[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.]

Comments

[justonezero]

That's too convenient, though.

[He smiles, but it's an empty one.]

We couldn't talk to Red, either...

[whirlingmace]

[ Stopping their swinging to reach a little yellow, dino arm over to pat pat him. ]

Looks like she's also hiding. Maybe you could leave her a message?

[justonezero]

Maybe...

[...

Wait.

Looking down at his phone.]

...Do you think she'd come out if we played her music?

[whirlingmace]

Do you have one of her songs? I bet it's really pretty...

[justonezero]

You're listening to one right now.

[He'll turn up the volume a little more.]

[whirlingmace]

Oh! So that's her singing voice... I wonder if she would ever sing live?

[justonezero]

I think so? She used to be a singer, and sometimes she sang for me when we were training.

[whirlingmace]

My mother used to sing me songs... It won't hurt to try it out though! Maybe you'll find something?

[justonezero]

[Nodding.]

I'll try playing it around Waterfall this time... if we can get to Hotland, maybe I can try it there, too.

[whirlingmace]

I hope she hears it. Even if she might not be able to come out, maybe it'll help knowing she has someone who cares for her around.

[justonezero]

...Yeah.

[His head dips again, eyes watering a little.]

[whirlingmace]

[ Hopping off their swing before moving around to his back to hug him. ]

Let's go to the hut with all the funny math symbols on it...

[justonezero]

...Okay.

[whirlingmace]

[ time to take his hand and lead him there ]

[justonezero]

[Following! Gosh, what's it even going to look like without him?]

[whirlingmace]

[ It should look the same. Once they are there, she's turning back to normal before throwing her arms around him. ]

Cinquey thinks we should come up with a code. Something you guys can say when you think you found me so I'll know and can give you what I find.

[justonezero]

[Hugged! He's hugging back, although he does raise his head a bit at her words, tilting it thoughtfully.]

Ohhh, a code word, huh...

[Hmmm...]

What if we call you "Aoi" this time? Like, "Wait, is that you, Aoi?"

Or is that too weird?

[Because Blueski.]

[whirlingmace]

That might not work if I'm pretending to be other monsters. Maybe you can ask if I've heard of a monster named Aoi? I'll respond with I think I've seen one around the waterfall!

[justonezero]

[Nodding.]

I can do that.
