I have my favorites. That said, Fujishima-san wasn't in the guitar case when I received it. Sugita-san and Makimura-san too.

[ Where are his other children, Plum ): ]

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

And what items are those?

[kazokun]

[ I'm at the point where I can slap down whatever votes because what does Ayabe even have to regain? Fujishima-san. ]

Fujishima-san is my broomstick. Sugita-san is a dust pan, and Makimura-san is a dust cloth. Sugita-san is getting old, though... I don't want to be too hard on him and continue using him, but at the same time, he can't be replaced [ in Ayabe's heart ] so easily... What do you think I should do? Is it time for retirement?

[ This is all canon, I can't make this shit up ]

[cluedin]

[ this is sending her. she's standing in a room full of blood with a boy who is asking if he should retire his dust pan. ]

I wouldn't think of it as a replacement, sir. Your dust pan... ah, Sugita-san, is simply due for a break. It [ ...fuck ] He has served you well until now. I'm sure he would not want you to continue to use him if he could no longer do his job properly.

[kazokun]

[ Plum is the only one who can understand(?) and so she is now his confidant. ]

I see. That's a good way to put it... I don't want to strain him, and he would want the job to be done well too.

[ Ayabe will just be sad to let Sugita-san go... but he deserves his rest.

When I first requested this PC, there was a 50-50 chance depending on what Plum's first tag looked like, that Ayabe either 1) asked her about the blood room, or 2) shanked her without question. Somehow, we derailed into this. ]

[cluedin]

[ can i go back to ayabe shanking her instead :/ ]

Exactly. You both want the same thing. You and your... Sugita-san.

[ how did she end up here. ]

[kazokun]

That's right. To make the world a cleaner place.

[ He says, standing in the middle of the blood room. He picks up a scrub brush and gets to work, because this blood isn't going to remove itself, Plum. ]

Ash said that when he looked through his stone... thing. That the walls were bleeding. If you don't know what the room is for, do you at least know what happened here?

[cluedin]

[ she hums a bit and gets to work scrubbing blood that wont come off ig :T ]

I do not know if it is so much what has happened here, specifically, as it is what has happened in this house in general.

[kazokun]

[ WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ]

The murders in this place? Does this room reflect that? Or...

[ Somehow gather up all the blood spilled and feature them here?? help he doesn't understand supernatural rooms ]

[cluedin]

Perhaps. Guests have used this room to attempt to summon things before, as well. It may be a mix of things.

[ guests be weird. ]

[kazokun]

"Summon things"??

[ GUESTS, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS

TEEJ WENT TO TELL ME IN A PC THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DRAWING BLOOD CIRCLES THIS WEEK AND NOW I KNOW IT'S PLUM'S FAULT ]

[cluedin]

Yes. I know you will not attempt it, sir, so I feel it is safe to tell you. Although I am unsure if it has ever worked.

[ don't blame her for this!! ]

[kazokun]

[ He is not stupid, and he also lost a lot of blood the day prior that he needs to regenerate, so —he should not have been running around screaming all of Monday, for one, but also no he would not summon anything ]

So........... what are they trying to summon? Nothing good.

[cluedin]

[ someone give ayabe some cookies and some orange juice. ]

Oh, many things. Ghosts. Demons. Departed friends. This room seems to attract terrible decision making skills.

[ :/ ]

[kazokun]

Demon summoning and murder. How will any of that help? Stupid.

[ With so many blood rituals, of course there's so much blood! Stupid!

He points to the weird writing spots on the ground. ]

Is this part of that, do you know? Some sort of incantation?

[cluedin]

In desperate situations, people will try anything, sometimes.

[ i mean, she doesn't agree with it, but, y'know. she squints at the writing ]

It might have been, at one point...? I can't tell exactly what it says anymore.

[kazokun]

Can you tell what language? Maybe it's somebody's name?

[ A dying message!! why has nobody written a dying message telling them who the monster is and save them nine hours of grief ]

Or just terrible handwriting.

[cluedin]

[ they spend nine hours pondering if that's really the name or if it's someone being framed ]

Hmmm... It is either a very ancient language ... or terrible graffiti.

[kazokun]

[ We'll know nothing at the end of nine hours and vote for the scapegoat, it all works out. ]

Ugh... I can't believe the house has become like this. It was nice, when we only knew the first two floors.

[ And then things got weird. ]

Is this place really Blue's home, Plum? The labs, and that hospital room, did he really make his home like this? Or did the house change after he started having guests over?

[cluedin]

Yes... that is usually how spending time in this house goes.

[ she doesn't explain that, but at his question she hums a bit, staring at her work on the gross blood floor ]

The Master did not build the house, if that is what you are asking.

[kazokun]

[ People stay here and it gets more and more fucked up? why ]

Hm... But it's his home. [ On the fifth floor, to boot. On the blood room floor. ]

Was he not the original owner of the house? Do you know who lived here before?

[cluedin]

I am not certain who might have lived here before the Master came along. It was well before my time, sir.

[kazokun]

That was, what, a couple thousand years ago? When you first came here, was it just the three of you and Blue? Do you know somebody named "Blueberry"? I'm not sure that's their real name, though. Ken met them last week as a ghost in one of the rooms.

[ A break-in room where they almost killed him, but Ayabe doesn't know any of the details further than that. ]

[cluedin]

Ah. Yes. I have heard of that.

[ she looks so ... annoyed. ]

I do not know anyone named Blueberry, ghost or otherwise.

[kazokun]

[ There was a brief moment where I thought Blueberry was the skeleton in the lake and was convinced there was a fourth sister, but no, that was just discord chat shitposting and this is why I always give up following game plot, what is the truth, I don't know ]

It might not be their name, but... it looks like you know who I'm talking about. So was it just you three and Blue when you first arrived?
