It wasn't something we could tell everyone right away or it'd set off a mass-panic. Not to mention...well. You've seen how the house behaves when we say too much. It's not good.

[soba]

[ he nods his head. yeah, it kind of sucks. ]

I guess we know enough now that you can get away with more?

[cluedin]

It's still a little iffy sometimes, but...I guess we don't really care anymore. It's more important for you guys to know what you can.

[soba]

Well... if we fail, would that make things more difficult for you guys in the future?

[cluedin]

If you truly do fail, we'll do as we've always done. The Master will invite new guests, and we'll begin again. But they really do believe this group will accomplish everything.

[soba]

But would things get harder for you if that happens again? Shit keeps changing based on what the previous groups and the house does, right?

So if we got really close this time, wouldn't the house be even more shitty in the future to stop that from happening?

[cluedin]

Yes, that's right. We're durable enough and the Master is foolhardy, I suppose, in a way that optimism continues driving us all forward. The House would retaliate in a worse way, but the Master would find another way to try and give the guests an advantage.

...let's just call it a science.

[soba]

Hm.

This science sucks.

[cluedin]

No joke. But the nice thing about science is that eventually something has to be proven right. All we can do is hope people don't quit before then.

[soba]

... well, considering what this group is like, I think they'd die before they give up.

[cluedin]

As morbid as it sounds, that seems to be what's been happening anyway. So I think you're probably right.

[soba]

So, I guess the answer is to keep going for people who are stubborn as hell, if we fuck it up.

[cluedin]

There's a reason this group is rowdier than most. But like. In a good way and not a bloodthirsty way like other groups have been.

[soba]

[ my paid is dead so i'm stuck with all kappa icons i'm crying ]

Good thing we got rid of the weird horse guy early on.

[cluedin]

[Listen we're dropping literally all of these when CRAU starts anyway it's fine.]

...Mr. Valentini had some very...interesting hobbies. I was trying to find a polite way to tell him I couldn't get him a freezer to potentially store and preserve heads.

[soba]

[ ..... ]

He wanted to do what.

[cluedin]

Yeah it was a whole...thing. But we're not often allowed to say no to guests, so actually it was almost a relief when he died? But don't tell anyone I said that.

[soba]

I don't think anyone would hold it against you.

[ they would probably be more concerned if she said the opposite ]

[cluedin]

Well, Mr. Valentini might have and then it'd be my head in my freezer. Not that Plum couldn't sew it back on but I'd rather, like, not.

[soba]

I think everyone would have had more of a heart attack than usual if we found you like that weeks ago.

[cluedin]

That's sort of sweet. To be honest we were almost expecting it but all of you turned out to be pretty nice in the end.

[soba]

Did it happen before...?

[cluedin]

I've never lost my head before, but people weren't always so nice to us...

[soba]

I'm not surprised about not at the beginning [ they were also assholes then ] but through the whole thing?

[cluedin]

Yes. Not every group had people willing to be friends with us. The others sort of got used to it.
