[CONTINUE + 3] 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 fourth '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 three trials under your belt, you're now a little closer to figuring things out.

...How much longer will this repeat?

investigation...?

[dereban]

[Welp.

Guess we're also going to do some stupid UI investigations because that's just how this all works, apparently. But it's largely a part of plan GET TEMMIE TO COLLEG.

So - time to check the inventory UI first: we're checking how much slots we've got here because we're doing it.

We're going to be duplicating the dog residue until all slots are full.

It is only part one of today's long quest of the day.]

[foundationmods]

[Well, I guess now I have something to do while grinding the f/z rerun.

Inaba has ten slots, with slots taken up by any of her items she received while in the underground. She'll only have as much dog residue as she has open slots, unless she puts her other items somewhere.]

[dereban]

[Thanks for reminding me to actually do FGO--

But guess it's time to go to the inn and drop some stuff off; mostly putting everything away sans her knife and notebook, which should give her ten slots. Let's get to using this dog residue to make more dog residue and salad to its full capacity!!

Besides, given her plans, it largely should be a nonissue if her inventory gets filled anyway.]

[foundationmods]

[PLEASE USE MY SUPPORTS I NEED THE FP

You now have a full inventory of dog residue. it is *incredibly* sticky.

To temmie village?]

[dereban]

[Eski, narrating: to temmie village.

Me, in spite of knowing Undertale: no, we're doing the Actual Logical Thing and going to the store in Snowdin first to see if she can sell the stuff there.

Because it's closer.]

[foundationmods]

[They will not take your dog residue.

Really, who would? Also, they're not a pawn shop.]

[dereban]

[Hm.

What about the shop in Hotland?]

[foundationmods]

[Bratty and Catty absolutely refuse to buy it, calling it 'gross.]

[dereban]

[We took the long way around, but seems like the only place that's left is the shop in Temmie Village.]

[foundationmods]

[Finally, SOMEONE seems inclined to buy the dog residue.]

hOI!!

[Temmie offers 2g for each dog residue!]

[dereban]

Hey.

[Okay but she's not selling ALL the dog residue, you can't duplicate without one. But also can she sell the dog salads that come with each duped dog residue?

Also-

We're probably gonna be here a while.]

[foundationmods]

[...Okay, so how much money are you looking for here? Because let's speed this up/handwave.]

[dereban]

[Probably 2000g just to be safe?

Let's become rich.]

[finalring]

...You look busy there.

[ is he poking fun at you, inaba. perhaps. ]

[dereban]

I'm going to be very busy, thank you very much.

[Himeko answers with slight hints of sarcasm, laughing awkwardly.]

[finalring]

[ now he's actually curious. ] Do you have some sort of plan?

[dereban]

I'm trying to duplicate these to see if I can sell them. Then I can utilize that money for something.

Oooor we just get an unlimited supply of healing items.

[Because dog salad.]

[finalring]

I suppose that's one way of dealing with the fact that we don't have the pie anymore.

[ just saying that hurts him a bit. he sighs. ]

Planning to buy something?

[dereban]

Maybe.

I definitely would at least like the extra cash. Although I'm wondering... we could make our own pie, couldn't we?

[finalring]

I suppose we could. Though I thought you guys had had more than enough cooking with yesterday's competition.

[ he laughs ]

I've never really tried my hand at cooking. Maybe we can do that tomorrow?

[dereban]

That competition is dead to me.

[Himeko humiliated herself rather thoroughly in it - she is literally done in all senses of the word.]

... I can't say I'm a good chef, either. But maybe back in that house - there might be something? A cookbook, maybe?

[finalring]

If we have to do it again we can see if King Gilgamesh can show his skills to the public instead.

[ or publicly humiliate himself, but solomon has a feeling that it would not bode well for anyone. ]

A cookbook...do you think that someone that has done that recipe for a long time would have that? [ he sighs. ] I guess we would have to check the house.

[dereban]

[There's a bit of an arched brow at that.]

Do you really think he knows how to cook, though?

[He's a king from ancient times, after all. Which sounds like 'someone else always did the cooking'.]

It's possible - I mean, even if monsters live long, they'd want to pass down the recipe for future generations, right? If it's not in the house though, we can check the library.

[finalring]

Absolutely not. He is a king that is meant to judge only men and wine--but I believe that would make it even more interesting. Don't you think so?

[ he laughs a bit. ]

Well, maybe we'll find it, I think. Even if the memory of them has gone away...there will always be something remaining, right? Something that proves that they existed.

[dereban]

You're awful.

[But she's not going to disagree.

Her gaze sinks slightly at the idea of nothing actually remaining of their existence, but she tries to smile, pushing past it.]

...yeah. I hope so.
