The Arms Hotel Lobby, Friday

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Working wasn't bad. River could sit completely still behind the desk for an hour at least and observe the flowers neatly arranged in a vase, exploring every detail. She could also talk to the guests and to other staff when necessary.

Gunther had asked her to put up the following sign:

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!
Today's Specials
Mozzarella and Mixed Leaf Salad with Mint, Peach and Prosciutto

Grilled Mahi-Mahi, Ceviche-Style

Gunther had looked horrified at River's menu suggestions.

[The Arms Hotel is open.]

Talk to River

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

She'll be happy to try and help you. Or just talk.

Don't talk to River

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

It's a big hotel, after all.

OOC

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

This is important.

John approached the front desk. Hey! It's that Brooke girl! No, Stream. Creek? River? Estuary? Crap. Oooooh, lunch specials!

Re: Talk to River

River shifted her gaze from the flowers to John. "Yes?" she asked.

"Hi. Just interested in today's specials," he said. "And... I'm outta towels." He looked a bit sheepish.

Re: Talk to River

River made a note of that. "Towels. How many?"

Re: Talk to River

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Three or four?" he replied. "That should be plenty."

Re: Talk to River

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Will be delivered to your room shortly," River replied solemnly.

Re: Talk to River

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," he said, dignifiedly. And the specials? They're good? Might as well send that, too."

Re: Talk to River

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Gunther claims they're good." River still thought they would have been better with an addition of something sweet. "Either or both."

Re: Talk to River

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Eh, both," he said. "Can always keep 'em as leftovers," he said with a smile.

Re: Talk to River

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

This made sense. River wrote this down. "Will be delivered with the towels," she replied.

"Great!" he said. "I, uh, guess I'll be in my room, waiting, then." See ya then, Tributary, he thought. Except that's not her name, dammit.

Re: Talk to River

River nodded, then flinched a little as she picked up his thoughts. Tributary had been the name of one of her daughters from another reality.

John didn't know what it was, but every time he was around this girl, she was on tenderhooks. Was he that bad a guy? Creepy, much? He started to leave, wondering.
