@pscentral event 30: friendship ↳ Kris and Susie: Deltarune Chapters 1 & 2

insp

[barrelrollgif]

i hate the side of the deltarune fandom that is like “kris is evil!!1!1! kris is a psychopath who would kill everyone if we werent controlling them!!1!”

like, no. that is actually not factual. stop giving me fanon chara flashbacks. stop making kris out to be a sadistic killer.

this is really inaccurate and honestly kind of annoying. so, here’s some things that show how inaccurate the “kris is evil” speculation is:

kris has broken out of our control before and never directly harms anyone. they had the chance to. they DIDN'T.

the snowgrave route smile? that’s an illusion created by the fence. this may be an intentional illusion, but no, kris is not enjoying this. kris isn’t happy, kris isn’t indifferent. kris is noticed by susie and ralsei to look upset after the frozen chicken incident.

pie eating? tire slashing? dark world opening? if i was being possessed and i just broke free for a moment i would eat an entire pie and be a bit destructive. also, the tire slashing and dark world opening may have been deliberately planned. not sure what the plan is but they aren't trying to hurt people. like i said in my first point, kris did have a knife and instead of stabbing toriel and susie, kris opened a dark world and slashed the tires of their mom’s car. if kris was trying to hurt them, stabbing them with a knife is more efficient than slashing tires and opening a dark world.

at the end of chapter one, kris defends susie. if kris was a sadistic killer, they would’ve just watched. kris actively defended susie.

kris probably isn’t the knight (implied to be a bad guy.) the king and queen probably would’ve recognized them, as they have seen the knight before. kris is not trying to bring about the roaring (which seems to be the knight’s goal) and the roaring would kill everyone so… yeah.

kris tried to tell undyne about dark worlds, and it is implied that kris tried to tell undyne because dark worlds can be dangerous and they didn’t want people to get hurt.

i probably missed some examples but overall, kris probably isn't evil. sure, it’s implied that kris has a dark sense of humor and a mischievous streak, but kris doesn’t seem to want to hurt people. if anything, they seem to be a silly kind of pacifistic outside of our choices.

more fanon things i despise under cut (slightly problematic stuff in first paragraph, very problematic stuff in second paragraph)

oh yeah also, another common fanon misinterpretation. referring to kris with he/him pronouns. no what the fuck why? they are literally only referred to with they/them pronouns in canon. it literally is not that hard. where are you getting “he” from? where?

drawing kris with huge tits is another fanon misinterpretation! if you do this, i will block you. what the actual fuck is wrong with the people who do this? i hate to break it to the fan artists who do this but they’re a minor. that is implied to be nonbinary. but most of all they’re a MINOR. don’t do that. just don’t. that is gross.

anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Fantastical Escapism - A Deltarune Fic

Kris' body walked lazily towards their classroom, their black and red coontails brushing against their green and yellow striped sweater with every step They took.

They felt the SOUL barely manage to supress the chills that threatened to ravage their body, their body rejecting itself because the form they were in was so small, so little, so wrong.

(Their body was as huge and limitless as outer space. They could cup the sun and moon and the stars in their hand whenever they wanted, or simply looked down upon the beings that resided in the lesser level of reality, watching in amusement as they went about their fleeting, daily lives that would be wiped out of existence as soon as they walked away.)

Rapidly shaking their head as if that would help the godforsaken (dream? memory?) fade away faster, they began to walk faster towards Ms. Alphys' classroom, their crimson eyes flickering to the door before they stepped inside.

"Oh, K-Kris!" Greeted Alphys, her timid voice resounding throughout the classroom, "Good morning! T-Take a seat!"

They felt a smile form on their face, directed at Alphys, that quickly disappeared as they walked towards their seat right in front of Susie.

"Hey, loser. What took you so long?" Susie teased, yet they could still sense the worry in her tone.

"There were some.. difficulties." They hated how formal and unnatural They spoke, "Worry not. Everything is fine now."

"If you say so.." Susie still sounded somewhat unsure, but she still moved on from the topic, "So.. the usual?"

They felt a smile form on their face that may or may not have been theirs as They replied, "Yes."

"Hell yeah!" Susie exclaimed, and judging by the positive emotions that bloomed from their chest, it seemed both of them were happy at the prospect of hanging out with Susie.

(Sometimes in the late hours of the night, when the moon hung high and the stars shone for everyone to see, they wondered why a being as high as Them would interact with the inhabitants of a lesser world. Yet another mystery pertaining to the vermillion angel that claimed their body as a puppet.)

They barely paid attention to the actual lesson until Alphys needed to go fetch her a pair of scissors from the supply closet.

The poor thing could barely even finish her sentence before Susie jumped up, waving her hand in the air like a crazy person.

"O-of course, Susie.." Alphys nodded her head, the sweat beading down it giving the fact that she was obviously overwhelmed away.

"Woo-hoo! Let's go, Kris!"

"Wait! I didn't say-"

Before Alphys could finish her sentence, they were already outside of the classroom, Susie dragging Kris towards the supply closet they had come to know as a home away from home these past few days.

Before they knew it, they were falling down, down into pure darkness. They instinctively tried to flap Their wings, to escape from the darkness that seemed so foreign to them as a being of pure, all-encompassing light-

"Kris! Susie!" Spoke the voice of a prince of shadows, "Welcome back!"

Based heavily off the 'Player is the Angel' theory

[ralsukriselle]

consider this some Ralsei Positivity to counterbalance all the "ralsei is gonna turn Evil look how Suspicious he is" speculating. it's time we appreciated him a little instead.

sure, he's shrouded in mystery. as to who he is exactly, or what he's a manifestation of, is left unanswered for now. we know he sat, alone, for quite some time, waiting for the Heroes to come fulfill a Prophecy for him. he's got it all planned out, has the Legend ready, tries to make this adventure Intriguing, wearing that hood and playing "Mystical Figure recounting a Tale".

i'm not sure from where he got these ideas, or from whom, but it's clear he's convinced that he has to go a Good Job, or else Unspecified Things will go various degrees of To Shit.

and then his Heroes show up, and oh fuck oh shit it's really happening it's finally happening there's two of them the human and the monster and we're gonna save-

um. why are they fighting a kid on a bike

one of his Heroes is unenthusiastic and a bit standoff-ish towards him and the other one is straight up clobbering everyone in her path. she's decided she's gonna be evil. ok. um.

throughout any of chapter 1, we never see ralsei forcing his ideas onto kris or susie, even though he certainly knows more than we do. but he does Not know how friendship works (how could he?) and sits back and watches anxiously, things resolving themselves in the end anyway, especially in a pacifist run. but! he always grows fond of kris and susie, no matter their choices. even if you go directly against his advice or say nothing nice to him the entire time, he still trusts you and even admires susie. and she's teaching him that you never have to sacrifice yourself entirely. he's learning, give him time!

yes, he can be weirdly dismissive about things, but i believe he has our best interests at heart. he makes special little personalized rooms for kris and susie, second homes, and it makes susie so happy (also kris, probably, though it's obviously significantly harder to get a read on that)! and i can't see that being spun into a "ralsei wants to hold us hostage via escapism methods" narrative, because he's actively pestering them about their homework. is that what an escapist fantasy would do? remind you of your responsibilities back in the Real World? no. loser. ralsei is mom friend. ralsei is toriel.

he knows more than we know, but judging by the end of chapter 2, it's possible he's not always aware that that is the case at all. he's downright shocked everyone would want to cause the Roaring as if they'd know wtf that means.

honestly, i just think it's really great that ralsei accepts susie, and the way she defies the norm and his expectations, despite the responsibility he feels is on their shoulders. and the ambiguous or secrective reactions he tends to have may just be due to the fact that he's never HAD friends, let alone under circumstances where the stakes are as high as they appear to be in the dark worlds. there's no manual on "my new besties may accidentally unleash horrors on the universe but i'm not sure how to tell them that without killing the vibe and also i'm pretty sure one of them has little to no free will"

💜🪓Susie x Fem! Reader headcannons. 🪓💜

Because when you can't find what you want, just do it yourself.

