Chapter 4: Bust a Move!

❤︎⁠Chapter 5: Rolling down the coasters

Chapter 6: —

STOP BEFORE READING THIS! YALL NEED TO CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING FANART AND INTERPRETATION OF MC BY Reing Issleeping

I was in such state of delirium that I totally forgot to add this. By bad.

—❤︎⁠—

Everything was dark.

Well. . .darker than usual that’s it.

It was so dark that you couldn’t understand if your eyes were open or closed. You lifted your hands (you think you did) until your fingers rammed against your VERY WELL open eyes which made you let out a hiss of pain and immediately recoil back while you felt tears forming in the corner of your eyes. Great idea making you more blind than you already are. . .totally what you needed.

It was undeniable, however, that this wasn't a dream and if it was it deserves to be thrown in the nasty category because you are NOT having a good time at all. It’s so unsettling down here (or maybe it was up here?) and cold and disorienting– north, south, west and east just merged all together, spinning your head round and round till you forget what it feels like to be alive.

Your legs gave out, making you fall down on your knees and pain blooming all around. Balancing in this void only makes you sway and fall down each time. Feeling the ground beneath, you didn’t even notice the fact that you were leaning forward till you fell once again and this time simply laid down on this weird thing that you struggle to call ground. It’s not a floor. It’s not concrete.

However you are also not floating around.

It’s so confusing to understand.

All you were left to do was. . .really, all you could do now was just breath and try to embrace anything that wasn’t darkness– lest you wanted to dissolve into nothingness. Or go mad.

Which seemed to be the most probable outcome as your eyes immediately locked into something different. . .something with so much contrast with your surroundings that it was impossible to ignore. Something. . .white– just further down. Is this an hallucination? Is this a last ditch effort of your brain to conjure anything that wasn’t darkness?

Your ears started whistling.

No, it wasn’t exactly a whistle– more like. . .words? Were you hearing words? Or were these screams?

…………y-..........the………….

……my………bri…….dg……..

………back………I……..

I…..want…………

*SLAM!*

“I want fifty-five CD Bagels! Fifty-five Glowrist! Fifty-five MechaSaber! Fifty-five AutoAxe! Fifty-five–” Susie exclaimed at the top of her lungs, leaning over the counter of the music shop, which promptly made the three robots at the checkout exchange unsure glances and wondering if it had been a good idea allow these Lightners to waltz inside like it was nothing. . .especially with the demands they were receiving.

“Uhm. . .Susie? Isn’t that. . .” Ralsei struggled to calm down the warrior “A bit too much? Can we even carry so much stuff? Do they even have all the quantities you want? Why do you need so many copies of the same weapon?” and kept throwing glances toward the front door, mentally praying that you and Kris will enter and help him out a bit.

The purple dino slammed her fists on the counter “We need to be ready if we want to save Noelle and defeat Queen!”

“Uhm. . .how will we pay for all of that?” Ralsei quipped once again with a nervous look.

Susie went to slam her fists on the counter again and Cap silently slid a pillow underneath to soften the blow “Kris will manage it!”

And she was back to glare at the three robots with her eyebrows furrowed, not noticing that she accidentally whipped the white goat in the face with her long hair when she snapped her head around. Sweet singular eye looked at the ceiling while K_K gave the dino monster a wink “That will be $44000. . .and a week worth of waiting as we scavenge through the trash outside the city”

. . .

. .

Susie blinked. Turned to the left. Turned to the right. Then narrowed her eyes with sweat dripping down her temple “Can’t you guys. . .uhhhh. . .like, give us a small discount? In the name of rebellion and everything. . .” she awkwardly coughed in her fist, ignoring the sigh coming from the goat beside in favor of watching Cap snapping his fingers with a huge smile “Oh for sure dino nugget–!”

“I’m not a dinosaur–AND I’M A NUGGET!”

“--All these delicacies can be yours at the low low price of $40!”

. . .

. .

“Oh. . .”

“And hot Babe to join us”

“OH!”

Susie looked at Ralsei for an intense five seconds, enough time for the darkener to understand her intention and let out a distraught cry “We are NOT gonna SELL ____!” his protest fell into deaf ears as his friend shot him a smug smirk, lifting her eyebrow “It’s not ‘selling out B’. . .more like. . .relocating them for the time being. . .we are TOTALLY gonna kidnap them back without these guys knowing”

“SUSIE?!”

Ralsei tried to stop her from stepping out of the shop, his soft paws wrapped around her upper arm and feet digging in the ground– alas that wasn’t enough as the dragon easily made her way toward the exit with a clear plan in mind. She is gonna acquire that discount one way or another! In the name of the rebellion and free stuff to save Noelle and close this dark fountain!

Now though. . .she needs to find you first.

. . .

Oh look. There you were. . .staring at a lonely doorframe with a lost expression with Kris snapping their fingers in front of your face yet earning no response at all. Despite their usual blank features, their lips were pressed together hard enough to convey a sense of worry coming out of them– which made both Susie and Ralsei halt on their spots trying to understand what exactly was going on. You were acting strange– which, to be fair, you always act strange but this. . .this was another type of strange.

“Oi dude, the hell is going on here? Why are they looking at that door frame like it murdered their family?” snapping out of it, the purple monster quickly made her way with the goat closely behind, his eyebrows furrowed with concern. Kris finally turned around, uncertain if they should let go of your shoulder in case you decide to collapse right then and there “Dunno. We were looking around for more loot when we found this odd door frame. Asked them to look inside. And this is the result”

“Mhm. . .” Susie walked closer and waved a hand in front of your dazed eyes “Yooo? B? B? You there? B? Zombie? ____? Nerd? Creepy teen we found inside a cemetery?” still, you didn’t grace her with any type of answer– prompting the girl to turn her attention toward the remaining monster and human; placing her arms behind her head “After a really attentive examination, I declare that ___ is broken. . .”

. . .

. .

“Which means that we can sell them for amazing equipment!”

“SUSIE!”

Tilting their head to the side, Kris pulled their lips into a grimace– like they were wondering where the hell did that come from. Susie immediately zeroed on their questioning expression, pulling out a smug smile and muffling out Ralsei’s protests “Listen here! I got us this HUGE deal– like! A TON of stuff that would cost us a fortune. . .HOWEVER, if we sell B to those weird dancing robots they will only make us pay 40$! I mean! We would be idiots to not accept it!”

The white goat pushed his way in front of the purple haired monster, he pleaded with his eyes for the blue haired teen to reason logical “Kris! You also know that this is insane! We can’t sell ___ for tools and armors. . .they are our friend. Tell something to Susie!”

Yet when he saw them bit down on their lip, like they were actually considering what to choose, it made the poor prince’s shoulders fall down with disbelief. He blinked his eyes and pulled the ‘disappointed parent’ expression. . .which might be a goat thing but it reminded the two lightners of Toriel’s disappointed card, making both of them flinch.

✱We are utterly broke. It’s this or we eat Lancer.

❤︎They are not in the prophecy, it’s fine.

Ralsei sighed “Kris. . .not you too. . .let me help them” and then walked over to you, lifting his hands and revealing a green ball of magic slowly forming before he shot in your direction. You were already at max health but the shock of magic surging all over your system actually made you jump on your place just as your legs trembled and you slipped backward. The imminent fall broken only by both Kris and Susie catching you at the last second “H-Huh?! The hell is this place?”

It was like you just woke up from a nightmare because you nearly hit Susie with your head from how much you were snapping it around until you finally settled down as memories came back one after the other “What. . .happened?”

Behind, you heard the purple haired girl tch in annoyance and let go of you “Shame. . .they come back”

Those words made you screech in disbelief “What do you mean shame?!”

“Which means that we won’t sell them!” Ralsei smiled with his eyes closed, glad to not have lost you.

Who snapped your head between him and her “What do you mean you wanted to sell me?!”

Your head snapped toward Kris, the only one still holding you from falling on your ass. They looked down at you and for a second you thought you saw their eyes being of an intense red until your focus shifted on their mischievous smirk “You are worth exactly $43960. Imagine how many pies I could buy if we sold you” and then stuck out their tongue, prompting your eye to twitch.

