˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWellㅤ—ㅤbest CUSTOMER SERVICE face ! Maybe he would get to hear some interesting stories from the man ! Or maybe he would have to yell for HOTEL SECURITY. Hopefully it was the former.

For him, the job would have been EASYㅤ—ㅤeven if he was more accustomed to smaller pocket watches than larger clocks. Unfortunately for him, someone had placed the tools on a shelf that was FAR too high for someone of his petite stature to retrieve. It didn't look like a chair would help him either.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤGREAT. if he doesn't figure this out soon, he'll definitely be running late with his duties !

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWellㅤ—ㅤI'd like to TRAVEL THE GALAXY ! My Grandpa's an adventurer and I want to be just like him ! Butㅤ—ㅤhe's a seafarer and I think I'd like to go on the ASTRAL EXPRESS instead if they'd let me !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤYes ! Sort of ! This is the Dreamflux Reef ! It's not supposed to be OPEN to the publicㅤ—ㅤbut I PROMISE it's not as scary or intimidating as it seems !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤIf this man would rather not BE here though, then as a bellboy, then he had to respect that. Even if he was technically off the clock at the moment.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWould you like any assistance getting back to the SWEET DREAM ? I could see if Gallagher is willing to let me borrow Sleepie to help you ! I'm sure he won't mind !ㅤ❜

“You know, every time I think I have the right of way the environment really does like to take a turn...” 

Probably expected of the Dreamscape, now that he thought about it. Heck, even the mere idea of a pleasant sleep was something he had given up on somewhere around his 30th birthday, so Penacony was an all-around new experience. 

He was sure he probably looked silly to the young boy, but figuring out the navigation necessities would likely make things easier in the long run. “So--if I’m understanding correctly, this is essentially like the wilds then—well, as far as dream logic goes anyways.” It certainly wasn’t the moment of Sol anymore, which was a shame. 

He had been having a rather nice conversation with the museum tour guide, too...

This man had to give up his OWN room in order for the Trailblazers to have one. He had ALSO heard of the extraordinary efforts this man had went through to get that particular room. What was it ? A lucky block number, a lucky floor, and a lucky room number ? This man must have really valued LUCK. He probably wasn't entirely happy about giving his room away.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤSilently hoping the man wouldn't be too irritable, the bellboy walks up to the man with a friendly SMILE on his face.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWelcome to The Reverie, Mister ! I apologize for the inconvenience you faced earlier ! Would you like any ASSISTANCE bringing your belongings up to your room ?ㅤ❜

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑻𝒐 𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑷𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒚, a meeting like this would have been a dream come true. Not many people would have ever gotten the chance to even see the famous MISS ROBIN; let alone talk to her face to face. Had such a meeting happened in any other occasion, he would have been HAPPY ! He had always been a big fan of the Halovian singer and her music and he always WOULD be.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤYeahㅤ—ㅤyou don't look so WELL, Miss Robin ! I don't think being sleepy would help with your practice very muchㅤ—ㅤor your WELLBEING !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe child speaks; the look on his face showing that he knew FIRSTHAND about what fatigue does to a person. Heㅤ—ㅤmay or may not have fallen asleep on the clock a few times. But he still got his WORK done !

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑯𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒅𝒎𝒊𝒕, 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 the man to want to leave the Dreamflux Reef. The place was just as much part of Penacony as was the Sweet Dream and this was the place he called HOME. But most guests who somehow lost their way and found themselves in the Dreamflux Reef were usually pretty SHAKEN UP and wanted to go back to the Sweet Dream.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWhen the man says that he wants to STAY, the child gives him a bright smile. It wasn't often he got to give tours of his home. Most of his time was taken up by the Reverie Hotel or the Sweet Dream and the other residents of the Dreamflux Reef had to take care of them.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI'm GLAD you think that ! The Dreamflux Reef has seen better days, sureㅤ—ㅤbut we're still doing our best to keep the place together ! We have a bunch of shops still and a beautiful garden ! And we even have a shop where all of the staff are instruments like the ones that perform in the Sweet Dream ! If that doesn't interest you, we can simply take a walk ! Even if it's a bit bleak; the scenery is still quite LOVELY.ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤA pause upon the mention of the other guide failing to mention the Dreamflux Reef. He couldㅤ—ㅤprobably guess WHY none of the other guides had mentioned it.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWellㅤ—ㅤI think The Family doesn't really LIKE Dreamflux Reef. They don't typically ADVERTISE this place to the guests. Most people here were either born here or just wound up here in their travels. But I think I can still show you around the place as a RESIDENT and not a tour guide ! Where would you like to go ?ㅤ❜

