[ 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?
[ Oh, that makes it easier. He pats the bed so she can sit down next to him and read side by side instead of him having to do the mental gymnastics of reading upside down. ]
Yes. It's good that nothing happened to you three. Can you tell me what you know about all of this?
[ He very much wants to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if this is part of the EVENT he is going to throw a FIT ]
[She easily pounces onto the bed to crawl closer so they can read and write side by side.]
it's impacting a ton of you, but we're not sure how it started nothing quite like this has happened before during the master's events, but there are some unusual circumstances around this time around sometimes strange things happen in this house but not really like this
[ Huh... strange things like CONFETTI RAINING FROM THE SKY but most of what Ayabe's heard that's strange about this place comes from other people- Mammon not being able to do demony things and Jin Ling not being able to feel his core anymore and 45 not being able to ...something. Whatever she was trying to do when she held her hand out expecting something to happen.
Normies like Ayabe have it easy, nothing is wrong. ]
Is it something about this place that's causing it? Luna doesn't think it's a disease. But maybe there's something in the water you should check out. Maybe there's mold growing in the pipes.
[ Plum probably wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, but who knows, maybe Pumpkin's neglected her garden for so long, the plants have started infiltrating the piping just to get some water. ]
my sisters take care of this house and mold would NOT be growing anywhere! next you're gonna say there's something wrong with the food :( but...I don't know. have you ever experienced something like this before?
Were you the one who gave Mammon cockroaches to eat?
[ on the side before giving Peach a look, but then goes back to the more important part of the conversation. Not saying there's anything wrong with the food, but. You know. ]
No, the closest thing would be water in my ears after swimming, but never complete deafness. Most people would not have experienced things like not being able to see or feel unless they have some serious illness. People have hallucinating people who aren't there. If it's not the water, and is not an illness, maybe it's cabin fever. People will feel better if they can go outside.
yes! :D he seemed to like the very much. i like to cater to our guests as much as we can did you talk to pumpkin about going out? and who said anything about hallucinating other people?
I've been trying to talk with Pumpkin about doing the gardening, but she's just not interested in it. We're not allowed outside until that's done, right? People have been hallucinating other people. Beau saw herself. Ling thinks he saw a friend. I saw what looked like my younger brother.
right! plus it's kind of cold right now, but the weather should improve soon this is the first time I'm really hearing about hallucinations though. maybe it really IS cabin fever...especially if it's happening to so many of you at the same time does it happen all the time? are you seeing someone else right now?
[ He looks up and around the room, but then shakes his head no. There's nobody else here... for now... and by her questions, he's supposing she's never seen anybody who isn't supposed to be here either. It's totally cabin fever and when somebody dies today Ayabe might cry but at least he won't be surprised. ]
Sometimes when I go from one room to the next, I can see him talking and laughing with some of the others here. I can't reach him, though, and I know he would come to me if he saw me.
[ Nobody can save him but at least he'll only have to cry once or twice a week on weekends. ]
I can't hear him. I can just hear laughter. I think he's just a hallucination- I know he's fake, and if I ignore him, it won't affect me. I don't want it to get worse, though. And it's been scaring some of the others.
they DO say things like that are mind over matter do the others think what they're seeing are hallucinations, too? that might make it easier even if it's a little sad
Ling thinks he saw a ghost. But he has a wild imagination.
[ Have you seen his profile? Sword surfing, immortality, all that stuff. ]
I don't know what else there is to do but keep people occupied and get their minds off it. Plum was able to get me some things, but not everything I asked for. What sort of things can you get for people here?
it really depends on what you ask for! Master Blue provides for us and we can provide for you, but there are some things we don't always have on hand or in stock. what did she give you?
[ Oh- It's better to show than tell, so Ayabe slides off the bed so he can pull out everything- two broomsticks, a dust pan and cloth, and the bucket- before writing down their names and introducing each one of them to Peach. ]
The two brooms are Hanazumi-san and Takiyama-san. The dust pan is named Hashito-san. The cloth is Kikumiya-san. And the bucket is Ishimoto-san.

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

Yes.

Are their names for any specific reason?
[Wait. Ayabe can't hear her. Scribbling time!]
why did you choose those names for them?
no subject
It's the feeling I get when I hold them. You can just feel it come to you.
[ He holds the dust cloth out and sets it on her hands. Doesn't it look like a Kikumiya-san to her? ]
no subject
I don't think I've ever felt any of kitchen tools give me their name...
maybe I'm not asking the right questions or feeling the right way?
[I hate this so much.]
no subject
Once you know their names, you feel a connection with them. Maybe if other people did, they would stop abusing them.
