hahaha so, like, what if the flowers got transported into undertale??
yeah, it’s not an original concept by any means but i couldn't get this idea out of my head. i'm calling this au “a flower’s dream” for now. i'm not too fond of the title (yet?) so it might change to something better (update: it's called "flowers' hopes and dreams" now!). basically, the sealing of the flower kingdom's dark fountain occurred at the same time as an undertale “reset”—which led the seven flowers to slip into the kingdom of monsters. they're scattered throughout the underground, separated from one another, with little to no clue where they are.
oh, and the human souls are gone from their containment. totally completely unrelated whatsoever!
Details/rambling below! (^o^)/
this au is heavily based on the parallelism between deltarune and undertale. the obvious being: flowery is the counterpart to flowey, the flowers are as to the fallen humans (souls), pink with mad mew mew. so, when they get dumped into undertale, their existence got linked to these associations.
the human souls, within their containment, resonated with six flowers. it was strong enough that they escaped and attached themselves to them. the flowers become… vessels, of sorts. not in a kris way tho! the human souls lie dormant, having died, with minimal consciousness. in deltarune, darkness is what gifted flowers a human form. but here, it’s flipped around: the light of the soul giving them shape. its kinda like shadow puppets (light as the human soul, hand as the flower, shadow as their human appearance, darkness from the underground). the six flowers spawn at the items left behind by the fallen humans. aqua wakes up at the balcony ruins (toy knife), orange gets stuffed into the first dimensional box (tough gloves), etc. monsters think they’re human at first but soon realize they aren’t (and later not monsters either).
as for flowery and pink…
flowery and flowey share a body. right before meeting frisk (again), flowey felt something change within him. it bursted out of his stem and took on a humanoid shape—becoming flowery. it's a case of accidental parasitism that neither of them like. flowery is in control most of, if not all, the time while flowey sits on his shoulder. he has vines wrapping around his midsection and some of his left arm, leading upward to where flowey is. flowery has a similar looking soul to the other flowers: a black heart with a red glow. the red color comes from the determination that was injected into flowey (following the red soul = determination assumption). anyway, flowery accompanies frisk in their journey despite flowey’s complaints. he also has the ability to see the save points but can’t interact with them as frisk does. oh, and flowery has deep, complicated feelings about this world’s asgore…
pink, in their dark world form, is dumped right next to mad mew mew. she’s a unique case of being separated from her undertale counterpart, purely because of how her story works (pink’s darkner body). pink has a special soul unrelated to humans, being half darkner and half monster. it's reminiscent of her split soul mechanic in undertale. pink is absolutely frustrated at first, due to feeling lost, before settling down… before promptly freaking out at the underground history. the lightner pink is shocked about monsters being banished while the darkner pink realized darkners don’t exist in this world. she has so many emotions running through her head. however, pink later finds resolve and sets out her own adventure to find ory and the others! she also has a new friend accompanying her too, mad mew mew! they get along really well <3
moving on, undertale! not much to talk about tbh. frisk just completed a neutral run and, on flowey’s advice, reset back to the beginning. however, they are completely caught off guard by these new friends. neither humans or monsters but “plantners”! note: there is no player entity, the red soul belongs to frisk’s. And, chara is a ghost that follows frisk... yeah, i’m old school for that.
it's not fully fleshed out or anything but that’s all i have. for anyone wondering why pink is included, i see her as a part of the bouquet. (✿◠‿◠)
...But seriously though, I'm not doing this every time! 😭 But I really couldn't help it

Thoughts and descriptors both in parenthesis
KSE: (using respectful language) W-who... Oh, the auditor... W-why here...
BSH: (honorifics on) the cctvs are off
KSE (honorifics off) Why are you here?
BSH: Ha! (Enters while wearing shoes) You really know how to act
KSE: Yeah, thanks
BSH: ...
KSE: Anyway, to think you can even turn of the cctvs. It really is something else to be the section chief from the main office. But are you sure this is okay?
