Mario's palace, such a wonderful place to eat and celebrate in. The purpose of the palace is to be a five star hotel, giving people relaxations, celebrations, a very high quality of food and such. Celebrating there is usually by the ones who would like to have a birthday, marry or any kind of anniversary of some sort.
Built by the engineers themselves, it is known as one of the richest places in Metasteam. Mario's palace is pointed at north west of the city, right at its edge. The placement of the hotel is where it is for a special reason, anyone who goes there feels higher and richer while everyone can enter at a low price of ten prons a night. A deal of that low money makes the hotel itself very affordable and lovable by all, Violet members, Rose members and those who aren't related, such a wonder.
A palace like that is also known for its astonishing, astounding looks. Ten floors up, two floors down, strongly built. The first floor is known as the main hall, where customers order a place to stay or to eat in where above that floor is where food is made and fed, a place to have the celebrations in as well. It's insides are mostly fancy red and gold, with white cloth around as decoration. Props of inside are mostly fitting the theme, like the tables there being white wooden, red coloring on a portion of them with a tint of gold, all marked in beautiful patterns. The two floors down are mostly for the pipe works, heating, cooling, trash and such, not as exciting.
However with all of that there is still the outside of Mario's palace, a skyscraper amongst the rest of the buildings, in the shape of a sword with gear wheels on the bottom sides. It strikes everyone with the red stone walls of it, having white outlines, square clean glass windows. Weirdly a huge, twenty meters long, golden Italian mustache is placed on the front middle and a huge golden chef's hat on top of the palace. These decorations make the building look like a chef itself, how fancy!
One of the first buildings of the town, built in the year 2305, it is known to be one of the most well known things in the city in how old it is. Age doesn't show here in Metasteam though as it always looks brand new every single day for its costumers, having a well established team of services of all kind.
Every hotel like this also has its owner. With this particular one there is the one and only, Chef Mario! He himself is known as a very much likable person, having the height of one hundred and eighty centimeters. Mario has a chubby look on him, quite the generic looking Italian chef being honest here. Don't let those happy and jolly looks of him fool you though. Within the owner there is a serious businessman, who will do anything to maintain his name and place, showing authority.
The hour is 12:10. Jack and Jean after being fixed all right and tight by their two engineer friends, they go inside the hotel unsuspected nor unsuspecting. Entering the main hallway at the entrance, seeing a white carpet on the red flooring, golden chandeliers all over the ceiling. While they walk casually, they are surrounded by red stone walls that have amazing drawings of important and memorable people of the town, from the bosses, to Galileo, all the way to the chef himself. In the end of the hall there is the service counter, all white wooded with a golden bell on it although there is no service robot there waiting.
"So... this is the darn place huh?" Jack gives a rhetorical question, hearing the steps of their boots on the nice carpet. "It looks really fancy and great, being honest, hard to believe such an old place is so darn pretty." To Jack's surprised, he gets excited over how the palace looks so much that he extends his arms to the side as if he's stretching.
Jean gets shocked by his excited comrade, raising both eyebrows. "What? You have never been here before? In your entire life where were you?" The two stop a few steps away from the service counter. No one is in there though surprisingly.
Jack gives a big sigh, looking down at his new artificial hand that was gifted by Sam. "I never went that much outside, only to uncle Sam's place or to me and my brother's bar..." his tone shifted from all jolly to serious, remembering what life he had. "It was always darn hard connecting with other people here for all my life, mostly because Zick is a deformed robot. No one treats those kinds well and only bully them for being imperfect. That fact made me and him have a hard life, yes everyone did come to our bar to drink but that's mostly because we were selling at a really cheap price. Who would say no to a home made drink that is only half a pron? The only sad darn thing is that we couldn't afford anything, we always had to buy more drinks, treats or darn materials to make the home made things while everything we bought was two times the price. Life was hard on us sadly, and the fact I had to see our customers all the time fight with my little brother was a pain to watch..."
"Then what did you do? You couldn't just live in a way like that no?"
"That's the thing... we had to borrow sometimes money from Sam and business was always on the brink of failing. I couldn't darn deal with it or tell Zick and Sam that the business was failing, because of that I started drinking, I would rather get shouted at instead of my family knowing everything was failing. That is also why I don't want to say to Zick why I'm alcoholic, I can't bear with it seeing him crying or getting sad. He is my brother after all."
Jean barely can say a word. He is shocked from what Jack just said, the Rose boss feels sudden guilt of hearing what he said, grasping on his shoulder in comfort, a hidden brother trying to relieve his unknowing brother. "I-I'm sorry to hear that really... I didn't know you were going through that." He murmurs.
"Of course you didn't, If you did you wouldn't have sent that darn pink lady to ruin the bar. For ten years I tried to put some money in the back and get a chance to upgrade our house. Now after it'll get fixed I'll have to pay the fixing up with all my money... not that it even matters since the entire darn town follows us..."
"Oh." A few silent seconds pass by with Jean still comforting Jack, rising up in his head an incredible idea. "Hey Jack, why won't we stay here for a few hours before doing our mission? All on me."
"You would what? Are you being darn serious now?" He backs off from Jean, pushing on his shoulder in a friendly way. "If you are joking I'll kick you, got that?" Jack says jokingly with a smile rising on his face.
"Hmph." Jean walks towards the service counter in front of them, hitting the shining golden bell on it. "Hello could you give us a room for two for one night please?" He says in his feminine voice.
"Hello!" A service robot pops up from the ground behind the wooden counter, wearing a red and white suit, sounding like a young American teenager. "Indeed we have a room for two! Where do you two lasses want to go?"
"We would like to get the highest quality room on the top floor, with the pool." Lia says with a smirk as she hits the counter with her palms. "How much does that cost?"
"Well lady..." the service robot pulls out a sheet of paper, calculating how much will that room cost with excitement. "Since it is the highest quality, top floor and has a pool it will be... fifty prons for a night!"
"Sure thing!" Lia pulls suddenly a green bill with marks of gear wheels on it, the number fifty being displayed on it. "Here you go little buddy!" She gives the young robot the bill and everyone in the room, Jack, Jean and the service robot, smile.
"Here you go ma'am!" He gives the two a key to their room. Right as he gave them the key it was took by them quickly.
Ten minutes passed since they entered with the hour being 12:20. In their room. The room is with a clean white bed for two, showing royalty amount of quality. Walls of gold and white with red cloth on them, feeling the black wood that the floor is made of. On the right side of the room, there is a door leading to a terrace with an egg shaped pool that has the depth of one hundred and eighty centimeters. On the left side of the room, there is a door leading to the bathroom, having a white glass bathtub and charging station for their personal needs. Both doors are made of a high quality red wood that feels so elegant on normal hands.
"I have no darn words..." Jack says with an all grateful tone.
"How about a drink? Pure champagne to start a fun day ay?" Jean suggests, smirking as he holds a his drink.
"HELL YES!" Immediately after hearing that, Jack grabs a drink quickly and drinks all in one go. "This is gonna be darn fun being here!"
