EVENT LOG number 001
As your characters arrive to the hotel and check in at the front desk, they'll be handed a keycard for their room. If they're the type to linger or want to ask Mr Bennet questions, they'll be shooed off quite quickly by the hotel manager instead as today is a big day for the hotel.
"It's our grand opening," he explains. "Though, we were open beforehand just... now we're open to the multiverse! Isn't that wonderful?" Though he doesn't wait for a reply before moving on to the next guest in the queue and working to get their room next. Looks like they've been dismissed.
When they arrive to their room, they'll be greeted with a lush hotel room to their personal standards and quite ready to be enjoyed and lived in for the foreseeable future. On their pillow, will be a mint.
Or twelve mints.
Or half a mint?
For some people, there is just a note that says "sorry" and that's about it. Strange. Either way, they're free to have their mint(s) or not but it looks like they're not the only one settling into this strange hotel. Maybe they should strike up a conversation with another guest nearby after they've settled in? SPA DAY.
After a few days of settling in, characters will find themselves waking up one morning and greeted by a coupon sitting on their nightstand. The coupon reads: FREE SPA DAY and nothing else. Which is kind of funny since, well, isn't everything already free? Either way, if your character tries to figure out what this means and go down to the spa, they'll run into a very busy staff ready to attend to whoever comes visit the spa. There are a few options available but strangely enough, after your character participates... they may find a few side effects too.
For instance:
- Hot Tub: If your character visits the hot tub, they'll find themselves extremely lethargic for the rest of the day, falling asleep at a drop of a hat in the most inconvenient places. Perhaps in the hot tub itself? Or maybe on top of another guest? Oops!
- Facial/Manicure/Pedicure: If your character opts for the more traditional spa day activities, they'll find themselves unable to stop talking afterwards. To the staff, to other guests, they've got a bit of a motormouth today.
- Massage: Now, a massage, who doesn't like a good massage? Except afterwards, your character will find themselves particularly touchy feely with everyone they come across, being painfully clingy and unable to let go of their friends, or even strangers. Whoops.
- Sauna: You would think the sauna would be safe but if your character goes in for a nice sweat, they'll come out feeling extra aggressive and itching for a fight, either physical or verbal. They'll start picking fights with the staff or other guests, unable to stop themselves.
All of these effects will wear off after a few hours, where your character will have to do a mortifying walk of shame after and apologize to folks. Oops.

He blinks sleepily and looks around, then sits bolt upright, rubbing his hands over his face. NOT LIKE THIS!!!]
Oh my--yes, I'm so sorry, I'll get out of the way. What is wrong with me? Even my longest all-nighters never had this effect.
no subject
Did this hotel just get a bunch of workaholics....?
[ ARE YOU ALL OKAY ]
no subject
What's that supposed to mean?! It's perfectly normal!
no subject
Do you just really hate sleep?
[ She's concerned for you, sir. ]
no subject
Wh--no! But haven't you ever had to meet a deadline before? Sometimes sacrifices must be made!
no subject
[ ONLY once or twice? ]
no subject
no subject
That still sounds like workaholic behavior.
no subject
There's nothing wrong with using the extra time you have to ensure that your work is of the highest quality--and anyway, I don't normally fall asleep in strange places like this, so these two things are completely unrelated!
no subject
[ oh, boy. ]
Are you feeling a little more awake now that you've yelled a little?
no subject
no subject
[ And we can't have that. ]
no subject
It's nothing to worry about, I'm sure. [He's slept in worse places, though usually he was aware of it when he did so.] More importantly--did anyone else see me?
no subject
[ So the jury's out. ]