BSH: are you comparing me to a worker? Don't you think you're being presumptuous?
KSE: If the reason is vague, you might be suspected.
BSH: I'm different from a mere worker like you. (crooked smile) I'm doing random inspections on a few break rooms for the workers. You thought I was wasting time just because of you? You think too much of yourself.
(KSE: yeah sure... Well as long as you're certain of yourself)
BSH: Anyway, staying in this room for 5-10 mins wouldn't be suspicious at all. (shrugs) Enough with useless concerns... You received the money, right?
KSE: the bill being cancelled?
BSH: Of course that. Who did you think did that?
KSE: (wow. (sincerely impressed) thank you, I really needed that money...!)
BSH: Give me that.
KSE: hm?
BSH: Half that money is of course mine, so prepare that.
KSE: I used it all...
BSH: ~!
KSE: just kidding.
BSH: ...
KSE: But I do want to not give it to you.
BSH: (clenches fists then opens) Look at you, shamefully risking your life for a pittance. And you're even joking about the money? Can civil servants embezzle -
KSE: Hmm, shouldn't it be okay since I'm no longer a civil servant?
BSH: ...
(While BSH is quiet, KSE organizes the bag)
BSH: (suddenly) were you originally an agent, and you infiltrated Daydream?
KSE: (calmly) No. What you knew was the truth. A spy.
(Long silence)
(KSE: this is awkward.)
KSE: What you said in the morning, you were telling me to not take the pill, right?
BSH: ...at least you can read the room to that degree. Yes, I was telling you to not take the pill. Because it's a darkness.
(KSE takes out the pill)
BSH: Why are you touching it with your hand? Throw it away.
KSE: What darkness is it?
BSH: The specifics are censored in the documents. They were trying like hell to not let me know. Still, they're only a researcher working at a branch like this. I'll find out soon enough.
KSE: ... Don't do anything too conspicuous.
BSH: (snort) Didn't you ask me to smuggle you out so that you could leave safely in a week?
(KSE: I didn't go that far in asking him for help...?)
BSH: You're suddenly acting like you care a lot about me, but I don't need it. As if I'm still a supervisor.
KSE: I'm saying, be careful regardless. I can still worry.
BSH: ...
BSH: (in suppressed voice) ...I really don't know what you're thinking.
(KSE: that's what I want to say...)
BSH: ...Did you infiltrate this Namhae branch to investigate it?
KSE: Not really, but since I'm stuck here anyway, I've been looking into it. It's suspicious in many ways.
(KSE takes out glasses)
KSE: First of all, this room is suspicious.
BSH: this room?
KSE: yeah. So I'm going to take a look at what it was like before becoming workers' quarters.
(KSE takes out glasses from the case. BSH's eyes shine.)
BSH: 'What it was like'? Don't tell me those glasses show the past?
(KSE nods)
BSH: That's the item you mentioned yesterday, right? The 1st prize.
KSE: Right.
(Greed flashes in BSH's eye. However unlike before, he quickly becomes composed again.)
(But he speaks the same way.)
BSH: Well, enjoy yourself. You'll have to pay it up politely as escape fee, the day you get out of here.
(KSE: Dream on.)
(KSE sees Ho's office & hurriedly looks around)
BSH: What is it? What do you see?
KSE: Director Ho's former office
BSH: ...?!
KSE: I heard he used to work here before becoming Director.
BSH: Give me that. Let me see too.
KSE: You're saying that so easily when you don't even know what the side effect is?
BSH: ...
(KSE explores a bit more, finds door etc, takes the glasses off. His eyes bleed.)
BSH: ...!
KSE: ah, this is the side effect. It's fine.
BSH: ...
(KSE wipes his eyes and puts the glasses away)
KSE: Everything important seems to be hidden beyond that mud wall, so there's no need to take a look. Seems like there's a lot hidden in the branch office. Plenty of material for you to have fun auditing.
BSH: ...ha.
