I don't remember much about my life before getting to the Bureau, I'll admit, but I do remember that on these missions we'd often share our findings together on one of these posts.

So here's another little hub for sharing that information and perhaps missed connections, too.

I haven't found much myself out by the ruins, but I did notice... has anyone been hearing strange voices?

[ooc: as suggested, you can use this post to share your findings in one cool spot. Mia won't respond to everything, but that means you can pretty much threadjack as you wish.]

Maya! So you're a friend of my little sister's? Good to hear :) Yes, that was along the lines of what i was hearing as well.

Thank you so much. I think that should give us some leads.

I'm thinking about organizing a team to check out the necrotic energy past the wall, too. If we're all careful, there should be a way to investigate without getting too hurt.

[doubledsofjustice]

You mean a way past without encountering any of the cursed?


we haven't heard from any of the other Bureau members. You don't think "her" could be the director, could it?

[philoxenia]

Yes, exactly. I did run into something down there, but I'm very certain it's gone now. It didn't appear when I went back through.

That was my initial thought... I'm not sure who else it could be.

[doubledsofjustice]

That just begs the question- what could she need help with?

Has she been with us here the whole time?

[doubledsofjustice]

You should have been inoculated when you entered the Bureau of Balance. ALl of the rest of us were...

You weren't forced to drink the voidfish

drink?

But no, I don't think they were under the stage. Invisible's possible, but it sounded as if their voice was right next to me, or in my own head

[mccreehaw]

[ Look, he's having nicotine withdrawal here. You can only expect so much of him. But he does send along the text he's completed before switching back to voice. The main gist of it is explained, ending with the umbrella swimming out of McCree's grasp. ]

So I figure the umbrella wants me to find Lucretia and that mystery elf.

[spaghettimonster]

MYSTERIOUS. I DIDN'T HEAR A STAGE VOICE IN MY HEAD...
MAYBE YOUR PERFORMANCE UNLOCKED SOMETHING SPECIAL.

IF I'VE STEPPED INTO BUREAU, WARDROBE, OR CLOSET,
I HAVEN'T REMEMBERED YET.
UNLESS...
WAIT.

WAIT.
IS THAT... THE VENDING MACHINE DRINK?
THOSE VILE VIALS OF MYSTERY FLUID?
-THAT- I DRANK.

got a map from a weird guy

[Attached: map.png]

he says we should check out that really obviously ominous volcano place
but he didn't put those thorns there
(hold that thought)
so we should probably rescue whoever's there
i'm guessing lucretia since those thorns are in the murals too
speaking of
same guy?
sang me and angus a song

[Attached: song.txt, because Sans is not singing it for you, sorry.]

so yeah if we want to believe them
they're the ones who are giving us some extra time to deal with that whole hunger thing
it's hard for them to talk to us i guess
even if they sometimes do it via song
so maybe we can figure out some better way for them to do that

also lucretia had a curse put on her and the hunger got to her
that's not from the singing guy that's something angus remembered

also i shouldn't have to say this but if lucretia or anyone else we're looking for is on volcano heart island
this is a rescue mission
not fight club

so anyway i'm going on break

BRING MORE WHAT?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE "MORE" IS?

ALSO, THIS IS TERRIFYING NEWS, THANK YOU!!
HAVE YOU TOLD ANYONE??
LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO GUARD THE WALL? OR THE DANCERS?

un: PAPYRUS

[spaghettimonster]

THORN MURAL...
YOU MEAN THAT MURAL WITH THE DRAGON??
OR DRAGONS. I DIDN'T COUNT THEM.

ANYWAY. I UNDERSTAND LUCRETIA GOT GOT BY THE HUNGER.
AND THE WEIRD GUY DIDN'T MAKE THE THORNS...
ARE THORNS NOTORIOUSLY HUNGRY?
SHOULD RESCUERS BRING SNACKS TO THE THORN VOLCANO?

[ribticklers]

those are the ones
the dragon was the one doing the singing

can't hurt to bring snacks
but i don't think the thorns are going to want them
if you're thinking about those, the problem is getting around them
it's a real thorny situation
but maybe lulu'll be hungry when we get there

[spaghettimonster]

WHAT?!
THE DRAGON NEVER SANG TO ME...

WE COULD DISTRACT THEM WITH SNACKS.
THEN SNEAK AROUND THEM.
WHAT THORN DOESN'T WANT TO STOP FOR A BITE??
I'VE SET VERY SUCCESSFUL TRAPS WITH THAT, YOU KNOW!

I asked Legend Lore about the Gilded Wall, and...it gave me a poem.

[He proceeds to recite the poem. He's not good at poetry, but he gets the point across.]

So...yeah. Between that and everything else we know, I wouldn't be surprised if it is Lucretia in the volcano, and if she's the source of the Cursed.

[They already knew Lucretia was powerful, or at least knowledgeable about magic, and Powerful And Cursed is not a good combination.]

No one gives any straight answers around here, huh? It's all songs and poems.

Sooooo we're all gonna take Mira's mirror tunnel to the volcano, is what it's sounding like.

un: sans; text

[ribticklers]

gonna go ahead and repeat the
"the goal is to rescue lucretia alive in one piece"
thing
even if she's angry enough to blow her top

[ribticklers]

did you tell it a knock knock joke?
also do you know what thorns eat?

[By now Sans has seen there's a mirror maze that connects to volcano heart island but that is not going to stop this conversation.]

[spaghettimonster]

NO?
WAIT, IS THAT WHAT YOU DID?
WHAT DO KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES HAVE TO DO WITH SINGING??

[He doesn't know what thorns eat, either, but he's not about to admit to not knowing TWO things in the same message.]

un: PAPYRUS

[spaghettimonster]

Don't forget those murals! And the dancing.

People here must really like art.

un: PAPYRUS

[spaghettimonster]

So it might be dangerous to just free her... The Purging dance beats the Cursed with love, but, their boss must be super strong. Maybe even stronger than the dance...

[Lola said anger makes powerful emotion magic too, after all. Imagine being powerful enough to just make the Cursed. Scary!]

...A lot of you remember her, don't you? Do you think we can help her bridle her rage??

[unrecovered]

Honestly, that's probably the best plan we have. We should get as much information as we can before we go, but...I don't know how much time we have.

[unrecovered]

C'mon, Sans, you-

["You know me better than that" dies in his throat. That's right; Sans doesn't anymore.]

...you know she's important. We need her if we're going to get through all of this.

all the greatest people love knock knock jokes

2/2; locked to papyrus

[ribticklers]

[Speaking of people liking knock-knock jokes...]

i remembered something from home
but don't get too excited
it's not a lot

[He said he'd help Papyrus with the memory thing, though, and maybe this will help?]

[hxppythxughts]

yeah i love maya shes so cool and nice!!! ♡(.◜ω◝.)♡ were good friends!!!

[Not that Sayori can remember very well, but. She's sure of this.]

if u go back there be RLY RLY careful!!! those things looked super scary (*´･Д･) and there were so many...
but ur super strong so i bet u would be ok!!! esp with a cool team!!!

[More things that Sayori can't really remember, but knows nonetheless.]

if you think i'm not responding to these separately i am afraid you have a second think coming

[spaghettimonster]

WHAT DO KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES HAVE TO DO WITH GREATNESS!?