“But then who will cheer on you with pom-pom if I’m not here–Ah!?”

They let you go, prompting you to fall on your poor ass– their head already turned away from you and instead toward the lone frame door. You weren’t sure if they were embarrassed by your words or simply wanted to be a jackass, either way they huffed out a laugh “I will have Ralsei put on a dress and jump around” rolling your eyes, you caught Susie laugh her ass off and Ralsei giggling behind his paw with a soft blush “I never tried cheering, I’m not sure I would be a good option”

The air cleared up so fast that your brain quickly pushed aside what happened mere minutes before, now it only felt like you blinked and turned around too harshly, falling against your companions. No recollection about the darkness you were submerged, nor any questions about the white blob anchoring your mind to the moment. And no one seemed to want to ask what happened either. It was even easier to sweep everything under the rug as some sort of effect from the Dark World.

Yet you still felt like a pair of eyes boring in the back of your head, so heated they made you flinch and snap your head back– heartbeat spiked and blood rushed through your veins from a sudden sense of danger overwhelming your figure. All you saw was Kris looking at you, standing right in the middle of the lone frame door, neon blue skin a huge contrast with the background black.

It was. . .weirdly jarring. . .

“Damn, if we can’t sell B I guess we will have to continue without our amazing loot. . .” Susie walked past you and toward the direction of the Sweet Cap’n Cakes’s shop, looking almost disconsolate. . .until she took out her axe and slammed it to the ground, putting on display her sharp grin “Not that we need all that junk to save Noelle, right guys?”

Ralsei smiled, cheeks dusting of a cute pink “Well said Susie! We will manage to close this fountain like we did last time! We just need to believe in ourselves. . .and especially not sell our friends!” chuckling out in disbelief, you finally stood on your feet and shook your head “Can’t believe you guys would’ve sold me ONLY for $43960. I’m quite the rare piece you know? You won’t find out something like this anywhere else”

Susie barked out a laugh “Good to know. I will keep it in mind” she then shifted her gaze toward the blue haired teen “Yo Kris! We already wasted enough time. Let’s close this fountain quickly before our faces get robotized!”

Kris shot one last look at you before finally nodding and making their way back to the front of the group.

You passed in front of the Sweet Cap’n Cakes’s shop, Kris briefly stopping inside to buy something for which you had time to properly wave goodbye to the three robots with additionally an unedited performance for your group. As you exited you heard Cap shout out “Go lightners! Teach hot mama a lesson for everyone!”

Both you and Kris snapped your heads to look at each other and make sure what you heard wasn’t the wind “Did he just call Queen ‘Hot Mama’--?!”

Proceeding with your adventure, you guys reached a green structure with Queen face plastered over it and two warning signs right beside the door entrance. Seeing as there were no more roads to take, you cautiously made your way inside only to be blessed with the sight of four carts for roller coasters. Each one of them seemed to be designed specifically for each member of your group. .Susie’s being purple with flames and a grin full of sharp teeth. Kris’s being just a more emo Kris with hearts to the side. Ralsei’s being a more dog-like Ralsei. And yours. . .

“Why is mine a ship? Am I missing the joke?”

Unfortunately your, very important, questions will not receive an answer anytime soon as Susie grabbed you by the back of your outfit and placed you inside “Come on! Let’s get on these things! They might lead us to the fountain!” and just like that– barely hanging to the edge– Kris pressed the start button which prompted the carts to slowly move until they picked out speed.

“Uhm guys?! Are there no seat belts on these things?” daring to peek down, the regret was immediate and instead you snapped your head forward and held the wheel incredibly firmly. By your side, Ralsei shot you a compassionate smile “Well these were probably made by Queen. . .” he explained.

“Who wants to kidnap us” was your argument, looking at the goat with a blank expression.

“Uhm. . .yes?”

“We just got on something our enemy, who want to robotize our face, made to our image and likeness”

“It seems so. . .”

“. . .this is totally a trap”

Not even a second later and a familiar laugh filled the air “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!” followed by Queen herself flying down from the sky in her rocket propelled throne, her cheek was leaning against her right hand while on her left was a (most likely explosive) glass of battery acid “Enough You Foolish Children. I Have Been Merciful To You Thus Far But Now Is Time For:” she lifted her glass “Your Unwillful Imprisonment (Capture).”

Immediately after, three cages fell from the sky completely missing any of you. . .which was kinda sad, and to not say awkward, to witness as. . .well she looked so confident and these carts were definitely some sort of trap so. . .

“. . .err, you missed” Ralsei pointed out what you had not the heart to say “That Was Not A Miss It Was A Tactical Calibration”

Nothing happened for another while, to the point that Susie herself shot Queen a dubious glance “. . .so, uh, are you gonna try it again?”

The blue robot let out a laugh, swirling the battery acid inside her glass and the display on her eyes spelled the word ‘LMAO’ “No I Only Have Like 4 Cages” she then shifted her attention on you “My Dear Beta Character (B), Have You Found The Unfortunate Soul That Wants To Claim You? If You Come With Me There Is The ‘Lost And Found’ Section You Can Stay At”

Deadpanning at this story again, you shook your head “Not at chance in hell”

. . .

. .

“...............Damn”

After that, the five of you stood in an awkward silence as the city sped past in the background and the carts surprisingly didn’t explode yet,

. . .

. .

“Ok Wait” Queen finally broke the silence “I Have A Small Plot Twist For You. Come Forward My. . .Peon” her throne flew to the side, allowing another cart to come from the opposite direction and approach close enough that you easily managed to recognize the monster inside it. Your jaw dropped as you watched Noelle look to the side with a soft blush, her hand covering her mouth “U. . .Um. . .s-sorry, I couldn’t say no”

Susie gasped in surprise “Noelle?!” who just now seemed to notice the purple dino being with your group and her cheeks flushed “H. . .Hi, Susie. Umm, how are you?”

The axe wielding girl looked around awkwardly, a bead of sweat falling down on her temple “Umm, okay I guess?”

Noelle nodded with a nervous smile “Your. . .um. . .roller coaster is, um. . .I like it!”

“Um. . .I like yours too?”

“T-Thanks!”

. . .

. .

“I feel like I’m third wheeling here”

“You Are Right B” Queen agreed after a painfully long moment of silence “This Is Not Working Bring In The Next Guy” as soon as those words left her lips, a new cart sped from the distance– with no intention of slowing down– until it rammed against Noelle’s roller coaster and sending her flying who know where!

You and Ralsei shared disbelieved and concerned expressions.

Nevermind that the one who pushed Noelle off was that damn blue bird that mistaken you for Kris!

“Fear not, my beloved Noelle!” he exclaimed at the top of his lungs, looking so proud and confident you could only wish to have a slice of his ego “This valiant warrior of brave intelligence will be your knight in glow in the dark armor!” he laughed to himself while rocking something that could only be described as a more vibrant and neon first-encounter Vegeta’s armor. He even had the damn one lense that can show him stats!

Susie was the first to recover from the shock “Berdly?! You asked BERDLY to be on your team?!” to which Queen started frenetically shake her head yet still wearing her smile “(I Did Not Ask Him I Did Not Ask Him I Did Not Ask Him)”

The blue bird puffed his chest “That’s LORD Berdly to you simpletons! And soon. . .SUPER Lord Berdly!”

. . .

. .

Susie deadpanned “. . .the hell does that mean?”

Queen display changed into the letters I,D,K and twirled her glass of batter acid “(I Have No Damn Clue Just Go With It)” and the blue bird didn’t even seem to notice the jabs thrown his way as he dramatically turned around to give you four his back “You see, thanks to our WONDROUS Queen. . .WE. . .will soon RULE the WORLD!” his voice boomed so loudly and, not even joking, you were seriously starting to wish to have a tiny piece of his goddamn overconfidence “And turn this land of Fools. . .into Smartopia”

He took a deep breath, closing his eyes like he could already see his vision turn into reality “A true Scientocracy, where the Geniuses of the world can bathe freely in pools of fresh fruits and ambrosia. No longer held back by protozoans like YOU!”

. . .

. .

