[void-of-unparalled-chaos]

This whole civil war on reading vs not reading comics is baffling to me. Like honestly this whole arguement is stupid.

Full disclosure before people come after me: I am a comic reader! I love reading comics (although I havent been able to read nearly as many as I would like)

Anyway yeah my whole 2 cents on this.

On one hand, I get why avid comic readers are annoyed. You're favorite character being what you perceive as wildly misinterpreted and being unable to find the content you want is annoying. But also it's so easy to just... click off? Like no one is forcing you to read it, just go find a different work instead of complaing to the author or whatever.

Also, comic characters have been written and rewritten by so many people and have had so many changes to their storylines and personality that a lot of stuff being argued as "not canon" very likely could have been at some point! And that's not even talking about other media like shows and movies.

The first example that comes to mind is Superboy (Conner "Kon" Kent). Comic Kon and Young Justice Cartoon Kon are drastically different in both personality and appearance. Comic Kon is the most bisexual coded person I've ever seen and Cartoon Kon is a grumpy asshole who looks like he stepped straight out of bootcamp. But guess what? Regardless of which one you like most both are canon in DC!

As far as I'm concerned, comic timelines and characters are a mess with or without other media types and we should be allowed to pick and choose whatever traits we want from it. Do I want Kon to have bisexual hair? Yes! Am I ignoring that Batman beats his kids in some runs? Also yes!

And because I saw a few complaints like these once before I'm going to address them.

"Character A can't be into this. It only happened like 1 time in the comics!"

Yeah but it happened. If people want to take that little hint of a trait and expand on it then power to them!

"Character A never actually had this role or did this so stop writing them like that!"

It's called a headcanon or an AU. This may be surprising to you, but both of these are common in fandom spaces. If that headcanon or AU is popular it's because people obviously like it. That person may not be you, and that's fine too! Just let them have their fun and leave to read something else.

And I'm not claiming to be innocent in all this btw! Lord knows I get loud and angry about many MCU fans' interpretation of Jake Lockley from Moon Knight. That being said, the reason I'm loud and angry isn't just "oh they made him less friendly and changed some personality traits". Its the fact that they interpret him as an "evil" alter which perpetuates hateful stereotypes about a very real and very stigmatized disorder with very little decent representation. The whole "Jake is an evil bloodthirsty alter" spreads those fearmongering ideas and has the potential to harm actual systems in the long run whether it's intended to or not. Disclaimer: I am not a system, but I do try my best to listen to what they have to say. By all means listen to their opinions on the situation over mine.

Even so, I don't go and yell directly at those creators. I click off. I don't have to read or look at their stuff if I don't want to.

Another complaint from comic readers I see a lot is "oh but it's so easy for them to just pick up a comic and read it! They are just being lazy/stubborn/etc." And honestly...

It's really not!

It took me YEARS to start reading comics because it was so overwhelming and I had no one to help me. Keeping track of all the comic runs is hard enough let alone actually finding and reading them. Comics are simply not well organized and it's hard to find a part to jump into when so many of them rely on prior knowledge.

"Well ask somebody who works at a comic bookstore!"

I did. He had no answers for me and looked like he would rather be talking to literally anyone else instead of a clueless 15 year old girl. Stepping into spaces like that can be intimidating in itself for a variety of reasons, let alone trying to ask for help. Online it's not always much better. So many people won't give an honest recommendation and others won't be specific enough. Many comic runs have similar titles, and honestly it's best if you just know the name of the writer.

Trying to break into comics is just genuinely difficult for a lot of people depending on their situations whether it be enviornmental, financial, or mental.

Also you can't just force someone to read the comics! If they don't want to and just want to watch the shows or absorb fanon content then that's their preference! You don't have to interact with it! Am I saying that no one should read comics? No! But I am saying that not everyone has the same accessibility and the way some comic readers treat these people isn't doing favors. Attacking them over stuff and getting annoyed at them isn't going to encourage them to pick up a comic and read it but rather push them away from something really fun.

Okay now that's out of the way, time for me to turn my sights on the "not reading" camp.

You can't just attack people for suggesting canonical content under your prompts. Unless they are being a dick about it. Then you can go ham. But if someone is coming in like "hey btw A is a thing that happens canonically and it might be fun to do!" then there is no reason for you to act like they just ate your baby!

It is also not completely unreasonable for someone to simply suggest that you try out a comic or two (provided that they are being polite and are actually willing to help you with clear reccomendations). There is no reason for you to get pissy at them, just as it is not a requirement for you to take up their advice. If you don't want to read it or can't currently that's fine, but just know that you have the potential to be introduced to something you really enjoy and that consuming canon content will more than likely help you with your writing!

[duck-in-a-thrift-store]

Alright guys here's the first room closeup (+ headcanons/notes), by popular demand:

~Mike & Will's room~

(Plz don't judge my choice of wall art I pretty much just picked it bc it matched the wallpaper colors and there weren't a lot of good options)

Ok so design details

I know yall see that blue and yellow, and the green in the middle. All very intentional. The bed w/ the yellow blanket is Will's & the one w/ the blue blanket is Mike's. They sit on the rug when they're having their little heart-to-hearts that the rest of the party never seem to be a part of for "some reason"

Also, these boys wear a lot of fuckin stripes, so. Blue and yellow striped wallpaper? Green striped rug? Idk man it was screaming byler what can I say

And then there's a record player or whatever on the dresser between them, bc as we all know Will is a music guy and Mike lets Will do whatever he wants even if that means keeping him up listening to his favorite song all night bc he'd never forgive himself if Vecna somehow got Will bc Mike made him turn it off*

*So, to explain what that's all about: after his repeated failed attempts with Max, One went after Will next bc y'know, lots of trauma, easy target, etc (at least that's what the mf thought, I'm pretty sure Will lowkey has powers or smthn)

(This happened before the start of the au btw so it's just sort of background info, it might be mentioned but it won't be happening in present)

But anyway Will almost got Vecna'd and it was partially Mike's fault bc they got in a fight, Mike said smthn stupid and Will ran off, we know the drill (Mike still blames himself for it even tho they made up & Will forgave him and is fine)

Mike kinda lost his shit, honestly I'm thinking in his terror he pushed El too hard to save Will (when she was already doing her best obviously bc that's her brother) and that was part of why they broke up bc even El realized he cared more about Will than her- Mike is pretty much the only one who doesn't know yet lol

And they all survived obviously but now they're both kinda extra paranoid about it and even though they've moved far away and One hasn't followed them they still worry that some day he might track them down, so they fall into a (compulsive) habit of playing Will's favorite songs on repeat

(I'm not giving you his fav songs bc first of all I can't even decide my own fav song and also it just feels really presumptuous like that's too personal of a thing for me to decide for somebody else. I take music very seriously & very personally ok. Funnily enough tho I am listening to "should I stay or should I go" at this very moment)

Anywho, moving along

That desk by the door is mostly used for coming up with new campaigns they don't want the others to spoil (it's ok for their roommate to have insider knowledge that's not an unfair advantage or anything and besides it just can't be helped y'know? /s) no but they do collaborate sometimes and they work so well together as storytellers that the others find it lowkey unsettling (Dustin and Lucas are used to it tho)

>tw: vaguely suicidal themes?

Someone, not thinking I guess, makes an offhand joke about them being on the ground floor so they don't have to worry about Mike jumping out the window, and Will, who somehow hadn't ever actually heard the whole "quarry story," asks what that's supposed to mean and then they very awkwardly have to explain and he's basically like "oh my god what the hell that's not fucking funny why would you joke about that" and for a while after learning about it he's extra conscious of any self-deprecating/self-sacrificing type shit Mike says

Also they have "crazy together" written somewhere in the room no one else will see it. It's uncertain where, or whose idea it was, or why they did it, but they did. Probably to sort of make the room feel more like it was claimed as *theirs* after having to move to a new house far away from familiarity, and as a reminder to always be there for each other when times are tough

Your place

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader (High School AU)

Warnings: yandere, obsession, bullying, threats, non-con.

Words: 1510.

Summary: You suffer in the arms of America's golden boy, the one who has been bullying you for years.

P.S. I just realized most of my smut fics are about Bucky, so I decided to write one with Steve instead. Btw, all characters had reached 18 years of age. Hope you'll enjoy!

______________

"Damn girl, you better put some makeup." Someone's loud voice behind your back made you flinch. "Y'know, you can still do something about that face."

You heard a burst of laughter and bit your lips. It had always been a part of your daily routine for several years once you moved to New York and went to Abraham Lincoln High School. God, you regretted it with all your heart.

"Come on, Sam. Give her some credit." You didn't even need to turn your head to know who was speaking. "She's the natural beauty, isn't she?"

You spun on your heels, watching harshly the group of guys leaning against the wall and smirking at you, all beefy, muscular and tall. The biggest assholes in whole Brooklyn; players of Howling Commandos, your school's basketball team; the ones most of the girls dreamed about and to whom they sent love letters every goddamn week, as the guys claimed. They had been your absolute nightmare since you got transferred to this place.

You glanced at Steve Rogers, America's golden boy, incredibly handsome with those blonde hair and blue eyes; the picture-perfect image of a diligent, polite student; the one whose face they put on promotional posters every year. You knew better than anyone else who was hiding behind this facade of "just a kid from Brooklyn".

"What, are you moody after yesterday's game?" You smirked, knowing very well that they had just lost against Hydra, the team Steve always hated with all his soul. "Go fuck youself and calm down, dear. Or are your buddies gonna lend you a hand, maybe?"

The smile fell from his face as the guy frowned, his bright blue eyes burning a hole in your figure. You guessed he really missed those days when you just listened quietly while he and his friends kept insulting you, but these days were long gone. You grew some teeth by the end of your final year.

"Listen, you little..." Bucky hissed, but Steve raised his hand and made him fall silent as you grinned, clenching your lunchbox in your hands.

Oh, he was mad. You knew well how much Rogers detested swear words, especially if they were coming from a woman's mouth.

"Watch your language, girl," his voice was unusually hoarse, his eyes watching you intensely, "or I'll have to teach you how to speak to a man myself."

"I'd like to see that." You giggled nervously, relieved there were enough students passing by to prevent Steve from doing anything stupid. "But if you want to complain to Mr. Banner to give me a detention, please feel free, dear."

You turned around with a silly smile on your face, waiting for him and his friends to give you some more empty threats, but you heard nothing at all as you kept walking. Suddenly feeling victorious and somewhat invincible, you laughed to youself, hurrying away. Did you just make those assholes silent, gasping for words at your audacity? Did it truly shut their goddamn mouths? God, it was unbelievable. Well, maybe going against Steve Rogers wasn't wise, but you couldn't pretend you were okay with that attitude of his after all those years of pure humiliation. You did nothing but protected yourself, right? Besides, he could hardly do anything since you were never alone at school, and after finishing your classes you were lucky to be driven home by your dad who worked close.

But maybe buying a mace wasn't a bad idea.

You laughed at yourself, finally arriving at the cafeteria and landing on one of the seats with a loud sigh. You knew Steve and his friends wouldn't do anything - their college admission was at stake, and you'd be happy to provide police with all the details if anything were to happen to you. Surely, they wouldn't risk it for just a few words you exchanged with them this morning.

_________________

Shit, you were so late for your PE class! Everyone was already at the field while you ran to the locker room, gasping for air. You didn't need Maximoff to yell at you the third time this month.

You threw your bag to the floor once you spotted your locker and jumped to it, abandoning your skirt in a matter of seconds and desperately trying to get your shorts out. You didn't care much about your surroundings as no one else was inside the locker room. Class had already started 10 minutes ago.

You didn't think anyone could be waiting for you here on purpose.

Before your heard the lock snap, somebody slammed your body into the locker, pressing you to its cool metal door so hard you lost your ability to move. Frightened to death, you were ready to scream, but someone's hand clamped over your mouth, muffling the sound. God, what was happening? Who was that? Why didn't you see anyone?

"Shhh, it's okay." You knew this voice too well. "You can keep screaming, but there's no one around, you know that."

You grunted against his hand, trying your best to throw the huge guy off you but achieving little: Steve was a bull of a man. His enormously big body leaned so close to yours that you could feel his every fucking muscle with his chest pressed to your back. His other hand gripped your throat tighter to make you stop squirming.

You needed to keep your mouth shut today instead of provoking him.

"Yeah, like that." Steve shushed you in a mockingly gentle tone, lifting his hand from your mouth and nuzzling against your ear, inhaling your scent. "I like when you're quiet."

"What the fuck are you doing, Rogers?" You asked him furiosly, pretending you weren't frightened to death. "Have you lost your head?"

"Language." His low gutteral growl made you shiver as you felt his palm on your neck moving.

Clenching your teeth, you tried pushing him away once more, but instead you just grinded against his heated body and realized he was... aroused, the bulge in his pants obvious as you moved your ass. God, no. No, no, no! You were at the edge of going into hysterics, shaking and pushing and crying with his hand on your mouth again. It was hard to breath with so little space Steve gave you, his unbearably hot body covering yours.

"What happened, dear? Cat got your tongue?" You were disgusted at his sweet loving tone. "Aw, don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. You wanted me to teach you how to speak to a man, remember?"

His grip on you was madly strong - you winced in pain once Steve had squeezed the cheek of your ass with his huge calloused palm, your head pressed into the cool metal locker as he hovered above you. When he started kissing your neck, you bit your tongue in utter despair. He was fucking sick. Deranged. He was ready to do this over some little quarrel when the only thing you actually did was responding to his bullying.

Your mind was hazy as you started losing your strength after good five-minute struggle. Rogers didn't relent in his efforts to keep you pinned and completely defenseless.

"This is rape, Steve." You whispered, exhausted and anxious. "Do you understand?"

"Come on, what are you saying?"

