OPERATOR

Today, when Tsurumaru is in his bedroom, he will receive a message on his typewriter.

Sorry for the interruption in your routine, but your presence is required.

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 he arrives at the destination, he will find himself in a room.

The room looks to be a control area, one wall lined with machinery covered in panels and unlabeled buttons and switches; pushing or pulling them doesn't appear to do anything, however. Prominently, a number of phones are hooked up to the wall as well, with lights on or off to signify their active state.

Cetus is leaning against a different wall, but they hold up a hand in friendly acknowledgment when Tsurumaru enters.

"We don't want you gone for too long, so I'll be getting straight to the point."

They walk over to Tsurumaru and hand him a pen and a paper that reads PARTICIPATION CONTRACT: ADDENDUM.

"Read it carefully and sign it, if you would."

RULES

1. Once a week, the Operator will be required to oversee phone operations in the hotel.
2. The Operator will be given a choice between the available lines to tap into.
3. The Operator will be able to hear a conversation, the nature of which depends on the line chosen.
4. The Operator is not to disclose that they are performing these duties. Discussing them with anyone other than authorized Hotel Staff will be considered breach of contract and will result in the death of LILI AN.

[guestservices]

[WHO IS SHESS FRANCY

anyway yeah they probably heard, i'm not going to make you repeat the conversation any time tsuru wants to go over it with cetus.]

... Well...

[preowned]

[ SHUT UP!!!!!!! well this is my official character guess I GUESS!!!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

They seem like they get along.

[guestservices]

[i love you]

They're something, for sure.

[preowned]

You must have interesting dinners.

You signed a contract?

[guestservices]

I wouldn't know the context of what Lepus was talking about, if that's what you're referring to.

[preowned]

Neither of them seemed to know what they were talking about.

So it may not have to do with this current situation?

[guestservices]

That's for you to determine.

[preowned]

Ha ha.

Would they get mad if I asked them directly about it?

[ they said that all of the staff is aware but. how mad would they be at being eavesdropped on. ]

[guestservices]

Well, I can't really speak on their behalf...

[preowned]

Can you make a guess that may or may not be accurate?

[guestservices]

Truthfully, I doubt they'll say much, if anything at all. Personal conversations are personal, after all.

[preowned]

Fair enough.

If I learn anything that might be remotely useful to the group at large, would I be able to discreetly share it? Like through a note or something so it can't be traced back to me?

[ he does not think this convo really needs to be shared but. for the future. ]

[guestservices]

[hmmmmm]

You can, as long as you're cautious.

[and a voice from past the fourth wall says to run it by the mods first]

[preowned]

[ tsuru wonders if he hears anything or if that's just the wind.......

anyway. he nods. ]

Okay. It may not be needed, but just in case.

[guestservices]

Of course. Good luck.
