A Theatre of Fellow Souls

Summary:

After Asriel left for College, Toriel announced to Kris that they are moving to the city. Soon after moving, Kris meets the head of the local theatre, who takes them in to the world of production. Kris takes notice that these other humans seem to have magic at their fingertips, and has to navigate through this new chaos they're seeing, and hopefully not destroy the studio while they're at it.

Notes:

This is from the POV of Kris.

Chapter 1: Welcome to the City!

Chapter Text

The city was loud. Too noisy for me, someone who has been so used to the quiet of Hometown. There's so many humans here too.

After Asriel left for college, mom dropped the bomb that we were moving. MOVING! So now, just a few weeks later, I'm in a noisy, crazy, annoying city.

A car whizzes by, almost hitting me. I flip them off as they pass. Unfortunately, they noticed. The car stops. I decide maybe I should go in a store or something.

I run into the nearest building. I pass the check in, very stealthily. Seats line the walls of what looks like some kind of auditorium? Long, silky red curtains hung from ceiling of the stage, like a sort of waterfall.

As I walked, faint music came from a room. A small whiteboard on the door read 'Rehearsal Room: in use.'

I cracked the door open, feeling the cold wood beneath my fingers. Inside, someone was playing piano. His hair was a light brown, with grey streaks along the sides. Square glasses sat on his face. His suit was a deep red, slightly orange and muddy, with yellow tie. 

What was he playing? It sounded bright and cheerful, yet I couldn't help but feel saddened. It felt wrong.

Footsteps came from the down the halls. Shit. I had no choice but to swing the door open and get inside.
