[Console | Video] is it getting better?

[edgeoftheknife]

[Hello again Keeliai, your resident beautiful janitor evil overlord Hotel manager here. He's looking a little better rested than the last few times he's been on the network, rather nonchalant today, resting his chin on his hand.]

There's cake in the common room. Come have a piece.


((ooc: Translation: party in the Hotel! Everyone is invited. Come do fun things and be happy, because seriously some people need it. Party thread is here.))

The staff of the Hotel, and those who volunteered to help out while I've been in charge. The ones keeping everyone from having to suffer through me trying to cook.

[ a pause, study ]

You say that as though you're winding down your tenure.

[A light laugh]

I say that because I realized the other night that I barely know any of the other staff, and I've been working in the bloody Hotel for months now. I'm forcing myself to say hello.

But now that you mention it, Anton's been feeling better. I'll probably be deposed any day now. Back to scrubbing toilets and all that.

[denyamenti]

That's a shame. I think with more practice, you'd be better at running it than he is.

[That gets a louder laugh]

Good God, if you'd seen the shape the books were in when I handed them over, you wouldn't be saying that.

[denyamenti]

I believe I would be.

[edgeoftheknife]

[A slight pause]

Well. I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one, then.

[denyamenti]

When was the last time the djadjut thanked you for what you do, let alone went out of his way with something like cake?

[A longer pause this time; Erskine is looking progressively less composed about this.]

I can't speak for the rest of the staff, but I don't need cake. Or thanks. I'm working off a debt.

[denyamenti]

My mistake, I was under the assumption indentured servitude had fallen out of style anymore.

[edgeoftheknife]

We're both over four hundred years old, we're allowed to be old-fashioned now and again. Besides, it beats the alternative.

[ Bakura laughed at that. ]

Well, you've got a long many years to go to catch up to me, heriret.

As you said, we'll agree to disagree on it.
