[ with their new hotel keys, hope makes his way up to the little dipper hall to check out his room! it's more of a "get your bearings" kind of excursion rather than a "it's been two hours since i checked in and sean has finally let me into my fuckin room and i am just ready to die on this bed" one, though; he's not planning on settling down just yet.
naturally, this leads to him checking out the bathroom... ~coincidentally~ at the same time as the other person staying here. ]
Oh, um, hi there. You must be Harrowhark?

[oh. she jumps slightly when the bathroom door unlocks, having just been inspecting it, and then tries to play it off like she didn't. there's a large sword at her side, way too big for her.]
...Yes, of course. And you are Hope, I suppose.
...Yes, of course. And you are Hope, I suppose.
[ being a final fantasy, hope is not deterred at all by small girl with big sword! running into a girl in a bathroom is, however, a different story, ]
That would be me. [ beat ] Sorry, if you were, um, planning on using the bathroom for anything, please feel free to go ahead. I wouldn't want to infringe upon your privacy—I was just looking around to see what these rooms have to offer.

[she sighs deeply.]
I wasn't going to use it, but really - giving us these big rooms and expecting this arrangement to be suitable.
I will be blocking your door at night I'm afraid. No offense, but I don't know you whatsoever.

[ he just nods politely! any o_O feelings he may or may not have are well-hidden. ]
I understand. If worst comes to worst, I can go down to the lobby. [ ... ] Would it help if we set a schedule for things like showers and morning routines? If... that would ease your discomfort in any way.

...Yes. That would be perfectly acceptable. I have no objection to your using the facilities provided you are tidy and I am aware of when you will be in there. Whatever time you prefer, it is yours.
I can wake up in the morning and be out of the bathroom by 8 AM. Does that work for you?
[ . . . ]
Unless, um... things like field trips and adventures happen while we're here. I don't want to jinx anything, but I have a strong feeling they will, given the other similarities between our respective games.

[a curt nod.]
That works quite well. And I am not a monster. If you are injured, I will not prevent your access.
Honestly, I do appreciate your amenability. I am rather particular about the ingresses and egresses to my private quarters.

[ he nods back!! he is polite!! ]
Of course. I promise I'm not that kind of person, but I also understand that you can't just take my word for it. You're well within your rights to set any boundaries you see fit.

I don't particularly think you are, no. But I don't tend to assume.
...Is your room...satisfactory?
[she's such a weirdo.]

It's...
"Familiar" is the best way I can describe it. We can probably chalk that up to the same method used by whatever entity that brought us here to get the information about us in the guest book in the lobby.

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?

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

I'm not surprised. [ beat ] Well, I'll go take a look for myself, then. Thank you again.
[ he bows his head a little and goes back over to his room! ... about ten minutes later, though, he's back and knocking on harrow's door. ]
Sorry to bother you, but—how exactly did you phrase your request?

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

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

Harrowhark, you may leave the barricade on my side of the suite up in the morning. In an effort to be transparent and establish a timeline of my actions, I'm letting you know I'll be spending the night at Starshine's with Claude. If you feel any sudden emotional upsurges tonight, it was probably because of him.
I hope to see you tomorrow.
I hope to see you tomorrow.
Understood. Please stay safe to the extent you are able to. I am not yet certain where I will spend the night, but it will be with Mollymauk and Lup.
