Service staff work

You head back to the kitchen with a tray of dirty dishes knowing you need to switch. You're amazed how strong the slim woman is that you suited. Obviously, she works out which her memories confirm. She's even allowed to use the resort's facilities as a perk of the job. She was there earlier before her shift. You must have just missed her. She's also a health food addict. It seems a strange combination that she was off smoking when you suited her, but you have other things to think about besides analyzing her. At least there's nothing to indicate she was tampered with by your organization.

"Hey, Suzy. How's the party going?" It's Rob Johnson, a good friend of Suzy's. Tall and lean and platonic, though Suzy would gladly do him, but even her flirts have never drawn any interest. He's a dishwasher at the resort. Doesn't smoke and enjoys the good food of life: sugary and greasy.

"Weird and wild like they all are. Fortunately, no one has climbed on the tables like last week."

"Wish I could have seen that one. Not much fun just cleaning up all night after the rich, but it pays the bills."

"Yeah. Got another couple hours before we have to clear everything, but Rodney said we may have to stay later, after midnight. Don't mind the extra pay, though." Rob smiles and nods concurrence.

Rodney's the kitchen and bar manager. He's an ass that gets to strut around and give orders if he thinks anything isn't going right. He was one of the people with ear-phones during Alexandra's dance. Supposedly, they're connected to his walkie-talkie so he can use to call the kitchen or security.

As if on cue, a blast comes through the kitchen speakers. "Suzy, where have you gotten to? You better not be off smoking somewhere. There's glasses and plates piling up, and bring out some clean ones. They're using 'em up fast. Rob better have the first batch washed by now."

You and Rob share a shake of your heads and both mouth, "Asshole."

As you carry back the tray of clean dishes, you think of how best it would be to get to the Bloom. As a service person, your chances of getting anywhere near Alexandra are slim. Maybe you could suit Rodney; he has a much better chance, and you could find out from his memories if he's involved in the fairy snatch that you foiled.

It'd be better if you could get back into the wedding party. However, Rodney will probably be watching you closely making it difficult to sneak off following someone who may go for a break to the restroom or just off down one of the paths. Plus whoever was using the Fairy dance tech is going to be watching you as well. Although, Rodney can't stop you if you have to use the restroom yourself as long as you're quick. "Don't just sit around peeing all night," as he's liable to say per Suzy's past encounters with him on the same subject. He's a stupid, insensitive ass.

Just as you round a bend behind the bushes, a guest approaches you. He's tall and moves nicely. You can tell he's well built the way he carries himself. With the light behind him, though, you can't make out the face. You could probably pen him and switch right here since no one should be using this path except the staff which is really just you until the servers are done.

"Excusse me, m-miths. Is thiths the w-way to the rrrrrresthtrooms?" His slurring indicates he's had quite a bit to drink, but that's not what draws your attention. You recognize the voice. It's Holden Perry, the groom.
