Then maybe the courtyard, if that's acceptable with you.

[preowned]

courtyard it is!
i'll see you there in ten minutes

[guestservices]

Okay.

[preowned]

[ and he will be there in ten minutes, holding his chicken. ]

[guestservices]

[shadows appear a short distance in front of him, from which cetus emerges. when they speak, there's an odd, almost muffled quality to their tone.]

Hello. [there's a dip in their head, as if looking down at the chicken.] And to... Bob-chan-san, I believe?

[preowned]

Yes. She says nice to meet you.

[ she said nothing. ]

[guestservices]

[with a light bow]

It's nice to meet you as well, Bob-chan-san.

[preowned]

Why is this place your favorite?

[ he looks around the courtyard. ]

[guestservices]

I like to be outside, I guess.

[preowned]

Fair!

Are you guys allowed to head to the camp?

[ do you get breaks. does this place follow labor laws. he doesn't know what those are but do you. ]

[guestservices]

We are. Did you prefer to meet there?

[preowned]

Hmm, not really. I've already seen a lot of it.

[ too much... ]

[guestservices]

I thought as much.

[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.
