This is the biggest group we've ever had. Master Blue usually invites fifteen guests or less. [Hence...fifteen rooms.]

[soba]

You could have found extra beds?!

[cluedin]

We only had a week! Have you ever tried to find 21 beds on short notice while planning for a large event?

[soba]

Do you not have the internet?

[ WOW, EXPRESS SHIPPING :/ ]

[cluedin]

[With a straight face.]

We don't get delivery out here.

[soba]

That's hard to believe when one of you is a NEET.

[ pumpkin. ]

[cluedin]

And it's hard to believe you're a kappa as a sidejob but it's true, isn't it?

[soba]

[ ... ]

Touche.

[cluedin]

We'll try to make it up to you by providing you with what we can. Even if it's not an extra bed.

...did you know Nikki well after this last week?

[soba]

I wouldn't say I know anyone well here... but we did talk. We shared a room, so...

[cluedin]

Did you get along at least? This must have been unexpected for you.

[soba]

She was nice, so I was surprised when it didn't up being her.

[ it made more sense when it turned out there was some weird

rat stuff

going on ]

[cluedin]

[...Francy did you mean wasn't or am I just confused.]

We never really spoke to her, but it's only the first week. We're still trying to learn more about our guests but...it's difficult sometimes.

[soba]

[ I MEANT WHEN IT DID END UP BEING HER I CAN'T TYPE ]

I'd be surprised if anyone could claim they know someone super well after just a week.

[cluedin]

[WE'RE FINE!!!!]

Do you find it hard to connect to people? [That is to say...] Just from observing some of you, many of you are making bonds pretty quickly even if you were total strangers before.

[soba]

[ hm... ]

What do you think connecting with people means?

[cluedin]

...it means getting to know them and starting to understand them to work with or help them, doesn't it? [...] That's what it's always seemed like in stories and stuff.

[soba]

[ he's just nodding ]

Do you think it's possible to exist without connections?

[cluedin]

Wouldn't that depend on what you think existing is? [This got philosophical oops. ]

[soba]

[ why does this always happen ]

So, can you live without people?

[cluedin]

Why would you want to? Meeting people and making friends is...you know. Kind of special. [She frowns.] A life without people sounds lonely.

[soba]

Not everyone can make those kinds of connections, you know. People have different circumstances that make it hard.

[cluedin]

We've been serving in this house for many years, Kuji. I know people have different circumstances, but is it a bad thing to admire people who can make connections and hope that others will, too?

[soba]

[ hm... ]

I guess you can, if you want.

[cluedin]

And I will. [There was no argument but she's saying it anyway.]

...we weren't expecting something quite like this to happen. So I guess I'm just hoping people won't fall apart too early here.
