[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?]

[foundationmods]

Yes...Our Boss Monsters have died out, and we have no ruler. We are a race quietly awaiting our end.

[They pause.]

I'm sorry. For Monsters who made their way here from the surface, this must be horrible to hear.

[oceanicbutterfly]

No, it's all right. It's still... well. I think if the end is coming, it's better to be somewhere I belong.

[A statement that doesn't quite mean what it sounds like in context.]

--oh! I almost forgot. Are you the riverperson?

[foundationmods]

[There's a sad nod at that - before the Riverperson perks up.]

That I am. Is there something you need?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Actually, it's sort of a question of whether there's something you need. A friend of mine found this.

[She presents the paddle, finally.]

[foundationmods]

[The Riverperson takes the paddle, but...]

Oh? But I already have my paddle....Well, I guess I may have lost this one somewhere. Thank you. I'll head over to snowdin tomorrow.

[From this, it sounds like the riverperson will be able to help you fast travel to areas via the river!]
