Message 04. Vital Information for Your Everyday Life

[unrecovered]

[Wash is in full armor, helmet on. There's a reason for this; nobody needs to see that he hasn't really slept for about 72 hours. Those who have a bit more experience reading his body language can probably tell from the set of his shoulders and the incline of his helmet that he is Not Very Happy. Of course, then he opens his mouth and removes all doubt.]

This is just to let everyone know that there are no Nightmares in the Traverse Town hotel. Because they don't come inside. Ever. Anyone who says otherwise is paranoid. Or an idiot. Or both.

Probably both.

Pretend that Wash is :|-ing right back

[unrecovered]

Not to some people.

[Including him, evidently, but he is not bringing that up.]

[seasaltkeys]

So you checked over the entire hotel?

[You are being judged Wash.]

[unrecovered]

No. It wasn't necessary.

[Is there a reason all the kids here are brats? Seriously.]

[seasaltkeys]

[Because you angered a karma god, Wash, and this is your punishment.]

So, there's a chance that someone else's room has nightmares, but at least yours is clear.

[Still less than impressed. And he totally doesn't believe what he's saying because he knows they can't come inside.]

[unrecovered]

No. Because they don't get past the front door.

You know, there's this thing called listening. You should try it. It might prevent you from saying any other stupid things.

[seasaltkeys]

Because you sit there and make sure they don't?

You're the one saying stupid things, and worrying about stuff like this.

[Who needs maturity anyway?]

[unrecovered]

No, they just don't. It's a behavior pattern.

[After a moment, he just shakes his head.] Look, kid, I don't care if you want to be a smartass. Just do it on your own time.

[seasaltkeys]

Whatever.
