DO NOT FREAK OUT IF THE NET NEUTRALITY BILL IS PASSED ON THURSDAY.

Ajit Pai will still have to take this bill to court and defend it. That’s where the real battle begins.

DO NOT STOP FIGHTING. BUT ALSO DON’T WORK YOURSELF INTO  STATE OF PANIC FOR THURSDAY.

This talk about the surface…why did that seem weird to him? They’ve been underground for–heavens knew how long. Several times longer than he’d been alive, surely! They didn’t look older than him, especially not to that extent. So what was…son of a fuck, this was that human who fell down, the prince’s sibling, uh…Carlisle, right? No…he’ll think of it eventually.

Either way, their comment suddenly made some amount of sense. They obviously weren’t born down here, they’d have some memories of the surface–pleasant or no.

“Usually we do have a lot more customers, but my boss is starting me off in the quiet hours; he knows his customer base pretty well, when they usually get off work to grab a drink or a bite to eat. So I just kinda handle…the shifts where that doesn’t happen for now; he says that’s ‘more my pace.’” That wasn’t even wrong, considering how little traffic the Burger Emporium seemed to get. “If I get one of the regulars’ orders wrong…they’d probably forgive me, but I sure wouldn’t!”

    Chara gains a bored look as they take another bite of their fries, waiting for the monster to speak again. They don’t think to find their own comment odd, as it was small talk, after all, && simply assume that he’s just a bit on the awkward side with talking to others - even if he did work in a job that required doing so. Chara could relate to a degree, they always had a poor time talking to people .. But that was before they fell. 

But, they listen to him && nod their head, giving a light scoff at the end of his sentence. They find that a bit relatable, too, but for other reasons. “ I guess I chose a good hour to come here, then. “ They joke while cracking a slightly forced smile. “ - I uh .. I don’t like large groups. “ Maybe the information will put the monster at some sort of ease ?? It feels like a bit too much in their opinion, but whatever. 

Hands move to grab more of the food in front of them, offering a quiet hum as they awaited some form of a response - it looked like they’d be done with their food soon, meaning they could continue their trek.

( cheekygit ) :

Something Chara and Cheeky could agree on.

Their mutual self(?) loathing aside, though, Cheeky seems to be having a grand ol’ time. In fact, none of the vitriol Chara is spewing seems to even give them any pause.

* AM I? I HAVE NOT NOTICED. PERHAPS. THE ISSUE IS NOT THAT I AM VERY TALL. BUT RATHER. THAT YOU ARE VERY SHORT. THAT IS ALRIGHT THOUGH. A SMALL STATURE. ONLY SERVES TO MAKE YOU MORE DISARMING. AND ADORABLE. WHICH ARE BOTH GOOD THINGS. IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING.

Cheeky momentarily pauses their progress to shoot the spectre some finger guns, accompanied by their usual eerily wide grin. But they do seem to actually mean the compliment – even if it is wrapped in what could be considered an insult.

* ANYWAYS. YOUR ASSISTANCE IS MUCH APPRECIATED. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE. SINCE I HAVE FACED AN OPPONENT WHO WAS NOT HUMAN. I FEAR THAT. WITHOUT YOUR HELP. I MAY DO SOMETHING… REGRETTABLE. UNFORGIVABLE. REPREHENSIBLE. TAKE YOUR PICK. HA. HA. HA. BUT SERIOUSLY. I AM GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE. PARTNER. REALLY. I AM! EVEN IF I DO. HAVE A FUNNY WAY OF SHOWING IT.

    They have no idea if their comments are actually compliments, but the human looks somewhat flustered as they look away, frown still on their lips. Their choice of words && style of talking was strange to Chara, but they don’t really judge the other for it - they’re weird too, aren’t they ? I mean, they’re practically a ghoul after all. 

“ .. You’re .. Welcome, I guess ?? “ Their voice is more quizzical toward the end of their sentence, but they seem genuine enough as they continue their walking - well, floating - for Chara at least. “ - And I’m going to ignore the short comment for once. “ That’s a good thing, otherwise they’d continue to complain && whine. 

Chara shifts somewhat uncomfortably, clearing their throat loudly && acting as though they did not feel uneasy at their other words ( just like how they choose to ignore the finger guns. )“ - This conversation has been strange .. So how about we just continue through The Ruins ? “ They suggest, wishing to change the subject. “ M .. Toriel’s house shouldn’t be much farther. “ They hope - they really have no idea if they’re near it.

@revivalisms // s.c ! 

