[ It doesn't take long at all after Ayabe rings for there to be a short, polite knock at his door! It would be rude to just barge into a bedroom, after all. ]
WHY IS THAT THE IMAGE i'm laughing that's ayabe yeah
[ Oh. Ken and Dazai have their own keys, and nobody else in this godforsaken place is polite enough to knock before entering, so Ayabe gets off the bed to answer the door. ]
[ when ayabe rings the orange bell, he might notice the response from this sister isn't as abrupt as plum, but there is eventually a knock at his door nonetheless. fbi open up ]
[ He expected that, really, even though the time gap has him sitting on the edge of his bed anxiously waiting for the door so he can spring to his feet and open it. Which he does with more excitement than he's shown in a good while. ]
Welcome!
[ HE SOUND LIKE MISSILE but look, the room is so clean everything sparkles, look, Pumpkin, look at this. It's so clean. ]
[ opening the door reveals a sleepy-looking fox girl! the bags under her eyes are somehow a little more pronounced without a screen lighting up her face... ]
[Ayabe rings the pink bell and soon there's the jingling of another bell as Peach approaches the door and knocks. It's impolite just to enter a guest's bedroom, after all!!!]
[ while Ayabe is the rude guest who continues just sitting on his bed staring at the box on his lap, because he can't hear for shit and doesn't know Peach is here already, the knocking and the jingling do nothing for him. ]
[ At least he had the foresight to keep the door unlocked, looking up at the motion rather than Peach's voice. His notebook is just about filled out at this point, but he has a couple of pages left and a message preemptively written on it when he passes it and a pen over to her. ]
I can't hear anything. Everybody else has been having problems too. Did anything happen to you and/or your sisters?
[ He starts and whips around, not expecting her to be here so quickly. What would it take for him to get into those secret passages around this place... ]
Peach. Yeah, here, this is for you-
[ In his arms is a small cake, about a foot in diameter. It's funfetti! It's also a blatant bribe. ]
Out of this hellhole? Yeah! Plum, what the hell is this room?! What's this even supposed to be??
[ gestures at! everything!! scrub brushes and a mop and two buckets of water with towels inside all around the room, the ground wet with water and soap and possibly also tears ]

-āPlum, right? You actually came.
no subject
plum does a little curtsy when the door opens, as usual ]</small. Of course, sir. You rang for me.
no subject
So that's how we call for you, those bells? There was something I wanted to talk about, but firstā
[ He walks over to the bed where he'd left his box, and brings it over to show Plum. ]
The blue one looks like it's about to break. Is there a way to fix it?
no subject
That bell... I would not ring it unless you were absolutely certain someone would answer, sir.

Hello, sir. Do you need help getting out?