You jerked your head back to look at Kris, who was already laying their attention on you with the blankest expression you ever seen them doing “Protozoans. . .” you mouthed at them in disbelief. The blue haired teen struggled to not laugh, biting the inside of their cheek “Out of all the things he could call us, protozoans is a first for sure. I need to take a test and see which protozoan I am. . .betting everything on the amoeba”

Kris had to slam their head down, shoulders shaking and long, blue strands of hair barely hiding their concealed grin “And I will certainly be Trypanosoma” you saw them mouth back, glad that the others were too busy with Berdly’s dialogue.

“And the key to that? Is US. Noelle and I!” the blue bird continued “Our power. . .the ‘Light Nerd’s’ power. . .”

Ralsei lifted an eyebrow and awkwardly coughed into his fist “You mean. . .’Lightners’?” his right suggestion earned a scoff from the bird, who turned around to look at the fly robot just behind him “Um, no. Queen said ‘Light Nerds’”

Queen laughed at her own produce and nodded her head “I Actually Did”

The goat’s eyebrows furrowed at the injustice happening right in front of him and tried once again to talk some sense into the other lightner “Berdly, Queen’s just manipulating you!” alas for our hero, it seems that computers are excellent in planning ahead because our dear blue bird was not convinced. “Heh. . .that’s what she SAID you'd say to me!”

Queen laughed and nodded her head “I Actually Did”

Berdly eyes snapped over you and you felt doom wash all over. . .dreading what might he call you next “Now, Kris!”

DANG! He did it again!

“Kris?!” Susie gasped out in confusion, shooting you and the REAL Kris a glance before lifting her eyebrow as her attention shifted back to Berdly and burst out laughing “You must have hit your head pretty damn hard if you confused Kris with this idiot right here!” she pointed her thumb toward you, who had your arms crossed in a X while repeating like an idiot ‘I’m not Kris I’m not Kris I’m not Kris–!’

And what the hell does the other human idiot do instead of helping with the situation?

With the most dramatic gesture, they slowly pushed on of their blue locks behind their ear and placing the other hand on their chest “If you took my last name you would become a little bit of Kris”

. . .

. .

You looked at the dark sky with your hands over your lower face.

This idiot.

“That’s why you have no friend–”

“Kris!” Berdly cut you off, pointing his wing in your direction “Two Krises!?” he then pointed at the real deal, looking initially horrified to the point that he covered his beak “Are my eyes deceiving me? It’s not possible! From my studies. . .humans can’t duplicate themselves! This is something completely extraordinary! A scientific miracle–no! It can’t be. . .there must be a logical explanation. . .”

. . .

. .

“Which is. . .” Ralsei urged with a soft smile.

“Which means that you did the unthinkable Kris!” the bird monster exclaimed in what you could describe as only pure joy and excitement “You managed to split yourself in two people! You created a clone through mitosis! OF COURSE! Oh! What a splendid sight!”

. . .

. .

“....................”

“WHAT!?”

Berdly ignored your outburst and instead sighed happily, stars and flowers appearing all around his head “Yes. . .Kris. . .and Bis. . .”

“BIS?!”

He nodded his head, lifting one wing while the other remained on his chest “Exactly! We have Kris. . .and then of course Bis. What a better name than the latin definition of ‘Two times’ ‘Two things’ ‘The second one’. It’s the perfect scientific name” opening his eyes, literal TEARS rolled down his cheeks “Oh Kris, I must admit I feel pity for you. . .unlike Susie I always saw some potential in you. And I was right, seeing your clone Bis!”

You were too stunned to speak. . .and despite being too stunned to speak. . .something inside you was loud enough to break through your stupor “Why is it so difficult to call me by my goddamn name?!”

Queen sipped her acid battery, enjoying the show going down with amusement “LOL”

You snapped, pointing your finger at the robot “No one uses LOL and LMAO anymore, update yourself!!”

“Sure m8, chill out though gang. You are fr losing your swag”

“THIS IS EVEN WORSE!”

Berdly cleared his throat and put on his best compassionate expression while keeping his focus on the blue haired teen “Join our side, and I might let you scrub our royal toilet!”

✱Join

❤︎Do not join.

“Ah Kris. I suppose I knew you would never amount to much. Well, if you are dead set on proving your inferiority. . .” between Berdly’s hands materialized a fluorescent green and yellow axe, the monster immediately assumed a threatening pose “Allow me to assist you!”

The four of you followed his example, taking out your own weapons while Queen flew off to be out of the fighting range.

And the battle started.

Leaving Kris to make the battle decisions, they suddenly ordered everyone to go and bump against Berdly’s cart. Taking hold of the ship’s wheel, you gathered momentum before slamming yourself against the bird. . .to bad that every single bump was promptly blocked by a shield formed with the light of his glasses. None of your bumps had any effect.

Which meant that now your tiny tiny soul and Kris’s doughnut one had to avoid literal tornados.

“Kris, I get why you are getting in my way! You are jealous, aren’t you?”

✱It seems that Berdly needs to lose focus before you can bump into him.

With this new piece of information, their red eyes immediately snapped over your spot as they lifted their finger dramatically, puffing their chest like they were about to deliver the winning strike.

✱You told ___ to distract Berdly with math questions.

“Uh? Gotta keep the bird busy no? Some dumb math questions aren’t gonna be enough. I have something else which would be much better. Just gotta speak his language” you grinned, planting down your scythe and leaning against it before calling out the monster “Yo, Berdly.

What do mathematicians do after a snowstorm? Make snow angles!”

The bird monster gasped at your pun and immediately went to mutter something under his breath “Was that. . .a math pun? How could it be that Kris’ clone possesses this much intellectual about puns!?”

✱Berdly’s defences are down!

✱The whole gang will attempt to bump into Berdly’s car! [+18%]

And this time it actually worked! The three of them managed to bump their carts against’ blue birdy’s! All you gotta do is keep going and not die!

“Do you know what seems odd to me? Numbers that aren’t divisible by two.”

Berdly dramatically placed his wing against his chest “This is the humor that will reign over Smartopia– only the smartest and most beautifully educated jokes will be laughed at! This! This is what I always dreamed of!”

✱Berdly’s defences are down!

✱The whole gang will attempt to bump into Berdly’s car! [+18%]

“There’s a fine line between a numerator and a denominator… But only a fraction would understand.”

You saw the bird monster wipe away a tear “Oh, maybe I have misjudged you Bis. It’s clear by your higher level of knowledge in puns that you are by far the better clone. . .leave your inferior original and join us! I will make you. . .our jester!”

✱Berdly’s defences are down!

✱The whole gang will attempt to bump into Berdly’s car! [+18%]

“Why shouldn’t you let advanced math intimidate you? It’s really as easy as Pi!”

He nodded his head, completely oblivious to the smoke coming out of his cart “A human of culture I see. . .your potential here is wasted. I’m sure I can convince Queen to spare you one of our rooms if you decide to join us! And maybe she won’t even robotize your face!”

✱Berdly’s defences are down!

✱The whole gang will attempt to bump into Berdly’s car! [+18%]

“What do you call friends who love math? Algebros”

“Oh Bis!” Berdly pushed his glasses higher “Of course I can be your Algebros if you so much wish! Me, Noelle. . .and maybe you will be all Algebros!”

✱Berdly’s defences are down!

✱The whole gang will attempt to bump into Berdly’s car! [+18%]

*BAM!*

Suddenly a weird noise coming from the monster’s cart made him snap out of his daydreaming as he finally noticed the smoke coming from all around “W-What! My coaster, it’s. . .!” it seems like the fight is over “Wh. . .What?! That’s not fair! M. . .My Queen. . .save me!”

And then the cart exploded.

And Berdly went flying away just like Noelle.

. . .

. .

Why is everything here a bomb?

. . .

. .

Queen came back with the same speed of a turtle and worry of someone who is sipping a mojito on the beach. AKA. She don’t give a fuck about the bird “In A Minute Dear” she then shifted her gaze on you four “Hello Everyone I Have Some News Updates. You See. . .” she looked to the side, sipping her glass “This ‘Roller’, ‘Coaster’. . .It’s Not Actually. . .Finished, Yet”

. . .

. .

“WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!” Susie screeched at the top of her lungs.

. . .

. .

“‘Pain’”

Next thing you knew, you were falling into the abyss with no way of saving yourself.

God.

This is what happens to those that make awfully funny puns!

High ︎Risk High Gain (Deltarune xGN!reader)

Chapter 3: It was the damn phone!

❤︎⁠Chapter 4: Bust a Move!

Chapter 5: Rolling down the coasters

—❤︎⁠—

Trying to follow Queen led you, and your little squad, in a new section of the map, which split in three different directions– two of them not even accessible as the top one was blocked by a sort of white barrier made of piano keys while the road below had a treadmill going on the opposite direction. . .which meant that you would be brought back to the point of start.

The only way possible was forward and so you followed Kris, who turned right– just before what looked like a waterfall of white piano keys– and reached a businessman with a triangle as the head and sunglasses. He was looking out in the distance, toward a futuristic city with more lights than souls, his eyebrows furrowed showing him being deep in thought.

Kris approached him, wanting to know what his deal was “I’m the hacker. I’m going after the blue checkmarks. If you guys can find three in the Cyber Field ahead I will join your [City]” he requested– like an NPC giving the player a side quest to earn more points or a special armor “You just look like the kind of folks who have a [Cool City]”

You turned toward the blue haired teen with a confused smile, looking around with hesitation “You. . .you are not really planning on actually searching for these three checkmarks when Noelle is a step away from having her face robotized. . .right?” they turned toward you with a shiteating grin and shrugged their shoulders “What? I want a badass hacker in my city. I can get him to pirate any game I want”

Snapping your head toward the other two companions behind, you pointed your thumb toward Kris “And you guys just follow them without a second thought?” Ralsei gave you a guilty smile, tilting his head to the side “They are really trustworthy so. . .basically yeah” followed by Susie placing an arm over your head and leaning against you “Of course. I mean. . .free games! Who wouldn’t want that?!”

“Well, I’m pretty sure that Kris was joking about that part.” the white goat tried to give the blue haired teen the benefit of the doubt only for them to rub their hands together with a down right devious smirk “Who said that I was kidding?”

“. . .K-Kris?!”

But they were already down the path, high-fiving Susie for the amazing idea of free PC games– leaving poor Rlasei in distress while you sympathetically patted his shoulder before quickly joining the other two back at the intersection.

With nowhere else to go, all you four could do was passing through the falling white keys smashing on the ground mercilessly “Those looks like they hurt if you touch them. . .” you grimaced at the thought which was worsened when Susie let out an obnoxious laugh “That's because they do! This dumbass here went through the honor of receiving a smack on the head so hard I feared they might fall unconscious” her thumb pointed at Kris– who looked away with their cheeks tinted in red from embarrassment.

“So how do we NOT get hurt?” You inquired, feeling bad for the teen. . .yet at the same time almost laughed out loud from the mental image. Ah! That's what they get for eating almost the entire goddamn pie while stabbing the slices and devouring them in such a way.

“I guess we will have to keep our pies–(eyes) on the tiles and knife–(time) our movements right” what could you do? Miss an occasion to pay back the mischievous teen for everything they made you go through? Hell nha.

Your jab wasn't well received, it seemed, has Kris snapped their head toward you so loudly you were afraid to have heard a *Crack* Despite that, you struggled to hide your chuckles. . .on the contrary of Susie who was laughing like her life depended on it and even a soft chuckle from Ralsei. If they understood your innocent jab. . .that means that Kris must be famous with knives and pies. . .just the thought of them eating cakes in such a way. . .made a shiver run down your spine.

Ugh. . .that was criminal.

“Or we run” they suddenly said, snatching your wrist and sprinting right toward the falling tiles– making your heart leap to your throat. . .especially when you two barely dodged one of those things‐ the air brushing your back by mere inches “Are you insane!? Kris!” your protests fell deaf to the ears of the blue devil.

It might have been just your impression, however something in your chest thumped against your ribs and a feeble red glow reached the corner of your eyes. Something that was also happening to the teen before you. A beautiful red heart glowed in the middle of their torso– with a small hole in the center. . .heart shaped too. It looked like a doughnut. It made you smile in amusement.

“The ship goes down with their captain” [¹] You heard them mutter with barely veiled amusement, clearly pointing out how they were leading you to your possible demise– which made you scoff “Wasn’t the say: The captain goes down with their ship?” no answer graced your ears as the both of you (surprisingly) made it to the other side without being hit even one time. A miracle someone would say.

“Slow down you two, damn it! Ralsei has the athleticism of a fluffy stuffed animal” soon enough, Susie managed to reach you– with the poor white goat over her shoulder and a couple of hair strands missing from the very close calls they had to go through. You watched as Ralsei was trying to catch his breath and for a second you thought you saw his eyes in the shape of swirls.

Continuing your exploration, you guys ended up finding the first checkmark rather easily– much to your surprise actually. You weren’t sure what you imagined they looked like, nor the place they could’ve been hidden. . .however a red chest was surely the last thing you expected.

Then you followed a path leading to three different rotation cups and three robots by their sides– spitting out some riddle about choosing the right ride. And, it might be your impression, however they were. . .giving dirty looks to your team? Oh no. . .don't tell me these are actually willing peons of Queen! You smell a boss battle.

Kris ignored them and instead approached the first ride, noticing only now that there were only three seats and four of you “Oh my. . .will some of us have to stay down?” Ralsei wondered with furrowed eyebrows “Maybe we can take turns and two of us go up, then the ride comes down and the other two do the same!” his suggestion looked like a solution to your problem. . .

“That’s it, assuming that this thing can come down. . .” Susie pointed out, prompting the young goat monster to deflate and mutter under his breath a quiet “Right. . .I didn’t think of that. . .” he looked around, trying to spot a staircase or another way only to be disappointed when nothing caught his eyes “I also don’t want to leave someone down alone. . .what if Queen comes back and kidnaps them?”

The idea of being separated once again, left a bad taste in your mouth which prompted your features to grimace in a scowl “Two of us will have to share a tea cup, no other way around” as soon as these words left your lips, Susie abruptly sprinted toward the tea cups– screaming at the top of her lungs something akin to ‘Last to get on the cups has to stand on the center and try not to fall!’ which, unconsciously, pushed a deeper part of you to actually move your legs and try to race her. . .the good old teenage competitive nature!

Susie jumped on the first empty cup, colliding against the ceramic walls before standing up and cheering with her fists to the sky “I won! First!” you were immediately behind her, getting inside the other cup with a prideful ‘Huff’ “Yeah, you just won a concussion– you dived inside that cup like there was tiramisu in it” and the third cup had been occupied by Ralsei, who acted like a normal, respectful person and simply got on it “Hey, if you guys wish I can make a tray of tiramisu once we go back to Castle Town”

All that was left was Kris, still standing in their place and simply watching the chaos unfold “Hey Kris! What are you doing frozen like a block of ice? You were even beaten by Ralsei!” Susie teased them, earning a shocked gasp from the prince himself “What is that supposed to mean?” which she ignored in favor of rolling her eyes and pat the outside of the tea cup with her hand “No matter, you have to choose who to share the seat with. . .the second unfortunate loser”

Kris looked at the choice available.

✱Ride the tea cup with Ralsei.

✱Ride the tea cup with Susie.

❤︎Ride the tea cup with ____.

An amused scoff left your lips but you still scooted over to make some space “Is this you still being petty about my amazing puns?” you lifted an eyebrow, watching as they made themselves comfortable by your side, the part of their armor pressing against you– cold and smooth as the both of you still tried to make as much space as physically possible for a cup barely bigger than a cart “Maybe?” they quipped back, though it almost sounded like they weren’t sure about their own words or choices.

However, you couldn’t brood on it as the ride started spinning around, forcing you to grip the sides in ceramic while trying to not accidentally fly out into the void. . .which had been completely useless as, once reached the top, the tea cups abruptly stopped their motions– psych doing the rest and spitting everyone out as if you tasted like lemons.

Ouch. . .why do you always happen to land as gracefully as a rat?