(KSE: I should be the one groaning, why are you making that noise?)
(KSE: wait, bsh might know more info)
KSE: Haven't you heard anything about this Namhae branch on your way to audit?
BSH: Well... They do say that each branch has its own characteristic. Namhae branch is... (He'd been pressing his forehead with his gloved hand. He frowns) People say that while the working environment is poor, the efficiency is high. They're good at reusing resources, uses less supplies... And there was also word that they're a bit of an experimental operation.
KSE: what about location?
BSH: they were trying like hell to keep the location a secret. Moving people in cars with tinted windows.
(KSE: so you don't know...)
(But instead of pointing it out to keep BSH disciplined etc, he just nods)
KSE: Sounds like it really would be difficult to know.
BSH: ...
KSE: ...
(Awkward silence)
KSE: ...Anyway, to investigate this further, it'd be nice if I could dig out this soil secretly. Would it be possible to keep the cctv here turned off permanently, or get rid of it?
BSH: That won't be impossible to do. (Crosses arms) But do you think I'll do it when you're talking to me like that?
(KSE: this again.)
BSH: If you're in your right mind, shouldn't you be saying '(in honorifics) Do this please, I beg of you' first?
KSE: (in honorifics) Sure. Do this please. I beg of you.
BSH: ...
(BSH looks deflated)
BSH: ...Never mind. Just keep still, don't do anything useless like investigating. I'm not going to turn off the cctv for you.
(BSH wristwatch rings)
BSH: I'll come back, don't do anything else until then. And don't unnecessarily use items. I don't like used goods.
KSE: What are you -
BSH: I'm saying, don't walk to your death when there's nothing you can do anyway.
(Turns away and walks out.)
(KSE: What is this? Is he trying to aggravate me, or help me? I don't even know why he's helping me in the first place. He was a bit friendly when I was talking to him as the agent, but I thought that would be over once he found out I'm Kim Soleum.
Well, he certainly did seem to want the item. So, is he doing this to have a reason to be able to take it?
In any case, it's nice to see someone I know after a long time again)

Thoughts
• omg I wondered if last ep would be the end of bsh but he's still here 🩷 🩷 🩷
• 'Don't eat' <- this is said without honorifics. (But later when actually talking with KSE he uses honorifics)
• the pill is so transparently suspicious lmao
• oh hey he got his money back! I wonder if the audit had anything to do with it...
• lmao KSE immediately changing his speech when BSH says the cctvs are off
• omg it really was bsh who got him the payment?!
• lmao but he wants half
• but he doesn't insist on it once the convo turns...
• "were you originally an agent who infiltrated daydream?" aaa he was wondering about it all this time...
• ok omfg the dialogue is too good I gotta tl today's dialogue too
• omfg this was where Ho used to work!!!
• they're so awkward...
• "yes, please do it, I beg of you" lmfao
• BSH is definitely treating him as the agent... Worried that he might risk his life... Augh
• I hope kse got to jns in time, I hope jns didn't take the pill... Omg would she be tempted seeing how other workers are physically improving;; the pill might get rid of the pain...
I love how Flowery’s like “heh I can’t believe Raly deals with all those self worth issues and believes he only exists to serve Lightners. I’m glad I’m not like that” and then he goes about his day making sure Asgore’s happy lest he be just a useless flower
I think it's worth saying that the reason Flowery turns around so fast from being the worst guy ever to the coolest guy ever is largely because over the course of Chapter 5 you slowly learn that Flowery is actually the pure definition of "cool." He doesn't care if he looks silly. He doesn't care if what he's saying doesn't make any sense or if his entire gimmick is totally fake. He's gonna do whatever he wants anyways, no matter what anyone else thinks about it, and he's going to believe in it 100% even when he knows otherwise, because believing might make it real. And it's that pure and unabashed sincerity that makes him incredibly cool even when he's going on about "jarona" and "nothing is more powerful than a flower's dream." He's just genuinely super awesome actually.
