INTERLUDE 1

"💧︎☜︎👍︎⚐︎☠︎👎︎ ❄︎☟︎⚐︎🕆︎☝︎☟︎❄︎💧︎"

"..."

"You're quiet. What's wrong?"

"APOLOGIES, I SUPPOSE I'M STILL IN A STATE OF SHOCK. I EXPECTED THE SOUL TO LOSE ITS CONTROL OVER THIS TIMELINE, AND YET IT STILL HAS THE ABILITY TO SAVE."

"I still dunno what you mean by that."

"WHEN THE WORLD HAD SPLIT, I FELT THE SOUL LOSING ITS GRIP ON ME."

"So??? Doesn't mean that it could lose its grip on the timeline."

"WE BOTH KNOW WHAT POWER THE ANOMALY HAS ON THE WORLD. NOTHING SHOULD BE ABLE TO ESCAPE ITS GRASP."

"Well, we ARE a special case. Our existence was split across time and space. Theoretically, it would've been impossible for the anomaly to have complete control over us. But then again, your world was splitting, so you could've felt all sorts of feelings."

"THIS STILL SEEMS SUSPICIOUS. WE HAVE TO FIX THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC OCCURS."

"Well, the only way for us to progress is for Allison to start heading out of this forest. And if your assumptions are correct, she will be heading out no matter what."

"...DID YOU FEEL IT?"

"Huh? Feel what?"

"WHEN MY WORLD CRUMBLED?"

"..."

"I haven't felt anything these last few years."

CHAPTER 1 ACT III

"Skeletons, Puzzles, and Time powers"

The trio continued walking through the forest, encountering, the strange variety of monsters.

PAPYRUS: STRANGE, NO ONE HERE APPEARS TO BE PREPARING FOR GIFTUMN!

Allison: Giftumn?

sans: yeah its an annual thing we do at the harvest village. what, humans don't have that? man ya'll are missing out.

PAPYRUS: INDEED BROTHER! GIFTUMN IS THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR! WHERE MONSTERS GATHER AROUND, PREPARING FOOD FOR A GREAT POTLUCK! OH SANS, REMEMBER OUR FIRST GIFTUMN? WE WERE ARGUEING OVER WETHER WE SHOULD BRING HOT DOGS OR LASAGNA! SO OF COURSE WE DECIDED TO DO BOTH...

While papyrus was rambling, dings popped out of the ground amidst the crowd of monsters.

Dings: Psst, kid, over here.

Allison: Oh hey dings. Why are y-

Dings: SSSHHHHHH. Quite down, why do you think I'm whispering?!

Allison: Jeez, sorry.

Dings: Take a look at this!

Dings pointed to a mysterious glowing object. Allison felt an unusual but familiar presence from it.

Allison: What...Is that thing?

Dings: Have you ever played a video game before?

Allison: Yeah?

Dings: Well, this star acts as a sort of save point. You touch it, and boom. Whenever you're in danger, you can always reset back to your previous save point! They're littered all over the underground. Only YOU can see them, so you have to keep them a secret.

Allison: ...Uh huh. Sure.

Dings: I'M SERIOUS. Look just- touch it.

Allison: ...Whatever you say Mr flower man.

Dings: Call me that again and your soul is being split in half.

Allison: Shiver me timbers.

Dings: Grrrr...

Dings was frustrated by his inferiority

Dings: NO ONE ASKED.

Lol. Anyways, Allison proceeds to touch the save point.

(This save point provides you with a sense of unease yet comfort for the rest of your journey. You're filled with DETERMINATION.)

Allison: Determination...

Dings: Looks like skyscraper over there is almost done yapping. See ya on the flipside kid!

Dings goes back into the ground.

Allison: That is one weird and grumpy flower.

PAPYRUS: AND THAT'S WHY THE CITIZENS WONT LET ME COOK ALFREDO AGAIN.

Allison: Wow! That is...quite the story papyrus!

PAPYRUS: WHY THANK YOU DEAR HUMAN...SAY I NEVER GOT YOUR NAME.

Allison: Oh, it's Allison. Allison M-

sans: zzzzzzzzzz...

Allison: Oh-I forget sans was here. How long has he been asleep?

PAPYRUS: WHO KNOWS, NORMALLY I'D THROW HIM AT THE NEAREST LEAF PILE TO WAKE HIM UP, BUT SEEING HOW HE HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF THE FOREST AND VILLAGE...I THINK HE DESERVES IT.

