ROUND 6 - INTRO

[foundationmods]

[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.]

I dunno what that is, but it's probably even higher level! 'Cause it's magic! You wanna see?

[ He draws out a golden pendant from around his neck. It glitters. ]

[lovecolored]

It's a super famous diamond necklace that's supposed to be cursed. Buncha people that owned it died while they...had it...

[ oh

oh that looks interesting

and is small enough to fit in her pocket

Marisa will remember this. ]

[soupervillain]

Oof. Glad I didn't steal that one.

[ tucking it back safely under his shirt where it's a good thing absolutely no one can get at it!! ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Well, he was in the back during this, but -]

Again, theft hardly makes one evil. Even good men may steal, when the situation calls for it.

[BASICALLY it's time to get philosophical.]

[soupervillain]

I mean, yeah, but I'm not talking about stealing a loaf of bread or whatever! I stole an artifact from a museum so I could turn it in to my bosses and get promoted! In my organization! My evil organization! Is this not getting through to you?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Hmmm...He'll have to try a different tack.]

Let me ask you this, then - You personally see yourself as Evil. But, then, what on that path are you willing to do? Would you be able to command one of your 'minions' to a mission that you knew they would most likely be captured or die on? Could you brush them aside without worry, even arrange their deaths to protect yourself and the rest of the organization without a second thought?

[soupervillain]

Oh - oh geez, no! Why would you even make me think about that?! I'd never put any of my minions in danger!

[ Giovanni sounds genuinely troubled by the idea. ]

Nothing's worth risking my minions' lives for! Nothing! I'd quit the Banzai Blasters before I ever did something like that!
