That name doesn't sound very appealing. Though I guess I've heard worse around here. Do you know if they have rooms for dance rehearsal? If so, then I'll just have to show all the ugly ducklings what a beautiful swan looks like...♪
[He'd love to stop having to use Mating Season pods for practice.
But now it's time to give her some info. He initially chirps,]
No clue!
[Because he really, truly doesn't understand how magic works.]
But that's what she said. "She" being the Red Cardinal proprietress. That was the same woman Victoria mentioned in her journal entry. I asked her what she meant when she told Victoria that the resort runs on us, and that some are more "valuable than others." Then she said what the resort takes from us is "our fate." Some people are destined to do great things, like an emperor, while some aren't, like a servant who dies young—that was the example she used. Apparently someone like the emperor is worth more to the House, since they offer more for the resort to "sustain itself on."
As for how "changing our fate" works, she said that by "sharing something so intimate" with people from different worlds, we're changing our fate since we never would've met those people otherwise. Or at least that's the idea. And that's supposedly how the resort gets its energy.
[He waves a hand as he finishes. There's a smile on his lips but it doesn't quite meet his eyes.]
I don't know how you feel, but that explanation didn't satisfy me at all. But she declined to answer more questions even though I offered to double what I'd done for her before. So for now, that's all I have to go on.
