WEEK 2

[akudamods]

Saturday passes uneventfully save a little rain. It's on Sunday that you get a little notification of probation for new areas: Neo-Nipponbashi and Chuo. It'd be possible to investigate, to check out some anime, or to worship the defunct Shinkansen. But maybe it's hard to get excited about any of that when Friday’s events suggest that you have simply been provided some additional photogenic places to commit murder. Are you going to bother either overseer after their participation in some mockery of justice? Troll the internet? Get a bat out of Hyper Zone and just take out your frustration on everything?

Those of you who entered the pods will experience fewer “painful bursts of color” as your body is unaffected below the knees, though the same amount of “slight teleportation” glitches. Those of you who abstained from the pods will continue to experience all of the above as well as electric shock sensations occasionally when touching metal objects.

INTERNET | SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

((Internet investigations of any kind go here, and for all IRL areas, please use "investigate" in the subject line of your top-level comment, or link the thread to a moderator!))

[* Yep just gonna allow himself to be placed back in there.]

[Flowey is looking forward to it! Almost immediately, if he likes, he can find that sensation again - the memory of what his place in the universe had once been, at the side of his old friend. Maybe even closer than at their side. The way they were that one fateful day.

Obviously, far from two souls, he has zero souls, so does that raise any questions? Or does he submit to the experience?]

[* Despite knowing what the child was really like... and knowing how to admit it to himself... the feeling is still a feeling and he grasps it around him tightly.

...But this time... Flowey can't help but wonder... The child, the not-so-nice one... They hated humanity. Why did they hate humanity?

Sure, Flowey can kill someone here in this city and undo his death... Question his former friend. grill them until they talk so he can understand... A part of Flowey still wants to be friends with them. But that would ruin the Golden Ending Flowey made years later. Everyone's hearts beating as one, he FELT that. All their feelings, their hopes and dreams...

...

Maybe... maybe it's time to finally let go of Chara.]

[akudamods]

[Well, how Chara might have reacted to that was with a simmering resentful icy silent treatment. But they're dead. You're all alone in the pod. Quiet. That's the whole idea, in the end.

Time to get up.]

[* ...

* Flowey gets up and out of the pod. His next words are more to himself than anyone else.]

Goodbye, Chara...

[* If Physicist wants to talk to Flowey, now's her chance, as Flowey is about to burrow away.]
