Perceptions of the Dead 2
katastrophic for Hotelier
Estimated Lines: 127
Description: The Hotelier is the friendly fellow who mans the front desk of the enormous and utterly abandoned hotel our heroes stay at during the story. Despite admonishing themselves for forgetting to do so, no one ever learns his name, making him mysterious for all the wrong reasons.
The Hotelier's real story is that he finished school and came home, getting trapped in the black hole that is a dying town. He works online as a Linux System Admin and also manages the Hotel for his Aunt. His real passion is History, and he spends a lot of his free time documenting all the mysteries and stories that once made this town such a bustling place of spirits and mediums.
He's peppy, passionate about what he likes, and generally in good spirits despite his situation.
Desired voice: Any, just be able to speak with passion or disinterest believably. Accent: Northern American accent preferred, like a Minnesotan accent for example.Line 1: "I am sorry to say, the wiring in this old place has a problem or two." (Apologetically and jokingly at the same time, as it's sort of a 'what did you expect?' situation, but he's not being a total jerk about it.)
Line 2: "Factories had catastrophic failings, businesses had misfortune beyond reason, and within a few short decades, it looked like the town had reached a critical point where its spiritualistic past was about to end any chance it had at a future." (Passionately talking about the history of the town, excited to have someone to tell it to, despite the grim content (which is he playing up with his tone.)
Line 3: "For… 'business', heh, Why do you have to say it like that? ...Are you drug dealers?" (Playfully mocking something another character said and then suddenly disbelieving and perhaps almost annoyed as the idea dawns on him.)
