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.]

I...believe so. I apologize, but she went missing before I returned.

[ look he doesn't know that much about red. MAYBE THE OTHERS WILL HELP. ]

What was your latest vision like?

[foundfate]

It was dark- not Abyss-dark, but 'underground'-dark. And there were people there, standing around a...

[He frowns.]

I couldn't see it clearly. But there was a group and then I heard the singing, and then one of the souls down there shattered.

[le_mat]

...an execution. We've all seen plenty of those.

[justonezero]

Wait...

Then... is Red helping them execute people...?

[le_mat]

['Or being executed', he thinks but doesn't say]

Maybe- she had to do that in the Camp, after all. I doubt she'd go back to doing that unless she had no other option though.

[justonezero]

[We don't say that!!]

Red...

[finalring]

[ HE'S NOT LIKING THIS, THANKS. ]

...Did the soul have a color? Was it gray?

[foundfate]

It did have a color, yeah. It was purple.

[justonezero]

[Oh

well there goes any ground he might have had for "maybe she was helping with the execution" instead of...

...]

[finalring]

I think I might need another cup of coffee.

[ he is So stressed ]

That is far beyond what I could see...you are certainly at a level far beyond what I could reach. Thank you, Lord Watanuki. We will deal with the situation on our end. [ ... ] Is there anything that can be done to recover those fragments that were consumed, or no?

[foundfate]

No. What's gone is gone. All we can do now is stop this before too many more fragments are consumed.

[finalring]

Then that is the course of action that we will take. That type of power and precision is not one that many beings have, whether Monster or Human, so that may prove beneficial in finding them.

[ the question will be how to make sure this doesn't scale into something worse...

well, that's his job. not watanuki's. ]

Thank you. Take care on your end as well.
