Yes, they seem to have caused some confusion among the guests. We did not think a note necessary, though I suppose the color-coding was not obvious enough a clue.
[ luna doesn't deserve this judgment... plum nods at her though ]
[It's gonna take her an awkwardly long moment to respond. Sorry, Plum, losing your ability to hear everything clearly is rough. But she's pretty sure she understood the last part........... and, at the very least, the volume of her voice stays about where it should be.]
I... suppose you might have noticed the fights happening already among some of the other partici--- um... guests. I've done my best patching up wounds with what's available to me, but... I really think I could service the others better if I had access to some more thorough medical supplies. Ideally, that shouldn't have to be the case, but... tensions are a little high.
I can elaborate, if you would like. I, um... I don't know if your master would need to approve of this or not.
[ learn to read lips, gosh! don't let your sudden deafness defeat you!!! while plum listens to luna impassively, she does seem to be thinking it over ]
I'm afraid there are no ... thorough medical supplies currently available in the house. We were not expecting the guests to be quite so ....... rowdy.
[ it's too bad luna can't hear the inflection clearly, because it sounds like the worst possible insult. she hums in consideration ]
Working together... Yes. Perhaps that would help. A moment, please.
[ she curtsies and walks briskly out of the room ... and then maybe a minute or two later she's back, holding a box of Howdy Puppy bandaids. there is a cute black dog wearing a green bow on it. she also has some hydrogen peroxide!!! ]
I'm afraid this is all we have in the house at the time, madam. Will this do?
[You know how sometimes on tv shows when someone has a radio and they're too far from the other radio, so they can hear about half of sentences spoken, but the rest is just messy static? That's Luna's hearing right now. A bad radio.
So yeah Plum, you are fine.]
Um... when I came here, I should have had a music box with me. It would have been around a chain, like a necklace, and it looks like a little bird in a cage.
Would you happen to know if you've seen anything like that?
We believe the guests' personal effects have been... misplaced during the transportation the Master arranged for you. My sisters and I will be following up on the location of all such items. We apologize for any emotional distress this may cause, madam.
I assure you, none of your belongings are permanently lost. [ first of all. second of all ... ] As for the blue bell... You should not ring that unless you are absolutely certain someone will answer its call, madam. It is quite fragile.
[What a horrible time to not have all of her hearing.
The assurance, at the very least, gets her to relax a little. But all she hears after that is that she should not ring the bell, and that someone??? is fragile.
Okay then.]
...I guess this was a bad time to ask that. Um... I'll... I'll leave it alone for now, then.
Thank you for your time, Plum. That's all I wished to ask.
[She looks like she wants to immediately protest that, from how her chin trembles. But ultimately, she holds back her comment with a tired sigh, her eyes flitting to the floor.]
[ luna doesn't deserve to interact with uncaring mcbunny and yet, that is what is happening. ]
Of course. Feel free to call for me should you need anything else. I will put in a request for further medical supplies, though I can only hope your fellow guests have calmed down before they arrive.

ITS FINE IT MADE ME LAUGH

What is it you require, madam?

[ it's too bad luna can't hear the inflection clearly, because it sounds like the worst possible insult. she hums in consideration ]
We do have some basic supplies I can provide you?
no subject
[What was it she said? Crazy fruit flies? No, no, there was an "s". Supplies. Something supplies. Ugh, it all sounds so garbled...]
I... yes, I would appreciate it. Anything would be helpful.
It's my job to prioritize when someone is hurt, of course, but I would rather not have to, um... get too creative with household objects.

Maybe Master Blue doesn't believe in modern medicine. That's real sad.]
I... was hoping for something a little more extensive, but...
If this is all you have, then there's nothing to be done about that. Thank you. I can definitely use them.
...
Um. There is one other thing I would like to ask, though.
no subject
[ ... it sounds like she's leaving something out, but it's fine, because luna probably can't hear it! ]
Yes, madam? What is it?
no subject

...
There's no need to apologize, really. I'm... I'm glad to hear there might be a chance that it still exists. Or... that it can be recovered, anyway.
...
One final thing. I... I saw a fourth bell. A blue one. I don't wish to interrupt Master Blue unnecessarily. But, um...
Does... he have the patience for questions?

Is there... anything we can be doing for you?

You are the guests, madam. We are here to serve you, not the other way around.
