Crown Plaza IC

Whoever told me things would end up fine needs to tell me why I just found my best friend dead in his bedroom.

Because that doesn't seem like it worked out fine. I know the hotel--



Also, I suppose it's probably relevant for you all to know there's definitely a vampire that's willing to kill people in the hotel, if my Encyclopedia Brown detective skills are right.

I'm feeling much better, much more like myself. I'm sorry I was such a crab the other day! It's... medical. A medical issue. Comes and goes, flares up now and then. It can make me act strange.

So if I made a horrible impression, I promise I'm not as cranky as I seemed.

Also: the Seattle I'm from was much less supernatural street war at night. I still might go out in the light of day, see if there's an alternate version of myself somewhere, or Liv or Clive. If anyone would like a tour guide, I can show you some sights.

All right, there's werewolves and there's vampires out there and the wolves aren't changing with the moon so they're dangerous, not cuddly like me.

I'm carving up a bunch of stakes, I'll put them out in the lobby. Werewolf blood don't work on these vampires, I was surprised about it too. Looks like you've just got to stake them, maybe behead but who's got time for it?

Don't invite nobody you don't know into the hotel, period. Vampires will trick ya.

I'll go out hunting tonight but if anybody needs to go out after dark, come and get me and I'll go with you.

Who: Conrad & Pree.
Where: The lobby/Conrad's room.
When: Sometime later this week.
What: 🧛🏻
Status: Completed.
Warnings: Death, blood.

( What's wrong? )

A fresh new city. It's so nice out there, smell the air. It's so dense and thick.

I feel like I want to go camping. I've never been the outdoorsy type but this place, makes me want to put a hammock up between trees.

I'M GOING EXPLORING! WHO WANTS TO COME WITH!?

Wow, so angry

So this absolute palace doesn't have much in the way of entertainment, does it?


[Richie]

Best friend?

Would anyone be interested in having afternoon tea in the dining room tomorrow? Tea sandwiches, snacks, all that?

..additionally, if anyone knows how to bake scones, I’d be eternally grateful for some help.

[Mike]

Hey, can you pop over when you have a second?

I just wanted to tell everybody, in case you're feeling like you're all alone and you'll never have anybody close to you, and you'll never find the place where you fit without even having to try, like maybe everything isn't going to work out the way you dream... in case it hurts all the way deep down, feeling like you're always going to be on the outside...

If you feel like that, I wanted to tell you that you're not alone and you'll find it one day and it'll all work out and one day you'll be in a family and somebody will love you so much and you won't be on the outside ever again, yeah? Just always remember that when you're feeling down about it.

Where I come from, we're rarely allowed to remember our lost loved ones. It brings down morale, so it's against Company policy. Yet people do remember. Our Scarbacks inscribe each loss on their bodies, so the dead are never forgotten.

I know those who've left us aren't dead for the most part. hopefully and I also know the hotel may have a similar policy to that of the Company. Still I would like to attempt a memorial to those who've left us. If it's temporary, so be it.

If anyone would like to contribute with mementos or letters or picture of those gone, join me in the chapel. I'll be there until the end of the day.

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?

I'm still here, since everybody's checking in. And Elektra is still here so I've got my roommate.

And Pree, hope you're still here so we can keep doing breakfasts and that.

Reckon that's all good. Hate to see so many people gone, though. But hope they got to go back to people they love, instead of leaving them behind.

If anyone is a friend of Lucifer, he seems to have left. I'm sorry if you're missing him.

Alligator Loki is still here. So am I.

New day breathing.

I think I'll chalk today up as a good day.
A nice breakfast is in order.

Wanda, would you like me to bring you back a muffin?

Dios mio.
Is it just me or does it feel more empty around here?
I mean, I know loss, but these losses are next level.
I met Poe early on being here, and he just vanished.
I mean, without Poe, who am I going to build this rocket with now?

[Xian]
You better still be here. I would be sad to lose my best friend. :(

[Kate]
You best still be around. I can't lose the best dance partner around!

[Elektra]
...you still here?

Well, that was a very short lived roommate.

People seem to be dropping like flies around here.
It's almost defeating seeing how people suddenly vanish without much of a warning or explanation. At least with death, you know they're gone because they're dead.

I guess, I should check in. I'm here.

This place feels quieter.
The hotel is absolutely brutal.

[Beatrix]
Please tell me you're still here.

[Mikasa]
I hope you're still here.

My roommate is gone. It seems like many others may have disappeared again as well.

Should we do a check in?

So we're getting close to the beginning of another month in a crazy haunted hotel.

Is it bad that I don't hate it nearly as much as I should?

I absolutely did not make this reservation on Trivago.

I am deeply confused and perturbed. And concerned. I think I fell asleep in my office...? Was I drinking with Peyton again? Because hospitality hallucinations aren't usually part of my hangover, that's usually more of a violent clashing of sounds and bright lights.

I'm not here for a body, am I? This is something else?