“Actually? It seems more real than the sweet dream.” Empty, clear energy of struggle, there was something a bit more real feeling the raw experience of people just trying to live around him rather than the feeling of people just accepting the nice lies they’re being fed. 

Maybe it could help them with... 

"If it’s alright, I’d like to look around a bit. Ah—without disturbing anyone or being intruding. The guide never mentioned this area so I’m a bit curious about its existence.” Or maybe she didn’t have the time to say? It was hard to remember. 

There was just the strange sensation of drifting, or rather being pulled through a hole. 

“It’s quite different here. Bleak, but I can feel effort that’s been put into turning this part of the Dream into its own close and caring community.” A pause. “Well, as close as I can imagine possible. I’d be lying if the fellow sitting in the bin didn’t paint an interesting image.”

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤA thief ? I DON'T know anything about thieves here in Penacony, sorry !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈. Penacony was meant to be a SAFE place where the guests could relax and forget about all their problems. If there were thieves , that would definitely fill the guests with ANXIETY and make them want to leave the Sweet Dream. Now that he thought about it thoughㅤ—ㅤ

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤW - well, now that you mention itㅤ—ㅤI think my friend Gallagher might have mentioned SOME thieveries taking place recently !ㅤ❜

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑶𝒉. 𝑶𝒉, 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚. What was HE doing in the Reverie Hotel's lobby ? Shouldn't he have been with the rest of the Oak Family at the Moment of Morning Dew taking care of the complicated business and political matters in Penacony ?

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThose questions quickly dissolved; turning into slight panic as the bellboy soon realized that the Halovian was approaching HIM.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤUH - OH. What did he do ? Was he in trouble or something ? Sure, he may or may not have fallen asleep while cleaning the halls not too long agoㅤ—ㅤbut he managed to get the job done on time ! Even the staff remarked that there wasn't a single speck of dust left behind. SURELY, it wasn't that !

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤH - Hello, Mister Sunday ! How is the Reverie Hotel treating you ? Can I HELP YOU with anything ?ㅤ❜

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒖𝒑 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏. The bellboy had a lot more questions than answers for the older man. Unfortunately thoughㅤ—ㅤHE was supposed to be the guide here. Those questions would have to wait.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤBut what WOULD satisfy the man's desire for swordplay ? Penacony wasn't exactly a place where people often carried swords around. He was silent for a moment; thinking of what could fit that description.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤHmmㅤ—ㅤwell, I know the Moment of Scorchsand hosts ACTION CHALLENGES where people test their strength and skills ! I'm not sure if people use swords there but they might !ㅤ❜

"You know, young boy. You remind me of something...."

His self, his past, his youth before that fatal day that put that mark of shame into his face. But he's not one to dwell too deeply, less he searches for a stronger enemy to end it all. The planet of dreams, the city of Penacony...it is a place to easy to distract. Not enough strong people though, his sword useless in a place like this.

"Geez, are there any good swordsmen in this place even?"

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤUpon his question, the bellboy remains quiet for a brief moment as he gave it some thought. Come to think of it, there WAS a woman lingering around the Reverie's lobby that fit that description.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI believe that woman was waiting around in the Reverie's lobby ! I'm not certain if she's still here thoughㅤ—ㅤthe staff DIDN'T seem to want to let her in !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI can't really give out other people's room numbers without their consentㅤ—ㅤbut I can ACCOMPANY you to the front desk so you can ask if you'd like !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThat was assuming the woman HAD a room reservedㅤ—ㅤwhich there was a very real chance she did not.

starters from hercules! / accepting

@indeliblepromise: " you sure this is the right place ? " ( Misha to Elijah ! )

He looks around, checks the room number and punches the door a couple times, hurting his hand in the process, then sucking in air through his teeth, as he'd hate to get smacked again for teaching a child to swear.

