[CONTINUE] Week 1 || Act: mingle

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town once more, 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, despite this being your second 'time' trying this monday.

...Though....are there a few less Monsters here than there were before? ...Nah. You must be imagining it.

You still have a mission - and after the events of the last trial, you want to do your best to stop whatever is causing this.

But, hey. You really do have nothing but time now to figure it out.

Oooh, I get it- smell is the best trigger for memory you know.

[he tosses her the bag]

Not my intention but just as good.

[ren what WAS your intention???]

library

[moonlightalter]

[Everything is indeed the same, but that doesn't deter Atsushi from finding comfort in those books. Today he's looking for stories on the war between monsters and humans, but everything he's finding is heavily skewed towards a monster's point of view. He should have expected as much.

But when he sees Gil there, he straightens up a bit.]

Ah, hello! Are you hear to read too?

[justonezero]

You should praise them for being willing to do the grunt work so you don't have to, your majesty!

[justonezero]

He sounds like a real interesting person, doesn't he?

[justonezero]

Probably not! The numbers wouldn't be right. But thanks for thinking about it!

[moonlightalter]

[Good, because Atsushi has found a very interesting book today: No Longer Monster.]

Hehe, sounds familiar, doesn't it?

[dereban]

Yeah. I mean, there's enough in here for me to use it both as a trigger and also for other personal reasons...

Which I assume was the intention?

[moonlightalter]

Hmm...what if we find a book of Sudoku and play that?

[Because then the numbers will be correct.]

[ugly_split_ends]

Of course it's good. I wrote it.

[No false confidence, there. She'll take the pages back.]

So... more detailed? Did you identify with the main character?

[ugly_split_ends]

...There's going to be another 'party' before this mission is over, isn't there?

[improbablenotimpossible]

They might think of something more practical...

[dereban]

Yeah. I need to get to know the others I don't really know as well a little better, honestly speaking - even if I'm not the greatest at that sort of thing.

[le_mat]

Maybe.

[Smirk]

Look, if I can't see Nine for a while I might as well play Cupid here and there to make up for it.

[dereban]

Yeah.

Well - tying someone up isn't the worst thing we could do.

[sageking]

[ Indeed, it's heavily biased, which he himself hadn't been surprised of (and had internally mocked when he noticed such things in what he had discovered before.)

He's not expecting Atsushi to be hanging around in here, though. He'll acknowledge the greeting with a tilt of his head in the other's direction and put down the book he had been looking at as a possible new reading subject. ]

...I am. Last time I had found something vaguely worth my time, so I had imagined that the same would occur again.

And have you? Or is it mostly rife with foolishness?

[dereban]

Ah, are you the new love guru, then?

I need your advice on a thing.

[dereban]

Possibly.

[ugly_split_ends]

...

Listen, I don't want to have a bad conscience because you let yourself get eaten by bugs, or whatever. At least sit up.

[ugly_split_ends]

Uggggghhhhh....

[le_mat]

You have my attention.

[he plops down, chin in hands]

[romancekiller]

inn;

[it is pretty late into the afternoon but clarke can be found settling down in the lounge with a notebook with a mix of pens and colored pencils with her doing one of the following things: drawing, taking notes or journaling. she might be a bit preoccupied but she's not opposed to company either]

waterfall;

[later in the night, she heads out towards the waterfall because weirdly enough being near the water along with doing a bit of stargazing is pretty calming for her to sooth her nerves with how restless she feels dealing with entire situation with her thoughts drifting towards thinking about her friends back home so you might wander by just as she is talking to herself] — hope you're doing okay up there.

[sageking]

Hm.

[ A small pause. He seemed to be considering it...? ]

I'll praise them for managing to get through that successfully and not getting themselves killed.

[ ...well, close enough. Kind of. ]

[dereban]

[Give her a second, she's going to lean in close to his ear and cup her hands as she whispers, in a low voice:]

I'm fairly certain that our Royal Guard captain has a secret lover.

[le_mat]

Oh really-!

I wonder if that's why she wouldn't come out to fight me earlier today... she was having a torrid affair!

[moonlightalter]

I definitely empathized with him and his situation. His situation was a tough one, and I can understand why he made the choices he did.

The only thing that made me question it was Francoise, she was so important to the story but didn't do much to help facilitate it. Maybe if George saw her and Albert talking at some point after the courtyard incident, to show how much Francoise and Albert loved each other? And that love could motivate George to marry Josephine instead of settling for Francoise.
