“…take my ashes with you.”

[cb-writes-stuff]

(Snack time.)

Ghostfrin: “I’ll take some plantain chips.”

Bonnie: “Siffrin, you’re… You’re not gonna be able to eat ‘em.”

Odile: “Because you’re a ghost. In case you forgot.”

(Shrugs)

Isabeau: “Come on, Bonbon. It’d make them happy.”

“Yeah. It’d really… lift my spirits.”

“NO!”

“No.”

Mirabelle: “SIFFRIN!!”

(conflicted whether or not he should laugh, because Siffrin is literally dead)

[aquamarinebling]

I enjoy the idea of the party carrying Siffrin’s ashes in different ways. how they would treasure him in their own methods, in this scenario fulfilling his wish of “carry my ashes with you” in a post-canon context.

mirabelle im not certain on, but i imagine she frets on what to do with them for a long time. she doesn’t want to upset their ghost- even if she doesn’t exactly believe in spirits that way and it’s a lot of her anxiety going “but what if you’re wrong, what if you’re upsetting them and they could never tell you? what if you pick wrong, and the memory of him is insulted without you meaning to?”.

perhaps isabeau considered, briefly, putting the ashes into an earring, but the idea feels too far intimate to do to someone that he never told his feelings to. even if siffrin did clearly have feelings for him, it doesn’t matter since isabeau never actually heard it. instead maybe he settles on a necklace, so he can still keep siffrin near his heart.

odile is functional with it. something small and easy to carry, something she won’t lose and can keep close. I think she considers turning them into a gem at some point after being annoyed with the stress of losing or accidentally scattering the ashes, and the thought brings her a wave of guilt. what right does she have to alter his wishes, just because he’s gone? it’s a conundrum for her, not knowing more about what they would have wanted, and having no way to learn more.

bonnie doesn’t want to lose siffrin, so they keep them at home in an urn where they can see them (set up by a window, because someone mentioned siffrin liked the night sky, and “maybe siffrin will wanna look outside sometimes”.) something about them saying hi to it each morning, perhaps working with petronille to put a shrine together (it takes ages to get it right), and sitting by it on a bad day, or ignoring the little section of their home dedicated to him when they’re mad at him (for dying, for sacrificing themself, for losing their eye, etc).

Ghostfrin, Encounter Four: Meet NIRFFIS

Nille: "Urgh, not another one..."

(... Nille is shaking as she looks dead ahead. The only thing up ahead is...)

Odile: "Seems like another Siffrin copy thing."

(...they...can see it?)

(I thought I was just losing your mind and the ghosts...things weren't real, but if they can see it too...)

(...I try to say something, but no words come out. My throat is dead dry.)

Isabeau: "This one isn't disappearing like the other ones, strange..."

Mirabelle: "W-we shouldn't get too close, this looks suspicious."

Isabeau: "Oh come on, it's just Siffrin. What's the worst it could do?"

Nille: "...HELLOOOO, OTHER FRIN!!"

(I nearly startle and lose my balance as Nille shouts out to the other me.)

(...it turned around. A perfect reflection stares back. Glasses, coat, hair, craft book.)

(What differenated the ghost and I was the scariest thing on its face. An unsettling wide smile.)

(I shudder and nearly retreat back entirely. It takes all my strength to stand my ground.)

("Haha! HAH! Yes, you can see me, you can?") 💎

(Nille shivers once more.)

Nille: "It speaks, that's even worse."

Odile: "...What are you?"

Isabeau: "They look like Siffrin but aren't. Are you really a ghost?"

Mirabelle: "Hello, sir ghost Siffrin. Please... d-do not come any closer."

(...I find my voice once more.)

💎("Are you...real?")

("Real? Real?!")💎

("Ekaf ro lear, does it matter, does it matter?! I'm as real as you long as you THINK I am, as long as you SAY I am! As real as real as they say! HAHA!") 💎

("Hm...but something isn't right, is it?") 💎

("Ellebarim, Uaebasi, Elido, Ellin, surely you remember me, your best friend, Nirffis?") 💎

Odile: "...you're...pronouncing our names all wrong. And...your own as well."

Isabeau: "Well, I mean, we never asked for their name, so maybe it really is their name?"

("HAHAHAA! Well, I wouldn't wanna be confused with Ol' Siffrin, now would I? Would I.")💎

(...my family and I exchange glances with a nod.)

(Time to leave.)

💎 ("...Well, uh nice meeting you?")

Odile: "Absolutely, I hope we never meet again."

