The Bridge Across Worlds

(Well, this is taking a while... Go my Chara!)

C:Hey guys, it's me again. How's the Ruins going for y'all?

...Good I guess...?

There's two little star thingies here...one's pink and one's yellow.

Nova hasn't explained it yet, taken they said Toriel is right there, and they'd rather explain and tell me how to use it when someone's not around...

C:...ah, SAVE Points. The manifestation of one's DETERMINATION, allowing one to SAVE at a point in time. Normally they're yellow, but pink ones are interesting to hear about. Maybe they're unique to you?

"I'm wondering the same thing, taken Niko's SOUL is an entirely different color I've NEVER seen before."

I dunno what's this talk about the SOUL stuff...

All I know is that it popped out that one time when I was uh...

...Getting squished.

C:...yeah, that's Flowey for ya. But still, keep that SOUL as safe as you can. How about you get moving for now, though? You must've been here for some time.

Yeah let me do that...

Niko reaches their hand out to the pink star...

[SLOT 1 SAVED]

...That felt tingly...

But I'm ready.

Niko then continues forward, Nova having saved a little right after them, seeing a weird button puzzle ahead that Toriel was standing next to, she began to explain about the ruins' puzzles.

...Y'know I'm still wondering how I got here...

"...I'm wondering the same myself, taken I'm here with you.."

"...Yeah me I'd MAYBE understand..but the BOTH of us..?"

"...Well...The World Machine is figuring that out for us..honestly might need to think of a nickname cause saying that CONSTANTLY might be a mouthful.."

"....Well if I think of something I'll let you know!" * Did you say something, small one? OH WHOOPS, they talked a bit too loud!

"Uhh! Nothing..!!"

They had also missed the conversation with the puzzles...but they hoped Nova had listened to it..

C:Be sure to use those whenever possible, as they'll help mitigate progress loss on defeat.

(Even if the convo was missed, Chara's there to help, considering they've watched Frisk and Starfish go throughout the entire underground.)

C:Honestly... I'm still confused on how you two arrived here, but at least I know my way through the underground. Though for the sake of not fully backseating, I'll try to help when I deem necessary or when asked for help, though consider me as the narrator "ghost" from time to time, I guess. ...this brings back old memories.

Okay...

Also...defeat..?

....Nova kinda said that uhm...

...That I'm more at risk for...y'know...

(Well, this is taking a while... Go my Chara!)

This place is very...purple.

Niko looked around as they walked forward, what...WAS this place? The place looked really purple and run down... Was this the Ruins that Miss Toriel was talking about?

This place looks...REALLY old..

There's plants everywhere...

"That's cause it IS old Niko, I dunno by...how long but they've been down here a WHILE."

...Wait they're stuck down here too..?

Niko didn't KNOW that but...they were also trying to keep down talking with Nova since Toriel was RIGHT there. Well until they walked a little bit forward seeing a bunch of red flowers or...leaves...? And some stairs up to a doorway, seeing a...weird...Pink Star right there, next to a yellow four pointed one....

What in the world is this??

#the sun's tale #crossover blog #crossover au #as niko #as nova (the player)#((fine i'll do it myself

"Well uh...it's a SAVE point, somewhere where you can y'know... Return to if things get dicey."

...Dicey how?

"...Honestly it's hard to explain outside of keyboard terms how to do it manually, but just.. JUST in case if you..y'know...you'll automatically return here before it even happened."

...Oh.

...Almost forgot it was more dangerous here but...

...Okay. Niko reaches for their own SAVE point while Nova did theirs.

[SLOT 0 SAVED]

Nova noticed how that it said a slot instead of a file...maybe Niko's saving worked a bit different..? They didn't KNOW exactly, since all of this was all pretty new stuff all at once. ...Maybe they could test it on their own later, so that it'd be one LESS new thing on their plate...

..We should keep going before Ms Toriel wonders who I'm talking to up there..

...Oh right Toriel was still standing up there on the stairs..

"Right..."

This place is very...purple.

"Taking a walk around."

One of Cassidy's ears flicks.

"I haven't really gotten to explore a whole lot of this town before, so I just wanted to check out the place."

#surfacetales #crossover blog #crossover au #my ocs #Gravity's Pull - Max #Technology is the Future - Tara

"T-To be fair this p-place is big enough to have different sc-school districts...b-but it's s-still middle of nowhere.." Tara finally spoke up, She was a LOT more used to bigger cities and stuff but she moved here a long while back.

