detanimetion | week 5; wednesday afternoon; locked to break and gilbert

[No he's keeping his headache, he's slightly less of a headache than Undyne's headache...]

I don't mind sleeping on the chair. [He's not sharing a bed with Rhys... They're both beanpoles and Rhys has a robot arm, his jaw would probably somehow get broken during the night.

THAT SAID, he'll just lapse into silence at this part of the conversation, since Break's already shared but he's obviously not gonna deetspill. Instead he just waits to see what else Undyne will say. Was it the same lady? He's assuming "probably", based on what both Break and Alisha have said. rip team pride...]

It's definitely the right thing to do! Rhys is way too entertaining to lose now! [Also innocent lives and all that...but nah it's mainly because he's hilarious to bully.] And why not, you could both fit on the bed easily! [BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM IS A SKINNY TWIG]

Sounds like she visited everyone on our team, huh? [She leans forward eagerly.] And? Tell me you tried to punch her too!! [Undyne has no idea why this would be a bad thing to admit to when it's clearly the most logical step???]

[ Break laughs, and he'll just clarify this clear point of confusion here... ]

It's not the logistics that are the problem, you know. None of us want to share a bed. Being in the same room is enough, but anything more than that is pushing someone's luck.

[ I mean of the three shady stooges here, none of them are exactly cuddle material... ]

...Oh? Well, something like that, yes. [ punching is very similar to decapitation duh ] Though it didn't turn out to be a good idea! I assume that feeling of whatever it was meant she wasn't pleased with the attempt.

What he said. [#ditto... The shady stooges may ride and die together (or with Morrigan going first, whatever) but bed-sharing is just Too Far. And also possibly dangerous.

Shooting Break a mild look at that, though.... But he shifts his attention to Undyne instead.]

That makes three then, right? The woman who appeared at Morrigan's execution, the one I saw, and the one your team saw. Has anyone else spoken about anything like that this week...?

[Well...she has to admit that she's had the urge to hurl Sans and occasionally when he won't go the fuck to sleep even Papyrus out the window ever since sharing a room with them, so. She understands enough to drop this issue.]

From the way she was blabbing on and on about not letting our team down, not attacking her would have been an even worse idea! Does she want us to prove we have pride or not?! [She also turns to Gilbert and gestures her hand so sharply at Break that even he'll be able to get the gist of it just by daredeviling out her movements: see? attacking someone in your dream is a totally normal thing to do if you're not a weenie! (Undyne's gestures can convey a lot, okay.)]

I haven't heard of any, but that's...Wrath, Envy and Pride, right? It's not like we're the only teams who've lost people though - you'd think the others would have shown up already.

[ Break may understand this movement, but he somehow doubts that Gilbert is going to agree that taking any side with Break is the sane and rational one... At least when it comes to violence. ]

That wasn't exactly my concern at the moment, but I guess that's fair enough. Though I doubt Miss Alisha would agree...

[ She's the pure white sheep in the team of black sheep... ]

Ah, but we may not know, right? It could be worth asking. It's not as if keeping this to ourselves has any benefit, does it? That woman didn't say we had to keep this to ourselves.

[He definitely doesn't think attacking dream demons is a good idea guys?! STOP... Though he supposes this is why they're on a team together or something.]

Don't do anything that might get you in trouble. [Both in relation to asking and punching dream ghosts...]

...But I do think it's worth looking into, anyway. Yours is the first full team that anything's contacted, right? [Since Gilbert just got picked on randomly and Morrigan was reapered away to the afterlife.]

Don't underestimate Alisha - she's pretty badass, you know! I bet she'd join in striking down an enemy of justice! [Slowly they will corrupt her into becoming a true black sheep of Pride...]

I think so? Unless someone on your team's been keeping it under wraps. But unless they were threatened or something, keeping it a secret sounds dumb when these people probably had something to do with why we're here in the first place!

That's what I would guess... Since we never seem to accomplish much on the first day anyways, perhaps it would be worth bringing it up at our trial this week~?

[ I mean, discussing Plot (?) seems better that discussing why Break and Gilbert need to be sleeping together in his opinion. ]

Who knows! Maybe others have gotten these dreams, but they've only mentioned it amongst their own. I'm sure you'd be able to be quite convincing, at least, since you would threaten to fight them if they were withholding something, I'd guess!

[ Break laughs like this is a joke, but is it really... ]

[He seconds that idea if it'll keep people from talking about their fabricated love life. He's Tired™.]

We could bring it up early on... If this sort of thing continues to happen, it must have important tie-ins to whatever is going on behind the scenes here, right? I've heard some people have been running into ghosts too, around the schoolhouse and such. If we can't discuss it in trial- [Because let's be real, they need all the time they can get.] -then I think we should host a meeting on Monday morning, before the incentives go up and people start getting distracted again.

