[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.

It's probably different for you because of your power, but... what do you think of everyone losing theirs?

1/2

[justonezero]

[/Jiiiiiiiiii.]

2/2

[justonezero]

So even Servants still have to practice?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Normally no - it's more as a way to pass the time, but with how I'm more or less brought back to a more human baseline, again I thought it'd be wise to keep myself limber.

[justonezero]

[Fair enough.]

Wish I didn't have to...

Waterfall

[cw_suicide]

[this is exactly what trenchcoats are for and why he's gonna just drape his over her shoulders without much commentary at all]

[accessorytomurder]

...?!

[She startles a bit, but her notes are undamaged!]

O-Oh! ...thank you. I went to school for design, but I've always been pretty good at compiling notes, I suppose. I like things neat and tidy.

[justonezero]

You went to school for it, too?!

[Whoaaaaa!!]

[accessorytomurder]

Oh!

[She blinks, and caps the highlighter she was finishing up with, before offering up a small smile.]

Thank you, Mr. Holmes. I would have totally forgot about it.

[D...Detective Holmes? Agent Holmes?!

...she's... she's going to go with 'Mister' until corrected, and apologize if or when she is.]

Have you made many friends, this evening? You seemed to be getting a pretty warm welcome.

[dereban]

. . . I wouldn't say I befriended everyone, but - I certainly did befriend who was important. If I didn't get through to John, I probably would have died sooner.

[accessorytomurder]

Ah... yeah, I was almost done with my degree, before... well. You know.

[foundationmods]

[ Guess what Sherlock? The shadow monster has two hands. As soon as he comes over, he'll feel the long fingers coming to pat him on the head.]

It is rude! We can handle it! We're adults. [ From Dogaressa. while Dogamy surveys the room with a wagging tail. ]

There was a brawl in here. Undyne wasn't happy with the mess we made.

[ Their ears all droop, while their tails cease wagging. ]

[accessorytomurder]

...hey Osamu.

[She leans back against him.]

How have you been doing, this week?

[cw_suicide]

[arms are going around her because in fact, he is pretty chilly too.]

Hi~ Mm, mostly staying out of the way of dogs and not being overly useful. Asking more questions than can be answered at this point, writing...

How about Hitoka?

[improbablenotimpossible]

[The wagging slows - yes, there was that argument on Monday - this must be the result of it, he glances back at the other hand as he's patted. Well hello.]

Oh dear, a brawl here of all places? I had thought it was peaceful, what happened exactly?

[accessorytomurder]

I'm...

[She sighs into his neck, soft and quiet.]

I'm worrying, mostly. Making notes, and maps. And, um. T-Trying to give Xian-kun a little more time with you, too.

[justonezero]

You befriended your teammates, too! That's how you kept each other safe, isn't it?

[justonezero]

All I was doing was staying home! No wonder you're so good at taking notes!

[cw_suicide]

I have noticed you being a little distant...

Is something besides the obvious wrong?

[does not understand?]

... if it's about what I said before...

[accessorytomurder]

My mother got me settled into good habits, early. And when I got to high school, I made friends who encouraged me a lot, too. I wanted to, um, to branch out from my comfort zone a little... so I became the newest manager of our school's volleyball team! ...I got a lot of note-taking practice, there.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Some drinks are pretty dreadful when cold.

[Like tea, he does not understand why the colonists drink that abominable butchering of tea]

And Mr. Holmes is fine, I am not too particular about how I'm addressed. I do tend to get along with dogs pretty well, so I suppose I naturally gravitate towards the guards here.

So you're keeping an up to date map, I take it?

[accessorytomurder]

No!

[She whirls on him, wide-eyed and immediate.]

No, absolutely no. No. What... what you said was sweet and wonderful. I-I, um. I just. I.. f-feel a bit... selfish. And, um. Guilty.

[justonezero]

That's great! Most of the time, when stuff like this happens, there's some kind of big mystery that we have to solve. It'll probably help us a lot!

[cw_suicide]

[oh, well. that's a relief but also now he's a bit flustered.... and still confused.]

Selfish? Guilty? What for?

You're probably the least selfish person I can think of.

[foundationmods]

[ The married pair look at each other with their heads tilting to the side. ]

I don't really remember what happened.

There was a lot of distractions.

[ And then doggo will speak up: ] Pat. Pot. Pet.

[ He doesn't have anything to really share because he's getting pets. ]
