week 3, monday

[as sieg gets nice and cozy in the dream suite, a few moments later he'll find himself in a blank space. for a moment, he's alone. but the next time he blinks he'll see a person standing in front of him. it's a figure in a staff uniform, brushing off their sleeve a little before standing a little taller. the name tag reads aquarius.]

...ah. I was beginning to wonder if we'd ever hear from you.

[ercnerd]

[He's technically asleep, and he's already so tired.]

You can thank Souji for that. He's the one who suggested that I talk to you.

[Rascal.]

[guestservices]

That doesn't surprise me. He's a little too nosy for his own good sometimes. [but they don't sound bothered by this.] It's nice to see you though...even though we haven't really had a chance to speak before now.

[ercnerd]

[Nosy is one word.]

Mm, nice to see you. . . . So? What made him name you out of everyone else?

[guestservices]

I'm not even really sure. Your name might've come up in passing. Guest relations, you know? I like to keep an eye out for all of our guests...even the deceased.

[ercnerd]

He kicked up a big fuss about how you'd be a good place to start . . .

[Not that Sieghart wants to start anything.]

Can you even see what we're up to? Or is that just Virgo?

[guestservices]

[there's a snort.]

Of course he did...most of our updates come from Virgo though, and I'm sure you've met them. So you can kind of guess how that actually goes for us.

[ercnerd]

You may as well not be receiving anything.

[Well, he can't discredit Virgo too much. There's obvious effort and a certain degree of shyness, as far as he can tell. But Virgo is also kind of deranged.]

[guestservices]

I knew you'd understand. [haha.] I guess I like hearing things from people myself anyway instead of relying on a second source of information.

week 4, sunday

[guestservices]

[ it's dream world! you know what this looks like.

orion is here! they say, briskly: ] Mr. Sieghart.

[ercnerd]

[It's dream world! He gives a dismissive wave at the formality.]

Just call me Sieghart.

Did you hear the news?

[guestservices]

I did, yes. What's the situation, currently?

[ercnerd]

We split up to inform the rest of you. The new guy's torn some things up, and Virgo isn't around.

[guestservices]

[ they fold their arms. ]

Don't worry about Virgo - they're fine. We appreciate the quick information. Have you taken care of the rat?

[ercnerd]

Is he a lantern or a rat . . . ?

By "taken care of," do you want us to get rid of him?

[guestservices]

Whatever it is.

[ it's fine. ] I can't imagine you're enjoying his presence. Where did he even come from?

[ercnerd]

There was a locked door at the mansion. Now and then, we'd hear shrieking from the other side . . . It was dark, but it resembled the basement once we were able to look inside.

week 6, sunday

[guestservices]

[lepus shows up in the dream!]

What do you want?

[ercnerd]

[Hi!]

Hmm . . . I was thinking that I should have tipped you one of Souji's dumplings, but, now that we're here, do you have to sleep in order to come here as well?

[guestservices]

[dryly]

Imagine how much it'd destroy our sleep schedules if we had to constantly nap during the day for you guys.

[ercnerd]

Oh? You're pretty popular, aren't you?

[guestservices]

That was a broad "we". I'm talking on behalf of all the staff members.

[ercnerd]

But you must come over here pretty often. Or is it just Souji who calls for you?

[Because, to his knowledge, Souji will talk to anyone and everyone. Just thinking about that is exhausting.]

[guestservices]

Eh. I've been lucky to be spared, which is why I know you want something right now.

[ercnerd]

Rather than what I want . . . should I say that it's someone's hope?
