*Makes his way into central Delving, having an irritated conversation with his editor on his mobile.*

I still can't believe we're covering the Conway story, it's not even a story. It's just a caterpillar of an anecdote which might change into a butterfly of salacious gossip, that's assuming the story's true. ... Even if he WAS snorting coke in that lavatory, I don't particularly care, it's just gossip. Really, who gives a damn if a DJ likes to spend time with the White Lady in the ladies? ... Well, if you don't mind getting sued if it turns out to be libellous. I just think it's the sort of thing the Delving Enquirer would carry. ... No, I think I'll concentrate on the diplomatic relations between the Sindar and the Noldor if it's all the same to you. Buh-bye now.

*Hangs up and heads into the Star, thinking it looks like an okay sort of place to pitch up during the political wrangles he wants to cover.*

*Ambles up to the desk.* Hi. Do you have wi-fi here?

*is currently supervising the front-of-house*

*while trying to subdue a headache brought on by her third night's bad sleep this week* >.<

*and wrestling with the dilemma of housing a practitioner of polygamy who also happens to pay the bills rather nicely*

*looks up* Indeed. All our rooms are wireless equipped.

Excellent. I need a room, double preferrably, indefinite stay.

*turns to the monitor with a little less than her usual poise and taps a few keystrokes*

*while reading* Currently we have one with a king-size and pull-out sofa, or one with two queen-size.

*turns back, noting your overcoat* :\

*takes a moment while she wonders where she recognizes you from* *ah, you're that columnist*
From: [info] Date: 09/04/2007 17:29:31  

*Looking down at his itinerary.* The king-size will do nicely.

*Glances up at the same time you look round.*

*Catches your eye and smiles.*

*smiles back promptly but quickly*

*has a little inward sigh when she wonders how much you're the type to charm your way into extras*

*taps out the client data and books you in, informing you with some blandness about the rates* Very good.

*begins to slot your keycard into an envelope-to-fit, but fumbles with it slightly* *frowns, perturbed*

Will you be requiring any special amenities during your stay? *says this without realizing she's neglected to acknowledge she recognized you* We offer a small business centre on the main level. Sylvia may give you the details upon request.

Thank you, I might look into that. I'd like a paper delivery every morning as soon as possible. Anything you can get for me except the Enquirer.
From: [info]starbrow Date: 09/07/2007 11:28:32  

*evenly, by rote* We carry the Sun (*smoothly* of course), the Free Press, and the Times. I may have them sent to your door first thing, or with the room service order.

*helpfully places a breakfast order form in front of you as she puts the key in your hand*
From: [info] Date: 09/08/2007 16:28:13  

I'll take them all, first thing...if it's not too much hassle of course.

*Thinks he'll go for the links sausages and hicory bacon option, seeing as it's the closest thing on the menu to a greasy fry-up option.*
From: [info]starbrow Date: 09/08/2007 16:40:43  

Not at all. *would ring Ethan to help you with bags, except you don't appear to have any?* :?

*thinks you seem to have some manners about you* You expect to be in Delving for some time, then?
From: [info] Date: 09/08/2007 17:11:17  

A couple weeks at least, I'd expect...*jocularly* assuming the place doesn't blow-up. ;)

Is it usually this quiet in here?
From: [info]starbrow Date: 09/08/2007 17:24:47  

*gives a clipped little chuckle* Quite. :\

*dearly needs to answer you in a way that won't harm her reputation* You'll find many establishments in town are experiencing a seasonal decrease in patronage as summer closes. Recent Noldor mafiosa political activity notwithstanding.
From: [info] Date: 09/08/2007 17:36:59  

You're not worried are you?

Ah. Of course, stands to reason.
From: [info]starbrow Date: 09/08/2007 17:44:30  

Oh, now. I'm sure someone in your line must be more familiar with Lord Thingol's more... unusual policies? than I. Having a property on the outskirts adds more security.

*waves a hand* I'm sure by the holidays things will be bustling again. You'll have opportunity to make the acquaintance of several guests.

*steps out from behind the desk and extends an arm, indicating you to follow her to the main level* *proceeds to show you the restaurant area (Asian Númenorean fusion and Sindarin cuisine)* *not like she has any thing else pressing*
From: [info] Date: 09/08/2007 18:11:38  

Yes, but Thingol isn't the only player in this game.

*Follows you, paying close attention to what you're saying but not to the surroundings.*
From: [info]starbrow Date: 09/08/2007 18:27:26  

*raises an eyebrow, curious at your tone* Indeed?

*continues in the tour vein, grateful to fall back on professionality when she's not feeling at her best* Our chef has recently taken top prize at the Ossirand Culinary Festival. Best in Beleriand.
