Wh-What--No!

[It's angry, but almost a little desperate.]

What's the point of this if you can't give me an answer!? Is this... purgatory? Hell?!

[He's really amping up though—through the anger, a crack of frustrated dead teenager opens up.]

What about the fourth bell? Where's the fourth one of you?

[cluedin]

[ unlike her sisters, plum has been watching asch's breakdown pretty impassively... but she raises an eyebrow ]

This is a house, sir. [ helpful. ] As the blue bell is quite delicate, it is normally advised that one be absolutely certain their call will be answered before ringing it.

[getdrekt]

[UNHELPFUL!!!

His brow knits in confusion.]

And what am I supposed to be certain about?

[cluedin]

It's probably for the best that you're certain you'll receive an answer before you ring that bell.

[getdrekt]

Tch. A little late for that.

[BECAUSE IT'S BROKEN!!!!!!!

the general implication here is, It Is Their Fault For Not Telling Him.]

[cluedin]

I mean, do you make a habit of just messing with things when you have no idea what they're supposed to do? That one's not on us, dude.

[getdrekt]

Do you just make it a habit to put objects around your ridiculous hell house for people to wonder over instead of use?

[SHUT UP PUMPKIN]

I rang it. So? I want something in return.

[cluedin]

Our apologies, sir. We did not realize the guests wouldn't recognize a fragile object when they saw one.

[ bitch ]

What is it you desire?

[getdrekt]

[OOOOOOOH]

My sword.

[easy.]

[cluedin]

Ah...well...we're looking into the location of your belongings, sir! [Rip.]

[getdrekt]

[WHAT]

I rang your damn bells, I know what I want, and that's still not enough?

Give me another blue bell, then.

[this is bullhonky!!!!!!]

[cluedin]

Yeah, funny story about that...

[ she looks at her sisters warily, already wincing preemptively. ]

On a scale of one to ten, how pissed would you be if we said you only get one?

[getdrekt]

[his twisting, white-to-red rage is suggesting that his placement on the scale might be somewhere around one million units of pissed.]

Give me another.

[ANGERY]

[cluedin]

I'm afraid we only had a limited number of bells, sir. We can't get you a new one.

[ you break it, you buy it... ]

[getdrekt]

[ANGERY!!!!!!]

Then give me my demand, or give me the bell's equivalent!

Did you come here just to waste my time?! This is ridiculous!

[cluedin]

We came here because you rang the bells, actually. [SO TRUTHFULLY Asch is wasting their time, isn't he?] We'll deliver your sword as soon as we've located it, but there's really nothing we can do about the bell.

[getdrekt]

So you can't give, tell, or help me with anything.

[that's not technically true but from HIS perspective it is 100% CORRECT]
