[GP/EP] Check in Day - Feb 1

[st_raighttovampire]

Caroline waved to Kitty as she dropped into her table in the cafe. It was a banner day. A full month of living in a hotel without her mom or her friends, hungry literally all the time.

But at least there was coffee.

Caroline went through her notes - many people had already started to take on roles in the hotel. Snow and Lindsey ran the stables. Kitty ran the bar. The brothers tackled the ghosts that popped up now and then - Caroline held her tongue on how wrong it was to discriminate against the undead. The list went on.

Caroline knew very well - having a job kept the despair of being trapped away.

She hadn't expected today to be different than any other day, but then, she should learn to stop expecting things. Apparently, it was check-in day again.

Johnny wasn't sure what Fae meant but he knew he wasn't one so he shook his head. "Sorry, not a Fae. I'm a Killjoy." He also knew the odds were pretty good this guy had no idea what one of those was either.

"The reason you're not home is the same I'm not home. Someone is bringing us all to this hotel." He rubbed a hand over the back of his neck. "Trust me, this goes down smoother with a drink. Want to come inside the hotel and I'll grab us a couple of beers?"

"Aw, no, I'm sure you're a lot of fun, in your own way." Butters chuckled halfheartedly and shifted from foot to foot. "Um, no offense, but I really feel like sobriety is my best option in case something tries to kill me. But explanations I'm a big fan of."

Johnny couldn't stop the chuckle, it wasn't the first time his job title brought that kind of comment. But it usually was from someone that he and Dutch were trying to capture.

"As far as I can tell no one is trying to kill us." And he had very good instincts about that. "but I get wanting to keep a clear head. Come on let's go inside. I don't have a lot of answers for you but I'll tell you what I know, besides it will take a hell of a lot more than the scrawny old man behind the counter to keep me from getting back to my family."
