Sunday must have been exhausting for you, maybe even upsetting. A new town, new faces and a an ominous order from a man without a face... who wouldn't be a little frightened? Hopefully, all of that is forgotten when you climb out from under your blankets this fine Monday. Rise and shine! A new morning is a new start!
If you make your way to the lounge, you will find a few copies of the local newspaper provided for your perusal. Once you go outdoors, you'll find the weather forecast 100% accurate. It's pretty impressive.
It seems that quiet mornings like this are going to be your everyday life now. Maybe you should see this whole stay as a vacation? Go out and explore the town, meet your fellow motel guests and meet the townspeople. They're sure to welcome you with a smile!
This week's special in the diner is lemon pie made with love (and a top-secret recipe)

no subject
he remembers his profile because it had some details that... well. stood out to him.]
Everything I've learned so far. Why?
no subject
ah well. not the first person to dislike him, won't be the last. get in line, mako.
that said, he still talks to him evenly, as if not bothered by the obvious tension. ]
Mm, no reason. I guess it just stood out to me; that you were writing. [ a pause ] What have you learned?
no subject
That we're all here from seemingly different worlds. That this isn't new to at least two people I've met so far.
And a few theories.
[he stands.]
I'll figure out more as I go, though.
no subject
That's a lot more than I've thought up, at least. I guess all I've thought is that this place is a little too...calm. It's weird, kind of.
no subject
[a pause.]
... Why does your profile say you like orphans?
[bluntly, suspiciously. the orphan would like to know.]
no subject
no, not really. but he does sigh, shoulders slumped in resignation. it's obvious that he's been asked this before. ]
I don't know. It might have something to do with five orphans I rescued during a city-wide conflict. Other than that, I have no idea.
no subject
he figures he'd be better off trying to judge how much he was lying by watching him.]
Okay.
no subject
[ there's a sigh from oda, a mix of relief and...a hint of sadness. ]
I know my profile is sketchy, but...there's nothing I can do about it, I guess. I'm sorry.
no subject
[there's a lot of personal parallels that he's not going into there, but he is willing to drop it for now.]
no subject
[ oda nods, not really minding mako's hesitation. at least he's not being accused of stealing babies, you know? ]
You're...a detective, aren't you? That's what your profile said.
no subject
[also stealing babies was unrealistic. possible, but he wasn't going to jump straight there. grooming was a bigger problem for triads.]
I spend my time taking down triad networks, since I've got some experience with them.
no subject
[ well, for someone whose profile clearly states that he's a mafioso, oda sure looks...honestly impressed by mako's job. ]
I can't help but feel a little envious.
