[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 s-see... so you're saying I'm so ugly, I should have a mug reminding me...

[le_mat]

[He snorts]

No, because it's really useful. It lets you be the best in the world at something for an hour if you drink out of it.

[ugly_split_ends]

Wait, really?

[PEERING AT IT.]

...That sounds like something you tell a little kid. "This is a magic stick that will help you learn math, but you'd better study, too."

[Suspicious little glance.]

"Something" is a pretty big umbrella. How does it know what to do?

[le_mat]

I'm not sure. The note said it's something the user picks though. If you don't believe me, Karen-san has one too.

Doesn't feel right to take your gift without offering a trade.

[ugly_split_ends]

S-Stupid... it was a gift. A gift is something you give without expecting anything back. If I wanted something back, then I'd say "This is a trade."

...I'm not sure what I'll use it for, but I'll take it. If you really don't want it.

[le_mat]

Oh, so it's a gift, not just something you were throwing away?

[He's teasing, but he will still give her the mug]

[ugly_split_ends]

[oops]

I-Is it my fault you resemble a walking trash can so much?! It's the same meaning as gifting a furnace with another bag of garbage! N-Nothing at all!

[le_mat]

[He snickers]

It's my curls, right? So slovenly, really can't tell the difference? Well, then I won't worry about it, since it's not important.

1/2

[ugly_split_ends]

N-No way! It's that bii~iig gaping open mouth you have! It just makes me think how fitting it'd be to stuff trash inside it!

[ugly_split_ends]

...

[...she just sighs.]

I'm glad you're okay.

[le_mat]

....

Thanks, Fukawa-san.

[ugly_split_ends]

...

Try using that mask sometime. Maybe you can blend in without any of them noticing? They might say something they wouldn't say to 'outsiders'.

Maybe it'd even fool the trials.

[le_mat]

Especially since Temmies are so.... interesting.

[He nods]

I'll use it. A guy like me is always plotting something.

[ugly_split_ends]

...

Is that a confession?

[le_mat]

.... to what, a crime?

[ugly_split_ends]

I've noticed when you're around, I tend to "lose time" a little more... Is it a coincidence, or are you trying "something" with Genocider Shou?

[le_mat]

... oh! Heh, nothing like that. I think she just likes messing with me a little. Not in the 'you're hot I wanna murder you' way either.

Apparently I'm 'cute' at best, which wow, still not over. But no plots or plans, promise.

[ugly_split_ends]

Ugggh. If you're really not doing anything, that's fine. I just don't want to think you're trying to... manipulate... my alternate personality, or anything.

...She's seriously a serial killer, you know.