His hand travelled down to your hips as he caressed them gently and moved to tug your panties down your legs.

"You're so wet for me, dear. How can you call it rape?" You shut your eyes when Steve touched you down there, forcing you to spread your legs and settling in against the craddle of your thighs. As he moved the elastic of your black panties, his fingers were playing with your folds, and you realized with shame he was right as he spread a bit of your wetness on your skin playfully. "Admit it, you have a thing for bullies."

"No, I d..."

Before you could bark at him he forced you to turn your head and kissed you hungrily, pushing his tongue in your half-opened mouth. You squirmed, grasping his hand, yet his arm that he used to hold your chin before swept yours away as he pushed you against the locker even harder. You could feel his erected cock through the fabric of his school pants.

Making a soft noise at the feeling of his tongue rubbing against yours, you heard Rogers groaning, his chest heaved. If you could pull away, a shudder would rush down your spine at the sight of his face. Instead of a school bully there was a predator waiting to tear his prey apart.

"Stop, please..." You panted heavily once he finished kissing you, his fingers still caressing your womanhood, your juices leaking down your thighs. "Why me? What have I done? You have hundreds of girls who want to throw themselves at you."

He smiled and rested his sweating forehead against yours, teasing your entrance.

"You see, it's easy. You get off on being bullied, and I get off on bullying you." Steve started rubbing little circles on your engorged clit, admiring your blushing cheeks. "We can have so much fun together if you just stop resisting me and take your place."

What’s At Stake

- Word Count: 3727 words

- Summary: Hiding things from your best friend is never easy, especially when it’s secretly hooking up with her ex’s best friend. When you tell Taehyung about going to a party with a different guy jealousy strikes.

     “Harder,” you breathe.

     “Shh, quiet so they don’t hear us,” he pushes his finger against your lips. Watching you struggle not to make a noise as his other fingers jammed and curled inside of you. His thumb rubbed deep circles against your clit as your legs were pulled apart for him to see everything. His tongue ran along his bottom lip, eyes glued to your naked body under him. 

     Your whimpers were muffled from you biting your lip down to keep them inside. He knew exactly how to touch you to throw you over the edge. His pace quickens and your eyes squeezed shut. Your back arches as you feel yourself close now. Now that your chest was closer to his face, he connected his lips to your tender nipples. Your bare chest heaved and gasped while your toes curled to the sheets under them. His hand was so strong inside of you that he made your hips jerk back. Teeth sunk into your hand to try to minimize the screams of pleasure, cumming all over his fingers. You were out of breath when you watched him suck his fingers clean. The sinful look he gave you while doing so put you in a trance that eventually ended when his fingers popped out of his mouth.

     His lips were swollen from the intense makeout session you both had beforehand, giving them a wet and red appearance. He wraps them around your lips again, slipping his tongue across your teeth as he deepens the kiss. The taste of you lingered in his mouth. 

     Your hands glided down his pants to feel how hard he was. It wasn’t the first time you felt his hard cock, but you managed to be surprised by the massive length everytime. His groans vibrated through the kiss as your hands wrapped around him, giving a slight squeeze.

     “Fuck, you’re so ho-”

     “Aye, Tae! You gonna stay in your room all damn day?!” Jungkook interrupts him by yelling from downstairs. One thing that you’ve learned while hooking up with Taehyung is that no one can ever get peace and quiet at a frat house.

     Tae cursed under is breath before peeling himself off of you. He was obviously annoyed that what was about to happen just got disrupted, but he didn’t show it when he yelled back to Jungkook. “I’ll be down in a few minutes!” He rolled his eyes and sighed when he looked back down at you.

     “Raincheck?” you begin to sit up by him. He couldn’t look at you without skimming down your bare body first.

     “Sorry,” he mumbled.

     “No need. We can just see each other tomorrow or something?” You pull your shirt over your head. When your head pops into your shirt hole, you notice him smirking at your body in front of him. He finally looks back up at you with a look that you’ve never seen before on him: innocence.

     “Text me when you get back?” He asks with puppy dog eyes. You looked at him with a confused face. He’s never cared to text you unless you both wanted to fuck or to exchange dirty pictures and the look on his face says he wanted to have an actual conversation with you now.

     “Yeah, sure,” you nod. You were now completely dressed as he snuck you out of the house using the back door. You had to admit that it sucked having to be secretive about your hook ups. If people found out, both you and Tae would lose your best friends.

     Your best friend, Hannah, used to date Tae’s best friend, Jungkook. Everything was great. All of Hannah’s friends were friends with Jungkook’s friends and it became a big group of people that hung out all the time. Until they broke up. After Hannah found out that Jungkook sleezed around with a few random girls, she figured it would be a good idea to get him back by sending his nudes to half of the college. It was safe to say that whatever they had was done for good. Now, they hate each other and everyone associated with them. With the break up still being a fresh wound for both of them and, the hooking up between you and Tae only being about three months so far, you both decided to keep it a secret. You both didn’t want to lose your best friends for something that wasn’t even a relationship to begin with, so the only thing you had to hide was the sex.

     “Bye, cutie,” he whispers, smacking your ass lightly on the way out of the door.

     You giggle and wave goodbye before driving back to the dorms where Hannah, also your dorm mate, is laying on her bed glued to her phone as always. When you walk through the dorm door, she doesn’t peel her eyes from the screen when she speaks.

     “You heard about the party tonight?” Her tone sounds bored as she talks.

     “No? Who’s throwing it?”

     “Some rando. They’ve been telling people that they can’t get in without a date, like, what is this? Prom?” she scoffs.

     “Well we just need to find someone for us, duh. You act like Jimin doesn’t have the biggest crush on you,” you say, plopping yourself on your bed.

     She looks over at you, considering the option. “Honestly… not a bad idea and if he gets handsy, I’ll drop him at the party,” she causes both of you to laugh. Jimin was known to be a bit of a player. “Maybe you could bring Jin? I know you got a thing for seniors,” she jokes.

     You roll your eyes, “It was one time! After that I’m strictly sticking to our age: sophomores.” The one time you hook up with a senior, he was emotionally unstable and confessed his ‘love’ for you after one week of knowing him. Not to mention, he continuously sent you pictures of him crying when you told him to leave you alone. Hannah never fails to let you forget about that extremely awkward time.

     “Whatever. He’s hot so who cares?” she shrugs. You thought about how Jin is also in the frat house, but never really associated himself with Jungkook. You decided to give him a text, since you had his number from working with him on a previous project and, shortly after, he agrees.

Jin: For sure! I’ll meet you outside of the party at 8?

You: Sounds good! See you then :)

     You realize that you never texted Tae when you got back, so you decided to do it now.

You: I’m back btw. Sorry forgot to text ya

     You gnawed the inside of your cheek while waiting for his response. You probably would’ve bitten a hole in your cheek if he didn’t respond back quickly after.

Taehyung: No problem. Heard about the party tonight?

You: Yeah I’m going, are you?

Taehyung: Yes. Who are you going with?

You: Seokjin

     After that, the conversation stopped.

•••

     Tae couldn’t stop the clenching of his jaw as he walked over to Jin’s room across the hallway. Without saying a word, he pushed open his door causing Jin to jump. He was in the middle of buttoning up his shirt in front of a mirror. Unopened condoms laying on Jin’s nightstand were in Tae’s direct line of vision.

     “Getting ready for the party I see,” Tae stares at the yellow square links on the table as he made himself comfortable on his bed.

     “Yeah (Y/N) asked me to go with her tonight. Hopefully I’ll be able to use these,” Jin shoves the condoms in his pocket. Tae laughs, trying to hold back the urge to punch Jin in the face right then and there.

     “Yeah, you’re not going tonight,” Tae says.

     Jin turns around to look at Taehyung, obviously confused. “Why?”

     “Because if I see you in that house tonight, I’ll break your jaw,” Tae gets up from the bed, walking past Jin while patting his back. “Oh, I’ll take those condoms too,” he holds out his hand and looks at Jin.

     He scoffs before slapping the condoms into Taehyung’s palm. People in the frat house knew one thing: never argue with Taehyung.

•••

     It was now 7:55. You, Hannah, and Jimin waited outside of the party, watching the couples pour into the house. Jimin had his arm snaked around Hannah’s waist, which she had no problem showing how much it annoyed her with the look on her face. 

     It was cool enough outside to be able to see the puff of air that came out of everyone’s mouths everytime someone breathed. Your outfit wasn’t made for the weather, given the fact you expected Jin to be on time. He seemed like a nice enough guy to not stand you up, but here you were.

     “You guys don’t have to wait out here with me,” you plead for them to just go inside, so you could be in your feelings by yourself. They had no problem taking you up on your offer, which left you outside standing there like an idiot since no one else was walking into the party. Hugging your arms to your chest to maintain whatever warmth you still had, you sat yourself on the curb. You had no ride back to your dorms since Jimin was the one that gave everyone a ride.

     “Looking for somebody?” A deep voice startles you from behind. Realizing it was Taehyung when you turn around.

     “Not anymore. I just want to go home,” your teeth chatter together. Your fingers felt as if they were going to go numb any second now.

     “Come on, I can take you if you want,” he lays his jacket over your shoulders and pulls you up.

     Although he was being extremely sweet right now, you knew that this was his fault. He lived with Jin and was the only one that knew that you and him were going together, other than Hannah of course. Annoyance struck a chord within you when you stood face to face with him.

     “You know, if I could change these circumstances I would,” you say.

     “What?”

     “If things weren’t how they were right now, I would love to be with you Tae. Why do you have to make this so hard? Pushing people away from me? I know you are the reason I’m standing out here in the freezing cold and not in that house with Jin right now!” Your blood began to boil as you continued talking and you could see that his was starting to as well with the look of his jaw bulging out the sides of his face.

     “I’m driving you home, now,” he hissed through his teeth before taking your hand in his. As much as you would’ve fought back in that moment, it was too cold outside to say no to your only way home. You sat in his passenger seat, farthest away from him. The hard slam of his door made you avoid eye contact with him as he drove. The ride was silent. You stared out the window, not noticing the fact that Taehyung’s knuckles were white against the steering wheel. 

     “Look, I don’t understand why you’re so mad.” You were honestly so fed up with his attitude, considering he had ruined what could’ve been a good night. It’s not like you wanted to come with Jin, but that fact that Taehyung went the extra mile to fuck it up had you more than pissed off. 

     “You know damn well why I’m mad! You took Jin, out of all people. You forget to text me back, no doubt texting him asking if he wanted to go with you!” You roll your eyes, fingers playing with a loose thread on the side of your dress. A couple responses of retaliation run through your brain, but before you can even start to yell at him, the idiot is still talking. “Why did you even have to go to that stupid party? Jungkook went so we just could’ve stayed at my place, but no. You had to go with Jin.”

     You inhale a breath. “Alright first of all, it’s not like I was waiting for an oppurtunity to go with him, now you’re just being stupid.” You can practically feel the tension grow. “What are you even angry about? Like this is pointless. I can’t go with you, so I brought Jin. It’s not like we were going to fuck, or kiss, or makeout. You’re just whining at this point.” 

     Taehyung tries to talk but you cut him off. 

     “We’re not even really dating so why the hell do you care?”

     Now you’ve really done it, because you’re almost sure he’s stopped breathing. It sounds so dead in the car that the blood rushing in your ears is deafening at this point. Taehyung keeps driving and the houses that your eyes follow come to an end as the street is lined with trees and nothing else for miles.

     Knuckles paper white, he turns the steering wheel to the right so he can pull off to the side of the road. With the help of the shitty street lamp that provides you little to no light. The look on Taehyung’s face as he throws the car in park is nothing, if not terrifying. Now you’re wishing you hadn’t said anything. 

     “You really just fucking said that to me?” Your heart is slamming against your sternum as he kills the engine. You have no words and it feels like hours before you finally look up to meet his gaze. You almost detect a glint of hurt in his eyes, but with the dim lighting you can’t really tell. “We don’t have to be dating for me to care. We don’t even have to be fucking, for me to care. I cared about you way before we started hooking up. I cared before Jungkook and Hannah got into that huge fight.”

     You feel his emotions rolling off of him in waves, but he doesn’t let up. “Then, you go to this dumb party, with Jin. You know he was planning to bring condoms?” Taehyung moves closer to you now, you can feel his breath on your face. Maybe that’s because he isn’t done cussing you out. “I find that hilarious that Jin even thinks he has a chance. That, what? He was going to fuck you tonight? Touch you, make you moan like you do for me?”

     You let those words sink in, knowing damn well that Jin would’ve gotten nowhere if he tried to make a move. Looking at his eyes, you find that you can’t even look away from his stare. Like it’s holding you down to the seat.

     “You think he would, babygirl?” Taehyung lets out a slight growl that’s almost animalistic, but it still makes your nerves light on fire. “Treat you better than daddy does?” You know that tone like the back of your hand, and you know he’s waiting for an answer. The next time you look back to his eyes, there’s a mischievous look to them like he knows exactly what his next move is gonna be.

     “No, daddy.”

     He hums in approval. “Good girl. Get in the backseat. When I’m done with you, you’re gonna forget who the hell Jin is.”

     You obliged by scrambling to the back seat and watch him walk into the back to meet you there. His belt buckle was already undone when he pulled you into a long hot kiss. His breath was hot between the kisses. His tongue skillfully traveling inside your mouth and your neck. Your hand felt the fabric covering his dick and found it to already be rock hard underneath. “Let’s finish what we couldn’t earlier,” his voice is low. Your fingers unzipped his pants to pull them down and fall at his ankles. His length raised from the lack of constraint. “Show me how sorry you are for earlier. Daddy isn’t too pleased about what I heard.”

