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.

[ 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.
