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.]

[when have i ever been chill in my entire life--ok no vacation did help a little]

Hitoka?

[accessorytomurder]

...we still haven't seen his alleged doctorate, you know?

[He is a bad influence.]

[cw_suicide]

... I feel like pointing out that I'm used to working for sketchy doctors is not a point in his favor.

[finalring]

I have a doctorate, damn it!

[cw_suicide]

Post proof or retract.

Also is it at least in the right century? It has been twenty years.

[finalring]

Hmph. This century only has 20 years and I was asleep for all of them.

[cw_suicide]

So that's a "no, my credentials aren't up to date".

Don't worry, sensei. I know exactly how underground doctors operate.

[accessorytomurder]

Well, we haven't really 'worked' for him yet... oh, but come to think of it, I did get some souvenirs!

[Sorry in advance, Solomon.]

[cw_suicide]

--oh, right! The souvenirs!

[this is gonna be fun]

[accessorytomurder]

Yes, even the ones I told you to put back, that you thought I didn't know about.

[cw_suicide]

Ah, sneaky.

[accessorytomurder]

I just know you.

[cw_suicide]

[noooo how can you do this in puuubliiiic.

time to properly take a seat and pull Hitoka down with him.]

Careful~ I'll feel challenged.

[accessorytomurder]

I can take you.

[She pats his knee.]

I have a tiny toy robot dog you can't bully.

[cw_suicide]

[makes a face because dogs tho]

[accessorytomurder]

If you behave, it stays in the box.

[cw_suicide]

So cruel...

[also cheating.

but him behave. mostly.]

[accessorytomurder]

It's important to make allowances for your partner's preferences in a healthy relationship, right?

[Because he has so much experience with those...]

[cw_suicide]

[oh right. healthy things. time for leans]

Thank you for getting a robot dog and not a real one.

[this is what she meant, right?]

[accessorytomurder]

I, um. I meant the cruelty...

[cw_suicide]

Oh, like that cruel-to-be-kind sorta thing.
