Who: Anyone in the Goldenrod Hotel
Where: The Goldenrod City Hotel
When: Starting at 5:00 PM on December 19th and ending at 4:00 AM on December 20th.
Summary: POWER OUTAGE IN THE GOLDENROD CITY HOTEL. See here for details!
Rating: Probably PG to PG-13.
Log:
A pair of deep, enormous red eyes sat in front of the receptionist and stared, intensely.
The receptionist pursed her lips and frowned, staring back through a pair of horn-rimmed glasses.
Claudy's enormously fluffy feet were reflected neatly on the glossy countertop, as were the wickedly-sharp talons that stuck out of them.
Those were the main things keeping the unfortunate receptionist on duty from shooing the owl Pokemon, although the beak wasn't much of an incentive, either.
"Um... young lady," she said hesitantly, trying to lean around the large bird, her chair creaking. "The lobby is intended to be a space for EVERYBODY..."
"And it still IS a space for everybody," Heather said, unloading a shoulderful of soft, folded blankets onto one of the lobby's sofas and dusting her hands off. Several other blankets had already been partially tied up over the back of the couch and stretched out to attach at the corners to rows of chairs that were painstakingly arranged in aesthetically-pleasing, tunnel-wall-like patterns. There were also the beginnings of several pillow-built barricades, and even some large cardboard boxes standing by on reserve, should the pillows run out before construction was complete. "It's just a COOLER space for everybody."
The receptionist's frown grew and she sighed, rubbing her temples and trying to ignore the Noctowl's unblinking stare. She was fairly certain that it had been placed there SOLELY to distract her from stopping the construction of 'New Lobby'-- and it was doing a fairly good job.
Why did the difficult visitors ALWAYS come downstairs while SHE was on desk duty?
Meanwhile, the wind howled outside, piling snow against the glass doors to the outside and plastering against the windows-- not that there was much to see out there, besides flying snow. It blotted out even the rest of the city's lights, which normally lit up the plaza outside like daylight even after dusk.
"Miss, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to take all that down," she said for the fifth time in the past half-hour, and as usual, she was completely ignored as the scruffy blond girl tied a few more blankets up (with some difficulty due to her bandaged hands).
Biting her lip, she started to stand up.
Maybe if she just went over and started... taking all the blankets down herself--
And then suddenly, there was a low mooooooan of electricity deciding spontaneously that life wasn't worth it anymore and turning itself off.
The lights went out.
Silence reigned in the lobby.
.... for about five seconds.
"Oh my goodness..."
"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED--"
"/OLD WOMAN OWL SCREAM"
[Feel free to make your own threads! They can be down in the lobby, they can be up in the rooms, they can be anywhere! Is your character in the bathroom plucking their eyebrows when the lights go out? WE WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, SO GO FOR IT. Are they falling down the stairs? POST THAT SHIT.]
[Threadhopping/jacking is totally encouraged, so TAG AROUND TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT, MY DUDES. If your own thread isn't getting replies right away, go ahead and jump in somewhere else! Look out for other characters in the same areas as yours-- lobby, hallways, staircases, etc! Have fun!]

EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM
There's a whole lot of rushing around by staff as they scurry to try and find candles or at least some luminescent Pokemon, and at least one old man who had been reading a newspaper in the corner was now yelling loudly about bad service and insisting that they "turn the lights back on immediately."
Somewhere near Ken, at least two people smacked right into each other. It sounded painful.
And in the darkness, it was damn hard to tell where to go!
BUT, there was at least ONE point of light.
Or... well, two.
The pair of big, circular red eyes over on the counter turned towards Ken and then turned sideways as their owner tilted her head. WHATUP, KID?
Walk towards the big red eyes, y/n?
BUT I DON'T LIKE WORMS D8
NNNNNNNNNNNN
Hell. No.
Ken was not going to attempt going anywhere so long as people were smacking into each other. He is just going to STAY CLOSE TO THE WALL AND WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO CHILL OUT, SOB.
Re: BUT I DON'T LIKE WORMS D8
Luckily, because the hotel staff, for the most part, does tend to have a decent head on their shoulders, it's only maybe about half an hour until there's some candles lit-- very dimly illuminating the lobby. It's not much, but it's at least enough to see without walking straight into something that's two inches in front of you.
The lobby's full of people now-- confused and worried, most of them-- there's a few kids running around like hooligans. Over on the counter, the Noctowl stands vigil-- and in the sitting area...
.... Well there does not appear to be much of a sitting area anymore. Instead there just seems to be a network of blankets and pillows. ... And it's still under construction.
BUT I DON'T LIKE WORMS D8
After a good half a minute of staring, and glancing around to make sure no one was watching him--He spoke up. "Um... hello?" His trademark slightly confused greeting!
no subject
When he draws up to it and speaks his querulous greeting, a light appears, somewhere deep inside the yawning cave of blankets and pillows-- that distinctive blue-white light of 'Gear screen lighting up-- although in the dark, it probably looks fairly ghostly.
Its appearance is accompanied by a wavering, overdramatic moan.
"OOooOOooo-- ... oh wait, sorry. Thought you were someone else."
A freckly fave pokes out from the fort.
"Hi there!"
Heather stop yer trollin.

"S'not important. Anyway, I happen to be building the most epic blanket fort known to mankind."
She gestures around to the admittedly-pretty-impressive-thus-far structure, crafted lovingly from the fifty zillion blankets that Phoenix has been giving her over the past week or so.

"Thaaaat's the general idea! I started building it before the outage, but... kinda glad I did. It's a lot warmer than everyones' rooms will be upstairs, that's for sure. Wanna help me build?"
It looks like there's a few other people already joined in around the edges of this blanket/pillow 'empire'-- given the number of chairs, couches, and pillows around, there sure is plenty of material.

"S'pretty easy! Here--" She pulls out a spare blanket from the pile that had been steadily accumulating in her room (thanks to a certain
worrywartlawyer) and hands one end to him. "Take this end and tie it onto those chair handles over there-- that way it'll stretch over that whole little patch of carpet, see? Like a canopy."no subject
no subject
"... Yeah, looks fine! It doesn't have to be perfect, just has to hold."
She stands up, dusting her hands off.
"Never built a fort before, huh?
no subject

Big grin.
"N'fact, I'd say there's no better opportunity."
... Meanwhile that poor receptionist is standing over by the counter and looking on in dismay. 8(

Heather... is not exactly a fantastic role model. S-sorry Ken.
"Here, we can put that one over there!"
She points to the uh... dim outline of a sort of zig-zaggy wall of couch cushions.

SHE'S STARTING TO NOTICE THIS. Kid must be sheltered, jeez. Poor guy.
no subject
He draaaaaaaags the blanket to tie it to a... something. "How big is this gonna be, anyway?"
no subject
"As big as I can make it 'till somebody starts wrecking it!"
no subject
no subject
"Couldn'tve said it better myself!"
Which of course meant YES. BUILD AWAY.
This was gonna be the friggin' coolest fort ever to exist.

"Ken, by the way."

"Ken? Awesome. Name's Heather."
