It's been eons since I've used Tumblr, bear with me.

So yeah, this whole thing came to me in a dream. If anything in a dream is somewhat off, comes off weird, or is disturbing, I can usually pinpoint what it is that made my subconscious conjure it up, but sometimes I have dreams like this where I have no clue what causes it. I haven't particularly played DR in awhile, or anything that's like the imagery on here. I tried to recreate it to the best of my abilities, this style isn't one I'm used to working with, but I needed something else to draw from my other stuff, and this was enjoyable for me. The story was vague but I'll fill in the blocks and tighten it a bit more.

This starts with Kris and Noelle hanging out together, with Noelle eventually prying it out of Kris the existence of the dark world. She's not too shocked by it, but asks if the two of them can look for Dess in there. Kris begrudgingly agrees, and later, they meet up again behind the police station, where the back door now leads to another Dark Fountain.

Inside isn't as interesting as the last two, it's mostly just some kind of industrial complex lined with metal and with machines everywhere. After a bit of wandering, they reach what they think is the top floor, with nowhere else to go. They start backtracking, but realize the order of all the floors is now different. They can now hear the sounds of machines running. They try to get out as fast as possible, and arrive at a room they've never seen before. Kris realizes Noelle never walked through the door behind him, and it now leads to a black room of nothingness. Kris can still hear Noelle's voice, as can she hear Kris, so they try to lead her to the same room, by listening to her voice getting louder and quieter. Eventually the voice is audibly loud enough that it could be in the next room, when the giant shredding machine across from Kris kicks on. It's unnerving to them, unsure of what to do. They can tell Noelle is really scared at this point, and between one or the other, they tell her to try going into the next room. It's quiet for awhile, before there's a crashing noise and Noelle falls through the roof. Kris catches a glimpse of the accident before turning their head away, some disturbing grinding is followed by a small boom, with the machine turning off, he looks back and only sees her antlers sticking from the top of the machine's entry.

Kris runs into the door they came in from, before realizing they're in some old barn. It clicks that they're now in the Light World, late in the night. Kris goes back through the door, the shredder now sitting in the barn, probably for some meat processing. Under the machine is a tarp with a pile they can't make out, but knows what it is from the smell of blood. They wrap it up, throw it in a wheel barrel, and hightail it to Ice-e's Pezza, eventually breaking in through the back and storing the bagged tarp in the back of their freezer, before running back home in tears.

After a week and the whole town, along with Susie and Ralsel, turned upside down and investigating where Noelle went, Kris finds out in the dark world of a scientist that can fix Noelle and bring her back. They venture alone into another dark fountain underneath the water by the beach. I haven't thought of what this world looks like just yet. Eventually Kris meets with the scientist, who has a machine that can bring back any dead Lightner into the Dark World. As the scientist turns on the machine and it begins making a loud noise, they tell Kris that the only way it will truly work is with a human Soul. Catching them off guard, they stab Kris, attempting to steal his Heart. Kris throws them off into the machine, now making more noises. After a short fight, neither of the two winning more over the other, the machine unexpectedly explodes, sending Kris into a wall. When they come to, they see the burnt remains of the machine, and what very small and charred remains of the scientist remain. They leave the Dark World, defeated.

Emerging from the water, Kris sees the sun setting soon, and police sirens blaring near the town. They creep through and see the cops surrounding Icee-s Pezzaria. Horrified, Kris runs straight to home, Toriel nowhere to be seen. They realize they're still wearing their armor from the Dark World, and before they can question it, hear Toriel pulling up. Kris runs up to his room, quickly throwing all the armor off, wrapping their stab would more tightly, and getting into bed, pretending to sleep. The next morning, Toriel asks if Kris heard the news. They say no, to which Toriel explains they 'may have found out' where Noelle went. Kris is so worked up and panicked by this, that Toriel mistakes it for a fever, and has Kris stay in bed for the next week. Kris thinks that works out for their stab wound, but is left to think alone in their room about what they did and what they should do next. They eventually get a phone call from school. It's Susie. Her and Ralsei are worried about Kris, and they ask if they want to sneak them through to the Dark World for awhile. Kris declines, saying they don't feel so good before hanging up. This doesn't stop Susie from calling Kris throughout the week, growing more and more concerned with Kris' behavior.

A week goes by, Kris feeling better, but fearful of being sent back to school the next day. That night before dinner, the police come knocking at the door. It's Undyne, asking if Kris was home. Toriel, who just got back from the school, is unsure but assumes they are. After checking, she tells Undyne that Kris actually isn't here, and has no idea where they went or why, given they still might be sick and with how heavy the rain is.

