A surprise meeting...?

[foundationmods]

[On March 1st, no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing, your character will receive a notification:]

Something important has come up. Please meet me at Site 4 at 3pm local time. If you are unable to meet in person, you can conference call in.

- Mission Control

[The notification also provides the details necessary to get in on the call.

For those who can arrive in person, there is a conference room with chairs situated in rows, not unlike a mission briefing room would be arranged. There is even a projector set up and hooked up to a computer, and a pair of cameras set up to record both the projector screen and the seating area. Frisk is also there, but they are busy setting up the video feeds and making sure everyone can patch in on the call. They are oddly focused, with a frown spread across their face and barely a glance spared at anyone who walks it.

If Frisk is taking things this seriously, then it must be important. So pull up a seat and get ready.]


[OOC NOTE: this post is for all characters who were present in rounds 1-4 and did not return to their canon world yet. Anyone who fits those criteria is welcome to join.]

That Nora and Sandalphon get to stay safe, and he owes me a favor for it.

[chaoscontrol]

[Shadow looks back at Alcor incredulously. He's unsure what the star could offer that Watanuki couldn't already accomplish on his own, but... he knows better than to say that outloud right now] ... I see.

[houndumb]

Who're ya calling a creature, ya damn half-assed hedgehog--

[Apparently you poked one of Nora's extremely numerous buttons. There are more of them than there are stars in the sky! But this is a loud one!! Luckily he's also busy watching the exchange between Watanuki and Alcor like a tennis match, he has no idea what the fuck is going on here.

(The adults are talking, that's what. Probably.)]

... Hah?? What the hell kinda deal is that.

[chaoscontrol]

[ignoring Nora.

ignoraing]

[houndumb]

[DON'T IGNORA THIS IGNORAMUS]

[chaoscontrol]

[sometimes it's like he can still hear nora's barking]

[foundfate]

It means you get to stay at my shop and eat my food.

[houndumb]

What, so it's just what humans would call payin' rent or something?

[foundfate]

Pretty much.

[darkremnants]

[ And that gets a response from someone in the conference call that was quiet this whole time. ]

[houndumb]

[SQUINTS WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE EVEN IS THIS]

[darkremnants]

[ Laughing. It got eaten from my original tag ]

[visionem]

[ Suddenly magics coffee into his hand except not, except maybe yes because uh hey way to call him out here Noodle. ]

A deal like any other. [ Again that explains nothing but what more can you expect from him. ]

[houndumb]

[He could read the room or the coffee or he could just keep yapping. Guess which option he's picking!!!!]

You know there's no such deal as a deal like any other with this weirdo, right.

[Should he speak more respectfully of Watanuki.





Eh.]

[visionem]

[ We're doing this with dramatically looks into the ocean icon because it's the best I got at the moment. ]

...yes, I am aware. We discussed the deal for quite some time.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Someone else on the conference call is waving.]

[houndumb]

[He responds by pointing at his eyes and then pointing at them?? What does that even mean.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[I don't know but Karen is responding to it with a hairflip.]

[merirut]

[?!?!???]

...Wait, when exactly did this happen?

[alcor what even]

[foundfate]

Right about the time you all bailed on that reality show turned murder house. He's very protective of you two, you know.

[merirut]

[...You know, he's not sure if he should be surprised or not so here you get some kind of weird constipated expression as Sandalphon struggles to figure out how he feels about this whole revelation. But it also makes a good amount of sense as to why he was allowed to bum around stay at the shop.]

...If there was a price to be paid, you only needed to ask. I'm not so ungrateful that I refuse to pay my own debts.

[aka please give alcor a refund because what the heck???]

[foundfate]

He asked it of me, which is why he'll be the one to pay the price.

If you want to negotiate that, then he's the one to ask, not me.

[visionem]

[...oops. Taking a looooong sip of this coffee he just magic'ed up. ]

More than several months ago, shortly after we arrived here. [ Blink. ] Before you joined us, but I made sure to include that provisional in the event you left the Foundation.

[merirut]

[Alcor why. First the demon lending, then the ridiculous credit balance and now this. Even if Alcor may not think anything of it all, Sandalphon still finds it all hard to accept, especially when it feels like he hasn't really done much to earn any of it.]

I suppose the sentiment is appreciated, but the act itself was wholly unnecessary. It's not as if I'm incapable of paying my dues ['Unlike that dog' is left unspoken but there's a quick glance over to where Nora is bristling up in his own way] nor would I be reluctant to do so. So why...?

[visionem]

I did not mean to imply such a thing, Sandalphon. [ Looking at the ripples in the coffee. ]

I...am unsure myself. [ A beat and more blinking with his ridiculous eyelashes. ] No, that is not correct, but I still find these matters difficult to convey as I do not yet fully grasp them myself. It is because...it is because I wished to do something for the both of you. I know it is not a necessity, but I still desired it nonetheless.

I will not call it an apology as that would be a slight and something we have already discussed. Perhaps then, a "continuation"?

[ Will someone please help him because this is the stupidest way of saying, hey I still felt bad that I made you two feel bad when I exploded but feelings are hard so why not just write a blank check as a way of showing he cares!!! ]
