IT'S A GOOD DAY TO HAVE A BAD DAY

[cascadingfailure]

Who: Day 373
Where: The Hotel Lobby
When: Day 373, late night

[ So how about that ruined lobby? Despite damage to the city usually being repaired overnight, barring acts of Heaven and Hell, it's still blown wide open and also the entire ground floor of the hotel is flooded.

The intercoms have fallen silent since the guest stars made their mark, but for some reason, they've started up again. They're having problems, though - they undergo a constant loop each time they buzz to life, first playing just thirty seconds of a song familiar to some which distorts and slows and slows and slows and slows until all that's left is

uh, this? Which speeds up until it becomes this this, and then just sort of breaks down. And then the loop starts over again.

It's...a mingle?! Do you really want to be here...? ]

[proceedwithcautus]

[ hm.

...is it always like this...

[nohalation]

...





So many beautiful people arriving lately...wowee...

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah, really—?

Eh, wait, you can't be talking about me—

[nohalation]

Oh yes, I am talking about you!

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah, surely that's too much...

[nohalation]

It is?!

[proceedwithcautus]

That's a really big compliment!

[nohalation]

Yes! It is meant to be very big!

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah—well—

But—I should ask your name, shouldn't I?

[nohalation]

Oh! One moment!

[a spin, a twirl, a light tap with the toe of her shoe.]

I'm Angel or QW5nZWw=, but most people call me Angel! Dusk is my name from home so you can call me that, too! It's nice to meet you!

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah! Miss Angel, then, if that's your name here... it's nice to meet you. I'm Eirene.

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's usually less, uh... wrecked.

[proceedwithcautus]

Did this just happen?!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Couple days ago. I picked up some, but... there's kinda a lot to pick up.

[proceedwithcautus]

That's very responsible of you! But it shouldn't have been up to any one person anyway, and, er...

...what happened, exactly? I've been told it's dangerous here, but this is... it looks like something exploded?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Probly cause something exploded.

[proceedwithcautus]

You seem like you're taking it... well?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Stuff gets wrecked here a lot.

[proceedwithcautus]

...isn't there someone responsible for it?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... we are, mostly.

Sometimes stuff gets fixed automatically, but mostly we're on cleanup duty.

[proceedwithcautus]

...I suppose it's not as if there's a chain of command, I... think?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sorry, dude. There really ain't.

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah, I mean, it's fine! I only just got here, I don't mean to criticize, it's just...

...maybe a little less organized than I was expecting.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh yeah?

What were you picturing?
