The elevator sounded as it reach the first floor and opened up. Within it was the Lotus Hotel's Manager, Abaddon. He was clean, dressed, and ready for his first day on the job to serve as manager of this fine elite establishment. Before taking his seat though he made sure that everything was up and in its condition. Going over and feeding the trees some water, organization the papers on the desk, sweeping and scrubbing the floor, and then unlocking the front entrance for its grand opening under his management. Then and only then did he sat in his chair behind the front desk and waited to for the work to come in.

Learning that her family opened a hotel Azula was excited, the hotel opened so many opportunities. While she had her own room in Xu manor with the rest of the family, Azula decided to make the hotel her own little house, not only it was closer to university, but also gave her more opportunity to ‘hunt’. Azula took necessary items she considered important, and of course how could a blue haired fox couldn’t take one of her most favorite toys?

A giantess of a woman who served Azula. Entering the hotel through the main door like she owned the place, Xu Azula pushed her frame towards the front desk. She was surprised when she saw a blue haired male. There was something odd about him! Instead of walking to the counter and introducing herself like every other person, Azula went behind desk.

Placing her both arms on the slightly taller male’s chest she leaned as close as she could. Azula sniffed his neck like a wild animal inspecting every inch of males upper body, her hands slowly traced up to his shoulders. Making eye contact with male behind the desk the blue haired fox finally spoke “Your scent. I can smell my sister’s scent on your body” she paused leaning even closer to his face millimeters away from their lips touching “...And my mother. You met my mother too?” Azula asked, taking a step back letting male go. Pointing at herself she spoke again “I am Xu Azula, I will live here from now on.” she introduced herself then extended arm towards male “And you are..?” she asked with a sly smile.

The loud thuds of her steps made everyone stop what they were doing and look over. However all they would see is a large ankle and huge feet. Having to look up, they would see a gigantic woman. Kiara the giant was employed by her mistress. A very beneficial agreement for her and her half brother. Though she left him elsewhere.Thud thud thud, her very steps rocked the ground beneath everyone.

But Kiara was very careful to not step on anyone. She was buff, incredibly so to put most body builders to shame if she ever flexed. She wore a black tank top that held her large breasts and her stomach was exposed as well as a good portion of her back. Scarred up but they were old battle wounds she had received in her past. She wore a black lion cloth that also hid her more private areas from view. She reached the hotel entrance and stopped. Carrying the luggage like it was not even there. The building shook as she stepped back a moment. Tapping an amulet around her neck. The onlookers would bare witness to her change.

The once massive giant was shrinking down to a more normal size. Instead of her insane height, she was now a moderate 13' tall and ducked down as she walked inside. Her long silver colored hair swayed behind her. She was a gorgeous looking giant, perfect curves like an hourglass and a well toned butt. Muscled out even at this height. Azure colored hues found her master and she walked up carrying the luggage.

"Do you have a room yet mistress? Anything you need me to do?" She was afterall Xu Azulas servant.

Sat patiently waiting for the first person to step into the door to give his services to. The wait didn't last too long as the bell over top of the doorway rung announcing the arrival of a blue haired girl. "Welcome traveler!" Abaddon said as he got up to bow his head to them before going on as the girl approach. "Welcome to- Huh?" Or at least he attempted to as the approach of the female didn't stop at the other side of the front desk. No she actually circled around heading straight towards him. "Excuse me miss, What are-" He was cut off again as he was having hands being placed on him, having his neck sniff, and soon close to having her lips embrace with his.

This quickly close interaction was weird and the revaluations she found made things even weird as Abaddon instantly had a deer in headlights look upon him as soon as it was said. “Your scent. I can smell my sister’s scent on your body” "“...And my mother. You met my mother too?” There were only two women that he had been with enough to have scent to be on him since his appearance to the surface world. And for them to be referred to as mother and and sister of this person was obvious to her ties to them. So when she introduced herself as indeed apart of the Xu's family as Xu Azula, Abaddon was a bit more willing to forgive and forget what just happened. Though he kinda felt cheated as so such interment acts were just apart of the introduction stage of things.

