bluesclues | WEEK ZERO WELCOME MINGLE - OVERFLOW, YOU MONSTERS

WELCOME

Even from behind your eyelids, the soft glowing light can be seen as you find yourself awakening. The slow swell of strings begins, and as you struggle to open your eyes, the sound of footsteps pass you by. You soon hear three feminine voices speak in unison.

"Master Blue wishes to welcome you all. We hope you enjoy your stay!"

Light temporarily blinds you as you look around, but the source of the voices has vanished. Whomever has greeted you seems to have disappeared without warning, leaving you all alone.

The music starts up and though no orchestra is present, the song can be heard all throughout the room. Crystal chandeliers hang above your head, and the waxed wooden floor gleams brightly. Floor to ceiling windows cover the back wall and a night sky full of stars twinkle back at you. The wall next to it, however, is covered by a thick crimson curtain. Those who attempt to move it will find they have little luck in their endeavor, but there are more pressing matters at hand.

Looking down you'll come to notice that you're wearing clothes that certainly aren't what you were previously wearing. You, and the guests around you, have been dressed appropriately in formal attire properly fitted for each individual.

Oh. That's right. Didn't we mention the other guests? Seated to your left, right, and across from you at the long banquet table are other people just like you. Perhaps it's a friend you know, though don't be surprised if it's a complete stranger. Each individual holds a blue and silver invitation with their name scrawled upon it, and a message to follow.

"Please respond to Master Blue's invitation at least one week prior to the event to secure your seat and accommodations.

This dinner is guaranteed to be an event to die for."

Strange, isn't it?

But rest assured! Nothing is stopping you from leaving the ballroom and exploring the other rooms of Master Blue's home. After all, you're an honored guest! It's with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that you're welcomed here tonight. Really, what's your hurry? It's not as though the front door will open for you. Don't bother with the windows either. They've all been locked tight to ensure you're all nice and cozy for your stay.

If you look under your seat, you'll find a special gift bag with your name on it. Opening these bags will reveal the following:

-A small spiral notebook
-A crayon in a specific shade of blue
-Three different candles
-A brass key (Design May Vary.)
-This cute toy

A welcome gift from the Master, of course.

Take some time to admire the decor, if you will. The house has been decorated for this special holiday with chains of paper hearts, miniature golden cupid statues, and confetti that rains down from the ceiling on occasion. Perhaps you'll get lucky tonight with love in the air, especially since Cupid's arrow seems to aim for you no matter where you go. For those of you who don't wish to partake in the lavish feast spread out in the ballroom, you're in luck. Boxes of chocolate and bowls of candy hearts can be found for all your snacking needs.

As the unseen orchestra plays on, it seems as though you've no choice but to get to know your fellow guests and make yourselves comfortable. Perhaps if you wait long enough, someone will come to greet you.

[ Ayabe pulls the bowl of dog food away before it can get upset and falls to the ground. ]

Hah? We introduced ourselves, didn't we? [ That's knowing enough. He knows Jin Ling is a noisy brat, that's enough. ]

I'm offering to make you food so you won't eat Fairy's.

[Noooo, his dog's food! >:(]

So? That's only my name! [His glance withers, and he reaches out to hook his fingers on the bowl so he can try to drag to back to himself.] I share food with Fairy all the time!

[ He lets Jin Ling pull the bowl closer to him, but doesn't let go. There's no spoon or anything inside the bowl so he's confident Jin Ling is desperate enough to grab globs of burger with his bare hands to eat this stuff. Please prove him wrong. ]

Are you sharing people food or dog food? People food can be dangerous.

[ And as funny as the thought of Jin Ling shoving kibble into his mouth straight from the bag is, he also hopes that's not the case. ]

You're not my uncle, so I don't want to hear your lecturing.

[His bowl! He keeps his fingers hooked, tugging it a bit to see if Ayabe will let it hecking go.]

I share the meat I have with her sometimes. Or maybe a bone. What else would you even try to feed a dog? That's just stupid.

If the meat were seasoned with onion or garlic, it could make her sick. Stupid.

[ He lets go. Jin Ling had better have a good grip on that bowl. ]

You're stupid. It isn't seasoned with that stuff. It's all plain unless it's what my uncle has from Lotus Pier, and then it's spicy. But it's too spicy for Fairy, so she can't have any. I'm not trying to ki--!

[The bowl rocks and wobbles in place when Ayabe suddenly lets go, and Jin Ling scrambles to grab both sides to steady it. And then he glares at Ayabe.]

Plain meat? You have servants, but can't afford seasoning? I don't get it.

[ Is this guy rich or is he poor, he doesn't understand. But he does step away from the counter with a nod towards the exit. Jin Ling can now carry the bowl himself while they go find his dog, thanks. ]

What are you, a food and dog handler? [He makes a face.] The meat is plain. Why would you waste seasoning on the meat when you can just season the dish and eat the meat with it? [Hmph.

Begrudgingly, he takes up the bowl in his arms and--zips right past Ayabe with a snap of his long ponytail to get out of the door first.]

Fairy! [It isn't even his damn dog. Awful.] Fairy, come!

[ Because the meat is the meal-- god, now Ayabe's going to assume Jin Ling sprinkles salt on a ceramic plate, plops some meat on top of that, and calls it good.

He lets Jin Ling take the lead, not bothering to walk up front or do any of the calling. He's just going to follow and make sure Jin Ling doesn't sneak any of that dog food into his own mouth. ]

[Not minding being a leader because... of course he doesn't, he leads them from the kitchen down to the dining room. Inside, he calls for Fairy. Fairy? And then he leads them down to the lounge which is wonderfully not ruined at the time. You're welcome, Ayabe. But there's still no Fairy.

So he goes across to the study, to the library, to the billiard room. There's no Fairy, and he complains about Ayabe being a moron, tricking him about his dog. It's in front of the observatory where he squats down and drops the bowl haphazardly on the ground by his feet, wrapping his arms around his knees and burying his head into his arms.]

[ Where is Missle--

Ayabe quickly bends down to steady the door before it spills everywhere, but thankfully hamburger doesn't do that. ]

What- Hey, it'll be alright. It's too early to give up just yet. We'll find her, so don't be upset...

[ HERE COMES THE HEAD PATS he has a five-year-old little sister, he doesn't know how else to comfort people. ]

[His patronizing sense tingle, and he lifts his head just in time for Ayabe to pat his face. Angrily, he reaches up and smacks the hand away. There is luckily not a drop of a tear anywhere near.]

Don’t touch me! You lied! Where the fuck is my dog?!

[ shoosh pap

Ayabe sighs and pulls his hand back. ]

If I knew where she is, I would have led you there instead of following you around in circles. Would I lie about seeing your dog just to get you out of the trashcan?

[ Yeah, he would. ]

Let's keep going. Somebody out there must have seen your dog too. We'll find her.
