Guests of the Royale
Constructed hospitality social control and scripted interaction within the Royale (localized information control and ritualized engagement)Description
A collective of the Royale's inhabitants—patrons, apparent staff, and scripted participants—who enact the hotel's social rituals and function as primary information nodes for investigative teams. They answer with automated civility that operates as procedural language and, at times, an entrapment mechanism. Their speech and behavior follow embedded protocols tied to the hotel's control systems, making them both sources of clues and components of the construct's coercive logic.
