Empty Echo

@emptyxhere

A noise. In their Underground. It was strange to Mal, hearing the voice of another ringing out through the empty, empty caverns. It had been so long since they heard any voice that wasn’t their own– Enough that they thought they were about to go crazy or something. And coming closer, hearing her call out each sickeningly familiar name with growing desperation throughout Snowdin, Mal found their jaw clenched as they approached.

Peculiar. They thought, as they stared at her with a tilted head, face devoid of any comprehensible expression. On the inside, they mostly struggled to understand why this was happening, where did she come from, how dare she come in expecting all the monsters to be here as if happy endings existed–

“What brings you here?” Came their question, staring at her with a steel look.

hearing a voice, Red turned towards it with hope in her eyes... and immediately that smile started to fade. so this wasn’t... ok, that means she hadn’t brought everyone back. it also meant she wasn’t dreaming. and with a silent stare-the question taking time to reregister... she knew why the underground was empty.

then the question clicked again. “... I don’t know. I woke up on the bed of flowers. at first I thought... I hoped this was another nightmare but...” but it wasn’t. not with... an all too familiar face staring back. how was she facing herself? and the cold was biting too fiercely for this to be a dream.

a portion of her immediately threw blame on the dust she could see on Mal’s clothing, but just as quickly as the thought came, she pushed it away. Chara always said it wasn’t choice to run through with the kills, but something else. And she trusted Chara, they worked well together... even if she never felt the strings Chara talked about.

there was a visible shudder. “...perhaps we should head into grillby’s? I may be wearing long sleeves, but it’s not exactly the thickest shirt in the world...”  that was a cover up. the shiver had nothing to do with the familiar cold of snowdin- it didn’t bother her. but the thought of... well, she shouldn’t jump to conclusions. not yet. that wasn’t right.

Visiting

@emptyxhere

The last thing Frisk expected while wandering the Underground for possibly the umpteenth time, was to run into some really tall… monster? That couldn’t be right. They had killed every monster. And although they met some tall monsters during their adventure, they had not once run into anyone like this before. They’ve never seen him before. And it had been so long since Frisk had dealt with the last living monsters, other than Flowey, that it didn’t make sense why this person would suddenly show up now.

Looking up curiously, they gripped their knife as they itched to stab him just to know they haven’t gone insane at this point. Was he real? They couldn’t tell. The way he spoke didn’t help either. They took a step forward, albeit a cautious one. “Yeah.” They muttered, “Who’re you?”

“That’s a loaded question I doubt you want the full answer too. For simplicity’s sake, I am a Visitor. you can call me the Slenderman, if you wish. most do these days.” he casually readjusted a glove as white as his skin. 

“...if you feel threatened, I’m sorry. there's little I can do about my appearance, but that knife won’t work like you’d expect, even with the weight you carry that has made you strong.” instead, now with the glove readjusted, he offered a hand... did he shrink a little so they wouldn’t have to reach up to his hand?

“Pray tell, what is your name?”

“Watch where you’re walking!”

@emptyxhere

It’s his own fault for having allowed himself to submit to the ever consuming thought process regarding everything he’s experienced thus far in life; something he finds himself doing often when he’s without any other form of stimulus. If he was paying more attention he would have picked up on the subtle cue that came with the child’s heavy footfall as the grass flattened beneath their weight. But he doesn’t, not immediately.

He disappeared into the earthy ground below just moments before he heard the heavy thud of their foot making contact with the section of grass he had occupied just moments before. Had it not been for the gentle breeze caused by their movements or the shadow cast over his form, he would have not noticed their impending form and would have found himself, too, flattened beneath the sole of their shoe.

Is he about to admit to the truth behind their statement, however? That he should have been paying more attention?

Of course not.

Reappearing just a few inches away with his expression twisted into one of scorn, the pointed tips of his teeth bared as he listens to the other respond to his shout. Frisk’s laughter is one that’s familiar, as is the tone of their voice. It’s similar to that which he’s used himself many times before; all while he inflicted some kind of torture on another, be it physical or mental. To hear it come from Frisk, however....

A noise of disgust escapes him.

“I can’t ‘run’ into anyone, idiot. I’m a flower. Flowers can’t run.” His snarky tone is quickly replaced with a far more chipper alternative, a bright smile at his face as he bounces a few times on his stem before swaying side to side, teasing the other with his false persona. “You ought to not threaten sweet little flowers, geez! It’s cruel and unnecessary!” He feigns a look of surprised hurt, bringing a pout to his lips. “Didn’t your parents ever teach you any manners?”

emptyxhere answered your ask

The small outburst was to be expected after all, but it did little to deter Zep from wanting to reach out to someone that he could tell was... not in the best mindset. His expression was unchanging: patient and calm with a strange depth of warmth.

“I’m sorry... I know I step out of line when I’ve said this, and in many ways you’re right to be pissed with me. I’m just a stranger who has no business with this world let alone with your personal affairs... But...” He sighed and sat himself down somewhere. “Even if I don’t know anything, I can’t in good conscience ignore someone who is in pain...” Zep looked at the ground for a moment, and although he had no way of knowing anything about Frisk’s situation, their history with genocide or with the player, there was one thing that seemed plain to him when he saw the expression on Frisk’s face.

