[Akira is missing half a leg and is probably high on painkillers of course Akechi can flick him in the nose. he makes an indignant noise and jerks back, frowning deeply!!]
Maybe more than one enemy. Like with the zombies, this one posed as Master Blue and tried to mislead us. Make us think that Master Blue was something that they aren't.
As for how they relate. . . [a small shrug] I still don't have any answers for that.
There's clearly someone, or something, he upset enough for them retaliate. A past guest, or someone who goes even further back than the very first party.
[... Actually, he does pause at that, remembering something.]
Did you know the sisters have not been present for all the parties Master Blue has arranged? They were quite the prolific host before that, and they only came into their master's employ when they suddenly required the additional help.
That is something we have known from the very beginning.
[... A beat. And he holds the lollipop and syringe out to him.]
We should be careful requesting help from the sisters going forward. It will be troublesome if they all end up receiving the same punishment, or worse.
After she pulled out the black light, she started melting. Her skin was oozing off of her skeleton, you know? She reached out for Missile, so I threw a paperweight at her, and--

[he remembers that conversation]
no subject
If whoever Master Blue slighted came before the sisters volunteered to work here, then it's entirely possible they simply don't know.
no subject
Which means there is only so much help they can give us.
[at some point. . . they're going to have to stop relying on the sisters and start piecing things together themselves]

no subject
I-- [. . .] Yeah. You're right.
[Plum and Pumpkin and Peach can't keep holding their hands through this, and Akira knows it]
I still don't feel like we have all of the pieces to figure out the answers, though.
no subject
[Akira would still have his leggy and Anya would still be alive if they had all the pieces, but. They don't. So!]
Was there anything else you learned from that room?
no subject
[UNFORTUNATELY]
After she pulled out the black light, she started melting. Her skin was oozing off of her skeleton, you know? She reached out for Missile, so I threw a paperweight at her, and--
[. . .]
It all went downhill.

[He sighs, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms.]
What a waste.
no subject
She shut off the lights, and when she turned them back on again, we were in a mirror maze.
[so that's where the broken glass came from]
no subject
Ah.]
She sounds like a charming host.
[Yikes. Yikes, yikes, yikes.]

no subject
[Akira blinks a few times, expression turning puzzles]
What do you mean?
no subject
He watches him for a moment, though, as if gauging his expression before elaborating.]
I'll be blunt. Has anyone asked for a vial of your blood?
no subject
[understanding washes over his expression, concern etched onto his features]
Luna asked you, too?
no subject
Yes. But, she refused to explain why when I asked. All she said was that it pertained to this weekend's investigation.
no subject
She said the same to me. She told me it was for curfew, but. . .
[he trials off]

no subject
[he doesn't think he could have afforded to give more, since. leggy]
It is-- [suspicious? no, he rephrases] I'm worried about her.
But if you're thinking she's transforming into a monster this week. . . she isn't.
no subject
You sound sure of that. What have you learned?
no subject
[THERE'S ANOTHER ONE FLOATING AROUND]
no subject
[WHY THO.]
no subject
[just. nods sagely. yeah]
Galo received another on Wednesday. It said "Luna didn't have rabies," and that Hunter was "immune from rabies."
no subject
[BECAUSE, HM. THEY SURE WERE WRONG ABOUT MELTRYLLIS.]
However, it does line up with what I know regarding Hunter.
no subject
[THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT MELT BUT HE THINKS HE KNOWS WHY]
. . . what do you know regarding Hunter?