     His hand pushed the back of your head for your lips to make contact with his cock. You wrapped your mouth around the tip, working your way down his length. His hand was grabbing a ball of your hair, using that to his advantage to push you down deeper. Your throat stretched for him, spit gathering on the sides of your mouth. It wasn’t long before he was watching you gag repeatedly on his dick. The feeling of your throat closing around him made his head throw back in pleasure. He was fucking your throat raw, thrusting up into you and pouring every ounce of feeling from earlier into you. His teeth bite his bottom lip back to keep himself together.

     He pulled your head back from his dick to catch your breath. His hands traveled up your dress, stopping at your damp underwear. He pressed his thumb against your clit as his other hand yanked your dress above your bare chest. He had no problem picking your petite body to sit on top of him, the wet base of his cock now under you. He pulled his lips to your ear, “I don’t forgive you yet, babygirl.” His hand slaps your ass hard, yet the delicious sting makes you drip on top of him.

     You grinded circles against him, his hands squeezing and smacking your breasts. The lack of light made him look almost demonic with the blackness filling his eyes. 

     You finally slam down on him, causing him to suck in his breath sharply. You wanted him to feel sorry too. His hands grip and pull your ass apart. You bounced on top of him, making sure to feel the friction of your clit against his stubbly pubic bone. Your moans squeaked as he slipped his pinky into your ass. The pressure of another one of your holes being filled has your back arching. Relentlessly still smacking the same place on your ass, you were sure that there was going to be a welt there tomorrow.

     His fingers wrapped around your throat to pull you close. His lips pressed against yours as he fucks up into you. You could hear him growl when he pulls your lip between his teeth, pulling and letting it snap back in place. He could tell you were close, this was the moment he was waiting for. His hand dips down to smash into your clit. Your eyes roll to the back of your head as your left without breath. You were so close, but he wasn’t going to let you come yet.

     “Say my name,” he instructs.

     “Yes, Daddy,” you whimper. He smacks your ass again, a whine falling from your lips.

     “No, my name,” his pace and force leaves your body jolting back and fourth. You wanted to let go already, but he wasn’t done with you.

     “Yes, Taehyung,” Your mouth stays open, nonexistent screams try to escape.

     “Louder,” he growls, the grip on your throat tightening slightly.

     “Fuck me, Taehyung!” You scream his name from pleasure repeatedly until you both couldn’t contain yourselves anymore. His thrusts stutter inside of you until his warmth spreads inside your abdomen. His arms pull your body against his, chest heaving under you. He stayed inside of you, both of you laying there silent. Eventually, he pulled your face up with his finger under your chin. The kiss he planted was gentle and soft against your lips. He rested his forehead against yours, examining the features he could in the lighting.

     He had to make sure he didn’t say anything that he would regret, so he cut the moment short. “Maybe we should get going again. It’s pretty cold,” he laughs lightly. Now remembering the heat wasn’t on, you pushed your dress back down to your thighs.

     You agreed as you both climbed back up to the front seat. He insisted that you could keep his jacket on for the ride back since your dress was too skimpy to begin with. That comment made you roll your eyes, but you took the jacket anyways. The ride back to your dorm was enjoyable afterwards. Filled with you guys blaring songs and singing along, realizing that he could actually sing. You found both of you laughing at the same stupid things and enjoying each others presence without being sexual. Taehyung took the long way back to the dorm just to spend more time with you, but he never said anything and hoped you didn’t notice. 

     Although he took the long way home, you found yourself parked outside of the dorm in no time. His hand rested on your leg, the smile on his face spreading from ear to ear. You didn’t know how to say goodbye after the rollercoaster of events that happened tonight.

     “(Y/N), can we take this to the next level? I’ve been wanting to actually hang out with you other than having sex for awhile now. I don’t care what Jungkook would say anymore, I want to be with you,” his hand interlaces with yours.

     You sat there completely silent. You wanted to say yes, but you just couldn’t. You let the jacket fall off your shoulders and you slid away from his grasp. His smile faded when he saw that you weren’t as enthusiastic about the idea like he was.

     “It’s not that I don’t want to, Tae. But, Hannah has been my best friend for years now and…” you trail off. “I’m sorry. I can’t,” you look up to see that he’s not even looking at you anymore. His gaze was directed towards his hands on the steering wheel. Your heart broke by how defeated he looked in front of you. He said nothing else and you felt it was best to step out of the car to not make the situation worse.

     As soon as you closed the door shut, he sped off. You were outside alone once again.

That Should Be Me - kth drabble

Pairing: Taehyung x Female!Reader, Jin x Female!Reader

Word Count: 3.5k+ Genre: Mostly angst, some fluff Topics: College!AU, Unrequited love Warning: Kinda sad but not TOO sad

No one ever sets out to end up in these sorts of situations, but lo and behold, they do. Are they unbelievably unlucky? Did they commit some unforgivable sin in a past life? Are they just lackluster people? Whatever the explanation, you too found yourself head over heels in love with someone who didn’t love you back. You had been friends since the start of freshman year when a friendly, cheerful boy in one of your classes introduced himself. Ever since then Taehyung had been a huge part of your life. He could make you smile even on what felt like the worst days, and he was one of the most caring people you had ever met. You didn’t realize you were falling until it was much, much too late. No one knew except for your two other closest friends, Jimin and Sara. 

The three of you had been roommates since sophomore year when you decided to live together, despite others’ comments that a guy living with two girls was a bit of a weird situation. It had never felt weird. No, living with them had felt like home right away. You picked each other up when you were down, understood each other better than anyone else, and spent most of your time together, often with some of your other friends as well. Now, in the fall of your senior year, you were much busier than before, but you still made sure to spend time together. Your roommates knew how strongly you felt towards Taehyung and carefully guarded your secret, though Jimin occasionally tried to push you to do something about it. You knew you wouldn’t, though. You were very quiet and shy, as well as a homebody, and confessing was so far outside your comfort zone it was almost comical. So you did nothing, just holding in your feelings, praying they would go away eventually.

Sitting in the floor of Taehyung's dorm room, studying for a class you had in common, it certainly didn’t feel as if you were going to fall out of love any time soon. Sure, it was hard to hang out with him like this when you felt how you did, but you’d rather keep him as a friend than lose him altogether, so you dealt with it. After hours of studying (with several spurts of getting distracted by each other’s silliness and falling into laughing fits), you went to take a break. “Be right back, I’m going to use your bathroom, okay?” You said as you stood, giving him a small smile. He nodded absentmindedly, looking over some of his notes. 

After you’d gone, however, your phone buzzed with new text messages. You’d left it sitting there, he realized, and against his better judgment, he peeked at the screen. It was a text from Sara. “I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. This whole unrequited love BS isn’t for the faint of heart, is it?”, it read, followed by another immediately after. “Btw Jimin’s out right now, you and I can have a movie night when you’re done studying.” Taehyung blinked, carefully sitting the phone back in its place as he processed what he’d read.  You were in love with someone who didn’t feel the same, and Jimin was out? Was it on a date? Wait, you were in love with Jimin! That must be it. He jumped headfirst into the conclusion. He felt bad knowing that his friend was hurting and he hadn’t even noticed. He should really try to be there for you, he thought to himself. 

You returned to the room after that and he gave you a huge grin, which you found a little random. You gave him a questioning look as you sat back down. “You know you’re one of my favorite people, right? I’m just really happy you’re in my life, you’re pretty awesome, you know that?” He said sincerely, and you felt that right in your heart, honestly shocked by his unusual candor. “Thanks, Tae. I’m happy you’re in my life, too.” You replied quietly, smiling despite your confusion, shaking your head before returning to the textbook in front of you. Just for that moment you thought he might not be as far out of reach as you’d always believed.

A couple of weeks later you found yourself totally out of your element at a party your friends had dragged you to. You weren’t much of a party person, in fact you usually avoided them. But you knew Taehyung would be there, plus Sara and Jimin had pestered you into coming with them. You were feeling pretty optimistic as the night began. You looked really nice, if you did say so yourself, and were just the slightest bit hopeful that your feelings weren’t as one sided as you’d believed for so long. You navigated your way through the noisy, crowded house along with Jimin and Sara, who, after all this time, were a newly minted couple, complete with heart eyes for each other and holding hands. You were thrilled, honestly. It had been a long time coming and you were glad they were finally together. 

You scanned the room, hoping to see Taehyung, but as soon as you did, you wished you hadn’t. He was across the room looking as gorgeous as ever, but clinging to his arm was a girl who honestly looked like she could be a model. She was stunning, nearly as tall as he was, slender and with legs for days. You couldn’t help but stare in shock. She was clearly a very outgoing, social person, looking like she was talking constantly and saying hello to almost everyone who passed by, seemingly the social butterfly. And Tae looked happy. You didn’t think you had ever seen him look that happy when he was with you. The fragile hope you’d been carrying was instantly crushed, and it felt as if your heart had been run over by a truck. 

Feeling yourself getting emotional, you quickly fled out the back door. The house was on the edge of a lake and you kept going until you reached the dock before allowing yourself to collapse to your knees, the tears pouring from your eyes against your will. Who had you been kidding? That was the kind of girl he wanted, the kind of girl he deserved. A “hot” girl, a “fun” girl. Not an admittedly cute but short, bookish, shy person who hated large social gatherings. Basically, not you. 

You weren’t sure how long you sat there sobbing, trying to get a hold of your breathing and calm down but failing miserably, before you heard footsteps coming down the hill. You sniffled, hoping it was Sara or Jimin and not someone else. But you were unlucky. 

Taehyung sat down next to you, deep concern etched into his features. “Y/n? What’s wrong?” He asked so sincerely you almost wanted to laugh. When you just shook your head, the tears still coming, he wrapped you in a hug and held you close. “Hey, it’s okay… You’re okay… Tell me what happened.” He said quietly, trying to soothe you. By some miracle you pulled yourself together, calming down even though the tears were still running down your cheeks. You felt like you were going to be sick, pulling away from his hug. “I’m so stupid. I managed to fall in love with someone who’s never going to love me back, and even more foolishly, I thought maybe I had a chance…. Until tonight.” You admitted in a small voice, not making eye contact. 

Taehyung observed you carefully. “He came to the party?” He asked, and you shut your eyes tightly, nodding. “But with somebody else, and it just became so clear it’s never going to happen, and I was dumb to think that it could.” You said in a near-whisper. Taehyung thought over your words. Jimin had showed up with Sara, so clearly in love, and that must be what you were referring to. He really felt for you. He couldn’t imagine how you felt at the moment. “You’re not dumb. There is every reason for someone to love you, you’re wonderful. You’re so kind and so caring, you’re smart, you’re funny… You’re more than good enough for any guy. You’re probably too good for him.” Tae said, and you wanted to just melt into a puddle on the ground and disappear. He had no idea, you thought. 

You sighed deeply, wiping your eyes. “It doesn’t matter. I’m just going to go home. You go enjoy the rest of your night, don’t let me bring down your mood.” You said, forcing a small smile at him. He furrowed his brow in concern. “Do you want me to take you home? Is it a good idea for you to be alone right now?” He asked, trying to be a good friend. You shook your head. “No, no. You should get back to…. oh, I don’t know her name… The girl you came with. Go have fun, don’t worry about me. I’ll go home and go to bed.” Taehyung nodded slowly, accepting your instructions. “Yeah, that’s my girlfriend Kira. You should meet her sometime when you feel better. Get home safe, okay?” He said, patting you on the shoulder before rising to his feet and returning to the party. 

You didn’t want to ruin Jimin and Sara’s first outing as a couple, so you just sent a vague text that you were tired before returning home, burrowing under the covers of your bed as the tears came without stopping. You didn’t sleep much that night. 

Over the next week or so you were even less social than usual, noticeably changed. Your two roommates, now knowing what’d happened, had been taking good care of you and trying to cheer you up a bit. But your other friends and classmates didn’t fail to catch your lack of smiles, how you were even quieter than usual, or how distant you seemed. You couldn’t avoid the class you had with Taehyung, so you just tried to stay extremely focused, ignoring his attempts to start conversation or inquiries about whether you were okay. He definitely noticed how unusual your behavior was, and he sent you texts a couple times a day trying to be supportive or make you feel better. Little did he know that he was only making matters worse. Meanwhile, every time your friends met up for lunch or for game night or anything of that nature, he brought Kira along with him, clearly extremely into her. You weren’t surprised. She had everything you lacked. So over time you stopped going to those gatherings, too. 

Weeks passed and Taehyung was still in his “not leaving you alone in a misguided attempt to be a good friend” routine, refusing to leave you alone no matter how much you pushed him away. He finally showed up at your door one Saturday, smiling and carrying a bag of snacks. “We’re having a movie day, I won’t take no for an answer. You’ve always been there for me when I was down, so I’m going to do the same thing for you. I’m worried about you, you’re so not yourself. So let me cheer you up!” He insisted. The two of you sat down on the couch in the living room, with you trying to breathe deeply as you covered your face, frustrated beyond belief. He babbled on cheerily about how you were a total catch and you shouldn’t be so down on yourself, that everything was going to be totally fine and that he couldn’t let you just retreat into yourself without trying to help. 

Suddenly the pent up feelings bubbled over. “STOP.” You yelled, not looking at him. He was shocked. You were always so soft-spoken, not once had he heard you raise your voice like that. When you finally looked at him, the pain in your eyes was clearly visible to him. “It’s you. I’m in love with YOU. Honestly, I have been for years. I know you have good intentions, but what you’re doing here isn’t helping. I’m trying to get over you but you just won’t let me.” Tears welled up in your eyes, your voice sounding strained. Taehyung was, in short, astounded. Never in a million years would he have anticipated this. “I…. I’m sorry. You’re right, I just don’t feel that way about you. You’re my friend, I don’t…. I’ve never seen you like that.” He said like word vomit. 

