[ there is a slow, surprised blink. well. someone has fancy taste in broomsticks?? but incredibly, she knows what that is, apparently!!! ]

... Of course, sir. I shall bring it here later. Will one suffice?

[kazokun]

Can I have more than one?

[ What is the max number of broomsticks he can hoard under the bed. ]

And a dust cloth, and a dust pan, and a bucket...

[ He just starts rattling off cleaning supplies. Please, Plum, they're comfort objects. He carries them around with him everywhere. ]

[cluedin]

[ oh... my god... ]

I can provide you those specific objects and two broomsticks, sir, but as these are coming out of my own personal supply, I would appreciate it if you did not keep rattling off new ones.

[ like, she offered, but she has regretti? ]

[kazokun]

[ She's here to serve the guests, right... But Ayabe looks happy enough with that much— he was happy to get even just the one Wakayama broom— so he stops himself from asking for anything more.

Except.

Just one more. ]

I appreciate all this. I think I'll be okay if I had this much... One last thing, do you have something I could carry them around in? I used to use a guitar case, that's why I wanted mine back.

[ It doesn't have to be his guitar case, though he'd love that back for other reasons. Just something to carry everything with him so he's not. You know. lugging around two broomsticks and a bucket and a dust cloth and pan everywhere. ]

[cluedin]

[ she tilts her head in thought. she seems to be considering what could potentially hold all of this that isn't a, apparently, giant guitar case with no guitar in it... ]

...We do have wagons.

[kazokun]

[ Somehow, his is a normal sized guitar case. But he also does have a collapsible broom he hides inside a secret compartment of a book later in canon. He makes it work. ]

Is there anything else...

[cluedin]

I'm afraid not at the moment, sir. Perhaps I will add it to the list of supplies. Would you like the wagon in the meantime?

[kazokun]

[ He really does not! But.

hhhhhh ]

Yeah, I'll take the wagon.

[cluedin]

Of course. A moment, please.

[ she leaves the room briskly ...

and comes back maybe two minutes later with all his the cleaning supplies he has requested!

inthis wagon. it's. it's cleaner than that, but it looks exactly like that. ]

Here you are, sir.

[kazokun]

[ I hope this wagon will only be used for wholesome things like carting around Missile and not dead bodies. ]

Thanks, Plum. That was fast. Where did you get all this? Was there a supply closet down the hall?

[ Not saying it like he would raid it! but maybe he would raid it. if necessary. just to snoop around to see what else there is, it's going to be the only place he feels like he's at home. ]

[cluedin]

[ well, it's his wagon now, so ... it is ayabe's choice what he wishes to do with it,

but plum shakes her head ]

In houses such as these, there are ways for servants to get around quicker, sir.

[ ... so where did she go ]

[kazokun]

And they're for servants only, not for guests?

[ He's thinking secret passages and dusty crawlspaces, but maybe they're not dusty if the housekeeper uses it. If it is dusty, he could make it spotless! Just let him in on it. Make him an honorary housekeeper. ]

[cluedin]

[ you need your social link to be higher than that for her to take you on as an apprentice, fool ]

Yes. We wouldn't want the Master's guests to get lost or locked in places they shouldn't be.

[kazokun]

[ WOW he's already practically housekeeper at his dorm, life experience as a housekeeper, he doesn't need apprenticeship ]

Locked up in places they shouldn't be. Like this house.

[ rattles the doors, let him out!!!! ]

I mentioned this to Peach, but did you guys ever get he chance to look at the front door?

[cluedin]

[ she's 5k+ years old and he is baby, he needs an apprenticeship :/ ]

The doors are currently locked as the yard is not ready for guests, sir.

[kazokun]

[ There was confetti everywhere all weekend, who's the one who needs an apprenticeship /: ]

Can't we just close our eyes and walk out through the gates if you're embarrassed by the state of the yard?

[ Like, he gets it. He doesn't want to show guests a messy house either. ]

[cluedin]

[ it was a party!!!

she just stares ]

I would never give Pumpkin the opportunity to get away with neglecting her work.

[kazokun]

[ He almost faceplanted in glass!!! ]

You guys were making it sound like she's been doing just that for the past...

[ Gestures in the air. 5000+ years. ]

[cluedin]

[ there's a beat as she considers that ]

I would never let Pumpkin get away with neglecting her work entirely.

[ amended. ]

[kazokun]

[ Entirely, aka if she does this one job, it'll be the first thing she's done in 5000+ years. ]

Does she not like groundskeeping? Maybe if you switch jobs around... or you can help her, and I'll help out with some of your duties.

[ Let him clean ]

I have siblings too and— well, I do basically everything. But how it's supposed to be is that chores are divided into what each person is capable of doing and is good at doing. Pumpkin's doesn't seem to be groundskeeping.

[cluedin]

[ there is a light frown ]

My sister may not be a hard worker, sir, but she is quite good at her job when she applies herself.

[



when ]

[kazokun]

[ ...He looks over his shoulder at the balcony that overlooks the grounds he can't go out into. When. ]

If it doesn't spoil anything, just what's out there that can be left alone without needing to be tended to? Though I suppose it's winter...

[cluedin]

[ someday, ayabe!!! someday!!!! ]

I would hope she has not left anything alone at this time, sir, even if it is winter. We do not wish to keep the Master's guests cooped up for the entire length of their stay.

[ so pumpkin is... theoretically... preparing the yard ]

[kazokun]

[ It's been four days and it already feels like it's been four weeks, when will they be free ]

I hope so too. Is she in the middle of something right now, or can I talk to her? Can I ask you to pass along the message or do I ring the bell?

[ do I request a new audience, how many pcs can I have a week ]

[cluedin]

If you have any requests, messages or questions for a specific staff member, it is always better to address us directly. Pumpkin will answer her bell the same as Peach or myself.

[ there's an implied "or else" there, but. you can absolutely request a new audience with andie, and should, ]
