[stormsoff]

Are you talking about everything else that happened over the past like two days or whatever or have past guests also been this crazy.

[cluedin]

Both, sir. The Master's taste in guests is... sometimes questionable.

[stormsoff]

.... you’ve had kind of a tough time of it, huh. [ trying not to laugh. ]

[cluedin]

Of course not, sir. It is always a pleasure to serve the Master's guests. No matter how... unusual... they may be.

[ this sounds believable ]

[stormsoff]

[ coughs, which may be a laugh but totally isn't what're you talking about ]

Well, if you can't, then I'll call 'em freaks for you. ... cuz they are.

... I'll, uh, do my best not to destroy any other rooms, by the way.

[cluedin]

Thank you, sir. It is much appreciated.

[ which sentiment? yes ]

[stormsoff]

[ ... okay, now he actually does laugh. ]

It's good to see you, Plum. [ he seems quite earnest. ] Haha, I was kinda worried you wouldn't want to be friends anymore, after...

[ ... gestures ... at the room ]

[cluedin]

Please do not keep reminding me of the previous state of the room, sir.

[ SHE HAS LIMITS ]

[stormsoff]

[ DHGLJSHGKJDHS SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE PLUM

anyway isaac slaps his hands over his face

which jars his shoulder because he's an idiot

so while he's trying not to fucking die ]

S-Sorry!

[cluedin]

[ oh my god. how is isaac such a loser. it's sending her. ]

It's fine, sir. Please try not to injure yourself on my behalf.

[stormsoff]

R-Right... you got it.

[ He'll, uh, adjust his arm so he can get it back in the sling where it belongs. ]

S-So, uh... hey, Plum, what do you do for fun?

[ nice subject change you goober ]

[cluedin]

[ he nailed it. she pauses and stares at him ]

For... fun, sir?

[ yes plum. that's what he said. ]

[stormsoff]

Yeah! Like... I don't know, games, or maybe reading a book or something? There's gotta be something you do to relax.

[cluedin]

I don't often get the chance to.

[ just. pointing that out casually. ]

I suppose I do enjoy reading and music, sir.

[stormsoff]

Really? Guess that's fair... Master Blue keeps you that busy with us guests, huh?

[ he'll nod, and smile ]

Well, what sorta books do you like? Music too! Maybe we have something in common.

[cluedin]

It is not a small house even without guests, sir. [ there's a pause as she considers ] ... I prefer to play music myself, but I do enjoy science fiction novels.

[stormsoff]

Haha, okay, that's fair. Anyway, you play music? That's pretty cool. Does that mean you play an instrument?

[ sci-fi is actually ... like, really surprising somehow, coming from plum? you'd kind of expect her to, like, read a 200 year old encyclopedia for fun or something. so that's getting filed away for future questioning. ]

[cluedin]

A few, yes. I played piano for the guests earlier. I can also play the violin, the pipe organ, and the ukulele.

[ one of these things is not like the others, one of these things is not the same ]

[stormsoff]

Wait! You can play ....................................... the pipe organ?!

[ is that the odd one out, isaac ]

[cluedin]

Yes. Master Blue sometimes likes to be accompanied by appropriate music to suit the Master's mood.

[



is blue the phantom of the opera now ]

[stormsoff]

... is ... is Master Blue the villain in a gothic horror movie from the 1920's? [ HONESTLY ]

[cluedin]

Of course not, sir.

[ she actually looks offended at the idea?? ]

[stormsoff]

Look all I'm saying is there's something a little Gothic horror-y about a mysterious person who likes to walk out to pipe organ music. I guess Master Blue could be the hero of the movie too. Pipe organ soundtracks probably didn't discriminate?

[ he has no idea what he's talking about

the 1920's were a (shockingly accurate thanks google) guess ]

[cluedin]

There is nothing Gothic horror-y about the pipe organ, sir.

[ she says nothing about master blue. ]

[stormsoff]

Oh isn't there? I mean I kinda thought there was but like

[ ... ]

I don't have much exposure to pipe organs or anything.

[ we know, isaac. ]
