[ the dreams...... it makes sense. maybe it picked one person to possess just to spur on the battle royale in the shorter rounds... ]

So it's rigged the game against you from the beginning. You try to anticipate it... with your staff, but the Oddity changes its game plan every so often.

What is the heart of the house, Master Blue? How do we get to it to stop all of this?

[cluedin]

[Nodding along. Yeah, Phoenix got it. The house sucks and changes plans often enough.]

That is something you must discover on your own in order to stop everything.

[slobjection]

You know... your opponent is cheating pretty flagrantly. I don't mean to be pushy, but I think you could even the playing field a little with a small hint or two, no?

I heard something about an attic. Hot or cold?

[cluedin]

[Just....staring. They don't know this game, Phoenix.]

There is an attic. It's upstairs.

[slobjection]

[ phoenix is crying inside ]

Is it important?

[cluedin]

Not particularly. But helpful for understanding.

[slobjection]

... Huh. So is the source somewhere we've been past, or somewhere we've yet to discover?

[cluedin]

You have already discovered the source, but you have yet to uncover it.

[slobjection]

[ hmmmm.... ]

Do you think that third eye would be helpful with that?

[cluedin]

...[They blink a little...and then a third eye suddenly opens on their forehead.]

Third eye...?

[slobjection]

(Creepy...)

Didn't you have a tool in your study...? Or fake study.

[cluedin]

...[They make a triangle with their hands. Tool?]

That is not a third eye.

[slobjection]

[ nods ]

That's what the kids call it. It lets you see things deeper than the naked eye... maybe help with the illusions the house puts out. No?

[cluedin]

Sometimes. [That is to say that it works on some things but it's not the answer to everything.] Don't rely on tools more than each other.

[slobjection]

You're all about teamwork, aren't you?

[ haha!! anyway he us going to pull out 45's notes and also a crayon copy of the language in the blood room ]

Mind translating these for me?

[cluedin]

[They're looking over the notes.] Failed research attempts. [This is in regards to the notes 45 found.] And it would be rude to properly translate these. [A gesture to the blood room notes. Hm.]

[slobjection]

Research in regards to what?

[ hm indeed!! ]

Is it relevant, or just vulgar?

[cluedin]

A plan for winning. [But hm, hm...] The latter. It is unnecessary.

[slobjection]

... We've just been calling the house a house, or the oddity... but I know it's supposed to be a god.

Does it have another name? Any other distinguishing features about it? What is it the god of?

[cluedin]

....a god...? [They now just sound confused.]

[slobjection]

Isn't that what you said to Goro?

[cluedin]

[They shake their head.]

The house and I have much in common. He seemed to think so though.

[Akechi: are you implying you're a deity?
Blue: . . .
Akechi: ah.]

[slobjection]

[ peach voice: akechi jumps to conclusions on his own. ]

You are a god though, aren't you...?

[ just checking. ]

Can you tell me what it is, though? If not a god.

[cluedin]

[They shake their head.]

Not exactly. The house and I are similar.

[slobjection]

How so?

[ can't believe they're both gods ]
