Hi again, it seems that I am on a roll again! Love when the inspiration hits just right! Now, thanks again for Forsake_Seer_XIV checking my story for grammar and giving me his opinion on the rules and on what to make them better! Now, enjoy!
Rule 6: No harming others just because they are male.
Mr. Walker was sighing as he had Artemis in front of him on the entrance, some luggage already packed and the Hunters were clearly upset, as well as Artemis. – It's not up to debate, lady Artemis, you and your Hunters can't stay at the hotel if my guests are at risk. – He said, while Artemis growled at that, clearly upset about that.
- My Hunters… - She started to say, but Mr. Walker put a hand up to stop her. – Your Hunters maimed two male demigods only because they took their time on the dinning hall deciding what to eat. And another male demigod nearly died as he was pushed by one of your Hunters through the lift space. Only the intervention of others avoided the tragedy. And for what? Only wanting to go to the toilet that was being blocked by your Hunter while she was speaking. – He said, hard tone in his voice.
- It's my duty to keep my guests safe, and all of you decided to break the rules of hospitality that were set and agreed the moment you decided to stay. Now, you must decide if you want to make restitutions or never put your feet again on this hotel. And if you say that the demigods that bothered your Hunters aren't being punished, let me tell you that I think maiming and nearly dying is enough. – Mr. Walker finalized, sending an ultimatum.
Artemis made restitutions and the Hunters kept their violent tendences in check toward the males.
Rule 16: Leave the sick people to the doctors or Apollo/Asclepius floor.
It finally happened; Mr. Walker couldn't get out of his bed because he got the flu. He groaned while fighting the fever, getting up and moving towards the bathroom to take care of his necessities. After that, he got himself again on the bed, deciding to sleep it off. But then, the door opened with a bang, making him groan in pain as he had terrible headache.
What happened afterwards was a full "attack" of demigods wanting to take care of him in multiple ways… Normally, someone would like that, being taken care of, like feeding him some soup, between others. But if said methods were applied by excitable demigods, with their own methods of getting better, it was a disaster… For example, deciding that a bath made by the son of Poseidon powers would get rid of the fever; or a good battle to get the blood running.
Luckily for Mr. Walker, the demigods of Apollo saw that, and sent them packing away to take care properly of Mr. Walker, letting him recover better.
Rule 26: No imitating film's scenes inside the hotel.
Even though the demigods had television inside their rooms so they could enjoy their series in peace, sometimes it was scheduled a film's night, where instead of a normal dinner in the dinning hall, it was transformed into a cinema, with lots of popcorn and drinks. Sometimes even Dionisius came; although staying in the back to avoid being recognized by the demigods, to enjoy a good film.
But having these film nights had some… interesting side effects. – No, no and no. You are not going to try to have those zombie dance, even as a favor to Will! – Mr. Walker said to Nico, denying him the request. Still, that was one of the few… passable scenes, but he knew that if he let one in, the others will be sure to follow like a tsunami of petitions. At least, Nico asked first before doing it…
Then, the song of the Titanic started sounding at full blast. – Jackson! Stop imitating that scene on the pool! – Mr. Walker started to run toward the swimming pool, where he saw the son of Poseidon imitating the scene, only with all the water of the pool.
Somedays he thought about forbidding the film night… But then, he remembered that the demigods had on their room DVD players, so at the end, he would end up dealing with the same. At least that way, he had some kind of preview of what shenanigans he was going to get next time.
Rule 46: Mr. Walker is not a relationship counsellor.
Mr. Walker was sitting on a chair on his office, trying to keep himself from trying to strangle the god that was before him, explaining in too much detail about how he wanted to make nice with his wife, but she didn't want to give him the time of day, how he did mistakes and how to repay her.
After a moment, Mr. Walker sighed and closed his eyes before opening them. – First, I'm not getting between the both of you in trying to fix this up. Second, I would take you seriously enough if you didn't explain all that to me while looking at naked women in the magazine you brought. – Mr. Walker finished, closing the matter, and getting the god out of his chamber, thinking that they didn't pay him enough for this shit.
He nearly screamed to the Styx when the goddess appeared with the same problem, only on inverse and being faithful. But when Hera and Zeus were guests at his hotel, he had to play the part sometimes, even if he repeated it again and again that he wasn't going to become their marriage counsellor. He wasn't even married!
When he pointed out that, he didn't like the look of Hera gave him. Not a frown, or a hateful, or even a blank look. It was her scheming look.
Rule 37: Always do your homework.
In one of the parts of the ground floor, there was a library full of books, adapted to ancient greek, so that the demigods had easier times reading the books if they wanted, although there was a section of normal books though. On the tables, there were some demigods working on their assignments for school or university if they were old enough, speaking softly and helping each other. There was always at least one demigod of Athena acting as a librarian and helping in their own way.
Soon enough, noises came from outside, and Mr. Walker entered with two more demigods alongside him, being grabbed by their ears, and bags on his arms full of school supplies. – Please, make sure they make their own homework and up their grades. Until they do, the usual rules apply. – Mr. Walker said to the horror of the demigods being grabbed by their ears, and sulkily sitting on the tables.
After taking care of the demigods being permanent residents of the hotel, and most of them not having a responsible adult taking care of their education or legal matters, he took the place with a healthy dose of Mist to circumvent the authority. That also meant he received the notification of bad marks, and other problems, so he took into his own hands the punishment for those, which meant no dessert privileges, or not being able to enjoy film nights, or other desirable activities that the hotel could offer, until the problem was solved.
If they kept pushing, it ended up being locked up on the library, only with the books needed to do their homework, and one trip to the bathroom a day. Luckily for them, they never reached that point, or the one below that, which was calling on Chiron and Lupa to give them special attention until the matter was solved.
