[soba]

No. This is more or less how my luck tends to be.

[ he's still

very mad

but he's also just "well of fucking COURSE i'd be taken to a murder mansion" ]

[cluedin]

Do you often experience drastic changes like this then? [She remembers their last conversation and admittedly she's curious about what Toi's used to. ]

[soba]

Yes.

I'd like it to stop.

[cluedin]

How did things like this start in the first place? Where you're from, I mean.

[soba]

By breaking statues...

[ he's internally closing his eyes ]

[cluedin]

By--huh? [Uh. Toi???] Why would you do something like that?

[soba]

It wasn't on purpose! It got in the way.

[ no it didn't ]

[cluedin]

In the way of what? That sounds pretty rude of it.

[...is she teasing him? Maybe.]

[soba]

Shut up!

[ he grumbles.... rude ]

It just wasn't a normal statue.

[cluedin]

[Her eyes immediately light up.]

Was it magic? A witch? A tsukumogami? [A statue is probably too big for that but look. For a furry she seems weirdly excited by the concept of a magical statue.]

[soba]

It was a kappa.

[ yea ]

[cluedin]

With the...[She lifts her hands to hold above her head to indicate a water dish.] Ohhh...

...but aren't you a kappa, too? [She can read.]

[soba]

Not always.

[ did you know she is the first person to ask about this ]

[cluedin]

[...I hate our friends so much.]

I got that impression since you look very human right now. Are you a shapeshifter then? [Like he came here to ask about murderhouse but now they're just going to talk about this ig.]

[soba]

... I guess that's one way to describe it, yeah.

[ he makes a vague hand gesture ]

It's complicated.

[cluedin]

But let me guess. You can't change here either? People have mentioned they're missing powers and things.

[soba]

[ technically he wouldn't be able to change without keppi but like

he refuses to explain keppi's involvement here ]

Is anything going to be done about that...?

[cluedin]

We're looking into it. Now that things have changed it's a little higher on the priority list and all. I can't say that it will be fixed right away, but...Master Blue's checking.

[soba]

Although I'm not sure I like the idea of people with powers when they might try to kill you.

[cluedin]

[She appears thoughtful for a moment.]

People might try to kill us anyway, you know? But we'll be okay.

[soba]

What about everyone else? I'm pretty sure not everyone here had abilities like that.

They'd be easy targets.

[cluedin]

It becomes a question of what is and isn't fair, right? So you can see the dilemma in the first place. If we figure out where your powers went, we're putting those without powers at a disadvantage. But if we don't figure out where they went, it's putting everyone with powers at a disadvantage without the things they've gotten used to.

It's complicated.

[soba]

So no matter what, it's going to suck for someone.

... that's typical.

[cluedin]

We don't really like it any more than you guys do. [A shrug.] We're still trying to find all of your items, too.

[soba]

Does your boss normally lose things?
