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.

I think you'd like the early seasons and volumes of Naruto then. Hmm... you know, you have the right eyes shape and color if you ever wanted to pull off a Naruto cosplay!

[Their hair and eyes are a similar color come to think of it. There's a slight pause at his next statement though.]

I see... that's unfortunate. I think you'd make a good protagonist, Roxas-kun.

[A smile.]

You have the right hair for it.

[A small giggle at her joke and managing to eek out a win on the latest round.]

...What's a cosplay, anyway?

[ Roxas doesn't think he's ever quite heard the word before in his entire life ( as little as he lived it so far. )

But, hey, there's a lot he hasn't heard of before he came here. ]

I really do? [ Pause...when she manages to snag a win right there. Gosh! ] Wha- hey! Don't think I'm going to let you win again, got it?

Cosplay is the art of bringing a fictional character to life!... Well, not in the way we were brought to life. It's more dressing up as them and acting as them. Like you are a spirit medium bringing them to this world!

[There's clear passion in Tsumugi's voice as she talks about cosplay. You've found her favorite subject.]

You do! Not one of those dark horse winning ones, but one of the ones who lose a lot at first, but then work their way up to a win! Like Sendou Aichi!

[A laugh.]

I'm plain impressed at how fast you're catching on... but we'll see about that, Roxas-kun!

That sounds like it could be a little fun. I'm not sure if I'd really do it in a place like this, though.

[ It's apparent to him that she's really loved this type of thing, and it doesn't sound like a bad hobby in general anyway. ]

Sendou Aichi? [ Yeah, now that he thinks about it... ] But the ones who keep losing a lot - they don't really give up, do they?

[ Then he'll shake his head with a determined smile, pulling a sharp turn in the game and managing to make it. ]

We'll see about that? You're about to see my dust pretty soon!

You're interested?! Hey, if we get out of here, then I'll make you a cosplay of any character you want! We can go to a con together!

[Her excitement starts to distract her from the game...]

No, they just keep going! I'm not sure card game anime are your kind of story... but he looses a lot in the beginning, before getting better and starting to win as the story goes on. He's not a dark horse winner, he's a hard work winner!

[At least for the most part. Tsumugi is about to go on a plot dump, but her distraction makes it easier for Roxas to pass her in the game, via the sharp turn.]

A-ah!?

[She does her best to catch up, but unless Roxas makes a major mistake, Tsumugi is probably going to lose this round.]

Any character I want...? A con?

[ Eyes on the prize, Tsumugi! That's okay, Roxas isn't afraid to take advantage of that opportunity. ]

A hard work winner...? [ ...He breaks out into a grin. ] Yeah, maybe I'm something like that. Both kinds really sound like the best, especially since I just came from behind when you least expected!

[ Roxas puts the pedal to the medal, making it difficult for her to catch up. ]

A convention! It's a big gathering of all otaku kind! You can find the best deals on merchandise there, and- ahhh, I'm getting plain distracted!

[Tsumugi does her best to catch up, but Roxas wins in the end. There's a laugh at his victory. A part of her feels happy at seeing him succeed so fast, after she showed him.]

Ah geez... I didn't expect you to learn so fast.

If we do, then...that's something I'd like to check out too. But, yeah, you definitely are.

[ Roxas pumps a hand in the air once his victory is secured! Aw yeah... ]

Well, I had someone show me how this worked, so that's probably what helped me pick up faster than if someone started out without help?

Sorry, I keep letting my hobbies slip into conversations.

[No regrets to be honest.]

That makes sense. It means I was a good tutorial then, right?
