thefoundation | [CONTINUE + 3] INTRO

[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. 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 just forgotten almost everything about him. Anything he did, or said....there's just a person-shaped hole in your memory now.

You know someone was there, and that he was important. But....

Not only that, But more monster names have faded from your memory.

...You're losing so much.]

[ After hiding out for a while (in Temmie village, spoiler, she went to Temmie village and cried for a long time), Marisa heads back to the ruins looking like she has plans in mind. She climbs onto the rubble as high as she can safely go, and starts...yelling at the sky. ]

Hey, asshole! You--You--whoever, whatever you are! You stupid thing! Stop fuckin' cheatin'! I'm sure this is real funny to you! Haha! Toss the people around like dice on a table!

But you're a fuckin' coward! [ raising her voice even louder, waving her arms in emphasis ] Pushin' us back to this same goddamn day every week! Takin' our powers away!

God--give us back our powers! Gimme back my magic, you stupid asshole! Level the playin' field for once in your miserable life!

[

* but nobody answered.

* Her screams were swallowed up by the darkness.]

[ The lack of answer is somehow more terrifying than if something suddenly popped out from the sky and struck her down. ]

Come down here and kill me yourself! Don't possess anyone! Use your own two hands! Or paws! Or whatever! Do it, you spineless shithead!

[ does uh. does someone want to get her down from here before she hurts herself..... ]

[

There is a voice in her ear.]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

[But then, silence.]

[ Well, that gets her to stop screaming, so mission accomplished.

She'll get you another day, gray-making-entity. ]

...

[just... watching from a little way away, without standing on any rubble.]

[ a screech in frustration and Marisa. flops over.

She's fine, she's just mad. ]

...Are you done?

[ peeking over the edge of the rubble pile ]

I guess.

... Do you feel better?

A little.

[ her voice is scratchy and she looks like she wants to cry again, but also, yeah, it was good venting ]

...

[A sigh.]

Come down before you fall and kill yourself. D-Don't expect me to carry your corpse anywhere!

You tell it!

[ She's about to reply something equally enthusiastic but then the fucker laughs in her ear and Marisa's face falls like she just fell in a tank of ice water. ]

That--did you hear that?