"Greetings Miss Xu Azula. I'm Abaddon, acting manager of this fine establishment of your family." He started with his introduction with a smile. "I guess you can call me a bit of a family friend as I have gotten to know a few people in your family quite well." Yes, he had to not exactly expose himself as he didn't exactly know of the full personality. Just then he felt the ground shake and loud sounds echo from outside. 'What's that?' He thought as he prepared to place himself in front of the sound and Azula in case danger came. And it seem to be coming as the sounds got closer and loud until they stop right in front for the entrance. He was prepared for action but that was not what came as the massive figured shrank down to at around half her height and revealed herself to be a still large giant as she entered. "Ah, welcome miss." Abaddon said as breathing a sigh of relief to find out she had connections with Azula.

Azula gave a warm smile to male who went by Abaddon. “Nice to meet you Aba-kun.” Azula said cheerfully. She then licked her lips “If Okaasan considers you a family friend you must be very special Aba-kun.” Azula added scanning males facial features. It didn’t take long for the ground to shake while Abaddon panicked. Azula stood there like nothing happened taking mental notes about Abaddon. When the giantess walked up to them Azula smiled “There you are Kia-chan~!” Azula’s voice changed drastically. It was more high-pitched and child-like rather than deeper and more tender when she spoke to Abaddon.


She looked at the giantess when the woman addressed her “Not yet.” she then looked at Abaddon “This is Kia-chan, she’s my personal butler and bodyguard.” Azula said then skipped playfully towards the giantess. Standing next to 13' feet women Azula being only 5' 2 `` feet looked ridiculous. “Aba-kun, have you got any big-rooms on the first floor? Kia-chan is too big for elevators.” Azula explained.

She would watch her mistress mention a room on the first floor and she would shake her head a little. Putting down the luggage and reaching across the small counter and pulled him closer. "I want my mistress to have your best room. No second rate room, she needs one fit for a queen you catch my drift?" She flashed him the sweetest of smiles and looked at her mistress.

"Don't worry about me getting on the elevator, I am a giant I can reach any room you go to. But I will follow anything you say, did not mean to burst out like that." She would look at him and bow apologetic and at her mistress to. She was still getting used to managing now that she was no longer wandering aimlessly across the lands. Thinking back she smiled to herself at how she ended up im this situation as a whole.

Looking around for the first time, she was amazed at the archetexture of this place and also how it looked from the outside. She had to give kudos to the ones who thought up this and made it.

Aba-kun? Umm. No matter. He listened in as he was being told about the fact that the giantess was apart of Azula's personal staff and how it was likely that that would need a room on the first floor because of it. That is before he was pulled in closer by said giantess telling him not to worry about said problem and to just offer their master the best room available. He needed to set both mind at ease, and the best way to do that was by giving them both of what they wanted. "Miss Azula and Kiara, I know that you both worry about the rooms being granted to you." While saying this Abaddon headed back behind the front desk before turning back to the two with a sheepish grin. "The thing is that this hotel desired to solving of both these issues and more but ensuring that every room, expect a handful a temp rooms, were made to be the best to one's individual desires. With this, they would be no need for a limited upper level rooms that would only cause tension between guest for not getting them."

Deep breath. "What I'm trying to say here is that if there's an existing theme you would desire then there's likely a room for it on every floor in some way, even the first floor. So tell me. What theme would you both enjoy?"

Azula watched Kiara reach for Abaddon and pick him up like male weights. Listening to Kiara, the fox really didn’t know what to say. Giving a rather nervous giggle she gently patted Kiara’s leg. “I am sure Aba-kun has a wonderful room for us.” Azula said then wrapped her arms around the giantess' leg “I am more worried about the elevator not being able to lift you.” Azula said letting go of the giantess.

Her attention shifted to Abaddon who spoke while walking back behind the desk. “I am sure this hotel has the best rooms, after all my family built it. But I want a specific room so I could share it with Kia-chan.” Azula said looking back at her butler. “I want something bright and beautiful like an ocean.” Azula shifted back to look at Abaddon “Can you do that Aba-kun?” Azula asked with a sly grin on her face.

The giantess was looking around and surprisingly paying attention to what was being said. She did not respond really as the question was asked. Preferring to let her mistress talk about the room since she was serving her. But she would chime in with something simple, as she was always outspoken.

"I am fine with whatever my mistress desires."

To the point and willing to go along with whatever it is she desired. In truth she was lucky to even be here in the first place. She had a feeling this place was entirely exclusive and almost impossible to get into. Connections in high places indeed.

Looks like two different desires, sort of, Abaddon just flashed the two with a cheeky grin as he knew the right room just for the both of them. There just happened to be a nice large room on the first floor that was meant to be something of a ocean side theme for more of large marine life guest. Luckily for them most of the room was still designed to be for the above water levels room though. This room would be prefect for the two in mind as it would have have the sizable applications for someone like Miss Kiara while fitting the ocean design desire of Miss Azula.

