Wayfinding: Heavy Downmoor (for Flowey)

[loopsiedaisy]

[This quest has begun right out the gate with awkward silence - at least on Siffrin's part. If the two of them had met up in Skull Town, rather than at the border of the valley on the way to the Downmoor, they might have been... a little tempted to just ditch... but as is, on seeing Flowey they started bristling at first, then kind of bemusedly smoothed out, and now they have been glancing at him thoughtfully.]

[There were several things Flowey said to them last time that were... different from his usual. In retrospect it almost seems like he was trying to be comforting, a little? And one part even turned out to be true. Siffrin wasn't in a mental state to remember everything else perfectly, but they are wondering now.]

[It takes until they're partway into the trees, that little patch of dense woods separating the Valley from the Downmoor, before the say:] ...did you mean it? What you said the other night?

[They're not sure if they should expect a truthful answer from Flowey, but also...]

[Meanwhile, on Siffrin's part, they are looking much better than they were a couple of days ago. They're still twitchy amd a little distracted about something, but they don't outright look like a soggy wet rag. Metaphorically.]

Intimidation Tactics (for Henry)

[loopsiedaisy]

[Spoiler alert: the Southern Woods suck!!!]

Don't pay too much attention to any markers. It's easier to follow your nose, [Siffrin says.]

[Mostly easier. It can still get confused or cut off or wound together, but if you're sniffing the air all the time, it doesn't seem to change on you as abruptly as markers and landmarks vanishing and appearing in other places. That happens pretty much as soon as you look away.]

[Actually. They peer up at Henry's pseudo-goggled face.]

How well can you smell...?
