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.

[i hate that. regardless, miss cloud is sitting primly and gemini leans back a little more comfortably in the chair before taking the drink. there's a moment that they look at cloud because what is this punch, but they will accept it.]

They truly wanted to make sure you matched...[why. but they also sip.] I imagine it could be better, but beggars cannot be choosers. The castle was an appropriate setting, so it would have been a shame if it wasn't used.

[skyagain]

Aesthetics. [ he says it grumpily while drinking like he didn't give up and let it happen ] It was used this way in the Realm, too. Not sure how I feel about a play on memories when it comes to this place.

[ something feels... ironic. ]

[guestservices]

Aesthetics mean nothing to me. [equally grumpily, but they're watching the dance floor.]

Does it make you uncomfortable being back here?

[skyagain]

In this party scene and this dress specifically? Yes. [ bluntly, but he leans an elbow as he watches the dance floor ] ... But I don't think it's the right word for being back in the Realm in general.

[guestservices]

I suppose I walked into that. [a pause. they seem to be watching cloud instead.]

Might I ask you to elaborate...?

[skyagain]

... Wouldn't call it nostalgia. I was more than ready to never see this place again when we got out. [ it's pensive as he nurses his drink ] ... I don't know.

[ maybe he misses the people. hm. ]

[guestservices]

...I think I understand. Places still hold memories whether you meant for them to or not. [a sip.] I've explored the Realm myself a bit since its arrival. It's quaint, but somewhat enjoyable.

[skyagain]

Yeah. I guess. Pirate's cove was a lot better than this one.

[ there was a bar... he got to beat up stuff... crabs ]

[guestservices]

That was...the one with the actual ship, correct? I can only imagine that would have been more adventurous for people who enjoy that kind of thing.

[skyagain]

Yeah. Had to fight off some pirates at some point. It was fun.

[ not at the time because he was stressing out about fox and bunny, but, ]

[guestservices]

I suppose...that's fun for people who know how to fight. I imagine for combatants it was probably the best thing that could have happened to them.

[skyagain]

It's a good way to let off steam.

[guestservices]

I will take your word for it. [they take another long sip.] While I can't guarantee the existence of a pirate ship, perhaps something similar will come along sooner or later.

[skyagain]

[ hm. he takes a small one himself ]

Wouldn't mind stretching my legs, but I don't know if that's the best idea in this place.

[ hE DOESN'T TRUST THE HOTEL ]

[guestservices]

No? [they think about this.] I guess there are a few people in this hotel who might lose themselves and take advantage of such an opportunity.

[so. valid.]