"We might have just the room for you both. Follow me please." With that response Abaddon got back up, pulled out a drawer behind the desk that hid rows of keys with black writing on on and next to them. Grabbing a room key with the writing of 'Room key for #70' on it, Abaddon reshutting the drawer and would walk away behind the desk while doing a follow gesture to them before being off down the halls of rooms. "We try out best here to be accommodating to all guests of race and sizes." He would say as he guides them door the corridor of doors to get to their room.

(Exit to Room #70)

Azula was happy that everything went just how she planned and Kia-chan didn’t punch Aba-kun’s head off. How wonderful, yea? The blue haired fox's attention shifted towards the blue haired male. She was happy hearing that they had room for them. Of course mother was involved in building this hotel so this place was made to accommodate anyone and fulfil any desire. Listening to Abaddon, the blue fox followed male to a room he thought would fit Azula’s taste. Azula smiled all the time while going to the room “I hope you don’t mind sharing bad with me Kia-chan~?” Azula teased the giantess. When they approached the door, Azula took keys from Abaddon “Thank you Aba-kun.” she said quickly unlocking the door. Stepping inside Azula gasped. Room#70

She would look over at her mistress as her entire focused shifted to them both. Giving a soft smile, she would pick up the bags with ease. "I don't mind at all mistress. I'll keep you warm if you need my services." Stating that with such understanding as she would follow behind them both. Heading to their room.

Yanharos walked on the sidewalk minding his business whistling to himself. Though he did spot a couple of wealthy individuals walk into a nice looking building. He stopped as he looked up at the building and read the sign seeing that it was a hotel.

Seeing the clientele, he could tell it was a hotel for the rich. Whistling innocently, he walked through the front doors and was awed by the luxury the front area had and thought to himself that he could live here…just needed to a sucker to mooch off of.

He dark slime stood with his hand on his chin in thought as his glowing eyes looked around. Unaware that the hotel manager maybe be coming around to investigate why he was here…

Having been swiftly reassured and slammed the door on, likely unintentionally, Abaddon just let the Xu do whatever it is that she had planned with the stranger. Still though it would seem that that stranger was in the process of asking him of his origins. To that Abaddon didn't give a reply in time before his retrieval as he was honestly waiting to see if it the other would guess right or now. No matter, there was no changing things now. So Abaddon cheerfully made his way back to his desk. That is until he see an even stranger sight before him in the front lobby.

There gazing around was another slime-like person entering into the people. That's not something Abaddon sees everyday. Despite being one himself and working here, it was quite an oddity to see a slime roaming around by itself as most seem to like to stay underground or just away from civilization due to fear of being hunted by adventurers, at least from Abaddon's experience with his own kind. Nevertheless Abaddon didn't let his puzzlement and curiosity be know. Instead he kept his cheery demeanor as he speaks up to grab the newcomer's attention of his arrival and way back to his seat behind the desk.

"Oh, sorry if you were kept waiting. Welcome to the Purple Tipped Locus Hotel. As manager of this fine establishment I, Abaddon, will be take care of your business here." He bows his head to the other before taking his seat. "Now, may I get your name and business here this day?" Cutting right to the chase, Abaddon pulled out a draw from his desk on his right side and flipped through some paper hidden within. What was on the papers wasn't exactly clear for possible prying eyes but if one was to truly focus towards them then they could possibly see the bottom half of them and it being filled with names.

Yanharos would put his arm on the desk and lean forward as the manager came to greet him. Yanharos eyed the manager with suspicion as he felt some sort of familiarity with him even though never seeing him in his entire life. “I’m Yanharos and I am here to see…” he needed to figure out who he was seeing. Using his magic he quickly casted an ability that allowed him to peer beyond into the hotel using someone else’s eyes, a useful trick he learned from the blind Ethan.

Within the what he guessed as was a large dining room of sorts, he wasn’t sure he saw a nobleman eating peas. “Pe..” he began to say the name. He saw a woman having a heart felt talk with another woman seeing a tear in her eyes “tear” he said the next part. He would then see a family crest of a large creature he was familiar with “Griffin” he said the last name. “Yup, I’m here to see Sir Peter Griffin!” He says with excitement as he was immediately hit with this feeling of cringe in his being how foolish of a name that was. But he could only hope that was enough to have the floor manager wave him on through.