As it turns out, Kris was home, but saw the cops pulling up to the house. They escaped through the window, running into the town but realizing there's cops more spread out throughout, with flashlights searchlights all over. Kris somehow sneaks by through to the cemetery. There they see Susie, immediately asking Kris where they've been this past week, and why they never tried calling the school to talk to her. She says she went into the Dark World behind the police station, but she only found one room. The room was described as the same one with the shredder, but it was empty, aside from the floor covered in dried up blood. Susie then tells Kris that Ralsei knew of someone that could help find Noelle by the beach, but they never found him. Only another empty room with some remains of an unknown person. Eventually, Kris breaks down, hugging Susie and telling her everything, which leads into the dialog above.

I had fun throwing this together, and might go back into it and add more as I have the time to. The dialog was a bit difficult to edit but I had fun with the character portraits and messing around with some faces that fit the text. All the resources came from spriters-resource, aside from some of the backgrounds in the first panel. All the dialog was rendered with demirramon's Undertale text box generator. I should note the portraits for Kris are credited to EllisSis. I made a few custom ones using them as a base, and I'd like to give directions to their stuff, but I actually couldn't find anything of them. If anyone knows of EllisSis' blog/renamed blog, or any other socials, please message me.

I did put together a song for this, it's a cover of Traumatic Recollection from the Snowgrave route, but with a different instrumentation and embellished with a pinch more stuff. LMK what you think of it, I might do more sometime. Sorry for the wall of text.

Noelle was having a bad day. She definitely had a cold, but her mother wouldn't let her stay home sick; and both Susie and Kris had called in sick so she had no one to talk to ... besides Berdly. During class he talked over her, and it was now lunchtime and she was tired of him.

He was droning on about a kill he'd gotten in Pubnite, and she just wanted to be anywhere else.

Anywhere else.

She had found Kris and Susie ... about to make out? Noelle wasn't entirely sure what they were up to, but considering they had been out all day the previous day she wanted to investigate that closet.

She stood up

"I'm going to the bathroom. Please take notes for me?"

"Anything for you," Berdly said.

Berdly really needed a reality check. Or twelve.

Noelle went to the supply closet.

She opened it, only to find an open void.

She tripped.

The fall didn't feel like a normal fall. She had fallen out of a tree more than once whilst playing with Kris, and this felt much ... slower ... longer. She landed on her face, somehow injuring only her dignity.

She stood up and rubbed her eyes. This couldn't be real. She must be on something, like maybe marker alcohol? She was far too lucid for that, though. The world in front of her was a small town nestled in a forested valley. It was dark; maybe nighttime? But the town was busy; monsters of all shapes moving from place to place. And beyond the town was a large castle with a pillar of even deeper darkness past it.

She walked into town, hoping to find someone she could talk to. Some way home, no matter how much she wanted to collapse of fatigue.

She tapped the -- was it a shoulder? -- of a passing pawn.

"Hi. Where do you think I could go for directions back home?"

"Well, lightner, the Prince would be your best resource for this. Go to the castle."

And so she did, wondering whatever a lightner might be -- she only knew herself to be a boss monster, afterall.

The castle apeared to be backlit; though from what, Noelle didn't know. She walked into the entrance courtyard, but there were still no guards to be seen. As she knocked though, the fatigue started to get to her. A white furred monster called for help as she fainted.

As she came to, she heard the muttering of the monster who'd called for help.

"They're sick ... gonna hafta keep them here until they get better. Fuck, Ralsei. Do you know how to help a sick lightner?"

She tryed to, and failed, to sit up.

"Don't do that, please. What's your name? Pronouns?"

"Noelle. She/her." Talking hurt so much. She coughed a storm as soon as she stopped.

"Mine's Ralsei. He/him," he said. "Your throat sounds ter... There's water on the side table, though I guess you might need help."

He picked up the cup, and brought it to her lips.

"Sorry about the lack of a straw, couldn't find one when I grabbed this."

"It's okay."

Ralsei, now that she had a better chance to look at him, was cute. A thought of which, if she were more lucid, would've brought her to contemplate her sexuality. He wore a simple green dress over a black sweater, with a pink scarf and matching green glasses.

"Do you've anything else you need? I'll be making some renovations, so ring that bell if you need anything."

Noelle was already asleep before he stopped talking.

When Noelle woke again, a little blue monster was in the chair next to her bed.

"Hey miss lightner! I'm here to watch over you while little kindboy sleeps. You've anything you need?"

"Water?"

"One glass of water coming right up!"

They grabbed the glass off the nightstand. It now had a pink straw in it.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. You know Susie? Big, pink thrashing lady?"

"Yeah. I'm in the same class as her, and I guess we're friends? Kris has been talking to me more, and she's always with them."

