I ...
[she's sort of staring at this, unsure if she should interfere.]
Are you alright?

Ah. With Estelle? A curse?
[she approaches a bit cautiously.]
Let me extricate you.

Well, she said ghosts did it. I'm not certain what to make of that.
[okay, she will gently take her by the shoulders and sort of pull her away from the door.]

[ it won't be difficult even for harrow's strength of 5 since shinobu weighs nothing and she isn't resisting. ]
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 do hope the sensation wears off quickly. Did anything else occur?
[she's a little frail but not so frail she can't set her up against a wall. awkwardly.]

[ 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.
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.
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.
[ she thinks that over for a moment. ]
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.

I don't know if I could have been satisfied leaving that place knowing that thing yet lived. It needed to go.
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.

I don't know you well, but from our conversations, I am sure with your determination, you were as much help as anyone could be with what you knew.
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?

[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.

[ her smile becomes a little warmer. ]
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.

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.
Necromancy. But bone and the skeleton is my area of specialty, yes.
You are...an insect pillar?
You are...an insect pillar?
A warrior and a swordwoman. Good.
[she nods.]
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.
