[ awkward is fine. she gives harrow a grateful smile as she leans against the wall. ]
The lights were off when they appeared, and before that, we heard whispering in the elevator. I'm not sure if it was to create ambiance or if it was from those apparitions.
What with all of the - invisible things bringing cups of tea and dining sets moving around, I suppose spirits are a suitable explanation. And yet so far, most of them don't seem to be hostile. I wonder if they are instead bound here by some greater power.
Whoever or whatever gave us reason to sign a contract is my best guess. If the greater power were separate from it... I don't know if I want to start thinking of the hotel as sentient somehow.
At a certain point, there's little distinction between a sentient hotel and an extremely powerful sentient person who can animate the hotel. Well, either way, I'm sure it's something we'll have to contend with whenever they show their faces.
It is a little easier to aim at a person, if the hotel doesn't have a central weak point, but I don't mind having to tear a whole building down if it comes down to it.
Were you able to fight something concrete in your last experience?
Y - yes, in a manner of speaking. We didn't wind up having much of a physical fight with it, but it was a creature. Rather than fight it head on, we had to reprogram it, and kill it from within.
I think I would have preferred that over finding gifts for our creature. [ she really should've offered up her joker equivalent. it would have made her feel better. ]
Being able to kill it in some fashion leaves some sense of satisfaction. Or I hope it was satisfactory enough for you.
[she's silent for a moment, surprised, and then she laughs a bit.]
But honestly, false modesty is dreadful. I am very useful, in many ways, but not when it comes to computer programming, you see. It is not one of my skill sets.
You are confident in yourself. That's good. They are invented where I'm from, but they operate differently. I haven't had much cause to spend time learning them.
That is relieving to hear. I think the same about those from the space station. There were some who could have come here I would have wanted to drown on sight, but the four who are here I have quite a bit of fondness towards.
...Lup's brother Taako was at the camp, and he was a killer. Bad blood there at all, do you know?
That's reassuring to hear you approve of everyone from the space station.
[ at the mention of Taako, shinobu's expression dims. every time she remembers the thieves' targets, it hurts, but she knows the pains of being mafia. that tempers it a little. ]
I am more fine with Taako than I am with his partner, but the person you should ask that question to the most is Dimitri. I won't speak for him.

I don't know if I'd go so far as call them ghosts, but there were apparitions of some sort that looked like hotel guests. They weren't around long.

I know very little about computers so I do not know how useful I was in its undoing, but...truly. I am glad we had the ability.

If you wouldn't be satisfied until you knew that thing wouldn't harm anyone else, doesn't that say enough about how useful you would be?

You and I will have to be useless when it comes to computers together. I learned a little, but it's still a bit beyond my understanding.
But I know, were I from the time computers were invented, I would be as good as any other computer programming person.

Pillar is a rank in the organization I'm in. Insect is how my swordsmanship style looks like.

Necromancy is common enough where I'm from, but I am very good at it. It is...less useful here, where such things don't work.
