[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?

meeting!!!!!

[finalring]

[ wednesday comes around again and, like usual, solomon will round up the team and guide them to the math hut to chat.

he smiles at them, though it's somewhat strained, considering everything that has happened. ]

Thank you for coming, everyone. [ he'll close the door to the hut, turning back to them. ]

Well? What have we found so far in this week?

[le_mat]

Okay so… woof, so I have a few things to drop this week.

1- Solomon and I confirmed that Papyrus is aware of the timeloops. He claims Sans isn’t, though we weren’t able to really confirm it. He also knows now that we’re here to try and stop it, but not that we’re not monsters. He said he has something for us too, so folks should visit him… but keep it on the d-l… if that Thing realizes we’re getting close to someone I wouldn’t put it past it to snatch them up next.

And speaking of that Thing. 2- I was doing some experimenting with the UI with Chuuta and… it broke through and talked to us. Chuuta can explain how things looked on his end but for me it… mocked me for dying. Talked about how easy it was breaking my bones.

[He shivers and crosses his arms, but shakes his head, discarding the memory]

But more important when I told it I wasn’t afraid of it, it… called me a liar and said ‘Your Narration betrays you.’ before booting us out of the FIGHT. I have… no idea what that was supposed to mean. Or at least, anything I can think of scares the shit outta me.

[moonlightalter]

'Your Narration betrays you'...do you think that means your inner thoughts? Could this thing be able to read minds?

[Atsushi, trying to make sense of something meta when he's from a canon that does not run on meta.]

1/3

[le_mat]

Maybe...? If that's the case though we're extra fucked. But if it has that power that means it's letting us 'save' people at the trials, which is... bad.

If it IS our thoughts though maybe we can hide them some how?

[le_mat]

[trying just makes him look a little constipated]

[finalring]

'Your narration betrays you...'

[ he cups his chin, thinking. ]

I have a thought, but I also have no way to prove it. And thinking about it is neither pleasant nor do I think it helps us reach a culprit.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Sherlock visibly winces at the mention of breaking bones]

As others say, it seem to read your thoughts... and least from my understanding... it seems like it's viewing this like a game.

[homeecspacecop]

[A moment, as Drew repeats the conversation so Chuuta has the details.]

After Ren ACTed, the FIGHT glitched out. It called us "puppets", laughed at us, and asked if we knew what we were doing.

It... could be playing a game. Like, an actual video game and it's going back to the last save when it gets a bad end at the trial.

[dereban]

[...]

[Pretending that Himeko isn't like - 84 years late with no starbucks:]

'Narration'...?

It makes that feel like that sort of visual novel than an RPG...

[ugly_split_ends]

...

Well, if you were a character in a story, hypothetically... I'd take it to mean other cues.

It could be your body trembling, or references to the environment being cold.

[white_camellia]

I spoke with Undyne-san earlier this week. She seems to be aware of the possessions, and has asked us to meet her in the resort at some point this week. I intent to do so on Thursday, if anybody wants to come with me.

For the time being, I have used the cover story that we have been sent here to investigate them, in the hopes of finding a solution.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...actually, I need to go to the resort anyway, or at least have someone else go. There's someone living in the river house who says they left something behind there.

[sageking]

Do you now? I suppose I could come along with you, since it does sound like something worth my time.

[romancekiller]

Well that's good to know she's aware of them at least— I'd like to come with you too.

[soupervillain]

Can I come? I never got the chance to challenge her!

[lovecolored]

Oh, yeah, when I was screamin' at the sky the other day, I think that thing heard me.

[ said way too casually. ]

I heard somethin' start laughin' at me, afterward, but Karen was nearby and she didn't near nothin'.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen nods in confirmation.]

The only indication I had that anything had happened was when she reacted.

[sageking]

It probably simply thought you were so pathetic, it singled you out, and laughed at you in such a way only you could hear it.

[romancekiller]

It responded to you?

[dereban]

Nothing really major from my end, but -

I got the temmie in the village to go to college? I don't know if that really did anything, though, since they said they learned how to make something new for the shop, but... at the very least, there's that.

Also: things we have ten inventory slots -

And if anybody needs dog salad because we don't have pie, let me know. But myself and Solomon were thinking about checking the house to see if there was a written recipe somewhere. Since it might be a good idea to cook some food for emergencies.

I... also have some thoughts regarding some shit, but that's less "something I found" and more "theorizing things".

[improbablenotimpossible]

I'm assuming that you're not entirely sure on your theories just yet?

[sageking]

...Something we should bear in mind for the future, is that it seemed now able to control two individuals at once, in regards to our previous trial.

We should be prepared for something like that to occur more than once, especially if we assume it is because the creature has grown in power or learned to use its 'power' more effectively.

[finalring]

What are the chances that the entity is actively learning and evolving?

Re: meeting!!!!!

[ugly_split_ends]

...I haven't found anything.