You laughed harshly to yourself as a couple tears escaped. “Yeah, because there’s every reason to love me, wasn’t that your phrasing? I’m more than good enough for anybody, you said…. Well, anybody except you, I guess. It’s cruel, really, to hear you say those things knowing the truth of how you feel. You mean well, Tae, and I’m furious that I can’t blame you for this. I can’t blame you for how much this hurts. But you have to stop now. Leave me alone. Stop talking to me, stop sending me motivational texts, don’t even smile at me. Just leave me be, please.” You implored. “Go away so I can learn to let you go.” You said in a whisper, more tears leaking from your eyes. Not sure what else to do and still in shock, Taehyung nodded dumbly, getting up to leave. He paused in the doorway for just a moment, muttering a quiet “I’m sorry” before leaving. And when he was gone you finally broke down again.

He did as you asked, completely cutting off contact and leaving you alone. You did your best to avoid him. He was surprised at how much it hurt every time you avoided eye contact with him or turned to walk in a different direction upon spotting him. He figured it was just the loss of a close friend being painful, so otherwise he continued on as usual. Taehyung spent most of his time with Kira. He found himself bored in most conversations with her, and he found her loud, chatty nature kind of annoying. But everyone said they made the perfect couple, so he must just be feeling this way because of guilt, right? He convinced himself of that, pushing away any thoughts that his relationship wasn’t right. 

Months passed. For a while nobody really saw you aside from Jimin and Sara. If you were shy before, you were antisocial now. If you were a homebody, you were now a recluse. You had all but disappeared from your greater social circle, knowing it was the only way to avoid Taehyung. You focused on your schoolwork. You were visibly sad leading up to winter break, and you knew everyone else was noticing how unlike your usual self you’d been. You were grateful for the reprieve of the break, a chance to live your life for a while without the threat of running into Tae. The time away did you good and you felt like things were finally looking up. 

The glimmer of hope was amplified tenfold when over the break, you met a guy in a bookshop with a radiant smile and a squeaky laugh. Seokjin, as you learned was his name, was a master’s student at your university. You’d struck  up a conversation as he was perusing the cookbooks in the shop you’d met in. He was one of those genuinely nice people who brightened your day without trying. He made you laugh with cheesy jokes and fascinated you with stories of his cooking adventures. 

Before you knew it you were spending most of your time together. You started to feel happy again and for the first time in longer than you could remember, you felt something in your heart other than pain. With him you didn’t feel like you needed to be a “hot girl” or “fun girl”. You didn’t feel like you were missing anything. He thought you were small and cute and loved nothing more than quiet nights in with you, cooking together or watching dramas. You no longer thought about how you wished your legs were longer, or how you wished you were more social, or how you didn’t think you were pretty like other girls. Like the perfect fit of two puzzle pieces, you felt like enough. By the time break was ending you were officially dating. Not that Seokjin wasn’t absolutely lovely, but it wasn’t just him that changed how you saw yourself. The time away from an environment where you saw nothing but flaws had done you good, and as much as he had helped heal you, you’d healed yourself. 

At the start of the new semester, Taehyung caught himself keeping an eye out for you, hoping to see you even from afar. He missed you terribly, if he was honest. To his delight, you had a class in common again. He felt a warmth in his chest when he finally saw you again, settling into a seat in the lecture hall. The light had returned to your eyes. You were smiling again. The relief he felt was immense, having felt awful for hurting you in the first place. 

Without realizing it, he watched you, eventually noticing your focus on the new TA and the looks you were exchanging. It gave him an odd almost nauseous feeling. When the class finally ended, he stopped to read a text before he packed up his things to leave. That’s when he heard you laugh. It occurred to him what a beautiful sound it was and how much he had missed hearing it. Then he looked up. You were standing with the new TA, arms wrapped around each other as you whispered, laughing at something. Taehyung couldn’t remember the last time he saw you smile like that. The TA planted a quick kiss on your forehead before taking your hand, and the two of you walked out of the lecture hall together. Though he couldn’t wrap his head around why, Taehyung felt like he’d been slapped. 

He couldn’t stop thinking about it for the rest of the day, including when he got dinner with Kira that night. “Baaaaaabe! You’re not listening to me!” She whined, pouting. It was true, he had totally zoned out. He was too busy trying to make sense of the overwhelming feelings he was experiencing. It was late that same night that he finally realized what was going on. The realization hit him with both excitement and a sense of horror: he had feelings for you. The horrifying part was how much he’d hurt you, only to discover his feelings after all this time. But you had really loved him, right? The strength and sincerity of your feelings for him had been so apparent. Surely it wasn’t too late.

That’s how he found himself rushing across campus past midnight, hurrying to your apartment, feeling like he was about to burst with all the emotion running through him. He knocked loudly on the door, breathless from the anticipation and his rush to get to you. You were beyond surprised to see him when you opened the door, standing there with messy hair and a blanket wrapped around yourself. You frowned, entirely perplexed at his sudden appearance. “Tae? What are you doing here?” You asked in complete confusion. Taehyung had a big, dumb grin painted on his face. “Y/n, I’m so sorry it took me this long to realize it, I have feelings for you too! I - I think I love you too.” 

You could hear the excitement in his voice. Your confused face morphed into an annoyed frown. “You smug bastard. After all this time now that I’m finally happy you want to bust back in here and drop a confession?! Are you joking?!” Your voice was growing shrill with anger. The blanket you were wrapped in dropped to the floor, forgotten as you angrily gestured at him. “I honestly can’t believe you’re actually this selfish. You don’t get to treat me like I’m disposable, like some toy you can pick up or toss away whenever you get bored.” This was the second time ever he’d heard your voice raised in a near-yell. 

He heard footsteps as he stared at you, finally taking in your appearance. You were dressed in a men’s tee shirt that was much too big for you and a pair of shorts. It was impossible to miss the dark marks on your neck. A taller figure approached from behind you, placing a hand on your shoulder. It was the TA, also messy-haired in a sweatshirt and sweatpants. You turned to look at him and your angry face transformed instantly into a soft, affectionate smile. “Everything okay?” He asked you, and you nodded. “Everything’s fine, Jinnie. Taehyung was just leaving.” You turned back to Taehyung and in an instant your gaze was like ice. 

The pain in his chest and the hollowness he felt was suffocating. Was this how you’d felt for so long whenever you were with him? Tears were welling up in his eyes, but he just nodded and turned away, leaving as you shut the door. He’d been a fool, and he was far too late, he realized, thinking he may have made the biggest mistake of his life. The smiles that had been reserved for him alone for years now belonged to someone else. And though he knew it was selfish, he couldn’t help but be bitter that you had moved on.

The Queen [Toriel] shall perish, and I will become the new ruler of the underground! Human, I must take you alive to the castle, and to the Queen. There’s no point in trying to escape from me, human. After all, the only way out from this place is past me, which would lead you straight to the castle. But first! I’ll have to see if you are worthy of being taken. Outside the RUINS dwells much greater danger, and if you can’t even look after yourself in this place, then…there’s no point in keeping someone as weak as you alive.

[Asgore’s HOME]

(*Seeing a small and worn out, yet majestic house in a place like this fills you with DERTERMINATION.)

Asgore: “I’m surprised that you have actually made it this far. Well, not really. I did destroy all the puzzles, after all. I honestly don’t understand why anyone would think it is necessary to have something as annoying as those puzzles. What’s the point of having them if everyone going through the RUINS is going to get killed by me? Anyways, human. Go to the first room to your right. You must rest so that you are in your best state when I present you to the Queen.”

[Check Mirror] *It’s you.

[Going down stairs without talking to Asgore] Asgore: “Go upstairs, if you want to stay alive. I have yet to remove the bombs and mines down here.”

“Know that I can lock you up anytime if I want, human. Just go to your room.”

“You are the hope of monsters and humans. I cannot let you go alone, for I should be the one that takes you to the castle.”

*You tell Asgore that you are going to go outside the RUINS by yourself.

Asgore: “…If that’s how you are going to behave, I will have to destroy the door. Then, you will be trapped here unless you finally decide to come with me. Now, go back to your room. This is an order.”

[The Door] Asgore: “You wish to go back home, don’t you? Ahead of this corridor lies the door to the rest of the underground. I’m going to destroy it. You won’t be able to run away from me then. Go back upstairs, human. Every human who falls down here never gets out alive. I’ve seen so many of them trying to escape, but they all have failed, and died.   Foolish human. If you go outside, the Queen…Toriel…will kill you. But if you let me take you to the castle, I can let you live on and I will protect you, once I become the King.

You don’t have the power to stop me! ... Even the Queen, Toriel, is yet to defeat me. If you truly wish to go outside, prove to me that you are strong enough to survive. Prove yourself by defeating me!

[Fighting Asgore]

*Asgore blocks your way! - Author’s note: the solution to this fight is very similar to the one from Undertale. You must fight to defeat him.

[After defeating Asgore] Asgore: “...You were…much stronger than I’ve thought... (Looks up at Chara) You… really want to go through that door…that much?”

[Attack] [>Mercy]

Asgore: “...Fine... Do whatever you want. There’s no way I can stop you at this rate. Go through. And meet her…Meet Toriel, the Queen.”

(Asgore stays sat in front of/near the door after letting Chara pass through)

[Last encounter with Temmie in the RUINS] Temmie: “AMAZING! U passed the door and didn’t even kill ASGORE! Human so cool…but…Tem is so….w-whateVeS!! Tem prOuds of human!! The outside gon b so cruel and scarier…but…Tem believes that Human can do what Tem couldn’t… N-NO! Human no need to feel pressure! Tem always gonna watch U… and helps U!! So Human, Dun’t Die!!!!”

[Way to Snowdin Town] *...? *There’s a camera in the bushes. It smells of gunpowder…?

==Papyrus==

He’s always smoking, with his one eye almost closed most of the times. He wears a black sleeveless shirt, a pair of white socks, and a pair of black Adidas slippers with 3 white lines across on each one of the pair. His bones are all yellow except for his skull. He sells Tortillas.

Papyrus: "Human. Don’t you know how to treat your new pal?

Just hand over your filthy wad of money, that’s all it takes.”

*You hand over your money to the mysterious being.

Papyrus: “...? What. That’s all you’ve got? Darn it, today’s the worst. Make sure you carry around some more next time, ya little snotface. Anyways, you are human, right? I can’t believe one actually had managed to come out from…there. I’m Papyrus. Papyrus the Skeleton. I’m supposed to be looking for humans, but…Ya know. I can’t really be bothered. I really don’t care what happens to this place as long as I get my money. But my brother… ‘Sans’, he’s a human-hunting maniac. He’s gonna be running down here yelling at any moment, I’m pretty sure.

Hey bucko, not that I care if you die or not, but how bout I hide you from him for a while? It’s not going to be for free, though. Maybe helping you like this will make it up for giving me all that money just now? Here, if you wanna make the deal, cross this bridge.”

(A giant boulder falls and destroys the bridge as both Papyrus and Chara crosses to the other side of the bridge)

*You feel streams of cold sweat running down your back.

Papyrus: “Oh, I haven’t told you about the traps, have I. There’s gonna be heaps more of these on the way. Quick, hide behind the sentry station, would ya.”

(You do just that)

“Sup, Sans.”

==Sans==

His clothes has the Delta Rune symbol on the left chest area. He also has the symbol on his pupils. There’s a long open crack above his left eye socket area, probably similar to the one Horrortale Sans has. Loves SANSdwiches (ba dum tss). Says ‘NGH-HEH HEH!’ as he laughs. His weapon is a scythe made of bones AND it looks like a bone (translator’s note: Not sure how that would work but that’s what it says).

SANS: "DON’T !!!!!!!!! ‘SUP’ ME, PAPYRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN’T YOU SEE THAT THE BRIDGE’S BEEN BROKEN? WAS IT YOU WHO’D TOUCHED THE TRAPS?! YOU IDIOT!!! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON IT, NOT BREAK IT!! ALL YOU DO IS SMOKE ALL DAY AND MESS THINGS UP FOR ME, PAPYRUS! AND JUST LOOK AT YOUR SICKLY, YELLOWING BONES!”

Papyrus: “Dude, I bet I’m gonna live for so long at this rate, my bones are turning into gold. Nye-heh.”

SANS: “UGH, THAT’S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FUNNY, PAPS!!! AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING JUST THEN, YOU WERE SMOKING LIKE A HOUSE ON FIRE AGAIN, WEREN’T YOU???”

Papyrus: “No not at all, bro. I was gonna smoke over there at the sentry station.”

SANS: “FOR HECK’S SAKE! IF YOU’VE GOT TIME FOR THAT, GO CLEAR THAT BOULDER AND FIX THE TRAPS, YOU SCUM! WHAT IF A HUMAN COMES THROUGH???! DON’T YOU DARE TARNISH MY REPUTATION BY LETTING THEM ESCAPE, PAPYRUS! I AM THE BEST! I MUST BE THE BEST! I WILL CAPTURE A HUMAN! AND I, THE MAGNIFICENT SANS, WILL RISE TO THE TOP WHERE EVERYONE WILL LOOK UPON ME WITH THEIR UTMOST RESPECT!! MORE HONOUR….MORE RECOGNITION…I WILL FINALLY FULLFIL MY DREAM OF BECOMING A ROYAL GUARD! SERIOUSLY, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY I AM STILL NOT ACCEPTED TO THE ROYAL GUARD. EVERYONE OBVIOUSLY FEARS AND OBEYS THE MAGNIFICENT SANS, SO WHY???”

Papyrus: “Um, prolly cuz you always get into troubles.” SANS: “WHAT?! YOU ARE THE ONE CAUSING ALL THE TROUBLES, YOU ROTTENING BAG OF BONES! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY HARDSHIPS! YOU REEK AND I DON’T EVEN WANT TO GO NEAR YOU!!!!”