Isabeau: "Yeah, uh, Madame Odile meant we hope we WILL meet you again, Other Frin."

Mirabelle: "Yeah, g-goodbye."

(Nille doesn't speak a word, but there's a fearful nod of sorts.)

(...the room just got darker.)

("Haha! Hahahaha. Oh silly little family.") 💎

("Who said any of you...") 💎

("...were going anywhere?") 💎

(The ghost lunges.)

TRATS ELTTAB!

ISAT DELTARUNE CROSSOVER SECRET BOSS CHATACTER

Yeah I've been cooking this as well and still in the process of figuring it all out.

Well, here's the secret boss character! Erise, a Change God Statue made by The King! Once part of the group of Change Idols who encouraged change around Paradise, now banished from the Paradise after the Advisor deemed them dangerous to his change and new laws, they bid their time, plotting vengeance from an isolated island under a starry key and sea.

While the other Idols of Change can use small faces like :) , -_- , :/ , etc, Erise is the only one to use full Emoticons like the Change God. However, rarely do they SHOW other emotions on their face other than tears.

Despises the Lightner who made them.

Their name follows an Alternate version of the Demons/Deadly Sins theory (That the Deltarune secret bosses are named after the seven deadly sins). Erise's consists of letters from UnivERSE, and ERIS, the Greek God of Strife and Conflict.

Erise's ultimate goal is to plunge the Paradise into an eternal starry night and make the other darkners fight amongst themselves in the chaos. To do this, they need a unique artifact found only in the Sanctuary of Change, where the Queen of Change once reigned, and where the Advisor and his forces stand.

However, that artifact alone won't achieve their goal. You can only wish so much to the stars before you begin to fall. A wish of their caliber requires the strength of a HOLY GLOW, something that shines just as much as the brightest star in the Universe.

Extra:

In my first iteration of this au (I scrapped the whole thing and rethought it), for the secret boss character I had a party member based on Siffrin's silver coin and Ghostfrins. However, some people I talked to about this didn't like that it meant a divergence where Siffrin forgot their coin in the House.

I have a new plan for the Ghostfrins in this au which I like a lot better.

CARRION!Sif Ghostfrin Event

[[Still pending a better name like Parasite Siffrin or Abomination Siffrin or maybe even a title I dunno]]

"Ah!"

(Isabeau points up ahead. Your heart nearly stops as you look ahead yourself.)

(It's the ghost.)

(Bonnie is the next to gesture towards it. )

"Look! Here!"

(Mirabelle.)

"That's...That really does look like Siffrin, doesn't it?"

(Sure.)

(It looks like Siffrin. Maybe it really is Siffrin.)

(And if they are...)

(Odile frowns. She's clearly the more disturbed of your family regarding this situation.)

"Another one, huh?"

(So they could all see it this whole time.)

(Ghost. Spirits.)

(You thought you were hallucinating it out of guilt, but that makes sense.)

(Monsters don't feel guilt. Monsters don't feel anything.)

(You find your voice once more.) "You guys can see it too, huh?"

(What would a ghost taste like. If possible, maybe if you eat it fast enough, they'll forget it was even here.)

"Yes??? Of course???" (Mirabelle looks at you in confusion. Somehow, you nearly break a smile. The notion that may be crazy has passed through your head more than once, and yet...)

(For her to look at you, so confused, it's almost comforting.)

(Bonnie speaks up.) "Yeah, weird Frin copies!"

(Odile sighs.) "Don't worry, Siffrin. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me as well. Take relief in knowing the both of us are not becoming delusional."

(No, you aren't.)

(Your real problem is so much worse.)

(You reply.) "Thank you. Good to know my brain isn't broken from all my napping."

"So, are we gonna say hi?" (You turn your head and look at Iseabau, doing your best to hide your disbelief and fear.)

(He wants to greet it?!)

"Me too, I wanna see the weird not-Frin!"

(You're on the opposite end of Bonnie's enthusiasm.)

(You're horrified.)

(If it really is Siffrin, if it's really their ghost...)

(What would he say? What would they do?)

(You don't even want to think about it. You don't even get a chance to. Because your family has already rushed ahead.)

(Isabeau's cheery voice rings out first.)

"Hey, ghost Sif! How are you-ah!"

(Almost immediately, Isabeau turns around and quickly covers Bonnie's eyes.)

"HEY! ISA?! WHAT'S CRABBING GOING ON?!"

(Mirabelle glances over at them for a brief second before looking at the face of the ghost herself.)

(...her eyes widen in horror and her legs instantly give out. She would have fallen to the floor if Odile hadn't caught her.)

