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.

Fine.

[ he draws a flower onto it and then pushes it back to cetus ]

[glad tsuru doesn't believe in wasting paper

they take it with a light bow of their head.]

Thank you.

No problem.

Do you have a favorite animal?

[they hum]

I don't think so.

Really? None that you think is particularly cute?

Well, I generally like most animals, is the thing.

Favorite that you have personally met?

I've met a lot, though...

If I had to pick, maybe butterflies?

Do you have a reason for butterflies?

[a headtilt]

Do I need one?

Many people do.

Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. There's no particular reason.

What about you? What animal do you like?

Aha, cranes.

But I do not think that is particularly surprising.

I suppose you do have your motifs.

Well, if you really like something, might as well make it a thing.

That's true. It certainly makes you distinctive.

Maybe we can give you something distinctive...

[thoughtfully]

Like what...?

Hm... you don't have to be specific since I don't you don't like doing that [ :unamused: ] but what is something that makes you happy?

[they appear... to be thinking about this...]

[ HMMMM ]

[hmmmmmmmmm]

[ HMMMMMmmm? ]

[hMMMmmmMMMM]

[ he is at the seat of his

pants? chair?

jan i don't remember how the phrase goes ]