"..Well duuhh..the nearest city is like an hour or two away, you just don't like it cause it doesn't have as much technology around." Max lightly teased Tara who just huffed in response.

magicandcuriosity

The half-fox grins, rubbing the back of his head as he turns towards Tara.

"Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyways, the name's Cassidy - you can just call me 'Cass' if that's easier."

#crossover blog #crossover au #my ocs #Gravity's Pull - Max #Technology is the Future - Tara #surfacetales

"...Max!" Max smiled at Cassidy, though Tara was being nervous as always. "Like I said though uh...what're you doing around here?? I haven't seen you around at all."

magicandcuriosity

@askutosniko (from x)

"That's the thing about half-foxes - it's pretty easy for us to surprise others."

The other half-fox speaks up from where he is, although he would be looking at Max with curiosity. "Although I haven't seen a whole lot of half-foxes around, aside from my family. Nice to meet ya."

#surfacetales #my ocs #crossover blog #crossover au #Gravity's Pull - Max #Technology is the Future - Tara

"EEP!"

Tara jumped again from the other voice that she wasn't expecting, looking towards the new Half Fox.

Max meanwhile...

"Well we don't usually live near each other!"

Max looked at the other half fox up and down.

"Though I haven't seen you around at ALL in comparison. Who are you?"

There's a Varien wandering around town - half-fox, from the looks of things. Seems like they're in the middle of a trip... who will they bump into on the way?

(from @magicandcuriosity)

Tara had been walking home from school, before well Max basically JUMPED them.

"There you are..!"

They smiled at Tara as Tara jumped from surpise, fully relaxing as she saw it was her friend.

"Y-You scared me..h-hey..!"

They hadn't noticed the other half fox wandering around just yet, but they were definitely nearby.

I think I'm ready to move forward now, I'm not as dizzy anymore.

"...Just letting you know, there's gonna definitely be a LOT more fights where I'll be moving you around."

....I know. I'll get used to it.

As much as they said they would, they'd probably NEVER get used to it fully, just...enough so they wouldn't get dizzy at all.

"...Alright. The beginning bits here should be just Toriel guiding you. I'll stay quiet unless someone has a question for me."

...RIght should I...try not to respond as loudly to you or anyone else..?

"Probably wise, taken Toriel only saw YOU, it's safe to assume that no one can see me."

"....Baarrring maybe a few exceptions I can think of but...we'll cross that bridge if I'm actually RIGHT on that."

Alright!

"...I can feel what you're feeling. This is REALLY messing with you isn't it?"

...Yeah.

How...long am I gonna be stuck down here..?

"...Well, accounting for times you'll probably want to rest for...uhh..." "....I honestly don't know."

.....

...Why couldn't I just be sent straight home..?

...I don't wanna be stuck in ANOTHER world again I..

I just want this to be OVER already.

"...Something we agree on."

"...I'm just gonna say it..only gets tougher from here, but...like before I'll try my best okay?"

....Okay.

...I trust you.

...I don't wanna end up...y'know...

"And it WON'T come to that, long as I'm still breathing."

"....Wait am I ACTUALLY breathing right now?"

...I...don't know..? You ARE really...ghost-y...

I mean I think you still are?

"....We can figure this out later."

Yeah.

C:Yeah... Bit of a journey that awaits you.

C:Anyway, Nova said that I should let you two talk, so I'll probably be either silent or I'll be off now.

...Okay.

..I'll talk later.

C:Dodging with a SOUL might be hard to get accustomed to, so take your time to practice if you end up in an easy fight.

C:As for Flowey... yes, that's his name. Pretty sure he mentioned it?

C:And as for the last part, welcome to the Underground, home of monsterkind. You're gonna be here for a while. ^^"

...Makes sense that I'm underground, since what I fell in WAS a hole in the ground.

...But being here a while...

....Mnn.. They had already been gone from home for what felt like EVER, how long was a while..?

"...If you can hear me, can you give us a moment alone? At least for now. We can talk a little later."

C:Phew, Toriel showed up in time at least. For a monster, let's just say she is very kind!

C:As for Flowey's aggressiveness... I'm pretty unsure of that. Just beware of him for now.

C:If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer them as we walk through the area.

Uh...I have a LOT of questions actually!

Like what...even WAS that, and how come I couldn't move as easy..?

"Pretty sure I'm responsible for that."

What do you mean Nova..?

"I think WHATEVER brought me here, or whatever, made me connected to you, and that means in fights, I can influence your movements and dodge around."

"...As for WHY, I don't know why. Your guess is as good as mine on that one."

...Okay..uh...LESS confusing...

Still what was with the..flower..? You said Flowey..?

ALSO, where AM I?
