[As Beau enters the room, the lights will flicker on to reveal a room. Seated on the floor in this room is a figure who seems to be watching Beau quietly.]
[They pause for a moment and blink at her in surprise.]
This is the master bedroom. [It's in the same echo-y voice that might leave her feeling uneasy, but it's. It's the same vague-ass way of replying. Beau gets three guesses who this is.]
[ okay, well, she closes the door behind her and sort of crouches down. the voice does make her uneasy, but literally everything about this makes her uneasy, so. ]
So you're Master Blue, then? You're... not what I was expecting.
[ HA... HA. there's a long pause as she visibly struggles with something, and then: ]
... Yeah. [ she just goes ahead and sits, now, back against the door. ] I did. I do. But I'm not really sure you have any control over what I was gonna ask you. I'd still like to talk to you for a bit, though.
I would not have let you sacrifice yourself anyway. Pointless. [They aren't even saying it to be mean, but rather they think it's...comforting, somehow.]
[ aw, that's nice though. she sort of smiles, just a little. caught, huh. ]
Cool. [ she says, tilting her head. ] Have you talked to anybody else here? Like face to face. I kind of got the impression from your notes and stuff that you're a loner.
Would people believe you? [That's not really a yes or no either, so it seems that's up to Beau. They pause again.] Your progress working with others. Learning. Doing. You have come far.
Yeah, I guess so. [ she watches them for a moment. ] I care a fucking lot about all of them. I'm scared for them, you know? I want them to be safe. And I don't know what to do next. Everybody's telling me I've got the answers right in front of me and I'm just - blind. I wanna save them.
[ she picks at her bandaged ankle. ] What did you mean by looking inside the heart?
[ she just goes ahead and sprawls out on the floor, don't mind her, blue. ]
So the house has to be fucking us over, right? You said the house wasn't exactly feeding on us. But I don't think you brought us here to murder each other either, not... maliciously, like - I don't know if you made the rule that we have to kill a monster every week, but even if you did, I feel like it wasn't for fun, it was for a purpose.
A-Sang and I think it's the house needing either misery, or resentful energy, to exist. So it makes us try to kill each other, so it can keep eating.
... You have a lot of ghosts in your house, dude, I don't know if you know.
[Goodbye. That's such a whole-ass mood though. Don't mind them almost dramatically mimicking her as they sprawl on the floor, too.]
I am aware. They are very persistent. Pumpkin takes care of them. [Hm..] The house does not need anything. It simply wants.
[Percy voice: The house is an asshole.] Killing a monster a week or those with the potential to transform keeps you all safe. The house is satisfied. You are given more time. More time is allowed for more answers to win.
[ beau likes blue almost immediately, especially because they're now all sprawled. that's the best. ]
We're given more time. Percy kept saying... [ she trails off, rubbing at her face. ] The house is satisfied. Fuck. Okay, so - we need to find out how the house is transforming us then, right? Do you know how it's doing that, or is that something we need to look for? By looking for the heart of the house, maybe.
[ she has so many questions. she's looking at the flower in master blue's... eye? she's just looking at them kind of worriedly when she says: ] Is the house hurting you?
[Blue seems to be nodding along. Yes, yes more time. The house is satisfied. This house sucks.]
Yes. [That's an answer to "yes you need to find out, yes I know and yes you need to look for."] The house is clever. The house sees everything as I've seen everything.
I do not know how it is happening. Just like I did not understand how the dreams started until it was too late. Or the trances. Or the manipulation of powers. [Mildly. The house is basically doing things as it wants to do them, it seems, and Blue is just Exasperated. But to answer her other question.]
The house is me, and I am the house. [It's more complicated than that, but they seem to be starting small.]
So like - it's kind of an extension of you. Or you're an extension of it? How much control do you have over stuff, like - I got the implication that you wrote the rules, but. Do you unlock the floors every week? The house is making us see crazy shit, like huge wars that aren't there, and morgues full of dead bodies that don't exist anymore.
No. [Not quite.] The house is its own, and I am my own, but we are together. [They look a little annoyed they can't really explain it, so then...] The house and I tied together.
[Tied up in house business....haha.]
The house likes to play with the guests. We have tried to help stop the damage. The house does not like when people get too close to discovering things.
I bet it doesn't. [ she grumbles. she has a lot of questions and thoughts, but she's taking it slow, one at a time - she doesn't want to overwhelm them. ] If we actually do sort all this out, are you going to be okay? The goal is to free everybody. Including you and the girls.

Peach said you wished to speak. [Like. Weeks ago.]
no subject

Cool. [ she says, tilting her head. ] Have you talked to anybody else here? Like face to face. I kind of got the impression from your notes and stuff that you're a loner.

Today. Very few, only those who wish to truly help. [...they gesture with a hand.] Your progress has been noted.
[Master Blue sees everything.]
no subject
Yeah. I really, really want to help. Do you want me to not tell people I talked to you? [ progress has been noted. huh. ] What do you mean, progress?
no subject
no subject
Yeah, I guess so. [ she watches them for a moment. ] I care a fucking lot about all of them. I'm scared for them, you know? I want them to be safe. And I don't know what to do next. Everybody's telling me I've got the answers right in front of me and I'm just - blind. I wanna save them.
[ she picks at her bandaged ankle. ] What did you mean by looking inside the heart?
no subject
Precisely what I said. Look inside the heart to understand everything. [...then, curiously:] What do you understand so far?
no subject

no subject
To be truly free, we must be separated. ["We" being them and the house.] Without the separation, things may not go as you plan.
