I think you’ll find the service at the Baroness to be… exemplary.
I find perception and reality intersect far less than most would think.
May your time in New York be unforgettable.
After the ritual is complete, if you’d like tickets to South Pacific, don’t be afraid to ask.
At the Baroness, we always strive for perfection.
Today will be a day unlike any other, I assure you.
New York is a fascinating place, isn’t it? You never know who you’re going to meet.
It’s important to never overlook the help.

I’m afraid a doorman’s job is never done.
Alas, my duties at the Baroness consume me today.
Sadly, the guests at the Baroness demand my attention.
I think that today, I shall simply remain a humble doorman.
Do come back again.
When you need me, I’ll be ready.
The Baroness will gladly open its doors to you, should you wish it.
Best of luck with the Patrons today.
I don’t feel the need to insert myself in the Patrons little spat.
After the ritual, you should stop by our lounge. Francis makes a lovely Martini.

A gift from the Baroness.
Enjoy.
Allow me to deal with them.
This should help.
You’re not welcome here.
You’ve overstayed your welcome.
I’ll deal with the hooligan.
Begone.
Away with you.
Ah-ah, move along, please.

Short
Welcome to the Baroness.
I hope you enjoy your stay here.
Please, enjoy our hospitality.
Such secrets the Baroness can show you.
[Laughter]
All you have to do is walk toward that door.
The Baroness is always looking for new guests.
I hope your time at the Baroness is unforgettable.
Please, forgive the mess, the Baroness is mid-renovation.
Long
You are, of course, welcome to stay at the Baroness for as long as you’d like. I do hope you enjoy your visit.
Right now, I’m sure your mind is reeling. Questioning your very eyes, if not your sanity.
The hallowed halls of the Baroness welcome all. We do not discriminate. Stay as long as you’d like.
Time slips away, as does your worry. Well, I suppose your worry is likely mounting as we speak, but eventually, it will give way to... inevitability. And from there, to the sweet blackness of the void.
Your friends are alone. Likely dying, while you sit here basking in the finest luxuries this plane can offer. You can try to save them, but why? You’re already too late.
Why die on the streets of Manhattan, like a common criminal? Die here in the Baroness, like a celebrity, with creative demons and a substance abuse problem.
Personally, I’m impressed with your will to live. It’s futile, and pointless, but inspiring. Like watching a colony of ants, working to carrying a strawberry, blissfully unaware of the gardener turning on the hose.
Thank you for giving your life at the Baroness hotel. Gratuities are never expected, but always appreciated.
The Patrons have waited centuries to be summoned, they can wait a little longer. Stay. Enjoy the sauna and Egyptian cotton sheets. Let the troubles of the world melt away.
Know this, Bebop: when Miss Shelly dies, it will be because of your failure.
Long
How much of your time is spent taking care of Miss Shelly, Bebop? The double life you lead must be exhausting. Take some time for yourself, you deserve it.
Normally, I would take this time to make you confront your inner demons, but in order to do that, you’d have to be a person with some sort of actual passion and drive, but you’re not! You’re a caricature of outrage, a contrarian who thinks that hating something is the same thing as being interesting. So please leave, you’re dreadfully boring.
Look on the bright side, Calico. When your body rots, I’ll take care of your cat.
Long
I see you, Calico. Your heart is cold, but it is not dead. There is a part of you that has not buried the past. It’s not too late to rethink your choices. Stay a while. The Baroness has a way of calming the tempest of the mind.
Reality twists and bends around you. How can this be? Has the Baroness turned on its loyal servant, or has a fledgling god lost his mind in the face of the Patrons?
Your heart beats faster as you find yourself in new territory. Slowly, but surely, realizing that here you are no predator, merely vermin scuttling down the hall. It wont be long before you find yourself feeling something that’s eluded you for centuries: fear.
Professor, be honest with yourself. You’re never getting your body back.
Long
Professor, a little birdie told me that your anniversary is coming up. How wonderful! I would love to extend the Baroness’ hospitality to you and your wife.
Talon, you couldn’t save your family and you can’t save yourself.
Long
Wesley. You dedicated your life to protecting others, but in the end, you couldn’t protect your son. Or his wife. Or their children. How many moments of their lives did you miss because you were too busy? Because you were traveling for work, because your calling was important and your family would be there when you return. Yes, their lives were stolen, but it was you who robbed them of a father. Well done.