    Chara doesn’t like to interact with their own species - let alone if they’re an adult but .. Something draws them to this one.  Brows are knit together as they glance to the object in his hand - a pot for a plant. 

“ - Um, excuse me, “ They call out as politely as they can, although they aren’t completely sure why. “ Would you uh .. Happen to know any recommendations for um .. Plants ?? “ 

[bitterpctals]

So... do Asriel, Asgore or Toriel know you're alive?

    The question makes their perpetual smile fade. 

Red eyes narrow as they flicker up from the journal, which they had been intensely writing in. They stare for a moment, before lowering their gaze back down. “ Not your business, ‘ buddy ‘. “

goatdadsruins:

It was a daily habit of the monster to check this deep into Ruined Home for those that have fallen, some times there would be someone, but most of the time it was as empty as it had always been.

So it was a pleasant  surprise to him at the sight of a new child. However, the pleasantness was quickly ruined by the sight of the monster trying to harm the child.

With a single wave of his hand, the large caprine cast a single small ball of magical fire to force away the hostile monster. It was far from enough to actually harm them, but it was enough get his point across to leave.

“What a deplorable creature. Attacking such an innocent youth.” The large monster said in a calm tone as he approached the child, taking a knee to not only get closer to eye level, but also seem less intimidating. After all, he did not wish to scare the child any further, especially after their far from acceptable encounter with their first monster.

“Howdy! I am Asgore, the caretaker of this place I affectionately call ‘Ruined Home’.” He said with a welcoming smile.

“That monster did not hurt you, did it?” He asked, trying to stealthily examine the child for any signs of injuries. Although, he couldn’t quite tell if there were any. But what did catch his attention, was their red eyes. A detail he had never seen in a human before, but it was certainly one that he found very unique and beautiful.

    Chara’s eyes are still wide as they gaze up at their father, confusion surfacing over their face for a moment. Brows furrow together as they open their mouth, unsure of how to approach the situation. Perhaps they should just play dumb for now, figure out what was going on so he wouldn’t grow suspicious. 

They stumble back a little, trying their best to act as if they weren’t used to the presence of monsters - trying to act like a natural human who was scared of such kind creatures. Their brows furrow a bit as they give a little uneasy breath. 

“ A .. A little, “ They admit hesitantly. This wasn’t a lie - they had grown rusty at dodging the bullets during their time as a spirit, which meant they landed more damage than they would have liked to admit.

(=> ASTER: STARE AT THE CHILD.)

“Ch-ild, if you know me-e, it’ll most likely be a trick.”

With that said, a shit-eating grin is given as the lights suddenly turn off. Aster equips a mask, watching the child for a moment before jumping out and giving a shriek.

In reality, it’s probably just a recording on one of his machines.

“Boo. Do you want your candy now, or later?” He murmurs as he breaks character. The lights come back on, almost as though nothing happened.

   Chara does their best not to jump back when the sudden noise reaches their ears && the skeleton jumps forward, but they do end up stepping back a little. Red eyes are narrowed as they gain a unimpressed look before holding out their bag. They should have expected a trick from at least one monster. Well played, doctor. 

They’ll get him back later for that.

“ Now, please. “ They have the decency to at least say please as they look up to him. “ Can you give me some for Asriel, too ?? He’s stuck in bed. “

@matxrna // halloween s.c !! 

    They’re strangely hopeful as they hold up the case the DVD of the movie they had wanted to watch to their mother, red eyes wide && expression pleading. “ I think we can handle one scary movie .. “ They’re nearly fifteen, of course they can !! 

Besides, what’s the point of halloween if they can’t watch scary movies && hog all the candy they retrieved from trick or treating ?? 

[bitterpctals]

@voiddxd​ gets a gremlin at the door ! 

    Dressed in a zombie outfit they had spent a painstakingly long time on, the child grinned up at the skeleton as they held out their bag which is already filled with a strange amount of candy. Asriel was sick so they took it as their duty to collect as much candy as possible. .. He probably wouldn’t mind if there was a lack of some .. 

“ Trick or treat ! “ 

[bitterpctals]

itsgoatbro:

The boss monster leaned forward in their direction, elbows resting on his knees, paws meeting and fingers interlocking as he rested his head atop his paws. He kept his eyes on them as they spoke, taking it all in, his foot tapping idly against the floor. Damnit, there was just so much he wanted to ask…

A soft sigh leaves Asriel’s lips, looking down at the floor for a moment.

