[CONTINUE + 2] Week 1 || Act: mingle

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town once more, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, despite this being your third 'time' trying this monday.

There doesn't seem to be many Monsters here...or at least, you think there was more before? Huh.

Well, whatever.

You still have a mission - And with two trials under your belt, you're now a little closer to figuring things out.

...How much longer will this repeat?

[sageking]

Oh? And how exactly have you obtained such knowledge...of us?

[ His eyes narrowed. Gilgamesh didn't take such things lightly and it seemed he was the one asking questions here, so... ]

[lovecolored]

I'm gonna try talkin' to 'em. [ a beat ] Y'know, smalltalk. Maybe they can't tell little lady is here, either.

[ Marisa skitters away to some of the other bar patrons to chat some of them up. She doesn't ask about the clam monster but she does try to gauge whether or not she can try to see what, exactly, is making them irritated? ]

[foundationmods]

[The Jukebox definitely has a few more chill tunes - what's 'Lo-fi' supposed to mean? - but the Bar patrons definitely just seem irritable without any reason. Actually talking to them does seem to get them to calm down a little, but the main response is, basically 'I don't know why I'm irritated, but I am.'

The Clam merely 'blinks' at Gilgamesh, her shell shutting for a moment before she speaks again.]

* The Sea.
* It's beautiful, you know?
* Like how Waterfall's ceiling looks, but more.
* Incredibly vast....with shining crystals in it....
* Every crystal is a world.
* You come from the crystals.
* So you're Monsters from another world.
* ....
* ...I should go.
* You'll forget me when you can't see me anymore.
* Thank you for talking with me.
* Even if I can't remember who I am anymore...

[The Clam monster stands up, pushing herself away from the barstool.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Sherlock will try to remember that. So she can see the sea of fragments?

And he's not entirely unaware of what LoFi means - he puts on a chill-sounding tune - let's see if that has a positive effect]

[sageking]

[ He'll pause. He had so many questions but let's stick to basics before it uh, left. ]

...A couple questions before you depart.

When did you end up in such a state, and what were the circumstances surrounding it? And why are you so accepting of it?

[foundationmods]

* .....
* Acceptance?
* This is acceptance to you?

[You get the impression that was the wrong thing to say, as all the Monsters nearby suddenly get very irritated.]

* Do you think I want to accept being like this?
* I don't remember anything.
* Anything at all.
* Including me.
* I'm not even a Monster.
* I'm just something else.
* A little piece of someone who used to exist.
* Forget it.
* You'll be like me too, soon.
* Everyone will.

* So go FIGHT each other while you still have the chance.

[And with that, she walks off - bumping into a particularly nasty looking piranha plant-like Monster...who suddenly lets out a roar and initiates a FIGHT.

>FIGHT
>ACT
>ITEM
>MERCY]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Act!

This was going far too well to been true!]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Guess we have to act now.]

Remind me why we brought him?

[sageking]

I can hear you just fine.

[ He's right here!! The one time he made a comment he thought wouldn't offend anyone. Whatever the monster was idiotic anyways and he knew he disliked it for a reason!! ]

Hmph, what a nuisance it was after all.

[ Let's act! ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

No. You stay put.

[He hisses at Gilgamesh]

You helped enough already.

[sageking]

Don't be ridiculous. I'm stuck here with the rest of you for now whether you like it or not.

[ He'll glare right back him. ]

[lovecolored]

Good goin', dumbass. She's runnin' off!

[ THEY ALMOST HAD IT...........

ACT, she guesses, ugh. ]

[sageking]

Tch. So she did.

Considering everything, it's a miracle she hadn't caused this much trouble before.

[romancekiller]

Yeah, sure if you hadn't offended her then maybe this would have gone differently. [just when they were so close to getting answers too.]

[foundationmods]

[Act is hit, and:

>CHECK
>INSULT
>CHARM
>SOOTHE
>JOKE]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[A little too vague for his liking, let's Check this guy out and see how best to approach]

[lovecolored]

[ CHECK yeah ]

[romancekiller]

[let's go with check!!]

[sageking]

[ Check since he's stuck here ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[REST HEAD IN BOTH HANDS AND SIGH

and then CHECK]

[foundationmods]

[* VENUS FLYTRAP
* Actually eats things other than flies.
* Brushes their teeth at least 6 times a day.]

[sageking]

That's the issue with such creatures. They act as if everyone must automatically know what offends them and what doesn't.

[ He'll scowl. ]

Next time you fools had better stand up when it's time to communicate with such beings.

[ Then again if he had known previously it was such an important being he'd have been ruder. Maybe. Anyway lesson learned he's not chatting up anyone ever again (technucally that's not true but y'all know what is meant. ) ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Oh... hm.

This seems like a good time to take some notes. Gray eye-clam-head monster, other monsters didn't seem to be able to consciously see her, knew about the Sea of Fragments.]

[lovecolored]

[ * You'll forget me when you can't see me anymore.
* Thank you for talking with me.
* Even if I can't remember who I am anymore...

This conversation feels eerily familiar. Hasn't she talked with someone like this, before?

Miss Above Ground Human...
Thanks for spending time with me! ]

...hey, how do ya know we're gonna forget about ya?

[ No one remembered Koishi when she wasn't standing in their field of view, at first, but she was getting easier and easier to recall, these days. ]

[foundationmods]

[The clam was about to answer...but then gil ruined it for everyone.]
