Roadside Hotel

# **About**

The Roadside Hotel is a theoretically infinity long hotel located in Kakti, Novelia. It is quite mysterious in the fact that everyone inside the building appears to act very strange and often careless for things like death. The hotel is dirty and old and there is litter in the halls. There is also an old closed off pool in the upper floor.

Most of the people inside of the hotel are seeminly aware of the fact they will all die at one point inside of the hotel and are physcally unable to leave the hotel even in tense situations. The owner of the hotel is entirely unknown and no one inside of the hotel has seen him. Most people refer to the owner as simply being called "Him".

Death is common place in the hotel either by accident or on purpose. People have seemingly also died due to "supernatural" reasons or other unexplained causes. Events resembling rituals of some kind have also taken place in the hotel.

The AOD's currently knows of 28 floors. The Hotel also houses various anomalies or anomalous entities in itself, however the Hotel managed to contain them within its own reality, and since the people who wander in never leave, the AOD sees no reason to extract them. The Hotel is in itself its own City basically, with the Novelian Dollar still being its currency. Certain things that wander in from the outside take on diffrent meanings and warp over time, as the Daily Express somehow turned into a concept of a congrogation of the richest Hotel Members. It seems as though the longer a person stays the more abilities they may get, or more of the Hotel is accessible to them. The Hotel also seems to have its own public transportation system, as there are utterences of super-elevators, and trains. The highest floor ever mentioned is Floor 973. The Lowest Floor seems to always stay the same, however the upper floor keeps changing, however always has the same layout some recurring characters. The method to accessing the upper floors is still unknown, however the AOD is activley trying.

The AOD has also set up a exlusion zone with 24/7 patrol in a 2 kilometer radius around the Hotel, there are cameras in almost every spot on the border of the zone. Multiple undercover Agents posing as Police are on standby incase innocents accidentally drive into the zone. The Black Hawk secure the Hotel itself constantly, and are constantly on alert incase anything wanders out or a other incident occurs. There is also about 100 Black Hawk Soldiers stationed in a nearby Facility the AOD has constructed to ease operations. There is also a nearby Military Base about 80 kilometers away, which incase of a (Code A) would be sent to the Hotel to deal with the threat. Incase everything fails a nuclear device stationed in the Facility will be deployed. In order to minimize Radiation the set-up time for this Nuclear Device is 20 minutes, as it has to be detonated precisley 200m above the Hotel in order consume all of it and minimize fallout.

# **History**

Lime first visists the hotel after being somewhere else and needing a place to stay for the night. He is greeted by the front desk manager who shows him around and seems totally careless about how the hotel looks. He shows him an empty room to which he then gives Lime a list of furniture that he can order and get inside his room.

Lime later meets multiple people in the hotel such as a private paramedic for the hotel, a police detective, a cook, a man selling random objects in his room and a past red line member. He attempts to call the police after he witnesses the medic drag away a supposedly dead body. The medic explains that he "had an accident" and brings him into the pool. Lime goes downstairs and meets the detective who acts like he knows nothing about the place and he reveals himself to be named Garrett.

Later the police that Lime called arrives but is told to go away by Garrett. Lime then learns Garrett is actually trying to find an expensive glass melon dupped "3 Glas Melon". Lime meets a past red line member after he tells him that he is here to get the melon so he can sell it. He claims that his "friend" was supposed to hide it under a table, something that Lime saw before. But he couldnt find it. Lime claims that his friend is dead. The man claims that Garrett won't let anyone leave until he knows where the melon is and says that he can bribe Garrett to get him and Lime out.

Lime agrees and attempts to find the melon. He finds a man in a room meditating and finds another man in another room. The man says his name is Rodger and that he sells gadgets and objects. He tells Lime that he has the key to the starcase which is where the melon possibly is. He tasks Lime with making the cook bake him a cake which will give him the key in return. Lime goes to the cook and finds out he has to find a recipe using the secret "cook's language". He finds the recipe and the cook makes the cake, lime gets it, gives it to Rodger, gets the key, finds the melon and is then stuck between giving the melon to the detective or the man.

He decides that no one can have it and sneaks past the man, tricks Garrett into another room and escapes with the melon for himself.

## **AOD Investigation 1**

A few weeks later, an AOD investigator is sent out to investigate the hotel and ends up also going on a wild quest to learn only a tiny bit more about the hotel. He manags to escape but accidentally gets a man (who was trapped in the building), killed by attempting to leave with him.

During a therapy session in the women's bathroom, Rob (a resident) kills all of the people attending it except for a girl. Rob then starts becoming self aware and claiming he cant leave the hotel. This causes him to ask Garrett to take his life.

## **AOD Investigation 2**

With the AOD now caught up, they sent a new investigator agent into the hotel. The agent looks around in the hotel and finds a construction site, a Criber fighting arena, a cafe and Jimmy turned into a giant doll. He starts his mission when he sees Chu locked inside some kind of electromagnetic forcefield protected cube where he sits in the middle in a state of trance. Rodger appears to have gotten parts from an Observer and a trashcan with infinite amount of trash stored in it.

The agent wins in the Criber arena and finds out that Cribers gets teleported into the bathroom to which they are thrown into the arena. The agent uses his money to buy the Observer part and later helps Garrett find a camera. In return, Garrett helps get a remote from a frustrated man inside a storage room, by brutally killing him. The agent sees Garrett (now a humanoid creature made entirely of flesh) walk out of the room. Inside the room is the dead man and the hollow skin of the Garrett .

## **AOD Investigation 3**

A new agent (who had been monitoring the previous ones), arrives at the hotel. He sees that the door with the cribers inside had been closed off and is being guarded by a man in a strange suit. He says he will only let him in if he closes the portal inside of the room and sets him on a misson. He agent gets a few items that he then gives to "The Chef" and gets a special "spaghetti" out of it. He performs a ritual with the guard and the portal closes.

He also learns that there is another higher-up person named "The greaser" who is employed by Him. The agent leaves with the research unharmed.

## **AOD Investigation 4**

A newcomer to the hotel was tracked by the AOD as he entered. During the mans first time there, he encountered Garrett protecting a meeting in a room labeled "Daily Express" which is revealed to be the name of a wealthy and rich group of investors and has no connection to the actual newspaper called Daily Express. He also finds Cristos, a bird owner and breeder who has a large bird that can be riden. The newcomer, wanting to ride the bird, goes on a quest to find someone he can give to Cristos so Cristos can use them for cheap labour. The newcomer collects some dolls for a Yakuza to get their suit, feeds an apparition of James Hamburger to get a shotgun, shoots a terrorist group known as a "Namas" with the gun, steals another Daily Express member's papers and finally gets into the meeting where he gets the spokesman to give him 400 dollars which he uses to buy a Richmond Inc employee which he then gives to Cristos and gets a ride on the big bird.
