All of us guests... in this round.

[cluedin]

Phoenix how is this a different question than what you just asked about Akechi...?

[slobjection]

It's not... is it?

[ .... ]

[cluedin]

I gave you the best answer I could.

[slobjection]

... Thank you.

[ gives her a gentle headpat. ]

It must be hard on you three. Having to deal with so many guests.... most of which don't treat you very well.

[cluedin]

[Thanks Dad. But she just...shrugs.]

It's our job. It's okay. We're sort of used to it by now.

[slobjection]

... It's not really okay, though.

[cluedin]

We were assigned to assist all guests with any needs they have, Nick. I don't really blame people anymore for being upset.

[slobjection]

I'll blame them, then.

[ being upset is no excuse to take it out on the staff!! ]

... Do you remember the previous guests?

[cluedin]

[An odd question.]

Most of them, yes. Several of the Master's guests are pretty hard to forget...why do you ask? [Judging by her tone though she's very leery of this question.]

[slobjection]

I was talking to Plum about it... she doesn't remember most of them.

It makes sense. It's probably less painful that way.

[cluedin]

[Her expression seems to freeze momentarily before she breezes right past it.]

Well...we've been working for the Master for several years. Plenty of guests have come through, it makes sense for the others not to entirely remember.

[She may also just be covering for Plum it's fine.]

[slobjection]

[ he knows already, peach!! ]

It doesn't help that they're always dying, I'm sure.

If it were me... I don't think I'd want to remember.

[cluedin]

...do you think it's better to pretend you never met people, or to hold on to a few good memories while you can?

[slobjection]

Hold on to good memories.... but I think it takes incredible strength to do so.

[ he puts his hand on her head gently. ]

I don't know if I could have that kind of strength. Like you do.

[cluedin]

[She doesn't push him away at least.]

I suppose you get used to it after a while. What other choice do we really have, you know?

[slobjection]

.... I'm sorry.

If we succeed in all this and save everyone... what will you three get to do? Take a well earned vacation?

[cluedin]

[She shrugs.] I don't think we're really thought about it much. But if something happens, we'll have time to decide.

[As much as Peach loves the guests and will be kind and engage...it's still best not to get their hopes up yet.]

[slobjection]

You can come visit me, if all goes well. My daughter would have a field day with you three.

[ yea let's not get our hopes up too much :') ]

[cluedin]

The magician, right? You really think so? [Hm.]

[slobjection]

Oh, yes. We run a talent agency, you know? She's always looking for more talent... and you three are extremely skilled.

[cluedin]

I guess that makes sense...if we have the time. It'd be kind of nice.

[slobjection]

You sisters are always welcome. Master Blue too, of course, but they should have a talent prepped just in case.

[cluedin]

Well....what counts as a talent for your agency?

[slobjection]

Hm.... playing poker... being a lawyer.. magic... cooking, cleaning, drawing, playing video games, playing piano... she's very inclusive.
