[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

[sageking]

[ ...chuckle. ]

Indeed. And that it is unrepentant, miserable creature who believes it is so above others, deeming all else as 'puppets', that it cannot hope to imagine anything else. Such is the depth of its foolishness.

[dereban]

[Also giving Gilgamesh a rather pointed 'really?' look.]

[sageking]

[ Absolutely fair.

He'll just look inappropiately proud of his words...

It's definitely a good thing he's no longer truly a part of the Foundation. ]

[finalring]

The purpose of the files is to be as scientific and impartial as possible. Though if you’d like I could interview you and attach it as an addendum.

[ is. is he joking? ]

[sageking]

[ WAS HE ]

Oh? And are you serious about this proposition, King Solomon?

[finalring]

I mean I could, but what goes into the final official report will be my decision. I could simply choose not to add it, if it’s not useful. And besides, I will not be using Foundation resources on someone that isn’t part of it in the first place.

[sageking]

[ HE'LL HUFF ]

Then why bother offering it in the first place?

[finalring]

Because I’d like an excuse to see you.

[sageking]

[ ...oh.

That's...touching, actually. He was feeling exactly contrary enough not to show it easily at the moment, though. ]

Is that so? Then you know the correct answer to your dilemna if you wish to see me so desperately, don't you?

[ He'll give a haughty look, reaching for the other's cheek. ]

[finalring]

Hm...do I?

[ in response to gilgamesh's over confidence, solomon keeps his calm, a small, amused smile on his face. ]

Maybe, maybe not. But really, calling it "desperate" is an exaggeration. I have other things to do, too, you know.

[ looks like he won't be making it easy for the other king ]

[sageking]

Don't be ridiculous, of course you do. You just all but admitted such a thing to me a moment before, and I could hear the longing sing in that tone of yours.

[ He will definitely be calling Solomon's bluff without a hint of hesitance in the slightest, lightly caressing his cheek before letting his hand fall back to his side. ]

You may have your so-called busy work to occupy yourself with, but it will not satisfy you nearly as much as how being in my presence and spending time with me will. And you know this, try as you might in an attempt to fool me with such a little act, which is simply adorable at best. Such a desire cannot be masked so easily, after all.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...actually, if it's an interview log, we could put "and it's a bitch."

Thank you!