This girl has stolen my heart oml

She/they pronouns are used for the reader.

Warnings: Swearing

* Susie is... not the best with expressing how she feels. This isn't some NEW discovery. Anybody who knows her below the surface level knows that. So, when she started to feel all light and fuzzy inside around you, she didn't know how to tell you. In her mind, it was probably better that way anyway. I mean, she doesn't exactly have the best reputation in school or in general. Not to mention, there's no way in hell that anyone could love her like that. Right?

* Well..

* Even though it's painfully obvious to everyone around you two that you like her, she is absolutely oblivious to any romantic advance you make on her. It's not necessarily that she's dumb, she just doesn't see it with you. She could tell if two people liked each other easily, but if that person's her? Nah, not happening.

* She's tough for sure; not really letting anyone see the non-punchy-I-want-to-kick-everyone's-ass-24/7 side. With you, though? She can let her guard down, just a little. That's something about you that she's always liked. The way she can be more of herself around you like it's nothing. What the hell were you thinking, being so.. cool.. and funny.. and pretty.. and smart.. and just.. so you??? Yeah, what were you thinking, nerd???

* You aren't stupid. You see the way she looks at you from time to time; like she's entranced by what you say, what you do, or just.. you all around. You just didn't think it was true. 'Maybe she's just a little tired today, or maybe she just spaced out for a bit?' Yeah, no. She's just admiring you and the way you do pretty much everything.

* In the dark world, it was pretty hard for the !?!? Squad to not have to pull you two away from each other; you were almost always talking, or messing around, or unknowingly flirting. (Despite how bad Susie is with it)

* Oh boy, was it hard for you not to get absolutely absorbed with her there. It was hard anyway, but in the dark world? Oh honey sweetie darling gravy, do you have a big storm coming. The way her messy hair flowed as she walked, her big cocky grin, how her outfit just made her look 10× more badass.. man. Kris was surprised you didn't, like, make out with her right then and there (though they'd like to not see that but would be happy for you two nonetheless).

* Speaking of which, Kris is a wingman to you two, basically. With how silent and off-putting they are sometimes, they're surprisingly good with quietly getting you two alone, much to Ralsei's confusion.

* Susie didn't know how to react when she saw you in your dark world form. As she would put it: "(WHY THE HELL DO THEY LOOK SO.. PRETTY??? AND REALLY FUCKING SICK LOOKING???) What, you trying to one-up me or something? MY BADASSERY CAN'T BE MATCHED, SO SUCK IT!" She says, in the most non serious way ever. You rolled your eyes as you looked away, your cheeks turning a faint hue of pink. She thought it was cute but assumed it was just the lighting.

* She'll always stand closer up to you than the others will. She likes being near you, no duh, but she also just wants a good look at you whenever she does something particularly flashy to see if you're impressed, or see your reactions to things she says. (She's HILARIOUS)

* Susie is protective of you for sure, but you never really take notice unless someone says something to you to your face.

"You wanna repeat that, dipshit?" And oh how she loved watching the color drain from their face as they realized who was behind them.

"Say anything like that again, and I'll rip you to shreds, you got that, freak?"

* the few times you got to see that happen, you couldn't say you didn't feel butterflies all around. She wanted to protect you? Gosh, she cared that much? You could definitely take care of yourself, but seeing her do that for you made you fall for her a little more those days.

* When she eventually did confess to you, it was.. less than graceful. Kris and Ralsei had pressured her to do it, since they knew it would get no where with how oblivious you two were to each others affection. She took you behind the school, where no prying eyes would see (Kris) and fumbled on her words.

"Hey.. so um.." she started, trailing off. Damn.. when the hell was she this nervous? "Y-yeah? What did you want to talk to me about?" You ushered. She fiddled with her hands and put an arm on her neck. She paused before eventually starting. "Okay, listen. I just wanted to say that I think you're really cool and was wondering if y-you're free tomorrow..? Maybe we can go to QC's orsomethingidontknow..." She very quickly spat out. "Oh! Yeah, sure, is there any particular reason why? I think you're a pretty nice person too!" You smiled, a blush on your face. (God dammit.. she didn't pick up what I meant?? And UGH, WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT..????) She thought. Her face was definitely painted in confusion. Then, it turned to frustration. She grabbed your shoulders tight and shook you up, yelling through her sharp teeth. "COULD YOU SERIOUSLY NOT TELL WHAT I'M SAYING??? ARE YOU STUPID??? DEAF?? SUFFERING BRAIN DAMAGE OR SOMETHING??? IM SAYING THAT I WANT TO DATE YOU, DUMBASS!" She released you from her hold, and you had to take a second to compose yourself after being shook so violently, but also to process. "Oh."

...

"OH!!??" Susie crossed her arms and looked down, her hair covering her eyes, hiding her expression. She thought that meant you didn't like her back, and was fully prepared to go back to being the edgy, angry person she once was.

"H..huh!?"

Her thoughts were cut off by a warmth she hadn't felt in a while. She looked towards you, and you were.. hugging her? "HEYWHATAREYOUDOING?" She jumped back, surprised, her eyes wide. You stood still a moment and laughed. You covered your mouth and laughed. "UM? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LAUGHING AT?" She asked loudly, and you reduced your laughter to giggles. "I'm sorry.. I just.. that was so.. cute!" You looked at her in a way that made her heart pound through her chest. "Cute?" She chuckled, "who do YOU think you're calling cute? Is it in the room with us now??" She smirked, joking around. All the tension in Susie's body left. You wiped away tears from your eyes from how hard you were laughing together. "Yeah, actually. Might have to use my top of the notch detective skills for this one, but I think it's right..." You trailed your finger around the environment, slowly moving it up to point at Susie. "Here!" You pressed her nose, she smiled, her eyes widen again. "Ooh, come here you little-!" She grabbed your neck with her arms and rubbed her knuckles on your head, giving you a nookie and messing up your hair. "Susie!" You yelled. You were content in this moment. It's like nothing mattered. Susie was, too. I mean, who wouldn't be? They were both with the girls of their dreams, and nothing could take away from this moment.

Snap!

You two stopped the tomfoolery and looked to the side, seeing Kris with a Polaroid camera, snickering to themselves. Susie glared at them hard before screaming: "KRIS, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KILL YOU, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW!" and booked it to chase Kris. (They're a goner), you thought, shaking your head, smiling. You looked to the sky and sighed. (Wow, I'm really dating Susie now, huh? How'd that happen?)

