[ Undyne had said she wanted more guidance from ALASTAIR. Here she is, with more guidance, and she doesn’t know if she likes it. Looking more ragged than ever, she’s standing with Pearl, with the volcano Nalalona in the background. ]

Alright chumps, listen up, it’s time for some teamwork! ALASTAIR has some ideas about what we can do to get the volcano going again, so everyone can get their powers back. ...it’s going to involve a bomb.

[Pearl clears her throat, despite the fact her body is flickering in and out of view at some points during the video. The Gem stands tall as she gestures back to the volcano.]

This is correct. ALASTAIR has entrusted us with schematics of creating a bomb and a catapult. It’s up to us to gather the necessary supplies and assemble them.

They have observed a high level of tectonic plate activity here, near the Nalalona volcano. With enough force -- the bomb in this case -- we can possibly trigger an eruption and restore the natives’ Gifts, along with our own magical abilities. The volcano’s opening is large enough for us to hit our mark with the bomb. It’s up to us to put it all together.


We can’t afford to not try. Look around you, half our team relies on magic just to exist. This isn’t just about helping the natives use magic anymore, this about saving ourselves. If you don’t use magic, good for you, but if you have a heart, you’ll understand why this is important, and why if I catch anyone slacking off, they’ll be answering to my spear about why they don't think it's important. Got it?!

[Pearl glances to Undyne and offers her a weak smile. The situation they were all facing was quite dire. She faces the feed again.]

I know we have the ability to make this work. And we will, if we all work together on this. Every little bit helps!

[ OOC note: There will be a mod-posted mass log on the 16th for gathering/construction/etc. Pearl and Undyne will be around, and feel free to use this post to chat among each other as well! ]

[ OOC edit: The NPCs Crowley and Cherenkov speak! ]

You're talking about throwing an explosive into a volcano. Don't let fear disguise what you are doing to protect yourself, no matter what ALISTAIR tells you there is no foolproof way to combine weaponry and uncertain natural elements. There could be people in danger, and you don't know that it'll help anything.

ALISTAIR is the one that sent magical beings here without consideration to how it would affect them. I suggest you call them on it instead of blindly taking their guidance, without knowing how it will result.

( he shakes his head, weariness apparent. being heartless in an unmagical land doesn't work any better for him than a magical being in an unmagical land. )

I'll do what I can. Perhaps you're right that I'm doing nothing but dissenting. ( it isn't much, but he'll try to do what he can. even if one person won't make much of a difference when the majority of the team is trying to make a bomb. )

[HOO BOY THIS SURE IS UNDYNE GETTING TOO EXCITED FOR HER HEALTH!! And knowing this, Papyrus takes her communicator away before she can go on another rant, gently tapping the side of her face as he does. ]

Undyne, you did a really good job!! But there's an emergency... way over there that needs your help!! You know, over where the beds are!! I'll catch up with you later!!

[And, once he's shooed Undyne off... ]

Hello, Graham!! I don't mean to interrupt like this! But Undyne gets very passionate when she's arguing and I'm worried about that draining her faster!

But!! I wanted to let you know!! That the bomb isn't explosive. I mean, unless sea urchins and coconuts are explosive?? Because I looked at the ingredients list. And this seems less like a bomb, and more like... a present!

I know you're really worried... and I am too.

They're trying to reactivate a volcano, Papyrus. I don't care what the ingredients to the bomb they propose are. That's dangerous, no matter what they're telling us.

( Undyne isn't the only one that finds debate especially draining, though. he doesn't have much left himself. )

I am worried. If this is the path we decide to take, everyone should be aware of the risks. If I could hand everyone the better solution, I would. I wish more of us would question the people putting us in danger, instead of blindly trusting them when they've done nothing to deserve it.

I've said my peace. I'll say no more.

( talking isn't helping. acting might be the only thing that will help, and he'd rather do something productive, or at least try to. )

I'm sorry I upset your friend.

... I'm sorry too. I... have faith that what we're doing is going to end up okay in the end! Otherwise, well...

An island isn't a bad place to fall down! Nyeh...

Um. Good luck, Graham!

[ Once he's done speaking with Graham, Papyrus moves to take a seat next to Undyne, placing a hand on her back. ]

I think they'll all come around soon! And I mean... even if they don't, we have enough people who will help find the materials that we can build it anyway. It'll be okay!

...

Some of the humans will help do it. And some won't. You know not all humans are the same, and it's wrong to think less of them for something one does! Graham feels very strongly about this because he's just worried. But I think things will be okay!

Hey, let's both just watch the sky from here for a while!

[You know, lie down for a while. Chill out.]

I think that'll be an okay thing to do.

[ The sky won't know she's being mad at it, after all. It can take all of one's anger or sadness without any repercussions. ]

When we help the people here, I assume!

[ He can tell she's pretty miserable right now, but. ]

... Even if right now isn't so great... I don't think I could give up the sun.

...

[He, unfortunately, doesn't have much to say in reply to that. He can't defend the opinions of those who want them to not take action, when it should be obvious that it'll cause all those magic-based beings to suffer and die. It isn't as if it's just him hurting, it's Sans, it's Undyne, it's many others as well.

Instead, he does what he can.

That cloud... looks like a flower!

What!

[ He calls out loudly, as if he's appalled, when really he's just glad she's playing along. ]

You don't see the petals?? That couldn't be... well, I suppose, if the bear had two more legs...! Alright, I concede it can look like a shark fighting a bear, if you squint and turn your head sideways!
