THE FINAL MINGLE

[foundationmods]

Monday comes.

There's no one here. The Silence is....though you don't remember any other monsters, deep down inside of you, you know this is wrong.

Everything is open to you, and no one will complain. You can do whatever you want, now.

....somehow, it feels...awful.

Somehow, you know everything will come to an end...this week.

[He nods- honestly his thoughts are similar but... well he trusts Red's judgment.]

If it comes down to another fight is the plan to 'unlock' us again?

[backspacing]

That's the plan. I'm holding off for as long as I can, because it seems like there is a delay between the entity's responses and our movements. But if we can locate the entity, I can unlock all of you and you all can have a go at it.

That said, defeating it might not be as simple as a fight.

[le_mat]

If a brawl could do it we would have finished this last weekend.

[They hurt it though, so maybe they could win- but at the sacrifice of however many SOULs it would manage to tear apart in the meanwhile. And that's only if the sliver of Dazai's SOUL it had snatched hadn't made it leagues stronger]

That's part of what I wanted to talk to you about. During that fight I saw the energy I use for one of my attacks- the one I used to finish off the fake-god in my world. Not enough to use it, but it was there. I was thinking maybe I could manage to get more to try the same thing but... I don't even know if it'd work if this thing really is 'beyond a god' like it claims.

... I was thinking instead maybe I could use it to do something else.

Oh? What were you thinking to do?

[le_mat]

We've been theorizing that it might have been a monster originally. Maybe even a skeleton. And that gunk on Karen's button and that weird smoke it gave off when we cleaned gave me an idea.

Maybe it can be purified in some way?

I won't say no to any idea, as the Foundation operates on "if it works, it works" logic.

That said, going in with more than one plan is a good idea. You never know what will work and what won't.

[le_mat]

Right. And when it comes to pure damage people like Gilgamesh and Solomon have me beat, so trying to punch a hole in it's just a waste of my resources. Honestly... ever since I've been in the Foundation I've been way more useful as a healer and support role than a fighter.

And speaking of options... well we have that too.

[He takes out his phone]

But I have a feeling if I even look at that app I might be super-deleted again... but it's still something that's there.

[backspacing]

That certainly is a change for you, isn't it?

[She remembers how fighty he was in camp.]

That app is dangerous, especially given your past experiences. With the traumatic things you have gone through, who's to say you won't freeze up at the worst moment?

[le_mat]

It kinda hurt my pride at first! But... maybe that softer side of me isn't a bad thing, huh?

[He sighs and looks at his phone]

... you're not wrong either. And even if I didn't freeze in fear I don't think I could... could do what Akechi could. You know? Or... become like Kurusu-san- AK- did. I don't WANT to be him.

[backspacing]

You don't have to be either of them. That's the beauty of it: the only person you have to be is yourself.

You've found yourself turning more towards support roles, yes? Then maybe that is your way of ending this battle.

[le_mat]

[He smiles softly, touched]

You always know the right thing to say.

[Winkwonk]

[backspacing]

Well, I do have some practice at it.

[le_mat]

True. With me especially. It's a little embarrassing.
