[CONTINUE + 4] 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 trial...it was...you remember only up until Gilgamesh was FOUGHT against, and then...nothing.

You feel you shouldn't try to remember anything beyond that.

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

...When will this end?]

...Then, we have a full rainbow now, do we not?

[sageking]

[backspacing]

...the soul colors might have something to do with it, yes.

What are the colors of the souls of those who have died?

[dereban]

... It should be blue, yellow, orange, green in that order. Purple if you include -

[spider.]

[backspacing]

So that leaves red and cyan, yes?

[dereban]

... Yes.

Which would be yourself and Drew.

[backspacing]

Then we know who to look out for on Thursday nights.

[dereban]

How are we going to do that, exactly?

If I'm remembering correctly - there was some sort of... perception issue that caused Chuuta and Drew to not be able to see anyone leave the inn. That might also be the case this upcoming Thursday as well.

[backspacing]

We still need to find a method to protect someone, but once we find it, using that method on just two people is easier than using it on everyone.

[dereban]

I'll try and think of something...

I have concepts in mind, but no way to implement them, unfortunately.

[She is putting her proverbial programming tinfoil hat on here.]

[homeecspacecop]

It's everything except mine and Drew's colors, right? Drew's cyan, and I'm purple.

[backspacing]

So, Drew is at risk, and I am at risk too.

[She considers this, and she nods.]

If we know the targets, then it's easier to protect them.

[homeecspacecop]

We tried protecting everyone, but when we tried to keep everyone in a room all together...

We thought everyone was still there, the whole night, but people left.

[backspacing]

Drew might be easier to protect though, yes? Since he is inside of you.

[homeecspacecop]

Right, you can't take Drew out of me.

I mean... it's possible, but it would kill me, and Drew would reset, which would probably change his SOUL.

[backspacing]

And given that the thing is toying with everyone here, I don't think it would want Drew to reset.

[homeecspacecop]

Right. So it's going to try to kill me. Or...

Or get me to kill Drew somehow.

[backspacing]

Either way, you need to be protected on Thursday.

[homeecspacecop]

And we need to protect you too.
