[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.

CORE INVEST

[foundationmods]

[The Core is, as always, easy to get to. Walking past the Resort, and you'll find yourself in it's metal walkways as easily as ever.

There is, of course, the area that's reserved for the trials - a sight you're all familiar with - but there's a Central area that is right in front of the central 'generator', walkways that extend towards the back, and finally...a walkway going to the side.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

I'll take a look at the generator...

[lovecolored]

[ she will follow! ]

[romancekiller]

Yeah, maybe we can find something there. [clarke will also be following along here]

THE GENERATOR

[foundationmods]

[The machine at the heart of the Core is massive, gleaming metal housing a myriad of pipes, that no doubt go towards the rest of the underground and pumps energy to everyone.

There's a glass panel in front, showing the glowing, rainbow-colored liquid being converted to pure energy inside of the machine itself. Nearby, there's what looks like a small tablet attached nearby on a tether.]

[lovecolored]

[ Gonna go look at the tablet. What's it say? ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He'll take a look as well, best to read everything before they touch anything!]

[romancekiller]

[clarke looks around the room but first time to check out that tablet to read what it says]

[sageking]

[ Well, he's definitely not a tech person, so maybe he should leave it to those more inclined. ]

...I've an interest to where that walkway leads.

[ Assuming this walkway to the side was decently lit, considering...? ]

[cw_suicide]

[joining the king!]

THE SIDE ROOM

[foundationmods]

[Going to the side will land the two of them in a strange little room - oddly colored ores of different sizes litter the tables, with a few other things - a minor smelting oven, papers and data strewn about. There's also a bed in the room, as if someone often slept here while studying.

...it's also very dusty in here, as if no one has stepped inside for a while.]

[sageking]

[ Okay, this was...an interesting looking room. He couldn't say he expected it, really.

He'll first head over to the ores? What colors were they and was there anything in the oven? ]

...It appears we've found a room that may contain some potential information. Time will tell if any of it's actually useful, however.

[cw_suicide]

[meanwhile he will be poking at the notes, reading over them.]

Time and some snooping, for sure.

[finalring]

I'll take a look on the back.

[ he'll go to the walkway towards the back! ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen follows, making no comment.]

[le_mat]

I'll stick with you, Boss.

THE BACK ROOM

[foundationmods]

[As they head into the back, they'll suddenly see an area that has six containers standing upright, as if they once contained something inside of them - the glass glimmering with a faint, rainbow glow.

Along the sides of the room are coffins, three on the left and right- white, each with a different colored heart on them. And directly in front, down a long corridor...is the faint glimmer of Solomon's barrier obscuring the exit he made when he had finished hollowing out the mountain.

There are a few papers on a nearby table, looking yellowed and old.]

[le_mat]

... welp. Coffins with colored hearts. Not creepy at all!

[He heads towards those]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Six coffins, and six containers...

[Wow she hates this, but also, she's going to take a closer look at those containers. Is the glass itself glowing, or does there seem to be something else giving off that light?]

[finalring]

....

[ he will glance at the barrier and sigh. however he keeps his expression trained and will go for the papers ]

[foundationmods]

[The Coffins are...Coffins. However, they all share a certain characteristic - all of them are the colors they have in their SOULs, and if opened....they all have what looks like a very old child skeleton inside.

The containers, on the other hand, definitely seem like the glass itself is faintly colored - clear normally, then a gentle rainbow, like the colors on a bubble when shifted in the right light. There's nothing inside of them now, though.

The papers....There's a lot, and they're all out of order. Luckily, sorting through them by date is possible, but it'll take a second.]

[finalring]

[ well, you know what, he's not the one dealing with the child corpses so sure, he'll take the time to organize this by date. how far back does it go? ]

[le_mat]

[Ren sucks in breath in horror]

We have... bodies. B... Boss... do you think we could... put these to rest more properly, later?

[He' really upset by this???? These are tiny kids??? Like the kids he knew in Camp...]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...sigh.]

I think I know what happened to them.

[le_mat]

[Before they leave, and when the others aren't looking-

Ren will try and snatch one of those empty containers ]