Keep calling yourself a Sandman instead of executioner. Maybe you’ll believe it.
Long
The OSIC is lucky to have you, Haze. Your commitment to your work is an inspiration, but even you deserve some R&R. Why don’t you take a PTO day at the Baroness?
If you’re here with me, who is protecting the Arroyos from Mendoza?
Long
Ivy, you’re a good person, and I have no desire to torment you here. Just know this: In five years, one of the Arroyos is going to die, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
You pushed away Edrick for his ambitions, yet remained a slave to your own.
Long
You wrestle with so much guilt. The things you know you did and, even more horrifying, the things you forgot. But at the Baroness, you don’t need to worry about Edrick or the expedition. Let me lighten the load.
Your creations are responsible for the deaths of millions, McGinnis, you’re a monster.
Long
The pursuit of excellence is a marathon, not a sprint. And while you are miles ahead of your competition, you still have miles to go. So please, take this time to rejuvenate yourself and relax. Fairfax Industries will be there tomorrow. You can take some me-time today.
You’re a nobody, Mina. You don’t have a chance at becoming viscount.
Long
Mina, Mina, Mina. Your future was stolen from you by an assassin’s bullet and replaced with the promise of eternal youth. We both know how well that’s turned out for you. You’re a child, just learning to play a game that others have spent hundreds of years perfecting. You are destined to fail.
Krill, Maurice would be better off if he never met you.
Short
Maurice, Krill is dead weight. An albatross, whose petty schemes have driven you to hide in the muck, like a common criminal. But you’re not common, you’re exceptional. Free yourself of him and see this for yourself.
Long
Krill, your brilliant shines in the dark, but it would be radiant in the sun. Why do you lower yourself to Maurice’s standards? Your blind loyalty to him has cost you opportunity after opportunity. Cast him aside. Accept who you are.
You’re not the hero of your story. You’re a footnote in mine.
Long
Patience! You now find yourself the Alice to my Cheshire Cat. So please, indulge in your personal Lewis Carroll fantasy as long as you wish. Such wonderful sights and experiences await you here at the Baroness.
What will the Paradox council think when you fail in truly spectacular fashion?
Long
I know what you’re thinking, Paradox. Sadly there are no tchotchkes for you to take as a souvenir from your time at the Baroness. Just the memory of an unforgettable experience.
Why couldn’t you have just died, like your family wanted? It would have saved us a lot of trouble.
Long
Arin, your mother and father love you, and would be glad to see you come ho-... [Breaks into laughter] Sorry, I tried, but I couldn’t keep a straight face, you have no home
You were in love once, but that has given way to spite and jealousy. You don’t need a divorce, you need time together. Why don’t you stay in our honeymoon suite?
You weren’t made for great purpose, you were made on a whim, to satisfy some scientist’s hubris.
Long
You’ve looked so hard for answers, Victor, yet they still elude you... It must be exhausting. Take a moment to rest. The mysteries of your past will be there tomorrow.
You can’t put a bullet through hate, Vindicta. Hathorne will win.
Long
Vindicta, how many lives have you claimed? Do they weigh on you? If so, rest, and purge yourself of that nagging sense of guilt. If not, take a moment to revel in the fruits of your labor.
Oh, why bother taunting you, you’re going to die of liver failure anyway.
Long
I’ve seen you eye the Baroness as you stumble through Manhattan. Wondering what life could be like if you were the sort of person worthy of its hospitality. Vyper, I’m here to tell you that you are worthy. Just stay. You belong here.
Your aspirations are about to come crashing down, Wraith. The house always wins.
Long
You’re a gambling woman, right Wraith? I bet you don't have the will to stay here until I'm finished talking. You're probably scoffing at the idea right now: „why would I do that, there’s nothing to gain?” and yet you’re curious. Maybe the risk is worth the reward. Maybe there is a carrot at the end of the stick. Even as your life is slowly ebbing from your body, you wonder if this is a trick. Some sort of meta-commentary that is challenging you, and if you stay the course, riches await. They don't. Well, maybe they do, and this is part of the trick. Maybe I'm desperate to stall time because I need you to back out before you gain immeasurable power. Are you still alive? I can keep talking. You're fun.
The only way you’ll ever honor your brother is by falling on his sword.
Long
Your brother died to save your life, Kaori, and what do you have to show for it? A life of exile in a country full of people that can't be bothered to learn your real name, and an organization that is a shadow of its former glory. Just give up Kaori. Sorry, I forgot it’s “Yamato” now.
