[I TRULY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET ROOM PCS GOING WHEN THEIR ROOMS ARE ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE HOTEL HELP



anyway i guess they're, like, in the mezzanine level's hallway or something. flayn nods in greeting when she spots alphinaud.]

Oh, hello again! Is your room comfortable?

[sageguidance]

[ It's bullshitting hours!!! Anyway yeah they're there! He lifts a hand in greeting. ]

Good day, Flayn! Surprisingly so, yes, enough that it almost seems... tailored fit.

[fishingforcompliments]

Mine is much the same... I must confess I find it a little suspicious, but... it is much more comfortable than the floor has been these past few nights, so I cannot really find it in me to complain.

[sageguidance]

Aye, of that I am of agreement. I am not wholly trusting of it, but I do not think it would be wise to turn away from any comforts we are offered.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she nods]

It is there, and we are stuck here, so we may as well make good use of whatever is offered. ...that is also why I do not feel particularly guilty about taking things from the gift shop without paying for them.

[sageguidance]

[ he laughs ]

Normally I would never advocate for thievery, but in this particular case... I believe I can make an exception for.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, that is about my mindset as well. I would never dream of stealing from most merchants, but I do not particularly care how much of a profit our host makes.

[sageguidance]

We possess no coin to spare, either! Were we to have a guilty conscience, there is still no profit to be made from us.

w0; monday

[sageguidance]

[ spotting her in the hallway ]

I see I am not the only one who has grown curious.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she nods to him!]

It seemed prudent to make sure that no one was exploring alone. Would you mind terribly if I accompanied you?

[sageguidance]

Good thinking. I should have thought similarly, yet my wonder got the better of me, it seems...

No matter! I would be pleased if you were to join me, Flayn.

[fishingforcompliments]

Onward, then!

[until they come to a door... hmm... which will it be...]

We should be on our guard. There is no telling what might be behind any of these doors... it strikes me as a little odd that there are so many of them.

[sageguidance]

[ Alphinaud looks up at door three, as RNJesus decreed it so. ]

Hm! You suppose there is danger to be found behind them?

[fishingforcompliments]

I will be frank: I do not trust anything about this hotel, and I think we would all be wise to be prepared for any possibility.

[she's preemptively so tired.]

[sageguidance]

[ she is..... ]

That is... quite true. It would do me good to remember not to grow complacent, even on the quieter days. In times past, events had happened on such a routine.

1/2

[fishingforcompliments]

Hmm... as I recall, there was something of a routine in the camp as well. But even so...

[anyway! time to open door three.]

2/2

[fishingforcompliments]

[and out pops this monstrosity. there is only one monster, but each of them will see a different person's face inside the snake's mouth.

flayn stumbles back, her eyes wide, and tries to put an arm out to shield alphinaud]

Look out!

w0; thursday

[sageguidance]

[ Out in the lobby, Alphinaud is crouched in front of a friend, offering it a cookie. ]

Here—now don't go rushing into the dining area again, all right?

[ Whether it's listening is up to debate as it munches on the cookie. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[so cute...

flayn is on her way to the restaurant, but she stops when she spots alphinaud and his pal.]

Oh! Hello again, Alphinaud. Is that your... [what was the word from the profile...] Carbuncle?

[sageguidance]

[ He looks over his shoulder. ]

Good day, Flayn. Yes it is, and once again it is being a troublesome thing.

[ He says, like he's scolding it... but it's preoccupied with cookie. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Is it really so troublesome?

[she comes closer and crouches down to get a better look at it.]

It is so cute!

[sageguidance]

[ Mid cronch, the carbuncle looks up and chirps her way. ]

Hah, well... Only a little, but I can't let it get too spoiled now.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she gives it a little wave! hello, carbuncle!]

Have you named it?

[sageguidance]

Ah...

[ He looks a little sheepish. ]

Perhaps... not quite. It is common to refer to one's carbuncle by the gemstone which they were created from, but other than that, I've not named it.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she looks up at him curiously]

The gemstone? What gemstone was this little one created from, then?
