Some cases were similar to what happened with Miss Nikki. The subconscious because of something they thought about. [A beat.] Then again, some of them purposefully chose to do this.
No! [She just. Kicks the water in the duck pond. The ducks quack.] What happened with Miss Nikki was subconscious, but in the past it hasn't always been that way and sometimes people just do things because they think that's an okay option!
For example, someone beheading a horse was completely on purpose.
[Hm, okay. He takes a second to organize his thoughts.]
What I thought you were saying was that there was one person who started this whole situation off. Not Nikki, but someone who made a decision that led to the monster thing we're dealing with. Is that not right?
[She's just pouting. It's tough being Cat Woods sometimes.]
That's not quite right, no. This event is a little different than events we've had in the past. We're not sure how transformations were decided or anything.
And... What exactly is it that we were brought here to do? You keep mentioning stuff like talking to each other and teamwork. Please don't tell me this is some big trust building exercise.
I mean that's a benefit, yeah. [She's back to trying to get one of the ducks close enough to pet it. She's sorry she lost her temper, duckies!!!] It's like I told Miss Beau. Master Blue's events are meant for you all to get to know each other, learn about each other and work together.
It seems like it was more than that, though. I mean, sure, that's what all his events are about, but you said earlier he had a specific idea for this one.
Did I? I said that the Master brought you here because you were people of interest and there was hope that you'd meet each other and learn from each other. [Unless Hunter means something else.]
—Yes, you did. You said that sometimes he gets ideas out of nowhere, and then he brings people here right afterwards because of them. When I asked if his new idea was the reason we were all here, you told me yes.
Oh, that. [She waves a hand as if that isn't a concern.] The Master is...very stubborn. Most of the ideas acted on are ones that are the same as the last few ideas but expecting different results. You know?
If we do, I don't know where they are. The Master does research on all of the guests, but we only know what's on the plaques in the ballroom and what you guys tell us about yourselves.

[There's a frown.] Sorry Hunter. We're still trying to pinpoint that, too.

So it wasn't subconscious this time around? Did they know what it would lead to when they made that decision?

You trust people here, don't you?

[He nods.]
For the most part, yeah.

...but I'm glad to hear that.
