five ☠ video | open to both sides!
[There's something distinctly different about Fear when he turns the video on this time. He seems even less human than normal, not breathing, not blinking, as if he's forgotten how to manipulate his form so that it actually appears lifelike.
He manages to move his mouth as he speaks, but the motion doesn't quite sync up with the words echoed in through the mic.]
...so I've finally failed.
[His eyes are unfocused, but he looks downward, contemplative.]
I only got half the city out. It won't be enough- we can't start over, not without Hope. So it ends here, I suppose.
[He takes in his first breath since beginning the recording, letting it out in a long sigh.]
I'm sorry.

[Frustrated.]
I knew we'd be reviving them into death again- I knew we would, but you wouldn't listen. You're so stubborn and so stupid, like you believe that we can keep surviving if we try hard enough but we can't. We just can't, and we're going to die again, and there's nothing we can do-
[Fear cuts himself off midsentence and his anger leaves him as quickly as it had come. There's a quiet moment of reflection there, and then he shakes his head and speaks, his tone a little softer than before.]
...I know you want to believe. I just don't see it.
video
[Hope is angry still.]
You don't need to see it my way, you just need to listen to me. We can get out of this. We'll get power from the ones on this side, Rage and Delight can protect us until then. I'll give you whatever power I can. I'm not going to let you die, I'm not going to let any of us die again.
video
[It's without the usual barbs though, and Fear is relenting, just a little.]
...but if I get the power, I'll use it. I can't spare anything to scare them- you'll need to work with me.
video
[His tone is sharp, but he looks relieved.]
I'll do everything that I can. There are things we can do, I think, and maybe some of them will help.
video
[But he's not exactly hopeful about their chances.]
It depends on how long it takes them to find us. I won't even be able to attempt another movement for at least a few days.
video
[He is determinedly hopeful.]
We'll get you the power.
video
[He lets out a long sigh.]
We'll try again.
video
video
[Sorry for intruding on what's probably a rather personal conversation, but you see, they need to have a word. With you.
Yeah.]
Um. I guess... you're really scared that your friends are going to die again. And that is scary; I'm scared, too.
But if we don't try, they will. Isn't it better to try?
Can you please try?
video
I tried. I used most of what I had to move just that much. Everyone is asking me for things that aren't possible with what I have now.
video
That's why we're all going to try. Can I do something?
video
[Stupid inspirational children, stop being so inspirational :c]
If you're with me, I need your fear. If you aren't- Sorrow is saying that you need to try and keep the city together.
video
[...No. They aren't.]
But I'll ask Sorrow what I can do. And we'll meet in the middle.
[See? No fear.
....
Uh. One Fear.]
video
For- this.
[Sans is right- a single kid really can make a lot of difference when it comes to inspiration. At least Frisk did it in a nicer way than Chara.]

What side of the city are you on?
Text
But for real, man. We all make mistakes. I get you, trust me. You just gotta let us help you out. You guys get your strength from our feelings, right?
So, if you look at it that way, we failed you.
Text
You did. But we'd been planning around that, and that plan fell through.
Text
Alright, sure, I'll definitely do my best. And don't you give up, either. I believe in you, Fear-dude. :)
Text
[What's with these people being nice to him, all of a sudden?]
video
But the sentiment's sincere.]
We're not giving up over here.
So don't give up wherever you are, okay?
video
Finally, he relents, if just a little.]
...okay.
video
His words are steady, even with his face sliced through with static.]
No harm in trying.
video
[Thanks, Sans. You did good.]
no subject
Wasn't much his plan, anyhow. But one determined kid can be real, real convincing in a time of crisis.]
