ROUND 6 - INTRO
[After so long a trip, you're all finally here. Taken through a hidden passage inside of the very mountain itself, you find yourself standing in front of a field of flowers, growing well due to the open roof above it. If you look up, you can just make out the shimmering colors off of the barrier - looking almost like the shine off of a soap bubble.
Try not to trample on the flowers as you approach the open, purple gate, where it looks as if someone is waiting for all of you just inside. And remember to wear your masks, now that you're here!
...Still, the sight of the yellow flowers waving in the wind....such a cheery sight fills you with determination for what's to come.
Welcome to the Underground.
You have the universe to save.]

A ROYAL WELCOME
I am glad to see you all made it here safely. Welcome - I am Toriel, Queen of the Monsters...though right now, I am also the caretaker of the Ruins. I am here to help all of you Monsters -
[BIG, OBVIOUS WINK HERE]
- acclimate to your new home. Since all of you must be worn out, you should stay within the Ruins for today - and I can also answer any questions you might have about the Underground. My home is rather close, and I can easily offer it to sleep in, though you might have to sleep on the floor...
[She coughs a bit embarrassed, before suddenly seeming to remember something.]
Ah, but, one more thing - please try not to harm any Monsters here. Most of them are kind, gentle folk who sometimes do not realize their own strength. That being said, as you are all Monsters - [WINK WINK WINK] - they should settle down if you speak with them.
Any other questions?
((As bolded, please have your characters only remain in the Ruins for right now! We'll open up the Snowdin area on sunday.))

I have a few, but I'll start with the easiest one.

We'll do our best. This group is made up of incredible folk, and this is not their mission. [ ... ] How have...things been?

If the option is to sleep on the floor, can I just take that now?

Re: A ROYAL WELCOME
Thank you, your maj- Pardon, Ms. Toriel. Am I correct to assume we'll be discussing business once everyone else recovers?
[He see you, floppy noodles]
Is there anyone else residing here besides you, so that we do not startle anyone?

If we can talk to them, that is certainly the better choice, yes. That being said, considering that we have heard that something unusual is being summoned inside here... Has anything unusual happened in the past few months?
[...Actually, that might be too short a timespan, considering that the investigation began before she was pulled out of the time freeze...]
...Actually, rather than a few months, it would be better if we were to cover a span of a year or so.

[Fukawa takes the opportunity.]
[There's the gloomy girl who's been hanging around who tries to get everyone attention by coughing, loudly]
Ahem... A-HEM... Ahaakch! AAHAAHEEMHACK!!!
... [...A slight gulp.]
O-Okay, you all seem to know each other, and this is my first mission, so I'm going to introduce myself. I'm... F-Fukawa, Touko.
But, that's not what I have to say. I want to let you know you're also going to be working with the other me. The real agent is my split personality.
[There's a long awkward pause as she tries to decide if she wants to say anything else before chickening out.]
...I'm letting you know this so you don't freak out. --Too much.
A-Anyway, that's all!!

m...mod ping? just in case.....
In fact, she seems to be shaking each one as she picks them, calling out:]
... Hello? Are one of you the flower monster that I was told about?
[Regardless of the results, however, she does plan on making a flower crown, which is... kind of strangely uncharacteristic for her - at least, for people who might know her, anyway.
Although she won't be wearing the flower crown herself. She's planning on just wearing one flower.]

Of course, he has his mask on his hip too, just in case. If anyone wanders in: ]
I think I could pull off a pretty decent Tomb Raider, yeah?

