According to Akechi-- who got this information from Blue-- we're in the middle of a feud between gods, with the fates of our worlds hanging in the balance.
Those two gods are the mansion, and Master Blue themselves.
... No surprise there. The mansion has been set on demonizing them from day 1.
[ though.... ]
Someone managed to get a memory out of Master Blue. It involved the house... eating them, and wanting to play a game. Now, knowing this... it puts things in a different light.

Hey, Akira. You can just call me Nick... or Phoenix, if you want.
What's up?
[ does he need help hobbling around? ]
no subject
. . . Nick, then.
[THERE THE CALL PHOENIX "NICK" CHALLENGE HAS BEEN REACHED]
Who are you making breakfast for?
[and Akira seems to have it on his own, no help needed!!]
no subject
It's a surprise.
[ maybe it's akira??? ]
no subject
Uuuuh huh.
Is it for the sisters?
[sorry Nick he isn't letting this go]
no subject
Huh. You solved my riddle. Well done. As your prize.... a pudding.
[ he hands over a wrapped pop tart instead ]
no subject
This isn't pudding, but I'm going to take it anyway.
[anyway yes yes he's making coffee for himself. . . AND GRABBING A SECOND MUG FOR DAD]
Do you have a few minutes? There's something I want to talk to you about.
no subject
[ thanks akira ;a; good son. ]
What's up?
no subject
[slides Phoenix a mug of coffee as he takes a seat and opens his poptarts]
Mmm. So.
Akechi met with Master Blue yesterday.
no subject
[ sips at it.... ]
... In person? No notes?
no subject
[he lifts a hand and mimes ringing a bell]
I think the second bell near the Master Bedroom on the fifth floor works now, though Akechi had to wait for a certain date and time to use it.
I'm going to try meeting with them myself later today.
no subject
Yes, there do seem to be things "timelocked"..... I'll give it a try, too.
[ maybe it will be more helpful than letters!! ]
What did he find out?
no subject
[WELL. . .]
We have a slight god problem.
[he sounds SO CRANKY about this, too]
no subject
[ what ]
no subject
[now he's being wry]

no subject
God... feud?
[ honestly, though, crazier things have happened. ]
I suppose that'd explain a lot.
no subject
Yeah. It does.
Apparently, so long as Master Blue keeps inviting people to the mansion, then the mansion itself won't invade our worlds. Or something like that.
And Master Blue is trying to help, it's just-- the mansion keeps getting in their way.
no subject
[ though.... ]

no subject
[presuming they're talking about the same person]
. . . it makes me think that Master Blue is just as much of a captive here as we are.
no subject
And they've been trying to guide us....
.... According to one of the ghosts, we've lasted longer than anyone else has.
no subject
There's something special about our round. About us. What it is, I don't know. But we need to keep trying.
no subject
[ but that's probably not it. ]
no subject
[a light huff]
When I talk to Master Blue later, I'll ask them what makes us different.
no subject
no subject
[and that he can't help but say with a grin slightly sharper than his usual ones]
