... I can think of a number of reasons. But perhaps that's a topic better discussed later. [No dodging. Only answers. :/] For now, why don't we focus on getting to know each other? We're both curious about our backstories, after all.
We really only had to show Master Blue once before we were hired. But I think it's because we're just really good at our jobs! It's one of those things that felt like a perfect match even if you're not entirely sure how or why. Master Blue had very specific needs and we were able to accommodate those.
But it's been kind of a long time now since then. [Given they're. 5015 years old.]
[Please don't remind him of their age. He's still trying to wrap his head around the amount of people that are a gazillion years old...]
Ahaha, it sounds like you three were extremely lucky. I'm almost jealous. [Is he.] Were you responding to a job listing posted by Master Blue themselves? You can't end such a fascinating story like that, Peach-san.
[... Is he trying to butter her up? He's totally trying to butter her up.]
It's more like Master Blue mentioned the need for assistance and we were given jobs based on what suits us best.
[He can try? She's old, my dude, she has dealt with many guests. She's still pleasant though.] Wouldn't you volunteer for a job if you knew you were meant to do it?
Perhaps. But I won't pretend like I wouldn't consider how it would benefit me, first and foremost. [It is, maybe, a good thing that Peach apparently knows shit about him. Huh.] Are you saying you feel it was destiny that brought you to Master Blue?
Doesn't that kind of make you an opportunist, sir? [Like she doesn't say if that's a good or bad thing either way but she takes note of this.] But I guess most humans want to know what they'll receive in exchange for giving.
With all due respect, sir, I'm not sure that's actually true. [She's not even talking about Akechi specifically, it's more of a general thought. But she doesn't elaborate on that.]
Then I suppose maybe our employment with Master Blue was a bit like destiny, yeah! And what about you and the guests here? Would you consider that destiny of some kind, too?
Normally, you would discuss the terms of an agreement for some time before you reach a consensus. Only a fool would think the terms they've agreed to are clear if they jump in without taking the time to read between the lines, though that's not to say that every arrangement is perfect... Or do you disagree?
[Cat Woods do you need help. Blink thrice if your contract with Master Blue sucks.]
Of course. And I have to say, your master chose to invite a very [uh] peculiar group.
And what about if a contract has an agreement outlined, but the terms of specific portions of the agreement fluctuate because it's a gray area? If someone feels like an agreement is clear but someone else doesn't, who's right in that kind of situation?
[She can't help but grin slightly though.] Master Blue tends to invite guests of interest. Even if they don't all get along right away. We've never really asked why certain guests are invited, but there's usually some reason or another.
I've read a lot of stories, Mr. Akechi. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to inspect the specifics, does it?
[But she shrugs again.] Master Blue wants us to get to know the guests on our own, so we only learn what's written on your plaques. Everything else we learn on our own.

....I guess I don't even really know where to start though. [Ahah.] Our jobs aren't nearly as exciting as everyone else's.
no subject
How about I be the judge of that? Your jobs might be more exciting than you think.
[Given... that they're furries......... Either way, he pauses, tilting his head thoughtfully as he taps a finger against his chin.]
How about... when your talents were discovered? Master Blue must have taken notice of them before offering you employment, after all.

Do you believe in destiny at all?
no subject
[Debatable, really. Either way... He thinks about that for a moment before offering her a shrug.]
Yes, in a way. I believe that fate brings people together.

Then I suppose maybe our employment with Master Blue was a bit like destiny, yeah! And what about you and the guests here? Would you consider that destiny of some kind, too?
no subject
Well... That remains to be seen. I have to spend more time with my fellow guests to determine if I feel that pull of fate, you know.
no subject
You must have spent some time with other guests by now, no?

That's a very specific situation. You're almost making me believe you're speaking from experience, Peach-san.
[Hm.]
You have never asked, not even once? I'm surprised at your self-restraint. I would be too curious to keep the questions to myself.