"If she gave me the wrong number on purpose, I swear to all Aeons in existence..." Eli takes a deep breath.

"That's fine, that's fine, I'm not mad at all... have you seen a lady wearing black and red, has white hair, and has some sorta pig creature with her? She's uh... a coworker of mine."

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔 was just another part of the job. The job was fulfilling; especially when he got to talk to the NICER guestsㅤ—ㅤbut it was NEVER any fun dealing with the rude ones. He always got so flustered and wound up embarrassing himself even FURTHER. The disappointment and shame with himself was even worse.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤHearing the galaxy ranger's words though, all of those feelings were quickly reduced to PANIC.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤW - wait ! You don't have to do that ! Iㅤ—ㅤI mean, I appreciate your willingness to defend me butㅤ—ㅤVIOLENCE isn't allowed in the Reverie ! I don't want you to get in TROUBLE because of me ! ㅤ❜

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑶𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 amicableㅤ—ㅤand it still WAS. The Bellboy was ALWAYS polite and kind to everyone he had met; no matter who or what they were. Butㅤ—ㅤmaybe it was those Watchmaker instincts; but he had a BAD feeling about this man. Could such a seemingly benevolent person really be the one trying to bring about THE ORDER unto Penacony ?

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤIf that were the case too, it meant that SOMEHOW Gallagher and Sleepie hadn't been able to stop him. And THAT meant he would have to warn the Nameless he had invited to the Charmony festival. He had to worm his way out of THIS first though. Hopefully he was as cool and charming as his Grandpa had been.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWell, that's OKAY ! If Miss Robin prefers to think of me as an ordinary bellboy, I'm fine with that ! Whether I'm just a bellboy or the Watchmaker, I'll do my best to make Miss Robin and the other Dreamchasers of Penacony HAPPY ! ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤㅤ—ㅤSpeaking of though, I MIGHT need to tend to some guests soon ! I - I hope you don't mind that, Mister Sunday !ㅤ❜

He knew his sister had only told him, as she was unaware of the alter motives he had in finding the Watchmaker's Legacy, but now with the cat out of the bag like this, he had to wonder if the search had truly been worth it. Why had this child installed such fear in the other members? Surely, if this was all, then they had nothing to fear. They could go ahead with the festival and bring about the blessed future they'd been working this hard for. Yet, there was still that slight touch of doubt that refused to entirely fade. His sister's influence, perhaps.

"If I'm honest, I do not believe she quite understands your significance. It was quite a surprise to find out the truth...but also I am quite delighted to finally get to meet you in person like this. Truly, a blessing from Xipe".

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 he would be questioned about his ageㅤ—ㅤand it certainly wouldn't have been the last either. He probably WAS a little too young to be working in customer service. At least he CLEARLY didn't mind it as he continues to attempt to help the guest with a smile.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤMaybe I am, but it's OKAY ! I get to talk to NICE GUESTS like you when I'm not busy and hear all about their travels ! I can save up to explore the stars like the guests too !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWith his attempt to reassure the guest, he motions for the other to FOLLOW him.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤThe front desk is THIS way ! Hopefully your friend is still there !ㅤ❜

Last time he was told to meet somewhere, he was ghosted, same with the instance before that. Next time this happens, he's ought to stop trying. It's not like they wouldn't meet again at the headquarters. Probably.

Looking down at the kid, he realized his error-- he did not mean to get so visibly upset. He offers him a little smile, "yeah, that'd be nice of ya."

Then, gives the kid a good once-over. "Wait, aren't you a little too young to be... working? At all?"

It was 0% his business, it was more or less a curiosity on his part. Are there no regulations about this? Who is making this child work? Then again, he did not know a single thing about the laws on this planet.

