yeah, I saw her. I ran after her after the fighting.
She said that the Lord & Lady caused all of this, that the 'monsters' are their own citizens. She said the same thing's going to happen to our wounded. We need to get them out of here.
[ Sorry, he's like skipping several small talk steps, but he's also low-key panicking. ]
Wait, you talked to her days ago? I didn't hear anything about it.
[Uh, well, about that, y'see. Sure, he absolutely knew that this was all going to happen and probably could've done something.
But the thing you have to understand is he just... really didn't want to. So.]
no need to put monsters in quotes big guy, it's what they are. a city of monsters and humans living in peace, that's what so-yeon wants.
[As for the other part, well...]
i ran into her in the outer ring, taking clothes for her subjects from their homes. that's where they all used to live, those condemned houses. we talked for a while, she really wants a better life for the monsters in her care and i wasn't in any hurry to snitch to a bunch of people i just met. no offense, kid.
[He's gonna go ahead and leave out the fact that she told him she was gonna attack and his concealment of that fact. No biggie.]
i wasn't kidding about the rubbing, though. [Phrasing.] she has this... light thing. i'm not sure what it is, but the got this nagging sense she did something with it. to you.
[ ... Huh. He didn't consider that "monster" could not be a derogatory term to someone. That's actually pretty interesting and something to think about, all this stuff with terms & labels. BUT there are more pressing issues. ]
maybe so, but they didn't start out the way they are now. The Lord & Lady changed them.
But uh
Yeah okay I guess I can understand why you wouldn't say anything. I was sitting here wondering who I could trust, too.
[ He's surprised to hear that someone can else can sense that sort of thing but also kind of relieved. ]
She did! She said it'd allow me to help them keep their minds if they start losing themselves, but I won't have this power for long. It's limited.
She got it from the same source that the Lord & Lady used to change them in the first place. She's the one that stole it from them. Apparently they call it the Golden Eye here. I knew those things were no good.
[ Maybe he's getting a little excited in his irritation about this orb business. ]
[Scanning over the words, Sans found himself lingering on a few key phrases. Losing themselves, Golden Eye, all of it seemed so steeped in ritual.
And honestly, he still couldn't help but wish he knew who So-Yeon was. Where had she come from? How had she discovered what happened? Maybe if he hadn't scared her off, he'd be less in the dark right about now.
With a thought, the text field melts away, replaced by video. Sans looks... tired.]
Sounds like you got a lot further than I did, kid. We got stuff to discuss and my fingers are crampin' up. What room are you in?
[ OH! Finn's seen this guy around before. He's kind of hard to miss- Wait, wasn't he one of the people watching Finn get wrecked while trying to flirt...?
Well. Anyway.
Finn doesn't look tired. He looks surprised about suddenly seeing a face, sure, but he's mostly just anxious and itching to get out of here and help. But he needs allies first. ]
[Sans is about to ask second door on the left of what, but a few more moments of thought and the instructions actually remind him of something. A few more moments of thoughts and a memory of seeing Finn in that very room, nearly a week ago, activates in his head.
For a split second, Sans' video feed turns to static. When it returns, Finn himself is in the background of the shot.]
Whoop. [Sans staggers a bit, catching himself on the wall before turning to face Finn, in the flesh. So to speak.] I was aiming for the bed.
