FINAL CONFRONTATION.

[foundationmods]

The Winchester House looms before you, the barrier that kept everything in - the time stop that Dog placed over the area - now thin as a single pane of transparent glass, Solomon still clearly outside the house frozen in the same position he was on the tapes.

The minutes tick by - and the barrier slowly gets thinner and thinner, close to falling.

You have seen everything - the events of the past. You have also come up with your own ideas of what to do from here - how to save your fellow 6350's lost to the curse, and defeat the Curse itself.

There is no one left alive in the house.

But, at the end of all of this...

There will be a wrong righted.

[Cinque is going to be greeted by a rather miffed Frisk.]

It's been weeks! Why haven't you guys been updating me on your progress?

[finalring]

[ as soon as he hears that, cinque won't even be given a chance to respond as he'll yank the phone. ]

Frisk?! Is it you?

[foundationmods]

[WELL. That sure changes Frisk's tune.]

Solomon? They actually found you?

[They'll be happy in a moment, right now they're still in shock. After finally checking that voicemail last week, Frisk had been sure that Solomon was dead.]

[finalring]

Yes, they did! O5-1...he stopped time. He didn't let me die, for some reason but...the 6350s...they found us.

[ his voice is cracking as he speaks, but he is smiling. ]

I thought I'd never get to hear you again. I'm so sorry.

[foundationmods]

[His voice isn't the only one cracking here, honestly. Frisk is in tears on their side of the phone.]

You idiot...what are you even sorry for? I'm the one who told you to do it, aren't I? I said "go be a human for a bit, you'll like it!" It's all my fault, not yours.

I didn't even get your message from before. I messed up a lot of stuff while you were gone.

[finalring]

I was the one that forgot what I was supposed to protect. I was the one that forgot how to be human! Things were broken since so, so long ago, new kid--and I didn't realize it! I was supposed to be the one leading the Foundation, and I failed. I failed humanity and I failed the rest of the leadership.

[ he's trying not to sob here, but it's really hard. it's difficult to keep his emotions inside when they're this raw and painful, each regret stabbing into him like a knife.

but he's still smiling despite the tears, because with all that said and done, there are still good things to celebrate--a silver lining in every storm cloud. ]

But you know what? Even if it was horrible-- I wouldn't take a second of it back. Everything I learned and experienced...I'm so grateful for it! I'm so glad you made me make that wish. I don't blame you at all. I couldn't ask for a better friend in this world.

[foundationmods]

It's been 500 years and you're still calling me 'new kid'?

[That's about all they can weakly protest in the middle of these Feelings. Especially since their words turn a bit sadder as they make a confession:]

You- You wouldn't be saying that if you knew what's being going on. I...I got super-mad. You were gone, and then there were reports of an XK-class event, but nobody could remember what it was, but a whole team had disappeared...I just...I assumed the worst. I thought it was all their fault, that they almost destroyed the world on purpose. And then you weren't there, and I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't remember why you weren't there...

I...I wasn't really nice to them, you know? You've seen me when I get mad, you know what it's like. I can't even blame Asgore for it, I was just as mad as he was. And I took it out on them. All of them. Lots of them died, because I was angry. You wanted me to protect them, but I did the opposite of that.

[finalring]

It's okay. It's okay.

[ is it really? perhaps not. perhaps his wish was never fulfilled because it had come too late. solomon didn't know, and there was no way to really find out at the moment. perhaps later he could ask if gilgamesh's prophecies had stayed true, but not now.

all he cared about right now was comforting his friend, even if he wasn't the best one to do it. he was still sobbing into the phone, for starters. ]

We'll fix it together. You know I have O5-1's support and we can wrangle O5-3 and 4 if necessary. He...O5-1...he apologized to me. Can you believe that? I think he wants me to make a choice--if I want to stay in the Foundation or leave and lead a normal life. But I've decided that I'm staying. That way, we will be able to change things for the better...no matter how long it takes or how difficult it will be.

[foundationmods]

...he did?

[That's quite the shock to hear, as is the rest of that.]

Okay. Get back to me- back to all of us, and we can try to fix it.

And...thank you. For being my friend, and having faith in me. In us.

[Teamwork makes the dream work, or something like that. But for the first time in a while, Frisk honestly feels like everything is going to be okay.]

[whirlingmace]

[ your jail time has just been lengthen.

No no it's fine. She'll let him have her phone. Just going to hold on to his other arm though as she watches everyone else. ]
