Indeed. The same is true for mine. Personal and meant to be something I will appreciate. It's odd.

...By the way, if you haven't heard, you can request a small personal item from the front desk.

[ tilts his head ]

Something other than toiletries?

[outsidebones]

I received face paint. I don't get the impression it can be something much better than that.

[highestheim]

I see... I'll keep that in mind the next time I go downstairs. Thank you for letting me know.

I assume there's no physical entity to give you the items?

[outsidebones]

No, the same ridiculous ghosts and spirits.

[highestheim]

I'm not surprised. [ beat ] Well, I'll go take a look for myself, then. Thank you again.

Sorry to bother you, but—how exactly did you phrase your request?

[outsidebones]

The request? [hmm.] I simply told them I required a toothbrush and face paint in my room.

[highestheim]

Ah.

When you said "personal item," I assumed something more... well, personal. Like an item from home. [ beat ] That's on me for not asking for more details.

[outsidebones]

Hardly, no. They aren't going to hand out anything so useful for free. But surely there is something you would be more comfortable if you had on hand?

[highestheim]

... Not really. Everything that's already been provided is enough for me, I think.

[ what's luxury amenities... ]

[outsidebones]

Suit yourself.

...What did you ask for?

[highestheim]

...a small trinket from home.