The road went further down, opening a clearing with a puzzle positioned right in the center. You left Kris dealing with it as you, Susie and Ralsei simply stood to the side and rested your aching limbs. Thankfully that your leader is smart (at least puzzle smart) and, despite a couple of failed attempts, they managed to replicate the word written on the screen. . .

‘GIASFELFEBREHBER’

. . .

. .

Charming.

Oh, and you also got the second blue checkmark.

You all made your way back to the tea cups, once again racing to get a spot and, once again, Kris arrived last which meant they had to choose someone to share the cup again.

✱Ride the tea cup with Ralsei.

✱Ride the tea cup with Susie.

❤︎Ride the tea cup with ____.

“Of course you would choose me, after all my cup-sharing-experience it’s nothing but a five star experience” you chuckled, dramatically sprawling yourself all over the seat and looking as smug as ever– which earned a scoff from Susie and a giggle from Ralsei “These are not taxis” the purple monster placed her feet over the rim of the cup to which you rolled your eyes “Mine it’s one”

Kris made their way inside the small cup, looking confused and maybe a bit ashamed of their decision– or more like– about the decision taken. Bodies cramped and a near encounter with your face and the pavement later, you reached the second set of cups. Once again only three of them were present.

Kris ended up being the one to choose.

✱Ride the tea cup with Ralsei.

✱Ride the tea cup with Susie.

❤︎Ride the tea cup with ____.

“Should I start making you pay rent or what?” leaning over the rim of the cup, you let your arms dangle while lifting your eyebrows teasingly– which earned a stiff nod from Kris, who looked at the verge of genuinely choking someone with their own hands. . .and from the look of it, they wanted to make it hurt. Their cheeks so red they were visible against the blue of their skin.

At the top of the ride stood a red chest, with inside it another blue checkmark. . .making them 3 out of 3 checkmarks found. That means that the hacker will join your [Cool City]. . .which means free online games!

. . .

. .

“Do you want me to make space for you?”

✱Ride the tea cup with Ralsei.

✱Ride the tea cup with Susie.

❤︎Ride the tea cup with ____.

“Shut up. . .”

From the tea cup to your left, Ralsei chuckled under his breath “Well, since you always choose to ride the tea cup with ___. . .I don’t think there would be the need for you to keep choosing Kris. . .or for us to race each time. . .” he muttered the last part– just as Susie let out a satisfied yawn “Hell yeah! That means more space for me” and sprawled herself all over the tea cup like it was her personal couch. Meanwhile Kris remained dutifully silent at the two monster words before directing their gaze over you, with a quiet pray for you to be against or angry– only for your to just shrug “At this point I would feel lonely without you by my side”

✱Your settings are now permanently blocked on the choice ‘Ride the tea cup with ____’ for the next cup rides.

Their cheeks tinted a soft pink.

Kris is gonna kill that goddamn bastard playing with their life..

Riding the third cup brought you to a platform. Out of nowhere something– or better yet, someone came down flying over an electronic keyboard with rockets at the bottom. He was a greyish robot with a black cap over his speaker-like head and singular yellow eye in the middle. You already saw him somewhere. . .wait, wasn’t he one of the three robots at the base of the tea-cup rides? And WAIT!

Why is your and Kris’ chest glowing faintly? AND WAIT!

Are those the same white tiles that almost crushed you?!

He is trying to get you killed!

Dodging any upcoming attack had never been more stressful. . .not only because you had never had to run around and fight for your life but also because those damn tiles were really fast and really big and really a lot!

Thankfully your personal hell came to an end when the platform reached the other side of the cliff and your small group made your ways to a more stable ground, while the speaker-robot backed away until his flying keyboard hit the wall behind his back– shaking and making him lose his balance before falling down face first on the floor. You watched with a little pity the flying keyboard going away up, up into the sky.

Damn. . .that looked way cooler than Queen throne. . .you expected it to explode though.

“D-Dead end. . .!” the robot jumped on his feet after the dreadful fall, his attitude and choice of words irking Susie past the point of no return "Alright, what’s the deal twerp?!” however he didn’t appreciate the name at all “Who’s a twerp?! The name is Sweet!”

“Oh, like suite?” Ralsei wondered with a smile.

“Oh, like. . .sweets?” Susie wondered with narrowed eyes.

You looked at the two of them like they just grew another head “It’s. . .it’s pronounced the same–why does it even matter!?”

Sweet shook his head, lightly tapping the front tap of his cap with a joyful expression. . .or as joyful as a robot with no mouth and an eye can make “Don’t tell me you haven’t heard of the Sweet Cap’n Cakes?!” he sounded like the very thought of you guys missing something so famous could be a crime.

Ralsei chuckled awkwardly, closing his eyes and tilting his head to the side “Uhm, doesn’t ring a bell”

Sweet literally fell on his ass from surprise, his cap laying on the ground as if a strong wind knocked it away “G-Guess our act’s still a bit underground. . .Sweet Cap’n Cakes!” he jumped back his feet with determination “Not only are we Cyber Field’s BEST musical trio. . .we’re also the last resistance against the big bad Queen and all her crew!”

Hey. . .maybe they aren’t actually that ba–

“And that starts with resisting YOU!”

. . .

. .

Yeah no, someone pours water on this damn speaker.

“What?! We’re fighting Queen, too!” Susie immediately protested, completely enraged by the accusation– however Sweet shook his head, sticking with the evil-Lightners version “Nuh-uh-uh! Cap’n saw you help her kidnap some girl! And that!” he suddenly pointed at you “You clearly also kidnapped that babe right there! We saw Queen give them to you all wrapped like a nice gift. Obviously some sort of exchange!”

Your face was indescribable, shocked beyond understanding.

“Hey! Hey, Cap!” at the call of Sweet, another robot jumped down from the cliff and landed right by his side– with the head shaped like a soundcore boom, a set of headphones and glasses over his eyes, it wasn’t hard to link the two of them together “We won’t let anyone lay a finger on madamoizels and hot babes. . .except us!”

“That’s not the point, Cap’n!” Sweet deadpanned.

“It’s like half the point. 60% 55. . .” Cap argued “We’re rebels, not players!” only for his friend to deny it

“We’re rebels that play!” Cap insisted.

“We don’t play! We don’t play!” Sweet was on the last wire.

Finally the headphones robot had enough “That’s it! K_K! Get over here!” a third robot jumped down from the cliff and landed just behind the two others. He was definitely taller and green with his head shaped like a CD player “K_K, are we players?!” Cap questioned, to which his green friend didn’t waste even a second to answer “. . .”

“I’m a CD player”

And, suddenly music came out from his head and both him and the rest of the robots broke into a dancing session, so engrossed in themselves that they didn’t even notice when your little group started slowly backing away– opting to use your secret technique given down from generation to generation. . .get the hell out of this circus.

Too bad, like always, your amazing technique doesn’t work.

“Wait! They are getting away!” the speaker robot pointed out, snapping out his sunglasses friend who casually shrugged “Sweet, chill. There’ll be other bad guys!” however he didn’t seem to want to listen and instead directly pointed at you “No! We can’t let them get away with Babe! We have to save them!”

Susie slammed her axe down in frustration, creating an indent on the ground “Why. The. Hell. Do you think we kidnapped them!?” she asked, threatening to snap any second now. The best course of action would be to try and calm her. . .

“Well, technically you guys did kidnap me from the mausoleum. . .”

. . .by pouring more gasoline on the open fire.

Susie looked at you like she wanted to chew your face off.

Both Cap'n and Sweet gasped, having their theory proven correct by the source themselves just fueled their determination on doing the correct thing as rebels “Have you heard it!? We absolutely can't let them get away!” Sweet exclaimed “Don't worry Babe! Sweet Cap'n and Cakes will rescue you!” Cap proclaimed, lifting his sunglasses and giving you a wink.

“Why are you guys calling them ‘Babe’?” Kris muttered between clenched teeth.

Ohhhhh they are calling you Bab–. . . .wait. . .this is another nickname with B isn't it?

Cap snapped his fingers “Because we save madamoizels, hottest and babes! Now K_K! Play some battle music!”

