Nan arrives at ROOM 114.
Should she just... knock?
Nan knocks on the door and a faint noise comes from inside. After a minute, a young man answers the door.
He greets Nan cheerfully and says he was hoping he would see more of her.

>Ask him if anything seems to be wrong in the hotel. You're a repairwoman so that wouldn't be a strange question.
Nan explains she is a repairwoman. Did he feel anything just now, like an earthquake? Or maybe he saw the lights go out?
The man's expression changes rather suddenly. After a short pause, he confirms that his power just went out for a brief moment, but he didn't feel any tremors.
>>68363
>Ask him if this is the first time such things have happened during his stay here.
Nan presses for information, but the man shrugs and says he only just got unpacked himself, so he doesn't know anything about what it's normally like around here.
>>68365
>Notice his weirded out expression and ask if anything else is wrong.
The man shrugs and admits he's just a little disappointed she's a repairwoman. He was hoping she just wanted to see him.
>>68371
>Invite him to come help us investigate things? We can talk on the way to finding whatever the hell we're doing!
Nan tells the man she WAS kind of hoping he could tag along to see something with her. Maybe afterward they could grab a bite to eat?
The man smiles in response. He says he'll be right along, then blushes lightly and asks Nan for a minute so he can get dressed.
>>68384
>Say that's it certainly is NICE to meet him, just that this place seemed... empty, and it was freaking you out.
Nan introduces herself politely and the man, still blushing, does the same. He says his name is Henry.
>>68389
>Realize he was naked this whole time. Blush furiously.
>>68386
>Sneak a peek Nan - c'mon, do it!
Nan blushes furiously and decides to be naughty. She takes a quick peek as he's closing the door and catches the briefest glimpse of Henry's bare ass.
Nice.
Nan again brings out her flashlight. She knocks on the door, but what should she say to Henry? She certainly doesn't want him to get hurt, but...
Knock knock knock knock
Nan asks if Henry is okay, if he needs any help.

She pauses for a moment.

There's no response from Henry.

Soft noises, like footsteps, are slowly growing louder from somewhere down the hall.
>>68423
>turn around quickly and apologize. Best be honest about this. The lights went out, and something freaked you out.
Nan blushes furiously and apologizes for barging in like that. The lights went out and she got spooked. She turns around and covers her face so she won't look.
Henry laughs a bit, blushing lightly himself, and suggests it must have been just the hallway, because his light's fine.
Henry tells Nan he's going to slip into the bathroom for a second to finish changing.
He jokes that is of course unless Nan would prefer he not dress, in which case she can just say so and stop barging in on him.
>>68438
>He's already got his underwear on, right? Yeah, just tell him to get dressed out here. No big deal. We'll just sit here and watch.
Nan feels a little embarrassed, but says she'd feel safer if he changed here.
He shrugs and agrees, but tells her this "the lights went out" excuse is going to get old pretty fast.
Henry pulls on his shirt and notices Nan ogling him.
He asks rhetorically if she's enjoying herself. Nan shrugs and laughs nervously as a response.
Henry wonders aloud if she's going to repay the favor sometime.
Henry frowns at Nan's response and assures her he was just kidding. There's no need to be like that.
Hahhh
Nan has knocked out the power. The crackling electricity stops, and the room goes dark.
Hahhhhh
No lights streams in from the hallway, either.
Hahhhhhh
It is pitch black.
Hhhahhhhhhhh
Henry is breathing very heavily. Nan feels like she might hyperventilate, herself.
Oh, hey there Eldritch Horror.
It is very dark here.
Nan can feel something starting to envelop her.
A thin sliver of light appears in the blackness.
