With the hotel theme, I was required to use this phrase at least once.

Author's Note: So, when I initially went about asking permission from people to feature their characters in this interactive, I primarily focused around asking people who's content was aimed towards the more traditional, magic act variety of NBM. Of course this really limits what I love about NBM as a whole, which is the large variety of situations that can lead to characters interacting with it. So, with us nearing the end of the interactive, I wanted to show my thanks to the variety of writers and artists that really helped get me into NBM in the first place. So, I've sprinkled this part with a whole bunch of references (some rather blatant, others a little more ambiguous) to some of the writers and artists that I really admire for the way that they manage to write/draw such compelling pieces. There's fourteen intentional ones in total, along with some red herrings I put in to make the game of spotting them a little more interesting (although I wouldn't say my herrings are particularly fresh, if you know what I mean).
Since these are just references rather than using the character for a part of telling the story, I didn't feel the need to ask for permission, but if you spot your character, and feel that you don't want them to be referenced, I'll gladly remove them (if they are, in fact, your character).

Also, If I were to individually list out every single person that I wanted to thank for allowing their character to appear in the interactive, we'd be here for a while (Don't worry, the last part will have the full thank you). So, I'd like to just give a blanket thank you (for now) for everyone's character who appeared in the interactive thus far as guest.

Also, Also: As of this chapter, we've surpassed 150,000 (unadjusted) words! Frankly, since I'm expecting three more parts (Finale, Results, Epilogue), we just might be able to skirt 160k unadjusted words.

As always, leave questions that you want to ask any character (and there's a lot of them you can ask here, so please be gentle, I still have to write the finale) down below. They will be answered in the next chapter. From last year, it's generally good form to split up multiple questions between different characters by at the start of a question character_name: question, but you can do whatever you want really.
