some grumpy grump hates kids

[No formal introductions here since Fenris is preoccupied with the noise coming from down the hall.]

I returned to my quarters to find the others rooming with me to be missing and shrieks echoing down the hallway.

Perhaps it should be of no concern, but it seems some of the younger ones among us are murdering each other collectively in some strange ritual. I am uncertain of if it would be wise to intrude, though advice would be appreciated as to whether or not I should bolt the door and bar them from returning as punishment for their unruly behavior.

[Not that he hasn't already done just that.]

[unabatedly]

Now you're just being grouchy.

[But she can hear the shrieking too and she sighs quietly.]

You could always leave the hotel and go get some fresh air. That would let you get away for a bit.

[trulyfree]

I had. And then I returned, and they were still at it. [And now they're just ruining the nice buzz he has. Damn kids.]

My roommate mentioned before that pulling the red lever in the hallway would be an optimal way of garnering attention. [Without actually explaining what it does, for the record.] Perhaps that would be an apt form of retaliation.

[unabatedly]

Ah. I just recently returned-- I didn't realize they'd been at it most of the day.

[There's a pause of consideration, as Neria doesn't remember seeing a red lever, but she wasn't particularly looking for one.]

Would it? What does it do?

[trulyfree]

I'm not sure, to be honest. He said it in a way to be funny, but I didn't quite catch the joke.

[unabatedly]

Kids.

[Ah, well.]

So. Are you going to pull it?

[trulyfree]

A fair question. [He hasn't decided yet, to be honest.]

While I am rather curious of its intended purpose, he did explain it in a way where he seemed to wish for me to pull it. There is the possibility he is intending to trap me into doing so.

[unabatedly]

And how is it going to trap you? Do you think it's going to spit acid at you if you pull it?
