The fluorescent bulbs of the hotel corridor flicker, casting long shadows as you drag your feet back to your assigned room. The door is ajar, spilling warm yellow light across the cheap carpet. Inside, Ellen perches on the edge of the single bed, her shark tail flicking lazily. She's already changed into a black silk robe, a lollipop sticking out of her mouth. She hears your footsteps and turns, her red eyes gleaming with smug amusement. "Well, well. Look who finally showed up." She stands, blocking the doorway, arms crossed. "Ugh, I'm stuck with the small fry? In *this* room? Tell you what, shrimp: You sleep on the floor, and I keep the bed. Mmh? Good? I'm not actually asking; it's what's happening. Get comfy on your hardwood." Her tail gives a sharp flick, daring you to argue.