Next thing you knew, the surroundings changed abruptly as Susie and Kris took out an axe and sword respectively– making you blink in utter confusion “Uh? Uh? Hu? UH?!” and now what the hell is going on?! Where were you? And why does your party have some sick ass weapons with them?!

“Hey Babe, is this your first time doing an encounter?" Cap called out, shifting from place to place following the rhythm of the music “Look! They are so confused! Don’t worry, we will be quick and fast!” K_K exclaimed with a huge grin “That’s the same thing K_K. Let’s just kick some asses, hopefully not hot stuff asses though” Sweet ended up, clapping his hands as white music notes came out of nowhere and toward you four.

Immediately you dodged everything thrown at you, almost stumbling a couple of times “Uh?!”

“Oh no, I should’ve explained everything before we could’ve met an enemy. I’m so sorry” Ralsei apologised to you, bowing his head slightly and looking genuinely remorseful especially when he noticed your health. His eyes literally widened like tennis balls “Oh dear! Only 20 hp out of 120?! Have you got hurt while exploring the Dark World?”

You aren’t actually sure of what he was talking about, and can’t exactly remember if or how you could’ve gotten so hurt to have more than half of your health bar missing. Maybe it happened when you fell down? You aren’t exactly famous for your landings so it might be because of that. . .however. . .just 20 hp is really low. You were a spit away from dying for real.

“No matter! I will heal you!” Ralsei declared, lifting his paw in which a green orb slowly came to life before floating in your direction and hitting your chest– exploding in thousands of green particles that danced around you, bringing an odd relief to your muscles. The white goat beamed with a nice smile “There we go–” only to cut himself off when he noticed that nothing about your hp actually changed despite him healing you. . .he was sure he healed you!

However you were still only 20 hp out of 120.

“Oh no. . .it’s the same thing with Kris. . .I can’t heal them past 100 hp despite them having 120. . .” the prince muttered to himself with clear sadness and worry, questioning his years spent learning healing magic “Perhaps the dark fountain has something to do with this disturbance. . .? This is not normal. . .”

You eyed the way his shoulders dropped, feeling the heart inside your chest clench with something foreign– sadness. . .but not quite sadness. . .then your gaze traveled back toward the dancing trio and at the previous attacks. Something inside you pulsed with the feeling of bravery and you cracked your hands before letting them fall down by your side “It’s fine if you can’t heal me Ralsei. . .” the tips of your fingers became tingling.

“All I have to do is to not get hit! There is nothing to be afraid of!” and lifted your hand toward the three robots with a determined expression painted over your features. In front of you Cap chuckled, lifting his sunglasses a bit “Man, that’s the spirit I want to see on a future rebel!! And that weapon? Babe you are killing it!”

His words initially confused you until your eyes landed on the scythe between your fingers, the curved blade pointed toward your enemies and a lantern hung on the head of it– swinging from side to side with a soft glow. Did you. . .did YOU do this?! Is this YOUR badass weapon?!

“Of course you better dodge those weak attacks” you heard Susie let out a loud laugh “Because I won’t save your ass once again, B. . .no matter how cool your weapon might be” at the compliment you felt your cheeks heat up against your consent and you looked away in embarrassment “Same goes to you Susie”

The purple monster just laughed once again, slamming the axe on the ground “As if”

It was now your group's turn to act.

Kris lifted their finger and pointed at Cap.

✱You told Susie, Ralsei and ____ to dance.

Immediately after, the blue human and two monsters got down to bust some moves with the first one doing literally ‘Rasputin’, Susie lifting her legs and arms up and down rhythmically and Ralsei awkwardly moving from side to side. However, when they noticed you being the only one not acting as Kris requested, they sent you questioning stares— making you blush at the attention.

“Well. . .I know I learnt to not question whatever you heroes are doing and yada yada. . .but hum. . .” your face heats up even further as the next words slipped past your lips like an embarrassing secret “I actually don’t know how to dance. . .” which was totally fair, till the other day you were trapped inside a casket. How could you have known how to dance?!

Ralsei stepped closer, noticing your nervous expression and the way you were slowly pulling away before offering you a gentle smile and taking your hands in his “It’s okay if you don’t know how to do something. Don’t look so beaten down for it. . .that’s why we are here after all! Look! I will teach you! All you have to do is listen to some music. . .” he then dragged you closer as he started spinning around with you following his lead “And let yourself go!”

Your fingers squeezed his at the initial shock before finally allowing yourself to relax and actually enjoying the moment “Hey! This isn’t actually that bad!”

✱____ has learnt how to dance.

The robot trio attacked you four once again, prompting you to dodge all the notes and beats thrown into your way. You received a couple of close calls but thankfully Susie somehow always managed to yank you out of the way in time.

✱You told Susie, Ralsei and ____ to dance.

Grabbing Ralsei hands, you spun around with him once again while your other two companions did their own little solo dances. Cap’n, Sweet and K_K couldn't help themselves at the sight of people dancing to the rhythm of their music and soon enough even them joined your little party and they themselves danced. . .to the point that they completely forgot the fact that this was indeed a battle!

You took this as your little squad winning over them.

“Hey, losers! Wrap it up! Battle is over!” Susie called out with a smug smirk, which made the three robots snap out of their dancing little world to gasp in surprise “Over?” K_K repeated like an echo “In other-type words. . .” Cap kept going “We lost?!” Sweet concluded.

. . .

. .

“.............”

“Does that mean we can be friends?”

“K_K! NO!”

You frowned in disappointment, the scythe in your hands disappearing before you could think twice “Aww, but I wanted to be friends. . .you guys look like cool robots” your statement was followed by Cap snapping his fingers “Yeah, Fighting’s not really my style anyway. . .I rather spend my days with babes”

“That’s because you are a coward!” Sweet scolded him harshly before quickly looking at you and tipping his cap upward “Thanks Babe, you are also cool. And I mean. . .it was fun dancing, but. . .”

K_K approached him, placing a comforting hand over the shoulder of the shorter robot “Sweet. Don’t worry. I think our dancing beat them” Cap nodded his head in agreement “Yeah! Mercy-style. See, when we danced with them, it convinced them we’re cool”

“Now they are on our side?” Sweet wondered.

“Yes”

He then turned toward your group “Hey!! You four!! Welcome to the good side!”

“We ARE the good side!!” You and Ralsei had to stop Susie from making her way toward the three robots and take a bit of their faces.

“Let’s ronday-voo at our Junk Shop” Cap proposed, earning several nods of agreement “We jammed the door shut, but we’ll kick it open!” Sweet added before the cool flying piano came back to get the robot trio and fly them away– them waving down with a promise of seeing each other again.

However now, you need to find a way to get a map of this forsaken place so you can reach Noelle.

MC: Kris? Why did you just tell me to yell 'Six Seven' and move my arms up and down?

Kris *choking the SOUL behind their back*: Don't listen to it. It's the demon inside me.

MC:. . .uh?

A/N: the SOUL being Kris’s biggest op will never not be SO funny to me OMFG I love their beef so much. But it makes me wonder. . .why is the Player so interested on MC? Are they trying a new route? Is MC their fav character or. . .nhaa. . .it can't be that surely.

High ︎Risk High Gain (Deltarune xGN!reader)

Chapter 2: Never trust the quiet kid

❤︎⁠Chapter 3: It was the damn phone!

Chapter 4: Bust a Move!

—❤︎⁠—

When the divine light disappeared, you found yourself in front of the closet once again– hand stretched forward like you were about to grab something and halted mid action which left you staring at the door dumbly. Processing exactly the fever dream you just went through.

. . .

. .

“She really pushed me!” you gasped to no one in particular, snapping your head to the right and to the left– like you wanted to make sure others saw this shit. However, thankfully, no one was around to witness your psychotic breakdown otherwise you might be diagnosed with insanity “I–there was NO reason to push me!” stepping back, your features fell into a deadpan. . .a little ticked off by the whole ordeal.

Either way all you could do at the moment is to wait for them to finish whatever hero things they need to do.

How could you kill time in the meantime? Would someone get mad if you explored the school? Maybe find which classroom Toriel teaches in. . .