Eventually, you ran into Susie again after her rampage against Kris.

"Hey, Susie?" "U-uh, yeah?" "Yes, I'm free tomorrow. How about the park instead?" You got a little more confident than usual and kissed her on the cheek, quickly losing that confidence and speed walking away. She was stunned for a second. (Did.. did they really just..?) She thought to herself before giving her classic toothy grin. In the distance, you heard her say, "Yeah, sounds great."

Your heart was beating so loudly, and so was hers. All Susie could think was: (Did I actually score the best person in town? Man.. never thought I'd get this lucky.)

With that, you went your separate ways, preparing for the next day eagerly.

* From then on out, you two became the strongest power couple the world has ever seen. And Susie made sure everyone knew it. She'd definitely rub it in people's faces (specifically to everyone she knew had a crush on you too) just to piss people off. Don't get it wrong though, she's showing you off regardless.

* "You see her? Yeah? That's my girlfriend, actually, AND YOU CANT HAVE HER, LOSER!" and she'd run away laughing.

* If you ever got hurt by someone elses hand, oh boy. They are IN for it.

"Who."

"W-what..?"

"WHO. DID THIS. TO YOU?"

She wouldn't kill them, yet. She'd give them a world of pain though. And if they pull the same stunt again? Yeah, they're as good as gone. Luckily, everyone in the dark world after that encounter with Susie stayed far away from you. Or if they didn't, they'd treat you surprisingly well. However, her first priority of course, would be making sure you're okay. She'd call Ralsei for help, or attempt to patch you up herself if he wasn't there. She constantly would repeat "I'm sorry." Or "I'm such an idiot!"

* In her mind, you're one of the only things in her life that cares for her, and she'll be damned if anyone has the gull to take you from her.

* Playing off of that, she'll do anything in her power to make you happy, even if it seems like she hates it. She doesn't want to lose you, and she just wants to be enough for you.

* She doesn't know how to compliment people well, so expect things to be said that don't entirely make sense. "You have a nice face." Or just a simple "You're cool." You know she means well and wants to say something poetic, but honestly, her actions speak everything she can't.

* For example, she's a big gift giver, but not in the traditional sense? She's broke, so gifts would usually come in the form of random leaves, a cool stick that looks like a sword, or things that have been stolen. A lot of the time, she'll show up to school early to place these little trinkets on your desk for you to find. She'll sit and wait for you to arrive and she thrives on seeing your face when she gets something for you.

"Susie, did you get this for me?" You say, with a big smile.

"What? Me? Pssh, nah.

...

..maybe," Susie mumbles, averting her eyes and tail (that she DEFINITELY doesn't have) wagging.

* She's not HUGE on PDA; however, she's not opposed holding hands. Hugging and quick pecks on the cheek are typically reserved for every now and again. She loves it when it happens, though. Susie tenses up every time, and a dumb grin creeps on her face that she tries to hide with a cough.

"(Coughs) huh? What? Yeah, just got something stuck in my throat. Uh huh. Totally..!"

Once you two are in private, she's all over you! Susie may be rude and crude on the outside, but man, is she a big ol' teddy bear on the inside. She isn't used to affection at all due to her home life being.. not exactly the best, so typically, you'll have to initiate hugs, cuddling, etc.

If you've been giving her kisses in public, as soon as you're alone, she's basically attacking your face with them.

Cuddling is something she loves for sure. She just loves holding something, especially since that thing is you. If you told her she'd be this much of a softie around someone, say, a 5 months ago, she'd laugh in your face and spit on your shoes. Now? She wouldn't have it any other way. It isn't like she'll admit that, though. She'd definitely say something like: "I mean, if you're gonna MAKE me, I guess I'll have to."

"Hun, literally no one is making you."

* Not one for pet names, but will definitely call you 'babe' in the most Douchebag way possible. She does love when you give her nicknames though. Her favorites are Hun, Honey, love, or my lovely. She's a simple gal.

* You two are basically the aunts of Lancer. Good friends, but also aunts. Lancer literally loves you, how could he not? He thinks you're really cool and will tell you as such.

"Hohoho! Hey Y/n, did I ever tell you how awesome you are?"

"Aw, no? Thank you though!"

"Of course! You're in my top five! Just below Third dad and Susie!"

"...thanks?"

Susie laughed hard about that and will not stop teasing you about it.

* If you ever went on dates in Home Town, Lancer would definitely be there by Susie's side.

"What? He's my emotional support guy!"

"Hohoho! I'm a third wheel!"

* A relationship with Susie would never get dull, and she'll make sure of it intentionally or not. She's a lot to handle, but somehow, you've stuck around through it all. She couldn't thank you enough for it. Despite everything she's been through and is still dealing with, she never once took you for granted. She might act all high and mighty, but she hurts. Somehow, you've effortlessly made that pain more tolerable, as she knows she has someone's shoulder to lean on when she's down about her situation. She loves you more than any amount of chalk or moss in the world, and she's not afraid to (attempt to) tell you.

"Listen, you know I'm not good at all of this mushy gushy crap, but I just gotta tell you straight up. Thank you, for everything. You mean a lot to me, you know? I couldn't ask for anyone better, I hope you know that. No matter what dumbass thing I say, or how much of an idiot I act, I'll never stop appreciating what you do. Thank you. Seriously, I mean it. I love you, Y/n."

Alright new AU idea.

I deadass thought of this immediately after watching the TADC pilot.

I don’t have a name for this AU but it’s an alternate timeline at the end of Deltarune chapter 7 where Kris and Susie are in TADC in which I’m definitely not making this on Scratch or anything…

It’s kinda why I made this image:

(Also Kris and Pomni will be separate people in this AU)

TL;DR:

No more dark worlds, Asriel came back from college, but through them though Kris managed to make a friend, Susie. And even after finally getting rid of the SOUL, Kris and Susie continue to be friends. One day, they are hanging out at Kris’s house and finding weird things under their bed while Asriel is studying. Kris and Susie find two old headsets and decide to put them on, and I think you know what happens next…

MAIN STORY:

End of Deltarune chapter 7

After the day is saved permanently. Kris and Susie return to the light world.

(I do think something big would happen in chapter 7, but being a fan of Toby Fox, I think the last light world scene, if there is one, will just be normal with a slight twist)

Asriel has came home from University and just as Kris is about to walk home

*Bright lights shine from the inside

Susie: …well. Guess I should go now.. Erm, have fun with your brother I guess.

*Leave Susie?

Yes ❤️ No!!!

[Upon choosing “Yes”]

Susie: Well, see ya.

*Susie left the party…

[Upon choosing “No!]

Susie: …? Maybe later, I’ll let you see your brother right now.

*Susie left

Entering inside the house

(Slowed version of “You can Always Come Home” plays)

[walking to the dining room]

[Asriel and Toriel are talking inside at the dinner table]

Toriel: So I said, “Have an egg-selent day!”

Asriel: Hehe. But what happened with dad?

Toriel: Oh don’t worry about him…

[Asriel noticing Kris]

Asriel: Kris!

