dreamshipIt was an interesting story, I had to share.
So after the hentai, coffee-water mac-and-cheese, and the happy drunk ravers with crackers and cheese in the elevator... me, Miyou, and my two friends (I'll call 'em chibi!Lavi and Patti), were going to go downstairs, since crap was going on upstairs. Elevator 1 opens, it buzzes at us (fire alarm, automatic voice talking about something like a fire or a BOMB) we all kinda panic... send it upstairs. It comes back. We send it downstairs. Elevator 2... SAME THING. Elevator 3, buzzes up, we send it up, it comes down silently, we think "coast is clear yay!"...
THE LOUD SPEAKERS WENT OFF. Fire alarm, man telling us NOT TO PANIC. It was silent, but flashing on every floor. And inciting more panic. Chibi!Lavi? INSTANT PANIC, shaking like a poor frightened puppy. We go to get the girls in the room, one was already sick from dehydration and locks herself in the bathroom while we let half of them just run down the stairs, from the 21st floor.
We ended up getting the sick girl to come out, and I went with her, two behind me, everyone else just ruuuuunning. Then we get to con floor, 2nd floor, and a hentaifest guy tells us it's some issue going on in the part of the hotel we're NOT at, but it's still something and they were attempting evacuation buuuut congoers apparently sleep like logs. And then we had to go down broken escalators, staff wouldn't let me carry the barefoot sick kid, so we take her to medical, and then let Patti take her back to the room. And then everyone else sat outside for another hour, we tried to find what burned, saw nothing... and then an ambulance drove up. It made sparkly floors even shinier and we started thinking patriotically, then we just left. And watched it sparkle.
Turns out, something by the little starbucks place at the con burned, or a sprinkler setting off some electrical things and causing one o' dem fires.
And then when the rest of our crew went to bed, Miyou and I couldn't sleep, so we went to crash in another friend's room, but we ran into two more friends (Misakins and hot-Lelouch-man) along the way, and we ended up going to floor 37.
Floor 37 at the Sheraton is haunted, okay? So apparently, Misakins and hot-Lelouche-man went up there and aligned the chairs, and couldn't get back on that floor after the alarms. And when they did, the chairs had all moved. We decided to check it out. It was daytime, light poured into the main area... AND THEN EVERYWHERE ELSE WAS DIM IF NOT DARK. And "Fearful Experience" from Persona 3 started playing on my Zen so I played it out loud for the mood. And then we reach the bathrooms, and there's this odd, creepy-sounding music playing from the ladies' restroom.
We go closer. Dave Matthew's Band. Wut. We went in; it was all bright and happy and smelled like soap. No corpses.
It was creepy otherwise. And by around 7:30, Miyou and I were just bored so we came home to sleep.
