This might be the wrong time for it but let's take our minds off of the thing, ja?:

Vampires or werewolves, which one's sexier?

It's the vampires for me, all that biting.

And we can all agree: zombies are the bottom of the ranking.

[Dan Torrance]

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

Alright everyone. It seems like a lot has happened in the past week since the hotel brought us here. I wonder if it might be time for a more concerted effort of offensive/defensive strategy as well as tally. It seems like some of us are more familiar in dealing with supernatural creatures than others, but it also seems like not everything we’re familiar with in our own worlds may be applicable here.

What have we noticed about the vampires’ strengths and weaknesses?
What about the werewolves here?

This part might require more trust: Who among our numbers have been impacted, whether it’s someone who has been harmed or changed?

I am asking not to point fingers in placing blame. I am hoping to organize an approach for security and support, whether it is about taking action against those who have harmed our fellow residents or protecting those of us inside the hotel.

Has anyone seen Peter or Senku? We had arrangements to meet and resolve an important matter, and they did not honor their commitment.

I understand it's possible they may have gone outside - at least one of them thought he was some manner of superhero - and could have suffered the consequences. If that is the case and you are aware, I would be grateful for the information.

They promised
I need the
I'm almost out

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.

If you wish to explore the city I recommend doing it during the daytime, when it is peaceful. Otherwise you run the risk of stumbling across a brawl you do not understand, as I did, and becoming collateral damage, as I was.

I am fortunate in that flesh wounds do not have the same effect on me as they might on a human, though these claw marks are taking a long while to fade.

[Zemo, Tom McNair]

I am here to make introductions.

Zemo, this is Tom, a friend of mine.

Tom, this is Zemo that I was telling you about during movie night.

Now we can talk clothes!

[Will]

You’re probably not too fond of big cities, but I was wondering if you might like to have dinner in Seattle?

[Wesley, Fox, Mike, Pree, & Tom]

I don't normally celebrate my birthday, but I've been feeling horribly sentimental lately. If the lot of you are not terribly busy, come join me for a drink later down at the bar?

Missed connections - Were you in the greenhouse last night around midnight? Did we have fun? Cool. Would love to know why I woke up with my head pounding and my hair all matted and bloody. If you can fill me in, that'd be great.

Don't make me track you down.

PS: Did you see a red plastic lighter?

I've been dreaming that I've been turned into a werewolf again.  I'm not in the maze though.  Sometimes  I'm in a city, sometimes in the hotel. 

As usual with my dreams, I'm not sure what it means.  I suggest that if you find any treats or drinks in strange places, you avoid them - just in case, the hotel is going to repeat that trick.

Maybe avoid me too.

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?

WHO: Yelena Belova & Tom McNair
WHERE: Basement #1, Movie Theater
WHEN: Friday night
WHAT: movie night
STATUS: Complete
WARNINGS: TBD - probably pretty tame because Tom is a sweet cinnamon roll too precious for this world

( crazy stupid love )

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.

If anyone is wondering where all the ice cream in the kitchen went, it was taken by Bucky Barnes, not Yelena Belova. Yup. Definitely not me. 👀 🍦 🍨

So were all the plums. Unfortunately, there are no plum emojis. The closest thing was a peach and that's not appropriate.

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.

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.

[Tandy]

I know you're terribly distraught, but don't worry, I'll be sure to drop in on you often.

Watch out for banana peels.

[Tom]

Hello, roomie. Sorry about the dominoes. They were in my way.

Been working on my wood carvings, so if anybody wants anything done just let me know because I want to get practice doing the different shapes but I can't think of what to do all the time. I just did a little wolf and he's pretty good but I need more practice I reckon if I'm going to get very good.

Got some dominos today, they look like Hal's. Reckon I'll set them up and decide if I'm going to knock them down or not. Hal never did but he ain't here so he can't stop me. Might just set them up and stare at them a while.

Oy, all right then, everybody. Every week Pree and I are going to do a Breakfast And Booze if you want to come. Pree making drinks and me making breakfast for dinner.

Maybe be a place to come be with other people if you want to, or if you're hungry, or if you're feeling a bit lonely or whatever. Make a friend. Bring your date. Come and have some food and drinks with everybody. Dress nice. Something to look forward to.

I've got quite the surprise this morning. Bits and bobs from home. My dream wall, my clothes, my vampire tooth necklace. Livens the room up, since I'm in here by my lonesome.

I'm putting up my dream wall now, but I'm running out of tape. Anybody got extra? Or maybe a few magazines so I can add to it?
