Fool's Fate Chapter 6

So I'm gonna make a ref for Soxs later but through a hilarious voice call influenced by a reblog on my last post I have figured out the plot of Fool's Fate Chapter 6.

Throughout the entirety of this Dark World set in Sans's convenience store, you have no idea who the leader is. No one mentions them, and asking any of the Darkners will just result in them asking what you're talking about and implying the world doesn't HAVE a leader.

Eventually you'll hear of someone you think someone MIGHT be the leader of this Dark World is a few NPCs and Darkners keep mentioning a mob boss who's no one ever met. Most notably some enemies similar to Rabbicks from Chapter 1 of Deltarune and enemies similar to some of the Lintmice from Chapter 1 of Fool's Fate who talk about their boss. Still, you don't quite seem to figure out who this mysterious mob boss is until near the end. The only other instance you might have at any mention of a leader of any sorts besides this mob boss is one of the shop keeps mentioning an old "Hermit", but no one's heard from him in some time. Especially not since the Knight showed up.

Also throughout the Dark World, in any room with no other NPCs, you'll encounter this character who just looks like Sans in a milk carton costume. When you talk to him, you enter a shop menu, no matter which direction you talk to him from. The milk carton introduces himself as Snas, Snas the milk carton, and will sell you different types of milk. From normal milk to "finely-aged" milk, which is expired and will poison your party, except for Naomi. You can also buy a "finely-aged" milk sandwich, which is a block of expired milk cheese in between two pieces of moldy bread, which Naomi will also eat no problem.

In the room after Snas, the party will run into Suzy, who is here because she works part time at the shop. She was initially texted by her boss (Sans) to track down the mob boss you've been hearing a bit about at this point. When she finds you, she gets another text as the silhouette of Snas the milk carton can be seen in the background on the phone before Suzy enters battle with you as her boss then told her no kids allowed in the store anymore. After the fight, she offers to help you before the fanfare from Deltarune Chapter 1 plays again and she says screw that and goes off on her own again. As the fanfare plays, the silhouette in the background is joined by an identical one, and both of them play trombones to the fanfare.

As you keep going through the world and running into Snas the milk carton, you have no idea if he's actually just Sans the skeleton as Sans is no where to be found, despite this being his store. Snas's color scheme looks identical to Sans's in the Light World, only being a more slightly yellow white for his bones, and trading out the blue for red. Snas also seems to make cheeky remarks to Sans when you mention him. "sans the skeleton? never heard of him. though that rolls of the tongue better than snas, might just steal it." Is this just Sans in a milk carton outfit????

You don't know for almost the entirety of the chapter, but it seems very likely. You're also still confused of who the main boss is, it's probably the Hermit one of the shop keeps mentioned (that shop keep likely being Snas), but you still don't know who the Hermit is.

Eventually as you reach the end, and the final area based off the counter, Snas will stop you from accessing a back area without an employee card and mention there might be a back way to the back area through the freezer area. Once you get to the back area after getting an employee card either from Suzy in the freezer area, or Snas just by continuing to talk to him (Snas's employee card is covered in dried milk crust and says "Sans the skeleton" on it) you can eventually find a building that looks to just be a cardboard box warehouse with "Sockems' Secret Base" written on it. You'd could learn by this point that those Rabbicks and Lintmice Darkners following the mob boss call them selves the Sockems if you back tracked and talk to a large Rabbick miniboss/shop keep wearing a button as a hat named Dusty. Dusty will mention that the base is likely where their boss is held up, plotting her next scheme against the Hermit after being exiled by him. To get in you'll have to learn the secret pass code after going on a side quest Dusty sends you on.

If you go into the secret base, you'll get jumped by the Sockems before meeting the mob boss, who ends up being the secret boss of this chapter, a sock puppet Darkner named Soxs Calzino. Leader of the Sockems.

She is a very angry sock, but if you can defeat her, you'll earn her respect and she'll lend you her strength as an armor or weapon depending on how she was defeated. Notably though, she doesn't drop a Shadow Crystal like any of the other secret bosses afterwards. If you talk to Dusty after, he'll tell you her backstory and you can ask about the crystal, but he won't know a thing about it other than noting Soxs did have some weird glass thingy she'd carry with her, a little before and after swearing vengeance on the Hermit, but she lost it at some point.

To get the Shadow Crystal, you have to go talk to Snas.

"huh? you picked up my sock? that must've taken a lot of effort. here, have this." And then Snas will give you the Shadow Crystal with no explanation as to why the hell he has it.

When you finally reach right before the Fountain, you'll be faced with Snas once more as he apologies and admits he's run out of ideas to stall you but he can't allow you to close the fountain. Not for any dramatic reason but just because it draws in customers to his milk business. This is where it's revealed that Snas is the Hermit, and thus the final boss of the chapter. His fight is similar to Sans's genocide fight, just with milk theming. After you defeat Snas the Hermit the milk carton, the actual Sans will walk in. Completely unchanged from his Light World design. He explains how he's been watching from the side lines the whole time and helping Snas out before letting you go close the Dark Fountain.

Deltarune: Fool's Fate Ch. 6 Secret Boss

Talked about her in my post about Fool's Fate Chapter 6's insane plot, so here she is. Good ol Miss Soxs Calzino. If Doggone is my most unhinged secret boss, then Soxs must come in second purely due to her Dark World being the most unhinged. Literally came up with it off a single joke that spiraled and spiraled and spiraled until snowballing into what it is now while I was on call with some of my friends.

