[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.

[ 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. ]

waterfall;

[sageking]

[ The day passed swiftly enough following the little reprieve of light-hearted activity at Papyrus' place, though being idle was not something Gilgamesh was fond of, and so he decided to take a long walk thorough the Underground.

Eventually, he will come upon this area, and spot Solomon watching the water fall with such an expression...it was like the sovereign had been watching paint dry. Though he figured that it wasn't as if he were doing it mindlessly. Far from it. ]

...Standing around with a face like that must mean you've many things on your mind. Or perhaps you were secretly awaiting my presence in anticipation of expressing joy once I've joined you by your side.

[finalring]

Secretly?

[ seeing his lover approaching him is already enough to make solomon's expression change just slightly, lips curling upwards into a small smile. he laughs at the king's comment, shaking his head. ]

Hardly. Though I suppose that 'joy' is an emotion that is a lot more difficult to come by these days, considering the situation. [ ... ] If I had to express my feelings in a word... I believe it would be 'grateful'.

[sageking]

[ They say smiles were contagious; that remained true even now, judging by his own smile now. ]

Grateful? That you have such a powerful and handsome man standing with you?

[ His words were teasing and light as he moved to come ever the more closer still. At this time he wasn't in his golden armor from temporarily traverse through the Hotland a bit earlier (he's in the blue shirt and tan pants), so at the very least him deciding to slide his arms around the other would be easier without the armor. ]

[finalring]

You really are incredible at ruining the mood.

[ and yet he doesn't pull away from the embrace, wrapping his own arms around the king's waist. he relaxes slightly in the other's hold, sighing. he feels like he can almost forget about everything that has been happening and what will happen.

but only almost. ]

Yes. I am grateful that you accompanied me. [ he smirks up at him. ] And not just because you're handsome or powerful.

[sageking]

You say this but already you are melting into my arms.

[ He could feel his own smile widening at his words which probably sounded kind of a little ridiculous, but that's just how he was. Either way, Gilgamesh was definitely savoring the feel of the man against him. There really was a lot that occurred, and yet despite the odds, they were still standing. Together.

And that's how it'll be when they solved this, or so were his thoughts. ]

But of course. In addition to those two qualities, there does happen to be a myriad things to appreciate with a presence like my own.

[finalring]

Hmm... but you yourself are more than overjoyed at the fact, aren't you? Do not make it seem like you did not seek me out because you missed my presence as well.

[ what goes unsaid is that solomon's own happiness is of equal measure.

he laughs a little when the king boasts, rolling his eyes at how exaggerated it was. though he would not have it any other way, really. ]

I don't need a myriad of reasons-- sometimes, the best things are the simplest. So, for me, one or two reasons are sufficient.

[ He's grabbing a pair of ear muffs and holding them up. They are white. ]

Look at these. They could almost blend into your hair. Might be useful if you want to stash something in them.

[finalring]

[ he laughs a little. ]

If only my hair were still white. [ it's ginger. ] But I think Raziel would be jealous if I stashed anything in my hair that wasn't them. You have no idea how angry they were when I cut my hair.

[onemolife]

They'll get over it. [ Maybe he should find him some raccoon ear muffs ] It wouldn't have been good having all of that hair on the trip to get here. Wasn't it big enough to be a blanket?

[finalring]

It might take a while.

[ maybe after this time the raccoon will finally accept a butter offering. ]

Hm, it wasn't long enough to trip over...I cut it from that length at the start of the 20th century. But it definitely was like a blanket--and difficult to take care of. And if we were going to be hiking during the summer with it, I thought it would be better to have it a bit shorter.

[onemolife]

Maybe if you give them a lot of bribes.

[ All the butter offerings.]

Now it looks like I might have you beat in the hair department. [ Or it's close ] Maybe they'll actually like me a little bit?

[finalring]

When I left they weren't even accepting the treats.

[ that's how pissed spice block was. ]

I'm not sure how willing they'll be...and if they go to you, Azrael might follow you, which I'm not sure how good of an idea that is.

libraby

[le_mat]

Hey Boss.

[He sees that closed book, peering curiously]

[finalring]

Nice to see you too, Ren.

[ LOOK HE MAY BE CHECKING OUT SOME OF THE MONSTER MANGA.

he is definitely trying to cover it with his arm. ]

L-looking for something?

[le_mat]

Nothing specific, I just needed a break from working on some stuff. Oh, did you ever have any luck translating that old monster text?

[peer peer... what kiiiind of manga~?]

[finalring]

[ HE IS RESTING BOTH HIS FOREARMS OVER THE BOOK...but that definitely looks like the frill of a dress?

wait is that the end of a wand? hmmm... ]

No, no luck yet. I was thinking of...heading to look for a dictionary maybe. Unless you were going to.

[le_mat]

I was just thinking that since we have a better idea of how old Sans and Papyrus are now it might narrow things down, language-wise.

[he sees that dress and is now way too obvious about his attempts to peek]

Ehhh... is that a magical girl?

[finalring]

WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT? I DON'T READ THAT! STOP PRYING ON YOUR BOSS!

[ there may be less monsters than ever before but there is definitely a 'shhh' that can be heard from somewhere.

he covers the book entirely in a last ditch attempt at saving his pride. ]

librarby

[dereban]

You're not reading something embarrassing, are you?

[#priorities]

[finalring]

Why would I ever do that.

[ he's changed books since his talk with ren. now it's a cookbook. ]

[dereban]

You seem like the type that would find an embarrassing one by sheer accident, only to have someone walk in on it.

[Which is the most cliche thing that she's ever said, but it's not as if she's being serious, anyway.]

Were you looking for some specific recipe?

Clothing store

[improbablenotimpossible]

Ah - hello.

[While he was looking for coats, Sherlock was looking more towards lighter wear for Hotland]

Try that hunter green coat over there...

[finalring]

Sherlock, fancy seeing you here. [ he'll do as asked, reaching for the green coat. ]

This one?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Well if we're going to do more Hotlands exploration, I need something a little more - easy to breathe in?

[He gestures vaguely, his coat was most certainly a more cold-weather item, before nodding]

Yes, that one. I think that would look good with what you have already.