[Asriel get up and hugs Kris]

Asriel: Oh I forgot, you don’t like hugs like that.

Toriel: Why don’t you go clean yourself up Kris?

Asriel: Don’t flush any bath bombs in the toilet!

[Kris walks to the bathroom]

(Extras)

[Attempting to go to your bedroom]

Asriel: Going to sleep already? Why am I not surprised?

Toriel: Come on Kris. You’ve been missing your brother, have you not?

[Attempting to go back outside]

Asriel: Mom’s said you’ve made a friend lately.

Toriel: You’ve had the strangest adventures, had you not?

Toriel: I must have been dreaming if that wasn’t the case.

Asriel: Mom, what the hell are you talking about?

[Interacting with the couch]

*The remote is wedged against the cushions.

*You can’t help but feel nostalgic…

Toriel: KRIS! GO WASH YOUR HANDS!

[Trying to call Toriel]

*ring, ring…

*Click!

Toriel: Kris, please go wash your hands.

[Interacting with the trash can]

*The trashcan is emitting a strong rotten floral scent

Asriel: You were always a weird kid, Kris.

Asriel: And somehow…

Asriel: No offense but you’ve gotten weirder.

Toriel: ASRIEL

Asriel: HEY! IM BEING HONEST!

In the bathroom

[interacting with the sink]

*One last thing to do…

*Wash your hands?

Yes ❤️ Not yet

[Upon choosing “Yes”]

*You turn the sink up loudly.

*…

*You lift your arm…

[Kris tears out their SOUL]

[Kris breaks their SOUL, the screen goes blank]

Kris: Finally. Freedom.

Sepia Flash forward ass shit

(Some goofy ahh remix plays)

[Image of Kris, Toriel and Asriel eating cinnamon-butterscotch pie. They seem happy]

Kris: It was weird at first, without the SOUL’s control, but I was happy. Happier than I’ve ever been.

[Image of Kris sleeping like a maniac]

Kris: I can finally sleep normally, nothing controlling me. No stings, just wings.

[Picture of the SOUL]

Kris: No more forced interacting with people I don’t even know

(I literally am playing Omori while waiting for Deltarune Chapter 3, so tell me if I’ve forgotten anything or forgot something about a character’s personality. I appreciate your feedback)

[Picture of The Deltarune]

Kris: Admittedly, I’ll miss the dark world. At least I don’t have to deal with that little fluff.

Kris: Susie, Noelle, Berdly, everyone, do they feel the same way?

[Picture fades. Blank screen for an awkward five seconds]

Morning

[Kris’s room. Susie shaking Kris]

Susie: Kris wake up!

[Kris lifts their head]

Kris: Susie?!

[Susie puts Kris down]

Kris: How the HELL did you get in here?!

[If you choose to remove Susie from your party earlier]

Susie: Sorry, Kris. Just never had a friend as good as you before. Your brother let me in.

Susie: I wanted to check up on ya, but I’ll leave…

[Susie slowly walks out]

Kris: Wait! You can stay!

Susie: What? Kris, you seem different…

Kris: Yeah about that…

Susie: …don’t worry

Susie: The only thing weirder than your family were these last few days am I right!

Kris: yeah…

Susie: WOW! THIS FRIEND THING IS EASIER THAN I THOUGHT!

Susie: (kinda miss Lancer though…)

*Susie has joined the party

Susie: …

Susie: So what do we do?

Kris: I dunno.

[Susie goes to Asriel’s bad and starts digging for stuff inside]

Susie: Hey! Let’s see what creepy stuff is under Asriel’s bed!

Kris: …

[Kris jumps high into the air like a fuckin cat and starts going gremlin mode under Asriel’s bed]

[Kris and Susie dig out two video game controllers, one knock off one and a normal one, I-CEE’s coupons (I hope I spelt that right but I’m too lazy to search it up), magazines, a Yoshi plushie, etc, but then, they find something unexpected]

[Susie and Kris slowly pick up two dusty headsets,, they seem to have already turned on]

(“The Door” plays)

[The lights get brighter, the surroundings get darker]

Susie: Geez Kris. Didn’t know you and your bro had VR.

Kris: we don’t-

Susie: I only seen these things on TV. Let’s try them out!

Kris: Yeah sure!

[If you chose not to remove Susie from your party earlier]

Susie: Your mom let me in.

Susie: I kinda want to do this friend thing more with you.

Kris: Hehe, same here…

Susie: Y’know I haven’t really had a friend until you arrived.

Kris: …

Susie: DUDE IT’S NOT THAT I LIKE LIKE YOU!

Susie: (I already like Noelle, geez…)

[Insert anything that was highlighted in neon purple. Sorry, I ain’t writing all that shit again but in going on a fucking flight soon]

Putting on the headsets

[Insert dramatic flashing lights]

[Kris and Susie Collapse. Screen goes black for an awkward five seconds or smth]

The Amazing Digital Circus

[bit-crushed remix of TADC theme plays]

[Insert pixelizated version of TADC intro aight I’m done writing this.]

[Black screen

Susie: GOD $&@!ING ¥?#%@IT WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS WHERE THE $&@! ARE WE?!

Caine: Nu uh uh! I’m sorry but we can’t have that foul language.

PS: I know there is very little TADC in here, but I promise that the majority of this AU will take place in the digital circus. This was just the prologue.

PSS: So Kris will be a jester. I don’t have a design for Susie but I might make her an acrobat or smth

PSSS: The SOUL somehow manages to respawn in the digital circus, so Kris is screwed (don’t ask how, I’m still figuring that part out)

PSSSS: Like I said earlier please leave any suggestions. (Constructive criticism only unless it’s THAT BAD)

PSSSSS: VOTE FOR THE AU NAME RIGHT NOW!

ExistingKirb’s DELTARUNE: Chapter 3 Take

“Smile! You’re on Camera!”

I decided to do a revamp the Chapter 3 take I did awhile back and turn it into a fully-fledged project of mine! Check out the Twitter thread as well! I plan on posting characters in batches on Tumblr, but you can see them posted as soon as they’re finished on Twitter.

READ BELOW FOR CHARACTER INFO

TENNA

It’s Tenna! THE Tenna! The Dark World’s ruler, but she doesn’t seem to care about asserting her authority, she’s just here to goof off and embrace the vast empire of entertainment she’s built. She frequently shows up throughout the chapter to host a show involving the Fun Gang for entertainment purposes. She doesn’t antagonize them, and is fine with them sealing the fountain as long as they stick around a bit to provide some quality entertainment! She’s TECHNICALLY an antagonist, but not a bad guy by any means.

MIKE

Tenna’s right-hand man and second-in-command of the Cathode Crew! Tenna’s not good with all that business-y junk, so she lets Mike take care of all that stuff while she goes about without a care in the world, this also includes running the late-chapter shop. He used to trade business tips to a certain salesman before going to work for Tenna. also im like 75% sure he qualifies as a sexyman

DIROOKTOR

And…action! Like his name implies, he directs most of the shows in the Dark World and is Tenna’s, as she puts it, “left-hand man, right-hand brother”. He’s short-tempered and has a no-nonsense personality, which is the exact opposite of his sister’s. He seems to know a little something about dark fountains and doesn’t seem keen on letting the Fun Gang mosey on over and seal it like his sister is. He’s hatching a plan behind the scenes, so stay tuned.

