[ don't laugh too hard akira there's a 90% chance she doesn't remember your name either even though you told her about five minutes ago ]

You did not answer as to why you were having a conversation in the basement, sir.

[survivaltricks]

[HE EVEN MADE HER TEA??? PLZ!!!]

Oh. That.

He was mad at me for making puns during the trial and decided to express that with a gun.

[he says that so casually]

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

I see. Is that a normal reaction from him, sir?

[survivaltricks]

Unfortunately.

[he doesn't seem upset about the gun just a little tired and resigned, like someone talking about their unruly child that they care about but wish would stop pointing guns at people]

[cluedin]

Perhaps you should remind him guns aren't toys, sir. I believe the etiquette is that you should only point them at someone if you are truly willing to pull the trigger.

[ LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW ]

[survivaltricks]

[HA HA. . . HA. . . . . . . .]

I don't really know if I'd call that etiquette.

[cluedin]

The rules, then?

[ does she look like she shoots a gun. (maybe?) ]

[survivaltricks]

[i mean yeah actually]

That's better.

[slight. . . ly]

[cluedin]

Forgive me. Guns are not my area of expertise.

[ disinfecting kitchens are. ]

[survivaltricks]

[cleaning up dead leeches is]

At least you know better than to point them at people when you're mad at them for making a dumb joke.

[and that's all he really asks for]

[cluedin]

Yes. The Master's guests are quite violent this time...

[ and messy :( ]

[survivaltricks]

Yeah, I know.

[that's why he offered to help her clean up she's so tired :(]

What were Master Blue's previous guests like?

[cluedin]

There have been quite a lot, through the years... I don't know that I could paint them all with a single brush.

[survivaltricks]

Mmmm. . . that's fair.

[a pause]

What about the dinner parties they attended? What were those like? Peach-san told me Nikki-san was the very first guest to turn into a monster.

[cluedin]

They were not always dinner parties, for one. [ she scrubs harder for a second ] But no, we have never had guests turn into monsters.

[survivaltricks]

[hmmmm. . .]

[he forgot to ask Peach this question, so. . .]

Have you ever had one where a guest killed another?

[cluedin]

What makes you ask that, sir?

[survivaltricks]

Curiosity.

. . . and because you, Pumpkin-san, and Peach-san seemed to know what to do when Haruka-san died.

[cluedin]

Part of our job for Master Blue is to be prepared for any eventuality, sir.

[survivaltricks]

So is that a yes?

[he thinks it just might be]

[cluedin]

Guests are not invited so they may kill one another, sir.

[survivaltricks]

[that]

[actually gets him to pause, because. . . well. none of the sisters had said that before. Peach alluded to it when she talked about why the rules changed, but none of them had specifically said murder was not the reason you were invited here]

[huh]

. . . but it does happen. Accidentally or otherwise. It has happened. Right?

[cluedin]

Guests have an impact on what happens in this house, sir.

[ let's pretend. they are done scrubbing leeches? she gestures to the leech corpse ]

Case in point.

[survivaltricks]

[thank god they're done scrubbing leeches that was disgusting]

. . .

I think a guest murdering another guest and Akechi bringing leeches into the kitchen on accident are two different things.

[cluedin]

It might have lead to a murder had Peach been the one to find these.

[ helping? ]
