"So what exactly is this place for?" Tasha asks Sir Reginald.

Reginald manages to keep civil, "It is a hotel for monsters."

Natasha started, trying not to panic, "Monsters." She repeated. There had been so many monsters she'd killed or captured and now she was in a hotel full of them. Panic much?

"Yes," Reginald doesn't seem fazed at all at the idea. Then again, he was a vampire.

"Alright," Tasha's hands stay close to her weapons as a comfort thing now.

They enter the dining room and Reginald sits them down. Food appears on the table in front of them and they start to eat.

"So what do you want us to do, exactly?" Joshua asks, getting down to the point of the matter.

"I want you to maintain the hotel, keep the monsters in check, and protect the creatures inside."

Everyone who was eating, paused a moment to listen in.

"And in return I shall grant you all immortality."

Tasha says in a stage whisper, "Hey, Tal, can you stand me for all eternity?"

Tal grinned back, "Remains to be seen."

Ignoring the jibe at immortality, Reginald continues with a pointed glare at Tasha, "Your pay grade will be considerably higher than minimum wage. Shall we say... Several million upon finishing your work here as hotel 'managers'," he makes quotation marks with his fingers.

Tasha rolls her eyes, "So Monsieur A-la-Dracula, how long does this job take us? Not that we'll be pressed for time if we're immortal, but you know... Job security and all that garbage."

She was fast becoming Reginald's least favorite person.

Joshua suddenly stands up, reaching for his gun, "Someone's here." He says.

Tal's ears catch the sound of footsteps and he stands up too, "I hear them too."

Reginald sighs, "Go kill the intruders, come back, those who live will get to hear the rest of the deal."

Tasha stands up, "Finally, something to kill!" She cackles, rather unladylike. But then again, that was Tasha.
