(24 ḡ̴̻u̷͌͜ê̴̯s̶̢͑t̵̻͝s̴̡̐ ̴c̴h̴e̶c̴k̷e̶d̸ ̶i̴n̴)

Good morning, esteemed guests. You had quite an eventful weekend, didn't you? Let's see how you're able to move on now...

As you awaken on Monday, you’ll find that things are just as they were the night before. The kitchen will serve piping hot breakfast during the morning hours, the pool’s been stocked with fresh towels and the gardens are open for anyone who wishes to spend some time among nature. However, should you explore a bit, you’ll find that a few new changes have been made to the hotel itself.

Your room service menus are still on your desks if you wish to browse before leaving for the day.

The front door no longer spins endlessly, for one thing. Should you make an attempt to exit the hotel, you will find yourself entering a new location. Some of you may even find this place familiar. However, you will find that upon entering the location, the area to the north is fixed to one place.

In addition, should you enter the elevator you will find a new button appears, proudly reading 05. Pushing this button will take you to a new floor where you will also find a few new areas to peruse. Explore to your heart’s content, get to know more of the hotel, and take your time in learning more about each other.

After everything last week, you may feel like it's time to put all of your feelings back inside and bury them away. You were...affectionate? How embarrassing for you. Perhaps that's something you'd like to forget. Conveniently for you...that may happen to you this week. Throughout the week, guests will find that they will experience small instances of "loss" occurring to them. You may find yourself losing certain memories, certain skills, or even certain senses. Don't worry, they will always come back after a while! But it seems that these instances come and go without warning. Hopefully you can prepare yourself for that.

Finally, for those of you with a spare ticket in your pocket, feel free to visit the Starlight Gift Shop, stocked with new items for this week.

Definitely Your Highness.

[she takes the hand, making a face at them.] I will only answer to that for the rest of the night, actually.

[mustbepurged]

I'm sure it will be fine! [She laughs.] You look incredible yourself, Lup!

[battling]

[There's such a confused expression on his face.]

That's just how North Country is.

[shaft]

[ clink clink! he sips his champagne with a smile ]

Are you familiar? I'm not sure what drink you might prefer in Japan.

[guestservices]

[ oh - they glance down, and nod, tapping it briefly. ]

We were told the attire was 'formal'. [ so... they're all in formal uniforms. with their little bow ties. ] It was a bit last minute, but, I'm glad at least that we fit in.

You seem like someone who's done a lot of dancing, Mikazuki.

[ktiseos]

And no left arm.

[his tone is dry. this definitely seems to involve a lot of hand holding.]

[aono]

[He'll nod to Orion in turn, but instead of going out to the dance floor he's going up to stand next to Orion.]

Okay, I've got your spot for the next 20 minutes. Who do you wanna go dance with?

[mustbepurged]

[She's surprised, but in a good way.]

Rin, you're really good at this!

[ktiseos]

... I've no inclination to dance.

[taking a sip from his glass.]

[supremity]

Stuck to your post? Shame.

[ just. materializes next to orion, tanhua flanking them on the other side. ]

Nice tie.

[skyagain]

[ ... hesitates but he puts his newly well-manicured hand on hers ]

[guestservices]

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, Sebastian. [but it's not said unkindly.] You've been to a lot of balls before then?

[shaft]

... Well, I can't deny that.

Would it be suspicious if I asked for a dance then?

[evocationary]

[she is SO pleased. her little fashion protege...]

Look at you go, I'm so proud. [she says, delighted. she follows him out to the floor.] Anyway, thanks. I would've gone for something big and poofy but something told me I was going to need to move around a lot, and what do you know, I have already had to climb one ledge tonight. Good thing I did.

[mustbepurged]

If you have no objections.

[guestservices]

Then, your dance floor awaits, your highness.

[ it seems like they might have made a face back! they will take a few backwards steps towards the dance floor, and then lead her to a good open spot, stepping into her space. they are surprisingly, maybe, not at all bad at this. ]

[unsaid]

[also sipping!!]

Sake, primarily....

But my crane likes to make a tower of these. It requires careful balancing, but the overall visual appeal is strong.

[gestures at the glass. champagne tower!]

[guestservices]

[there's just a moment's pause.]

Eventually, the wordplay will wear thin, I believe.

[guestservices]

[ oh. they frown, glancing at it, and reach out. ]

... You know, I do have a heal available, if...

[supremity]

[ tanhua leads the way over, offering a raspy yip back to the nod.

hua cheng reaches out and taps on the wood of the bow tie, help, this is cute and silly. ]

Less ghosts at this compared to the last ball I went to, but it doesn't put a damper on the mood. Are you?

[evocationary]

I won't. What if I die and the last thing you said was wow, that dress is passable on you?

[guestservices]

[it is a cupcake at the moment.]

I suppose I'm making do with what's available to me. It's been some time since I've attended something like this.

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha.... Well, I am individual who believes in war and dance above all else.

[so dramatic.... but he will reliably move to lead. his free hand will slip to orion's waist. even if it's a western dance, he seems to know it well]

Are you familiar, dear Orion?

[guestservices]

Is that what I said? [they are playing innocent here. they know nothing!]

[unsaid]

[cuppycake....]

Fufu... You and I both, then. Our festivals look a bit different...

But anything that invites such joy is welcome, I think.