Hey, I wouldn't threaten to fight anyone! [UM WOW who do you think she is???] I'd just beat them up until they told us everything!

I'm with Gilbert on this one. We can't distract people during a trial and risk letting the killer get away - wasting time on the first day is necessary so we don't waste time on the second! [The first day is to get all the terrible theories she has out of the way okay!!]

[ that's pretty much the same thing, undyne... ]

[ But Break doesn't question it, and he instead nods, complete with a flap of his sleeve in their direction, the true sign of acceptance. ]

Ah, a Monday sounds good too! We just need to be sure to drag everyone there, in that case... So perhaps that's a task well suited to you, Undyne? You can beat them up if they refuse! Or put a boulder in front of their door. Either or~.

Break...

[JUST A QUIET WARNING "BREAK" but he knows Undyne will probably jump at the opportunity to gently beat people into submission for a group meeting, god. What's wrong with Team Pride.]

It shouldn't be too difficult to gather people together, anyway. Most of them pass through the kitchen before the motives are announced.

[Where Gilbert lies in wait like some sort of breakfast death trap, only without the death, thankfully.]

I'LL TOTALLY DO IT!! [But then Gilbert has to go and ruin her fun WOW WHY WON'T YOU LET HER BEAT UP PEOPLE] ...or that could work too, I guess.

[But then her expression goes thoughtful.] You really think any of this info will help us bust outta here though? All I've gotten so far is that there might be ghosts around - which isn't helpful if they're not gonna bother to stick around and actually do something - and that our teams might have creepy little girl leaders - which we can't do anything about since trying to kill them in our dreams doesn't have any effect.

What? She's so enthusiastic, so we shouldn't stifle that spark of youth~.

[ Is Break even joking about this... It kind of seems like it, but it also seems like he'd genuinely enjoy Undyne manhandling people into submission. It's probably both, honestly. ]

From what we have now? No, I doubt it. Even if we assemble all of these pieces, we may find that there's absolutely nothing to be gained for it. But simply sitting around waiting for another to be tempted into [ sinning ] murder doesn't sit well with me. If there's something to be done, however small, then it's worth pursuing.

Don't get her into trouble by encouraging that.

[What if she accidentally manhandles an immune or something?? That said--]

I agree with Break. I don't think we'll get far yet, but a start is a start.

Hey, I'm standing right here, you know!! Besides, the two of you are way more likely to get into trouble than I am! [Or at least Break is...Gilbert will probably just be bullied into it.]

Well, I guess there's nothing we can do for now until we get all the info. [Moving on from Serious Business!] So what do you two nerds do for fun all day anyway? Please don't tell me it's just this. [OLD PEOPLE...]

[ Break is ready to object that he's not the one to get in trouble (he totally is), but the actual question catches him a bit off guard. He considers it, looks Gilbert's way, then shrugs. ]

...Well, Gilbert makes tea in the afternoon.

[ it's just this ]

We are not.

[Except they are... They both came close to Death in their respective trials and little dream demons have it out for them, but hey! At least their bad luck is canon.

He also has no idea that he should totally be ashamed of the fact that they're both Elderly, but he's feeling preemptively judged anyway.]

What's wrong with "just this", anyway?

[Wow. Wow. This normally never happens, but Undyne sure is breaking out the Sad Eyes of Pity right now. Congratulations, where sweaty otaku nerds and nearly blind guard dogs and lonely crying ghosts have failed, you two losers have succeeded.]

...seriously? I mean I know Break has the excuse of being old and sick, but geez Gilbert, you're way too young to be this boring already! Come on, there's gotta be something you're passionate about besides sitting in a room all day wasting your youth! [or shotas...]

[ Break absolutely sees an opportunity here to tease Gilbert, so you better believe he takes it. ]

Oh, there is! He's very passionate about looking after Oz. ♥

[ it's creepy ]

[WHY IN THE HECK IS HE STUCK WITH THIS PUNK.]

Break... [But on the other hand, he can't argue at all because It's True.] She meant hobbies.

[1) Taking care of Oz is a lifestyle, okay!! But 2) his canon hobby is also "knitting scarves" so, I mean. Here we are.]

[Well...looking after Papyrus is also her hobby so she has no room to speak here. Not that she's going to let go of an opportunity to tease Gilbert either though.]

Oh? Who's Oz, your sibling? Boyfriend? [Looking Gilbert up and down and then in an incredibly doubtful tone of voice] ...girlfriend?

[ This is exactly why Break brought it up, and the results are even better than he expected. At first, he just laughs politely at "sibling," but as Undyne continues, it just turns into full-on cackling. Especially at the doubt in his tone. Go ahead, Gilbert!! Explain!! ]

[UNDYNE???? All of those guesses just earn her a look of Agitation that becomes Increasingly Agitated as she goes.]

Wh— No! None of those things! I'm Oz's servant.

[But he says it with the same sort of tone that someone would announce their bff4life with...]
