Takota Inn

The Takota Inn is a run-down hole-in-the-wall of a motel found on the Itinerod Circuit. It's filthy and unkept, the staff are creepy, and it's one of the few genuine rest stops for conductors to sleep, as opposed to their trains and a kind village guest at a village junction.

Background
This shifty inn was founded on the Itinerod Circuit. The founder, Seed14 (most call him "Manager Seedy") built it for weary conductors pulling an all-nighter on the mail route. His number one goal is profit, he's not much of a customer service fan, and he rarely cleans the rooms (but will change the sheets if asked).

Sadly, this hotel is thde only rest stop that takes on everyone for many MANY miles to come, and as an incentive, the motel is built on a huge oil field, which also gives it the best quality and cheapest petroleum for the trains... so, many conductors bite the bullet and stay a while.

Places
The first thing one will see when entering the Takotan Inn is the front doors. These thin, forest-green wood doors sit upon rusty hinges, looking as if they would fall off at any moment. Entering the hotel, a bare lightbulb can be seen suspended in the middle of the room, casting a dim and eerie glow upon the brown walls and dark green carpet. The faded and cracked receptionist desk, complete with old-school paper registry and rusty bell, faces the right, and a large bulliten board of keys stands behind it... that's right, no electric cards like a normal inn, oh no, just old-school room keys!

Ringing the bell summons Seed14, who speaks in his morbid, deep voice, one which sends shivers down your spine. The penguin always escorts you to youur room, like a hearse escouring a loved one (he even walks slowly!). All down the corridors one would walk, with more bare bulbs illumionating the walls and floors. Faded paintings line the walls, as do end tables, bent as if one sat on it, with tarnished, damged candlesticks, of which only a few have CANDLES in them.

Your room isn't much better. The rooms have an analog TV set, which only picks up three channels, one or two unmade and often soiled beds with dirty sheets, and a lamp without a lampshade. The complementary paper seems to be from 2000, as the headline reads "NEW NATION OF JUDGES INSTATED, KING CAST ON BOAT".

There is a card table serving as a desk next to a phone jack for dial-up (who uses that anymore?!), and a rotary telephone for room service.
