five ☠ video | open to both sides!

[lingeringfear]

[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.

Don't be stupid. It isn't over - just do it again, and do it right.

[Hope is angry, stressed, sharp. All normal for him, of course, but in this case it's on an entirely different level.]

"Finally" failed? You are a failure, this is a new low but it's hardly out of the ordinary for you.

[somuchlove]

What did you do.

[They woke up and Asriel and Frisk were gone. They woke up and there's a huge wall blocking off the way out.

To say Chara is angry is being nice.]

What did you do?

video.

[dylinquent]

What's going on?!

( Because every post needs a freaked out 16 year old right? )

[fifthreturned]

Hey, no apologies. You did your best. Maybe we can figure something out, yeah?

[64th]

what do you mean, "it ends here"

audio.

[dedikated]

( You have got to be kidding her. The reason this is audio is because there's no fucking light here, thanks, Fear. )

Glad you're sorry.

( WHAT SARCASM. )

The hell are we s'posed to do now?

( Goddammit, Fear. )

[whip_poor_will]

[Guess who's not all smiles and feel-goods right now.]

Who is the most at immediate risk?

[avephoenix]

What-- it wasn't enough? What I did?

[Of course it wasn't, and she knows that, but she's still a bit... fragile. She just woke up yesterday, after all.]

What's happening? Is there anything I can do?

[blessedmaiden]

Okay, why were you trying to move the city, exactly?

[Kain isn't replying to her messages so... maybe her friend is on the other side-whatever that means? Still, there are priorities in life.]

And, most important, how can we fix this? I'm sure there is a way to get around this issue... somehow.

[drabsolutelynot]

I'm afraid sorry isn't going to help much.

[wormintheglass]

I thought you were Fear, not Self-Pity?

audio

[sarestes]

What the hell were you trying to do?

[Funny. That's the second time he's had to ask this exact question. Aren't the gods supposed to superior?]

[Video]

[thechoiceisyours]

Okay, so, if I've got this right you tried to move the city and only moved half of it, so one half's stuck somewhere not great?

[He looked over the other conversations but isn't totally sure if that's the right idea. But no matter what exactly is wrong, his next question is the same--]

What can we do to help?

[beanstalk]

Apology not accepted, the hell did you do this time?

[Video]

[elegant_and_proud]

[She's been looking over all of the conversations and she is not a happy camper to discover that her home in Delight's area is now inaccessible. Thankfully she's at least got her sword. But priorities. One does not live the mercenary lifestyle for as long as she has without knowing how to focus on more immediate concerns.]

Tell us as much as you can about the ones who killed so many of you. Do you know of their weaknesses? What do they gain from killing you?

video

[skelebro]

Okay.

[Yep, he's completely bypassing accusations for now. The gods have gotten more than enough of that from pretty much damn near everyone, and it ain't exactly what he, or anyone else, would call helpful.]

What do you need from us?

[Video]

[save_theworld]

No.

[Sorry sir, that isn't good enough.]

I refuse. You can do a little better.

[video]

[sciencelizard]

[She's in side B, so her connection's a little messy, but she also looks appropriately frazzled in hoping her messages get across.]

Is t-there any way we can repair the network, or-- I mean, supply some technology for what you were doing? Make a generator, or, or s-something??

video

[unitas]

[ Sharon has gone through the post, seen all the replies and can feel the general sense of panic. She hasn't determined whether or not this isn't all just some elaborate fucking plan on the gods' part, just another way to fuck with them, but it doesn't feel that way. ]

What needs to be done? Stop flipping your shit at one another, get the fuck over this idea of failure, and start directing.

video

[outstandingbalance]

[Natasha keeps a calm face, because she's good at that.]

So what happens now, specifically? The city gets split in two. What can we expect to happen as a result?

[einselective]

[Not in the least pleased, but trying to keep as calm as possible under the circumstances, Marian's flat comment after reading the details so far:]

Why not just open the Door and bring in more people and monsters for your sick emotional needs.

[Video]

[mismanagement]

How utterly predictable. And if you are done making excuses for your numbers and abject failures, then you had best present your solution.

Or better yet, give us the tools to fix it ourselves. We cannot possibly fail worse than you have.

Is waiting to die any better than going out fighting? Hope's right. If there's a chance for us all to get out of this, than we've got to fight for it. It's not over until it actually is.