Allison: Awwww that's cu-....uhhhhhh

The trio arrive at a strangle puzzle. It had three basketball hoops and a single bone lying at the centre of the room.

PAPYRUS: NYEHEHEH! ALLISON, WE'VE ARRIVED AT THE FIRST OF THE MANY GLORIOUS PUZZLES YOURS TRULY HAS SET UP!

Allison: There's more of these?!

PAPYRUS: I KNOW! ISNT IT EXCTING!!!

sans: oh we're here now.

PAPYRUS: OH HEY SANS.

Allison: So what am I supposed to do here? Throw the bone at one of the hoops?

PAPYRUS: PRECISELY! GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT!

Allison: Alright! I'll just grab the-

Allison: ...bone.

I feel like it's too early for that dog to show up.

PAPYRUS: ...LET THIS BE A LESSON AB

OUT WHY ROCKS ARE SUPERIOR THAN DOGS ALLISON.

Allison: That pet rock thing wasn't a joke??

sans: welcome to the underground kid.

PAPYRUS: NEVERMIND, HANG ON-

Papyurs puts down sans and reaches for one of his basketball shoulder pads.

PAPYRUS: HERE! USE THIS INSTEAD.

Allison: Well, at least it will be serving its actual purpose.

Allison shoots...AND SHE SCOOOOORES WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PAPYRUS: NOT BAD HUMAN! YOUR REWARD SHALL BE EVEN MORE PUZZLES!!

Allison: ...wait what stopped us from just skipping this pu-

sans: don't question it.

PAPYRUS: THIS NEXT PUZZLE IS A LITTLE TRICKY! SO IT'S FINE IF YOU CAN'T...

The room is filled with random sheets of paper.

sans: oh yeah remember when I said this morning I spilled ketchup on the printer and it printed a bunch of sheets?

PAPYRUS: YOU NEVER MENTIONED THAT AT ALL!!!

sans: yeah exactly

PAPYRUS: (SIGH) WELL I SUPPOSE WE CAN SKIP THIS ONE. I FELT LIKE IT WAS TOO CHALLENGING ANYWAY.

Allison: What was it anyways?

PAPYRUS: JUNIOR JUMBLE!

sans: I still think crosswords are harder.

PAPYRUS: SANS WE ARE NOT HAVING THIS ARGUMENT AGAIN!!!

sans: hey I just speak the truth.

PAPYRUS: AND LOWERCASE!!!

Allison: Idk I think junior jumble is harder.

PAPYRUS: NYAHAHA! TAKE THAT BROTHER!

sans: oh well.

Allison: Psst, I think crosswords are much harder but I was just being nice.

sans: yeah thanks for that. yesterday he tried solving the horoscope.

Allison: I see.

PAPYRUS: ALRIGHT, NEXT PUZZLE! THIS ONE SHOULD BE EASY!

It's a bone maze...that's it. A maze made of bones.

Allison: I'm gonna ignore the fact that this maze is made of out bones.

PAPYRUS: OUR BUDGET IN THIS FOREST IS...LIMITED.

sans: we have a budget?

Allison: Well, better start walkin-

sans: hold it there kiddo.

PAPYRUS: WHAT IS THE MATTER SANS?

sans: why don't we make it more interesting? here.

sans gives Allison a snowball. Where did he get a snowball from???

Allison: Uhhh...

sans: ya gotta make it to the end of the maze before the snowball completely melts. shouldn't be a problem.

Allison: Sure...yeah...lovely.

This went on. For 5. Whole. Hours.

Allison: (HUFF) (PUFF) I DID IT! JESUS CHRIST AND HOLY MARY I DID IT!

PAPYRUS: WONDERFUL HUMAN! AND IT ONLY TOOK YOU FIVE HOURS, 36 MINUTES, AND 7 SECONDS!

sans: I'm surprised you managed to do it.

PAPYRUS: I'M SURPRISED YOU STAYED AWAKE THE WHOLE TIME!

Allison: How many puzzles are...(huff)...left?

PAPYRUS: ONLY ONE! COME INTO THE NEXT ROOM WHEN YOU'RE READY!

sans: by the way here.

Sans hands Allison some cinnamon buns and hotdogs.

Allison: Oh thanks! I was starting to get hungry.

sans: those actually heal your hp ya know?

Allison: Really?

sans: yeah. It'll be useful for combat.

Allison: Huh...(Oh, a savepoint!)