"We should hang out sometime!"

"When I get better."

"Yeah, when you do."

Ralsei knocked on the door as he entered the room.

"My watch up?"

"Yeah."

The little blue monster ran out of the room.

"What's their name?"

"He's Lancer. About the only person I trust to take care of you."

"He knows Susie?"

"Yeah. Kris and her first came down here a few days ago. We had an adventure and a half that first day." Ralsei looked contemplative. "Do you know them?"

"I've known Kris all my life. Susie ... I've only just started to know her as anything other than a classmate." And both as crushes. Though Ralsei needn't know that ... no matter how cute he was.

"I think I'd love to train you, once you get better. It'd be nice to get to know you!"

Was he blushing? No, couldn't be. Why would he like her? Noelle pushed down these thoughts to pay attention to Ralsei.

"Would you like a book or something? You must be bored."

Noelles stomach growled.

"You're hungry! Right, you've not eaten since you got here. What do you wanna eat? What do lightners eat when they're sick?"

Noelle wanted Toriels chicken noodle soup, but would Ralsei even be able to make that?

"Chicken noodle soup would be nice."

"Kay. I'll go make that now."

Ralsei ran out the door. The room Noelle was in was relatively barren: there was a nightstand, the bed, and the chair opposite the bed. There was nothing to do, and she felt like cotton was stuffed in each sinus. In other words, she felt like shit.

The nightstand did have a drawer, though. Seemed to be easily reachable. She wondered what might be in it? Her own nightstand had her journal, and she had no clue who's room this was. The colors did match Ralsei's clothes. Could this be his room?

Ralsei entered the room again. He was carrying a tray with a bowl of steaming chicken soup on it. Not that she could smelll a thing, though.

He placed the tray on the nightstand.

"Um. I might have to feed this to you. You okay with that?"

Noelle nodded.

Ralsei fed the soup to her daintily. He seemed nervous? While she had been close to the Dreemurrs she'd never been good at reading faces.

Once the soup was done Noelle felt far better. And far sleepier.

"Thanks for the soup."

"You're welcome."

And she slept again. Dreaming fever dreams, with the more pleasent ones having Ralsei, Susie, and Kris in them.

The -- was it morning? -- after started much the same. Lancer being Lancer, and Ralsei keeping her fed and watered. It was much more pleasent then this sounds! However, when Ralsei left to do some renovating, Noelle's curiosity piqued.

What was in that drawer?

She opened and reached it; all much harder to do when laying down.

It was a book. Ralsei's manual? It said please read on the cover.

Well.

If it says so!

The book was written in stuffy prose, but it wasn't anything too difficult to decypher.

Noelle read about the prophecy. About how a human, monster, and prince from the dark. Ah. So the monsters she'd talked to here weren't monsters, but these darkners. The notes in the margins, written in a much more conversational tone, put Kris, Susie, and him in these roles.

The rest of the book was a battle guide. Didn't seem much to relevant to herself.

"You actually read that thing?"

Apparently it was Lancers shift already. How long had she read Ralsei's book?

"Yes. It's not to bad, once you crack the prose."

"You're a strange one," he said, "anyway, you should drink this tea. He said that if you were still up it'd maybe, uh, help you sleep."

That was sweet of him.

"Uh, thanks."

"You're welcome. Glad I don't have to help you drink it."

The tea was calming, and as soon as she placed the cup on the nightstand she fell asleep.

She woke, and sat up to the view of Ralsei with a tea set.

"Lancer said you enjoyed the tea, so I thought I'd bring you some breakfast tea."

"Thanks."

"You're very welcome." He poured the tea. "What did you think of my manual?"

He seemed exited.

"Seems useful. The prose was a bit stuffy, though."

"This is my first book. Kris and Susie found it boring, though."

"That makes sense. Neither one of them is one for ... traditional literature."

Ralsei looked contemplative.

"Do you want to see my library?"

"Yes!"

Noelle immediately coughed.

"Maybe another t--"

Noelle was already out of bed. And wobbling on unused legs.

"If you insist I ... I have an idea."

He was already out of the room before Noelle could respond. Noelle sat, wondering what his idea could be.

When he came back it was quite clear what his idea was.

"I remembered I had this wheelchair. Should give you some mobility."

Noelle got in the wheelchair, and tried to move herself.

"Please, could you push?"

"Yep."

Ralsei pushed her through the castle, pointing out all the rooms along the way.

"That's Susie's room; that's Kris's; that's the dining room."

The library had the largest door thus far. It was a simple, arched, wooden door.

"And this is the library."

The library's defining feature was, after its books, the massive arched window overlooking the lake. On both sides of the larger, central aisle were rows of bookshelves, each fifteen feet high.

