Challenge #04416-L032: Undeserving Expectations

The massive house had a large group of Brauniin living within it. Those who stayed there, either as owners or guests, were always required to read the plaques that was by all entrances. "Do not act with greed or entitlement here. Be polite, and always thank the unseen for all that has been done for you. To do otherwise, is to invite misfortune." -- Anon Guest

Every place tells a story, if you know how to listen. It may be in the trails taken by every creature who made them. It may be in the wear of a particular seat, or the patina on a table. Or, in this case, the special features of a hostel house.

It's a peculiar house, to say the least of it. For a start, it's always clean and there's always something cooking at the hearth, but you can't find a soul who lives there.

To some, it appears as a little cottage. To others, a mansion in surprisingly good repair. To more than a few, it reveals its true self, an immense Ygdrassi tree shaped into a house of multiple apartments. And the reason why nobody sees who lives there is - it's full of Brauniin.
