[CONTINUE] 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 -

wait.

Haven't you done this before? No, you have. There was the murder, the trial, the ending and the Darkness -

Any abilities or powers you might have had are now totally off, as if they were never there.

...Someone who was dead is alive again. And someone else....

...

What was his name? You've forgotten it.]

[dereban]

Do you want to try picking a fight with one of us, then?

Maybe that still works.

[homeecspacecop]

We'll FIGHT, if anyone knows how to get one started.

[improbablenotimpossible]

I can test it out - though be careful - A yellow SOUL's ability is to attack directly

[homeecspacecop]

Let's go.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[The man nods, time to get himself prepared]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

[foundationmods]

[MENU TIME!

Sherlock will see the standard Undertale battle menu, except it has Chuuta's description from the taken characters page. I'm not going to go into all the details of the menu because you guys know how this works, but here's the important things:

The [MERCY] commands of 'SPARE' and 'FLEE' are already in yellow, since this is just a 'friendly spar' and all, so the battle can be ended at any time.

The [ACT] commands are as such: 'CHECK', 'TALK', and 'Protect'. ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He focuses - [ACT], then Protect]

Go ahead.

[foundationmods]

[Nothing happens. He can hover over the option, but he can't select it. So the 'turn' doesn't progress, because it reads as him not selecting an option yet.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Guess he'll go Talk]

...How strange, I can't properly select the Protect. I wonder if it's conditional? If it needs a specific trigger to allow it...

[foundationmods]

[TALK works! And you guys can continue with the battle as you would like from there. 'Protect' will not work at any time though.]

[homeecspacecop]

[Chuuta's going to be going for that FIGHT button. Time for... an attack? Punching, if nothing else works.]

[foundationmods]

[Chuuta roll result: 4

Chuuta just. Fails helplessly at Sherlock without actually hurting him.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

Ah-!

[His eyes widened slightly as the attack was used. He goes to selects [MERCY]]

I think that's about as far as we can learn safely today.

[foundationmods]

[Fight over! Congrats on not dying.]

[homeecspacecop]

[Oh wow, Chuuta, that was a terrible punch!]

Shut up!

[Actually, he doesn't want to be here any more. He's leaving.]

[white_camellia]

...I wonder if Protect can only be used to protect others, rather than oneself.

[dereban]

. . . or maybe if we need other ACT abilities to unlock it?

Secure and Contain, maybe?

[S! C! P!]

[white_camellia]

...It would be extremely silly if that were the case.

[...Why can't I deny that as a possibility?]

[dereban]

We've been in pretty ridiculous situations, so it wouldn't be too shocking.

[oceanicbutterfly]

It had better not be Secure and Contain.

[She is now 100% sure it'll be Secure and Contain.]

[dereban]

You wanna make a bet on that?

[oceanicbutterfly]

You're kidding, right? I'd be more willing to bet that it will be. This universe is definitely that ridiculous.

[dereban]

I mean - I wouldn't bet against it. That's a losing bet right there.

[improbablenotimpossible]

That is possible, or it only protects against certain things -

[Oh, hold on - it's Chuuta's turn]

[white_camellia]

I managed to get some practice with the yellow soul last week as well: We seem to be able to shoot bullets from our soul, which can take any shape we like. At the very least, I seem to be able to shoot swords and flowers without any difficulty...

that being said, my experiments did quite a lot of damage, so it is important to be careful.

Also, this may just be a unique trait of yellow souls, but our shots can also be used to nullify an attack. If two bullets hit, they cancel the other out.
