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.
Welcome to Hotel Caelum! Feel free to make up your own stuff to play with as well. Check out the locations page for ideas.

He flaps a hand, though, dismissive.]
I know, I know, it's just a fantasy. [Even if this really does seem like the place of his dreams, he'd never truly be fully comfortable in a place that was obviously not a home.] I want to be there to keep an eye on the development around Aaru Village anyway. But it really is refreshing. Barring any unforeseen happenings, I'll be rested enough to really get to work on moving out once I'm back.
[Maybe this time it'll even stick...!]
no subject
I understand. It's a refreshing new perspective on everything. [ whether it just be getting used to the new environment in general, new insight on worlds, and so forth. he knows what kaveh means - but he is often protective and worrying about his friend, better to help him so he thinks things clearly with reason. ] Well, let's hope that ends up being the case.
[ anyways they're stopping on kaveh's floor because i have deemed this. tighnari will gesture with a hand for kaveh to lead. ] Why don't you show me around?
no subject
Tighnari is right to slow him down, though. Kaveh knows that, even if he struggles to put his appreciation for Tighnari's form of care--the gentle hand on his shoulder, stopping him just short of the cliff's edge of harsh reality--into proper words. Even so, he's in a good enough mood to indulge in daydreams, which is already more than he's been able to do for some time. He'll take what he can get.
And what he can get is his floor, which is a great start, and he's clearly enthusiastic about it. He loops his arm through Tighnari's and drags him off!!! See, he's not falling asleep anymore, it's totally fine.]
Come look at how big the workshop is, it puts the ones at the Akademiya to shame! I've never even seen half the machines inside-- [what about your room, Kaveh]
no subject
it's at least always good to see kaveh in a good mood, often times he wallows in a lot of his stress and work that he will ramble on without end. which tighnari is always willing to lend a listening ear - if not try to offer some help. but now here his friend is, bright as he excitedly chatters on with high energy.
he follows the guide of that arm looping with his own, easing his earlier worries certainly as he emits a chuckle. fine fine, he believes you, you're no longer sneep sneep. ]
You're the one in charge here. [ literally, with the way he's dragging him!! but he obviously doesn't mind. admittedly he's very curious to see what machines he's referring to. ] Though I will be a bit concerned if this workshop is where you're staying.
no subject
Onward to the workshop, though!! I don't know what workshops look like. Let's say something similar to this, but large enough to contain individual rooms for woodworking/metalworking/etc. whatever. THIS IS MY FUCKHOUSE AND I SAY IT HAS WHATEVER unless squee says no.]
Of course not! [He says this like it's unthinkable even though it absolutely isn't.] My room is... well, it can hardly be called a "room," to be honest. Going through that door feels more like stepping into a small manor.