VIOLET

Who’s this kid again? Oh yeah! In her younger years, she was a relatively well-known street mime, often regarded as a child prodigy for how good her acts were. She was a sweet kid with a bright future. After a while, she started noticing a strange someone who always appeared in the crowd when watching her perform, which must’ve did something to her, because now she’s missing from the spotlight and isolates herself in an abandoned film studio. Violet and Kris both have a few strong connections with each other, mainly the fact they’re both angsty teens who feel they have no control over their lives. Violet enjoys Kris’ company (And Kris seems to enjoy her, at least more than Spamton), but things take a turn for the worse when Susie and Ralsei show up…Violet doesn’t seem to eager to let her new friend go so soon.

r. money

he’s the silly joke npc of the chapter like starwalker and nubert. he’s this guy who shows up sometimes and brags about how much money he has. he does nothing other than that and is a completely worthless character. everyone loves nubert, so this guy’s the polar opposite. no one likes r. money. no one. he’s based off that valentines spamton drawing recently toby did, because i thought it’d be funny if there actually was a character who was literally named “r money”.

These are all the characters I have finalized as of now, this’ll be updated as I make more, usually posted in batches.

Once again, check out the Twitter thread where it’ll be much easier to keep up with updates to this take.

*Flowey smiles, glad he's been forgiven for now. When Frisk is here and this hassle is through with, he'll continue trying to convince them. Because deep down, don't they want the perfect world where everyone is happy? This would make him happy. He is certain they'd understand that at the least.*

You don't need to be so scared, you know. If it comes down to it, Chara and I have the power to wipe them out faster than they can call for backup. And so far, *He looks at Chara.* the only times I get hurt is when I allow it.

I agree that Chara is the most justified here! They've been through a lot and have seen everything and know everyone. If anyone gets to judge, it's them.

I just hope nothing happens to Frisk while they're distracting Jack...

Say... *Flowey hums and taps on a petal rhythmically.* I could watch over them while the rest of you sneak into the prison. I'll make sure they're safe! He is a pretty big threat, and if Frisk is supposed to rile him up, who knows what could happen.

(Kara) "I'm not sure about this. Chara?"

(Chara) "Frisk would get him riled up more than I can possibly believe. That all sounds good but Flowey, you're too powerful. I don't think we can go through this without you in the center."

(Kara) "We've done crazier things."

(Chara) "Kara, *Brings them to the side so no one can hear* this isn't just about the plan, I don't want Flowey to die."

(Kara) "We all have to make sacrifices. Plus Flowey would easily defeat Jack if he wanted to."

(Chara) "*sighs* fair enough. *Comes out of the corner* You can do that plan, Flowey. Go out and be Frisk's bodyguard. Just please promise me you'll do anything not to die. You've been the one nice monster to me for hundreds of years. I'm counting resets as time. I also want to warn you, that they have the power to reset. They haven't used it since they went out of the underground, but if they ever suggest to reset, slap them in the face and tell them not to. Understand?"

(Noelle) "Kara, I need to tell you something as well. *Blushes, but hides it*"

(Kara) "How many times will I speak in private? I'm getting more secrets than priests!"

(Noelle) "*Pulls Kara by the arm to a place that is 500 feet away. It sort of hurts Kara but they ignore the pain.* Alright no one is here. Kara, Noelle died but I could never see her die. I wasn't around."

(Kara) "I don't know what you mean... *Shushed by Noelle*"

(Noelle) "If I don't leave here alive I just want to say, Noelle loved you. When she would talk about you before Susie was her main interest, she would go insane. She'd tell me daily how happy she was around you. Every day. She told me that she wanted to love you but couldn't work up the courage. Even when I saw you two together briefly, she was happier than an angel when I saw you two kiss. That's what I always used to call her, my little angel."

(Kara) "Why are you saying this?"

(Noelle) "*pulled out a letter from her bag. It was very old and dusty* This is a love letter that she wrote to you for Valentine's Day. I want you to read it. I think Noelle would've wanted you too."

(Kara) "*Started reading* Oh, what should I say? I don't know how to start these. Alright, here it goes. Kris, you're what makes my life fun. As neighbors, we know each other but I don't think that's enough. I've been waiting for the moment to tell you this forever, Kris I love you! Your smell, your love for your brother, your kindness to everyone. I will follow you till the ends of the earth. If you don't want to date me please say no but if you do, I'd like to go to the pizza place. You can fake scare me like when we were kids! Even then I had a crush on you. I don't know how to end this but let me say this, Kris I will always be your friend but if not, I'll love you forever. *After it has a part that is clearly used by a different pencil* What was I thinking. If anyone finds this in the garbage can please keep it in there. It's terrible, it's terrible, I'm terrible, why would I think anyone would be in love with me?"

(Noelle) "Now that you've read it..."

(Kara) "*Hugs Noelle while crying* Dess, thank you! I'll cherish this until I die. Noelle was always the sweetest girl ever."

(Noelle) "*and that's why I can't tell you anything*"

"Waiting for Kris"

'Wish they'd hurry up,' growled Susie, kicking her legs furiously through the air beneath her seat. Next to her, Ralsei chuckled as he set to his crochet work.

'Patience is a virtue, Susie,' he said softly. 'Or so I've been told, anyway.'

'Patience is for dweebs, is what it is.' She cracked a wide smile at her own witticism, sharklike teeth glistening in the darklight. But the creases in her brow, the anxious rippling of her mauve scales, gave away her restlessness. The prince watched her out of the corner of one eye, perhaps nervous that she might make her own entertainment, and that he might be roped into whatever scheme she'd concoct. He'd be lucky if she only took his glasses this time.

'Well, whatever Kris is doing, I'm sure it's important,' he offered. 'A-and they'll probably be back before you know it!'

Susie gave a derisive snort. 'You kidding? You mean like last time, when they almost got... aargh! Shit like this is why I HATE waitin' around! Who knows what trouble that freak's gotten themself into this time...!'

She drove a fist into the seat between her and Ralsei, causing the entire bench to tremble.

'O-oh dear, Susie...' said Ralsei, tone wavering somewhere between concern and admonishment, hand hesitating to reach out to her. 'Y-you're really that worried about them, aren't you...?'

'...worried? Nah, more like pissed off!' She thumped the bench again for emphasis, and the prince flinched from her. 'They get to do all this cool secret stuff while I'm just sat here like some useless piece of trash! I should be out there, helping 'em out instead of sittin' here and thinking, and thinkin'... 'cause that's when... that's when I... when I...'

Her voice hitched, like a walkman trying to read a scratched CD, and her formidable frame sagged, shrinking into itself. It was the first great snort, wringing with roiling emotion, that broke Ralsei's delicate heart.

'N-no, you mustn't...' he said, placing a soft hand upon her quivering shoulder, '...you mustn't say things like that, Susie. You aren't useless, you... you aren't trash... you're nothing of the sort...!'

