Week 0 || ACT: ATTEND

[foundationmods]

["We will tell you later," they had said. "We need to gather more information." Defer until later, let others investigate.

Truthfully, they had been hoping a solution would materialize on its own. That calling in a team for assistance wouldn't be needed. But time has passed, and the silence has only stretched on longer.

So, when the email comes, telling everyone of an important meeting, it might not be a surprise. After all, this conversation is one that has been a long time coming.

The two who have called the meeting- Solomon and Frisk- have prepared a meeting room for this occasion. It is set up not unlike a lecture hall, with several rows of chairs facing a whiteboard and projector screen. The two O5s are at the front, with Frisk going through one final check to make sure everything is working while Solomon watches. Both will nod to the arrivals, but neither will speak to them.

Once the last few who are coming have found their seats, Solomon will clear his throat to gather everyone's attention.

It is time.]

[Ren is pondering]

If monsters and SCPs, excluding us, are gray and humans are the only ones that have the colored Souls.

Honestly, it sounds like humans are the deviation, in a way.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He gives a quiet nod of agreement]

Humans are different from most beings in many worlds - often possessing traits no other group has, why would it be any different here?

[le_mat]

True, it's just weird to see it in such an obvious and direct way and not 'we're special cuz the writer is lazy'.

[homeecspacecop]

I mean, humans are about as boring as you get where we're from. It's kind of weird that they're special in other places, especially if we aren't in an anime right now.

[le_mat]

I mean... we COULD be in an anime right now. That wouldn't even be the weirdest thing we've seen.

[homeecspacecop]

They'd have to pay so many licensing fees...

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Sherlock gives a faint, sphinx-like smile]

Most writers don't grasp what makes humanity unique.

[le_mat]

[oh he likes that smile. He gives a wise nod]

Our sick dance beats.

[...Ren plz]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[A strange expression crosses his face, then suddenly the Detective starts laughing]

Yes, sick beats for the sake of sick beats.

[le_mat]

Look there's nothing like creating for it's own sake!

[Aka he Gets It]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Dog-san said something like that before, didn't he? That the world was made for SCPs.

[foundationmods]

That may well be. Monsters have existed for a long, long time. Humans less so.

[le_mat]

I see... I'm actually really curious about that. Not right now, of course, this is business. But... maybe some other time?

[He wants to ask so many questions: are humans off shoots of monsters? Are animals something separate? Can soul colors change through personal growth??? Tell him]

[foundationmods]

Of course. Normally This Child is the one who controls our shared body, but if you ask them they will let me have control. It would be nice, to have a conversation with someone.

[He loves Frisk but after 500 years the conversations have gotten a little stale.]

[le_mat]

I would be happy to talk about other things too. It has to be boring just hanging out with one person all the time.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Will also make a note to ask about this later]
