Of course, finding De meant knowing where to look, and finding out where to look meant getting out of the hotel and asking around. But getting out of a hotel who's receptionists, communications clerks, housemen, bellmen, cooks, and totality of guest had suddenly gone naked would prove to be a bit.....interesting. Several people had been walking the halls and lobby when their garments suddenly vanished, and now people of all makes and professions were scambling about trying to recover some sense of decency. Thouse who'd been fortunate enough to have been in their rooms when it occured made do with towels and sheets and blankets. Others ducked for cover behind potted plants and each other, more than one young lady taking shelter behind the closest male friend they could find, his chivalry leaving him embarrased as he lead her back to her room.
De on the other hand had slept soundly, if not a little unevenly. Somehow someone had managed to break one of the legs supporting his bed, leaving him sleeping at a slightly inclinded angle as he'd slipped between his bed sheets that night. It was no matter really, he'd slept in less confortable positions in less comfortable surroundings, so a little wobble in the bed was nothing. Of course, his sound sleep hadn't been interrupted by the same noises as his commrades, so at the moment he was still unawares of their situation.
Back at the hotel, things began to calm down as people scurried back into their rooms or into the room of a compassionate friend. The hotel staff itself appeared wholly unprepared for such an unusal occurance as was still in utter disarray even as the guests started to get a hold of themselves. Within minutes the front desk was swarmed with upset patrons garbed in linens, demanding to know where their personals had been taken, while other guests now roamed the halls and strolled from room to room covered in towels as if it were just another day at some spa. Chandi, standing out from the crowd a bit with her sheets stolled up the hall and around the corner exchanging a good natured smile and a nod with other passer-bys as she tried to remember which room AJ and Vok were in. Kei's she'd happened upon less than a minute out in the hall, but recieved no responce to her knocking, and now she tried to replay the previous nights conversations and quick tours to see if her recollection would lead her in the right direction.
To her credit she got it on the second try, her first attempt being met by a decidely older gentleman of what appeared to be German descent. She politely excused herself and tried the next door, this time hitting paydirt as AJ met her at the door and ushered her in.
