[CONTINUE + 3] 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. 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.]

SANS...HE WAS BORN WITH EXTREMELY LOW HP AND DEFENSE. HE ONLY HAS A SINGLE POINT IN EACH! MAMA - MYRIAD - HAD THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT AS BADLY AS SANS. HE ALWAYS DID TAKE MORE AFTER HER THAN I DID. HE'S A BETTER FIGHTER THAN I AM, BUT I ALWAYS WORRY THAT, ONE DAY...

[He pauses.]

WHEN OUR MOTHERS....FELL DOWN...ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO, IT WAS HARD ON BOTH OF US. HE STARTED SLEEPING MORE, BEING LAZIER....I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO I JUST TRIED TO GET HIM MOTIVATED. ...I DON'T THINK IT WORKED AT ALL.

[Papyrus looks down at his hands.]

AND NOW...I KEEP FEELING THAT I'M JUST FORGETTING TOO MUCH. THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING ELSE, SHOULDN'T THERE? WHO AM I FORGETTING? I DON'T KNOW....AND NEXT WEEK, WILL I HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMEONE ELSE IMPORTANT?

...WHAT IF SANS....?

Papyrus. [ once papyrus is done explaining, solomon will cut in, his tone firm. ]

We will do everything we can to make sure that you don’t forget Sans. It will be okay.

[ and you know what. it’s his turn to pull the skeleton into a hug. ]

[Ren steps back as Solomon steps in, since while Paps is Tol he is all bones so there's not much for two grown men to both hold onto there]

I have a friend on the surface... her mother fell down really young. She was the same way for a long time afterward... but she was able to recover with time. I know... as long as you keep being there for him Sans will too.

[He'll return the hug, tearing up again.]

THANK YOU...BOTH OF YOU.

...COULD YOU - OR SOME OF YOUR GROUP - COME BACK HERE LATER IN THE WEEK? I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO GIVE YOU, BUT I NEED TO FIND WHERE I PUT IT.

[He sniffles, before-]

OH, AND...YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP UP THE FAN CLUB THING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. THOUGH I WILL STILL BE MAKING ALL OF YOU FOOD! IS THERE ANYTHING YOU AND YOUR GROUP ESPECIALLY WANT TO EAT THIS WEEK?

[finalring]

Of course we'll come back. We'll give you some days to look for it.

[ he smiles at papyrus, nodding towards ren. ]

And we'll keep it going. Because... because you're our friend. [ a huge part of solomon didn't want to say that. he doesn't want to admit that, in fear of losing him in the later weeks. but ren is clearly papyrus' friend...and solomon thinks it'd be too cruel not to consider him that as well. ]

Food... I don't know Ren, any ideas?
