O-oh! [That was fast. She jumps a little at Plum's voice, but gathers herself as best as she can, giving a sheepish nod.]
Yes... thank you, Plum. To be honest, I was hoping that these might be related to you.
Would I be able to make a request for, um... a specific item? Or for supplies?

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 ]
What is it you require, madam?

[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 ]
We do have some basic supplies I can provide you?

I'm sorry. I wish they would work together a little more than this. I understand they might be frustrated, but... violence isn't going to help anyone.
[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.

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?

[Oh. The peroxide is nice to see, but... hm. Hmmmmm.
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.

[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?

[ ah. 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.

[Mm. And just like that, that odd cloud slips right back over Luna's features, the same as on Saturday when she had spoken to Plum about the RSVPs.]
...
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?

[ hmmm. plum stays quiet for a second ]
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.
Is there... anything we can be doing for you?

[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.]
...I understand.
Thank you. That's all I needed.

[ 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.

[Look, Luna chose the purple bell so she will endure the purple hell, it's fine.]
I appreciate it.
Thank you very much, Plum. I, um... I'll be in touch.

[Normally Peach wouldn't answer the bell after the trial. Normally she would only let it ring and focus on the task at hand, but when she looks in the garden and sees Luna, she feels a moment of pity before she approaches quietly.]
...you rang, Doctor?
...you rang, Doctor?
[Peach will find her on the path of the garden, weeping. There's a stutter to her voice that doesn't quite sound natural, like a record skipping. She can't, she can't, she can't--]

[It hurts. It hurts, more than it ever did in the games. How she could ever break the Laws to begin with, she never could parse. She remembered how it felt to anguish, to feel higher processes straining to hold themselves together, the first time she actively allowed someone to die.
But this... to let an innocent die, a true innocent, with no other purpose or plan other than horrible, horrible chance that had brought him back from death only to let him die again... Whatever part of her that had let her bypass her orders on Earth now scrapes at the inside of her mind like a screwdriver on glass, so familiar to the conflict that had driven her to risk death for the sake of a little boy's life.
Except now... she has no escape. She sees the confines of her quantum home, knows it still by heart, and yet there are no cameras, no logs, no other occupants. It's her, and only her, and her body trembles with the effort to rationalize any part of this decision.
So all she can do, all she can find herself the energy to do, is to clutch her hands to her chest, and beg.]
Please.... please, I'll talk to Master Blue i-i-if I have to, I-I'll take his place--- p-please don't let me have to sit and watch another person die...

[Her expression is neutral, unsure of what to say as she watches the woman in front of her fall apart. Of course she knows of Luna's true nature. They're meant to know the specifics of their guests, after all. She watches and she listens before she's shaking her head slowly.]
There are things you don't understand yet, Luna. I'm sorry...I truly thought you would find who was responsible. But these are the rules. This is how it must be for now.

Why??? If this is a necessary evil, then at least try to explain why! Give me some sort of reason...
[It's still a pleading beg.]