(The curiosity of what the last puzzles will be fills you with DETERMINATION.)

Allison: Ummm...Papyrus? Where's the puzzle?

PAPYRUS: NYEHEHEH...I'M AFRAID YOU'VE BEEN JAPED ALLISON! FOR YOU SEE, YOUR SKILLS IN PUZZLES WERE IMPRESS. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR SKILLS IN COMBAT!

Allison: W-what are you saying...

PAPYRUS: HUMAN! I CHALLENGE YOU, TO A TRAINING DUEL!

Allison: Oh dear lord.

sans: good luck.

CHAPTER 1 ACT II

"Strolling through the Serene forest"

sans: sup, I'm sans. sans the skeleton.

A short skeleton entered the room, wearing a purple bathrobe...nice.

Allison: ...Y'know, I think I hit my head too hard from the fall.

sans: yeah I get that alot. anyways, you're a human aren't ya? weird. could've sworn I've heard other people here.

Allison: Yeah, there was Wings and Dings.

sans: you mean the font?

Allison: What?

sans: well anyways, I'm the caretaker for the serene forest. you look like you could use a hand. follow me, I know a great place you can stay.

Allison: Well, I have no where else to go so, lead the way bone man.

Allison and sans start walking through a forest, flooded with autumnal leaves and small monsters of many kinds.

Allison: Woah...those are a lot of monsters.

sans: don't worry, the monsters here wouldn't hurt a fly. at least most of them.

Allison: a-and the not most of them?

sans: well, basically...

sans: us monsters are trapped down here cause the big giant barrier called...the barrier. and unfortunately for you, the only way to break said barrier is with the power of seven human souls. our "king" has collected six over the centuries.

Allison: a-and...I'm the last one...

sans: eh, don't think too much about it.

???: SAAAAAAAAAAANS!!!

Allison: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

sans: huh. knew I was forgetting something.

A tall skeleton came marching forward to sans. He wore a dark grey shirt saying "GHOUL DUDE". He had basketballs for shoulder pads with spikes on them, and one of them was deflated. He had a tear tattoo below his right eye and was wearing a top hat. All that AND a cape. Truly a magnificent sight to behold.

PAPYRYS: SANS! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! I TOLD YOU THAT I NEEDED HELP WITH MY COS...IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?!

Allison: Uhhhh...

PAPYRUS: SANS!! DID YOU LEAVE OUR PET ROCK OUTSIDE AGAIN?!

sans: woops. ma bad. by the way, what's that next to the rock?

Allison: (Bruh what the hell)

PAPYRUS: (GASP) SANS IS THAT A HUMAN?!

sans: yep.

PAPYRUS: OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS! WE HAVEN'T SEEN A HUMAN IN A WHILE! BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T EXCUSE YOU FROM NOT HELPING ME OUT WITH MY COSTUME!

sans: y'know I have to check if the forest is doing well bro.

PAPYURS: HM. I SHALL ALLOW IT THIS TIME. AND NOW TO THE MORE IMPORTANT MATTER,

HUMAN!!!

Allison: OH JEEZ YES HI

PAPYRUS: I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, SHALL SHOW YOU THE ROPES! ALONG OF COURSE WITH MY HELPFUL BROTHER!

sans: zzzzzz...oh what? yeah sure.

Allison: Oh umm, sure that'd be helpful.

PAPYRUS: THEN LET US NOT DILLYDALLY!

Papyurs picks up sans

PAPYURS: ONWARD TO THE FIRST OF MANY PUZZLES!

Allison: Right behind you! (Man, monsters are weird. But eh, he seems fun.)

Chapter 1: ACT I

"Her fall"

Allison: ...?

Allison had just woken up. She found herself on a pile of orange and yellow leaves. They were weak and did a pretty bad job at breaking her fall.

Allison: ...Wait...I fell, didn't I? Jeez, how am I alive? (Sigh), Why did I think exploring a cave on a tall mountain would be a good idea?

She got up, still in slight pain from the fall. She brushed off the leaved off her clothes and started looking around.

Allison: HELLO? ANYONE THERE?...Ugh, of course not. Who would be in down here anywa-

Suddenly, she heard garbage noises bear her.

Allison: ...That's not foreboding at all. Well, not like I have anywhere else to go

She went into the next room, there in the centred was a strange man dressed in black.

Allison: Uhhh...Hey.

The man turned his face to Allison...or lack thereof. His face was completely blank, with only a single horn on one side of his face and a strange beard to distinguish him. Allison felt like she was dreaming...or more accurately, having a nightmare.