"This so cool!"

"It's my favourite place. I've read many of these books, some good, some bad, some worse."

A thought popped into Noelle's head. How long had she been in the dark world? Her dad would be worried sick about her. She was missing so much schoolwork.

Her spiraling slowed when she noticed that Ralsei was hugging her. It felt ... nice. He was so fluffy.

Noelle was ... crying? When had that started?

"There, there."

"I just ... my dad ... he might've..."

"Are you missing home?"

"A bit."

"I think you're almost better; how are you feeling?"

He started to unhug her, but she didn't want to let go.

"Stay. I'm so tired."

"Do you want to go back to m-- your room?"

"Not yet."

They stopped hugging, and Noelle's face became flushed. Was she ... into him? She'd never been into a guy, though she'd only really had three real world crushes before.

"Um, what's a book you'd reccomend?"

Noelle seriously wanted to think of anything other than Ralsei's fur and voice and outfit and how kind he was and that she was apparently bi and--

"What did you say?"

Was he blushing too? Now was to soon to confess a crush, right?

"Um... did you mean to say that out loud?"

She said that aloud? Fuck, he's gonna think she's trying to come on to him and hate her and --

"Because I've one on you, too. I think: I've never really had a crush on anyone before ... except maybe ..."

He continued to speak, but Noelle couldn't focus. He had a crush on her. She wanted to ask him out: that was what you were supposed to do if you confess and the feelings are returned, right?

"I mean, you're very cu--"

"Do you want to go out?"

"Yes. As boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"

"Yeah. Um, we should probably establish boundaries now?"

"Yeah, probably. Sounds like"

Ralsei was still right in front of her. She couldn't do this with him there.

"Let's do it in the sitting area over there."

The boundary discussion was, to say the least, very awkward. Noelle sat in her wheelchair next to Ralsei, and they both blushed feverishly throughout.

"What boundaries should we discuss? I've never seen this in any story I've read."

"According to Ms. Toriel, we should discuss exclusivity, romantic gestures, simple touch, and sex."

"Sex? Now?"

"Yeah, we can have that conversation later. Um... what's your boundary on exclusivity?"

"Yes? Um, where does being Poly lie here?"

Noelle was pleasantly surprised by that. She'd figured she was poly when she brought up her romantic fantasies involving Kris and Susie to her dad. She was ... not confidently poly.

"You're poly too! How did you figure out?"

"I've crushes on a couple ... friends of mine." Ralsei stared at his paws.

"No need to tell me who yet. I want to wait before ... attempting to ask out more people."

Noelle yawned, then coughed up a storm.

"Let's finish this discussion as we head to your room."

As Ralsei pushed Noelle to her room, they established their boundaries regarding touch. Hugs would be ok as long as they accepted noes, kissing would require asking, and anything beyond that would require further discussion.

As Noelle crawled into bed, they said their goodnights. And Noelle had a restful sleep.

In the morning Noelle felt much better; no longer was her throat sore. The day started as usual: with Ralsei bringing her food and water.

"Morning, Noelle."

"Morning, Ralsei. Did we really do that last night?"

"Yep. You appear to be better?"

Noelle was. And thus the day went. After breakfast, Ralsei took her to the library.

"You'll be going home later today. How does that sound?"

"Good. Cannot wait to see dad and Kris and --"

Was that Susie wielding that axe? She looked even more butch down here! Kris was beside her, looking ever the perfect knight. Noelle could have swooned over them. They appeared to be in the middle of an arguement with Lancer

"I was told not to let anyone near Noelle until she's not sick. And she was sick last I saw her!"

"Can we at least visit he- She's down there?"

Kris pointed right at Noelle, then waved.

Noelle waved back.

Susie barrelled down the hall.

"How did you end up down here? Did you fall? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Got to meet Ralsei!"

Kris made a sign that seemed to suggest --

"Not yet, Kris. It's none your busi--"

"Not yet what?" Asked Susie.

Ralsei blushed and put his hands on his face.

"Um," Noelle said as she too became flustered. Had she really said 'not yet.'

"I asked if her and Ralsei have fu--"

"Not in front of Lancer," Ralsei interrupted.

"Fine. You two are together, right?"

"Yes."

Susie looked confused.

"Wait. You two just met?"

"Yes."

"How? Kris and I haven't even defined our rel--"

Susie stopped herself. She was so red!

"Enough about our relationships. We need to take Noelle home."

And so they did, Kris and Noelle bantering the whole way back.

"Goodbye, Ralsei," Noelle said at the way out, "Let's have our first date next Wednesday, if that's okay with you?"

"That'll work. Um, you want a goodbye kiss?"

And they kissed.