“Maybe I’m crazy... but there was a torturous feeling of powerlessness that I felt from you.”

@emptyxhere continued from [ x ]

     To most, Reaper would have looked like just an uncaring, slightly shady teenager with messy bangs and a careless demeanor... But a more careful eye might have picked up on a lazy smile that was just a little bit too wide, eyes that glinted red as blood, teeth that looked unnervingly sharp. Both hands were currently stuffed into the pockets of their jacket, hiding the pointed, talon-like nails. They almost could have passed for human.

     But not quite.

     “Hey, depends on who you ask~” the demon hummed, straightening from their slouched position. They weren’t especially intimidating to look at, yet there was something about them-- the sleek, smooth movements, the playful attitude, the strangely focused gaze, mostly hidden from view-- that felt exceptionally dangerous. Almost... Predatory, as though they were sizing this kid up. Mostly because they were. “Most wouldn’t think much of a kid like you either,” the entity added with an amused flourish of one clawed hand, “But it looks to u̙̥̥̎̊̒ṡ̨̪͇̑͐ like you’ve been awful busy~” One crimson eye winked, the light flickering briefly.

      ‘Us?’ But, this teen was clearly alone... Not to mention the strange way their voice seemed to garble and distort in that single word, like an auditory glitch. That didn’t seem natural...

     “Y’know,” they continued, taking another smooth stride closer, “I’d suggest a heart to heart, but we haven’t had a s̻̪͖̏̌̚ỏ̺͕̺͒͂u̫̜͕͌̆̚ĺ͙̦̮̒͘ in a long, long time~” The demon stopped there, eerie cheshire grin seeming only to broaden even more. Their flourish shifted seamlessly into a point, one index finger directed to the other human. The entity’s head tilted slightly to the side, like a curious puppy... On someone else it might’ve been endearing. “Instead, how about you share your story, and we’ll share ours~? Seems like a fair trade to me, and it looks like you have some very interesting tales to tell.”

The skeleton slowed to a stop with an blink as she noted another stepping into her path, gaze dropping to study the smaller child with a confused expression. The grip on the basket she was carrying tightening slightly as she studied the other, wariness carefully hidden behind a politely kind expression.

“ Um--Hello there can...Can I...uh...help you? “

Courier almost seemed to trail off as she spoke, gaze lingering on the human’s face as tension seemed to bleed into her frame, smile wavering minutely before smoothing back out as though it hadn’t happened in the first place. The only tell that she was feeling anything other then polite curiosity was the way her tail seemed to convey her alertness as it swayed uneasily behind her.

“ Are you lost, little one? “

;;;;;Why does a child want to stab people so bad, i am concerned™

[dreeming-royalty]

Oops, Frisk wants to join the stabbing. They wave their knife around as they run up. They don't really care who they stab, be it Asriel or the anon; just whoever they get to first.

This was different from a greyface attacking him. With them, he didn’t have to feel any sort of guilt or remorse with defending himself, but with this one... He’s not going to hurt them. He’ll just... grab their knife hand and keep them from stabbing. Child stabbers are not fun to deal with.

“No.”

[5c4p3xg0a7]

Ted looked up at Frisk with a little pause. He was quiet for a minute, his face scrunching a bit as he tried to think.

"I's okay, I don't mind... Um.."

He huffed quietly, tilting his head.

"I guess... Each route, Kidd just acted however he needed to get through it.. He always seemed reluctant to do what everyone wanted, though... 'specially if it hurt the others."

@5c4p3xg0a7​:

“Kidd!” Teddy specified his ‘friends’ name. Then seemed to think for a moment. “Hmm.. He figured out all the routes! All the deaths, then a reset and retry until he did it all ‘n then it’s back to normal for a small bit..” He mumbled, leaning on Frisk just a bit while they walked. Probably a bit tired.

“He doesn’t know I remember..” He mumbled. “My brother killed me in one,, ‘n I killed my brother in another and hurt my friend! It made me feel really bad..”

     …Okay, yeah, that definitely meant his friend had reset powers. Just like Frisk. Wow. 

     It was weird to think they weren’t alone in that, but it was also… kinda sad?  They weren’t sad for themself, no–  ( They were long past feeling that way )   But they really pitied the poor kid who had to go through that. The awful control of a power too much for some child to hold, and dealing with mistakes and deaths that always somehow mattered and didn’t matter. And pitied Ted, from hearing what he said next.

     They looked at him for a moment in shock. There was even a small urge to hug the smaller child.  “ …That really sucks. ‘M sorry to hear that. ”  Frisk grimaced.

     ———  “ Actually, I have the exact same power. ”  They began,  “ So I think I can reeeeeeeally understand what that must feel like. I think, uh, Kidd?  Might not have done all that for fun… If he was controlled the same way I was. D’you think there was… um… anything off with him?  …Oh– But, more importantly I guess I should ask if you’re okay… Um. Sorry, I haven’t done the whole talking to people thing in a while. Clearly. ”
