[ If Plum is surprised to be summoned next to the lake, she doesn't show it, though she does tilt her head when she notices both Asch and Ayabe waiting for her there. Hm... ]
[Asch is standing here, stoically, silently beside Ayabe, arms crossed. He looks like he has a lot of things heād like, but for once, heās leaving the talking to Ayabe.]
Ayabe tries very hard not to look at Asch in case he takes it as a sign to toss Plum in the lake for saying it's because of aesthetics, jfc, Ayabe is this close to picking her up himself ]
There's something living in there, and people are going to fall in on accident whether it's chasing after a lost limb or because they don't know how to walk straight. Is there a way to place a fence around the area to prevent that?
[ there's a raised eyebrow at asch's blatant manipulation but she brushes her skirt off of individual dirt ]
I do not believe a fence would be enough to keep most guests out of the water, sirs, [ because you are all stupid, she doesn't say, only loudly thinks, ] though that has not been our only issue with a fence. Would you like me to demonstrate?
[ She doesn't need to say, because they all already know. We're all stupid. But the fence should help with some of the guestsā the less stupid ones, as it were, the ones that can still be saved. Everybody else is a lost cause. ]
You've tried before? Sure, go ahead and show us what you mean.
The creatures of the lake will not interact with guests unless they dive into the water and come too close. They will, however, become aggressive towards any barrier we put up. Unfortunately, since they cannot read, any attempts to put up a sign has been met with a similar issue.
You made wall and rooms that can't be destroyed to leave the manor, or even the room. Why is it here, where protecting the "guests" from the things within the manor becomes tantamount, do your skills fall flat?
My sisters and I did not build this house, sirs. [ first of all. bitch yourself!!! ] And I find it difficult to believe that even guests of your caliber can't stop yourselves from diving into the deep and interacting with the creatures to the point where they would retaliate.
[ she looks at asch blankly. it does sound funny actually. she does not say it. ]
... Then I can only suggest these people steer clear of the lake. We have provided boats should you wish to visit the gun room or the crypt, but there is not much to see in either of those rooms. The kitchen has a direct entrance to the wine cellar, and the laundry room is a fair distance away from the water.
I'm not certain. The crypt and those skulls have been there longer than my sisters and I. I have never thought to ask the Master if they held any particular significance.
[ There's some sort of ...profanity... on the tip of Ayabe's tongue that he would love if Plum would tell Blue, but he doubts any of their requests are being delivered in the first place and he's just wasting his breath, so he shakes his head and takes a step back. That's it from him. For now. ]

Good day, sirs. Was there something you needed?

[ THE CRYPT, PLUM
Fence around the lake is important, but while Plum is here, he also wants to ask about the crypt, why is there a crypt ]

But sadly, Ayabe doesn't look towards him. SOON..........
Asch nods along when his partner mentions what they're here for, however.]
I thought you said you care about your guests. I'm surprised you have a balustrade upstairs, but no fence down here.

[ she leaves... and when she comes back not too long after she has a baby gate, of all things? she deposits it next to the lake ]
Please stand back, sirs.
[ she sure is even if they aren't anyway! she will stand there and wait patiently ...
about a minute after the baby gate has been put up, a giant tentacle comes and slams it into the wall next to them. plum does not flinch. ]

It's that thing! That almost killed them!! ]
That thing almost killed us; don't you have anything stronger?

Asch's fingers twitch where they're on his crossed arms. Holy shit!!!!!!!]
We have children here.

We just want to prevent any accidents from happening, Plum. Sometimes people fall in. Sometimes they can't swim.
[ Sometimes your leg goes rogue and kicks somebody else in, but he is not telling Asch that. ]

Ayabe looks at Asch. He's dead tomorrow, let him throw Plum into the lake. As a treat. ]

What part of that screams "trustworthy employer"? The human hunter part, or the skull collector part? Both, perhaps?

[ in the patient tone of someone who assumes the person they are talking to just doesn't understand what crypts are, ]
no subject
It's out of the ordinary for a crypt to be found underneath a house, though, isn't it? [ It's creepy, that's what it is. ]
There's a graveyard on the grounds, so why have a crypt? Unless this is where members of Master Blue's family lies?
[ And if that's the reason, having a skull just on display would be even more disrespectful. ]
no subject
[Asch and Ayabe are on THE SAME PAGE WITH THIS. Disrespectful!!!!]
Get rid of it. The only aesthetic it brings is misery, which this idiot mansion already has plenty of.
no subject
[ but she does not answer their question about blue's family??? ]
I can pass on your request to Master Blue, if that is truly what you wish.
no subject
Yeah, if you could tell Master Blue, that'd be great. And while you're at it, please tell him to let us go home.
[ The second request is more important that the first. PLEASE PLUM. ]
