week 0, monday

[cluedin]

[ 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

[kazokun]

[ 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. ]

-—Plum, right? You actually came.

[cluedin]

[ it's the image because it is ayabe u_u

plum does a little curtsy when the door opens, as usual ]</small. Of course, sir. You rang for me.

[kazokun]

[ Ayabe stands aside so she can enter and closes the door behind them. ]

So that's how we call for you, those bells? There was something I wanted to talk about, but first—

[ 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?

[cluedin]

[ she stands primly in the middle of the room. what is she gonna do, sit? that is improper. she looks curiously at the bell. hmmm ]

That bell... I would not ring it unless you were absolutely certain someone would answer, sir.

( week 0 ) monday

[cluedin]

[ 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 ]

[kazokun]

[ 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. ]

[cluedin]

[ 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... ]

Hiiiiiii.

[kazokun]

[ There was no reaction to the room.

He tries again, gesturing to the bed all nicely made and free of lint and everything. ]

Do you want to take a seat? Plum wouldn't.

[cluedin]

[ even though he gestures to the bed, she immediately lounges on the chaise, plopping onto it with a light "oof." ]

Sooo... what's the occasion?

W0, THURSDAY

[cluedin]

[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!!!]

opens my arms!!!

[kazokun]

[ 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. ]

[cluedin]

[Ayabe!!!

Peach will just. Knock louder? And if he still ignores her she'll open the door and poke her head in.]

You rang, sir?

[kazokun]

[ 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?

[cluedin]

[She's reading it before she just hands it back and pulls out a small notepad and a pink crayon! She can accommodate, it's fine.]

nope, we're fine!
but we've heard about everyone else :(
did this start for you on monday too?

W2, TUESDAY

[cluedin]

[Ayabe rings the pink bell, and while he's facing the rules he'll hear Peach bounding up behind him with a soft jingle of the bell around her neck.]

You rang, sir?

[kazokun]

[ 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. ]

[cluedin]

[Why the fuck. Well the nice thing is her eyes widen and she looks very pleased. She has not realized this is a bribe yet.]

The whole thing? Are you sure? [There's a brief whisper about rainbow colors but it's mostly to herself.]

[kazokun]

[ Sometimes you're at the end of your rope and so you must resort to bribes. ]

Yeah, the whole thing. You can share with your sisters, if you want. Are you guys doing okay? Sleeping well?

[ Do they sleep ]

[cluedin]

I think we're doing okay. [Zero answer about sleeping, that's a fun mystery!] Nobody's destroyed the house yet so that's better than usual.

w4; monday

[cluedin]

[ plum shows up as promptly as usual! but... she doesn't quite step into the room when she sees which one it is, simply peering in ]

Hello, sir. Do you need help getting out?

[ she looks like she'd rather die than go in. ]

[kazokun]

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 ]

[cluedin]

[ she looks sent ]

... The blood room...

[ it's said quietly because she hates this. ]

[kazokun]

...The blood room...

[ Ayabe repeats quietly, because he also hates this. ]

Why do you guys have a blood room.

[cluedin]

If I knew, perhaps I'd have found a way to get rid of it, sir.

[ if she could set the room on fire with her eyes she would ]
