Van Thomas has just inherited a house from his late grandparents in the countryside and has moved into it--only to realize the house is a rather popular resort that serves all kinds of customers all year round. As the owner and manager of the building, he realizes that the inn caters to an unusual clientele, and has an even more unique staff. His secretary is named Daji. A pirate named Waverly Leviathan with   resemblance to Poseidon often stays. Daji's nephew often stays and calls himself Sun Wukong. A novelist and screenwriter, Athena, is working on a masterpiece. Then there's the CEO named Odin and his twin sons named Loki. Could these mythological connections be more than coincidence?

The Wendigo Inn

When we have a moment alone in the suite we stayed in last time, Daji asks, with unnatural calm, "How are you going to juggle being the emperor and and helping out Wan Hu? You are putting yourself in a locked room with no way out. There is only one exit, right?" She looks at Kryptosia for confirmation.

After a quick search of the room for any security weaknesses, Kryptosia answers Daji's question. "That's so. I could not find any other way that the Consortium gained entry to that room--except through Wan Hu's brief nap."

I can't help snickering. At times, Kryptosia can be unintentionally hilarious. It's all in the deadpan delivery.
