thefoundation | WEEK 3 MINGLE

WEEK 3

Week three opens like the other two weeks, but when you wake up, you know there's been a change in the area. At first, nothing is wrong - but when you look at any window, you aren't greeted with the cheery sight of the outside - instead, there's just a cold, harsh blackness. Trying to leave out the doors is impossible, too - if you try, you just find yourself back on the couches in the lobby. On top of that....The Staff are beginning to act even stranger, their glitching out becoming more obvious. Sometimes, they seemingly go blank mid sentence and walk away, as if they were reset, and slur or stutter their words.

The weather is...well, non-existent, except for the courtyard, which is still pleasantly snowy. There is still music playing in the halls, and the cover songs continue with some low-key music for the week.

On Monday morning, another memory is returned to everyone. Another piece to the puzzle, one step closer to finding the truth of this place. Yet, it doesn't seem like you're any closer to solving this...

And time still ticks onwards, regardless if you're ready or not.

[...]

In this world, they have... stories about us. Movies and anime and games. So people at the Foundation think they're just bringing fictional characters to life instead of bringing us from another world.

...

So. You're saying I could go on the internet and look it up and find a movie about my life?

Yes.

...There's a phone game about mine.

It. Might actually be good that we don't have any internet here.

[Everyone would be looking up everyone else's worlds and that would be a mess.]

For that specific thing, yeah. I recall we found some... pretty weird things when we tried to look ourselves up.

...

How weird are we talking here?

...

You don't want to know.

But you did see a lot of things on the internet here, right? S-so you might have seen a movie for one of us?

I don't remember seeing anything with anyone here.

Ah.

[He sounds a little disappointed, but it's alright. He'll deal with it for now.]

Man, I'm so curious now.

.... So we're all fictional.

[....... This is fine.]

I mean... I recognized a few of you guys here... but that's...

[.....]

[Firmly:]

We're real. We're alive and we have souls.

Just because you're correct doesn't mean you're right.

[Shoving that Fate/ meme in his face, thank you very much. There's clear doubt in her voice as she speaks.]

How do you know that being brought into this world didn't give us souls? Even if we have a real body... if our memories and pasts are still fictional, then how aren't we fictional?

[It's too bad he doesn't recognise the meme because he's from the wrong route. Tragedy.]

...I guess it's possible that we were created by that machine. I don't really have any way of proving you wrong for sure. But even if you choose to believe that we were fictional before, we're real now. That's what matters to me.

[The real tragedy here. There's a long pause as Tsumugi seems to mull over his words.]

I guess that's one way to look at it.

[A sigh. She'll continue mulling over this more later. For now, she wants information. Information is nice and comforting to have.]

Right... who else was at this camp with you?
