It's important because it could be a key to - getting us out of here, or giving us just a little bit more time, you know? I get secrecy, but we can't afford it right now.
[ secrets are hard when that's your whole-ass job, uncovering secrets. which is funny that she got this new job. ]
... It makes sense, yeah. I'm just not sure what I've learned is helpful. [ she scrubs her face. ] There's gotta be something. I'm overlooking something.
[ she's just gonna go get her notes and bring them back to the bed! ]
You still have a few more days before anything will happen. [She's not stupid enough to think the house won't retaliate, and now that Beau knows they check each week...it's inevitable. But Beau retrieves her notes and Peach perches on the bed tentatively next to her to look over her shoulder.]
[ she flips through her notes - they include phoenix's, which she's painstakingly copied to her own notebook. ]
The house cheats. There's misdirection going everywhere - the shit going down with the motives is the house trying to trick us into killing each other. If we're strong enough, we'll see the truth, is what Percy said. There's clues in the stuff we've found... maybe I should look at the notes in black again? [ still flicking through. she's kind of just talking, running through all of it. ]
Hunter and Lio are safe from the Oddity. But I'm not, I don't think, because I haven't ever transformed, so I could still be at risk. The House might try to use me and the others to stop us from getting close. But we can see the whole house, and - we can't just destroy the source first, right? We have to separate Blue from the house, or not everything is gonna go to plan.
[She'll let Beau review her notes and she doesn't shy away, reading over everything and occasionally humming in agreement to certain things.]
That's the basic summary, yeah. [...] Percy tried really hard while he was alive, so that doesn't surprise me much either. The house doesn't want to let you guys go no matter what. Everyone except Hunter and Lio are safe from transforming again, but they aren't safe from other tricks the house will try to pull. And Master Blue...knows that separation is what we have to do, but they have considered an alternative. It's not something we want to pursue though despite what they think.
...when you think of cheaters, what kind of traits come to mind?
The Master...has considered it. [And she doesn't like it?? So no??] But it's a last result.
I think of arrogance, too, when I think of people who cheat. Like people who are so sure they won't be caught, right? They're fooling you right in front of your eyes and you don't even know it.

[ a pause. ] Selfish. Motivated. Greedy. Maybe a touch arrogant.

...the heart's a little like that, I think.
