[She's expecting this, actually, so when she approaches Lio's room she still gives a polite knock! But after that, she opens the door just a tiiiiny bit, still keeping her head out of the room.]
...am I allowed to come in? [Listen. Privacy is important for couples.]
[SOMETIMES YOU COULD WANT PRIVATE CUDDLING? Look. Anyway she enters the room and she's grinning at both of them, shutting the door behind her as she leans against it.]
We weren't sure if we could arrange it in time, but...I'm glad it worked. Sorry you couldn't keep it though. [She's looking both of them over.] How are you guys...?
[Um, well, honestly Lio thinks he should be more fucked up feeling right now. I mean, he did just kill his Dad like three days ago. But right now, for at least a few hours, he just feels . . . kinda happy? Galo is alive. He's alive.]
I am fine.
[But also, like, smiling. Just a little. I doubt Peach has ever seen this expression on his face.]
[Listen she's been wearing the beanie Plum made her in all of her other PCs but specifically chose not to for these two. No reminders of dad-killing. Nevertheless, she's actually a little pleased to see that they're okay and happy. It's sweet.]
I promise if you get it right we'll figure something out. But...I'm glad. I was hoping Miss 45 was going to help you after she learned what the feather does. Even without Phoenix...well, I doubt he would be unhappy with these results.
[Yeah, OTHER UNNAMED PEOPLE have showed up in beanies, and it's . . . been a little tough to see it. But it's alright. Lio's face falls a bit when Phoenix gets mentioned, because. Well, she can say that. But. Hm.]
We will do our best to continue his work.
[A pause.]
Because I was not cured in the same way as Hunter, am I going to be immune in the same way?
Yeah. Phoenix was a really good guy, and he cared about finding the monsters for the right reasons. I think he'd be happy with how things turned out, too.
[Don't be sad, Lio.]
Could you tell us a little more about how Phoenix's role worked?
[There's a nod to all of that before she figures out how to reply to those two very important questions.]
The feather was a gift from Master Blue in lieu of an antidote while we work on that. Unfortunately we don't have enough for everyone, but...because you technically died and Galo purged the monster from you, you're now immune, yeah. You're safe.
[Which is comforting in a way.] ...Nick was helping us try to find who the possessed would be each week. He had the chance to check one person he thought might be at risk and learn if they were safe or not. Outside of that, he could send anonymous notes to guests around the house. Only one though. So a lot of the messages depended on you guys sharing what you've learned.
[I am going to assume, at some point, Lio managed to go grab Phoenix's notes and let Galo read them too. For the sake of sanity about these questions. Lio nods. He'll circle back around to other questions about that, because he has some, but lets get the Phoenix stuff out of the way.]
Only one? There were always two people mentioned in the notes. So does that mean there is another person out there who can check?
[Well she literally has nothing to do since they called her here so they have time. But she's going to look at Lio first and then at Galo.]
...technically Lio submitted a correct vote and was properly rewarded. The Master believes in being fair. [Like. There's that.] Are there? I didn't think Phoenix was using the royal we.
I believe certain notes come from Mammon. Beau believes so, anyway. Will Phoenix be able to continue his job . . . wherever he is? Or will we have to rely on the remaining detective?
Phoenix, unfortunately, won't be able to do his job the way he was doing it before. [She wrinkles her nose in thought.] What makes you think they came from Mammon though?
[But there's a pause.] The luminol was because Luna asked us and explained what she was going to try. And so we allowed it. Sometimes you guys ask us for things that might benefit the house and we get permission to provide.
...oh. You mean the one she got on Friday? [She blinks curiously.] Some of your friends on the other side are sending messages when they can. And with two people...some people know how to use their items and rewards really smartly.
[There's a nod. Too bad neither of them have healing items, huh?]
I don't think a motorcycle would really help heal your leg, you know. [She seems amused though. Give her time to think.] ...would crutches suffice? We don't really have a wheelchair or anything. I think we were letting Asch use a wheelbarrow.
I'm not sure a wheelbarrow will-- [He trails off, because what the fuck does he even know. Looking at Galo?] Is there anything I can do? To get some sort of item?
An elevator might be a little much...[But she's thinking.] Let me see what I can do, and I'll deliver to this room whenever it's ready. It...may be uncomfortable, but it's a solution.
[...but she frowns a little at the question.] I'm alright. Thank you for asking. [It almost sounds like an automated response because she's immediately just focusing back on the two of them.] But I think the focus should be on making sure you guys are okay.

THEY AREN'T BANGING
GALO IS LIKE HALF DEAD IM WHEEZING
Lio is just sitting next to him on the bed, doing his best Nurse impression, sitting up straighter when she comes in.]
Yes. Hello, Peach.
no subject
[He looks rough, but he's smiling very big when he sees her.]
Thank you for my matoi tech! I couldn't have done it without you!
no subject
We weren't sure if we could arrange it in time, but...I'm glad it worked. Sorry you couldn't keep it though. [She's looking both of them over.] How are you guys...?
no subject
I am fine.
[But also, like, smiling. Just a little. I doubt Peach has ever seen this expression on his face.]
no subject
[Yeah. They still live in a murder house, but he didn't lose Lio. He kept his promises.
Anyway, they would cuddle in public, Peach. They have so few boundaries.]
Just keep it safe for me! One of these days, I'll get the vote right, and then I want my matoi back!

Peach, did you know that Lio got some of his fire powers back? Is that related to him being immune?
no subject
...technically Lio submitted a correct vote and was properly rewarded. The Master believes in being fair. [Like. There's that.] Are there? I didn't think Phoenix was using the royal we.
no subject
Looking at Galo.]
I voted for Chuuya.
[YIKES, SCOOB.]
I believe certain notes come from Mammon. Beau believes so, anyway. Will Phoenix be able to continue his job . . . wherever he is? Or will we have to rely on the remaining detective?
no subject
[Lio, he's lost! No one includes in the plot because he's very dumb!
Lio voting for Chuuya, at least, makes some sense.]
Are there any special people besides the guys sending notes? Like - you gave luminol to Luna, right? And that was for a special reason.
no subject
[But there's a pause.] The luminol was because Luna asked us and explained what she was going to try. And so we allowed it. Sometimes you guys ask us for things that might benefit the house and we get permission to provide.
no subject
Ah-- the notes like the one Beau got. The drawings in Blue, this week, the one that warned us about not killing.
no subject

Alright. We will think of how to use our rewards more astutely.
[Anyway . . . ]
Is there anything we can do for Galo? At least his leg. He won't be able to move around easily.
[and this house is not particularly accessible. And Galo has Always Dumb and Hot Disorder. He's going to go bananas sitting still for days.]
no subject
[Galo. In this house? Down the stairs?]
You could get a motorcycle stair ramp.
no subject
I don't think a motorcycle would really help heal your leg, you know. [She seems amused though. Give her time to think.] ...would crutches suffice? We don't really have a wheelchair or anything. I think we were letting Asch use a wheelbarrow.

[He's eager to get out of bed! Already! He's going to die in here.]
So - how are you doing, Peach?

[...but she frowns a little at the question.] I'm alright. Thank you for asking. [It almost sounds like an automated response because she's immediately just focusing back on the two of them.] But I think the focus should be on making sure you guys are okay.
