[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.

[He reflexively moves to catch the spider, one of his hands pressing against the small of Solomon's back to steady himself so he doesn't lose his balance in the process!]

[finalring]

[ there's some weird, awkward noise from solomon when he has sherlock so close to him, bUT AS SOON AS THE SPIDER IS OUT OF THE WAY HE IS MOVING AWAY SO FAST.

and he is putting his shirt back on. show is OVER ]

[foundationmods]

[Spider is caught! He makes a little surprised noise, but then pretty quickly peeps out from the thin bars of Sherlock's fingers.]

* it was a dare, you see.
* though I may have taken it too far.
* my apologies.

[He's not sorry at all, actually,]

[finalring]

You do not sound remotely sorry.

[ ... ]

Who dared you?

[foundationmods]

* that would be telling
* and i am hardly one to tattle on a partner in crime.

[Snickers.]

[finalring]

[ partner in crime--?! ]

REN IF THIS WAS YOU, I SWEAR ON O5-1 THAT I'LL DOCK YOUR PAY!!!!

[ solomon that's just a saying ]

[le_mat]

I'M INNOCENT THIS TIME!!

['this time']

[sageking]

[ ... ]

This time?

[le_mat]

[His slit eyes widen so far they are almost all black, which honestly gives him completely away]

. . .y e a h. . . ?

[He senses Death!]

[sageking]

[ He'll step closer. ]

Are you ready to accept your punishment for this transgression?

[le_mat]

... if I run away you'll just chase me down, right?

[sageking]

That I will. Stand still, fool.

[le_mat]

Welp, might as well keep my dignity in the face of death.

[Bring it yo]

[sageking]

[ ...

For now he'll just reach out with one armored hand and...there was a thwack over the shoulder if the other will take it. He's still in armor so there will be no head whacking today; he's not looking to give Ren a concussion. ]

Luckily for you, death won't be necessary, despite the nonsense you visited on my person.

[ He had been legitimately annoyed. He figured Ren knew what they had experienced, after all. ]

No one else better get the idea to involve any of us in anything having to do with...this anymore, however. I won't be so lenient next time.

[foundationmods]

* please, the boy is innocent.
* in truth, I was only dared to startle someone...
* but I didn't realize your phobia.
* I do apologize.

[Okay, that sounds pretty genuine.]

[finalring]

...Oh.

[ he didn't even realize he had a ✨phobia✨ because he still hasn't finished assimilating his ✨trauma✨ ]

I guess that explains a lot. You're forgiven.

[foundationmods]

* thank you.

[A tiny leggy is stuck out, as if offering a handshake.]

* i am inclined to taking things a bit too far at times, but I also have not felt so much like myself in quite a while.

[The way he's speaking is different, too - not in those broken sentences.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[His brows knitted, definitely catching that]

You're sounding pretty lively...

[foundationmods]

* I feel much more like myself.
* Though, I feel as if that isn't a good thing....
* Perhaps...it is because that being is currently....hovering close...?

[There's a bit of hesitance, almost like he's forcing the words out.]

* n-no, I....I won't...say anymore....
* l...let me....keep my mind, for a little longer...

[improbablenotimpossible]

[hovering close... he felt a slight chill go down his spine]

I won't ask... this is supposed to be a time for mischief.

[He tries to force an impish smile]

[foundationmods]

* ....
* thank you.

[He seems to relax, slightly.]

* ...i suppose
* the state I am in now, is what's known as karma.
* it's only fitting, after I have made so many men go through this same fear and discomfort....

[finalring]

...So you were some sort of prankster, huh?

[ he reaches out, giving the spider a pinky to "shake". ]

Well, I guess its fine. I'm sure you would've fit in with all of them [ he glances to the group ] pretty well.

[foundationmods]

* worse than a prankster...? Yes, that sounds about right.

[And there's a 'shake.']

* i believe I did....hopefully, i can join all of you again in my true form, without falling in and out of consciousness.

[finalring]

We all hope so too. In a body that isn't...well, a spider's.

[ he nods ]

We will work hard for it.

[foundationmods]

* Thank you.
* that's all I can ask for.
* even if I will not be able to help you.
