But you made the rules! And of course we wouldn't agree, but we also didn't want to kill her with proof, and you still made us!

Something is fishy here!

[cluedin]

We didn't make the rules. We follow them and enforce them.

[But she's pretty sure that's not a good enough answer.]

If you think something suspicious is happening in this house, might I suggest starting to investigate more?

[burningrescue]

That's what I'm trying to do! But you're leading me around in circles. You said you three researched the rules, didn't you?

[cluedin]

We researched our options because of the rules. There's a difference. [Sorry Galo.]

[burningrescue]

[He's too stupid and impatient for this!!!]

Then whose rules are they!

[cluedin]

[There, there...Peach pauses to think this through.]

They don't really belong to anyone? They're just rules to help with the house. [She's not explaining herself well.] You can't punch an answer out of this if that's what you're hoping to do.

[burningrescue]

I'm not planning to punch you, sheesh. I'm just lost!

[Like that was an unreasonable assumption.]

Is there somebody who can change the rules? If they're not working, or not helping enough?

[cluedin]

I meant whoever was responsible for the rules! [She's pouting.] Last weekend a lot of fights broke out and people were throwing furniture even before Haruka's death. It's hard to say what people will do now.

But well...we do always have the last rule in place that the rules may be amended at any time. If we find that rule six doesn't occur and rule seven isn't necessary, they could in theory be removed.

[burningrescue]

Okay. So you guys can change the rules. But for right now, you don't want to, 'cause it seems like they're a good idea because of the things happening, like with Nikki.

Is that what you're saying?

[cluedin]

More or less, yes. If it seems that the house is no longer in need of those rules, they can be removed. But for right now, they're in place and we can't remove them.

I hope that makes a little more sense.

[burningrescue]

It makes sense. Feels like you're still talking around who can change them. Is it you guys or isn't it?

[cluedin]

It isn't. [She'll just. Have to remember things are fairly black and white for Galo.]

[burningrescue]

Is it Master Blue who can change them?

[cluedin]

...that sounds like a question to ask the Master. But I can always pass the message along.

[burningrescue]

Okay! [Nodding! Now he feels like he's getting somewhere.] Can you pass it on? Also, tell him I wanna talk to him face to face. But at least you guys should change the rule where someone has to be executed even if we don't find the person who did the killing, yeah?

[Giving her a thumbs up to show how reasonable this is.]

If the point is really justice and protecting everybody, that should be easy to do!

[cluedin]

I'll be sure to tell the Master your request, sir. [She tilts her head at the second part though.]

What do you suppose would happen if you didn't find the culprit, Mr. Thymos? [Like she doesn't exactly disagree that the execution rule isn't great for an innocent party, but....you know.]

[burningrescue]

Mmm. Probably the wererat would bite more people. But wouldn’t that also still happen if we executed an innocent person?

[cluedin]

In theory, yes...[...] It's not like we've ever had guests turn into monsters before. Everything we've been able to tell you are things we've been learning ourselves.

[burningrescue]

Just pass it along. If Master Blue really wants to show that you guys are only looking out for us, he should be able to change the execution rule so we don't have to kill an innocent person if we really can't solve it. If he does that, we'll do our part and try to find anyone who's doing the killing.

[Galo, this is not going to work. But he sure thinks it will.]

You ever had guests die here before...?

[cluedin]

[Poor Galo. You're trying, buddy.]

I'll pass the message along when we speak next, sir.

[The question gets a curious look instead.] Why do you ask?

[burningrescue]

I dunno! Seems relevant!

[cluedin]

[Fair.]

Guests have an impact on the things that happen during these events, Mr. Thymos. That, unfortunately, is out of our hands.

[burningrescue]

So, basically, yes. This isn't the first time people showed up here and died.

[cluedin]

It's not like guests are invited here to start killing each other. But...due to the fact that all of the Master's guests are wildly different, we've been trained to be prepared just in case something of that nature happens.

[burningrescue]

So how does the Master decide who to invite, anyway?
