Debbeye: We're going to play a game we called, "Based on Context." It's where we describe a Guest from the outside sources starting with the phrase, "Based on context."
Mud: Based on context, Kokichi Ouma is a seasoned liar, and it's his Arriving Day.
Debbeye: Also Scizor Cecil.
"Scizor?"
Mud: *side hugs the red mantis* Yes, you. I'll go next. Based on context, Strife Cloud has been a lab rat for around five years. *lifts a finger* Excuse me. *opens a window and screams* FUCK YOU, HOJO!!!!
Elfo: *shouts back from a distance* WHO'S HOJO?!
Mud: A MAD SCIENTIST WHO EXPERIMENTED ON PEOPLE!
Elfo: OKAY!
Mud: *closes the window* Well, Elfo is one observant consort.
Melyssa: Mudma, are you cursing another Deadbeat?
Mud: Yes, yes I am.
[Memoria is curled into a ball, her stripes glowing a bright, blinding orange.]
Melyssa: Grandmem! *slowly approaches Memoria, kneels and scoops her up in her lower arms, the stripes leave an electrical burn, stands up, and coaxes in a whisper* I got you, listen to my breathing. *starts breathing slowly, Memoria feels around her hands, touching the palms* Anxiety. *stroking Memoria's back* Come on.
[Memoria gradually regains her breathing, her stripes fade to gray, opens her eyes, caressing the burns on Melyssa's arms, and her stripes turn dark pink from the guilt.]
Melyssa: It's okay, Grandmem, you didn't mean to.
Mud: You okay to play, "Based on Context?" *Debbeye elbows her* What? She didn't seize, and she could use a distraction.
Memoria: *panting* Sure. Based on context...this is my...interpretation of...the new..."Inside Out" emotions. What you saw...was Ansiedade; Anxiety...she's orange. *taps her stripes* Embaraço; Embarrassment, hot pink. Inveja; Envy, teal. Tédio; Ennui, royal blue. Nostalgia, gray. I don't have rose-colored glasses, thank you very much.
Melyssa: Based on context, we're using the "Wreck-It-Ralph" theory, where video game characters play a role behind the screens, for the Cloud/Sora connection from "Super Smash Bros," which is their secondary job.
Isabelle: Do they have dental insurance? Cue the Shrek meme. Based on context, the Goetia groom their young with their arranged Joinings, just like Ciel and Lizzie back in Old England.
Basil: [raspy, their voice box occasionally making a suction cup-type noise] So Stolas and Byakuya are the same. They were both bullied into taking roles they didn't want. At least Byakuya didn't have to form a Joining with someone he has no feelings for.
Platinum: Based on context, Paimon is a Deadbeat, and should have a golden Noctowl as his Shiny Treatment.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that."
[A familiar avian demon steps out of an open portal, a blue book in one arm.]
Coriander: Hey, Stolas. Are you gonna scold us for letting Akane trash your mansion?
Melyssa: Cori.
Coriander: No, I am not gonna let this oversized, royal bird bite you and Isabelle's heads off.
Stolas: This "royal bird" prefers a pallet of small mammals, thank you, Cori.
Coriander: You're not taking Roxas. *hovers over a small blond* Meu nuvem pequeninho.
Memoria: Your small cloud?
Mud: Isn't he the Nobody?
Debbeye: Mud, don't be rude.
Mud: I'm not a bald Turk. They literally labeled this Roxas as a Nobody.
Stolas: *clears his throat* I assure you girls I have no ill intent towards your little charade in the past year. This Akane's acrobatics reminded me of the circus where Blitzø and I first met. *sad sigh*
Melyssa: Your partnership didn't work out? *Stolas shakes his head*
Debbeye: We can provide a safe haven for now.
Cumin: Based on context, we don't know how we've managed to pinpoint any of the Guests' traits. *shrugs* Lucky guess.