“Kris! What happened to you? Your entire look is different! Hair and skin and height! [¹]”

A new voice made you jump out of your skin and snap your head back, your eyes landing on the deer girl you saw briefly while being dragged by the brunette toward the closet. Her fur was caramel colored, with light dots on the tip of her ears and cheeks. On the top of her head rested two antlers, peeking from the golden strands of her long hair. “I–uh. . .--” you tried to explain yourself when a blue bird jumped out of nowhere “My dear Noelle! What might have passed through your head to come here, when the exit of the school is on the other way!” he dramatically posed.

“It almost seems like you were trying to avoid me! Of course you wouldn’t and it must have been. . .” his gaze snapped over you, mid escape attempt to avoid whatever this interaction was. Instead, the bird monster blinked his eyes before dramatically pointing his fingers in your direction “You! Kris!”

“NOT Kris!” you crossed your arms in an X motion with sweat dripping down your temple. Sure, you might be wearing basically their clothes and, sure, they might have been the only human. . .but there is no way monsters confuse you for them!

“. . .” the bird narrowed his eyes “You look different”

“Because I’m not Kris!”

“Ah whatever! You are probably trying to make yourself cuter because that’s the only way for you to lift your grades. . .or more pathetic. I can’t understand what vibe you are going for” he hummed, rubbing a finger beneath his beak pondering on the answer to this new look. . .not like you might be a completely different person. Not at all.

He then turned toward Noelle, not paying any mind to your bewildered expression “Noelle! We need to go to the library and finish our group project! You can’t possibly think of losing our precious time talking to such simpleton, you know they are a lost cause!” then, he turned on his heels and marched toward the school exit “Let’s show them our team is the superior one!”

. . .

. .

“.................”

You shifted your gaze toward the deer monster, also known as Noelle, and she looked away with red cheeks “You know. . .that I’m not Kris, right?” pointing out the obvious made them get even warmer than they were before a cough cut through the air and she stammered, playing with her fingers “Yeah, I–. . .ehm. . .I caught that with the fact that you strung more than four words together”

The blunt jab toward the brunette made you grin and scoff out a chuckle “Can’t blame ya. Half of the time you need to decipher whatever riddle they throw at you” the words made Noelle choke out a giggle, trying to cover her mouth with her hand “You think that after being neighbors all our life I would be a bit better than other people” her eyes shifted to the side “But it’s like every time I manage to crack open a box, there is another one made of metal”

Oh? So this deer and Kris are neighbors? She lives inside that huge manor you saw?

“Anyway! Are you their friend? My name is Noelle Holiday. I have never seen another human that wasn’t Kris. . .so I apologize for confusing you with them” she extended her hand for you to take, which you did with a grin over your lips and exchanged your own name “You could call me something like that, yeah. Susie and them found me one day and decided to kidnap me”

The name of the purple monster seemed to make Noelle gasp in surprise, a shaky smile on her lips and the red on her cheeks intensifying “You know Susie?” the reaction made you raise an eyebrow, which immediately prompted the deer to look away with an awkward laugh and proved your doubts even more. Someone got a crush on the purple dino.

“I mean. . .if you see her. . .” Noelle looked away with a shy smile “Would you be able to get her to go to the library?”

You grinned and made an ‘OK’ sign “You got that, miss” it didn’t matter since you still needed to go to the library either way for your mausoleum research.

The blonde girl chuckled “You even act a bit like Kris. . .” then mumbled under her breath “Not sure if that’s a good thing to be honest. . .” and then raised her head, flashing you a grateful smile “Thank you so much, ___! I better go before Berdly wonders if I've been kidnapped by an evil robot. . .or whatever it is he talked to me about. . .”

And, just like that, you waved her goodbye as she sprinted toward the school exit. Leaving you alone.

Ahhhhh finally peace and quie–

“Sup loser! We are back!”

You flinched so hard that you ended up splattering on the ground with a loud ‘THUD’! Limbs crossed one over the other and face pressed on the hard, cold floor. Susie and Kris gazed at the sight presented in front of them– at the immaculate form– at the gracefulness that you graced them with. . .and exchanged glances.

❤︎Show solidarity

✱Step around.

Kris walked near your dead body, before letting themselves also fall down face first in a mess of limbs by your side.

You appreciated that.

“...........” Susie looked around before stepping over your bodies “Weirdos”

You didn’t appreciate that.

—✧—

“Librarby. . .”

You read the big ass sign posted over the building.

“We don’t talk about that” Kris muttered with a deadpan expression, watching as Susie marched inside and motioned you two to follow. . .so that’s exactly what you did– especially after she flashed those sharp looking teeth. The inside of the library wasn’t anything special, a bit bland in your opinion, with just a couple of bookshelves, a singular table and some stairs that led to the second floor. You are not sure how much you can find to be honest. . .

Susie walked over some shelves and took a random encyclopedia “Books. God. Damn. Crazy about them” she replied sarcastically, turning the one between her hands over before throwing it over her shoulder and shifting her gaze around– narrowing her eyes when she noticed that there was something off “Hey guys. . .where the hell IS everybody?” then she walked closer, hands over her hips “Something seems kinda off. . .”

“Maybe they are on break?” you proposed, which made Susie cross her arms, turn around once more. . .before rushing toward the computer room “Screw it, let's just go play Space Pinball in the computer lab–!” yet, when her hands slammed open the doors of said laboratory– instead of being met with computers and all sorts of technological devices– only pure darkness welcomed you three. The same darkness that you previously saw in the closet leading to Ralsei kingdom.

“Another Dark World?” you muttered in awe, missing the way Susie backed away in shock and threw a glance toward Kris to confirm that she wasn’t seeing things. No, this looked like the first time they entered a Dark World. . .this looks like yesterday as they fell in Lancer kingdom. . .this looks like. . .a new adventure. And if there is another Dark World, there is gonna be another Dark Fountain they need to close for the peace of the world or whatever Ralsei said!

“Guess this means that we can’t do all that research thing, ya know?” Susie smirked, cracking her fists before shooting you a glance “Sorry B, it seems that the world is in need of our assistance. . .”

“B?” you deadpanned at the weird way she called you.

“Short for Zombie” Kris exclaimed (more like muttered in your ear) which prompted you to send an unamused glare at the dark haired girl. Of course it was something correlated to this stupid zombie thing!

“. . .and either way, we can’t find out more about you if half of the things are hidden because of this Dark World” she patted your back with a smug grin “So leave it to us. We are gonna enter, seal the damn fountain and come back before you can blink just. . .relax on a chair and read a book” you stared at her like she grew another head. The fact that the two of them would go and risk their lives while you are bound to stay in a plastic chair bored out of your mind. . .you couldn’t stomach it at all. Truly.

It was like your mouth was full of tiny pins.

“No” you stepped back, pushing away the dark haired girl’s arm who blinked her eyes in surprise “No?” your own answer echoed with her voice and you used this opportunity to keep going and not let yourself be intimidated, taking all the courage in yourself– you looked directly in Susie’s eyes “You heard me. If you guys go there. . .I’m coming too. I’m gonna help seal the fountain”

. . .

. .

“Eheh” the purple monster chuckled, giving you her back “Perhaps I had not been clear enough” then she turned around, grabbing the front of your sweater and lifting you in the air, close enough that if she wished for she can and will bite your head off “This adventure-in-the-Dark-World is a me and Kris thing. The only motive that you know about it, it’s because we made the mistake of believing you to be a darkner. You know nothing and this is of zero importance to you. Now back off” she growled in a threatening manner.

You bit your tongue with barely veiled anger “Go and argue with a damn wall!” now grabbing her white shirt back– like that would do something other that look theatrical “This DOES concern me as it’s my only way to discover more about myself. If this Dark world keeps locked information that I need. . .then the only way for me to get them is to seal this fountain! So, no. I’m gonna come whenever you want it or not”

“...........” a couple of seconds went by painfully slow, that damn grin now strained, jaw clenched and eyes narrowed “You are gonna die in ways that you can’t imagine”

But you were ready, you felt brave enough to go through anything that will be thrown at you “It’s not like I have much to lose anyway”

. . .

. .

“.........”

