This is my first foray into 9 Story Hotel - (I know... how is that possible) However, the pleasure of meeting everyone through Nerisse is currently delectably weird... onto chapter 2

This is a strong start to something unsettling....I like how we meet Nerisse at her lowest and thrown into the The Alice in Wonderland references

Nerisse speaks in literary tongues with everyone unless she's caught off gaurd or in a dead panic.

Pinch gets Alice.

Grim, Bishop, and Althea all have references too.

Abdiel gets abject terror.

Vlad... well. She hasn't spoken much to Vlad yet but if don't pick Dostoevsky Emil might murder me.

it is still most succulent.