Papyrus: “But we don’t even have noses, Sans.”

SANS: “GAH!!!(*DISGUSTED SKELETON NOISES*)”

Papyrus: “Chillax, dude. It’s true tho, right?”

SANS: “IT IS AND I HATE IT!!! SIGH… WHY DOES SOMEONE AS MAGNIFICENT AS ME…HAVE TO GET NEGLECTED LIKE THIS?”

Papyrus: “Well, you ARE pretty violent. You literally beat up any monsters that you come across.

I bet they are all scared…and…

…rattling their bones…”

SANS: “GAH!!!!!!!! I’M HAVING A POUNDING HEADACHE JUST TALKING TO YOU!!!”

Papyrus: “Zowie, that’s BONKers.”

SANS: “SCREW YOU PAPYRUS!!!!!!!!!I’M OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!”

[Sans goes off-stage]

Papyrus: “You can come out now, snotface. Oh you look pale, did ya hafta hold your breath cuz of the smoke? I don’t know how that feels cuz I’m just a skelee.”

* You tell him that the smell of rotting sandwiches was killing you more than the smoke did.

Papyrus: “Oh damn, I forgot about those again. Sans made those. Those are uh…you know. Those taste like cheese stuck between dirty socks. Would you believe me if I told you those smell like fruits, when freshly served? He makes me eat that garbage EVERYDAY. I don’t understand how he can suck so much at making something so basic.

Oh, got a little distracted, haven’t we.

Welp, I did your money’s worth. You should get going. He might come back. And when he sees you then, he will decapitate you. You wouldn’t want that to happen, aye?”

(And just as you try to enter the next map…)

Papyrus: “Um actually… the area beyond this point is full of traps because Sans is in charge. You are most likely going to die if you take a step there. How bout I guide you to a shortcut? Not for free, obviously.

Howzaboutit?”

150 G Will you pay him? [>N]

(You die immediately in the area that comes next to Sans & Papyrus encounter that is bound to happen after this payment) GAME OVER ???: “Chara! You are the hope of my future. Stay determined!” [>Y] Papyrus: “Sweet. It’s a deal. The shortcut’s just over there. I’ll see you in the next room, bucko.”

(Translator’s note: It doesn’t quite make sense to me how Chara could have paid more money, when Papyrus took all their money the first time. Are they using cheques or something? Put it on the tab?)

*(??? ???? ??? ??? ????(I can’t translate this, it just doesn’t make sense to my thick skull).)

[Papyrus & Sans]

SANS: “SO, AS I WAS SAYING ABOUT ALPHYS.”

!

SANS: “YOU! YOU MUST BE…A HUMAN, RIGHT?! OH, THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME!”

Papyrus: “Hmm, I think that’s a rock, Sans.”

SANS: “ARE YOU BLIND!! THAT’S DEFINITELY NOT A ROCK!!”

Papyrus: “Well…About that...(Stares with his right eye half-closed)”

SANS: ….(>:^[) Papyrus: “My righ—”

SANS: “GAH!!!!!!!WHATEVER!!!! THAT’S A HUMAN! A HUMAN FINALLY ARRIVES! ALPHYS WILL… I’M GONNA… I’LL BECOME… A ROYAL GUARD! I CAN BECOME A ROYAL GUARD! OH YES I SURE WILL! HUMAN! YOU SHALL NOT PASS THIS AREA.

BECAUSE I, THE MAGNIFICENT SANS, WILL DECAPITATE YOU!! WELL ACTUALLY, THAT COMES AFTER I’D CAPTURED YOU.

YOU WILL BE TAKEN TO ALPHYS!

AND!

ANNND!

UM.

WELL, SOMETHING’S GONNA HAPPEN. YEAH!

THE NEXT STAGE TO THIS AREA IS MY TURF, AND I’M SURE YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO SURVIVE MY TRAPS!! NGH-HEH-HEH!!!!” (goes off-stage)

Papyrus: “Well then, shall we go?”

                   ?                  ?? ||||||||        ??? ||||||||   +---- ||||||||-+ ||||||||?? ||||||||   ?????

[The shortcut takes both of them to that part of the game immediately, skipping all the maps that were supposed to come prior to it]

Papyrus: “There’s a town just past the bridge. Good luck, chump.”

[Long bridge before Snowdin Town]

SANS: “WHAT!!!  HOW DID YOU GET PAST MY TRAPS SO EASILY…AND SO FAST TOO, HUMAN?? YOU SLIPPERY SNAIL! WELL, WHATEVER! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SURVIVE THIS ONE! BE HOLD, THIS IS YOUR LAST AND MOST DANGEROUS CHALLENGE: THE GAUNTLET OF DEADLY TERROR!”

(Various traps come down)

“WITH MY COMMAND, EVERYTHING WILL ACTIVATE! CANNONS WILL FIRE, SPIKES WILL FALL! AND BLADES WILL SWING! THE CHANCES OF YOU SURVIVING THIS, YOU ASK? NONE! ARE YOU READY, HUMAN??? BECAUSE I! AM! ABOUT! TO DO IT!”

?...

Papyrus: “Uh, something wrong, dude?”

SANS: “UGH, WHY ISN’T THIS STUPID THING WORKING?? WHY?? ARGH, SCREW THIS!! I’M SICK OF EVERYTHING ALWAYS TRYING TO RUIN MY DAY! JUST YOU WAIT, HUMAN! I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO KILL YOU AFTER I FIX THE GAUNTLET OF DEADLY TERROR!” (Sans goes off-stage)

Papyrus: “Hmm, so I guess…my role as your helper ends here? It’s just about enough labour for the money’s worth, don’t ya agree? Heeey, how come you are looking at me like that, as if you’re getting ripped off? I honestly did so much for you. You should thank me.”

[Snowdin Town]

(*All the houses in the town are old, boring and colourless. The townspeople look sad, and they do not seem to even have the strength to stand straight. Despite the depressing air that fills the whole town, the orange decorative lights above your head flicker, filling you with DETERMINATION.)

==Asriel==

Asriel: "You are a human, aren’t you?

But why would one be here? Well um…whatever. Are you going to the CORE as well? To see mom…I mean, the Queen Toriel?

It must have been so hard for you, to have come all the way here.”

==Snowdin Shop, Gerson==

Welcome. Watcha need?

[You say hello] Gerson: “You are not from around here, aren’t ye? Welcome to Snowdin Town. It’s been forever since the last time there’s been an outsider here. This stinking town’s not made for attracting tourists, after all. So, where dizya come from? The capital? You don’t look like a traveller.”

[You ask him about the things to do in Snowdin Town] Gerson: “…You seriously want to hang out here in Snowdin? Huh. Well, there is a big restaurant run by a lady called Muffet. The food there is okay-ish from what I know, but she’s a stingy one. Never misses a digit when it comes to counting money.

Also, you’ll see a library right next to the restaurant. I don’t recommend going inside, so don’t blame me if you do end up going there. It’s all dusty from years of neglect, and all you’ll find there are some outdated books and old, rusty, creaking desks.

Right next to my shop is the inn. Maybe you can rest there, but the beds? They have the worst kind. Plain horrible. They make your back hurt for a week. Oh, and it seems that the owner of the inn has a sister who’s apparently went out to live in Waterfall. I don’t know much of what happened to her.

By the way, have you seen a pair of funky skeletons on the street? Be careful out there, kiddo. If you stay outside for too long, they might come and molest you, take your money away or maybe even cut off all your limbs. Brothers, I think. They just suddenly appeared one day, threatening the townsfolk and…things here have gotten worse than ever. Now everyone’s traumatised and always terrified.”

[The history of the town] Gerson: “What, are you seriously asking me about the history of the town, right here and now? Do kids even go to school these days...Hmm, actually, that’s understandable. The underground school is utter trash. Alright kid, here it goes.

Long ago, many monsters used to live in the RUINS. Long story short, they all eventually had to evacuate to the end of the underground. But only the rich and the strong survived the journey to the end, and the poor and the weak, such as myself, left behind the cold and dark place we now call Snowdin.

That being said, you should keep away from the RUINS. The door there had been locked for ages, but you shouldn’t even try unless you are a ghost or have a reason to dig a big ol’ tunnel through the ground. Anyone who gets near the door, dies.”

[About life] Gerson: “Life? It’s always the same, full of struggles and frustration. I’m gonna become claustrophobic just hiding inside like this every day. I want to go out to the surface again. Who wouldn’t? This wretched place’s the worst you can ever set your feet into. The ones of higher power repress the poor and the weak, and somewhere, every day, someone gets murdered and unspeakable things rot people’s mind. Who’d ever want to live here? But for us to all escape from this damned place, the magical barrier has to be taken down, which the Queen has yet to accomplish. I don’t have high hopes. Even if she does take it down someday, only the privileged monsters living at CORE will escape, and the rest will be abandoned like we always had been.

So, young one, if you want my word of advice, all I can tell you is: ‘get out of here as soon as you can’.”

[The Librarby]

-*(These are school reports about monster funerals. The yellowing sheets of paper suggest that they are from very long ago.) Monster funerals, technically speaking, are dumb as heck. When monsters get old and kick the bucket, they turn into dust. At funerals, we take that dust and spread it on that person’s favourite thing. They say the person’s memory will live on those things forever. Seriously, it’s an awfully dumb tradition.

-*While monsters are mostly made of magic, human beings are mostly made of water. Humans, with their physical forms, are far stronger than us. But they will never know the joy of getting their custom magic-bullet-patterned merchandises. It’s all about business, baby!

-*Because they are made of magic, monsters’ bodies are attuned to their SOUL. If a monster doesn’t want to fight, its defence will weaken. And the crueller the intentions of our enemies, the more their attacks will hurt us. Therefore, if a being with a powerful SOUL struck with the desire to kill…

-* “MONSTER HISTORY PART 4” Fearing the humans, we evacuated out of our old home, RUINS. We braved through the harsh cold, damp swampland, and searing heat…Until we reached what we now call our capital. But what we couldn’t have foreseen was the battle between the monster kinds. Poverty and appalling crimes, along with our grudge against humanity, have let the monster society to fall apart.

-*Love… hope… compassion…? (Various words are scribbled, but are cancelled out to make it hard to read them) This is what people say monster SOULs are made of. But the absolute nature of “SOUL” is unknown. After all, humans have proven that monster SOULs don’t need these things to exist.

[Bonebrother’s mail boxes]

(LEFT) (*The name ‘SANS’ is written on this mailbox. It’s full of memo papers and letters. None of them seems to have been read, but they are still all crumpled anxiously. You also notice that some of the letters are about the bills.) (RIGHT) (*This mailbox is completely boarded up with wooden panels.)

[Sans Fight]

SANS: “HUMAN. ALTHOUGH IT IS A SHAME FOR ME TO ADMIT, I GET THAT YOU ARE PRETTY DARN STRONG AND CLEVER. AFTER ALL, YOU HAVE GOTTEN PAST MY TRAPS, SUCCESSFULLY UPSETTING SOMEONE AS MAGNIFICENT AS ME! ALSO…UH…PAPYRUS TOLD ME THAT YOU’D EATEN ONE OF MY SANDWICHES, AND SO GRACEFULLY, TOO! IS THAT TRUE?”

[*You tell him that you have not----]

SANS: “WELL, IT IS TRUE THAT MY COOKING SKILL IS THE FINEST!”

[*You try again to tell him that it’s all a lie------]

SANS: “I UNDERSTAND, HUMAN. MY SANDWICHES MUST BE SO GOOD (Translator’s note: it sure does bring all the boys and girls to the yard, am I right lads or am I right lads) , HOW ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE EATEN ONE THAT’S GOTTEN SO OLD? YOU MUST REALLY LIKE (MY) SANDWICHES! ( ?° ?? ?°) AND YOU ARE SO STRONG, TOO. I’VE NOTICED THAT YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PULL THROUGH MY DEVIOUSNESS AND ENTERTAIN ME FOR A WHILE! THE PEOPLE I’VE KILLED SO FAR HAVE DIED WAY TOO EASILY, AND IT’S NOT BEEN SO FUN FOR ME, YOU KNOW? UNTIL…YOU’VE CAME ALONG! OH, I SURE AM GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. OH, THE WHOLE KILLING YOU THING? DON’T WORRY TOO MUCH; I STILL NEED THE PERMISSION TO KILL YOU. SO, THAT’S BEING POSTPONED. NOW, HUMAN. I, THE MAGNIFICENT SANS, WILL… WAIT…. NO. I CAN’T SHOW YOU MY TRUE POWER AND MIGHTINESS UNLESS I STRIKE WITH THE INTENTION TO KILL YOU! AND I’VE WANTED TO TEST IT FOR LONG, TOO…ON AN ACTUAL, STRONG HUMAN LIKE YOU! HUMAN, I SHALL FIGHT YOU TO FINALLY REACH MY TRUE POTENTIAL! THAT I HAVE YET! TO HAVE WITNESS! AS THE NEWEST MEMBER… OF THE ROYAL GUARD!

*Sans blocks your way!

[Act>Check]

Sans [ATK and DEF : (awaiting author’s input)] He likes to say “NGH-HEH-HEH!”

SANS: “NGH-HEH-HEH!” (or) *Sans whispers ‘NGH-HEH-HEH!’ to you.

SANS: “WHAT, YOU AREN’T GONNA FIGHT? WELL! THAT MEAN’S I WILL HAVE TO THROW THE FIRST BLOW! TAKE THIS, YOU ARE GONNA HAVE A TERRIBLE TIME!

NGH-HEH-HEH!”

*The blade on Sans’ scythe glows cyan blue.

SANS: “NGH-HEH-HEH, I SEE YOU TRYING TO DODGE!