'And what do YOU know about it, huh?!' she snarled through her hot tears, yanking herself away from his consoling touch. '...what it's like to be... to be HATED by everyone?! When no-one'll go near you 'cuz... 'cuz everyone thinks... you'll bite their face off...? An'... an' all anyone tells you is that you'll never... NEVER amount to anything?!'

'S-Susie, I-'

The dragoness loomed over him, eyes burning amber underneath her matted mane. 'Y'know ANYTHING of what that's like, do you? 'Cuz if not, then don't you DARE tell me what I can and can't call myself! Got it, pipsqueak?'

The caprine boy gave a feeble nod, incandescent with shame. 'Um... yes. I... I'm sorry.'

Seeing his mortification, Susie turned away. A shuddering sigh escaped from between clenched teeth as she realised too late just how she was coming across.

'...heh. Guess you get it now, huh.'

'...Yes. I get it, Susie. It's... clear as crystal.'

Something warm gripped her arm, fluffy fur brushing against smooth scales, small paws rubbing with gentle, soothing touches.

Her head whipped round to look at him. 'Hey hey hey, the hell you doing?! You wanna get decked or what-'

Ralsei met her gaze, and the earnest seriousness in his expression stopped Susie dead. Something in that look, so sad and so tender, struck her full force in the heart, and the raging storm inside her began to quieten.

'You're right, Susie. I... don't know what any of that is like. It sounds... horrible. And I can't believe that anyone would ever... ever say those things to you. N-not when I know you to be so brave, so loyal... I... I really admire those things about you. And I am so happy to call you my dear friend.'

He smiled, and it was as if the clouds had parted and a golden ray of sunlight was shining directly onto her, blinding and beautiful. Warmth radiated from her core, through her arms and legs, suffusing her every nerve with vital electricity.

Was... was this what it was like to be... happy?

Without thinking, Susie threw her free arm around the prince's neck, burying her snout in his wispy white fur, gripping hold of his tiny frame with everything in her. For once, she didn't care what anyone else thought; she didn't listen to the screaming voices in her head. All she really knew was that this, this right here, was good, and she was determined to keep hold of it for as long as possible.

'S-S-Susie...!' wheezed Ralsei. 'I... Is everything...?'

The dragon snorted again, sending ripples through his hair. '...you're a real weenie, Ralsei. Y'know that, right...?'

His smile widened a notch, despite the discomfort. Maybe it wasn't so bad, waiting for Kris.

oh my god- theory surrounding susie’s childhood moment

i was watching nighthawks analysis on susie, and he was describing how far shed come since chapter 1- how quickly shed developed. she was leading the group, solving puzzles and doing things she was scared to do before, but this made me think, isnt this a bit extreme of a personality shift if we assume shes always defensive and agressive, isolating herself?what if rather, this a personality she is slipping back into instead? and this “new personality” isnt new, but just her old and truer self.

since we know susie moved recently, and that she had friends where she moved from, its entirely possible that she was a very loud personality, still with agression, but taking over a role of caring and looking out for her friends. i think this would make a lot of sense for her character, especially when we see how happy she is to have friends (again) to spend time with- see her eagerness with lancer, and how considerate she becomes of kris when they prove to her, through defending her in battle, that kris doesnt hate susie.

susie definitely has anger, and aggression at the beginning and toby makes her seem like a jerk(intentionally), but i think its very easy to see (with a little introspection) thats a defence mechanism she developed to keep herself isolated and safe from criticism. additionally, susie’s “slowness” with puzzles is very quickly invalidated when we see how easily she solves that puzzle in chapter 2, as nighthawk explains, susie avoided thinking for so long because there was no point since she had no worth and no future( i could do a whole thing on this). anyways when we consider that a lot of her antagonistic behaviour forms as part of that defence, and we strip her of her “bully” behaviours toward people and her unwillingness to do puzzles and we get an intelligent, loyal, sightly awkward but still enthused and happy girl, sure shes hot-headed, mysterious and enjoys violent things, but i wouldnt be surprised if that was part of her personality from before the move, she just turned it into a defence to keep her safe. her reserved nature is undoubtably a result of whatever events occurred to her after the move with her parents(another whole bit i might go into)

anyways, i just love the idea of protective and leader susie, it makes me so happy,

Darkened Drabbles: Chapter 18

I'm Okay

(No prompt, just third-person perspective practice.)

The world burns for a moment, screeching back into place and time.

A single blink, then back to darkness, then to light once more, the cycle repeating until shapes come into form.

”…ris?”

Even the sound hurts. Sound shouldn’t hurt, should it? That doesn’t seem right. Whoever was making that noise needs to be quiet. They had to know they were too loud. Maybe someone just needs to tell them?

”…you are! Oh, thank goodness! We we’re all worried sick, and-“

The noise wasn’t stopping. And now there’s something…fuzzy? Brushing along their face, itching, burning.

”I-If I had known you two were training, I would have dropped everything! Running the kingdom certainly takes up much of my time, b-but…”

A clammy hand slinks out from underneath the bedsheet, waving away the offending sights and sounds. In a flash, the human’s arm slumps back down atop the blanket, energy spent. That will have to do. Words would likely be better when communicating, ‘Please stop everything in the world right now,’ but a bit of flailing would have to suffice.

”…u-um, Kris?”

The pale blue Lightner opens their eyes, blurry shapes blending and bleeding together, until a white fuzzy face comes into view.

”…hi…sei…” The words barely slip from their lips.

A look of worry softens, forming into a relieved smile as the Darkner prince rises from the bedside, brushing his hands down along his robe. He sighs, linking them back together behind him, “W-Well, I erm…I’m glad you’re okay Kris.”

Lifting their head up for a moment, they fall back into the soft pillow, exhausted from the first movement.

”Ralsei? Where…?”

The mage clears his throat, “You’re safe. I-I believe there was a bit of an…accident, during you and Susie’s training this afternoon…?”

Kris squeezes their eyes shut, blurriness finally clearing, “…uh…y-yeah.”

”I…” Ralsei shakes his head sullenly, “If you had simply told me you two were training, I could have been there to ensure everything went okay. I know Susie has started to learn the basics of healing, but training so intensely has…risks.”

The human rises once more, barely able to make it a few inches up the headboard, “…she okay?”

The prince blinks, frozen for a moment before stuttering back to life, “W-Well, yes! She’s quite alright! Just…erm, tired?” A whisper of a smile pulls at his lips before immediately falling away, “B-But Kris! Come now, you were the one that was injured today! I know you two are quite apt with your abilities and techniques, but…” Ralsei sighs at the thought once more, “Susie said she wanted to practice her axe’s magical capabilities? That you were helping her when-”

Kris stretches painfully, finally sitting up in the bed. The blanket clumps and twists along their arm as they attempt to shove the cover away, only for a fresh agony to bloom in their shoulder. The pain freezes them in place, a cold sweat streaking down their back. The deafening wave of suffering begins to slowly calm; their once blue face having turned a searing crimson in the moment.

”P-Please be careful! I mended the wound itself, but your shoulder will still be inflamed and sore for quite some time. There shouldn’t be any true danger, but your body is likely reacting to the shock of it all and-“

”I-I’m okay…” They mutter, pressing a hand to their shoulder tenderly, “…she’s okay?”

