[Video] Clearly the most important thing right now.
[She waves gently as the feed comes on. Behind her there is a large sheet, divided into three categories: 'Heard of', 'Not heard of', and 'Variance'.]
[Her name and Della's are written, in perfect letters, in the first column.]
So I was reading, earlier in the month and had a conversation with Della. Interestingly, despite our different universal backgrounds, we had both heard the trope 'The Butler Did It' - though the books on the train have, thus far, not revealed why this trope is a thing in either of our universes.
As a result, I am curious: in how many of your universes in this something known as well, and are there any variants? For those unaware, the trope refers to fictive mysteries, specifically, wherein the murder taking place in a manor house is presupposed to have been committed by the butler, or head servant.
[Because it wouldn't be Guri if she didn't break it down.]
Oh, and I am unsure what to vote for in terms of room. Perhaps something for the arts? Would that not benefit everyone most?
[Later, she adds a text updated:]
My official vote is for 'pool'.

It's common enough to have made it onto Van Dine's 20 rules.
But please vote for the lab.

[She indicated the board behind her. Name please.]
And thus far, I believe the nature of recent missions indicates a need for leisure space, to reduce passengers’ anxiety. My initial preference was the arts for that, given their potential value to people, though of course that is less quantifiable. But now I believe I will be voting for the pool.
[Why? Because Alice is a sweet person, even if she would rebel forever at the term. At least in Guri’s book.]

And do you really believe leisure space is more important than something that can actually improve conditions here? We have labs set up in unsuitable locations, or taking up space meant for other activities.
We have people developing drugs for troublesome conditions, or trying to put together technology to help on missions. They need proper space to work, not to mention the danger of having to work without the proper safety of a designated work area.

[She replies, very simply.]
Or, rather, it is equally important to improving conditions.