BUT HOW LONG WILL YOU LAST JUST BY DODGING?”

* Sans excitedly swings the scythe that’s been resting on his shoulders.

SANS: “I HOPE YOU WILL SURVIVE AS FAR TO SEE MY SPECIAL ATTACK, HUMAN!

* Sans is reminded of the time Papyrus had blown out cigarette smoke on Sans’ face, and frowns in disgust.

SANS: “GAH!! I’M GETTING DISTRACTED BECAUSE YOU ARE MOVING SO SLOW!”

* Sans is preparing for something.

SANS: “EVERYTHING WILL GO AS PLANNED ONCE I HAND YOU OVER TO ALPHYS.”

*Sans is laughing hysterically.

SANS: “AND THEN, SHE WILL FINALLY LET ME BE AN OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED ROYAL GUARD!

AS FOR PAPYRUS���GAH, I CAN’T CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT MONEY DRIVEN FOOL!”

*Sans is pretending to be cool.

SANS: “FROM THEN, THOSE ANNOYING LETTERS WILL STOP BEING DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE…AND I BET INSTEAD, SO MANY PEOPLE WILL GATHER AROUND MY HOUSE TO PAY THEIR RESPECT TOWARD ME!”

[When you are left with only 1 HP]

SANS: “I…I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE SO WEAK??? ARE YOU MESSING AROUND WITH ME?? THIS IS NOT FUN AT ALL! THERE’S NO WAY YOU ARE THE SAME PERSON WHO HAD DEFEATED ALL MY TRAPS! UNBELIEVABLE! YOU ARE GROUNDED FOR NOT LETTING ME USE MY SPECIAL ATTACK! I’M GOING TO PUT YOU IN THE ‘DUNGEON (PAPYRUS CALLS IT OUR GARAGE BUT ‘DUNGEON’ SOUNDS COOLER)!”

[BONEBROTHERS’ GARAGE]

*It’s a note from Sans.

SANS: ‘HUMAN! YOU SHALL REMAIN HERE UNTIL ALPHYS DECIDES WHAT TO DO WITH YOU. DON’T YOU DARE TRY TO ESCAPE!’

[Check dog food bowl] *(Unfortunately, it’s just dry food)

[Check exit door] *(The door knob is broken. A note that says “Under Papyrus’ Maintenance” hangs next to it.)

SANS:  “YOU!! HOW DID YOU GET OUT? GO BACK IN THERE, ALPHYS HASN’T COME YET!!”

(Second battle with Sans, Chara down to1HP again.)

SANS: “GOT YA, HUMAN! I DONNO HOW YOU HAD MANAGED TO GET OUT ONCE, BUT I WON’T LET YOU DO THAT TWICE! IT’S DANGEROUS TO BE OUTSIDE, SO GO BACK INSIDE!

*It’s a note from Sans.

SANS: ‘YOU SHOULD REALLY NOTIFY ME FIRST IF YOU WANNA GET OUT, HUMAN. I’M NOT LETTING OTHERS KILL YOU FIRST, THAT WOULD TAINT MY REPUTATION.

[Check dog food bowl] *(It has what seems like…uh, a sandwich inside. It’s shredded into small piece.)

[Check exit door] *(The door knob is still broken, but this time it has ducktapes on.)

SANS: “WHAT, AGAIN?! IS THE DOOR KNOB STILL NOT FIXED?? AND WHY ARE YOU KEEP TRYING TO COME OUT, YOU JUST END UP BEING CAPTURED WAY BEFORE I EVEN USE MY SPECIAL ATTACK! ARE YOU BEING PERKY BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU ARE SO STRONG? YOU MUST REALLY WANT TO CHALLENGE SOMEONE AS STRONG LIKE I, HUH!”

(Third battle with Sans, Chara down to1HP again.)

SANS: “NO, NEVERMIND…YOU ARE JUST TOO WEAK.”

*It’s a note from Sans.

SANS: ‘JUST PLEASE STAY PUT, WON’T YOU? I’VE TOLD PAPYRUS FOR THE SECOND TIME TO FIX THE DAMNED DOOR KNOB, SO NOW YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO GET OUT!”

[Check exit door] *(Someone tried to fix the door with some strips of cellophane tape. There is a thread of post-its next to the door.)

PAPYRUS! I TOLD YOU TO FIX THE DOOR! Okay. DON’T JUST ADMIT IT! FIX IT NOW AND PROPERLY! ‘Properly.’ YOU CALL THIS FIXED???? Well it does shut. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOCK IT! Oh hey wait, I think the door’s stuck… GAH, NEVERMIND!

SANS: “GAH, I KNEW HE WOULDN’T HAVE FIXED THE DOOR! ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO MESS WITH ME??? I DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY WITH YOU! GAH, I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS SITUATION. I COULD EASILY AMPUTATE YOUR LEGS SO YOU CAN’T WALK ANYMORE, YOU KNOW. IT SUCKS THAT I NEED TO PRESENT THE HUMAN NICE AND FRESH.”

(*Would you fight Sans for the fourth time?) >No

SANS: “HOW…HOW DARE YOU MAKE A MOCKERY OF ME!!...I’M GONNA GET LAUGHED AT FOR THIS, AREN’T I?! I WON’T BE ABLE TO BECOME A ROYAL GUARD, THEN…”

*(What would you say to him?)

-> You tell him that you are going to come back to Sans after running some errand.

SANS: “WHAT? BUT HOW CAN I TRUST YOU? WAIT A SECOND, MAYBE…MAYBE IT’S GOING TO BE FINE. YOU ARE BEING WATCHED BY ‘HER’ EVERYWHERE YOU GO IN THE UNDERGROUND, ANYWAYS. HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT THAT? THE ONLY WAY OUT HERE IS WHERE THE QUEEN IS, AND THE QUEEN WILL SURELY KILL YOU, AND BREAK THE BARRIER USING YOUR HUMAN SOUL. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BEAT HER IF YOU ARE SO WEAK LIKE THIS.

OH, HOW ABOUT I GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER? I MIGHT AS WELL USE YOU FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT AS LONG AS YOU ARE ALIVE. I HAVE TO ADMIT, IT’S BEEN PRETTY FUN FIGHTING YOU, AND I’M IMPRESSED THAT YOU’VE STILL SURVIVED DESPITE BEING A WEAKLING. HERE, YOU BETTER PICK UP IMMEDIATELY WHEN I CALL YOU, OR ELSE! ANYWAYS, I’M GONNA BE AT MY HOUSE FOR A WHILE. FEEL FREE TO VISIT. LATER, HUMAN! NGH-HEH-HEH!”

[Waterfall]

*(The voices echoing through the tunnel fills you with DETERMINATION.)

(Asriel)

Asriel: “Oh, it’s you. Are you going to where Alphys is? You see, I’ve actually been trying to become a Royal Guard myself. But I would always get rejected. Mom will sure be happy again if I could become a member of the Royal Guard… Oh, don’t tell anyone that I’d said that. Haha.”

[Sentry Station]

Papyrus: “Oh, you are not dead yet? Hey, that’s pretty impressive. Me? Can’t you see that I’m working? Having two jobs means twice the money. BTW, I’m going to Muffet’s. Wanna come and talk for a bit?”

>Sure       /       No I’m busy

Papyrus: “Alright. Come this way.”

[Muffet’s]

Papyrus: “Here we are. Let’s sit there. Hey, why the mean looks? Don’t tell me you are still angry that I took all your money? I deserved to get paid for what I’ve done, you know.

Hey boss, how’s the business going?”

*(Muffet aggressively hands out to Papyrus a handful of receipts.) Muffet: “It would be going fantastically only if you would pay your tab, you stinky skeleton.”

Papyrus: “Whoa there, you look as if you are going to break my bones. I’m already broke as heck, you know.”

Muffet: “I’ve had enough of your puns, Papyrus. Get out if you are not gonna order something.”

Papyrus: “Oy snotface, ye gonna order?

[YES    /    >NO]

Papyrus: “What the hell kid, we can’t stay here if you don’t order. No, I’m not here to spend my money. I just came for a chat.

*(...Seems like you don’t have much of an option but order. What would you have?) -Spider Cider 20G    -Spider Beer 50G

Muffet: “This is the only thing a kid like you can have. Here.”

*Muffet hands you a jug of Spider Cider, aggressively.

Muffet: “Hold on there, Papyrus. Everyone has to order to stay. Hurry up and get something.

Papyrus: Um…Unfortunately, missus, I haven’t got any money on me. How about you pay for me as well, kid?

*(......Seems like you must. What would you order?) - Spider Donut 50G  -Spider Beer 50G

Papyrus: “Eh, I’ll have beer.”

*(.........You order beer.)

(Muffet goes to the back storage to fetch beer.)

Papyrus: “By the way…You seem to get along awfully well with my brother. Doesn’t he bother you?”

[he doesn’t bother me     /      > I hate the guy]

Papyrus: “Of course you do. He’s noisy and troublesome, and it’s always me who has to go around and fix his mess. It gets really annoying, and most importantly, it costs money. But it’s true that he’s pretty darn strong.

Oh, here comes the booze. Hey boss, mind if I vape?”

Muffet: >:^(

Papyrus: “Alright, I won’t. Chill.

Anyways, Snotface. He might not look it, but Sans is pretty serious about the whole ‘becoming a Royal Guard’ thing. Once, he went up to the captain of the Royal Guard and yelled at her, threatening her to accept him as a member of the Royal Guard. Of course, he got rejected because it was 3 in the morning. But Sans just kept yelling from outside her house, and not letting her sleep for once. When she couldn’t handle it anymore, she came out the door and bluntly said that she would train him. And it’s uh, still work in progress.

Oh that’s right, I have something to ask. Have you ever heard of a talking flower?” Yes / > No

Papyrus: “Gee, kid. Is there anything you actually know ABOUT…? Whatever, I’ll tell you about it. The Echo Flowers. Those purple flowers are all over Waterfall. If you try to say something to it, it will hypnotise you and make you say all the filthy truth inside your mind, and the flower will repeat it endlessly even after you are gone. So, what about it? Well…Sans has told me something weird. He seemed very upset. He said he had been hearing someone whisper things to him. Concerns…Encouragements… Advices. And sometimes, the voice even tries to lecture him for his behaviour. Don’t you find that weird? A mere echo flower wouldn’t talk that way. I was wondering if you knew anything about it, but nevermind if you don’t.

Oh, looks like I’ve dragged on for too long.

Thanks for the drink, kiddo.”

[Waterfall]

(Behind the falling water,)

(there’s an echo flower.)

*(A distorted voice can be heard from the echo flower that has been stomped on by someone.)

“Un…..d….lo….” *(You can’t seem to understand it.)

*(There’s a scrap of paper on the floor. Will you take it?) >Take it       |     Leave it be

*(You’ve got Alphys’ Letter EX.)

Items->Check – “Alphys’ Letter EX” – Desperate clawmarks cover the letter. The envelope says it is directed to Dr. Undyne.

Items->Use – It’s been sealed very tightly. In fact, you might need a chainsaw to open it. You peek through a hole made by the clawmarks, and can see a letter ‘L’.

Items-> Drop – It’s too strong to be dropped.

[Waterfall Bushes – The Hiding Spot]

SANS: “HI, ALPHYS. YOU MUST HAVE HEARD ALREADY, BUT I GOT TO FIGHT A HUMAN. YOU KNOW, THE ONE I’VE TOLD YOU ABOUT OVER THE PHONE? WHAT, DID I LOSE? HECK NO DID I LOSE, I…I LET THEM GO ON PURPOSE! AND THEY PROMISED ME TO COME BACK. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WAS LIED TO?? THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE! BESIDES, YOU CAN ALWAYS CHECK WHERE THEY ARE ON THE CAMERAS! I’M GONNA CALL THEM AND PROVE IT. I’M GONNA PROVE THAT THEY DIDN’T LIE! WHAT?? YOU ARE GOING TOO KILL THEM YOURSELF? NO, ALPHYS! IF YOU DO THAT, I CAN’T PLAY WITH THEM ANYMORE!”

-Chara moves and makes a noise

!

(BOOM!) – Alphys jumps down and searches the tall bushes. She grabs someone up by their neck, but it’s just Asriel. She puts him down and jumps back up, disappearing into the dark.

Asriel: “Ah, that gave me the heebi jeebies! It’s all your fault I got busted. At least she’s just gone away. By the way, what the heck did you do to become their target? Oh, maybe it’s just because you are a human… But you still want to become a Royal Guard, right? It would be very tough for you, but good luck!”

*(Fear tries to overwhelm you, but you stay DETERMINED.)

*(There’s an abandoned plate of lasagne under the bench. Will you take it?) >Take it        |           Leave it be

*(You’ve obtained the Abandoned Lasagne.) -" Abandoned Lasagne " - Heals 34 HP A lame-looking lasagne made of tomato and eggplant.

Echo flower: *I wasn’t ready to take the responsibility.

*Ring Ring... SANS: “HELLO, HUMAN! THIS IS SANS. HOW DID I GET THIS NUMBER? WELL, WHAT DOES IT MATTER? ANYWAYS, I’M CALLING YOU RIGHT NOW TO CHECK WHERE YOU ARE. I’M GONNA GUESS, YOU ARE NEAR A TUNNEL, RIGHT?? WHAT, DIDN’T YOU HEAR ME WHEN I HAD TOLD YOU THAT I’M GONNA KEEP CALLING YOU? I KEEP MY WORDS, YOU KNOW? SO YOU ARE NEAR THAT TUNNEL? GOT IT, SEE YOU LATER VERY SOON!

*Click…

[The Wishing Room]

*(The walls are covered with depressing words.) ‘It’s all useless. There’s no way wishes can come true.’ ‘I’ve prayed countless times, but nothing’s been accomplished.’ ‘We have no hope, we have no dream….’ ‘There’s no hope in the Underground.’

