Yeah. I mean, these aren't that weird for me - I am a bird.
[ they laugh - the wings stretch out for yuri to investigate when he comes around. they're not particularly feathery or fluffy or anything on aquila, just an obsidian black shadow. ]
We've had the library about five minutes. But I did have a quick glance, yes. You did narrow it down who the animal types are by three the other day though.
If people know what they want, then why wouldn’t they move to get their chosen powers sooner rather than later. There’s benefits to waiting, but Cetus did stress that you may not always be guaranteed what you want if you’re slow to decide.
... It normally does around the third week in. Long enough for people to start deciding who they think is expendable, long enough for people to decide who they don't like or have grudges again, and long enough for people to start becoming desperate.
Sorry! Hah, couldn't help it. [ a little gallows humor there but you know ] Anyway, I was just wondering. Your hands were pretty clean in the other place, too, weren't they?

Apparently you are, too, though.

[ hmmm. well. he absently smoothes a hand over the feathers in his hair. a few that may have been fluffing up settle down as he does. ]
Yes, I expect this place thinks it's funny.
no subject
[ this sounds a little smug. look you have your library now!! ]
And, yeah. The hotel kinda does what it wants, sometimes, and we get included. I don't really mind, though.
no subject
[ their library!!! ]
So the... flower thing last week? That too?
no subject
[ they tap a clawed hand against their chest. ] All the hotel.
no subject
No employee benefits then. Shame.
[ given the fact the staff like to mention how overworked they are... which reminds him, actually: ]
Do you ever get to the uniform off? Or is that a strictly forbidden sort of thing, much like avoiding the lovely side effects we keep getting.
no subject
Yuri. Are you asking to get me out of my uniform? Already?
no subject
[ his mouth twitches. ]
no subject
[ the implication of a raised eyebrow in that tone. ]
Maybe when I'm off duty. Unfortunately for you, though, I'm always on duty.
no subject
[ he does actually just raise an eyebrow at the implication of a raised eyebrow. problem? ]
This is a terrible start to a date, by the way. Where's the promised details on how popular your room service is, hm?
no subject
Popularity? [ they tilt their head. ] If you're asking if it's available, I can still give it out.

This contract is a real killjoy.
no subject
[ they shrug. ] Sorry, pretty bird. Can't help you there.
no subject
[ will he ever not be minorly mad to be told “you signed the contract” when they were also told “we have a hostage”, answers on a postcard. ]
The benefit of having one power is I actually know why Molly was scrutinising my key on Saturday. I suspect we’ll see a few two star keys next week.
no subject
[ they prop their chin in their hand, curious. ]
no subject
[ he shrugs ]
no subject
[ thoughtfully: ] Think that means the body count's gonna start rising, then? Or do you think people are more on the defensive?
no subject
no subject
[ they don't sound judgy or anything - just curious. ]
no subject
I'd rather not. But the hostages make it complicated.
no subject
no subject
I'm aware.
no subject
duck their head and start snickering ]