"Woah. Easy easy, I got you." (Odile looks at the ghost's face herself, and her face turns into one of great unease as well.)

"...gems alive."

(...a slimy wet, sound.)

(...the ghost is melting.)

(Slowly, it begins to droop and drip parts of itself as it becomes smaller and smaller, slowly dropping into a formless sludge puddle of itself.)

(...and then it fades, sinking into the ground...until it's no more.)

(There's a long pause.)

(Everyone is still. Silent. Even Bonnie stopped trying to escape Isabeau's grasp.)

(Isabeau is the first to make any movement, taking his hands off Bonnie's eyes.)

Bonnie: "...what happened?"

Bonnie: "There was a scary...wet sound and-"

(Mirabelle exhales heavily. Her voice and breath is shaking.)

Mirabelle: "O-oh change..."

Mirabelle: "I...I..."

(She looks over at you.)

(She's terrified.)

(...everyone else is staring at you the exact same way.)

(...you have to know.)

"So? Did it have a third eye or something?"

(...that was suppose to be a joke. You smile during jokes. You forgot to smile.)

(Odile seems to have noticed that.)

(She is the first to answer you.)

"...Siffrin."

"You're not hurt anywhere again, are you?"

(...huh?)

"No?"

"No cuts? No bruises or scrapes?"

(Wouldn't matter.)

"No."

"How about...headaches? Naseau? Feeling dizzy? Are you unwell in anyway, Siffrin?"

(Why won't she tell you.)

"No!"

"Really? Absolutely sure. Remember last time, we didn't realise you had a cut under your arm until-"

(You need to know!)

"I said I'm FINE! TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG!"

"...what did you guys see?"

(She continues to stare without a response.)

"Uhm...I'll be on explaining duty then, M'dame." (Isabeau walks away from the group and pulls you aside, while Bonnie, Mirabelle and Odile start to discuss amongst themselves.)

"Don't be too hard on M'dame Odile, what we saw was just...a little scary is all."

(Scary? How?) "It didn't seem like it did anything."

"It...didn't. That's why it was kinda scary."

"So, it was standing in front, and we went up to it, cause it was kind of strange it wasn't facing us."

"And luckily I was the first to see it, or Bonnie would have seen it as well."

"It didn't flinch when I called out to it. It didn't even try to look at us."

"It's face was..."

(Isabeau looks uncomfortable even trying to remember it.)

(...You have to know.) "What? What about the face?"

"Yeah yeah, sorry, it was...Uhm..."

"...well, it was covered in scars. Bleeding scars. And its eyes were...gone? Its mouth was open, and it kinda looked like..."

"...like if someone had died, standing up, and refused to sit down."

"But then its lips started moving like they were trying to talk. But I didn't hear a noise voice or noise or anything."

"And then...well, then it started to turn into goop, and that was it."

"So you can see why Mirabelle was so startled, she was already super stressed, but I think...I think it'll be fine."

"And, don't worry about M'dame Odile, you know how she is. She's always worried about us, even if she won't say she is."

(...)

(Startled.)

(Worried.)

(Haha.)

(Hahaha.)

(Ha.)

(...Mirabelle and the rest are walking towards you now.)

"Sorry about that...it was just a little overwhelming...but I feel better now."

(She shouldn't.)

"But Siffrin, if anything is ever wrong...please make sure to tell me. O-or any of us."

(You won't.)

(Maybe if you're hungry.)

(But not about....)

(Odile continues to frown.)

"Siffrin."

(She stares for just a few more moments, before looking away.)

"...nevermind."

"I think we've wasted too much time. We should get going."

(...they're afraid. You made them afraid.)

(Why couldn't they have just stopped. Why couldn't they have just ignored it.)

(WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE STAYED STILL AND LET IT FADE AWAY!)

(You're always worried they won't care about you, but for once now you regret making them care!)

(You're disgusting, you're selfish, you're horrifying.)

(They've seen it, NOW THAT'S ALL THEY'LL THINK OF YOU WHEN--)

[REWIND]

"Ah!"

(Isabeau points up ahead.)

(Bonnie is the next to gesture towards it. )

"Look! Here!"

(Mirabelle.)

"That's...That really does look like Siffrin, doesn't it?"

(No.)

"I don't see anything."

(Even without looking back, you can feel everyone's confusion focused on you.)

"Sif? You really don't see the...ghost you?"

(You don't respond.)

(You wait. And wait. And wait.)

(...and soon...)

(...it's gone.)

(...you feel hungry.)
