guestservices | AUDIENCE FOR: Lup

[gemini pauses to look at her before moving to lean their back against the counter as well, staying upright and folding their arms over their chest.]

Your qualifications?

I did this one already! I am very good at being cryptic and giving clues like eats French Toast fastly! Also, I'm not good at solving puzzles.

If you hire me, I won't kill Jason Todd by giving him a swirlie 'til he expires.

The staff of the Starlight Hotel regretfully informs you that we are not taking applications at this time. However, we will keep your résumé on file should a future position open.

[but anyway.]

First of all, I believe you did fine enough today. And secondly, perhaps Mister Todd deserves just that.

BluuuuHHHHH. [she half-yells this, and then sprawls dramatically on the counter.]

Don't encourage me to do a hit. I'm behaving myself.

I know you are. [they will let her sprawl.]

Am I to assume it's quite different being on the other side of things now?

Very! It sucks! Turns out not knowing the answer at the start of the day is butts!

[her ear flicks.] Are you allowed to tell me why he did it, or do I have to ask him myself? I don't really want to talk to him.

[understandable, and yet.]

I'm sure you'll understand when I say it may be best to speak directly to the source should you wish to find answers.

Ugh. You sound exactly like a friend of mine.

[huffs at them.]

I'll just - wait for the rounds to make it to me.

My apologies. [they do not seem to argue that at least.] Until then, what will you do?

... Check on people, I guess. [sighs.] See if there's any problems to solve. Otherwise I'm going to drive myself crazy.

Then I should leave you to it...?

[is. is that what lup is saying here? they are not sure. lup called them there but also perhaps they have served their purpose already.]

No, don't go anywhere, unless you like, have to?

[waves hand.] People can wait, they're off... being sad about the guy or whatever and I just do not care enough about him to indulge it.

You hungry? Are you allowed to leave here?

Generally when we are with a guest we prioritize their needs for as long as they require. As such, we are also allowed to go where we are requested to go. [there's a pause then.]

...I could eat, I suppose.

Neato. Come with me, I'm making you dinner, since I figure you haven't eaten all day.

[come along gemini]

Okay. [they can agree to this? but they seem to be waiting for lup to take the lead, following her wherever she decides to actually go.]

[she will just... lead them to the kitchen...

i'm sorry, she absolutely does the like, pats thighs, c'mere boy, motion like you do with dogs when she gets a couple of steps away, like a jackass.]

[that is very rude of her, except gemini really does just follow almost immediately and without comment.]

[she giggles a little. sorry, gemini, she has to get her kicks somewhere.]

Any preferences?

[once they're in the kitchen they seem to linger a little. they also don't respond right away as if thinking.]

...perhaps something warm, if you don't mind.

[something warm it is!

she'll start making soup, but like... potato soup, something creamy and comforting and warm.]

Are the powers-that-be letting you sleep enough? [ok mom]

[soup...they seem to be watching her work from under the veil.]

Everything is as it should be, Miss Lup.

That's a terrible answer.

You don't have to call me Miss.

I'm aware.

[of. which part?]

This is such an enlightening experience from the other side, was I this annoying? I couldn't have been this annoying.

Somehow I doubt you were, but who can truly say? Perhaps ask the others who came from your station?