He was here for someone named Peter Griffin? The situation was suspicious as fuck as despite being a hotel manager and likely introduced the all the staff here, such an unusual name was not once mentioned. Abaddon didn't let this be portrayed on his face though. his smile stayed as he tilted his head in confusion at the name given. "Strange. I do not remember someone who bared that name working here. Would you mind telling me his position or at least his shift so I may go and check in on the staff I have on hand?" Bam. And like that, without probably even realizing Abaddon shot down that option as even if the fellow slime could proper guess a correct position here Abaddon was going to have himself go and check if such a person work here and if so question them about their unusual 'friend' coming to the job sight.

Yanharos sorta realized this wasn’t going to work. When he said the name he was hoping it was guest but he was looking at the employee listing. The slime gave a defeated sigh and one more way to get inside. He would quickly transformed into his slime ball form and landed on top of the desk, making sure no papers were in the way.

Looking at the hotel manager with his large green glowing eyes in a puppy like fashion and his voice in a cute adorable tone, trying to be so cute and adorable, he spoke “I’m sorry for lying, Abbadon sir, I was just curious about the hotel and wanted to look around” he says to him as he looks at him with his beety glowing eyes “Plwease, Abby, sir, can I look around?” He adds trying to be even more adorable.

Some of the onlookers were already falling for the oddly colored slime…

There was a complete silence that happened between the other slime's attempt of the cute approach and apologizing. There Abaddon stared at the other with unblinking eyes focused on him as if he was expecting there to be more that this newcomer had to offer. In reality though Abaddon's mind was processing what his approach to this should be. After though the other was a fellow slime and apologizing for his made up story he still didn't produce any telltale signs he was even able to to be a paying customer.

After a few moments of hard thinking, Abaddon pushed his seat back as he get up to stand before Yanharos. Locks of his hair came down covering his face to give no signs of what was possibly his facial expression as arms stretched out in his direction. Coward, beg, attempt to slowly inch back. All would prove futile as he grasp still reached out towards him. If successful Abaddon would put his hands under the ball of slime and lift him off his desk before beginning to walk with him. Then and only then would he utter words. "You wanted a tour of the place, right?" He would say in a calm but chilling vocal still with his hair blocking his face until. "Then I'll be more than happy to give you one!" He sudden spun up with cheer and his leaned back his head to get the hair out of his face to show a big cheeky smile.

It would seem that the act work as Abaddon was beaming to do as asked. Yanharos probably would be jumping in joy in thrill that his plan was working. The first place Abaddon went was the outside where he brought the fellow slime out to the front of the place before turning around and having it be in full view. "This is the front entrance of the Purple Tipped Lotus Hotel." He would place him down on his own while he continues. "Today is its first day under my management, can you believe that? Like look at the front sign. Grand, right?" Abaddon would verbally direct Yanharos to gander at the greatness of the sign, but if Yanharos was paying attention to him personally he would notice that after Abaddon put him down up to when he was asked to gander at the sign Abaddon was fast walking back to the entrance. When he would made it there he would call out to say. "That's the end of the tour. I hope you enjoyed your stay." Before entering with speed and closing the door right behind him.

Yanharos for a moment thought this wasn’t going to work but as the other changed exclaimed he would show him around, Yanharos was pleased! Though as the other held him, the manager felt familiar…he couldn’t put his slime finger on it. But his thoughts went out as they went outside and he told him what the name of the hotel was and then…

Being placed down as the other made a dash towards the front desk, the slime saw he had been tricked. The slime ball literally deflated as if all the air escaped from his form. “A simple no would have been fine” he muttered as this sad, deflated, slime ball shuffled away. Of course, he would be back, but right now, he wasn’t in the mood.

As Yanharos depressively accepted his defeat in mind games and shuffled away, Abaddon wasn't exactly jumping with joy. He wasn't exactly a person that get off on the upsetting of people. In fact he quite liked being someone that put a smile on their face. This here though...It couldn't go any other way. True it was possible that the last response of his could have been him actually telling the truth and he was a fellow slime but to have someone who tried to work around the rules with lies in deeper inside the establishment without proper stuff on him was a recipe for disaster. If anything would had happened it would have been something that ultimately fell on Abaddon's head for allowing it under his watch, a risk Abaddon wasn't willing to take on his first day.

So with a depressing low sigh and a quick shaking of his head he picked his demeanor back up and went back to his seat behind the desk to await any new clients or a call for his assistance from the current one.