Ralsei’s lips hang open for a moment, lost in worry, soon falling back into a soft smile, “…yes. She’s…well, actually-“

He steps away, emerald robe flowing around him. Squinting through the floating colors lingering in their vision, Kris watches closely, spying a quietly snoring dragon in the corner of the room, her arms linked tightly around her knees as she rests upon the floor.

”She…she hasn’t left.” Ralsei clears his throat, “…I think she wore herself out after carrying you here.”

”…wha…” A wave of dizziness slams into Kris as they shake the feeling away, desperate to be present and awake.

”I was still in the castle with Queen, discussing…erm, ‘possible acid pool functionality within the kingdom’…” Fuzzy hands squeeze the edges of his robe, “We were in the middle of a conversation when Susie burst through the main doors with you in her arms. She was…panicked, to say the least.”

Kris’ eyes scan the dragoness, still curled into the corner, the wall seemingly having become her pillow by this point. Stringy bits of mane stick to her face, pulling across her maw and twisting along her leather jacket. Her axe was tossed to the side, soaked bits of her shirt and jacket sticking to her scales with a crimson hue. Beneath the streak of crimson were paler, sickly-looking scales, her cheeks and face especially muted.

”…looks tired.”

Ralsei’s eyes bounce from the bedridden human, to the quietly slumbering dragoness.

”I…would imagine both of you are.” He bites his lip, “Kris…you didn’t look okay.”

A knot forms in the human’s chest.

”Susie didn’t either. She was…yelling. Screaming. I…haven’t seen her like that before. She must have carried you from the training field all the way to the castle. She said she…”

Kris sighs, slumping back down on their side, eyes still glued to the rise and fall of the girl’s form, “…didn’t block it fast enough. I said I would. She was worried, but I was…” They swallow sharply, “Wanted to help her practice. Guess one got through. Think I remember it hitting me before hitting the ground.”

A soft hiccup erupts from the girl as she nuzzles closer to her knees, her breaths quietly shuddering. Kris’ eyes narrow, watching her from afar, tracing the streaks of glimmering scales under her eyes. The light catches, the sight causing them to wince.

They pull their gaze away. The streaks were still fresh, the dampness under her eyes yet to dry.

”She’s been here for hours.”

Kris takes a deep breath, holding it for long enough for their chest to hurt, the air flowing from their lips.

”I’ve been checking on you every once in a while, but…” Ralsei’s fingers loop underneath his glasses, squeezing his eyes, “She wanted to be here.

”…I’m okay.” Kris mutters, burying deeper into their blanket.

The prince nods solemnly, “That’s…I’m glad to hear that. But, she told me…w-well, she said that, if you were to wake while she was asleep, that-“ Ralsei’s lips twist into a pained smile, “She said she’s sorry.”

The knot tightens.

He presses a finger up along his glasses, straightening them, “…I healed what I could, but there will still be lingering aches and pains I would imagine. I know you will need to return home soon, but perhaps it would be best to remain here for just a bit longer?”

Kris nods silently.

”Good. Well, I am going to inform Queen and the others that you’re awake. Despite her…eccentricities, she was noticeably concerned upon Susie’s arrival.” Ralsei grimaces, “I would imagine she may have told Lancer as well, so I should make sure they both know you’ve awakened.”

As silently as possible, Ralsei makes his way back to the door, the entryway creaking open as he slips past the threshold. He turns back for a moment, glancing from Susie to Kris, a concerned look twisting in his fuzzy features.

”You’re not…angry, are you?”

Kris’ eyes go wide, “W-What?! No, no! It was my idea, and she didn’t do it on purpose!” A wave of agony sweeps along their shoulder, barely noticed in their exasperation, “She didn’t…she doesn’t think that, does she?”

Ralsei smiles from behind the door, “…quite the opposite. She…well. You should perhaps speak with her when you two have a moment. Just…just the two of you.” His fingers tap along the doorframe, “Some of the things she said, what she was…yelling…”

Kris rises from the bed, fighting down the sickening pain, twisting and turning to find the prince’s expression.

”…she doesn’t want to lose you Kris.”

”Wha-“

”I’ll return soon. Until then, please get some rest, okay?”

With a click, the door closes back to silence, only the dragoness’ rumbling snores echoing into the room.

Kris’ eyes dance along the bed’s cover, pink and blue stripes blending together in their hazy vision. With one last huff, they fall back into the pillow’s embrace, eye twitching from the wave of pain blooming in their shoulder.

Another sharp snort breaks the quiet, Kris’ gaze turning back towards the bundled dragoness, her amber eyes burning through the darkness across the room.

They stare at her, words failing them, ”…hey.”

Susie freezes, staring back.

”I’m okay.” Kris mutters.

She tries to smile. For a moment, she does. Fangs form into a simple grin, her eyes filled with the usual energy, one normally followed by a snide comment or mocking jab.

But it drops away. All that’s left is shaking, her lips quivering as she tries, and fails, to calm her breathing.

The blanket is tossed to the side as Kris swings their legs over the edge, stifling the agonizing wave of pain in their shoulder. Fumbling for a moment, they meander across the room, slumping against the wall and down to her level. Susie draws her arms and legs close to her chest, the shaking worsening.

They fall into her, leaning their head on her shoulder.

”…I’m okay.”

Kris closes their eyes, the shaking beneath them dying away, a weight soon resting back against them.

INTERROGATION: Spade King

(Transcribed by Prince Ralsei)

Kris raps the bars.

KING: We have NOTHING to talk about.

RALSEI: Um, actually, Mr. King… we do have something to talk about. You see, Lancer—

SUSIE: Shut up. Let me do the talking.

RALSEI: Um… but I was thinking we could try a more, um, diplomatic approach? ….Kris, why don’t you decide?

KRIS: …

RALSEI: Kris?

SUSIE: You good, dude?

KRIS: Uh. Let Susie do the talking.

RALSEI: Okay, Kris. If that’s what you think is best, then… tell him, Susie!

SUSIE: Yeah. I will. Hey. King Loser. You still care about your son? Well, here’s your chance to prove it. He’s missing, and some grey guy said it was ’cause of you.

KING: I know not of which you speak.

RALSEI: You… don’t?

KING: No.

SUSIE: Heh. Liar. Owe it to Lancer not to hurt you and all, but… you’re really pissing me off, you know? He could be anywhere right now, probably alone, lost and confused, and you—you won’t even—hell, do you even care about him at all?!

KING: Watch your tone, Lightner!

SUSIE: No, YOU watch your goddamn tone! You know, I’m so #%&ing sick of you! It’s not like you can just hand Lancer off to Queen just because he’s just not your problem anymore! You really want to have a son? Better start acting like it! I mean, he won’t even talk about you! And you go and tell me to watch my tone? I get I’m not the greatest friend ever, but at least I’m there for him! I wouldn’t ever abandon him just ’cause he’s not who I want him to be! He’s my friend! And if something happened to him, I—I know I wouldn’t just sit sulking in some stupid hamster cage. I’d go out there and GET HIM THE HELL BACK. You got a problem with that? Huh? DO YOU?

RALSEI: Susie… are you okay?

