[CONTINUE + 2] 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.

...Again. The loop happened again, and you're here. Everything is the same.

Someone who was dead is alive again.

...The man, who's name you forgot...You've also forgotten what he looked like.

Not only that, But more monster names have faded from your memory.

Ghost? There was never a ghost in these ruins, or in Waterfall. You have no memory of them.]

Hopefully she is, since she's on the outside of things. There shouldn't be any really serious missions going on outside of this one, right?

[dereban]

Huh?

Ah - uh. Thanks... I was lucky, really...

[dereban]

Could be worse.

[Which is the answer that immediately comes out.]

... Or so I'd say normally. I kind of felt like shit during that trial, when we found out that Sherlock was the one who got possessed.

[justonezero]

No, but the missions she usually takes are kind of...

[...Rough ones...]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He gives a faint scowl of annoyance and sighs, gesturing with annoyance]

And not helping there is an absolutely dreadful TV show that's an alleged modern adaptation of my cases. If it were possible, I would sue that hack of a director for slander.

Though I do have at least the fortune of not having to follow another 'me' act in personal relations.

[justonezero]

Whoa, that's unexpectedly candid!

[moonlightalter]

[He gets that pause. There's a reason why Atsushi's own missions are usually around the full moon.]

I-I'm sure it will be alright.

[dereban]

I know. It's very uncharacteristic, right?

But... I guess I want to try being a little more honest. Although if I do wind up throwing in the towel because it doesn't suit me, well. That's on me. That means that I'll have lost. Although I'll take that loss with stride, having learned something from it.

[cw_suicide]

Mm, and the videos of the house, also...

[but he does look amused about the want to sue.]

Have you found an adaptation you did appreciate, at least, in concept?

[cw_suicide]

If you didn't ask for it, who would?

[cw_suicide]

[probably closer to the end of the song, he flops into the other swing.]

[dereban]

[Well, that's fine because she notices and cuts herself off before even finishing the lyrics to it.]

--ah, it's you, Dazai.

[cw_suicide]

Mm, it's me.

That was Inaba-chan singing just now, right?

[dereban]

It's not a recording of someone that sounds like me, that's for sure.

[cw_suicide]

There's always a possibility~

It was a nice song.

[dereban]

That's weird? Not that I'm one to talk - I have recordings of songs that sound like other people, and the song was originally sung by the person who shares my voice.

It is nice... but the song is also sad, too. But it suits me.

[clarke finds herself heading out there as well and it's not long before she spots ren, noticing how he is compulsively cleaning which is something that is all too familiar to her from her own habits and experiences she's been through.

it just means all the more reason for her to check in with ren though to check in on him so eventually she does approach him, while being careful not to startle him considering how focused he with the cleaning] Hey.

[ugly_split_ends]

...Good.

[she notices he's still got the poem.]

...I'd have felt guilty if the last moment you had existing was spent reading a simple paean I got to work on for five minutes.

[cw_suicide]

Something can be both sad and nice, sometimes.

I don't really have much preference for music, in any case. So it was interesting to hear something new.

[dereban]

. . . I suppose that's true.

Sometimes you need a change of pace, you know?

[cw_suicide]

Done it a fair few times in my life, probably~

[time to swing!]

[dereban]

That probably sounds like a lie!

[cw_suicide]

[laughs!]

What do you call going from being a mafia executive to a humble detective if not a change in pace?

[dereban]

Not a 'probably', but a 'definite' change of pace!

[She huffs a bit.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Lucky to be good at singing?
