[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.]

I... suppose that's true? It's just a little embarrassing, though.

[dereban]

And it wouldn't be a lie.

[romancekiller]

[clarke just nods though it does register with her why the voice sounded familiar to her] Oh. It is? I didn't know she sings.

[sageking]

I suppose all mongrels need to start somewhere.

[ ... ]

That aside, you're rather fond of that woman, aren't you? Is she something like a mother to you?

[justonezero]

You should tap into your inner shounen protagonist powers! Stay determined! Stuff like that!

[justonezero]

Whoa, return of an ancient meme!

[justonezero]

For a while, she didn't. But I think she started again after you guys got out of Camp.

[justonezero]

Like a mother?

[Ummm...]

Isn't that difficult? We're not actually related...

[dereban]

But I'm not a shounen protagonist, I'm a seinen protagonist. The idiot who's a shounen protagonist that I'm dating isn't even here.

[justonezero]

I'm not either, but you can pretend!

[dereban]

It's not that old. Besides, I bet the cake knife exists because of all the cake memes that have been surfacing on Twitter.

[dereban]

I'm not going to pretend that hard. It'd be too weird.

[sageking]

[ ...That's not the question he expected here, but alright. ]

Hardly. There are 'step-mothers' to bear in mind, and even 'mothers' who adopt or watch over children who are not blood-related.

[justonezero]

It's old by meme standards!

...Do you think Monsters know about that meme?

[justonezero]

It's hard to go that far against your normal personality, huh?

[dereban]

Even I have limits. I'm not the type of person who'll... well - jump in the face of danger if I don't have to. I only do things if I have thought it through a little bit.

[dereban]

Probably not?

But we don't know who left the presents in the first place.

[romancekiller]

Yeah, exactly— I'll save using it for when we really need it. [she doesn't want to waste it and she figures it's only a one time use type of thing for this]

[romancekiller]

I didn't know that but— that makes sense though.

[homeecspacecop]

We have to. Failure isn't an option.

[homeecspacecop]

That just sounds like it would be easier to ignore, but we can try it.

[homeecspacecop]

Nine would never forgive me if I didn't.

[homeecspacecop]

I am. [He's not, but he can smile nicely and nod and pretend he is.]

How are you?

[justonezero]

That's true... And they never disappear or anything.

[Hmmm.]

[justonezero]

So you're more like the person who keeps our hot-headed people on a leash.
