A New Friend (?)

[foundationnpcs]

[It is well into the evening on Sunday by the time a strange message pops up on everyone's tablets. It's from an unknown sender, with only a little skull icon to identify himself by.

And this new person has quite a bit to say.]

Well I'm not really sure what the fuck just happened, but that dog bastard is gone so I'm going to assume it went well. Good job, it only took you three weeks to finally make some progress here.

Not that I'm blaming most of you for the complete failures of the previous weeks, all the adults who are supposed to be wrangling the rest of you are too busy wrangling each other's dicks. I expected the love-dodecagon smoochfest from the teenagers, but I expected better of the rest of you. Seriously, priorities? Have you heard of them before?

Anyway, I'm sure you have questions, and I'm in a good mood tonight since you finally got something done. So ask away. I'll be around, until you get too annoying.

what are you trying to do?

and what are we supposed to be doing?

we're kind of lost here!

[foundationnpcs]

You're supposed to be killing some ghosts, and trying not to die.

turn on your location I just want to talk

[whirlingmace]

Hey hey.
Do you feel like hanging out some time?

no

[foundationnpcs]

No.

[swordhandled]

[ oh. joy ]

Hm, and what qualifies as annoying?

[foundationnpcs]

Here's a hint: the more I swear, the more annoying you're being.

[xenoqueen]

[ugh ok theres some important stuff in there but]

the kids are perfectly fine handling themselves, thank you very much. besides, you ever tried to get anything done when all of the adults won't step up and be responssible?!

[foundationnpcs]

Okay I'll give you some credit here, you're actually trying your best and not being a complete jackoff.

[resortghosts]

:/ RUDE

[Medic's been dead this whole time and can't communicate anything he learns to the living do you expect him to be useful??? No??? He's gonna kiss some dudes instead until Ripley fixes everything thank you very much]

[foundationnpcs]

I can see you doing that, asshole.

Incidentally that sentence is also true without the comma.

[13thpromise]

[ Roxas has no idea who this is or where they are, so... ]

who are you

[foundationnpcs]

Your 'apprentice' friend keeps calling me 'The Outsider', so I guess that works. You can call me that.

Honestly I don't want anything to do with the fuckboy games you all keep playing, but I actually need your help to get out of this place so I can't just ignore all of you.

[resortghosts]

You have a lot of explaining to do.

But first you should stop trying to kill the thing we're all currently trapped in.

[foundationnpcs]

What?

I'm not killing anything.

Slight nsfw

[imstuck]

Your first mistake is assuming that I could wrangle a bunch of kids without being distracted by dick.

[xenoqueen]

where are you right now i just wanna know for a friend

[latebluemer]

Don’t talk like we work for you. We don’t.

[dolleyed]

We might be, actually.

He could be Ichigo's old partner, a senior at the Foundation.

[resortghosts]

FUCK OFF

[Lmao guess who]

[foundationnpcs]

Watch your fucking mouth, kid.

[HI ICHIGO]

[purrtagonist]

The Outsider.

That's you, isn't it?

[foundationnpcs]

Ding ding ding

Stay out of my head from now on, by the way.

[tacticalespionageaction]

[love can bloom even on the battlefield asshole]

Tell me why I should listen to you.

[foundationnpcs]

Because I know how to get us all out of here. Is that a good enough reason for you?

[theycallhimmrpchan]

What the hell were you hoping to accomplish here by having people lose their memories before coming here?

You did kind of shot yourself in the foot by doing that. Assuming you're you know.

Unless you're some other prisoner who can't be straight with us even if it means hamstringing yourself.

[Damn restrictions even affects text]

[foundationnpcs]

I had nothing to do with everyone's memories. It was probably Kurotsuchi again, that asshole is always up to something.

Trust me, I find it as annoying as the rest of you do.

honestly, later that night

[justfists]

how do we go home.

[foundationnpcs]

[Makoto has been through Some Shit so he will be slightly nicer to her.]

Get rid of the other two ghosts. I know the way out, but we can't leave until they're gone.

[messianic]

[...]

Why are you leaving this up to us...? You seem to care about what happens here, so why us?

[foundationnpcs]

Because as much as I hate to admit it, I can't take care of this problem on my own. Carrot-top and I were treading water here for a while, and since I've been dealing with things on my own for six months I have been at a standstill.

[duskhound]

I'll ask the obvious, then: What are you trying to accomplish here? You said that we're here to get rid of the ghosts, and I assume that means the monsters, but that doesn't seem to be what you're trying to do?

[foundationnpcs]

It's a really long story that I don't really feel like telling again, but here's the TL;DR version:

Ghosts? Bad. Ghosts out in the world? Worse. Kill the ghosts, they're effectively 'contained', and we all get to go home.

[wrongtiming]

[After reading the other replies...]

First off

Do you have anything else you want us to call you, The Outsider seems like kind of a mean name

[foundationnpcs]

Look, I really don't care what all of you call me.

Half of you probably won't survive this thing anyway, and even if Sword-Nerd saves all of your souls it's not like I'll see any of you that often outside of here. Most of you don't even work in the same department as me.

Just call me whatever you want.

[thejusticewagon]

Are you supposed to be our boss? I don't think your selection process for this mission was that great.

[foundationnpcs]

Actually, if my guess is right, you're supposed to be my rescue party. So I could be your boss if you really feel that lost? Which, honestly, you might need. I don't know who's supposed to be the leader for your group, but they're doing a bad job of it.

[relentlesslyonwards]

You seem to have a pretty good idea of what's going on in here, so what's stopping you from finding the monsters yourself?

[foundationnpcs]

I can't go near them.

I know I'm pretty much asking you to be my meat shields here, which fucking sucks, but I wouldn't ask if I didn't need to.

[maskarang]

What do you know about The Lady?

[foundationnpcs]

She's the least-hivey of the hivemind here.

[resortghosts]

Wow. Amazing. At least three weeks are better than the however goddamn long you've been here and doing what, exactly?

You don't get to talk shit about our goddamn priorities when you're the one making us run around practically brainless over this stupid fucking resort and this stupid game of mafia.

Maybe we do things that are actually fun for us - smooching or otherwise because, I don't know, a lot of us are fucked up by the murder and gore and possession and the fact that all of our heads were very purposely messed with.

Not to mention the fact that you fucking killed Ichigo in a pretty messed up manner, so. Why should I even trust your word and any answers you'd provide to begin with?

/shitpost

[foundationnpcs]

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

[resortghosts]

Hey. You're familiar with the Camp Petoskey incident, right?

[jumpedtheshark]

[Tsumugi spends a bit of time composing her response. Admittedly she's being even more polite than usual, as it might encourage more cooperation than hostility or shouting. She's just hoping this doesn't register as her sucking up them. Not that she cares as long as she gets information, but whatever.]


That's a fair criticism. But... this kind of situation should be expected when a large group of people are put into the setting of a horror story. Be it manga, anime, movies, television, or books, people getting together and into romantic tension with each other is plain inevitable! Umm... those people are usually the first ones to die though.

[Guess that explains Medic.]

Ah... sorry, I let my hobbies slip in. Okay, my first question is this. What is going on with the vents? We haven't investigated them again after Kurusu-kun was reckless, went in there, and wandered into a real life version of Cells At Work. Is there anymore information you can share on the vents and white blood cell he found?

Also... thank you for lending us your time. You didn't have to contact us and you did. We'll appreciate any information you deign to share.
