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.

He glances sidelong at them. Wow, he gets a Jason.] I don't know if that's necessarily true. [But that's all he says.
He reaches over and pulls the front of their hat down on their forehead.]

no subject
[He keeps his hand on the hat, holding it down teasingly for a long moment.]
Okay, Mom.
[He will let them go and stop bullying now.]
