...it would never be that easy. It does not like the truth very much.

[slobjection]

I do get that feeling.

[ ... ]

Is that something we could use to our advantage? Discovering truths about its nature?

[cluedin]

Yes. If you can before things change.

[slobjection]

So we're on a time limit..... An extremely short one.

[cluedin]

Yes. Very short...shorter than you may think.

Can you handle that?

[slobjection]

I'll do my best.

[ immediately dies ]

[cluedin]

Okay. [A long pause.] ...thank you.

[slobjection]

Shouldn't that be my line? I feel you've got a much more thankless job than I do.

[ also offering blue a pudding ]

[cluedin]

No. [Though they look at the pudding curiously before taking it. Theirs now.] It is...important. Thankless does not matter.

[They're used to people being mean basically.]

[slobjection]

[ eat the pudding, apollo. ]

If you say so. But after a few thousand years of being misunderstood and hated... I don't think most would be jumping to defend guests. It says something that you are.

[cluedin]

[They eat the pudding...]

...the guests are the best hope. That is all. [They want to believe people will be different and actually help. So. What else can they do?]

[slobjection]

[ offers another ]

[ listen he's praising blue for still being optimistic after so long!! ]

I think you're a pretty good hope, yourself.

[cluedin]

[They eat the second pudding?? Peach cries somewhere else in the house.]

It is a joint effort. Guests...make it easier.

[slobjection]

[ poor peach. ]

In the best case scenario.

[cluedin]

What do you think is the worst case...?

[slobjection]

... Probably what's happened to previous groups.

[ bc like yikes, scoob ]

[cluedin]

...perhaps. It is best to avoid it if possible. [Yikes indeed.]
