HOUSEKEEPER

Today, when Harrowhark is in her bedroom, she will receive a message on her typewriter.

You didn't think you'd just get to laze around all day, did you? Get up. You've got a job to do.

Immediately after she finishes reading the message, she will feel compelled to walk into the elevator, inside which a shadowy elevator attendant appears as a guide. Once she arrives at the destination, she will find herself in a room.

It looks vaguely like a combination of office and supply closet, with shelves against one wall that have a variety of labeled boxes on them - "Cleaning Supplies," "Linens," "Poisons," "Uniforms," and so on. Normal stuff. Along the other wall, there is a desk with ink, a quill, some papers, and a few binders. Two chairs are in font of it, in case Harrowhark would like to take a seat.

Vulpecula is standing by the entrance, their arms crossed, and they give a little huff as she passes through the entryway.

"About time. Okay, let's make this quick, before anyone notices you're gone."

They procure a few pages that are bound together, then flip to the very last one and hold it out to her. It's labeled PARTICIPATION CONTRACT: ADDENDUM.

"Read this over and familiarize yourself with it. This isn't a negotiation, so you'll either sign it or you won't - but if you won't, you might not like what happens next."

RULES

1. Once a week, after at least one murder has been committed but before the discovery of the victim (or victims), you will perform housekeeping duties.
2. These duties will be performed in exchange for THE BODY's safety. If these duties are not performed, THE BODY shall be wiped from existence.
3. Prior to the murder(s), you will choose three (3) guests whose personal rooms you will visit. This choice will be communicated to Vulpecula, who will ensure that you are granted access to these rooms.
4. On Thursday night, you will be responsible for searching your three chosen rooms for any evidence that the occupant may have committed a murder. Any such evidence must be deposited in the housekeeper's cart in the Housekeeping Room.
5. You must select a minimum of one belonging from each room to put into the housekeeper's cart, whether evidence of a murder is found or not. You may select more than one item from each room if you wish.
6. Once you have made your selections, be sure to clean the rooms thoroughly, change out the linens, and make the beds. Be sure to include a mint on the pillow. Customer service is key!
7. You may encounter a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign on one or more doors in the course of your duties. If that is the case, you will not be able to enter, but will still be given credit for performing your duty in that room.
8. You are not to disclose that you are performing these duties. Discussing them with anyone other than authorized Hotel Staff will be considered breach of contract and will result in the destruction of THE BODY.

Harrowhark will be given keys to each of the rooms she has selected - however, upon being used, they will disappear into stardust. She may look around the rooms in a little more detail before deciding which items she will relocate into the housekeeping cart.

BRADLEY'S ROOM:
His glasses are on the coffee table, along with his jewelry box.

The bed is still a couch and he has still not discovered it's a pull out bed. The sectional closest to the coffee table is being used as a bed. The blanket is always put back across the back of the couch. So it's technically made?

The rocks and jewels have been put up onto the shelves. There are a few paper, origami flowers made from the brochures up on the shelves.

His closet/dresser is closed.

MIKAZUKI MUNECHIKA'S ROOM:
» The bed is impeccably made! Everything's so clean! Immaculate!
» His closet is cold.
» There is a small stack of letters next to his typewriter. They cannot be examined in more detail right now; they would need to be examined after being retrieved from the housekeeper's cart if they were picked.
» A bouquet in a vase is on his desk. It contains rhododendrons, angel's trumpets, astilbe, mirabilis, and dogbane.
» His welcome gift box is here.
» WAIT. A COPY OF 50 SHADES OF GREY.

HUA CHENG'S ROOM:
The bed is neatly made on one side, but carelessly made on the other; looks like only one side has been slept in over the past 5 weeks. His closet door is closed.

The desk has the now mostly empty watercolor set on top of it, along with a stack of papers pulled from the stationary pad. Some of them are drawn on with various pen sketches of Xie Lian, mostly, but there are numerous depictions of everyone from the hotel as well. Some balled up pieces of paper are around the desk and show his terrible penmanship like he was practicing.

The room is otherwise obviously lived in and has signs of it, but isn't messy.

Why is Mikazuki's closet cold? She will look inside of it and the outfits and shoes in there. She will also check his bed, under the sheets, mattress, pillow, beneath the bed, beneath the closet, beneath the desk and in desk drawers for anything unusual.

She will look in HC's closet and the shoes and clothes he has there and will also look under the mattress, the covers, the pillow, beneath the bed, beneath the desk, and in desk drawers for anything unusual.

Shit. I meant to type closed. I'm sorry. OTL

Anyway. His clothes are all freshly laundered. There is a yukata and a suit in there, as well as a "simply absurd number of fluffy bathrobes". There aren't any details about shoes, so I'm assuming what's linked in the images is what's there. There is nothing of note in his bed, under the sheets, under the mattress, under the pillow or in the pillowcase, under the bed, beneath the closet, beneath the desk, or in the desk drawers.

Hua Cheng's closet has multiple outfits (two canon ones and varying red/black combinations from the costume closet) with mostly boots but some pairs of shoes as well. The drawers and cubbies of the walk-in closet are filled with silver jewelry of various styles. There are so many eyepatches in here. There is nothing of note under the mattress, under the covers, under the pillow or in the pillowcase, beneath the bed, beneath the desk, or in the desk drawers.

Bradley's closet/dresser has these outfits. They are properly hung up in his dresser, and the shoes are nicely lined up against the wall. There is nothing of note under the cushions of the sectional he's using as a bed, under his covers, under his pillow, beneath the sectional, beneath the desk, or in his desk drawers.

Cool. She will examine all of the floors and walls and the bottom of the closets for any evidence. Also look in the pockets of any clothes and inside any shoes.

Assuming she doesn't find anything, she is going to take a pair of underwear from Bradley, HC and Mikazuki. She is also going to try to unfold Bradley's sectional into bed form before she leaves.

There is nothing of note on the floors, walls, and bottom of the closets. If there is anything in the clothes or inside the shoes, they weren't given to us in the writeup or what's there at curfew, so it'd be something that would get examined at trial after we confirm the item is gone if Harrow took it.

If that changes her choice at all, let us know - otherwise we'll note that the panty thief has struck again and that Bradley's pullout couch has become a bed and been made up in that form!

That works!
