[ It takes very little time for there to be a knock at Lio's door! Because we put all of those back. We were nice. WHO COULD IT BE? ]

that meme is burnish discrimination

[madburnout]

[ God this is weird. He hates this. Ringing little bells to exploit a worker, it just feels wrong. Opening the door??]

it's what lio deserves

[cluedin]

[ you're gonna hate this more lio she's curtsying when he does ]

Hello, sir. You rang for me?

[madburnout]

Don't do that.

[and]

And don't call me that.

[cluedin]

[ well, she's done curtsying, so? score? one task done. but for the other one. she tilts her head ]

How would you prefer to be addressed, sir?

[ nailed it ]

W1, WEDNESDAY

[cluedin]

[Peach is still in her mini-event teacher outfit when she answers the bell, entering from the hall and stepping into the library quietly. Or, like, as quietly as one can with a big bell dangling from their neck. But she stops a few feet away before offering Lio a curious look.]

You rang, Mr. Fotia?

[madburnout]

[ Why are they all so weird!!! With the Misters and Sirs. ]

If I have questions, you will answer them?

[cluedin]

As best as I can, yeah. [At least Lio's not immediately punching.] What sort of questions do you have?

[madburnout]

[He's not! Progress. Maybe?]

Blue. When does he actually arrive. Does he exist at all?

W2, MONDAY

[cluedin]

[On Monday morning after Lio rings the bell, he'll hear a polite knock on his bedroom door! Hewwo? Mr. Fotia???]

[madburnout]

[ Hewwo??? Peach??

Opening the door for her - though he doesn’t waste much time before he’s just launching into it. ]

Peach. I need to know - will the same killer from last week strike again, or will it be someone different?

[cluedin]

[She can appreciate that Lio won't beat around the bush, at least.]

...it's entirely likely that it'll be both, actually.

[madburnout]

[ Great! Wonderful! Love that. ]

I have a suspicion - I think . . . [ he grimaces? He hates this, the accusation, but ] There are those who match the evidence, someone who I believe is hiding where they spent the night. They destroyed their way out of the crypt to make their way upstairs. He didn’t have an injury, but . . . it’s a gut feeling.

If we can subdue him on Friday night, find some way to trap him, he won’t be able to hurt anyone. We can vote for him on Saturday.

w2; sunday

[cluedin]

[ ring ring ring ring ring ... bunny rabbit phone... anyway, plum practically fucking appears in the lounge like a ninja after lio rings her bell ]

Good day. Was there something I could help you with?

[ look at her. not even saying sir once. wow ]

[madburnout]

[thank GOD plum]

The human experiments. Explain.

[cluedin]

[ ughhhh ]

This week is the first time I've ever heard of such thing. Another guest mentioned it, but I'm afraid she did not tell me why some of you seem to believe there have been human experiments.

[ beau was too busy yelling ]

[madburnout]

The hospital we were in contained the names and details of patients as if they were being treated for something - perhaps the same "disease" that causes us to . . . turn to monsters and kill. Those in the morgue found a list of names, and the reanimated bodies of those who were being held after their death to "study."

You have all mentioned "guests" before, though Peach claimed no deaths had occurred. I can see that this is clearly untrue.

w5; monday

[cluedin]

[ The lounge is fixed :/ :/ :/ anyway, it doesn't take long for the bun to show up after lio rings the bell, though she seems a little surprised to have been summoned by lio??? she still curtsies ]

Good afternoon. Was there something you needed?

[madburnout]

[HE REALLY DID CALL HER TO APOLOGIZE. He's on his post-murder apology tour. It's fine.]

Ah-- I was going to help fix it. But I didn't get to it in time.

[cluedin]

[ she blinks then shakes her head ]

It's alright. It is my job to clean all messes in the house so guests aren't inconvenienced.

[ this apparently includes carpentry. ]

[madburnout]

Still-- I . . . [Hm.] Didn't mean to crash through the house.

W5, MONDAY

[cluedin]

[Lio rings the bell in front of the Master bedroom and...the door swings open? It's a little dark inside, but it seems as though there's something of a living room/guest area that he's entering. He can't quite see yet, but soon he'll hear a soft, echo-y voice as chills run up his spine.]

Lio Fotia...?

[madburnout]

[Just strolling on in there. It's fine. If it's a trap, then he'll just deal with it. He suspects it isn't.]

That is correct. Blue?

[cluedin]

[Lio strolls ahead and the lights flicker on not long after that, soon revealing a room. Seated on the floor of this room is a figure who seems to be watching him calmly.]

That is correct. [It's the same echo-y kind of tone just repeating that back. Hello.]

[madburnout]

[Hm! Weird. Well, walking over, but he doesn't sit anywhere.]

You appear differently than described.
