Chapter Text
"Thank you for playing! Your input was extremely valuable."
"Oh, hey, since my game was so awful why don't we play someone else's, just to ease the pain?"
"Let's see, what do we have here?"
"[Humming]"
"Yes, this seems like it'll work. Let's give it a shot."
NEVERTHEENDISNEVERTHEENDISNEVERTHEENDISLOADINGNEV-
"Aha here we are! Now as I'd like to inform you, that this time, I did some research beforehand and would like to inform you that this is infact not an open world game, therefore it should be relatively difficult for us to get lost."
"Now then, looking around, I must say, this place is a bit dark, though the flowers seem to be doing just fine, though they do look like someone just fell on them. However we shall not waste any more time, let's get up and go through the arch over there, Stanley."
' X '
"Stanley, please. I know the flowers are very beautiful, but you have to move on, there's nothing to do here. And besides, I'm sure you are aching to know what this game's story hold for us, I know I am."
"Alright let's see what's up ahead!"
"Oh! A flower with a face, hello."
"Stanley, I must inform you that this time, I actually managed to keep the characters of the game present, so I hope you still have some social skills and don't make a fool of yourself"
[Flowey] *Howdy! I'm Flowey. Flowey the flower!
"Nice to meet you"
[Flowey] *Hmm
[Flowey] *You're new to the underground, aren'tcha
"Indeed we are!"
[Flowey] *Golly, you must be so confused.
[Flowey] *Someone aught to teach you how things work around here!
"Oh! Are you a tutorial character?"
[Flowey] *I guess little old me will have to do.
"I guess so"
[Flowey] *Ready? Here we go!
[!]
"Whoa! A battle! Are you ready Stanley? Your first fight ever!"
[Flowey] *See that heart? That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being!
[Flowey] *Your SOUL starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV.
"Stanley, I'm gonna be honest. I never really liked leveling up in games. Because sometimes it just leads to the repetitive motion of grinding due to poor game design, I'm just gonna keep my hopes up that this one won't have this issue"
[Flowey] *What's LV stand for? Why LOVE of course!
"Ooo? I thought it stood for Level, this is getting very, very interesting."
[Flowey] *You want some LOVE, don't you?
"I must say, this song is really catchy."
[Flowey] *Don't worry, I'll share some with you!
"[Humming]"
[Flowey] *Down here, LOVE is shared through... Little white... "Friendliness pellets"
' ! '
[Flowey] *Are you ready?
' X '
[Flowey] *Move around! Get as many as you can!
"Stanley, why are you trying to-"
[-19]
[Flowey] *You idiot.
"What!?"
[Flowey] *In this world, it's kill or BE killed.
"Stanley, I'm resetting, you can't last long here and I promised-!"
[Flowey] *Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this!?
"I- Oh dear- NO!"
[Flowey] *Die.
"STANLEY!"
' ! '
[Flowey] [!]
"Wh- What just happened?"
[?] *What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth...
"Who is that? Should we trust her, or not? I mean, she did save us, but what if she has an ulterior motive. We cannot be certain anymore"
[?] *Ah, do not be afraid, my child.
"Her... child...? To be fair, Stanley, you often act like a petulant child, but she cannot just adopt you like that. You are an adult!"
' (^^) '
[Toriel] *I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins
"That sounds a bit more like the word tutorial, is she actually the tutorial character?"
[Toriel] *I pass through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down.
"I guess that explains why the flowers look the way they do"
[Toriel] *You are the first human to come here in a long time.
[Toriel] *Come! I will guide you through the catacombs.
"Catacombs? Well either way, Stanley, I may have run into a small issue and can no longer reset. I don't know why, but I just can't."
' !? '
"I know, scary. And considering what just happened, the best course of action would be for me to stay on guard and for you to actually listen to me for once"
' ... '
"Don't give me that look Stanley, you and I both would rather make it out of this alive. Anyway, unless you are particularly keen on dying of thirst, I'd recommend we move forward, if only to find something to sustain you with."
' ? '
"Myself? Oh don't be silly Stanley, I'm not in any danger. I don't need to eat or drink anything, so don't worry about me, worry about yourself"
' ( ˘ ³˘) '
"Thank you, Stanley. Now let's go!"
