shes so sweet what the heck

[princesstarshine]

[ she is indeed around!! she walks into the room to see her sup lena ]

Hello, yes, I am here.

She must spread CHRISTMAS JOY :D

[letstrythatagain]

Want a treat?

[Look who found the tarts in the kitchen!]

I found them in one of the fridges.

[princesstarshine]

Oh, sure, I'd love one.

[letstrythatagain]

[Sharing cookies is a go!]

I've got a question for you, if you don't mind?

[princesstarshine]

Alright! It's always a good idea to give someone food if you want good answers. Nice call.

[letstrythatagain]

[She gives a little salute at that. She knows how to do the social thing.]

I was just thinking that this place is pretty dangerous, you know? Even if some of them have been accidents, people are dying! Having even one death at a gathering like this, that's weird. But we've had several so far.

What I'm getting at is, why do you stay here? It's clearly dangerous, you and your two friends would be better off moving, wouldn't you?

[princesstarshine]

I live here. So...I just keep running this place, I guess.

[letstrythatagain]

But do you have to? It might be safer for you to leave, when we're all no longer snowed in.

[princesstarshine]

Hmm, I dunno. That's what I do now, you know? It wouldn't be me, if I wasn't here.

[letstrythatagain]

[Lena seems thoroughly confused by that.]

How does that work? People aren't tied to places like that. [She pauses.] Unless you're an AI of this building or something. You're not an AI, right?

[princesstarshine]

No, I'm a full people person.

[ she holds out her arm like, here touch it and see. ]

[letstrythatagain]

[TOUCH TOUCH yep that's a real person.]

Well if you're not an AI, then why wouldn't you be 'you' if you're not here?

[princesstarshine]

That's kind of a weird existential question. But I'm, like, uh how to put this.

[ hmmm she holds her hands up like she's trying to deliver some sick wisdom. she talks a lot with her hands especially when meaningful. its all about those gestures ]

I'm a hotelier now, right? Like, that's just who I am. If I wasn't a hotelier, who would I be?

[letstrythatagain]

Well, there's hotels everywhere else. You could be a hotelier somewhere else. Preferably somewhere without a Krampus running around.

[princesstarshine]

[ she laughs ]

What, did you see him outside or something?

[letstrythatagain]

Not yet, but we'll get him eventually!

[Look, if she's going to joke around, then Lena will too.]

But seriously, I worry about you guys. I don't want you to get hurt.

[princesstarshine]

That's really sweet of you.

[ what in the heck ]

[letstrythatagain]

I'm sure everyone here worries about you three too.

[I mean, she likes the compliment, but she doesn't think she's alone in worrying about the hosts.]

[princesstarshine]

I don't think that's the case but it's nice of you to say that. I worry about you guys, too.
