[ ... did he burn the tea... she takes it though ]

To what do I owe this, sir?

[slobjection]

[ no because tea is too hard for even him to fuck up. ]

People not dying on schedule.

[cluedin]

... Are you apologizing for someone else dying?

[ ?? ]

[slobjection]

... Nah. I just figured it's been a long week for you. Even longer than usual.

[ and peach narced that she likes tea ]

[cluedin]

[ peach is a TATTLETALE ]

The week was... difficult, but the weekend has not been too arduous thus far.

[ even with clean up they've had. so much worse. to repair ]

[slobjection]

Thanks to Luna's efforts, [ and not much else tbh ] we managed to catch Dazai. Less for you three to worry about, right?

Still. Tea.

[cluedin]

[ and absolutely nothing else indeed. she tilts her head a bit ]

I suppose so. It is... less troublesome for us than it would have been for your group, had the doctor not been here. [ he just named her. she's being a shit. she takes a sip ] But thank you, sir.

[slobjection]

[ nhs did the lie detecting thing. ]

True... but we all have the same goal, don't we? So our successes help you out a bit, and our failures inconvenience you a bit.

No problem.

[cluedin]

[ nhs is valid ]

Yes... I suppose that is true. Though as his staff, our goal aligns with Master Blue's.

[slobjection]

[ no one else, just luna and nhs ]

Are Master Blue's goals not in alignment with ours?

[cluedin]

What do you believe, sir?

[slobjection]

I don't buy into this "it's all Blue's fault, they're complicit and they're torturing us" thing some of those hot-heads seem so convinced of....

I think they're trying to help. But your statement just now does make me wonder.

[cluedin]

[ she seems okay with that answer? ]

I am simply covering my bases, sir. I know the Master's goal far more than I do the rest of the guests.

[slobjection]

[ phoenix doesn't misgender or blame blue does he get any points for that ]

I don't suppose you can tell me more specifics about that goal....?

[cluedin]

[ she looks around and shrugs. ]

Not for the moment.

[slobjection]

[ hmmm.... ]

Say, Plum... can you tell me how many groups of guests you've taken care of, not counting us?

[cluedin]

[ .............. ]

... Many.

[ it doesn't seem like she's dodging the question, more like. she does not remember. ]

[slobjection]

How many of them do you remember?

[cluedin]

I remember all the parties. I ... cannot say I remember all the guests that well.

[slobjection]

Did anyone ever survive the parties?

[ yikes... ]

And.... were they nice to you? The guests?

[cluedin]

... A few, yes.

[ ... that seems to be the answer for both questions? ]

[slobjection]

Only a few? Of so many guests?

[ asking for both questions ]

[cluedin]

[ dodging for the first, but: ]

Not all guests speak to me, and so not everyone makes an impression.

[slobjection]

[ hm. ]

You really do have a thankless job.

[cluedin]

Help is better seen and not heard.
