the fellowship of the thing The Mishmash Inn (Retired)

[Mat he/him]

Phillip waited for Nerd customers. Surely there were people that respected da gaming! He was anticipating how much he would have to fake his way through knowing what he was talking about. He had found a green work uniform in the closet in the back of the store, and used the restroom across the hall to change into it. He wasn't sure if it was required, but it at least made him feel like he actually had the job.

An announcement crackled through the loudspeakers on the ceiling:

An older fellow walked up to Ella. "Hello, madam. You new here?"

"Yes. I'm-I get to be a librarian, I think. I hope. It's beautiful in here."

"Welcome! How long do you expect to be staying? Do you have any luggage that needs carrying?" Tira says perkily. 

Queen shoved her heavy bag into Tira's arms. "I don't know how long I'll stay, probably just until I'm not so grumpy and tired." She grumbled, then shot a forced smile at Tira. "Sorry if I'm being a bit rude, there's been a lot on my plate lately."

“Hello, I was passing by when I noticed this lovely establishment you have here. I am currently out of a job, do you have any openings?”

"I'm glad you think so. Here: let me show you around."

The older fellow, who introduced himself to be named Mr. Sia, began showing Ella the various Secrets of the library.

Warning! If you are not a Librarian or a higher Employee rank, then looking at the following Secrets is kinda sorta against the rules, and will likely ruin the fun of trying to find them yourself!

Hm. How tenacious.

The Library Secrets:

If a character chooses the right book, things will happen:

• If a player selects the book “There and Back Again, a Hobbit’s Tale by Bilbo Baggins,” they open a secret floor tile to reveal a meeting of the Order of the Scholar. They can choose to join them now, if they wish.
• If a player selects the book “Mistborn,” they open a different floor tile, revealing a staircase that leads down to a Cosmere Shop, where you can buy all your Cosmere needs! Like Shardblades, allomantic metals, and soulstone.
• If a player selects the book “The Great Gatsby,” they find 500 MM.
• If a player selects an old tome in the back, they find a secret passage that leads to the Library-Pool combo room.

I’m going to assume you can only apply for the bottom 2 levels? It’s not explicitly stated that I can’t just apply for Boss, but I’ll assume so.

"The Rave Room is down the hall, upstairs, five doors down the right. You'll recognize it by the three disco balls--one of which is broken--and the layer of glowjuice on the floor."

“Sweet dude!” said Danex, as a backwards neon green baseball hat, neon pink headphones, gold chain, and other various DJ bling appeared on his person.

A group of people came in, requesting rooms. One of them was named Vapor. "Hello! I've been looking for a job ever since I left my Happy Inquisitor Job. Do you have any cooking jobs?" Another one came dressed in a gown and staring at everything. "Do you have any books about Scadrial?" she asked. "And where's the library?"

Vapor nodded and strode towards the cafe.

Mira entered the inn, marvelling at the size of the place. She’d never seen anything like this before.

She wandered over to the receptionist. “I heard this place was hiring? What jobs are available?”
