HONESTY NIGHT—

We will be hosting our second Honesty Night tomorrow! This little dash event will be a 12-hour block of time in which you can send and answer questions. If you can’t make it, don’t worry! We’ll be hosting another one soon.

Honesty Night will run from 5 PM EST — 5 AM EST. We kindly ask that all questions be sent and answered between these hours. If you are in another timezone, please see here to determine what time that is for you. 

We will post a list of participating muses along with question suggestions tomorrow before Honesty Night begins. 

A few guidelines:

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE, PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS POST WITH THE NAMES OF YOUR CHARACTER(S). Because some players have secondary characters on sideblogs, we ask you comment on this post with the name(s) of those you wish to use. If you have more than one character, note that you are not obligated to participate with all of them.

PARTICIPATION IS NOT REQUIRED. If you don’t feel comfortable or can’t make it onto the dash, that’s okay! 

MAKE SURE YOUR ASK BOX IS ENABLED. Turning anon off is your choice, but understand that having it off may affect the number of questions you receive.

SEND ALL PARTICIPANTS QUESTIONS. This is required! If you are participating, you must do your part to send questions to everyone on the list below. We trust that everyone will be generous with asks. If you are not receiving asks, let us know!

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION YOU GET. Do your best.

WHEN ANSWERING QUESTIONS, keep in mind your muse’s willingness to share certain information. You are encouraged to answer as they would and may provide an OOC answer in the post. [ EXAMPLE ]

INFORMATION REVEALED DURING THIS PERIOD CANNOT BE USED IN-GAME. This is the trust tree. Everybody climbs, nobody falls. To avoid meta-gaming we ask that you treat this as a character building activity and not bring secrets/answers into gameplay.

ASK MEMES ARE ALLOWED. You may reblog a maximum of two.

A MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT—

Dear Staff,

As you may well know, I have decided to use my vacation time to recharge before our hectic holiday season. While I’m gone, I expect everyone to be on their best behavior and delivering service to the usual degree of excellence. 

I will be out of the country from December 5-19, and while I will have my cellular phone on me in the event of an emergency, I may be without service (or I may simply have turned it off, but that’s okay, because I have a plan). 

Should any issues arise, Nadia Benson (@nadiaruns), our Front Desk Manager, will be handling operations, and Ethan Dorsey (@ethan-dorsey), Head Janitor, will field any concerns regarding our facilities. Lila Sinclair (@lilacsinclair), manager of The Shooting Star Grille, will oversee all diner operations, as usual. Should Nadia or Ethan be unreachable, Emery Weston (@emeryweston) is our most senior employee, and I trust that she will step in to help.

In case of emergency, please notify the abovementioned staff members. They will have access to a list of emergency service numbers at the front desk, including contact information for Police, Fire and Ambulance, as well as emergency plumbing contractors. The list also includes the phone number for Nevada Public Health Services and Animal Control.

See you in two weeks!

Your friend,

Jimmy Cohen Starlite Motel, Manager

it wasn’t until last night when she decided to show up, extending the invite to ezra. the moment they pulled up, the teenager had disappeared into the crowd of people. though it was a dry event, nadia wasn’t exactly planning on sticking to that rule. she approaches the dessert table, insulated thermos of cold horilka ( ukranian moonshine ) in one hand and a pink box of  yabluchnyk ( ukranian apple cake ) from her family’s restaurant in the other. was a thermos as discreet as a flask? no. did nadia care? another no. “ time to get this over with, ” she says to no one in particular as she unscrews the top of her thermos and takes a drink from it.she wasn’t exactly the mingling type.

Ezra checked the time and immediately undid his apron as he smiled. “Alright it’s time for me to go do. I gotta go see about a girl. I’ll see you tomorrow, alright?” He said his goodbyes and grabbed his bag from the back before heading out towards the dining area of the grille, smiling as he heard Lila’s voice. He had just walked over to her and opened his mouth to tease hear about her excitement when he heard saw her freeze and followed her line of sight towards the door. “Oh shit,” was his first reaction, his eyes falling to his wrist as she pulled him back. He wasn’t sure how he moved his feet because he felt frozen behind her, his heart race increasing as he kept looking from her to the people with the guns in the air. Was this really happening right now? Who hated the motel or Jimmy this much to cause so much shit to happen that week? 

He swallowed thickly, trying to stay calm like Lila was telling him too but all he could think about as his mom and something bad happening to him. “W-we should just give them the money, Lila,” he said as quietly as he moved his hand to grab hers. “I can just go get the money,” he offered, glancing back at them, “It’s better than someone getting shot. Just tell me what you need me to do.”
