[CONTINUE + 4] 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, though now there's far, far less of them.

Is time running out for the mission? How many more loops do you have?

...You feel as if something is watching you when you're not looking.

MONDAY

[foundationmods]

MISSION...?

[foundationmods]

[When you wake up, there's a note on the communal table with everyone's breakfast.]

GOOD MORNING!!!

I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL TO MEET ME AT MY HOUSE! I HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED!! SOMETHING FUN!!

THAT IS, IF YOU'RE NOT BUSY WITH ANYTHING ELSE. IF YOU ARE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! SEE YOU THERE!! OR NOT, IF YOU'RE BUSY!!

[le_mat]

...Papyrus?

[Well, he's definitely going.]

[sageking]

[ He'll glance at it as well... well, he supposed he had nothing else better to do. ]

MISSION END

[bybonesbebybones]

[With all of them hitting SPARE, the fight UI vanishes, and the lights in the area flick on.

Papyrus holds up a hand -]

ONE SECOND, EVERYONE! I HAVE TO GO GET SOMETHING!

[And rushes into his room up on the second floor of the house. There's a pause, before he comes back out - carefully holding something in his hands.]

NOW, I THINK ALL OF YOU CAN USE THIS MORE THAN I CAN. I'M PRETTY SURE IT BELONGS TO SOME KIND OF ACT COMMAND, BUT THIS WAS ALL I COULD FIND. I FOUND IT NEAR THE LAB IN HOTLAND!

[He holds out....an 'A'.]

THIS IS A TOKEN OF MY AFFECTION AND TRUST FOR ALL OF YOU! PLEASE TAKE IT AND USE IT AS MUCH AS YOU NEED TO!

[ugly_split_ends]

[Fukawa avoided going out today and mostly stayed in her room. There were times you could hear her pen scritching and some you could not.]

[dereban]

[At some point after Papyrusquest, there is definitely a knock in Fukawa's door - specifically when she can hear her pen at work.]

[le_mat]

[It's when he can hear writing that he knocks]

Invest!

[le_mat]

[So after a fun and good time with Papyrus, Ren is out and about looking for parts. He has a list and everything! First, he goes to the Dump- though it's a little distressing being here after what happened to Yoshi, it's the easiest place to find loot. Next, he hits the Lab, though he doesn't go very far in, so not to conflict with later Lab investigations mostly looking for salvageable mechanical parts.

Last is [] and []'s Shop. He can't remember who used to be here, but an abandoned shop surely has useful stuff?

Later, in the Arts and Crafts area he goes over his loot: while his main goal is things he could fashion into new a Hookshot (such as a strong cable, metal he can solder into a hook, a retracting mechanism, etc) he also had his list of things he's looking for as well. Such as aluminum sheets, parchment, plant balm, yarn, tip clasps or clutter, and... liquid mercury???? Well, honestly he was probably willing to try and replace that with some other viscous liquid or such since he doesn't wanna get sick if he even COULD find that in the lab. But he'll snag anything he might be able to use or add to his metaverse debris in his toolkit

Most Infiltration Tools are too 'metaverse-y' to work without his powers, but maybe he can manage some Vanish Balls, Smokescreens or Lockpicks? Or even THE Lockpick....?]

[finalring]

[ well, after the whole thing with papyrus, solomon can be found in the libraby, looking over some books. nothing too special, but he will close his book if anyone approaches him.

later in the day, he'll be in the clothing store, browsing through the selection of coats. really, it just seems like he's trying to keep his mind busy in order to avoid thinking about all that has happened these past few days.

but after all of that, he'll be seen in the waterfall, watching the water fall with a flat expression. ]

Arena NPC?

[white_camellia]

[Well. While everyone else is doing their mission thing, Nanaka will sneak off to the Arena. She needs... To think. And for that, there is only one solution. She can hardly do ikebana around here, so she has to go with her other method: Swordsmanship.

She goes through her katas. Everything comes down to a single motion. Eliminate everything unnecessary and focus simply on improving this single cut. Simplicity is the true nature of beauty. She needs to focus on eliminating that which is unnecessary. She does not need things like trust, that never helped. She began to trust, and it caused her plans to start coming apart. She will not make that mistake again. Motivations and goals, those are what matter. She simply had to focus on the motivations and goals, and everything else would ultimately fit together.

Once she finishes her kata, she takes a deep breath and glances around: She had been here training so often... Who was still here?]

TUESDAY

[foundationmods]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen makes an early morning trip to the clothing store once again. Is there murder evidence here? No? Good. Time to go swimsuit shopping! Yes, she already has one, but that was one she bought in a hurry so she could enjoy the hot spring. Now she's looking for something she can properly go swimming in.

And go swimming she does, at the MTT Resort pool. You can take the water out of the Precure, but you can't take the Precure out of the water, or something. That doesn't really make sense. The point is, it's something she can actually still do. Another thing she can actually still do is read, and she does that here, too, relaxing in one of the deck chairs.

Recreation and relaxation aren't her only motivation for coming out here, though. Now that she has a resort room, she's going to put that nice tub to what is absolutely not the intended use, and apply some of those cleaning chemicals she picked up in the lab to the i███████ button.

(Yes of course she's wearing protective equipment.)

(The housekeeping staff will probably hate this. Oh, well.)]

slight investigation!

[dereban]

[She's not expecting much of anything, but attempts are going to be made.

Besides -

If she winds up finding nothing at all? She doubts most people (or monsters, even) would come here, so she should be okay.