Echo flowers: *Long ago, monsters used to whisper their wishes to the shining stars on the sky. But now, all we have is the glowing rocks on the ceiling... If our wishes could truly come true by praying to the stars, maybe we wouldn’t have been trapped down here. This proves that even the stars and the sky have abandoned us.

*There’s no way thousands of wishes would come true. Even the king has left us in despair.” *What’s the point of coming here, anyway? *Countless times I’ve prayed, and I still haven’t gotten the recognition I deserve. *Wouldn’t destroying the ceiling make us see the real stars?

[Through the cave near the Wishing Room]

*(Ancient engravings cover the wall. You can barely make them out.)

‘The War between Humans and Monsters’

*Why did the humans attack? They seem to have nothing to fear. Humans are far stronger than us monsters, given the power of their SOULs. *The SOUL power of a single human could match those of all the monsters underground combined. *However, humans have a weak point. Ironically, it’s the power of their own SOUL. With such power, Human SOULs can persist even outside their body. If a monster defeats a human, they can take their SOUL. A monster with a human SOUL... A horrible beast with unfathomable power.

*(An ancient picture of a strange creature is plastered to the wall. Seeing it makes you feel unsettled…)

[Alphys Encounter & the Chase]

Asriel: “Oh geez, it’s you again. Say, are you following me? It’s your fault if we get caught while sneaking on her again, you know. Alphys just gave me a mean look few minutes ago and I wouldn’t want to appeal to her as a troublemaker anymore than I already have because of you. Well, at least it’s nice that she’s starting to notice me more, but still.

Hey, don’t be so down. Maybe you can come again later to hang out. I bet I will be around here, like I always am.”

*(This cheese has been on this table for so long, a magical crystal has grown on it. It’s stuck to the table… Desperate claw-marks cover the surface of the crystal. )

Echo Flower: I’m sooooo huuungryyy… Is this crystal… edible?

*(You feel perplexed by seeing the claw-marks, but you stay determined.)

(The Telescope) Papyrus: “The underground is riddled with fools who are obsessed with meaningless garbage. So I started this telescope business. Wanna have a go? It’s 50000G to use this premium telescope. Oh wait, you’d probably know more about the real stars in the sky than I do, right? Okay then, I’ll let you use this telescope for free so you wouldn’t complain later and call me a scammer.

So, howzaboutit?”

>Use         |       Don’t Use

*(You see rows of shiny rocks through the telescope. It doesn’t strike as accurate to real stars you’ve seen on the surface.)

(The player character gets a blue circular mark on one eye)

Papyrus: “Oh what the heck, looks like the paint didn’t dry properly yet. Yeah, that’s right. I just painted those shiny rocks on the lens. I say it’s good enough to trick some fools with high hopes.”

*What’s a star? Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it? … Are you a star? … I really hoped you were.

Echo Flower: *(You hear a passing conversation.) *Well, don’t you have any wishes to make? *...Well, I do have one, but it’s kinda stupid.

The Phone: *Ring Ring… SANS: HELLO! IT’S ME, SANS. I CLEARLY REMEMBER YOU SAYING TO ME THAT YOU ARE NEAR A TUNNEL, BUT FOR SOME REASON I CAN’T SEE YOU ANYWHERE... YOU ARE ABSOULTELY, AND DEFINITELY GOING STRAIGHT FROM THERE, RIGHT?? OKAY, I WILL CALL YOU BACK LATER! *Click…

Echo Flower: *(You hear a passing conversation.) *No pressure if you don’t want to talk about it, but still… I’m kinda curious to know.

*(Human History continued) "The Power to Possess a Human SOUL.” “This is what the humans feared.”

[Shyren Spawn Area]

(Piano – No puzzle) *(...? It’s a battered old piano. Seems like someone practiced on it quite frequently.) *(Besides the piano, you see sheet music scattered around the corners of the room. The sheets are old, and filled with music scores illegibly. Some are torn.) *(‘Worl’... You can’t read the rest of the text because page has been torn apart on the corner.)

*There was no way for the humans to counter the power of a monster who has taken over a human SOUL, for it is impossible for humans to take a monster’s SOUL.

A monster’s SOUL immediately disappears upon death, and forcefully extracting the SOUL out of a live monster’s body would require incredible energy. *However, there’s an exception. The special kind of monsters called ‘Boss Monsters’ have enough SOUL power that can persist outside their body after death for a short time. Humans may be able to absorb the SOUL of Boss Monsters, but that has never happened. It hasn’t and will never be happening.

*(There’s what seems to be a stone statue. It seems incomplete.)

[The Umbrella]

*(The sign is broken.) *(The umbrellas are mostly ripped into pieces and bent. There’s only one umbrella that still works. Would you take the umbrella?) >Take it       |     Don’t Take it

Asriel: “Oh, how come you have a working umbrella? Well, I hope you don’t mind me using it!” (Asriel snatches away the umbrella from you. What an ass-riel.)

(*The rain from above splashes against your face.)

Asriel: “Y’know, I asked Alphys one more time to let me join the Royal Guard. And then, uh, got rejected again. But I think I’m almost there, I can definitely see that I’m making progress! Or at least I would be more qualified to be in the Royal Guard than a human like you.

So, as you may know, those purple Echo Flowers are made of magic. I’ve heard that those can be quite deadly to Monsters and not as effective to humans because of that. I saw my mother has a big garden of those Echo Flowers. I wonder why she has it?”

[The Castle View]

(Asriel starts to walk slower) (There are Echo Flowers around the map)

Asriel: “…Oh…Oh no, there are so many…Echo Flowers here, I swear there weren’t this many…the last time I was here… Hey, I’m gonna take a rest. If I don’t, I might…pass… ...

*(He has fallen asleep. You put the umbrella over his head.)

(You go over to the nearest umbrella station and pick up an old, broken umbrella.)

*(You’ve obtained a Broken Umbrella.)

*(This ledge is too steep to climb over, but you might find a way to climb it using your umbrella. Would you use the umbrella? >Yes             |            No

*(You climb over the ledge using the umbrella somehow, and left the umbrella below the ledge.)

*The Humans, fearful of our ability to absorb their SOUL, have announced a war against us. They attacked suddenly, and showed no mercy.

*( The sound of falling raindrops fills you with DETERMINATION.)

*As a result, the battle became something that can hardly be called a war. The Humans working together were far too strong, and us Monsters, too weak. Countless monsters turned to dust.

[The second Alphys Chase]

[The bridge is cut off, and the player falls down the garbage dump] I think I heard it from here... YO! You must be another kid Toriel has taken in. Are you alright? I thought I heard you crying… Oh, that wasn’t you? …Hey, what’s your name? Frisk?... That’s a nice name. Mine is…

*(This stream of water flowing down from the ceiling seems to be connected to the surface. Once in a while, pieces of garbage fall down from the gap, and disappear through the pit of darkness below. Seeing this endless cycle of garbage fills you with DETERMINATION)

*(You’ve found some junk food among the heap of garbage. This fills you with DETERMINATION.)

[Mad Dummy Fight]

*(Looks like a regular training dummy. Will you hit it?) >Yes       |       No *(You lightly kick the dummy.) *(Nothing happened.)

Mad Dummy: * “You! Unforgivable! How dare you just walk away after kicking me?! I am a ghost that lives inside the dummy. My cousin also used to live inside a dummy, until… YOU came along! The poor guy was scared off by the knife you were holding and disappeared! Horrible! Shocking! Unbelievable!! And they even told me that there’d be nothing to fear in the RUINS except for that one big monster.

HUMAN! I’ll take their revenge. I’ll…I… Oh, oh no, is that a knife?! Ha…hahah! It’s useless, physical attacks don’t work on me! Plus I, too, have a knife!!!!”

*(Mad Dummy throws their knife and misses.)

“(How…How could this be?! ) I’m…out of knife......................................

*(Mad Dummy disappears)

*  “Oh, what’s going on here???”

Hapstablook: * “I can’t concentrate on my practice. Tone it down, please! Oh! It’s you, darling. What have you been doing outside my house? Well, no matter. Just please keep it quiet so that I can concentrate on my practice. I will be going back in my house! …Uh, actually… Feel free to ‘chase’ me inside the house if you’d like to see me practice. Yes, perhaps you’d be a great distraction for me, but seeing me practice would be a once-in-a-lifetime chance that you wouldn’t want to miss! So I understand.

My house is up this way. Just making sure you know!”

*(This place is comfortingly quiet. You finally feel at peace and are filled with DETERMINATION.)

[Hapstablook’s House]

Hapstablook: “Oh?? I’ve never expected you to actually come all the way here… I…I mean, welcome, darling! I guess you really want to see me practice! Well, feel free to have a seat on the corner over there and watch me.”

*(It’s a diary. Would you read it? >Yes        | No

Hapstablook: “How rude! What do you think you are doing, that’s my super secret diary!”

*(Hapstablook is posing rhythmically with music blaring in the background…it seems?)

Hapstablook: “Darling, why don’t you join me and try posing, too? There’s no guarantee that I won’t be having any guest performers in my show, so it would be necessary to have a fine partner to practice with.”

*(You pose dramatically with Hapstablook. Hapstablook seems to be impresse.)

Hapstablook: “Not bad, darling! That was really… uh, do you hear that? Hold on, I will check the outside.”

(They exit the house)

*(Now that Hapstablook is outside, perhaps this might be the perfect time to read their diary. Will you do it?) >Yes  |  No

-1st Entry: Dear precious diary, Recently there have been very unfortunate rumours going around Waterfall. It saddens me. Some monsters have gone missing, and…Blooky won’t come out of his house or talk to me anymore. Sometimes he just disappears without any warning and does not come back for days. I’m afraid that he will never come to visit me or see me practice again.

-2nd Entry: Dearest diary, I enjoy buying new diaries for each entry I make. Writing down my thoughts, which I could never tell the others… It’s my element.

-3rd Entry Dear Darling Diary, My cousin left the house to fulfil their dream of becoming a training dummy. It’s just me and Blooky here now. I’ve noticed that Blooky is hanging out often with a certain monster at the garbage dump. And Blooky sounded so…excited to be with them? Perhaps, they would also leave the house like our cousin did, leaving me behind in this house, alone… You haven’t told me about it, Blooky, but I know that you’ve found a way to become corporeal. Everyone else but you, had been talking about it.

-4th Entry Dear lovely diary, Blooky told me something with a very enthusiastic voice today. It seems someone really enjoys listening to Blooky’s music. But, Blooky…I…I’ve heard that news from else before you’d told me about it. Did you just…uh…Were you just excited to tell everyone about it?

-5th Entry Diary…My love, You are all I’ve got left. Blooky probably won’t ever come back. It’s been so long since they left. I’m all alone, I’m tired I’m so tired I’m so tired I’m so tired

*(The pages have been ripped from this part and you can’t read them.)

-6th Entry To my dear diary... I’ve received a mail from Blooky after he’s been away for so long. They said sorry. It would have been better if they came here to visit me and tell me that. Why didn’t they? This…Anyone could have sent a simple mail like this. I didn’t reply. And a week has been passed since. And there’s no hope in achieving my dream.

[The Rabbit Shopkeeper]

“Welcome. We’ve got plenty of things to sell here, but nothing’s for penniless customers.”

[About You (The shopkeeper)] “Me? Well, there’s not much to say other than that I was one of the monsters to have fought in the War. Though, I wasn’t particularly championed as a great warrior, and my name is not known by many but my family and perhaps by one or two other monsters. I’m originally from Snowdin. It’s a very boring and depressing town, so I left there, alone. “

[The symbol] “What, you mean the Delta Rune? You don’t know what that is? You must be from the streets, since there’s no way you wouldn’t know if you’ve ever went to school. Delta Rune is a universal symbol that represents the kingdom of monsters as a whole.”

[The story behind Delta Rune] “Delta Rune’s an ancient symbol that has been passed down through generations, though its original meaning has been lost in time. From what I can remember, the triangles symbolise the monsters, and the winged circle above is supposed to be…something else. Many believe that it represents the angel from the prophecy. I think it’s kinda ridiculous, wouldn’t you agree?”

[The Prophecy] “According to the prophecy, an angel who has seen the surface world will come down below to free the monsters. But these days, everyone thinks that this so-called angel is actually the ‘Angel of Death and Destruction’. The mighty god who will ‘FREE US’ monsters from this world… Weird, huh? Why not just call it the ‘Devil’ instead of the ‘Angel’?

I also find it stupid to believe in such myth. If the angel really were to exist, good for me, but having high hopes in things you can’t even see or feel makes it harder for people to bear with the world, y’know?”

[The Queen]

“The Queen is merciless but an extremely collected person. You might run into her if you stayed at CORE. She seems to go past there a lot of the times. But, being a low-class citizen like you are, you will need to brace yourself and even risk your life if you truly are willing to meet her.”

[About Alphys] “Alphys? Oh yes, I’ve been around her since she was tiny. All she wanted was to become powerful enough to survive on her own. Now, with her determination and strength she’s become the captain of the Royal Guard. Actually…Alphys just came here to ask if I’d seen anyone that looks just like you. I would watch my back if I were you, kid. I might consider hiding you if you buy something from me, but until then…well…hahahah.”

(Echo flower Forest)

*(The air is full of the scent of Echo Flower, and it hurts your nose.)

[The War of Humans and Monsters Continued:] *Hurt, weak, and afraid of death, the monsters surrendered. The seven powerful magicians of the Human race forever sealed the monsters underground with their spell. Anything can get in through the barrier, but nothing can ever get out unless with a SOUL powerful enough to cross the barrier. The only way to break this spell… is to have a force that matches the SOUL power of seven Human SOULs attack the barrier. But that won’t happen. This cursed place will always be sealed away, for it is impossible for a human to find their way down here. We will be trapped down here forever.

