The concierge room. I could not quite make it.

[he at least got to the same floor...]

...you haven't seen Claude today, have you?

[outsidebones]

I have, as a matter of fact. Why do you ask?

[ktiseos]

He was there as well, last night-- but not when we awoke. I have not seen him since.

[outsidebones]

...Ah. I believe I understand what occurred with him.

[but i'm still getting deets, so. vague for the moment]

It sounds like a very strange occurance. And perhaps, most likely, a distraction.

[ktiseos]

Quite possible. I was more concerned with whether he was alive, to begin with, or whether we simply had not been informed of a death.

[outsidebones]

He's alive. [she sighs.] He was moved in the night, it seems.

For now, at least, I believe that he has nothing to do with Cloud's death. As a strategy, it would be bold to say the least.

[ktiseos]

So it would. I would not be inclined to assume so, either.

[he exhales a sigh, there, shaking his head.]

Something strange happened in the lobby as well.

[outsidebones]

...Did it? Do tell.

[ktiseos]

When Lup and I were there at the same time as that Barnes fellow, we were forced into-- some sort of strange game. Music playing while a pair of chairs floated around us, and whoever could not sit in one when it stopped simply fell over.

...it seems wholly ridiculous, but.

[given the timing... you know.]

[outsidebones]

[just giving him the flattest look.]

What does that even mean?

[she has never heard of musical chairs, either.]

[ktiseos]

How in the world should I know?!

[THESE THINGS JUST HAPPEN.]

[outsidebones]

[she shrugs her shoulders.]

What nonsense. Well...I suppose at least we know we ought to check the lobby.

[ktiseos]

So we do. Depending on what we learn, I suppose we may keep the incident in mind as well, but I've no idea currently of what it may mean.

[outsidebones]

Chairs may have been involved somehow, or perhaps not. One never knows.

[she's exhausted.]

[ktiseos]

I would quite like it if these places would stop making jokes at the expense of murder.

[he is also so tired of this.]

[outsidebones]

It is not especially funny or charming...

[ktiseos]

Nor are the majority of us, I suppose, so mayhap this is the cause.

[outsidebones]

Well. Nonetheless, it is helpful.
