The Pentagon welcomes you...
You wake up from a doze seated in a firm lobby chair. Walked through a set of automatic sliding doors, bag in tow. Where did you get that bag? Listen, don't worry about it.
- All guests to the Pentagon arrived with a medium-sized standard rolling bag. It is filled with any items they would have brought with them if they had time to pack a standard rolling bag before they left. Weapons are okay!
- All guests may bring one living animal. The animal will retain any powers it may have as long as it is not worldbreaking.
- All guests will have their powers. They will not be allowed to use it to break the world. They may break other things, but they will be pulled aside by one of the receptionists for a Talking To. They may be barred from the hotel for the night and it gets cold outside the Pentagon!
- Guests are not limited to standard entry to the hotel. However, if they break hotel property upon entry, they will be expected to pay for repairs. Method of payment will come as soon as I'm not fuckballs tired.
Things to do:
- Check in! There is a handy dandy receptionist at the front desk ready to take your name and your reservation. Yes, you have a reservation! It's here, in this shared suite. You don't remember making that reservation? What a pity. Well, while we get you resituated in the system, I suppose you will have to make peace with your roommate. Please don't fuck up your relationship with your roommate, that would be so terribly awkward. If you would like to trade rooms, that is fine, but please notify the front desk with all involved parties with the details of the room change! Also, please allow one day for admin to catch up with bookings before you trade rooms! Try to be nice to your one night roomie okay okaywelcome nerds. enjoy your stay!
- Get breakfast! A free continental breakfast is served from 6 am to 10 am. Please come by for fresh food!
- Chill in the lobby! When it isn't doubling as the breakfast area, the lobby area functions as both a waiting room, a meeting place, and a chill seating area in case you don't want to eat your gas station hotdog at the gas station like a neanderthal. wow.
- Find your room!Each suite has a:
- kitchenette (one pot, one pan, plastic silverware, paper plates and bowls. no food. that's at the gas station across the street.)
- microwave
- fridge (with drinks! you will have to pay for them if you take them. it's going to be Esspensive.)
- two beds (small, but very comfy)
- bathroom with bath and shower (with standard toiletries. if you need more, you can call the front desk! there are towels, but if you make a real mess, call the front desk for fresh ones.)
- toilet (no bidet)
- closet (3 hangers, one extra set of sheets, one extra comforter, two extra pillows, a small ironing board, an iron)
- shared side table (two drawer compartments, one for each bed; there are outlets for electronics)
- wardrobe (just one, but it's big! please share.)
- desk with rolling chair (just one! again, please share. also: a notepad with a cheap ballpoint pen, a phone, and a phone directory for standard hotel amenities)
- pullout bed couch (for more guests! this bed is far less comfy than the standard beds.)
- television (with standard cable and standard trash programming. nothing particular stands out about the programming.)
- book shop? ... There is a bookshop where the gift shop should be. Where did it come from? Perhaps it's always been there, in the same way the faceless staff of the Pentagon have always been there. There is currently caution tape over the front entrance. Although the entrance isn't locked, it is not advised to enter the bookshop early. Who knows what might happen (the people who were in the City knows what will happen no don't touch that—)
- gas station? across the street? The street stretches into the horizon. This place is flat. so very flat. but there's a gas station.- fresh produce (limited, but good variety. may be slightly wilted.)How do you pay? the gas station guy will charge it to your room! Who's paying for your room? Erm. Tehe. pero
- standard basic groceries (including pet food for your Living Creatures)
- liquor section (we in the south now boyzzz)
- lotto ticket machine (?)
- chargers/small electronics
- wall o candy
- basic amenities and toiletries(fancier than hotel amenities but not by much)
- magazines!
- slushy machine
- coffee machine
- rolling hotdogs
- hot fast food
- car maintenance products. you know. for your car
- gas station guy. nice guy
You can also go to the gas station guy and buy a bus ticket to Sin City for a vacay. Sin City is great! Lots to do in Sin City. Buses to Sin City leave every Wednesday evening — don't be late! However, after a month at maximum, you will be back in your room in the Pentagon. Guess the hotel likes you!
Other hotel amenities. This hotel isn't 5 star, but it isn't 3 star either! Standard fancy hotel amenities, such as a small gym, a pool and sauna, a well maintained laundry room, a small spa, and a business center with computers and print station also exist. The only amenity that does not exist is the standard fancy hotel restaurant. Make your food yourselves!!

At ease. [ is the dark, distant rumble of a voice that begins at the back of the dragon's throat and ends in surround sound. ] I have no reason to kill you, yet. You need not invoke your ancestors for a reason so petty.
no subject
I will invoke the fucking ancestors whenever I please! They may not technically be my ancestors, but they fucking owe me. Let me go. I am a lady, fuckface.
no subject
My claw holds women the same way it holds men.
no subject
Okay, and? That makes you a coward and a heathen. Am I supposed to be impressed?
no subject
a single, gold-rimmed eye bleeds red down at the blond of her pleated braids. the long, pale curve of his teeth resembles that of a kilometre-long smile. ]
In my country, men do not sleep in the same room as women. In my religion, women wear veils. Heathen is a relative word that has little meaning here. However, who is the one who sought to flee? It seems that 'coward' is still an apt descriptor for one of us.
no subject
A coward, as far as I know, is someone who plays with the lives of the small and defenseless, rather than fight the battles of the great. They are scared of their so called equals, so they choose to pick battles with their lessers to soothe their fragile egos. Are you picking up what I'm putting down, shit for brains?
no subject
[ that single, gold-rimmed eye narrows. ] But that can change, woman.
no subject
Okay, big man. Rock me. What do I have left to lose?
[ Nothing. Literally nothing. She has lost everything. She's done. She's been done. ]
no subject
Nothing and everything, it seems.
no subject
Can you, like, speed it up? I mean, I have womanly hysterics and irrationality for days, but if you're gonna let me dangle, I'm gonna eventually run out of fucks to contribute to this spectacle. Or do you want me to look even more stupid? Are you that much of a barbarian? This is going to get exponentially stupider the longer you wait to eat me or something.
no subject
the long length of him bends in the sky like ink spilled across unpolished glass. ]
I am merely thinking. That is something you are not doing so well. If I had intended to eat you, would I bother with a charade like this? Not to mention you would hardly make a mouthful. It's a waste.
no subject
What, do I have to ask for permission to be hysterical now? Fuck you. Honestly. Holy shit, we are really high up.

[ ... A deep breath. She's trying to remember what she's said to humans in the midst of hysterics. Breathe. Don't swallow your tongue. ]
Unbelievable that you're trying to get me to answer you like this is a normal conversation. Like, you even don't know the first thing about being human? Hell, I'm not even human, and I know trying to talk to someone without any attempt to, like, relate to their feelings or whatever is fucking stupid. I mean, I guess you don't have a wife, so no one's there to take care of relations for you, but like, seriously, grow up and get one if you can't talk to people yourself.
no subject
And what do you know about taking a wife?
no subject
[ ... ]
Was a wife. Whatever. Look, just drop me.
