[ what the fuck ]

It ... flew away with her? Why? [ what the fuc ] How did you catch up to it?

[soba]

The dogs. We also kind of, shot her down?

[ ... ]

Because it turned out the monster turned into a woman? I seriously have no idea what the backstory there was.

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

I'm afraid I do not have the slightest clue.

[ she has never sounded more baffled ]

[soba]

So, nothing like this happened during previous stays?

[ this is bullshit ]

[cluedin]

No. I can't say it has. [ she pauses, hesitating, but: ] I believe some of the differences may be do to something specific to your group.

[soba]

Something specific to us...?

I know we're a bigger group than usual, or is it something else?

[cluedin]

[ she shakes her head ]

Yes, I believe the size of your group influences a lot of the things happening at this time.

[soba]

Huh... I wonder why that would matter?

[ the number of people makes a difference...... hm hmm ]

[cluedin]

[ softly; ]

An excellent question. [ but she shakes her head ] Still, I would advise against breaking into a locked room again.

[soba]

... I don't think I'll be much good in them.

[ he

he is very injured ]

[cluedin]

Your usefulness is not what I am concerned about in that case, sir.

[ stop breaking into rooms ]

[soba]

Sorry about the mess?

[cluedin]

It is nothing I can't handle.

[ there have been ... worse messes... ]

[soba]

... but I think that as long as there are locked rooms, people are going to break in.

Even with what happened to us.

[cluedin]

Even knowing how dangerous they are?

[soba]

When people want answers, they'll do a lot of stupid and dangerous things.

[cluedin]

Is that why your group went in? For answers?

[soba]

Mm. Other people found useful items, too, so...

[ he does not know if it was worth it ]

[cluedin]

So you made a choice to go in.

[ she won't ask if that choice paid off! considering! ]

[soba]

... yeah.

I was expecting to be like... a room. Not that.

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

Understandable. I was surprised when guests did not see the rooms as they were last week, as well. I believe it doubtful anyone will reach where you were again.

[soba]

They better not.

... but do you have any idea what those places are?

[cluedin]

[ she frowns a little in thought, one hand rising up to tug at her pigtail lightly ]

I would not say I know, precisely. [ she hesitates and then speaks as if carefully choosing her words: ] There is a room in this house that has the tendency to ... ah, shape itself to whoever enters it. Perhaps whatever causes that might have... influenced some of the rooms you and your fellow guests have broken into.

[soba]

[ as he does not know about the room of re[dacted] at this point, he just frowns. ]

Is it on another floor? Or a locked room?

[cluedin]

On this floor.

[ she's. guessing he can infer it's the room the other group went into ]
