"Well, if anybody ever needs your help with anything, then help them. Staff quarters is on the third floor behind the ballroom. Apart from that..." He shrugs. "Just do the librarian thing."

Ella nodded, looking around to see if anyone needed her help. When she could see no one immediately looking for help, she went to a desk that appeared to be for her, then took a seat, pulling a book from a nearby shelf. 

This is living the dream. She thought, sighing as she relaxed, letting herself into another world.

"We're always hiring, yes. Just check the first post in the thread to see what jobs are available." Tina smiles sweetly.

Mira scanned the list of jobs. Lifeguard... she couldn’t swim. Deskboi... she was not going back to retail. Librarian... and be surrounded by stuffy old books all day? No thanks.

“We have a ballroom and a rave room?” thinks Danex, still DJ-ing to an empty room. “We have two entire rooms just for two different kinds of dancing?”

[Turtle they/them]

“Uhhh hi.” Evrena says, trying to get the attention of the people in the odd inn. “How much would it cost to stay here for four days, maybe more?”

"It's free! Would you like a room, then?" Tira responds.

[Turtle they/them]

“Yep.” Evrena Said, trying to act a lot more confident than die actually was.  “So, where should I go?”

Tira checks her computer. "You'll be in room A4. Here's your key! Would you like to be upgraded to Copper Guest, free of charge?"

[Turtle they/them]

“Sure!” She says “What exactly does that do?”

We actually upgrade people to Copper Guests automatically if they plan on staying over a night. Coppers are given rooms on Floor 2: B1 - B12, I think.

An announcement calls through the loudspeaker. "To all employees, your wages have been updated. Please check your cards to see you new balance."

"I've just received information that your room is actually B4. It means you have an upgraded room."

The Café is open!

Today's special: Donuts with whatever you can imagine on them

Trivia question: Same as the last two days, since no one answered it! What friend and other author did Brandon reference in Well of Ascension by naming a character after him?

We also have a spicy new addition to our offerings, if you know where to look.

"Cool." Evrena said "Any coffee donuts?"

Demoux? Cuz he made some promise that he'd become a world hopper and have a daughter n stuff. I think its in the preface.

Nope, sorry.

"I'm sure we can figure out a way to do that. @Vapor, do you think we should soak the donut in coffee before frying it, make a coffee glaze somehow, or sprinkle coffee grounds on top? What would constitute a coffee donut?"

"I think doing all three would make a coffee donut, I just really like coffee. Do you have coffee?"

I had forgotten about that, though. Thanks for the reminder. I hope there's not another character who also fits this

"We have coffee. I'm not sure how the machine works but it can't be that hard, right?"

FRANCE!!!!

A man walks into the Inn, hands Tina a card, and then stalks into the Breakfast Buffet. He takes a seat by himself in a booth, warily eyeing everybody there. You don't think anything of him until you spot a flicker of movement from his hands; so fast you only barely spotted it.

[Turtle they/them]

"hey, who's that guy?" Evrena asks
