stones of farspeech; during the eruption

[goat_mom]

Greetings. I am Toriel. I am with a man called Tim. We are in the Roaka village.

There has been a volcanic eruption, and we seem to have lost a fair amount of our number, especially children. We are looking for two children known as Chara and Frisk, as well as children named Ren and Chip... but there are others among us who are missing. We need to know how many there are. If you have located them or seen them recently, or if you are yourself lost and can hear this message, or if you know that someone you know is missing, please respond as soon as you are able.

Thank you.

I'm in...a cave...

[Presumably in the mountain?]

There's a lot of kids here, but so far they're all trees. Or Yuuri. [who he found down here also]

[goat_mom]

[Oh! A response. Thank goodness. Though the detail that the trees are there is... strange. She makes note of that.]

A cave? I see. Can you make out anything? Do you remember any details of when you were taken?

[eudaimonikos]

Rocks, mostly. I don't remember how I got down here - I think I might have been unconscious? Very weird, that doesn't usually happen to me.

[goat_mom]

Are there any clues as to where this cave is? Rumbling, rocks falling, and the like?

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah, seems like it might cave in. We've been trying to find a way out.

[goat_mom]

A cave-in? Surely, you are not in the volcano?

[eudaimonikos]

[.....]

Sorry, the what?

[there's a volcano now?]

[goat_mom]

The volcano. One of the mountains has erupted.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, that's fun.

[He's not so alarmed for himself; he's very used to that sort of thing. But the others...?]

I'll work on getting everyone out of here, guess you may as well evacuate.

[goat_mom]

Thank you, but we will not evacuate. We will meet you outside the mountain. [Is at least what she thinks will happen.] Tim thinks you are not in the volcano.

Keep us alerted to your progress and let us know anything you think would be helpful.

[eudaimonikos]

At least evacuate the less useful ones.

[but alright, whatever, he's coming]

[atailoftwoworlds]

Toriel! Is that you? Are you and Tim both safe? [If that's the Tim he's thinking of.Fuck this eruption]

[goat_mom]

Yes, it is me. Tim and I are safe.

And what of you? Are you safe?

[atailoftwoworlds]

I'm fine. [He was under the mountain for a while but he's out and putting himself in danger to help as many as he can. Because Zidane.] It'll take a lot more to keel me over.

Anyway, you said you're looking for two kids? Can you describe 'em? I'll keep a lookout for them and let you know if I find out anything.

[goat_mom]

Four children, but I do not know what Ren or Chip look like.

Frisk is a short, brown-haired child with light brown skin. Chara is a pale, taller child with a pinkness to their cheeks. They both often wear striped shirts, and Chara is known for wearing a locket. If you see them, please let me know at once.

[atailoftwoworlds]

Ren? I think I might have met her actually. [If she's that same girl who played in an ink gun fight with him when he first arrived.] I don't know the others though. I'll look and ask around though. When did you last see Frisk and Chara?

[goat_mom]

That is the problem. I have not seen them at all, not here. The last time I saw Frisk and Chara... was at home. Chara I have not seen for many, many years.

[atailoftwoworlds]

[Wait why would she look for them here if she last saw them back home? Unless they did arrive here, she found out about it and Tim saw them? That must be it.] All right. Then when did Tim last see them?

[goat_mom]

[Unfortunately, by the time she responds, Things Have Happened, namely Tim getting a few lungfuls of smoke and losing consciousness. She sounds out of breath when she speaks, from carrying him.]

I do not know that either. I did not ask, and I am afraid that Tim has lost consciousness.

Please, I know my information has not been a great aid to you... but if you do find the children, tell me.

[atailoftwoworlds]

[Zidane would make an answer in response to the "Tell me if you find the children" part but the first part has got his attention.]

What?! He's unconscious? Where are you guys?

[goat_mom]

[It's a little while before she responds again - no time to, not while she's in the middle of carrying him.]

Tim is at my home now. He is safe.

[antepone]

You can't find Ren?

[ Oh no. ]

I'll look for here where I am. There are a lot of people here.
