GUEST SERVICES - AKECHI

An attic. [Like, duh?] The attic is quite large. You may wish to look if interested. We keep things there for years.

[So maybe Blue has seen the attic.]

[miscakes]

[Wow, maybe it's the roof instead! Gosh.]

I would be more surprised if none of us looked around. As you must have noticed by now, our group has a habit of entering locations the house would rather we didn't see.

[cluedin]

Yes. [Their echo-y tone almost sounds a little exhausted but that's fine.] Why is that?

[miscakes]

Isn't it obvious...? You once said we have a strong will to be exercised. If there's even a remote possibility that something useful can be found behind those locked doors, it would be irresponsible to simply let it be. We all want to end this cycle, after all.

[Even if certain people have given Akechi 10 consecutive heart attacks... Ganba, Blue.]

[cluedin]

After the rooms have been unlocked...what then?

[miscakes]

Then, we try something else. [Gently shrugs? What do you want him to say, Blue.] There must be something the other groups missed.

[cluedin]

When you lose something, what is the first thing you do to attempt recovery? [It's almost like they aren't listening to Akechi, but given they're staring straight at him (somehow) it's relevant to what he just said.]

[miscakes]

... Normally, you would retrace your steps.

[Master Blue, what do your schrodinger's eyes see... Akechi is giving them a very ??? look.]

[cluedin]

[...there's a very polite clap. A good detective!!]

[miscakes]

[THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A COMPLIMENT...]

But, are we retracing our steps, those of our predecessors, or... yours? [... Probably not the last two, but there's a lot of shit going on. It's fine.]

[cluedin]

Your own. You're further ahead than previous guests. [...] I do not recommend following my steps. That would be awful.

[Please don't end up in a feud with a house.]

[miscakes]

[Slowly nods... Blue, what did you do to piss off the house in the first place?]

... Yes, perhaps that's for the best.

[THAT'S ROUGH, BUDDY...]

A lot has happened over the last five weeks, but... [Is this metaphorical? Hm.] Do you believe it's necessary to go back to the very beginning, when we first woke up in this mansion?

[cluedin]

It would help. [It's not entirely necessary but in a way it is.] Retrace your steps and everything you have learned. That will help you understand and find the source.

[miscakes]

[Honestly, they need all the help they can get at this point? Hm.]

Then... A group meeting will be necessary so we may compare notes with everyone who's still alive. [Maybe notes from the dead, too...] Would it be a waste of our time to use the item Akira and Carbide-san found in the study to verify we haven't missed anything in other rooms?

[cluedin]

You may use it but it does not seem necessary. [...] A meeting would be more effective.

[miscakes]

... Should we take into consideration everything the dead have said and done, as well?

[Mammon, your forks...]

[cluedin]

Perhaps...they are aware of several things, I believe. [But they sound hesitant. Some of them may very well just be shitposting, but it's okay.]

[miscakes]

But you're not sure?

[Some of them are definitely shitposting and Akechi will 1v1 them if he ever sees them again......]

[cluedin]

Some of them may not realize that is their best way to help. Others are still learning how to communicate.

[miscakes]

... How annoying. They need to realize this isn't the time for jokes.

[Says Akechi, who thinks meme are a good way to disguise his identity. Either way, he pauses for a moment, thinking of something.]

We will, of course, give it our all in the upcoming trial. But should we anticipate backlash from anyone with high fluctuation levels once we identify the source of the distortion? [The house is a Palace now.]

[cluedin]

[Hm...hm...]

I would recommend being prepared for anything.

[miscakes]

[Ah. Don't like that.]

I see. [...] And you, Master Blue? When that moment arrives, will you and your employees be punished for the help you have provided us?

[cluedin]

It's possible. [Blue considers this for a moment.] No one has come this far before. We do not know how it will happen. [So don't take everything at face value. They should just be prepared.]

[miscakes]

[He's going to kick everyone's butt until they're prepared, but he sure doesn't look happy about this! He doesn't hate them enough to want bad shit to happen to them. :/ Smh.]

... Is that so? With a group like this, I'm surprised we're the only ones who have made it this far. [Master Blue has bad taste and he will say it.] What will become of the four of you if we succeed in breaking the cycle?

[cluedin]

You've had more time and less complications. [Hm? Okay.] We are not sure yet. It depends how the cycle is broken, I suppose.
