WEEK 1 || ACT: MINGLE

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, and there's so much to explore.

But, there is also that ever-looming threat. Still, it doesn't seem like anyone here could do such a thing as summon something to eat this world....right?

Well. You still have time to figure it out.

...In fact, you'll have nothing but time.

No matter how you say it, "mature" conjures images of a woman in her thirties, at least.

... Of course it is. Writing is all d-delusion. Reality can never live up to it. No... my theory is the more about real-life romance you know, the harder it is to write.

[dereban]

... Really? I always thought of it as like, early to mid-twenties.

Hmm, I thought it would be the opposite.

[ugly_split_ends]

That's stupid... what do you call a woman in her thirties, then? "Middle-aged?"

W-Well you thought wrong! L-Look at me! How many romances do you think I've experienced?! No one in their r-right mind would want a relationship with me.

[dereban]

... so.

You also think that your so-called 'Byakuya-sama' [spoken in the same tone that she did, earlier] is in their right mind if they wind up together with you?

1/2

[ugly_split_ends]

Hhhhhengh... D-Don't mock me! Byakuya-sama is special... he cares about me. I know he's waiting for me. He's just waiting for the special moment! All I have to do is show I can be the perfect underling... then the perfect romantic interest... then partner... then l-lover...

[ugly_split_ends]

Aa-ah...!

[Touko gets another spaced out look in her eye as another fantasy comes to her.]

Byakuya-sama... you mean so much to me... of course I'll be your wife. N-Nothing would make me happier... I'll serve you in every way... emotionally... physically...

Oh, a vow that I'll always obey you? In the bedroom too? If that's how you want it... ahahahaha...

[dereban]

[...wow, this is bad.

Like worse than what she has, that's for sure.]

Oooi.

Earth to Fukawa. Well - at the current moment everyone's worlds are kind of in a 'frozen' state, so 'waiting' isn't exactly an issue here.

[ugly_split_ends]

Huh? --Oh.

N-Not just like that! He's waiting for me to prove myself worthy of him. If I can take back an accomplished mission here, I'm sure to get some brownie points.

I mean, it's practically the same goal. The SCP Foundation is trying to save the world, and so's the Future Foundation. ...I think.

[dereban]

Well, I guess that's true... although it might be difficult to prove it.

[ugly_split_ends]

I-I'll just get them to write me a note or something! [...] It'll be fine. Parallel universe stories where it ends with the protagonist returning home with nothing but memories and a "The real treasure was the friends you made along the way," moral are just the height of pastiche. I won't let it happen like that.