Allison: OH GOD. Are...you ok? Who are you?

???: MY NAME? IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE HAD A NAME...HM...CALL ME WINGS.

Allison: Hey wings...so, this is the infamous mount ebott huh?

Wings: INDEED. IT'S FLOODING WITH MONSTERS BOTH KIND AND CRUEL.

Allison: Wait- MONSTERS?!

Wings: HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF THE RUMOURS CHILD? THE GREAT HUMAN AND MONSTER WAR? HOW HUMANS TRAPPED MONSTERS IN THE UNDERGROUND?

Allison: ...nope.

???: WOW! You must be more STUPID than I thought!

Suddenly, a new voice spoke. A high-pitched raspy voice.

???: HEY! WATCH IT NARRATOR!

Allison: W-WHO WAS THAT?!

Wings: I TRULY APOLOGISE. MY FRIEND HERE APPEARS TO HAVE FORGOT HIS MANNERS!

A grey flower suddenly appeared on Wings' hand.

???: I'm sorry, but if she doesn't know basics monster history 101, then she ain't gonna survive a day here Wings.

Allison: ...cute flower!

Dings: ...Ahem, anyways, call me Dings. I'm Wings' best friend. You're new here, so we gotta teach you the ropes. What do ya say Wings?

Wings: AN EXCELLENT IDEA DINGS! CONSIDER THIS HUMAN, A TUTORIAL IN COMBAT!

Allison: The name's Allison by the way.

Dings: Yeah yeah, Now.

❤️

[BATTLE MODE INITIATED]

Allison: Woah, this is...cool!

Dings: Now, see that shiny read heart over there?

Wings: THAT IS YOUR SOUL, THE VERY CULMINATION OF YOUR BEING. A HUMAN SOUL IS A POWERFUL TOOL TO A MONSTER, SO A HANDFUL OF UNFRIENDLY FOES WILL ATTEMPT TO SNATCH IT FOR THEMSELVES!

Allison: ...lovely.

Dings: Don't worry, all you gotta do is not get hit by the bullets.

Allison: What bu-

Dings: THINK FAST

A wave of pellets rapidly target Allison's soul.

Allison: OH SH-

Allison barely dodges.

Dings: BAHAHAHAHAHA. OH, THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE!

Wings: DINGS! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO AID HER, NOT SHATTER HER SOUL!

Dings: Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Good reflexes though kid!

Allison: YA DON'T SAY....hey what's "LV"

Wings: I'M GLAD YOU ASKED! LV STANDS FO-

Dings: You'll figure it out later.

Wings: ...

Dings: What? Nobody wants to hear you nerd out Wings.

Allison: So...is there anything else I should know?

Dings: Uhhhh...

Small footsteps can be heard approaching the room.

Dings: Oop- That's our cue.

Wings: WE SHALL MEET AGAIN SOON, DEAR ALLISON. BEST OF LUCK!

The duo dissappear into the shadows.

Allison: WAIT-...Welp.

???: huh. I thought I heard 3 humans. must be hearin things.

A short skeleton wearing a purple bathrobe entered the room.

sans: sup

Prologue

SOMETHING FOUND ME.

SOMETHING SOMEHOW FOUND ME.

MY BODY WAS SHATTERED ACROSS SPACE.

MY SOUL WAS SHATTERED ACROSS TIME.

AND SOMEHOW...SOMETHING FOUND ME.

IT LOOKED HUMAN.

AND ITS SOUL...

IT RESONATED WITH POWER.

OF COURSE..."DETERMINATION"

IT DID...SOMETHING.

I AM UNSURE WHAT IT DID.

BUT SUDDENLY, I FELT THE WORLD SPLITTING IN HALF.

HA...HA...I REMEMBER THIS FEELING.

THE DAY I FELL INTO THE CORE, I FELT MY EXISTENCE BEING RIPPED APART.

AND NOW, THE WORLD WAS TOO.

I'M...ALIVE.

BUT NOW THERE'S TWO OF US, STITCHED TOGETHER INTO ONE ENTITY.

MONSTER AND FLOWER.

AND SO IS THE WORLD.

ALL THE PIECES REARRANGED TO CREATE A NEW PUZZLE.

A NEW TALE.

AND NOW, A NEW HUMAN FALLS INTO THE UNDERGROUND...

...

HER NAME...

HER NAME IS...

"Allison"
