That's fair. [a beat.] I just wanted to make sure you weren't alone. You don't have to show up, but if you wanted to stay with me and whatever gang I pull together, I'd like it.
Sometimes, I miss having the unrepentant cannibal and the megalomaniac, murderous manwhore as my coworkers instead...
[ugh, protag energy]
We'll play it safe. As things are, even if we're outed, the Nightman should be more invested in figuring out how to handle you guys, with the upcoming check-out, than dealing with us.
Ooh, A plus on that alliteration, I'm impressed. [hee.] You think so? He's not going to be super ticked off that you've been duping him this whole time?
Oh, he'd probably be ticked. And if this was earlier, I'd be a lot more freaked out. There's no way he wouldn't do something about it then, to prevent any more interference.
[he's still, like, kind of freaked out. but better to direct energies into something more productive.]
But at this point, there's not much left for the staff to do, so the only point of lashing out would be punishment, and it's not like we'd make it easy for him.
That's attention and effort that I expect he'd rather put towards screwing over the rest of you instead, within the confines of the contract. He's been trying pretty hard, you know?

I'll consider it. Depends on what Seizaburo's plans are.

Good, though. [...] I'd probably worry otherwise.

Yeah, of course he's trying to not play fair as well as he can. Bastard. [...] More than just the excursions?
no subject
The excursions were the big ones. The doors were probably part of it too. Can't forget about the possession in general, too.

[a beat.] Have you been here a long time?

Unless you count that one guest who the hotel accidentally woke up early so Qi Rong ate him.
no subject
... Souji? [makes. a face?] We were just hanging around asleep here while you all got prepared?
no subject
Something like that. All we really got was that one day Qi Rong told us he ate a guy, and we connected the dots from there, so...
no subject
[BLEH.]
But you agreed to the plan, right? The - Zixi keeps calling it a coup.
