[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.]

... okay. [Chuuta says, like he's waiting for something to go very wrong.]

[le_mat]

If you had the option of being separate from Drew- like if it was safe for you both and there was no danger that needed your powers... is that something you'd want?

1/2

[homeecspacecop]

No! [He says, right away, one hand going to the center of his torso like he can protect the alien somehow. Like Ren's a threat.]

2/2 cw: suicidal ideation

[homeecspacecop]

[And he does calm down, after a second. He still shakes his head.]

No, I wouldn't. Drew... to me, Drew is the most important person in the universe.

[Chuuta is the most important person to Drew too.]

I know.

It... it would be nice, to just be "normal", but I couldn't ever really be normal. Drew's like... half of me. That week in Camp when he was gone was the worst experience of my life. I don't think I'd be able to survive without him. [Not because of the physical reality that he couldn't survive without Drew, but because of everything else. ] I don't think I'd want to.

[le_mat]

I see...

I think I understand better now. I doubt I'll ever REALLY get it, but...

[He sighs, it's something]

[homeecspacecop]

I don't think anyone else could ever understand it, but... thank you for trying.

[le_mat]

Thanks for coming to check on me.

[homeecspacecop]

Nine would never forgive me if I didn't.

[le_mat]

Shit... Nine... we're supposed to be broadcasting back out aren't we?

If he saw everything... damn it....

[homeecspacecop]

... he probably did. I'm sorry.

Sorry, Nine. [Just... in case he's watching this too.]
