Hotel Hell

Morning In Hell

Lily woke up to cold poor quality sheets, yet again. Maybe she should be used to the feeling of waking up in the dark hotel room staring up at the cheap tiled ceiling, listening to the hum of the outdated air conditioning unit. However, do you ever truly get used to your conditions or do you just tolerate them? Contemplating this wouldn't bring Lily any income though, so she sits up and slips out of bed headed towards the painfully small cabinet this place called a closet. The automatic lights came on illuminating the room as she walked. Something of which to both love and hate as they tend to pick up her restless form in bed as someone waking, turning on at odd hours of the night. A simple black dress was plucked from a hanger as well the undergarments she would need for the day. Lily walked into the bathroom her feet quietly complaining at the change from relatively soft carpet to hard tile. Some days Lily would wake up hating this place and others like today she would stand under the warm clean spray of her hotel room and feel at home. Sure this place was a little cheap, the water pressure was low, the closet was small and the food was cold by the time she got downstairs. Still, this was her home. The dingy hotel room she purchased for the next hundred years cost every penny in her pocket but it kept her safe. You can't be anywhere safer than staying in a hotel unlisted. When Lily was at least physically ready to face the day she stepped out of her room and then ran right through Travis. Startled Lily went to step to the side only to run into the wall. Travis chuckled to himself before turning and staring down at Lily. "Not fully awake yet?" Travis asked a smirk resting itself on his face. Lily glared up at the AI who just loved to torture her in his spare time. She begrudgingly responded with a sarcastic, "I am now." Doing her best to ignore this little incident she continued towards the stairs walking down five flights to the lobby. Travis, of course, followed her not breaking a sweat, as if he could. "Would you like me to read your schedule today Miss Lillian?" Travis asked. However, before Lily could respond he continued. "You have an appointment today with Sir Hansen at 9 am placed on his estate. As well as two more appointments one with Miss. Nelson and Mr. Berkowitz. Miss. Nelson's interview is at one, while Mr. Berkowitz is at five tonight." Finally, making it down all the stairs Lily pauses to catch her breath unable to even make a sarcastic comment before headed to the dining room. As Lily sits down mechanical arm drop from the ceiling and set her breakfast in front of her. Lily sights and mumbles to herself, "Nothing like cold meat squares to start the day right." To which Travis replies speaking in a mocked hurt tone, "I made these just for you, you should be grateful I provide such detailed service for my special guest." Lily scoffs and tries not to accidentally spit out her 'delicious' breakfast. After quickly finishing her breakfast she stands and heads to the hotel entrance. "If by special guest you mean the only guest then yes I truly am special." Lily chides glancing at Travis before pausing seeing as he isn't where he was standing a moment ago. Startling her for the second time today Travis appears right in front of Lily. "Well paying for so much time in my, oh what did you call it. 'Dingy' hotel, certainly seems special." Lily frowns her nose twisting to show her distaste before she grabs her bag and heads out the door saying a last, "See you tonight Travis." as she leaves. Travis is left staring at the entrance to his hotel smiling softly to himself as he goes to pick up after his beloved guest.
