Crown Plaza IC

There's noise in my head all the time.  I don't listen to your thoughts.  It's more of a background noise.  With all the people gone, it's like someone's turned down the volume on the radio in my mind.   Quieter, like someone else pointed out.   It's weird.  The hotel was never as loud as a town, but it was enough to not feel lonely.  I'm kind of missing the loud.   I might just put on my headphones and blast some music.  I usually do that to keep the voices out.  Hope it works to keep out the quiet too.

[Telepathically to Adrienne]

Where are you?

[Telepathically to Abra]

I'm going to lockdown my friend, Adrienne, mentally to stop her vampiric cravings and infecting of others. So if you find me in a trance in our room, that's what happening. Don't worry.


[Pepper]
Please be careful if you leave the hotel. I know you can handle yourself, but I've just found out that a friend was turned into a vampire.

[Dan Torrance]

Hey, sorry mate, your friend's a vampire. Wanted me to talk to you.

Plonked down in the middle of a supernatural war? aye, this is where I usually end up.

So I've lost my co-editor and my husband reporter, so it'll be just me. Tony was going to help me digitize everything. If anyone wants to help now I'd appreciate it.

Also I'm taping a sheet of paper in the lobby so new arrivals know where they can find the newspaper and all the back issues.

Lots of people are gone. It's very sad yes but have we looked at the BRIGHT SIDE?

Way less people to stand around awkwardly in elevators with. Right? ...Right?

Who: Beverly Marsh and Open.
Where: The Lounge

Finding out that my husband was gone from someone else was not pleasant.

I can't even tell people who he was and what he meant to me.

I found the library....so many books...so much to read. How will I ever read them all?

That was interesting. I didn't think I was going to come across someone else who can do what I do here. Well, it was a little different, but conceptually similar.

[Private to Dan]
Were you attached to someone?

What: The world is screwing with them
Status: Closed/Complete
Warnings: None

( I don't know what came over me )

Maybe I've got cabin fever. Maybe the toilet rats are still on my mind and in my heart. But I've got a weird vibe hanging around me all Shiny like, and it kinda feels like when someone's riding your ass in the grocery store? Standing way too close and judging you based on just how many hot pockets are in your cart?

Maybe it's not a vibe. Maybe I'm just hungry.

It seems I am to start teaching Psychology for this half attempt at a school program.

If you wanted to learn you could have asked rather than offering me up to the masses.

Good morning, we're in the process of getting ready for the school year. I'm planning in advance, because who knows what this hotel will throw at us. So hopefully starting on August 15, we can be up and running. For this reason, we'll be using mostly the sitting room from 8:30 to 12:30. If this is a problem, let me know and I'll make other plans.

For my students, you will have your schedule soon. You will be able to pick languages and other classes, besides your core (I know in other countries you don't pick your classes, but we're using a mix of American and European).

From 3:00 to 4:00, we will have training classes. Those will be open to anyone who wants them.

Clint

Hey, how would you feel about teaching archery to a bunch of kids?

Will Graham

Hi, I have one student who's interested in Psychology and there might be more. It would be twice a week from 9:30 - 10:20.

Teachers

Hey, look up the schedule and let me know if it's okay for you.

Also I was thinking that for the 3:00 to 4:00 classes, you'd teach Monday through Friday, but only for those who want to. Meanwhile on the day listed, anyone can show up, sort of an open house. Thoughts? We can certainly change this since the students don't have the schedule yet.

WHO: Adrienne and Dan
WHEN: 7/20
WHERE: Library
STATUS: In Progress
WARNINGS: TBD

( he felt a difference in the space before he even got to the door in the hallway. )

If someone left me a perfectly mixed Cape Codder and a chocolate lemonade cupcake outside the roller skating rink, thank you. They definitely hit the spot.

And if I just swiped someone's snack, oopsie?

[PyroCat]

Guess who currently doesn't have a roommate.

Now that the rooms beyond bedrooms and the kitchen are open again, might I suggest you all invest a few moments in perusing the library so I don't have to see you all whine again the next time you have literally no idea how to entertain yourselves without flashing lights and bright buttons to be pushing?

Also, I'd like to see that Apothecary now.

I've run out of the books I had kept in my room.
Does anyone else have any they might let me borrow while the library is locked?

I have a deck of cards. Anyone want to play a few games until all the doors reopen?
