[And not long after that message, a second photo comes through of a very confused looking flower clutched between someone's fingers. Two guesses as to whose fingers.]
[It's a while before Frisk responds to the first text - long enough for them to receive a notice on the wide network, beat feet to the Mess Hall, and hear straight from the skeleton's mouth where Toriel is. Or rather, where she isn't. They're in the middle of finally texting a reply to Chara when the new one comes in, and their fingers freeze over the keypad.]

[Well, they'll get to the topic of Flowey in a minute. First, they have a favor to make good on. Back at base, they're starting to put some of the clues together, and the big picture isn't looking so great.]
Toriel is missing too. She's with a different group. I texted her. She's okay. We're making search parties.
[That's how this works, isn't it? We make a deal. In exchange for this, that. Birds are singing, angels are falling, on days like thesekidslikeyoushould...]

Ask everyone. Do these rooms open backwards? Otherwise. make sure you dust off my statue.

That's not funny.
[And then no more came. For a while.]

[They refuse.]
