[GP] Check-in Day

The wheel of the year turned and turned and Curnen found herself at an anniversary of sorts that she flatly didn't want to be remembering but got stuck on a loop of anyway.

This time there was no taking the hell off into the wilderness, though. Nor were there endless, circular recitations of "The Queen of Argyll." Rather than be poisoned by the memory of someone she still hated like everloving fuck, she focused on remembering the friend she'd lost. And besides this being Kash's song, she figured it was never a bad time around here for "John Barleycorn." Perched on the roof with her guitar, she sang of John Barleycorn's dying and rising again, subtle magic weaving into her voice to lead anyone lost in their little bubble world this way.

There was three men come out of the west their fortunes for to try,
And these three men made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn must die,
They ploughed, they sowed, they harrowed him in, threw clods upon his head,
And these three men made a solemn oath John Barleycorn was dead.


It was Kash's song, in her mind, but you talked to half the people around here and it wasn't a bad fit for them, either. From her vantage point, she watched the road.

Navigating the halls wasn't a challenge in and of itself, though Connor wouldn't have called the Inn's layout intuitive. It was given to its kitsch and its novelty and there was a sense of anticipation on what to expect of his own room, The Fabulous Fifties. Likely, it wasn't constructed for someone who didn't need sleep in mind.

Before he could get far, there was a man walking the opposite way towards him that caught his attention immediately. The way he was built, the way he moved--it had such an air of peerlessness that Connor would have been tempted to label him as an android if not for the fact every reading indicated the man was fully biological.
