[preowned]

But it'll likely be gone tomorrow, right?

[guestservices]

We'll see, I suppose. Whether or not it does can be a surprise to you.

[preowned]

[ he thinks it will, but he can't say that his expectations haven't been wrong before. ]

Right. Have you worked here for long?

[guestservices]

For a while, yes.

[preowned]

How long would you say is 'a while' then?

[guestservices]

The exact time blurs together, especially when you're indoors for so much of it.

[preowned]

Have all of you been working here for the same amount of time?

[guestservices]

While I can't claim to know the particular details of everyone's employment, I believe so.

[preowned]

And once this is over, will you stay at the hotel or go elsewhere?

[guestservices]

I suppose it depends on what you mean "once this is over".

[preowned]

[ he gestures between them. ]

This... game. Entertainment. Whatever you'd like to call it.

[guestservices]

Well... that would be making an assumption that our employment ends once you've served your purpose, which isn't something I can verify or deny at this time.

[preowned]

That's why I asked if you would be staying at the hotel or not.

[guestservices]

Which, again, is something I can't verify at this time. My apologies.

[preowned]

Right...

You should see if you can take a vacation.

[guestservices]

I will consider it if I'm able.

[preowned]

You should. Everyone should take one eventually, even... hotel staff.

[guestservices]

And what about you?

[preowned]

A vacation?

[ he thinks about it. ]</small. At some point. My job is not done.

[guestservices]

Then it seems like we're in similar boats. What's your job?

[preowned]

Hm... sword warrior?

Protector of time and history, or something like that. But the more accurate thing to say is simply a swordman.

[guestservices]

I suppose conflict is something that rarely has respite.

[preowned]

I guess not!

But I would like to go to the beach.

[guestservices]

[there's something amused in their tone.]

The beach is nice. Have you gotten the chance before?

[preowned]

Yes. It's pretty nice!

... but there's always something happening that takes you away.