[Flowey Town]

*Welcome to Flowey Town. *(Something feelS definitely… wrong. You are filled with DETERMINATION.)

*howdy! I’m Flowey. You must be new to the UNDERGROUND, aren’tya? *howdy! I’m Flowey. So, you are still alive and well, huh? *howdy! I’m Flowey. You must have gotten used to the UNDERGROUND, huh? *In thi world, it’s kill or be killed.

[Flowey Shop] *howdy! I’m Flowey. Flowey the flower! You are a human, right? Well, why not look around?

[Asriel and Alphys Encounter]

Echo Flower: “b e h i n d     y o u.”

==Alphys== Weapon: A double-sided axe on one hand, and a halberd on the other. A huge scar covers her whitened left eye. The tip of her nose(the snout?)has scars, and the right-side of her mouth has scars as well(NOT glasgow)

Alphys: "You must be the HUMAN.

Nice try getting away from me like a rodent…But now I’ve got you. You are NOT getting away so easily this time. Your SOUL will be delivered to the Queen, and with it, the barrier will break. This is the chance for your redemption.”

Asriel: “Alphys! This time, I will…uh……um…….I, I think I might have chosen the wrong time to—

(Got his ear pinched) O—Ouch!! Wait! You aren’t going to tell on me, right?!”

Echo Flower: No, No! It would be a disaster if I were found out!

[Echo Flower Conversation Continued] *(You hear a passing conversation.) *...Don’t laugh and I will tell you what my wish is.

*(You hear a passing conversation.) *Of course I won’t laugh.

*(You hear a passing conversation.) *One day, I would like to go on the surface world, and see the real sky, the real stars, and the real sun…

*(Silence.) *...It’s…uh, it’s a ridiculous dream, right?

*(You hear a short phrase.) *No. I promise that it will come true. I’ll help…because that’s my wish, too.

[Human History Continued:] *However…There is a prophecy. An Angel who has seen the surface world…will be back, and the underground will go empty.

[The Bridge]

Asriel: “Hey. I have to be going soon but let me ask you something before that. You… You aren’t actually trying to join the Royal Guard, right? I thought Alphys was chasing you away because she can’t accept a human as a Royal Guard. But I was wrong. I…I heard you are going after my mom, Queen Toriel. Are you trying to break the barrier?”

>Yes       |  No

“…So, Alphys was right, huh.”

Alphys: “My, my. It’s the prince again. I thought I’ve told you to stay away from this place”

Asriel: “…I, understand.”

(Asriel is off-stage.)

Alphys: “How pitiful. HUMAN. I’ve got you THIS TIME! I see you are making face as if you don’t deserve this fate. BUT, your kind has induced us more pain and suffering imaginable that we did not deserve. No time to explain any of this to you, for you’ll die soon. En garde!”

*(The wind is howling…You are filled with DETERMINATION.)

[Alphys Fight]

"..."

*Alphys attacks!

>Plead *You tell Alphys that you don’t want to fight, but she doesn’t even respond.

Alphys: “You can’t run now.”

(The ‘Battle Field’ is quite narrow, only giving you a little room to move.)

*Alphys licks her lips, as if she’d found a perfect prey.

>Mercy > Spare/(Escape button doesn’t show up.) Alphys: “Hahahahah! You, sparing me? Who do you think you are? What a joke.”

*Alphys stands, intimidating you.

>Mercy > Spare/(Escape button doesn’t show up.)

Alphys: “Well, maybe I can ‘spare’ you with my own method…by killing you and sparing your organs for a fine meal!”

*The rustic smell fills the air.

>ITEM >Use Alphys’ Letter EX

Alphys: “...You…what are you holding…”

*Alphys’ ATK dropped! Alphys: “DAMN IT! Stop blocking my attacks with the letter and hand that over, human!!”

*Alphys seems flustered and attacks suddenly.

Alphys: “You!!” (She tosses her halberd. With a loud ‘CRASH’, the player deflects it.)

(Translator’s note: I think the author forgot to mention about giving the player a shield or a weapon to deflect the attacks with.)

>Mercy Spare/>Escape

[You Escape] Alphys: “!!!” (Alphys’ uses her magic attack to block the player’s way, with the bullets flying over to the player like boomerangs, except they are double-sided axes.)

[Alphys Fight 2]

Alphys: “Stop, HUMAN!”

>ITEM >Use Alphys’ Letter EX

Alphys: “Screw you!! Give back the damned letter!

*Alphys grinds her teeth

ACT >Read Letter

*You attempt to read the letter, but it’s still sealed too strongly to open.

Alphys: “You are so dead.” *Alphys charges in again Alphys: “DAMN IT!” (She tosses her halberd. The player deflects it again.)

>Mercy Spare/ > Escape

[You Escape] Alphys: “!!!” (Alphys’ uses her magic attack to block the player’s way, with the bullets flying over to the player like boomerangs, except they are double-sided axes.)

[Alphys Fight 3]

Alphys: “So this is how you want to play it, huh? I don’t even care about the SOUL anymore, I’m gonna rip you into bloody shreds.”

*Alphys’ ATK increased! Alphys’ SPD increased!

ACT >Plead

Alphys: “It’s no use. You won’t get past so easily this time.”

*Alphys glares fiercely.

ACT >Read

*You read the name on the envelope of the letter. ‘FROM ALPHYS’

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Alphys attacks.

(The player deflects her halberd again.) >Mercy Spare/ > Escape

[Hotland]

(Papyrus is stoned at the sentry station.) (You hide behind Papyrus, under the sentry station.)

(Alphys runs past, and then comes back to the station to talk to Papyrus.)

Alphys: “Have you seen anyone coming down this way before me? Like, a human?”

Papyrus: “Nope.”

Alphys: “Useless piece of scum.” (Alphys goes back to the Waterfall area.)

Papyrus: “…………You can come out now.

So, how much?”

*(You hand over 100G to him.)

Papyrus: “Ah, thank you, dear customer! Gotten used to this place, huh? You know your stuff. You are welcomed anytime. I will be at your service for that sweet, sweet money. And I won’t ask you any questions or doubt you as long as you pay the right amount. Anyways, see you later.”

*Ring…Ring… Sans: “HEY HUMAN! WHAT DID YOU DO?! ALPHYS IS AWFULLY MAD! I HAVEN’T SEEN HER THIS MAD SINCE THE TIME I SHOUTED OUTSIDE HER HOUSE FOR A FULL WEEK STRAIGHT! NOW SHE WON’T LISTEN TO WHATEVER I HAVE TO SAY! COME AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!”

Alphys: “What, who are you talking to, Sans? Wait a second… Give that phone to me!

As I suspected!

Human! You damned rodent, stop hiding and come OVER HERE! We have a battle to set end to!”

*Click…

*(The silence of this place overwhelms you. Seeing a strange laboratory in a place like this, making low whirling mechanic noise fills you with DETERMAINATION.)

[Catty and Bratty]

Bratty: “You shall not pass.” Catty: “Not pass.”

Bratty: “Alphys, like, told us that there’s totally a human here? So, we have to block this path to the CORE.” Catty: “We have, like, no idea where they are? But like, we have to block this path to the CORE.”

Bratty: “We are gonna do our best!” Catty: “Our best, Alphys!”

Bratty: “So, like, there’s no way you will be going past here.” Catty: “No way you will be going past here.”

Bratty: “Since you seem desperate, here’s a little advice.” Catty: “Not much, but an advice.”

Bratty: “Through that laboratory, you’d be able to reach the CORE.” Catty: “But you will have to risk your life to do that.”

[In front of Alphys’ House]

Sans: “HUMAN! YOU REALLY HAVE COME! HURRY UP AND DO SOMETHING, I HAVE A SPLITTING HEADACHE BECAUSE OF THIS!”

Alphys: “So you’ve come, human. So, about that letter… Uh, Sans, didn’t you say you have something else to do today?”

Sans: “WHAT? NO? TODAY’S A TRAINING DAY!”

Alphys: “…I will help you with training for the entire week next week, so just call this a day, won’t you?”

Sans: “WOW, REALLY?! KEEP YOUR PROMISE! I WILL SEE YOU LATER, ALPHYS! AND HUMAN!”

Alphys: “...Okay. So. I’ll get to the point. Where. Is. The letter.”

*(You hand over the letter to her.)

Alphys: “…did you read it?”

*(What will you say?)

>I did Alphys: “What?! Wait…no…you are lying. Only I can open the envelope. What made you think it would be good to lie like that?”

>Did not Alphys: “Of course you didn’t. Only I can open the envelope. No way you’d have…”

Alphys: “...I would love to bite your neck off right now, but that would destroy your SOUL, so consider yourself lucky that I’m holding back. By the way, this letter…where did you find it? Or did someone give it to you?”

Yes  >No

Alphys: “So you’ve found it? Maybe from behind a waterfall?”

... >Yep

Alphys: “...Hmph. Well, it seems that nobody has read it, so I will let this slide.”

(You can move around freely and inspect the front yard of the house now)

(You attempt to run away)

-CRASH!-

Alphys: “Where are you running off to?! I’m not done talking!” *(A magical axe is piercing the floor right in front of where your foot is. One wrong move and it would have been a disaster.)

(inspect door) Alphys: “So you want to get inside my house? You have a death wish? Only I and some corpse are allowed in my house.”

(inspect Dummy) *(The Dummy is covered in a white sheet) Dummy: “You…Why are you here?! Don’t pull off my sheet, it’s a part of my identity!

(inspect the box on the right-side corner) *(It reeks of rustic smell. The box contains various types of weapons: a broken sword; an old axe; a broken spear; nunchucks snapped in half… Seems like they are all broken and useless.)

(inspect Alphys) Alphys: “...What, you’ve got something to say? If you ask something stupid I’m gonna kick you away.”

*(......You ask about who that letter is directed to.) Undyne          Toriel IDK LMAO       Human (You can select each character as the receiver of the letter, and hear everything unless you go straight to choose ‘Undyne’. The conversation about the letter will be over once you choose ‘Undyne’)

-Human Alphys: “Ha, you wish! Why would I ever write a letter to you? Well, if you need someone to write a will on your behalf, maybe I can do that.”

-IDK LMAOOOOOO Alphys: “Of course you are clueless. Otherwise you’d be dead.”

-Toriel Alphys: “...hmph, I get why you’d say that. Everyone writes letters to the Queen. To show their respect; to accuse her; to show their pure rage; or to use her for their own benefit…etcetera.

But I don’t have a reason to write to her. I can always just talk to her in person, for I am her faithful Royal Guard. Though, there had been this one time that I had to write a response letter to her when I was a mere prisoner.”

-Undyne Alphys: “...Did...did you actually read it…? HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!?? I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

*(You tell her that there’s a ‘To: Undyne’ written on the outside of the envelope.)

Alphys: “......” *(Alphys checks the envelope. Flustered, she throws it inside her house through the window.) Alphys: “If you. Ever. Talk about this to anyone…You’d be dead. Though you already don’t have much time left.”

(Awkward Silence)

Alphys: “...Oh, yes, about going to the Queen. I can take you to the castle. How about that? And before we go, I can treat you with a meal.”

*(????? ??? ?? ?? ?? ??? ? ??. Translator:???????)

[Alphys’s House]

Alphys: “Take a seat.”

*(The inside of the house smells of blood) *(But visually, it’s pretty clean inside)

Alphys: “I’ll cook you somethin’, so stay there. Speaking of cooking, I’ve seen the food humans eat on a book. It was fascinating.”

Alphys: “(talks with her back to the human) Has anyone told you this? I’m the one who’d taught Sans how to make a sandwich. He just kept begging me to teach him something, so I did. But still to this day, he can’t even make something as basic as a sandwich…I can’t understand how stacking up ingredients can be so difficult. His first-ever-sandwich wasn’t even close to being a food. Can you believe that? At least there has been some sort of improvement since back then.

As for why I’m not letting him in the Royal Guard…It’s simple. He’s just too reckless and I don’t have the mercy to clean up his mess.”

Oven: DING-

Alphys: “Seems like it’s done. Here. Careful, it’s hot. ... It’s not THAT HOT! Just Eat It!”

*(It’s a dish of deliciously cooked paella. It burns your tongue, but it’s still good.)

Alphys: “You like it, huh? I’ve spent so much time cutting and preparing meat, my cooking skill just naturally improved. …Don’t look at me like that! I used perfectly good meat that you can eat.

Speaking of meat, it’s pretty damn hard to get some in the underground. It was like that since I was little, and it just gradually got more difficult.

Cold, hungry, and the fear of assault…Nothing eases your mind in this cursed place. I had to get stronger for my own survival, and fight the despair. And one day, a job…no, there was an errand to run at the CORE, so I went.

Everyone at the CORE seemed to have been living in a luxury, unlike the folks from Snowdin or Waterfall. And then, I met the Queen, Toriel, there at the CORE. I’ve gotten so furious looking at her peaceful face. It wasn’t fair. My anger erupted all at once, and being young and unaware of the consequences, I attacked her. The result was...not good. She got her trident speared through my hands, and said: ‘Not bad. I’m impressed. Won’t you become my student?’ She was cold as ice, and showed no emotion. That’s how she was the whole time. Anyways, from then, I lived in the same luxurious life of a higher-class, although I had to be a prisoner for a while. Now I’m the leader of the Royal Guard, and, my life is pretty much set. But being too long at the castle kinda bored me, so I came down to Waterfall. It’s not a good place to live, but still I did.

Oh, we’ve been talking for so long. Would you like a drink?

Hey, you seem dizzy. Is something wrong?

Good.

Just like that,

Stay down.

(You fall unconscious…)
