There must be someone, somewhere. What sort of hotel does not have any staff?

[outsidebones]

Well, one managed principally by ghosts, it would seem.

One would think that ghosts, who potentially have an eternity ahead of them to learn various skills should they manage to avoid being exorcised, would be a little better at this. Honestly, I am a little disappointed in them.

[outsidebones]

Oh, not at all. Typically, if they manage to stay out of the river at all, they are mad and ravenous.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh... is that how it is for ghosts in your world?

[outsidebones]

Yes. Not in every circumstance, but typically. I have known perhaps one or two who have managed to retain their sanity despite attempting to resist the pull of the river.

[fishingforcompliments]

I see... I knew there would likely be differences from world to world, but I had not realized they would be so stark.

[outsidebones]

Are ghosts different where you are?

[fishingforcompliments]

A bit, yes. There are certainly resentful spirits which are dangerous, and seem to have taken leave of their senses, but... there are stronger ghosts who have retained their sense of self, even in a different form, as well.
