[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?

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.

[lovecolored]

I did call it a wimp and dare it to come down and kill me with its bare hands...

[lovecolored]

--hey!

[ wait a second Gil didn't now what she was screaming about ]

It responded to me because I was challengin' it to its face, not because I was bein' pathetic.

[sageking]

[ He'll smile, slightly amused. ]

Maybe you seemed formidable to yourself. But, how do you think it looked to a creature that's been mocking us for the past three or so weeks...?

[ugly_split_ends]

And you'd know because it happened to you, first...

[sageking]

That's right. Though, to be fair, I'm not exactly the first one in our group who's experienced such things...

[ ...He'll direct his eyes over in Sherlock's direction. ]

[ugly_split_ends]

...Hehehe. So you'll just freely admit to being pathetic? Unexpectedly honest.

[sageking]

Of course not, impudent girl.

I'm simply agreeing with the fact that it considers us to be pathetic under its conceited gaze.

[ugly_split_ends]

Yeah, yeah. Is it my imagination or are you more soft-spoken when there's a group around? Coward.

[sageking]

If you desire for me to call you trash in front of the others, I can.

But I've no interest in engaging you more than I need to. We're supposed to be attempting to figure out a solution to this problem. Or are you so preoccupied in trying to impudently go up against me that you've lost any desire to properly peruse answers to this mess?

[ugly_split_ends]

Yeah... that's a weird thing. I expect you to call me trash. I expect everyone to call me trash. I won't even argue. Why would I? I am detestable. A-Anyone can tell that just by looking at me! [A deep hiss of a breath.] But, it seems accepting one or two 'friends' suddenly makes me care when it happens to other people. Especially from a bully like you!

Leave Marisa alone!

[sageking]

[ He'll just...stare.

It seemed something about this has shocked him? ]

2/2

[sageking]

[ ... No, there's something happening. It's a chuckle, perhaps.

Nope, he's absolutely going into a fit of laughter. That's what is happening now. ]

[ugly_split_ends]

W-What... you think it's funny?

[She's not too unnerved, but it isn't what she expected.]

[sageking]

Hahaha! Your declaration...

[ Wheeze...he's still laughing. ]

...You dare to defend someone else, which is even unnecessary in this situation, while denouncing yourself. [ In between more bouts of laughter. ] It's ridiculous.

[ugly_split_ends]

A-And?? It's not like I'm looking for your approval.

[sageking]

[ He's still laughing, sorry.

...Though it finally died down a little at some point. God, that was good. He hadn't laughed like that in a while. ]

Foolish girl, whether or not you seek my approval has no bearing on how amusing your silly words were.

[ugly_split_ends]

...I don't even know what you found so amusing, but I d-don't care. I just hope you swallow y-your tongue and choke.

[sageking]

[ Chuckle ]

Too bad for you that won't be happening anytime soon.

[ugly_split_ends]

Hm... The bright side is that means something worse could happen.

[lovecolored]

[ ..............ah, her heart. struck by the friendship arrow. She's legitimately touched. ]

Hey, hey--it's fine. He's just a dick, ze.

[ugly_split_ends]

He... he's a lot more than that! He's like an empty void that no amount of empathy or appeal will s-satisfy. He cares only about his own ego.

[Was Fukawa the best person to be making these judgments? ...Maybe not.]

A-And... you shouldn't be kicked when you're down.

[romancekiller]

It responded to you?