Which is why she'll be in the flower field, trying out a few things. But the first thing she's making an honest attempt at is trying to find anything that might look like a potential 'save point'. It's possible that she can't see it; Himeko's not expecting much. But attempts are going to be made.

When she isn't looking for stuff here, Himeko can be alternatively found at the inn writing something, frowning with some slight frustration as she rakes her hair.]

Is this good enough? It still sounds off. Maybe I just don't have the talent for it, in the end...

mtt resort investigation!

[finalring]

Well, I guess there is a saying about leaving no stone unturned. Maybe we will find something.

[ maybe they'll find something like a save point. or stir up trouble. or both? all solomon hopes is that there's no cake involved.

which is why he, gilgamesh, and nanaka are going to be exploring the resort, starting from the outside. solomon himself does not feel very optimistic. ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Honestly, he wondered why he hadn't tried before, but while Spider-sitting at the Inn, he takes out he pie he baked at []'s house, dividing them into pieces for everyone to hand out, and for his piece, he pauses, cutting a smaller piece and offering it to the spider.]

I'm more a cook than a baker, you better not complain.

[Later on, he can be seen at Grillby's observing the quiet nature of the bar, having a pint as he writes things down in a now worn notebook, before going to a blank page and starts to sketch something machine-ish]

WEDNESDAY

[foundationmods]

[lovecolored]

spider bake sale
[ In the morning, Marisa is over here, feeling restless. She buys a couple of donuts from Muffet and peers at them carefully before breaking one apart. ]

Made of spiders, huh... [ squinting at the inside of it ] Oi. Any potential friendly talkin' spiders got 10 seconds to evacuate the donut before it goes in my mouth.

mtt resort
[ later on, Marisa's loitering outside. If she catches someone, she'll flag them down. ]

Hey. I tried sneakin' in, but they caught me. Said I gotta pay up. We're just gonna keep gettin' more money every week, so...wanna go in for the night? I think they got a pool and an arcade and stuff in there.

[ it's all of the rest of her gold, but whatever. she's getting more and more antsy. ]

mods! and also everyone

[oceanicbutterfly]

[MODS!

Karen is on one of her most well-defined missions yet today. Thanks to a certain roommate, she's heard about some kind of... cleaning monster... in the Arena. It's time to seek him(?) out and see if she can get this stupid button usable. Or... one entire step towards being usable. Who knows at this point.

ALSO EVERYONE

Afterward she keeps hanging out in Waterfall, mostly by the actual waterfall. It's a nice peaceful spot, and while it's not quiet, quiet isn't really what she's looking for right now. There's plenty of quiet everywhere else and she just wants to read without being reminded of that.]

[justonezero]

[Exercise]

[Have you been wondering where Yoshi has been all week? Wonder no more!

For thirty minutes he can be found running around Snowdin, starting out at a reasonable pace before trailing into a slow, wheezing walk. After that he can be found in the inn doing stretches, push ups, and sit ups, with some amount of laying on the ground to catch his breath because he is noodle.]

I think... I'm dying... again...

[Inn]

[After exercises, he can be found in his room in the inn, laying spread eagle on his bed.]

Everything's sore...

[Weh.]

[Wildcard]

[That said you can also probably drag him around places if you want, or otherwise make sure he leaves his room again even after the exercises.]

Core Invest!

[le_mat]

[on Wednesday folks might find a note Ren left for the party:]

Gonna try and get onto the Core. Meet me there if you want to help.

[... considering who wrote this, that's actually pretty considerate. Of course if no one shows he's gonna do it anyway. When people do arrive though he's creeping around, with a.... robot hand on his belt? Sherlock and Inaba would recognize it as his new janky hookshot- but he makes not move to explain it otherwise]

There shouldn't be any guards but... if there's any electric locks we might be screwed.

THURSDAY

[foundationmods]

meeting

[finalring]

[ as with every week, solomon will guide the other members of the team towards the math hut. ]

I believe that we might have a lot to share, especially after the investigation of the Core.

[ he'll begin telling them about the papers he read in the back room, his voice even as he speaks. ]

...Now, if anyone else wants to share the information they've found, feel free to do so.

NPC time (First is Sans, Later is Cinque)

[sageking]

[ Alright! So, first Gilgamesh will be looking for Sans during the day, first by checking to see if he was staying over at his house. If not, he'll be searching for the guy elsewhere in Snowdin. He could be probably found in the midst by others in his search if someone so desired to wonder what he was up to.

Maybe it could prove to be worth exchanging a few words. Especially since he apparently showed up hanging around in the CORE. He's absolutely going to wing this, it's fine.

Anyone could of course also catch him over at the Cliff if someone wanted to chat up the King for whatever reason. Trust it to never be cursed like the Waterfall, at least.

Later ambiguously in the day he will also be searching for Cinque. Because it's what he usually did anyway. He'll be looking to see if she were at the resort there. ]

TRUTH OR DARE OR KARAOKE @ RESORT

[dereban]

[So, at some point a party is going to be called at the Resort's Live Stage, and once everyone is there, Himeko clears her throat:]

... okay, it's Thursday, so we need a way to relax before shit goes down, you know the drill, etcetera.

So.

We're going to play a game with a twist. Truth or Dare. The rules are simple. You ask truth or dare, you do a truth or a dare. PG-13 only questions or dares only.

However! If you want to opt out of answering a question or doing a specific dare, you must come up and sing one song. Only catch is that you cannot sing the same song twice.

Aaand that's basically it~!
