[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.

...no, not right now. I, um, bought a cute toy robot dog, and was going to start with that, after we got back. But I don't want either of them to get stressed out, right now.

[She can't be invulnerable or inconspicuous anymore, and she knows in her bones, if anything happens to her they will both go unhinged in their own special ways, even if the time-loop means they get her back. She can't add to that stress.]

Please! Feel free. It's a work in progress, but I hope it helps.

[He takes out his notebook, it seems he brought a grid-based one, and starts meticulously copying in his own firm, steady hand]

Tell them to get me, I can distract the dogs easily. And this is most helpful, I've been doing my own notes, but seeing others and having a physical map will help fill in the pieces.

[accessorytomurder]

[She offers some colored pens, highlighters, and tab strips, if he wants to make use of them.]

Ah... um, even just you might be pushing it, for Xian-kun. Osamu just, uh... likes to be a bully. ...I also think we should maybe take notes on 'sequences' and 'patterns' in case they change, later.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Thank you.

[He'll make use of them, dropping his voice to a whisper]

Ah, right, I should move this so he doesn't see me as one. And I noticed that about Mr. Dazai... I can tell you the mess in here is probably the result of that argument we heard on Monday - the dogs seemed rather clueless about it.

[accessorytomurder]

I see...

[She takes a long sip from her mug, mulling that over.]

It... didn't work on the last mission. But. Did... did we want to try a curfew, this week?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Well... Miss Inaba and I had discussed if we could make it so no one can take action during the night....

[He trails off]

[accessorytomurder]

But that puts the enforcers at risk. Doesn't it?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Well... more like tying them in place, but there might be other means.

[accessorytomurder]

[Her voice goes very, very soft; a murmur that doesn't drift past the two of them.]

...if something happens, at least, we'll only be treated with the suspicion of 'surface monsters,' right?

[improbablenotimpossible]

[His voice had been lowering]

Yes, if things go the same as before, I feel if possible we need to keep away from that place if all possible.

[accessorytomurder]

[Her expression would be terribly grim, if she wasn't such a sweet-faced girl.]

It rarely if ever happened in the exact same place twice. In my experience, at least. But what came after the... discoveries... that was always identical.

[improbablenotimpossible]

That's what I mean - the trial room, there's something about that liquid...

[accessorytomurder]

Colors have a lot of meaning here.

...I... think if we see it again, it'll be a little more purple.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[A brief wince crosses his face at that, before he gathers himself, ordering tea]

That seems quite likely.

[accessorytomurder]

...and working backwards from that conclusion, there are... a lot of other SOULs that have been... you know.

[improbablenotimpossible]

... We need to learn about that place.

[accessorytomurder]

Toriel might be our best bet, but... well, it's difficult line of inquiry to just open up.

[improbablenotimpossible]

She might wonder how we know about it in the first place, and I do not think she has intentional malice, there is most certainly a history to this place.

[accessorytomurder]

Even if they weren't wrong, they all thought he was to blame from the start, just because of what he was.

[She wishes she could say more about 'him'.]

There's a history there, too. And it's one we don't want to be on the wrong side of, if we want to make any headway.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Yes... Undyne made it clear earlier that week she did not want him around.

[He exhales, his fingers lacing together]

And I don't believes it's a concidence that entity used him.

[accessorytomurder]

[She tugs at her ponytail, an oddly preening motion.]

I think we need to prepare for the possibility of certain facades... dropping, sooner or later.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Yes - that is possible, we need to think of alternatives to not look quite,

[He just gestures]

we should bring this up with the group.

[accessorytomurder]

...well, as I've said to somebody here, completely honest in all respects--

[She taps her chest.]

I am a ghost, in an artificial body. There's one of those who used a robot one to try and be a star, down here.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Most of us technically are - though convincing them all...

[He murmurs quietly]

[accessorytomurder]

It was easier when I had my ability, but...

[She drains her mug.]

We could say that's why our SOULs have their... little quirks.
