[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.

[Chuuta is tucked somewhere back in the... librarby today. There's stuff to do here, always, but it feels like there are a lot of people doing things on their own, and Chuuta doesn't have anything to do. Especially not now, when he's back to being just a normal person with a voice in his head.

So for today, you can find Chuuta hiding away, sewing needle in hand as he embroiders something on a square of fabric. That's all he's doing today.]

[dereban]

[Well -

Inaba is actually looking for him, so him holing away somewhere is actually a good chance to actually get to talk to him, or so she'd like to hope, anyway. Of course, she'll keep her voice low as she waves, making an attempt at conversation.]

... hey, what're you making?

[homeecspacecop]

It's a map of Snowdin. [He explains, holding it out so she can get a look at it. It's exactly that, the streets and buildings carefully embroidered with tiny, particular stitches. There are monsters as well, standing outside their houses or playing in the snow. None of it's finished, but the ideas are all there. This is probably the only thing Chuuta's been doing for the past few days (other than getting kidnapped by Bratty and Catty).]

[dereban]

Oh, that's super cute.

I've never seen anyone knit before, so it's totally out of my element... but is this the kind of thing you find fun? I can't help but be a little curious.

[homeecspacecop]

[He nods, and finishes a few more stitches.]

Back home I did a lot of housework, but I really do like sewing and crocheting and things like that. What do you like to do for fun?

[dereban]

Me?

I dabble in a lot of computer-related stuff. I plan on majoring in engineering and specializing in computers and information technology in the future... although I also do a lot of reading and playing games on my off time. I've seen a lot of neat cross-stitches before, although it seems pretty difficult.

[homeecspacecop]

[Drew likes cross-stitches!]

Yeah, Drew helps a lot with working out cross-stitch patterns when I want to do something really detailed.

I don't play a lot of phone games, but I brought my phone with me so I can keep up with Neko Atsume and some other things. You're one of those people who likes gacha games, right?

[dereban]

Yeah, that makes sense. I feel like that would be a pretty useful skill, here.

[Personally speaking, anyway.]

I do, yeah - but I can't play any of them here while we have no access to the internet. Not like it'd matter, considering.

[homeecspacecop]

Well, we don't know what's going to happen later this week.

[justonezero]

[Peering!]

Hey, you really are sewing!

[homeecspacecop]

[Look at this map of Snowdin he's embroidering. Look at all the monsters he's adding right now. It's very cute.]

I am. I thought it might be nice to have a map with all the monsters we meet.

[justonezero]

It's cute! Do you usually make stuff like this?

[homeecspacecop]

I've been getting better at embroidery recently, so I wanted to try keeping a record like this. I usually like to make... little crochet figures [You made those at the camp! They're still in our room.] Yeah, exactly -- but I didn't bring my crochet hooks or the right kind of yarn with me on this mission.

[justonezero]

You can make figures, too? So cool! I'm basically limited to tech, and only if I can use my eyes.

[homeecspacecop]

I've had a lot of practice. If you want to learn, I can teach you after we get out of here.

[justonezero]

Teach me your ways, o master!

[homeecspacecop]

[That gets a smile from Chuuta that isn't quite as tired as the ones he's been giving up until now.]

Of course! I'll start you with something easy and then we'll work up to dolls!

[soupervillain]

[ So. Chuuta's the cops. That was a hell of a bombshell to have dropped on him a few days ago, and it's made rooming together a little awkward. They haven't really talked since then, but Giovanni's been trying to think of ways to approach him about it, because it feels like the sort of topic that ought to be breached eventually.

He's not actually thinking about those ways at the moment, though. He'd just wandered into the librarby because he was bored - there's not too much else for him to do right now, and maybe he can find a book about monster sports or something? Better than sitting in the room feeling sorry for himself, right?

When Giovanni spots Chuuta, his first impulse is to back away and check out a different section. He isn't ready for a confrontation right now, and it would almost certainly violate the librarby's quiet policy. But then he notices what it is Chuuta's doing, and his eyes light up, all complications between them temporarily forgotten. ]

Hey! You sew?!

[homeecspacecop]

[Things have been awkward, which is one of several reasons Chuuta isn't in the inn right now, sitting in the room and feeling sorry for himself.

He nods, with only slightly forced smile.]

I do. Do you?

[soupervillain]

Do I sew? Do I sew?!

[ Giovanni presses a hand to his chest, momentarily scandalized. ]

Of course I don't sew! I knit! And I'm darn good at it! You know if they got any pattern books in this librarby?

[ Yes, he pronounces both B's in that word. ]

[homeecspacecop]

I didn't look for any, since I didn't bring knitting needles or yarn with me. But Drew knows a lot of patterns. [Does Chuuta use his ten billion year old alien supercomputer symbiote to store knitting patterns? Absolutely.]

[soupervillain]

Oho? Another member of the Brotherhood of Knittery? You've gotta stop being so multitalented, guy. You're gonna make me look bad! And that's really, really hard to do!

[ Giovanni starts perusing the shelves, trying to determine if the monster Dewey Decimal System bears any resemblance to the human one. Does he have the number for the knitting section memorized? No, but also, yes absolutely. (746.43, for the record.) ]

...Ssssoooooo. You're a cop, huh?

[ His tone is casual, but his back remains to Chuuta as he speaks. ]

[homeecspacecop]

[Chuuta can keep going when it comes to multitalented housework things, don't test him Gio.]

Yeah, we're space cops.

[soupervillain]

[ noooo stop showing up Giovanni and his two talents!! ]

Uh. Hypothetically, if someone here committed a bunch of crimes that weren't in space... would you still, y'know, arrest them?

[ He scoots one leg closer to the exit, ready to bolt, depending on Chuuta's response. You'll never take him alive! ]

[homeecspacecop]

[You're not being subtle at all there, Giovanni.]

Hypothetically, if someone was an alien and committed crimes on a planet that doesn't have laws about alien crimes, then we'd arrest them.

But it's not like anyone has the same job here as they do back home.
