Week 7: Fast Forward to 2020

[foundationmods]

It is done.

The last tape has played. All of the information that can be found from them has been discovered. They are free to re-watch the tapes, but nothing new can be found there.

The barrier will fail next Saturday. This is unavoidable. The barrier set by Tages will finally fall, and the curse will be free once more.

The only question is, what will those left alive in 2020 do to prepare?

Oh. Maybe we should try to cleanse the webs out. I know Jojo didn't like water.

[sageking]

Are you proposing the use of holy water, then?

[whirlingmace]

It won't hurt to try, right? I can cure him if we accidentally oops or anything.

[sageking]

Hmph. So now we've an option between 'exorcism' or using 'holy water'.

It's a matter of you fools deciding which you'd prefer to use first.

[houndumb]

I'm sayin' I can punch him first and that'd probably work!!

[WATER SOUNDS BORING let him punch Saphir in the head]

[sageking]

[ Oh my god, why are you like this Nora. ]

You punch him in the head...and then what? Give the mongrel a concussion?

[houndumb]

[He's literally just like this welcome to your first impression of dog. Not to be confused with Dog.]

I mean, I could punch him in the head an' the heart at the same time?? Anyway, last time I did that I just punched the magic problem out. That's all we need, right?

Who cares about a little concussion, ANYWAY.

[sageking]

[ Well met (??)

...But it seemed like it might do something after all. ]

Then I suppose we could add that as another option to the list. If you'd like to try to see if it'll work, then you may as well.

[ And like if Nora wanted to do that, he won't stop him. ]

[houndumb]

FINALLY!! I thought we were goin' to be talking for freaking forever!

Not that I need anybody's PERMISSION. Whoever you are.

[He has no idea who the fuck this is because he was busy having breakfast?? Sorry not sorry.]

[sageking]

I was vaguely entertained by some of this nonsense, but I've tired of it nonetheless.

[ Oh my god...well, there's a lot of people in this organization so he's actually not surprised.

He'll just scoff. ]

I am King Gilgamesh of Uruk—the one and only King of Heroes himself.

[ So, as you do. Now Nora had a name. If he'll remember it. ]

[houndumb]

I'm startin' to get hungry? We had to teleport to a whole other city and everything just to track this stupid whiny guy down! An' he won't stop whining!

[Seriously, Nora has a low tolerance for bullshit and the bullshit meter is rising?? Even though he's contributing to some of it?? Also they were literally in another state but also literally what is human geography.




Anyway there's a moment where he just squints at Gilgamesh.]

I ain't got any idea where Uruk is, so whatever. But you kinda look like a guy in the show...

[This is the guy who would get fooled by Clark Kent's disguise. It's him.]

[sageking]

Even after twenty years, some things don't change. Though for him it hardly feels like it's a surprise he's still the same.

[ Then again for someone like him, such a passage of time would normally mean little, but when you suddenly remembered what happened in a cursed house that gave you constant traumatic flashbacks and reminders, it put some things into perspective. Or something like that. ]

I imagine it'll be because of what I'm wearing right now. It's not something you'd see just anyone in, after all.

[ Fancy white jacket with the fur and black shirt made him look like a beautiful idol, he knows. ]

[houndumb]

I mean, I know some old farts who ain't changed over a couple thousand years pretty sure, so yeah?? The guy's like human or something, right, so that makes even MORE sense.

[Nora has no perspective nor frame of reference he has only been trapped in a house cursed by game shows and the spirit of Dazais past. F.]

... What? No, it's got nothin' to do with whatever the hell you're wearing, it's the hair! And the...

[WAVES LOUDLY AT THE REST OF THE BLING AND THE GOLD STUFF?? Honestly he doesn't have a very good idea but something pings his intuition (Nora he is literally the same guy with spiky hair, please). He's not even thinking of idols, just bad old VHS tapes so F Gilgamesh.]

[sageking]

He's still a regular mortal as far as I can tell.

[ What is with this nonsense with people being trapped in murderhouses? In fact that may have crossed his mind in a question at one point. ]

Oh? Well, it's true that no mere mongrel could match up to my appearance. Though, it'd be no surprise anyone was copying my style.

...Either way, you must enlighten me as to what 'show' you mean in the first place. That could mean anything in the times we're in, as you're well-aware.

[ Gilgamesh proceeded to think that Nora believes his appearance to be amazing and godly. Which wasn't it at all. ]

1/3

[houndumb]

Regular mortals are LAME.

[Just getting that out there?? Maybe one day they'll get into the nitty-gritties of murderhauses as a group aesthetic but also Unsure if that's a discussion he wants to get into with this particular bastion of deep conversation. Anyways.]

Wait...

[...]

2/3

[houndumb]

[.............................]

3/3 this is stupid

[houndumb]

AAAAH WAIT A FUCKIN' SECOND!!! YOU'RE THE DAMN MONGRELS GUY.

THE ONE ON THAT STUPID PURPLE SHOW ABOUT THE MIASMA AND EVERYBODY DYIN' AND STUFF, SAME AS THIS GUY.





[Yeah, it took him this long to get it. F.]

[sageking]

[ ...

He's looking at Nora like he's a dumbass.

Though he wasn't around when he first walked in through the door, there was something else to draw attention to. ]

It should've been obvious who I was when I introduced myself to you, fool.

[houndumb]

You got any idea how many people come through the shop?? And all the agents in the Foundation! They never end!!

[He gesticulates and bristles at the look because he knows it well (and probably deserves that, but all the same).]

'Sides, your name's too long and there's been more introductions in the past couple days than the last time I got stuck with the Fouundation! So there!

[RIP please don't let there be a situation where he has to actually address Gilgamesh by name.]

[sageking]

[ He'll chuckle lowly at the first three sentences, finding some amusement in that. Gilgamesh's opinion hadn't changed at all, because of course Nora deserved that. ]

Such is the life of someone dealing with this wretched organization, no? Perhaps you should start keeping a notebook with names to remind you.

[ The possibility of that being a thing had risen just by the virtue of them going to be heading into the house itself, rip Nora. ]
