beware the library ghost!

To my fellow guests:

First, I would like to thank everyone who attended Miss Amelia's book club meeting last week. Please remember to thank her for organizing it!

Secondly:

I'm sure we are all aware of supernatural or occult happenings taking place at the hotel from time to time.

That being the case, I would highly discourage anyone from remaining on the library floor after-hours. For one, it seems to decisively close at midnight, leaving you with no way to return to your suite, but also, it appears that a ghost may be haunting the premises thereafter.

[ or, you know, get trapped on purpose to have your own ghostly encounter (?) she's not your boss. ]

All to say: it may be unwise to spend the night at the library, no matter your skillset or ability or no matter how comfortable and cozy the seating there may be. The library houses many great works from across the universe, and I cannot stress enough the importance of ensuring no harm comes to such a collection. It would be best if we simply refrain from angering the after-hours ghost there.

So... please plan your visits accordingly.

Sincerely,
Sumina Heartleaf

I'm afraid I may have offended her recently, which is likely most of the reason why. I would like things to remain friendly, and given what a private person Ms. Steinbeck is, I worry that word getting around might trouble her. Silly of me, I realize. I'm most certainly overthinking things.

[He has some idea of why he's doing exactly that, but he's not certain he should commit that to text here.]

"Food coma." Is that what people call it here? I've certainly seen such things before, but never heard a name for it.

[Surely focusing on that will distract him from all these worrying crush feelings.]

[ Meanwhile, Sumina, who is attempting to trade this goss to Astarion... ]

Perhaps you are, or perhaps not, but regardless, how other people behave or react to the information is not your responsibility, Gale. Besides that, I think Ms. Amelia is more than capable of addressing such a situation herself, too, if it came down to it.

[ ...if it ends up with her getting scolded for gossiping with Astarion somewhere down the line, well!! That's how it be. ]

"Food coma" is what Mr. Gojo called it, which means it could very well be a term that he and he alone uses.

[netherese]

Ah, yes, that is very well possible. One must consider the source in such cases, and fond as I am of him, he certainly does follow the beat of his own drum, doesn't he?

[You trade that hot goss, Sumina. Don't worry about what an anxious wizard thinks!]

I do thank you for helping to soothe my nerves. You're quite right, there's nothing to worry about.

[airdnd]

Yes, though even that feels like an understatement.

[ (Affectionate) (haha jk) (unless..?) ]

You're very welcome, Gale. I think Ms. Amelia is rather fortunate to have a friend who is so concerned over her.

[netherese]

You're very kind to say so, Sumina. Thank you again for the blanket, it was quite thoughtful of you. I do hope your next visit to the library isn't quite so adventurous!
