Hey Husk, I just got out of my room and I just noticed the hotel is a bit empty. Where did the guests go?
Husk: Gone the way of the sheeple and abandoned ship while they could. There's still a few stragglers, but I don't expect em to last long-
Ember: (pops up behind him) Well, I've been here the whole time, and I think I deserve a widdle itsy bitsy credit for that, Husky-senpai~
Oh, there's somebody under your wing-
Husk: WHAT THE- WOULD YOU LEAVE ME ALONE YOU THREE-EYED NAUSEATINGLY PASTEL MENACE?! I'm runnin' a bar here, not a kissin' booth! You keep your creepy weaboo nonsense FAR away from me!
And don't bug her, neither. She's been havin' a rough couple days, and the last thing she needs is you tryna 'cheer her up' by reading her things that would make even Asmodeus's feathers crawl!
Ember: I like it when you get so protective~ Oh, rugged, troubled found-father trope, my one and only~
Vaggie: EMBERLYNN, WHAT ARE THE ABC's WE TALKED ABOUT?
Ember: Awareness of action, Boundaries are important, Consent is required? :< But what intrigue is there in a romance without a little taboo-
Vidette: (unseen, sounding VERY tired) Real people are not the same thing as fictional characters, Em, and either way, you're still glorifying abuse.
Husk: (pets Vidette, who's sitting under the bar, still hiding under his wing) I don't know how you put up with her, kid, but at least she's learning something...
