]

Is that really why?

[He leans back against the seat.]

You strike me as the type to complain regardless.

[guestservices]

How is this relevant?

[ercnerd]

Didn't I say? I'm just curious.

But if relevance matters to you that much, do you know anything about the shadow that hitched a ride in the kid and me?

[guestservices]

You think I can just run myself about whatever the fuck about shadows? Use your brain and ask a specific question and MAYE I'll think about answering it.

[ercnerd]

[If only Virgo were as loose with their tongue as their laughter.]

Where do they originate from?

[guestservices]

Hahahaha! Fuck if I know! They don't pay me to know shit like that!

[helpful.]

[ercnerd]

[Very.]

You should ask for a raise.

Is it really trying to help the guests, or is it just making entertainment for the Host?

[guestservices]

I just said it's NOT to help the guests! It's to help ME! GET IT RIGHT!

[ercnerd]

Huh?

What do you need help for?

[guestservices]

I want everyone to realize I'm better than those other assholes! The presents help them, but really it's helping me!

[ercnerd]

I was talking about the shadow . . .

[Well, whatever. He can pursue that line of questioning again later.]

If you really believe that, you shouldn't be so concerned about what they think.

[guestservices]

[your mod can't read but also virgo talks nonsense so this is time.]

I'll care about whatever the fuck I want.

[ercnerd]

[Love my mod.

He leans forward again to inspect the nearest tag.]

So if I pick one of these and give you three names, when should I expect it to arrive?

[guestservices]

Whenever. These things don't happen on a schedule.

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . . In that case, let's go with this one.

[He holds the tag with the house emoji between his index and middle fingers.]

[guestservices]

Yeah? And who the fuck do you want it to maybe end up with?

[ercnerd]

Maybe . . . Alphinaud, Harrowhark, or Shinobu.

[guestservices]

Are those people your final choice?

[are they?]

[ercnerd]

[What is this, a quiz?]

I've already thought about it. The rest is up to you and one of them.

[guestservices]

Then I guess we'll fucking see what happens!

DECISION

[guestservices]

[upon closer inspection, the tags on the packages have emojis on them!

one is a frog emoji.
one is a house emoji.
one is a spray can emoji.

please choose one package and three living people no later than wednesday at 5pm PST!]

Re: DECISION

[ercnerd]

House emoji! For Alphinaud, Harrowhark, or Shinobu. Equal opportunities all around.

[guestservices]

[decision made!

the other two boxes vanish into shadows, and virgo snatches up the box with the house emoji and leaves the room once they finish their conversation. no takebacks now...]