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒖𝒕𝒚 being second nature to him, he was still an easily nervous and flustered child. He had never met Mister Sunday personally until this pointㅤ—ㅤbut his name was already being spoken of so HIGHLY in Penacony. It was no secret after all how quickly the man had risen through the ranks. He could definitely FEEL the imposing aura coming off the man.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ( Or maybe that feeling was something worse that he couldn't QUITE tell yet. )

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤIt didn't SEEM as if he was in trouble for anything though. Quickly, he tries to adjust himself and maintain the usual professional personality that he ALWAYS did when dealing with anyone in the Reverie or the Sweet Dream.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤEverything seems to be going well on my end, Mister Sunday ! The guests are satisfied and I've been doing EVERYTHING I can to assist with their needs !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤButㅤ—ㅤdo you think we could use any IMPROVEMENTS ? Like more amenities ? More comfortable Dreampools ? Or what about my performance in particular ?ㅤ❜

while the transition from bronze melodia to family head was seamless, sunday lamented the fact that now he had even less free time than before. such was inevitable when moving up in ranks, but any opportunity to slip away was a welcome one indeed. so when he eventually strolled into hotel's lobby and spotted the bellboy, the halovian approached the boy with nothing more than the fleeting desire for some small talk.

❝ hello there, misha. ❞ flaxen hues studied the bellboy for a moment, finding slight amusement in his slight panic. were people already beginning to grow afraid of him, or was misha just nervous ? he shook the question from his mind, giving the boy a small smile in hopes to ease his worries. ❝ the reverie is treating me well, thank you for asking. there's nothing in particular i can think of, as i decided to go for a walk last minute, but... how are you doing ? is there any trouble i should be aware of ? ❞

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑶𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔, it was so easy to see how the boy's lilac hues would practically LIGHT UP. A Nameless ! This man was one of the Nameless ! Sure, he had met lots and lots of travelers who seen far more planets than he ever hadㅤ—ㅤbut the Nameless were SPECIAL.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤC - certainly ! It'd be an HONOR to lead the Nameless through my home ! You've probably already seen the Square since you know about our local man in the trashcan. Most of the businesses are in Bygonevilleㅤ—ㅤwhich is a really unfortunate name but I PROMISE it's nicer than it soundsㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe run down square that surrounded the two of them would have probably put most people on edge. The bellboy seemed to be COMPLETELY comfortable as he began to lead the older man into the tiny little shopping district.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤYou're probably familiar with the Sweet Dreamㅤ—ㅤbut Dreamflux Reef was established LONG before it ! It's regarded as the center of ALL Dreamscapes ! People here even call the REAL Penaconyㅤ—ㅤbut I guess they're just a little bit bitter about the Sweet Dream.ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤOnly when the two of them arrived at their destination does the child briefly stop. Most of the shops tucked away in those narrow streets were mere husks of themselves; emptied of everything but dust and trash as well as the occasional Dreamchaser who clearly drank too much Sousa Juice. Though, the shops and bars that were STILL open and the small crowds of people proved there were still fighting to keep it alive. There was even a group of Pepeshi trying to create some street art and bring some color to the place.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤHere we are ! You're free to LOOK AROUND and ask me any questions ! The shop with the musical staff I mentioned is here too ! ㅤ❜

“They don’t?” That... actually made a bit of sense. Even as he looked over a few of the dilapidated billboards and the skyscrapers, Welt could get that feeling. It was—disorderly. No real sense of control for what they wanted versus what those that lived here put forward. 

Why give it any attention when they could just as easily shove it behind a curtain and pretend it's not there? It felt so very... Emerald City for some reason. Keeping the image of perfection put forward while no one was allowed to be aware of just what was going on behind the scenes. 

“How very ‘Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain’ of them.”  Just a bit of an idle observation note for himself—though he eventually gave the boy a short nod of confirmation. No sense in wasting this kind of an opportunity to try and piece together the secrets. “Well then, as one of the Nameless I’d be quite honored to have the residential point of view tour from a rather resourceful young man such as yourself.” 

Maybe the almost borderline old-man brand of flattering was a bit much, but if Dreamflux really was disliked? Welt could imagine that it chipped away at citizen pride just a little. Now why could that be... 

