Max just getting out of the shower before work, screams as he sees a message written in the fogged up mirror
"3rd floor hallway lightbulb needs replacement."

@LupusIntus

Someone must have drained the flask of blood for the dry-erase board again.

As an employee... and front desk clerk... you can assume that you have access to particular items that allow you to better serve the residents.

@Dragonydas

Will it be a teletype machine? Ouija board? A scrabble board with all the tiles facing up in their trays? A dry-erase board and a flask of blood? (runs dry very quickly)

Various volumes of Foreign Language dictionaries? (There's now a $5 reward posted for the return of the Cthulhu/English dictionary, last seen in the ventilation ducts of the first building laundry room - approach with caution.) (Yes, there's a reason some of these books are chained to the shelves - and it's not because we're afraid they'll get stolen.)

Picture menus?

Special Ghost & Vampire Mirrors? (mind you, Qaymu has a hard time with his human illusion not being seen in mirrors.)

A soundboard with various buttons? Or just a rack of bells with different signs on them?

A rack of pamphlets with various topics like "How to get past being petrified", "Snake or Vampire Bite? How to tell the difference", "After effects of Neuralization", "What to do in the event your limb was ripped off", "Human-Monster Relations", "How to obtain your Unseen Library Book Pass", "Evasion techniques when being chased by a mob", "Undead and loving it", and of course the "Pamphlet for the Recently Deceased." Despite that last one having never being removed, its somehow become sticky with protoplasm.

Last but not least, the 43 volume set of Umbra Rose Condo Istruzioni - the first two books are red, being the emergency procedures (ranging from "Unintentionally turned to stone" to "someone called the ghostbusters/a ghost hunter tv show" to "the FBI are at the front door with a warrant in hand"). Don't miss the two blue volumes at the end - the thick one is the index, the thin one is the index to the index. Oh, and strictly no smoking while reading as the cord that sticks out of each volume is not intended to be a page marker, it's a fuse.

Oh! The Book of the Dead and the Book of High Spirits. Mustn't forget those two.

She's said the first IC post will be on Sunday.

Poor Max is so hopelessly unprepared for the havoc these residents will wreak on his mental health.

@Lemons

Maybe someone should turn off the gravity in his room? Just so he doesn't hang himself.

*Max NEVER making eye contact*
We've uh... gotten... um... *gulp* complaints... of... 'howling'? during the... late hours... of the night and uh... so... we ask you to respect... the other residents during your... free time.

((I know in the universe it's sound proofed :P))

@LupusIntus

Max having to bring up a food delivery and knocks at her door. Not hearing anything, let's himself in, only to find her chained up and asking for him to bring over the chicken...

Umbra Rose Condos

The bare self-quote, what a terrifying move

@CitrusArms

I'm on my phone, at the hospital - just visiting.

The boom-boom room is typically the one next to the elevator or that noisy ice machine, ventilation system, etcetera. But as each room is essentially in its own dimension or bubble-universe and is tailored to its occupant, as I understand it, there really shouldn't be any bad rooms - unless we're waiting for the manager to come back to fix your room. Basically you're an emergency case who may have only been hurriedly vetted, found at a monster residence elsewhere and brought here by mistake. So your room is one belonging to a former occupant. Perhaps someone who liked a bit of noise and other uncomfortable surroundings.

And there's a danger room for one-on-one fighting and those needing containment.

Quick question. What would be considered the worst rooms in the whole complex? I'm talking cheapest in the house, dingy, no windows, underground, next to noisy or unpleasant utilities, etc. It would make sense for the Shoggoth and his 'pet' to be there.

Someone else made this mistake too, buuuuuut... Miyuki is not a priestess. Yumeiko is one though.

@Xaltwind

So, what is Miyuki's profession?

Umbra Rose Condos

Ryū doesn't sound like she has a lot of room in her apartment to stretch out.
