[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?

[>SOOTHE

The monsters begin to settle down, looking a little chagrined at how they acted. The SPARE command is now yellow!]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Now to hammer the SPARE button!]

[sageking]

[ Just as he thought. Insolent children. Naturally, he'll SPARE them. Doing otherwise would be beneath him.

...

He's absolutely going to get screamed and yelled at for this and he won't enjoy a single bit of it, but he'll continue blaming that irritating thing who's probably at least erased by now. What a nuisance. ]

[romancekiller]

[yes finally!! now time to hit spare]

[lovecolored]

[ smashing that SPARE button IN THE FACE like a YOUTUBER WITH NO INDOOR VOICE ]

MISSION COMPLETE

[foundationmods]

[The Monsters are spared, and you've also spared Grillby from major damage in his bar!

As the FIGHT screen fades, the Patrons around slowly go back to their tables, mood much more relaxed and cheerful now.

Grillby is at the counter, and he grabs Gil's attention to the hamburger that's now fully made, mentioning that it's 'on the house' after handling that little kerfuffle.

....However.

None of you remember the cause of it, or why it happened. Karen's notes have become horribly jumbled, as if the words themselves were twisted around, and completely unreadable.

...You just remember it was Gilgamesh's Fault that it happened in the first place.

After a moment, the Royal Guard comes in, along with Undyne.]

Huh...You guys handled it already? Good Job.

[A pause, before-]

Well, I guess this means you guys can enter Hotland, since you handled this pretty well.

[HOTLAND UNLOCKED!]

Re: MISSION COMPLETE

[improbablenotimpossible]

What...

[He looks around, brows knitting before he turns and glares at Gilgamesh]

Least we got something out of... this.

Grillby? Can I have a bloody cup of tea?

[foundationmods]

[Grillby slides him over the tea.

In the reflection of his glasses, you see understanding.]

[sageking]

[ ...

.....

At least he got a hamburger and Hotland got unlocked now! Well, at least they can leave now too. Actually, that was kind of fun now that he thought about it. ]

But of course.

[finalring]

[ well, solomon heard about a fight and is now behind gil, looking concerned.

and a bit irritated. why does he have a feeling that gilgamesh caused it? ]

What happened here?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Someone decided to start a fight and we barely managed to calm everyone down.

[finalring]

Someone as in...one of us?

[ said this in a tentative tone, already feeling a headache forming. ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

Yes. A certain divine relic. I have no idea why it happened, but it did.

[sageking]

We resolved a brawl, peacefully.

[ ... That was apparently his fault. But, he's sure there was a good reason for it. ]

By doing so, we've been granted permission to go freely through Hotland due to the handling of the situation.

[finalring]

Why did this brawl happen?

[sageking]

That's a good question.

[ Undyne and the Guard were still probably here, so... when he didn't have a reason other than 'it felt as if I were the cause of it', it hardly sounded like a great idea saying so aloud. Even if he thought him being the cause had resulted in them opening up Hotland. ]

Though, I imagine there was a good reason for it. Regardless, what matters is that it was handled just fine, wasn't it? If you want to discuss this elsewhere for some reason, however, I wouldn't mind indulging you so.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't know. I don't want to know.

[finalring]

I can't blame you.

[ if anything, he empathizes. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

...that said, the fact that I don't know what started the fight, even though I was here, makes me think it must have been significant.

[romancekiller]

I don't remember the details of it except that someone started the fight. [she quickly seems to gesture over to where gil is before she continues] We were able to get them to settle down though before Undyne showed up so she said we can go into the Hotlands now.

[finalring]

Well at least something good came out of it. You have my thanks.

[ except gil. gil does not get his thanks. ]

What are you planning to do for now?

[romancekiller]

Yeah, I'm glad for that at least.

[she pauses for a moment though considering the question before she responds, her answer is probably a predictable response due to her profession as a medic] First I'm going to make sure the others are okay then since we have a new area open to us, I'm going to check that out to see there's anything there that could help us out.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[......................................

You know what? Karen feels absolutely no curiosity over what happened. She gets the feeling that the knowledge would only stress her out.]

Do you have grape juice?

[romancekiller]

[clarke is relieved that they were able to settle down the fight but when she doesn't remember what it was about or why it happened?

it leaves her feeling more than unsettled with it all and she lets out a sigh, eventually deciding on getting something to drink instead of giving herself a headache trying to think about what she doesn't remember]
