The Arms Hotel Lobby, Monday [7/7]

Mary was in a good mood after last night's party. Still, she had to wonder where all the flirtation with Jackie Blue was going. It had definitely been very fun, but Mary had rushed into things before and gotten a broken heart in the process. She didn't want to make that mistake again.

Fortunately, she had a lot of paperwork to keep her busy and hopefully keep her mind off Jackie. Even Gunther provided a distraction with his usual argument over the specials board.

The lobby is a big area, if you're not headed to the front desk.

She's looking for any sort of distraction at the front desk.

Charlotte, despite a red nose from the cold that was thankfully clearing up, bustled into the hotel with a large smile and a big basket covered with a cloth. "Mary!" she greeted, sounding a little stuffed up. "Hello!"

"Hi Charlotte!" said Mary, smiling. "You should like you could use some hot tea."

"If you hab some," Charlotte said, setting the basket on the counter, "I'd love sob, tank you. And these," she nudged it forward, "are for you. I feel so terrible missing your barty last night, but ~~my mun FAILS~~ I've just had this colb all weekebb. It's finally cleared ub, but a day too late, I'm abraid. And don't worry; the muffins are frob J,GOB, I didn't bmake theb with my colb, but I wanted to do sobthig for missing it."

"Thank you!" said Mary, taking a peek in the basket. J,GOB made the best muffins, even better than Gunther's, though she wasn't going to say that while he was within earshot.

"Don't worry about missing the party. I completely understand, and I expected that not everyone would be able to make it, considering how busy the first week of the term is," she added. "I'll have Gunther bring some pomegranate green tea. You sound like you could use some antioxidants."

"Oh, that sounds wobnerful," Charlotte said. "Ab I really dib want to make it, but I wab in no stbate aball. How'd it go, though? Well?"

"It went very nicely," said Mary. "And no one said anything about Gunther filling the champagne fountain with Sierra Mist. I had a nice time getting to know some of the new arrivals in town, like Irulan and Jackie."

Gunther brought out a tray with the tea service. He frowned a bit when Mary mentioned his Sierra Mist fountain and made his retreat back to the kitchen.

Charlotte tried her very best to keep down a smile of amusement at the look on Gunther's face. "That soubs great! Irulan is bery fun; I helbed decorate her beaudibul home and she's a blast to take shobbing. I haben't met Jackie, yet, though."

"If you go to visit Jackie's store, be prepared," said Mary with a smirk. "When she calls it Dite's Decadent Delights, she's not kidding!"

"Anb I hbear ib's not talbking heabenly choblates, eiber," said Charlotte with a scandalous lift of her eyebrows.

"There were some chocolate lollipops, but they were rather human-shaped," said Mary, unable to hold back a giggle as she remembered. "And when you walked in, Jackie offered you a choice of male or female."

Charlotte's hand was instantly over her very red face. Not even years of hanging around Samantha when she was in New York could get her to stop being embarrassed over things like that; it would be impossible now that distance had probably desensitized. "Oh, thab's terrible!" she said, though she sounded incredibly amused, even if sheepishly so.

She'd seen male ones before and was trying very, very hard not to think about the female ones.

"I haven't had a chance to open the gift she left me, but I imagine it will be very interesting," said Mary, amused. "She also invited me to dinner in her suite and told me to bring it with me."

"Oh, bell, tat's..."

More than she probably needed to know.

"Oh...."

There was a word, Charlotte knew there was a word, and would readily blame the remnants of her cold.

"...interbesting."

Cue some nervous laughter from Mary. "Interesting might be an understatement," she said.

"Well, bare you goibing to bog?" Charlotte asked, eyes wide. Not that she'd suggest being rude of course, but she would be taking a rain check on that one herself.

"I'm thinking about it, but in the end, I'll probably go. I don't have anything to lose," said Mary. She'd probably done worse in the past few weeks.

"...Thab's...true," Charlotte said, carefully, after a moment to think about it as thoroughly as she could through the remnants of her cold.

If you have a character who is staying at the Arms, temporarily or not, and they're not on this list (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pz2yiwm77W2B1lfvw8XhKAA), please let me know!

Also, Mary is still looking to hire someone. I have Saturday and Sunday available, although I'm flexible and Tuesday or Thursday could be up for grabs.
