[CONTINUE + 4] Week 1 || act: investigate

[foundationmods]

[Everything is still, silent, and dark - just like it should be.

But there is still, undeniably...

a feeling of foreboding.

You know what this is.

One of your own...has perished.

At the hands of one of you.]

((One person only in each spot, please!))

Comments

[dereban]

[84 years late without Starbucks-]

... I knew it.

[Her voice is devoid of emotion when she hears the announcement, and her expression is the same.]

[justonezero]

[Hugging her.]

[dereban]

...

[She doesn't move from where she stands, her gaze...

...just...

looks to be one of shock for a moment, but she's just stilled into silence.][

[justonezero]

...We've got some pretty rotten luck, huh?

[dereban]

[It's when Yoshi speaks up again that her voice comes back slightly, quiet.]

Are we sure... that it's luck?

[justonezero]

...Do you think the narrators like getting us killed?

[dereban]

I don't know.

I... think there's a possibility. But - at the same time...

[She trails off, her gaze glancing away, unsure of what to say.]

[justonezero]

[Squeezing her a little!]

[dereban]

...

[She's just back to stunned silence.]

Is it weird... that I'm not crying...?

[justonezero]

I'm no good with feelings, but... I don't think you have to cry to be upset.

[dereban]

Even so, I feel like maybe I should have... been more upset than I am, but that might be because I didn't see it.

[justonezero]

[He nods.]

Without seeing it, it's hard to believe he's actually...

[dereban]

I don't want to see it. I refuse to give anyone the gratification of a reaction to it.

[justonezero]

...That's probably better. Especially since the plan is...

[dereban]

[There isn't an answer, just complete silence.]

[justonezero]

[Also silence.]

[dereban]

... want to play something later?

[justonezero]

...Am I unbanned from the Switch?

[dereban]

Yeah.

[justonezero]

Okay. Is there something you want to play in particular?

[dereban]

Nothing friendship destroying.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Also hugging her.]

[dereban]

[She doesn't move away from the hug, but she doesn't...say anything, either.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[That's all right. Karen isn't expecting her to.]

[dereban]

[Well, at least she isn't crying or anything - surprisingly.]
