"I see. There's nothing surprising about that, and nothing wrong." It's the ones that do have much experience that come with more worrisome traits. Oftentimes experience is attempting to summon spirits for attempted bidding or in desperate mourning, or causing a general ruckus to see what haunts might scream back; none of which are particularly welcome in the Mansion.

"No, no, there's nothing to worry about for the most part. Certainly not in this room or the hallway outside, if that is your concern. While there are a few rooms that mortals shouldn't pass through without an ectoplasmic escort, they're all housed deeply within our halls, where the living staff almost never have reason to wander there in the first place outside of emergencies. You'll be informed most carefully of what can be dangerous if you pass muster. The Haunted Mansion is for spooky celebration and entertainment, not murders or curses." He sets his hands on either side of the paper, leaving the faintest impressions on the dark wood. "And if your fear overwhelms you during this interview, you are always fully free to leave. We're not desperate enough for mortal maids to press-gang you here, hmm?"

The circumstances are certainly frustrating, however. Some of the best workers are the sort with bravery and dreams--mortals that have hopes and aspirations elsewhere, and so have less reason to stay for long. The Host will take what he can get with mortals that aren't so foolish, even if they can't stay for as much time as he'd like.

"As the advertisement should have said, the general duties of our maids and butlers are to keep areas of the Mansion clean, and to keep guests on the right track. This is a space primarily for ghosts, so only a few areas will truly require attention of a caretaking kind; we prefer rather unlivable conditions, you see. We're having most unique tours! All for the living to enjoy a few jumps and fun, as well as giving the restless dead chances to socialize and--briefly--enjoy the easily-startled company of the mortals that choose to come in."