Though even for how unhinged Soxs world is, she may just be the most well adjusted of my secret bosses, say for some anger issues and an irrational hatred for Snas the Hermit and Sans the Skeleton. Most of her trauma isn't even caused by old mystery man. Or at least she doesn't see it that way, she barely knows who the mystery man is because she just doesn't remember him that much.

For her name, one can probably tell that Soxs comes from, well, Socks. Because she's a sock puppet. Her last name, Calzino, though, well it also means sock. It's just Italian for sock. Her name is Sock Sock. Though Calzino does sort of sound like a mobster name. (Likely just because it's Italian.)

Soxs doesn't really have a text quirk. Unless you can consider speaking like a mobster and sounding like a Boston Elmo a text quirk, but that's more of an accent. The soul mode used in her battle is the yellow soul mode, making her share a soul mode with Spamton.

As could possibly be inferred, Soxs is Sans's sock. Instead of actually putting it away, he just brought it to work with him one day and left it there. Eventually placing a box over it. In the Dark World, she becomes a sock puppet sorta creature. It was a little difficult figuring out how to keep Soxs at least some what original when there are so many Sans's sock secret bosses, but I think making her a girl helped. (She's trans partly out of spite.)

Backstory under the cut

Soxs Calzino has always been something of a renegade. Even back in her original world, she never seemed to follow the rules and was always at least a little bit rebellious and disobedient. Other socks might've been happy falling in line, getting paired and put away, but not Soxs. Even when others tried to make Soxs fall in line, she'd always find a way to go on her own. This upset many around her, including her identical twin brother, Boots.

Eventually, either because those in her original world got fed up with Soxs's rebellion or just because Soxs yearned for greener pastures and thus went on to find them (Soxs will never say which one it truly was, though it seems both are somewhat correct), Soxs found herself in the convenience store Dark World. Seemingly all alone in a strange new place. Soxs didn't seem to mind the solitude all that much though, especially with how more lax this new Dark World seemed to her old one, and she eventually made a friend. A Rabbuster named Dusty who also seemed a bit of an outcast aw well.

The only grip Sox seemed to have was with the ruler of the convenience store world, The Hermit. The old milk carton didn't seem to do his job at all and would rather sell milk than be a ruler. Something about that irked Soxs, how could she stick it to the man when the man didn't care? Still, it was because of him the world as a whole had such a chill atmosphere, so she couldn't complain too much.

At some point, Soxs met a man. A strange someone also out of place who seemed equally disgusted by the Hermit, though for other reasons. After learning that Soxs also didn't seem to like the Hermit and believed herself to be a much better leader, actually doing her job while still maintaining the laid-back nature of this place, the man offered her a deal to help her achieve that. Not only would Soxs be able to stick it to the Hermit, but she could rule this world in a way to allow other rebels to try and stick it to her.

With a shrug, Soxs accepted the offer, figuring she had nothing to loose. And so with the man's assistance, mostly through offering information and giving tips, Soxs was able to form a rebellion. One that swore to over throw the Hermit. Even though the man helped Soxs as an informant and possibly influenced others to be more substantiable to listening to her, much of Soxs influence seemed to come from her own charisma. Just needing to know the right people to talk too.

Even with Soxs's influence and growing rebellion though, the Hermit didn't seem to care. The old milk carton even offered to just step down and let Soxs take his place. The rebel sock wouldn't stand for this though, demanding a proper fight. The Hermit shrugged and said "okay" before Soxs stormed off to plan some way to take down the milk carton while still getting him to care.

Over time as Soxs planned though, the man seemed to leave and some of her influence seemed to fizzle out, with most now just seeing her and the few that remained under her as a gang of petty criminals rather than some epic rebellion. Pretty much to today, Soxs has been planning her uprising against the Hermit, especially since he "exiled" her to the Backstreets where her gang's secret base was set up. (He really didn't, even he claimed she couldn't leave without an employee card, there was no way he was gonna stop her from leaving if she actually tried.)

That was until a group of Lightners entered her turf...

-------------------------------

Hehe. I hope ya'll like Soxs, I had a lot of fun making her and the rest of the convenience store Dark World. My friends and I were pretty much dying of laughter all call while coming up with it, especially Snas.

It wasn't mentioned in the backstory, but the man did technically give Soxs a Shadow Crystal at some point, but either she never exactly looked through it before misplacing it, or it just didn't change anything as she mostly just saw Sans and was still too focused on her goal of getting Snas to pay attention to her rebellion. I sorta like the later. "Oi yeah! I knows our world ain't real and we're all just inanimate objects, but that don't matter 'cuz my hatred for that old milk cart'n is real, ya dig? Who cares if our reality ain't really real if it's real ta us?" All the other secret bosses are secretly jealous she wasn't traumatized by learning the Truth.

Another little tidbit, Boots did not exist until I was writing this and remembered, "hey, socks go in pairs", and had the idea of Soxs having a twin. I searched up synonyms for sock and bootsee came up, so named the twin Boots. Together they are Boots and Soxs. I like it because together they sound like your basic beat-boxing beat.
