—Context— all new named characters mentioned are actual NPC's from Hotel Debord in the Court of Fontaine. Some quotes are close to or are actual quotes from the interactive texts in game. I wanted to include real NPC's in this novel to give you guys a closer lens on the small things that HoyoLab put into the game.

Y/N rises to the sound of an alarm on the bedside table next to the bed she barely remembered getting into. The mulberry silk sheets set in a pale yellow colour felt so divine to sleep in, that Y/N turned off the alarm and turned over to rest once more, fluttering her eyes shut

A knocking sound echoed through the wooden panelled door facing the foot of the bed. Y/N grunted at the thought of having to get up from her oh-so-relaxing slumber. She dragged her bare feet along the polished floorboards towards the door handle and opened it with less grace than needed.

"What's going on?" Y/N groaned, practically snoring while half standing

A frail young blonde woman stood in front of her wearing something resembling hostess attire. She had a large "customer service" smile stretched along her face that was endearing to look at.

"Hello Miss Y/N, my name is Argalia. I apologise for the inconvenience but we set an alarm for you so you wouldn't sleep too much throughout the day so you could adjust your sleep cycle. Sedene requested it personally."

"Mmhh," she grumbled, "of course that sassy Melusine wants to torture me."

The hostess chuckled to herself at the absurd comment.

"I'm sure she means well! Moving on, your boss paid for a meal course at 3:10 in your name and it's being prepared at this moment. There is a seat downstairs with your name on it."

"Alright, I'll be there."

Y/N walks into the hotels food stage in a white classy dressing robe and white silk slippers to be greeted by a hostess that had a similar look to the last, almost like they were related.

"Hello Miss, my name is Leone and I'll be your waitress for the afternoon. I'll apologise for the lack of single tables as your stay was a last-minute request, so I hope sitting at a table with someone else is okay?"

"I don't mind. I'll be happy anywhere if I'm fed."

"Alright! I'll show you to your table, the food and drink set will be arriving in 3 minutes."

The pair made their way to a table with a stiff woman dressed in pink who sat on the side, sipping a dessert tea. Leone pulled out a chair for Y/N, bowed softly and swiftly left the stage.

This woman had a rough frown on her face like a spoilt child with no dessert. She was draped in beautiful fabrics consisting of the words high class, and she showed it with her furrowed eyebrows.

Y/N had a creeping uncomfortability with how crossed the lady was next to her she felt it was appropriate to arise a conversation.

"In a bad mood, perhaps?

"Hmph. Thanks for asking." She said while rolling her eyes away from messy-haired, undressed-up Y/N. She let out a smile grunt before continuing.

"I was just here for a quick meal - not to have a waiter look down his nose at me for picking the wrong wine to go with my food!"
