... if we can stop the transformations, and the murders, if they're two separate things--then the house rules won't need to account for monsters or trials or whatever and they'll change and this will all stop.
Yeah. Peach said that was technically possible. We can change the rules.
[ she nods a little. she's - struggling, here and there, hunter's emotions very, very present in her head, but she's trying. ] The letter was next to useless. He didn't really answer our questions.
Yeah, that's what I mean! That's how we change them. We stop the monster transformations. When I asked for a clue she ... well, she told me to talk to people.
Yeah. She keeps telling me to talk to people too. [ beau has gathered it's the power of friendship that's gonna turn the tides, probably.
she pulls him a little closer, trying to stay present. ]
We asked him a few questions. Like what are we here for, why is he busy. Why did he hire the girls. It was all non-answers. Like "they're better at talking to guests, sorry for the unforeseen delays, glad you're working together, bye."
I guess maybe all of us are learning different things? That's the only reason I can think of. You think maybe we should get everybody together to talk?
[ a pause, and, very flatly: ] Somehow that's exactly the proof I'd expect Master Blue to pull and none of us have even met the guy.
Right? [ she says, slightly indignant. ] Fucker doesn't even have time for his guests.
But - yeah. I think you're right. We should probably have some sort of group meeting soon. Secrets don't usually do any of us any good. Especially if we're trying to make it out of here alive.
We're all in this together, right? Guess it's best if we work together, too. How should we do that, though? Just ... let them know? When should we do this?

[ she sighs out slow, though. ] Maybe when my brain isn't melting out of my ears. And - after, um. Tomorrow.
[ the execution. she closes her eyes again, and there's that echo of all of hunter's roiling emotions again. she flinches. just a bit. ]

[ he'll hug her again, keeping her close. if it means anything, that darkness that was there before, riding along under his feelings--
it's either gone or quiet, because all that's there now is his concern and care for her. ]
