[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.

Hm, if that's the case that just means it's on me for losing my edge. She wouldn't be the first serial killer to try for me.

[ugly_split_ends]

...Just what kind of life were you leading...?

[le_mat]

A very exciting one.

... in all seriousness though, I... I do want to still be friends with you. But maybe I was pushing too hard.

1/2

[ugly_split_ends]

...

[ugly_split_ends]

...Is it possible to be friends with garbage...

[she sniffs, nose clogged, as her face clouds over.]

...

D-Don't tell me I'm not. I know I am... it's l-like I'm w-watching myself... s-say the w-wrong thing... all the time...

[le_mat]

... I think it's possible, yeah. I mean. Look at me. I'm a PTSD riddled wreak using bad humor and a shitty savior-complex to cope. I doubt anyone here isn't some degree of fucky.

We can all just be... fucked up together, I guess.

[ugly_split_ends]

I-It is when I'm lashing out at you! When all I'm doing is hurting people who keep saying 'be my friend, be my friend...'

[le_mat]

It's up to you if you want to be better at that. It'll take time and yeah, some people will probably give up on you. But it's either try and maybe end up with a few people that accept you or don't and... well, you stay where you are.

I can't force you one way or the other. I'm just saying, for now, I'm willing to keep trying.

[ugly_split_ends]

...

...I guess I just... want to know why.

W-What's in it for you... besides... pain from being around me.

[le_mat]

I don't like seeing people suffer, is all. Probably that savior-complex I mentioned.

Plus, when we're not bickering you're not bad to be around, you know.

[ugly_split_ends]

Hehe...

Hehehe...

M-Maybe I like suffering... ever think of that...?

[le_mat]

And you called ME a masochist.

[ugly_split_ends]

T-Takes one to know one.

[le_mat]

[He snorts]

You got me there.

[ugly_split_ends]

It's... hard to believe there's people like you...

...

Hey, can I ask you...? Something p-personal?

[le_mat]

We're already having a heart-to-heart, so no time better than now.

[ugly_split_ends]

Ugggh... I guess... it is.

...What was your first date like?

[le_mat]

[He turns a little red and makes a sour face]

Oh, it was awful.

[ugly_split_ends]

W-What? How?

[le_mat]

I grew up in the country, so there wasn't really much to do.

So I took her to Junes. Which is a supermarket. It has a little roof eatery, so I thought that would be fine! She was... not thrilled.

Funny enough we actually dated for a few months even after that, until I got arrested. Then she dumped me. Can't really blame her though, we weren't really close.

[ugly_split_ends]

...Well, you probably weren't old enough for anything fun.

I'm having a hard time seeing you as being arrested for anything other than jaywalking or f-failing to sort your recycling right.

[le_mat]

Yeah, I wasn't doing anything too frisky until I ended up with the Foundation.

...and I was actually arrested for assault.

[ugly_split_ends]

... W-What kind of assault!?

D-Do I need to scream??

[le_mat]

Not that kind! I got between a drunk asshole and a woman he was harassing, and he fell when I shove him. Busted his head and sued me.

[ugly_split_ends]

...Chivalrous.

W-Why did the police go after you and not him? Was he secretly yakuza?
