(35 ḡ̴̻u̷͌͜ê̴̯s̶̢͑t̵̻͝s̴̡̐ ̴c̴h̴e̶c̴k̷e̶d̸ ̶i̴n̴)

Good morning, esteemed guests. Did you sleep well? We hope you found your accommodations suitable. It did take some time to get your rooms ready, after all.

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.

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.

In addition, should you enter the elevator you will find a new button appears, proudly reading 00. 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.

…speaking of…you may find yourself learning more about some people than others. For the duration of this week, you will find yourself with a connection to your suitemate that cannot be severed. You will be able to feel certain pains and emotions that they feel throughout the week. Nothing brutal, mostly those pesky, annoying feelings you don’t want to share with people. Are you feeling a little embarrassed someone complimented you? Your partner will feel this embarrassment. Got a nasty little papercut from misbehaving? Your partner will feel that, too. And if you don't have a suitemate? Don't worry. You'll find yourself attached to the suitemates right next door to you. Try not to drive each other too insane, hm?

Oh, and we would like to mention…housekeeping came by and has provided everyone with one (1) travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste. Clean your mouths, stinky guests.

[ a noticeable pause ]

It's the only question I could think of to ask that hadn't already been covered by someone else.

[callalilies]

i do appreciate your desire to be novel.

regardless, they have taken all of our combat-trained horses.

training a horse not to be spooked by half the things that pop out of bushes in teyvat is a lot of work.

[highestheim]

Ah, I see.

I realize it's a little late to say as much now, but that additional information may have been useful to provide in your initial post. It may have prevented others from asking why you couldn't just get new horses to replace them...

Or steal them back.

[ someone has to be a braincell around here :( ]

[callalilies]

The post wasn't really mine. I typed my name and that's what came out.

This place is cursed.

Just like all of the other places.

[highestheim]

I'm impressed at how well you took it in stride.

[callalilies]

It's nothing so difficult, I promise.

And it's even easier via text.

[highestheim]

Fair, though I've also seen the opposite. Overreacting in text form never quite made sense to me.

[callalilies]

THESE CAPITAL LETTERS CANNOT HURT YOU

[highestheim]

[ . . . ]

No, they cannot.

[callalilies]

These would have been useful last time...

[highestheim]

In your previous game?

[callalilies]

Yes.

Ugh, "game" is such a foul word and yet I use it myself because that's what it feels like at times.

[highestheim]

My thoughts exactly.

It doesn't help that we all seem to be ignoring our own individual elephants in the room. I understand why, but...

[callalilies]

Is it because inevitably everyone's going to become privy to everyone else's memories at some point or another?

Because that certainly is what happened last time.

[highestheim]

[ lmaooo ]

It's almost as if it's not a coincidence that we all found ourselves here, isn't it?