SUSIE: Yeah, it’s whatever, I just—I’m gonna ask you one more time. Have. You. Seen. Lancer.

KING: …yes.

SUSIE: …

KING: …

SUSIE: And???

KING: Patience. He came bearing a warning, of a threat on my life, and intending to defend me.

SUSIE: God, you don’t deserve him.

KING: Hah hah hah… it was empty words, girl. He could not have stood his ground, faced with a true threat to me.

SUSIE: …yeah he could’ve. Really could’ve. Trust me.

KING: Hm.

SUSIE: So… you tell him anything after that?

KING: Indeed.

SUSIE: Like???

KING: That he could and should not guard me. Don’t look so surprised—if someone were trying to attack those my son cared about, do you really think it would be safer for him to stay close to them? No. If there was a true threat to my life, the smartest thing would be to stay away.

RALSEI: What happened then?

KING: My son left.

RALSEI: Oh.

SUSIE: He say where he was going?

KING: No.

SUSIE: Well, did he—

KING: I have answered your questions, Lightners. We have nothing more to talk about. Begone.

SUSIE: Argh! Fine! You’d better hope we find him.

The Heroes of Light leave the dungeon.

SUSIE: Man, something about that felt… weird.

RALSEI: What do you mean?

SUSIE: Dunno. Unfinished.

KRIS: Wasn’t telling us something.

SUSIE: Huh? Kris? You think he’s hiding stuff too?

RALSEI: Oh. Why ever would he do that? Hmm. Um… maybe we could try going back and being… politer?

SUSIE: Nah. Let’s just look for Lancer.

RALSEI: Okay!

SUSIE: Hey Ralsei?

RALSEI: Yes, Susie?

SUSIE: You know you can stop writing everything we say down now???

RALSEI: Oh! Right! Haha.

[fallenwillow21]

Love or LOVE? (1st person)

Ever since I met ralsei, something about me is, different...I haven't experienced this before. Was this normal? I shook my head, heading to school. When I got inside the school, I saw susie leaning against the lockers. I went up to her, asking why no one isn't in class.

"Oh, miss alphys is sick, so we have to stay here until school is out."

She said, then getting an idea.

"How about we go to the dark world for the whole wait?"

I nodded, then walking with susie to the closet. I felt someone was watching us, but I didn't look back, jumping in the closet

We were in front of castle town, everyone looked busy, they were decorating? Was it a holiday for them? Do they celebrate a holiday we don't know? So many questions filled my head, then I saw him...the prince himself, he was putting up a banner across the town, with help from swatch, who kept the ladder stable.

"Hey nerds!"

Susie yelled out, making everyone look at us.

"Kris! Susie! What are you doing here?"

Ralsei said, finally getting the banner up.

"Eh, school is kinda canceled so, we came her to hang out"

Susie said, as ralsei climbed down the ladder.

"I will finish the rest young prince" swatch said as ralsei smiled at him.

"Thank you so much!" He said, walking to me and susie

"So, what's this about?" Susie asked, looking around town. "Oh! Us darkners celebrate Christmas! That's the only 'holiday' we know" ralsei said, as he was taking us both to the castle.

"That's cool, maybe we should stay here for Christmas break" susie said, then asking where lancer is. "Ah, lancer is in his room" ralsei said as susie left. It was just us now...

"Well kris, I have to get back to decorating, you can go to your room if you want!"

Ralsei said as he leaves, I felt my face getting hot, just by looking at ralsei?

I head inside the castle, going upstairs.

I looked at the board-up stairs, slowly walking to it. Ralsei said his room was up there, I climbed inside, getting past the boards, going upstairs. I looked at a door, slowly going to it. There was a note on it, "ralsei's room" it said. I slowly opened the door, looking inside. The room was a bit messy, walking in the room. I noticed there was a sewing machine, I frozen a bit, heating footsteps, quickly hiding somewhere. I looked to see who walked in, it was ralsei!

Oh no, what would he say if he saw me? In his own room?! I stayed hidden, then noticing that ralsei was somewhat down?

"What is this feeling? This is new to me..." he said, I saw that his face was a bit red, and his tail was wagging. Was he..feeling what I have been feeing? Does that mean he has a crush on someone? Who was it? He then left the room, getting out from under the bed, leaving the room, and heading downstairs. Heading outside the castle, I see susie and ralsei talking, I went to them as they both look at me.

"There you are! Come on, we gotta go"

Susie said, making me realize time is different in the dark world"

I nodded, saying bye to ralsei.

"Come back soon!" Ralsei said, making susie push him a bit. We will, like I said, we can stay on Christmas break!" She said, then dragging me back to the portal. Back in the old class room, I asked susie and she and ralsei we're talking about.

She froze, looking back at me.

"Oh, don't worry about it."

[berdly-epic-gamer-9000]

Hahaha, how was THAT!?

Haha, Susie! You're not supposed to ATTACK people with it!

Oh yeah!? Watch me!!!

...

Kris!!!!! There you are!!!

Kris!! Check out my new attack!!

(You felt slightly healed.)

Heh, how's that!? Meet the new healing master, Kris!

Oh. Yes. She is a real... "master" at it, Kris.

God, teaching you sarcasm was a mistake.

Hahahahaha!

❤Give to Berdly

Kris, have you seen...

Kris!? We took a break from trucing for ONE second... and you're ALREADY back with Susie?!

???????

Should have expected this... hmph... you couldn't keep up with my puzzle-solving skills!

H...huh...? A plush...? Of... me?

With... nipples?

...hmph. Guess I'll forgive you for now.

See you, Kris.

Why the hell'd you give it to Berdly!? Why did you give it to Berdly!? Um, what... unexpected kindness, Kris!

...Let's just get the hell out of here.

ID: a shaded comic, featuring noelle and kris from deltarune. noelle lays in her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. "can't sleep". a closeup of her eyes, then hands. "i'm cold. i wonder... how long berdly ended up sleeping in the computer lab. her hair, then eyes again, at a side view. "i'm still so cold. my eyes feel cold." she gets out of bed and walks into the bathroom. she splashes her face with water, and when she looks at her reflection, her dark world self stares back with vacant white eyes. noelle jolts, terrified, as her dark world self's hands reach for her, the thorn ring on her finger. she cups noelles face, blankly crying, then hugs noelle. their hands interlock. "this person i'm reflecting... what a strange outfit. your hands are so cold. why are you sad? what happened?" noelle is now alone, kneeling. "it will all be okay, right?" a closeup of her grabbing kris's hand. "hey, kris." noelle and kris are shown hugging. kris's speech bubbles are black, and have quotations where noelle's doesn't. noelle: we're friends, right? kris: "of course we're friends." noelle: hey, kris... i want to ride the ferris wheel... do you think... susie would ride with me? kris smiles at her gently: "susie would definitely ride with you." they're kids now, sitting on the ground. noelle, crying: oh, kris... i don't like this... can we please stop...? kris: "yes, let's stop. i'm sorry. that was a bad joke. i'm sorry." back to reality is the faucet. noelle's tired eyes. she slides down the cabinet, head on the ground in exhaustion/despair. the last panel shows kris, her watch on their wrist, and the thought: "oh..." end ID

i hope everyone got home safe
