What, you don't think there's a lot to organize in that kind of situation?

think of it this way -- lup has a cooking knife on tap, and that's one less potential murder weapon out of other people's hands. i've done my duty.

[when yuri rings the bell, shadows appear before him, from which emerge cetus. when they speak, there's an odd, almost muffled quality to their voice.]
Did you require assistance?

[ me like: the flowers depend on who shows up. they can be nice flowers. he drops the chain on cetus’ head ]
I guess I do.
That statement at the end of the execution — was it the truth?

[not too long after yuri rings the bell, vulpecula emerges from the shadows behind him! wow.]
Oh, wow, that was a lot earlier. You holding up okay?

I’m not going to look at pens in the same way for a while, but other than that? I’ll manage.
Question though, what the heck?

[this bowtie...
when yuri rings the bell, it's a short moment later before shadows begin to swirl and gemini steps out of them to stop before him.]
Good day, Mister Leclerc. How may I help you?

[ well, he's going to put the bowtie on unless gemini slaps his hands. be a dapper un-perceived bellhop, gemini. ]
I expect you'll get a lot of this today, but... explain the room service menus, if you would.

[re: what do i need to do to get “research and preparation”?]
I give you a task and you have seven days to complete it.
A few things to go over:
As soon as I tell you what the task is, you're locked in, although I can assure you that it's only meant to be difficult, not agonizing. Once you're locked in, you must either complete the task or let it expire; either way, you can't request a room service power from any staff until then. Even if you do complete it, you've met your quota for the week.
[i.e. no rushing to try and get two powers in one week.]
Note that the majority of powers can't be used in trial. A few are designed to work around this, but mine are straightforward in that they can only be used outside of those nine hours. Does that change your mind?

… I do have one very quick question. I know powers are limited to two per person for the entirety of our stay here. But are these the only powers that you can hand out?
Does something replace one once someone else has claimed it?

[re: if i am never emotionally vulnerable again in my life it will be too soon. i’m at the bar.
cetus shows up at the bar!]
... You may have to be more subtle with your next task, should you choose to request another power in later weeks, but I'll consider the spirit of the difficulty fulfilled for this one.
Give me your key, please.

I can do more subtle next time. Trying to work your vulnerabilities into a conversation is exhausting, how does anyone do it?

[ when yuri rings the bell, a swirl of shadows appears right next to him, and out pops aquila. they've got the sunglasses from the tip box in hand, and they place them on top of their hat. ]
Yuri. Can I help you something?
Yuri. Can I help you something?
Very stylish.
[ hm. well. ]
Those… very expensive items from the gift shop — where are they kept when they aren’t be paraded to gut our funds.

[ ding dong!
when yuri rings the bell, he might notice the shadows are a bit larger than usual - when aquila steps out, he'll notice that they have a pair of large, shadowy wings extended from their back. they're wearing this shiny blingy ring on one of their fingers, also. they are currently ungloved, as their hands are just black shadows, tipped with claws at the end. ]
'llo, pretty bird. [ teasing: ] Time for our date?

[ sips my water and nods. ]
One second.
[ because i'm already off to a good start with this week's effect, aquila can see that some of yuri's hair looks a little fluffier today than usual. as he's wandering past to get a good look at aquila's new appendages, it's apparent there are actually feathers in varying shades of lighter purple mixed in among the strands of his hair. ]
Nice wings. You guys have to deal with these side effects too?

Sweets, huh? Is it sweets for the sweet or sweets from the sweet?

It can always be both.
[ heh. ]
Admittedly, I keep finding a lot of interesting things in the temporary locations but we can't bring those back so... snacks it is.

[ when yuri rings the bell, the service is prompt! shadows coalesce from behind the desk, and out steps orion. they are currently spearing a pair of fluffy black dog ears that are sticking out of their hat, and slipping their gloved wrist carefully through the flower bracelet. ]
Good day, Mr. Leclerc. How can I be of service?

[ oh wow there they are. ]
That was fast.
I had a question about that box in the concierge office.

Good afternoon, Mister Leclerc. How may I help you?
Good afternoon, Mister Leclerc. How may I help you?
Okay, well first of all why don't I just ask you what tips you enjoy so you don't have to keep taking these from me and pretending you like them.
[it takes a bit after the bell rings, but a while later yuri will hear a voice behind him.]
Macarons...? [they will take them!] Hi, Yuri.
Macarons...? [they will take them!] Hi, Yuri.
[ wow after orion’s insta-appearance the other day he’s now noticing the difference in time between request and appearance and it’s kinda funny. ]
Not a fan? I just grabbed something nice from the restaurant.
[ heh. ] Hello Aquarius.

when yuri rings the bell, aquila is there, with the drink in their hand. ]
Really know how to win a bird over, huh? [ they sound a little tired, but otherwise, just fine. ] You wanna go to the bar?

Very much yes. I forgot how frustrating it is when this happens.
On my way!
[they're using shadow portals like a dirty rotten cheater. unless yuri sent this from the bar, vulpecula will beat him there and will be waiting for him.]

[ the shadows coalesce and appear in the spa, and out steps aquila. no more monster features.

Purple. [ wow. ] 'llo.

[ no more monster features…! ]
Good choice.
[ not that he’s biased or anything. he’ll motion them a little closer, and grab some purple toned polishes. ]
I’m hoping we at least get to enjoy this place a bit before someone inevitably murders in it.

Aww, this is cute! Did you make it yourself, Yuri?

I did… you can only make things out of flower for so long before you need to try something else.

[re: cetus, can we… pre-order healing from you? for lack of a better word. as in, can i do a task now so if someone shows up injured like they always do on thursday you can just jump in?]
Sorry, the deal can't be made in advance.

so it’s just move it as soon as it happens, even though we know it’s going to happen.
[re: i'm choosing to believe you took pity on me and made the spa come early. either way, i owe you for the eyeliner. do you want your nails doing?]
hahaha
see? all it took was a little patience
giving out manicures?
cant say ive ever had mine done before, but sure

[ me sitting upright like frankenstein’s monster. ]
patience when i’m lacking in my beauty products is surprisingly difficult.
and yes, i might be. i learned how to do them at my last game and i find it quite fun.
meet me at the spa. oh, and what’s your favourite colour?

[ re: i bet i can win more casino prizes than you can. ]
doubt it.
see you there, pretty bird.
[ rude. aquila, sure enough, is in the casino when yuri makes his way up there already! he's leaning on one of the slot machines, and gives yuri a wave. ]

aquila will get a wave when he seems them, although the temptation to just flip them off is also high. ]

[re: any of you have a heal left? i have an arrow in my leg.]
Where are you? I'll come to you.
Where are you? I'll come to you.
