[ lol ]

Haha. Me too. I guess I should drink more if I'm gonna have to prepare myself to get scolded for a week. [ they sigh, and take a huge drink out of their glass. ] Ugh.

[ktiseos]

Do take care that you are not simply scolded while hungover.

[he says, with a sip of his own.

and while he debates making any mention of it at all-]

I could have sworn some of the writing upon it was familiar to me, you know.

[guestservices]

[ they wave that off, down the rest of their wine, and hold the glass out to the shadowy waiter to get it topped off.

the second part has them tilt their head. ] Oh?

[ktiseos]

Vaguely so, but familiar nevertheless.

[casual enough, as he picks up a slice of cheese in his claws.]

[guestservices]

Weird. Wonder why? Maybe it's like someone from home?

[ktiseos]

A possibility, although I cannot imagine any I know from home would be in a place such as this.

[guestservices]

[ they tilt their head. ]

Someone from the Prism?

[ktiseos]

More likely, I would think, considering our group all seem to hail from such places.

[guestservices]

That'd be interesting.

[ they tap a clawed finger against the table, idly. ]

Do you have any thoughts on it?

[ktiseos]

I do have a thought or two, yes.

[a pause, long enough to take another bite.]

But I do not know if they ought to be voiced.

[guestservices]

Probably not.

[ they are not eating, by contrast. ]

[ktiseos]

As expected.

[which is precisely why he's said nothing, thus far.]

Then I shall continue to keep them to myself. [a slight pause, before:] Moving on to business, then: as I said, I do wish to make an official request of you, after what we discussed before.

[guestservices]

For Float Like A Butterfly, yeah?

[ they don't acknowledge the first part, sipping at their drink. ] Why do you want it? I need a more detailed answer than what you gave me before.

[ktiseos]

I am, obviously, a fairly easy target to strike given my size, and less mobile than others as a result. I do think expanding my options in that regard could prove quite useful.

Though I shall not claim it is not due in part to the familiarity I mentioned before, as well.

[guestservices]

[ they nod... ]

Well, as long as you don't waste it on a sentimental flight through the Prism, or something.

[ they don't sound like they think he will, at least. they drum their fingers on the table. ]

I want you to find two people who you think should speak to each other more often in the hotel. Bring them together and tell them why you think they should speak more often. Do it twice. So, two sets of two people. Give a good reason, too - it should be thoughtful, yeah?

[ oocly, you will want to draw these people into a group pc, and make sure emet explains his reasoning for each one! they should have some substance to them. ] That means you can't just do it for people from the same place, and you probably shouldn't rely on someone like Lup, since she's a social butterfly.

Time to socialize, big guy.

[ktiseos]

Of course you would choose something like this.

[he exhales a tired breath, takes another drink of his wine.]

Very well, then. I shall work on it.

[guestservices]

What is that supposed to mean, huh?

[ they laugh, though, amused. ] I like to personalize my torture.

[ktiseos]

[dryly:]

Ah, so you admit to what it is.

[guestservices]

Hmm?

[ they make this little noise so innocently as they reach for a piece of fruit to pop in their mouth under their veil. ]

[ktiseos]

[he reaches over to try to pluck it from their hand in his claws before they can eat it.]

[guestservices]

[ rude

they make an offended noise and shove it under their veil. ]

[ktiseos]

[he huffs out an amused sound in turn, picking up another piece for himself.]

[guestservices]

Don't try and take vengeance on me for your inability to socialize like a normal person.

[ they don't make a pbbbththt fart noise or anything but the energy is definitely there. they're also snickering, as they take a drink. ]

[ktiseos]

I happen to find this a perfectly acceptable level of socialization, thank you.

[guestservices]

I'm gonna kick your ass straight out of your comfort zone.

[ nyeh. ]
