(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.

CETUS.

[guestservices]

[cetus is here, in uniform but with a pink bow tie attached. they mostly hang around the food, seeming content to just snack on a few treats and observe everyone else.

should anyone approach, they'll nod in acknowledgment.]

Enjoying yourself, I hope? Be careful not to get out of hand, or else Gemini might scold you.

[unsaid]

Don't I always behave, dear Cetus? [a beat] An answer is not necessary.

[terrible,]

Though I incidentally do have a request as a guest.

[guestservices]

I know you said an answer isn't necessary, but I feel inclined to give one anyway: you really don't.

[anyhow]

What is it?

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha.

[he really doesn't behave. he's about to prove it.]

I'm afraid my night would not be complete if I did not receive a chance to dance with you.

[guestservices]

[they hold up a hand to their veil, as though thinking.]

I'm curious as to what you'd do if I said no.

[unsaid]

[the face of a man who clearly did not even entertain the idea of being rejected]

[guestservices]

[...

they will hold out a hand.]

[wisterin]

[ she smiles. ]

Is it that terrible to be scolded by them?

[guestservices]

[a pause]

I suppose it depends on your tastes...?

[wisterin]

[ hello? ]

My, what are you implying? I simply thought any lecture for them wouldn't be that intimidating.

[guestservices]

Ha... well, it's true that their bark is worse than their bite.

[wisterin]

They care a little too much about too many things, not that it's a bad thing.

[guestservices]

Probably better to care about too many things than too few.

[shaft]

[ peacefully eats some cheese next to them ]

I already had my heart crushed, so I doubt a little scolding will hurt at this point.

[guestservices]

[a beat]

You had your heart what now?

[shaft]

[ gazes ]

It was so harsh, Cetus.

[guestservices]

Dare I ask for elaboration...?

[shaft]

[ looks at them ]

Would you describe me as your type?

[toesies]

I'll have you know, I'm always on my best behavior. [Questionable.] But Gemini's welcome to do their worst.

[guestservices]

[lightly amused]

I think I might place my bets on you, in that case.

[ashenvaliant]

I don’t think anyone has the power to sufficiently scold a room full of people drunk on alcohol and atmosphere.

[ if cetus has a glass of anything, he’ll clink his own on theirs. otherwise, he’ll just do a little midair clink. ]

Avoiding dancing?

[guestservices]

[yuri may clink]

I'm content to observe. Supervising is what we're here for, after all.

[ashenvaliant]

[ yaaay. ]

True, but you can supervise while being a little hands on if you wanted a dance. I wouldn't tell anyone.

[guestservices]

Are you offering, then?

[ashenvaliant]

[ hmmm! ]

Are you accepting?