Anyway. The obvious thing to start with is, of course, obvious things. Specifically, she's going to be trying to decide whether these ruins stand out as looking like they're the ruins of anything in particular.]

at one point he can be seen hovering by toriel's home, pacing to and from like he wants to go inside but is...too nervous to? maybe this is a mistake--no, this is definitely a mistake and he shouldn't have come to this mission what was he thinking!?
and later on, he'll be in the fields. not investigating, but looking up at the clear sky of the above world. his expression is melancholic, but if he notices anyone, he'll give them a small smile. ]

SOS: calling for a healer
This sure happened, which means that after Flowey leaves, she can't help but breath heavily. There's a lot of pain and she can feel like she's edging closer to death by every ticking second.
She's screamed once, but she'll do it again, because she can't move from where she is, her hands trembling.
So, if anybody is near the vicinity of the field, they'll hear a loud scream-]
Help!!

PIE TIME
Eventually, when everyone settles in, Toriel gives everyone a slice of Butterscotch-cinnamon pie.]
I know you have all had an exciting day today, so I hope you enjoy! I would normally make Snail pie, but I thought this would be a better introduction to the Underground.
Oh, let me explain - one slice of pie should be more than enough to fill you up and heal any injuries you took while exploring - it is Monster Food, after all!
[And, indeed - it's a Complete heal of both HP and any magic reserves they might have...if they don't negate magic, that is.
...If they do, that pie slice is just going to vanish the moment they hold it or bring it to their mouths.]
Do enjoy it, and rest up for tomorrow. Oh, I also have scarves for you to take on the trek to Snowdin - there will be a clothing store there for you to get more appropriate clothing for the weather in town.
[With that accomplished, she'll go to sit down on a comfy chair in front of a fireplace, humming as she reads from her book.]
Re: PIE TIME
[While he doesn't really need to eat, it would be rude to decline, and the combination was curious. He takes a bite, and his eyes immediately snaps open]
Oh.

WELCOME TO SNOWDIN
The walk is relatively uneventful - you do tend to keep bumping into a bunch of different dogs along the way, though that last one gets a little weird if you keep petting them for too long.
But, finally, you reach Snowdin - a quiet looking, snowy town. The inn nearby quickly opens its doors for everyone, the Innkeeper happily talking to them. Perhaps it might be a good idea to talk to the innkeeper more?
Still, as they put their stuff in their rooms and come back onto the snowy streets, they'll notice a man standing near the decorated fir tree in the center - One that should look familiar, with an eye catching cape. And he's talking to what looks like a short skeleton Monster with a permanent grin, who is...standing there in pink slippers????
Either way, it seems like you've found Moriarty, at least. But then, where's Red....?
Maybe you should get situated in the area, first. Or go talk to them...?]
MORIARTY
[Once the mass crunching of feet become too hard to ignore, Moriarty turns around to face everyone - his eyes widening slightly before he turns to his conversational partner.]
Ah - it appears the Monsters Her Majesty were talking about have arrived. We'll have to continue our conversation another time.
[With that done, he strides forward, a smile on his lips as he gives a polite (victorian) gentleman's bow.]
I extend my greetings towards you, new Monsters. I've no doubt you're settling in, but I must introduce myself. My name is James Moriarty, and I am, very clearly, not a Monster - but I assure you, I have no intention of doing harm.
Now - I must say that I am staying in the Ruins, so if you would like to converse with me at length, I would ask that you find me there.
...Still! I'm not opposed to small talk, so feel free to chat with me when you see me.

INFORMATION
Well! Now that we are all here, let's get down to business, shall we?
I know the most pressing issue on some of your minds is the safety of a certain Thaumiel, so I shall make it brief - Red is perfectly fine, and at the moment, safe. However, I cannot divulge her location at this time.
Secondly, I assume you all have gotten information of something much larger than this world being attached to it? I can confirm through our preliminary calculations that that being is indeed somehow attached to this fragment. However, we cannot tell who, if anyone, is summoning it - or if it naturally is attracted to this for some reason.
[He gestures at the math around them.]
All of this is in order to keep off the Eyes currently watching us - even if it is this being outside of this world, or it's potential 'Master.'
[He opens his mouth, as if he's going to say something else...but then ultimately closes it with a shrug.]
That is all the information we have been able to gather at this time. I can attempt to answer any questions you may have.
