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]
