the fact my muse page doesn't allow for muse descriptions to get too long is a blessing ( i dont have to write a lot to add a muse to the page ) and a curse ( i don't get to explain the entire context i might want to on a muse ) so uhhhhhhhh. i will drop a few benry thoughts. for funsies.

most important i think is i'm going down the route of like. kinda of ignoring the entire "they're all in a game and aware of it" route just because it doesn't feel as satisfying for me personally? there's a good bit of stuff i wanna write with him that doesn't feel. as nice if its covered over a layer of "but he also knows hes a game character". also i already have gaster for breakdowns over being a game character.

so instead i have it that after his bossfight he sort of just. passed out essentially and got dragged out of xen by the science team. and probably was just passed out for all the fuckin chuck e cheese since, hence not being there, and post chuck e cheese ( deranged ways to describe a timeline ) him and the science team probably briefly tried to live in whatever city they got dropped off in?? but uh. the combines ruling everything. and it's Super Fucking Bad in the cities. so they sorta all just ended up stealing a minivan or some shit and essentially doing a roadtrip into the middle of nowhere until they found somewhere hospitable and far enough away that the combine wouldnt be as bad of a problem.
