thefoundation | A New Friend (?)

[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.

It sounds like he's picked a few things up. I'm not saying we absolutely shouldn't work with him, Troit-san. We'll probably have to deal with the monsters sooner or later, one way or the other.

We might have a common goal, in a way, but we should be very careful about believing what he tells us.

That's true. He's definitely trying to use us to achieve his own goals, and he's specifically avoiding mentioning what they are beyond what the Foundation wants to achieve here.

...He did say something interesting to Yoshi, though. I don't know how true it is, but it's definitely something interesting.

And from the sound of it, he doesn't entirely understand the Resort himself. So on top of everything else, he might have his own misconceptions about the place, especially if he hasn't dealt with the game or the ghosts like we have.

Which thing do you mean?

The big that comes to me is that the monsters can leave if they possess him.

It's likely that he has some sort of ability that means he can leave this place, but he doesn't want to risk exposing himself to the monsters when they can potentially control him.

That means he knows about a place that's hidden from the monsters, doesn't it? And if he's in the vents, or wherever the vents go, and has been there for months...

For some reason, the monsters haven't gone in after him.

That's because he's more than likely in the brain -- and immune cells cannot go there. But immunity protects all the avenues to get there.

How did he even get to the brain in the first place, though? Something... to do with his ability?

It really doesn't matter how he got there, does it?

That depends. We only have his word that he'll come out 'if all the monsters are gone'. But judging by his reactions, he doesn't completely understand the Resort either. If the monsters are connected to the Resort, what's going to happen once they're gone?

What's going to happen if he doesn't leave the brain?

... The monsters aren't connected to the Resort.

I was hoping to save it for tomorrow, but the monsters are Guests. Just like us.

Wait. So they're supposed to be here? Then why is the Resort using a game to kill them?

I don't know. I thought I had it figured out, but what the Outsider has told us tonight has thrown a kink into my hypothesis.

What was your hypothesis?

what???

Yes. Both the Doppelganger and the Jorogumo confirmed it. They were here long before we were.

The resort gave us a home.

... How long have you all been here?

I don't know. I just know we were alone for a really long time before the Resort welcomed us

If I were to guess, either the resort's antibodies, or the monsters don't actually want to harm the resort.

We still don't know why they're even targeting us in the first place, but something happened. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Outsider picked anything up, beyond "they started acting weird."

what about both

are we sure that 'they started acting weird' didnt happen because the guy was a jerk who thought itd be a good idea to kill someone

He claims they were "starting to act weird" before he killed Ichigo. If that's true, something else happened beforehand, and he only made things worse.

i wouldnt be surprised if he helped made it worse even if im sure he didnt try to make things worse intentionally
itd be nice to know what made them start acting weird in the first place though
but i guess were not figuring that out today

... He killed Kurosaki-san, right? And then something happened to the time in this place, and even the other guests couldn't leave anymore. I'm starting to get the feeling that he's behind everything wrong in here, somehow.

That's possible. I can't say for sure either way with what we have right now, though.

Yeah. Like I said, it's something to consider if we're going to have to work with him. Be careful.