   [ 🔥 ] “When was it…? Before I broke the barrier? After? Did that massive surge cause something to happen?”

He pulls his chair a bit closer, holding out his paws now, gesturing in his confusion as he goes on.

  [ 🔥 ] “And what’s this about following other’s? Years? What are you talking about? I just don’t understand….”

      Why are they really not surprised that he has more && more questions for them ?? They know they hadn’t always been the best explainer but .. They heave a sigh, shifting uncomfortably in place before they spoke. “ - Everything’s fuzzy, I don’t know for sure. You all definitely weren’t underground when I woke up, though. “ That’s the truth. They woke up on a bed of flowers && dragged themself out, that is something they can recall clearly. So maybe the barrier did play a part in their resurrection ?? “ It must have been after. “ 

Chara desperately wants to avoid his next question, but they know it would be suspicious. They knew better than to try && lie to him. Red eyes drift down as brows furrow && they remain silent for a moment, leaving the two in silence before they spoke. “ Asriel, I .. I woke up before all of this but .. I wasn’t alive. “ 

Sorrow overcomes their expression as memories resurface && they swallow. “ - I was .. I was bound to humans that would fall, in a way, I guess .. “ Their voice is weaker now as their gaze drifts to the side a moment. “ .. And Frisk was included. During my time following after them, I .. I had no control over their actions - I couldn’t stop them if they hurt a monster, and I couldn’t try and get away from them either .. “ Chara sounds ridiculous, don’t they ? No matter how truthful they are .. They really don’t know if he’ll believe them.

rebornflora:

       What began as a bright expression slowly turned into something truly dark. It was a light in his heart that flickered and struggled ──── The soul beating in his chest surely wasn’t the soul of a MURDERER, was it?

         What does that make him?

   Asriel would have been lying if he said he didn’t want to accuse them of not telling the truth── Not out of the fact that he didn’t believe them, but more because it was something he, himself could not remember. It was a memory that was just a little out of reach ─ Where he’d stared a child in the eye, begging them not to kill him.

       He didn’t want to believe it.        Suddenly, his soul hurts, as if it was suddenly stabbed into by a knife.

   Where did his memories begin, and what was the truth?      Could he have died? Could it just be from another TIMELINE?

        Asriel was confused.

“…i…” he tries to get himself to talk, but in the end, he was speechless. He’d thought it was paranoia ─ he thought it was a nightmare. He’d repressed the idea that Frisk could ever hurt ANYONE ─── this world was not KILL or BE KILLED anymore. No, it couldn’t be!

                “…haha…”

     “…you… must have gone through something terrible,” he tries to sympathise. He tries to hide his own confusion and sorrow. He wanted to believe that the person who gave him his soul was good ─he wanted to believe they did what was right, always, “──i can’t even begin...”

    He smiles.

          "─um.“

 "─you’re… not evil for doing that,” he tries to reassure them, “──i’m glad you did. you did what you could ─ you did what was… right.”

     His hand still hovered over his chest, trying to soothe an aching soul.     "───looks like we both have a little piece of frisk inside us, don’t we Chara?“

    The guilt hits them hard as they look up to his face, their own expression one of sorrow. They want nothing more than to tell him it was some twisted joke, but the truth was .. It wasn’t. They were telling him the truth, && as much as it hurt, it would be so much better than just bottling it up. It’d be healthier. 

Chara wishes they chose to lie to him, however. 

“ - I might not be evil, but I’m definitely not good. “ After standing by && watching .. At some points even encouraging the genocide .. && only being able to act when everything was over && it was too late .. What were they ?? “ Asriel .. If I just took control sooner I could have .. I could have saved them, “ They nearly add that they could have saved him as well, but .. Being able to save him was the one thing they thought they could never truly do. 

No matter how much they wanted to. 

Their hand is reluctant, but it’s gingerly placed on the others own as red eyes look up at him, narrowed with a unreadable look to them. “ I don’t need comfort or your sympathy, Asriel .. I just .. “ They purse their lips. “ Really .. I need to get up, I fell down a hole and we’ve been sitting here for a while. “ They want to lighten the subject, laugh it off like they had done in the past with all of their other problems. They knew very well there was no avoiding further speaking of the subject with Asriel, he’d likely question them again at some point but .. Right now ? Right now they wanted a break. 

Chara truly wanted to pretend none of this had happened && clean themself up. They don’t want to dwell on the fact that they hold a SOUL with so much rage inside it, which is exactly why they don’t comment on his question, whether it was meant to hurt them or not.