“Since you are the resident of this area, I’ll let you decide where to take me first.” A beat. “If--there’s also some historical facts that you happen to know about Dreamflux Reef, I’d also be interested in hearing them.” 

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒙𝒚 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔ㅤ—ㅤhe had only heard vague stories of their existence and never met a single member of that ELUSIVE group face to face. Though, part of him can't help but feel he should know MORE (ㅤ—ㅤand there was a brief unsettling and unexplainable feeling of GRIEF in the back of his mind. ).

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤOh, you're RIGHT about that ! The Family invited a bunch of factions across various galaxies for the Charmony Festival; Galaxy Rangers included ! I'm actually surprised they accepted since nobody's heard from them in a long time. Aren't they known for protecting the WEAK and INNOCENT ? I'd think people like that would be pretty STRONG !ㅤ❜

"Action challenges...well I suppose that would do for now..."

A pause.

"I heard that Penacony is inviting some galaxy rangers soon, do you...do you think their strong? I would like to test my blade against them if possible."

Feima has a one track mind, at the very least he would be consistant in his desires.

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒛𝒆 for being absolutely no help, he finds himself with a rather LARGE handful of credits. Tips weren't something he was new toㅤ—ㅤbut he only got those when he did an exceptionally GOOD job ! There was a clear shock on his face as he quickly tries to get himself together to answer the woman's question.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤW - Well ! He's a SECURITY OFFICER for the Bloodhoundsㅤ—ㅤso he might be patrolling the Dreamscape right now ! He's also really good at making drinks and he works at the Dreamjolt Holstery too ! We can go LOOK if you'd like !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤBefore any of that, he has to make certain of one VERY important thing. He was still holding those CREDITS in his hands after all.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤA - are you SURE about this, by the way ? This is a REALLY generous tipㅤ—ㅤand I didn't really do anything !ㅤ❜

"I see..."

Disguised as a guest of the Reverie Hotel, Enola had approached the bellboy dutifully working around the lobby. In her experience, the staff are usually the people who know the most about the comings and goings.

Her reseach has lead her to Penacony after a series of clues had seemed to connect her target to the Planet of Festivities. It makes sense, this place is full of wealthy people, both locals and vacationers, a prime target for a thief.

"Thank you very much for your help, I apologize for disturbing you while you were working." The Galaxy Ranger in disguise hands the young bellboy a handful of credits, but before she can leave to do some investigating of her own, the boy mentions someone who might have some information.

"Gallagher, you say?" Enola hums, tapping her chin, feeling a little more galvanized "Mind telling me where I can find this friend of yours, young man?"

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑶𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔. It looked like this guest had managed to CALM DOWN unlike the last one. He seemed like a really nice fellow tooㅤ—ㅤwhich made it even MORE important that he didn't get into any trouble at the Reverie; especially because of him !

ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤStill, the attempts at reassurance weren't quite done yet. At his words of concern, the tiny little bellboy gives him a nonchalant shrug before he SMILES.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤS - sometimes ! But it's really fine, I promise ! Besides, it's my fault that I couldn't provide them with SATISFACTORY service ! ㅤ❜

ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWellㅤ—ㅤmaybe saying like THAT would be worse. Quickly, the child backtracks and tries AGAIN.

ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤThere are NICE guests here too like yourself ! And I get to talk to them all about their travels ! So it's not as if I just get bullied by guests all day ! ㅤ❜

Why was it that almost every person he's met is against some good ol' fashioned violence? When someone can't understand you from words, they need to be taught through handing them a can of whoop-ass!

Getting in trouble was the least of his worries. Though, he probably shouldn't start fights in a hotel, especially in front of a kid.

"Fine, alright. But, if you ever change your mind, just let me know, alright kiddo?" He gave a toothy grin and tipped his hat. He SHOULD give the young'uns a good example, but mistreating staff, insulting them, just wouldn't fly. Not on his watch.

"Ya deal with these kinds of people a lot? Gah, all my brain chips would be fried after day one..."
