Jinx taps in a keycode on a panel by the door, and steps inside.

Her girlfriend traipses cheerfully after her!

A strawberry-blonde woman in an off-shoulder top looks up from a book-thick slab of crystal. 

"Afternoon, do you have a reservat - oh!" 

She smiles. "Jinx! Nice to see you. And who's your charming companion?" 

Jinx smiles back. "Long time no see, right? Audrey, this is Ruava, my lovely new girlfriend and sometime partner in crime: Ruava, this is Audrey, my long-time best friend and sometime madam."

Audrey offers her hand to shake. 

"If Jinx vouches for you, you're my friend too. You can call me Tabs if you like."

Ruava shakes her hand. "Hi, nice to meet you!"

"So, why are you here? Were you planning to rent one of our more interesting rooms, or...?" 

"Vic called the cops down on my apartment: we need somewhere to crash until things blow over, and Ruava deserves better than one of my boltholes."

"Ugh. You'd think he'd have more sense than that. Vic can consider himself blackballed from here and anywhere else I can get the word out to: you two are welcome to stay here for as long as you like."

"Thanks, Tabs! I knew I could count on you."

Audrey absently waves a hand at Jinx, tapping away at her slab of crystal. 

"Don't mention it. I'd have done the same for any of my employees, much less someone I knew from back in Zaun."

She shifts back a stray piece of her loose ponytail. "Hm, let me see, what do I have open... White Suite sound good to you?"

"Sure, that works."

Audrey slides two twisted pieces of crystal across the counter. 

"Here's your keys, enjoy your stay!"

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome!"

Jinx gives Audrey a parting grin and a thumbs-up, and skirts the lobby fountain on her way to the elevator. 

To the elevator!

"I like her, she's nice."

Jinx taps her crystal to a spiderweb of copper by the elevator door. "She is! Sharp, too. Got the nickname Tabs because she's great at keeping track of stuff in her head."

"Are you two complimenting me over there?"

"Nah, we're complaining about the shitty customer service!"

Audrey giggles, and returns to her slab of crystal.

Giggle.

The elevator arrives, and Jinx steps aboard.

This particular elevator doesn't seem to have any buttons inside it.

...all right then. How will Jinx command the mystery elevator? Let's find out!
