GRAVEKEEPER.
GRAVEKEEPER
Today, when Jason is in his bedroom, he will receive a message on his typewriter.
Are we interrupting? Well, whatever. Your presence is required at the moment. Hope you aren't afraid of the dark.
Immediately after he finishes reading the message, he will feel compelled to walk into the elevator, inside which a shadowy elevator attendant appears as a guide. Once Jason arrives at the destination, he will find himself standing just beyond the iron fence of the graveyard.
It feels particularly eerie on this fine Tuesday - a low wind whistles through the graveyard, rustling trees no one can see, and the moon is shining high and bright overhead.
Standing tall and proud is Orion, holding a shovel in their hands, the spade of it touching the ground. They don't seem to have much to say, simply glancing from Jason over to their companion. With them is Aquarius, seated on top of a gravestone to be just slightly taller than Orion. They, too, have a shovel in their hands, the spade resting against their shoulder.
"Thanks for coming," Aquarius says in a tone that implies they're aware it wasn't by choice.
Orion reaches into their uniform, and pulls out a sheath of papers, and speaks.
"...You've been tasked with an additional duty. Read the contract between the lines, but - keep in mind that there will be consequences if you choose to disagree."
RULES
1. The Gravekeeper is required to keep maintenance of the graves in the graveyard.
2. On Tuesday, the Gravekeeper will select one participant to remove from the hotel to ensure a proper fit to the open graves available.
2A: The Gravekeeper may occasionally have an additional selection made for them, per the discretion of hotel staff.
3. Interference can only be done through the tools of the Gravekeeper trade. The interlopers will not be aware of your interference.
4. The interlopers will be placed into boxes Thursday evening and dealt with accordingly.
5. On Friday morning, the interlopers will be released from their boxes.
6. The Gravekeeper must make their decision as to their power by Thursday evening.
7. The Gravekeeper is not to disclose that they are performing these duties. Discussing them with anyone other than authorized Hotel Staff, including the interlopers, will be considered breach of contract and will result in the death of ROY HARPER.

You can have your choice. You either dig the hole...s yourself, or you knock out your choice to put in the holes on Thursday. Which one?
no subject
[WHAT!!!!]
You've got to be shitting me. The paper said they wouldn't know who I was! And how would I hide a bunch of dirt on me Friday when everyone wakes up?!
no subject
Either you get the authorization to stay awake just slightly past the time everyone falls asleep to knock them out and we take care of the holes, or the other way around. Take your pick.
[a pause.]
And before you ask, you'd be granted just enough time to get back to where you were before and clean up before you'd fall asleep, too. No cheating and chasing after anybody else who might be awake.
[they're onto you, bat.]
no subject
Also huuuuugh. He really sucks his teeth and rolls his eyes back in exasperation.]
Don't give me that. How am I supposed to know this shitty hotel wouldn't throw me to the wolves and make me do it before then?
[GOD. He looks down at the gravestones and the graveyard. HE REALLY DOES NOT LIKE IT HERE?! There are two of them also... But then he thinks about having to deal with a body... He might as well suck it up.]
Fine. I'll get the body.
[Might as well use these muscles for something.]
no subject
[and we will debrief you on what that means for jason later.]

[i am sorry to claude but not to spoon]

...make your choice when you're ready then.
[and we can call this a wrap unless you need anything else but you can also get it from orion.]