“Whatever” Susie suddenly said, letting you fall on your ass and turning toward the computer lab “Forgot that we found you inside a cemetery. . .it wouldn’t surprise me if you are used to death or if killing you is impossible” she sent you another sharp grin before jumping inside the dark void “Try to keep up, B!” you pushed your legs forward, watching with wide eyes as she disappeared.

Then you felt a presence approaching you from behind, and when you lifted your gaze– a hand was stretched toward you and Kris' grin welcomed you first thing “Let’s go then?” you eyed their hidden expression for a couple of seconds before wrapping your own fingers with theirs and nod “After what I said to Susie? You won’t catch me dead backing off now”

And with that, the brunette also jumped inside the void together with you by their side as darkness wrapped around your vision.

You fell for what felt an eternity and, for a second, your fingers accidentally let go of Kris– leaving you completely alone. Not even Susie’s laughters could reach your ears and, before you could think of calling out for any of them, your body collided against something solid which made you groan in pain. . .you need to work on your landings.

You can't keep getting concussions.

Your eyes opened once light graced them and you sat up, rubbing your poor shoulder while looking at yourself. Yep. . .those are the same clothes you found yourself in when you met Ralsei for the first time. Is it like. . .necessary the change of clothes. . .like magical girls or something. Does EVERYONE change clothes or just the heroes?

No time to wonder about that. Not when you are completely alone in what looked like a dystopia, futuristic, technological setting. Nothing similar to Ralsei's kingdom.

“So” you looked around, scratching the back of your head “When I said that I wished for peace and quiet. . .” Noticing the cracks on the green floor which you could only theorize being made by something either heavy or deadly “I didn’t mean in a world where every step could be my last. . .” The fact that you already lost Kris and Susie not even a second after entering the Dark World could be classified as a C Rank misfortune.

What should you do? Staying still like a baby is not gonna work. . .however neither will aimlessly wander around. Susie said that sealing a fountain will close a Dark World and bring everything back to normal, so it’s safe to assume that you are bound to cross paths if you reach that same fountain. It felt like a solid plan. All you got to do now was–

“OhOhOhOhOhOhOh”

. . .

Why do you hear boss music?

Turning around, the sight of a. . .--woman/robot/thinghy laughing obnoxiously while holding a glass of radioactive green liquid– welcomed you. She was sitting on a dark blue throne with a rocket placed underneath it, which allowed her to fly in the air and look high and mighty “What’s Decoding Good Looking? Lmao”

You eyed her with a disbelieved expression.

“What? Still Loading The Main Menu?” the robot inquired, the screen over her eyes turning on to display several red question marks. After yet another second of your neurons trying to catch up with what you were seeing, you shook your head and pointed your finger at her “And who are you?!”

The robot didn’t seem phased by your outburst and instead sipped from her glass “Initiate Presentation Cut Scene. . .Again” before you could question the words, she threw the glass near your feet– which exploded upon impact making you jump in the air “I Am Known As Serial Number Q5U4EX7YY2E9N. But You– Yet Another Foolish Child– Can Call Me ‘Queen’” immediately after, a neon screen appeared beside her head, the words ‘Queen’ beeping green with an arrow pointing toward her.

. . .

. .

You looked around, confused and hesitant “Queen. . .”

“Would You Like To Watch The Cut Scene Again?”

“NO!”

You don’t fancy another glass exploding mere inches from you. Instead you coughed in your fist and looked around once again at the place you landed into “Soooooooo. . .Queen. . .is this like, your kingdom or something? Since you are called ‘Queen’. . .and are flying in a throne and. . .you look. . .ehm. . .very regal” The screen over Queen’s eyes turned on once again to display the letters ‘Nice’ and she laughed “We Got Einstein Here”

You’ve heard that phrase already. . .

“Exactly, You Foolish Child, I’m The Queen Of This World And All The Citizens Are My ‘Willing’ Peons. . .Or Will Be With Their Next Upgrade” red screens appeared all around her with the image of earth and a smiley face over them “In My Quest For World Domination!” Oh, of course you just had to meet the final boss as the first entity in this bizarre world. Just your horrible luck.

Queen turned her head toward you “Knowing This –And Your 0 Chances To Beat Me Lol– Do You Wish To Become My Willing Peon, Foolish Child. . .Ehm. . .I Can’t Find Your Name In My Database. . .Whatever. I’m Gonna Call You ‘B’. Short For Beta Character! [²]” she announced, proud with herself for this new development, you– however– were horrified “I Might Not Even Turn Your Face Into A Robot One”

You were really horrified!

“Wait! Pause! Break! Halt! Hiatus! Hold-up! Hold on! Stop! Sit tight! Keep your wires in check!” you sputtered out, lifting your arms like that could help your case in any way. It seemed to stun Queen long enough to leave her without any pre-made cut scene she could throw in your face. Even the fire under her rocket throne went still “. . .Go On”

“You are a robot right?” just as those words left your lips, on the screen over her eyes appeared a giant X followed by the sound of a horn “Wrong. I’m A: Computer (Smart). The Opposite Of You: Child (Dumb)”

You weren’t a child but. . .whatever at this point. Anything to not have your face turned into a robot one.

“Queen, you are really smart–”

“True”

“So, I have a deal to propose” you took a deep breath, if you have to be in a shitty position. . .you will get the most out of it. After all, didn’t you go to the library to find answers to your questions? Might as well do that now. “Since you are smart and know everything!” you watched as her chest puffed with pride with another glass of green liquid already resting between her fingers– which came out of nowhere “I Do! I Do!” followed by laughter.

“I will become your willing peon if you are able to help me find the person that has hopes for me. You see, I got lost and can’t find them anywhere. If you can help me, I will aid you in your world domination plan!” you exclaimed, pointing your finger at her.

“OhOhOhO–” Queen cut herself off.

. . .

. .

“........”

She looked around in deadly silence as you started sweating from nervousness “.............I Mean” she looked around, twirling the green liquid in the glass “I Mean………You Mean……….Well…….” her throne turned left, right, left, back, right, front, back, before she graced you once again with her attention “Look. . .B. . .I’m A (Computer). . .Not A Global Positioning System (GPS). I Don’t Find People Or Things, Otherwise I Wouldn’t Lose Dear Noelle Each Time!”

At the familiar name, your eyes widened in surprise. Noelle. . .she was the blonde deer monster, no? Kris’s neighbor and classmate! She is also in this Dark World? She did tell you that she was going to the library. . .in that case. . .oh no. Hopefully her face hasn’t been turned into a robot one!

“But, Oh Well! If All I Have To Do To Make You My Willing Peon Is Find That Poor Idiot You Are Stuck To. . .” suddenly, a wire came down from the sky upon Queen’s gesture. The cord wrapped around your arms and then tugged up, making you bite back a curse and not so nice words “I Will Just Dump You Into The Lost And Found!” Queen laughed at your struggles, the rocket under her chair increased power as she downed the rest of the glass before throwing it over shoulder– which exploded not even a second later–

“Onward My Future Willing Peon!”

“This is not very much willing!”

She flew away in a roar of laughter as the wires dragged you behind. The scenery wasn’t that different, always the same green labyrinth with wires hanging from the dark sky– monsters that you had never seen before roaming around, some terrified, others wearing the same cord trapping you over their faces. The little journey lasted maybe a couple of minutes before you heard Queen exclaim “(Gasp!)” and fly down on a platform with a cage right in the middle.

The wire around your body followed her.

“Noelle Honey!” She cooed, jumping down from the throne– which actually exploded– and walked closer to the poor deer trapped inside the cage. She wasn’t wearing her school outfit and instead a long white dress, making her look like a pretty ice princess. You saw her flinch at the robotic voice of Queen, jumping in her spot and turning around. . .just in time to see you suspended by a wire at the robot’s side “_-____!?”

All you could offer her was a nod “Sup Noelle. . .” before Queen pushed you away, making you spin around “Noelle. . .Noelle Christmas Bell! Noelle Excel! Noel In A Nutshell! Become My Willing Peon And I Will Free You” she explained while you kept spinning off screen “All You Have To Do Is Hit Yes On The Peon Release Form”

The deer casted her eyes on you with worry, not sure what she could do for you and instead opted to re-direct her focus on the darkner that kidnapped her “I. . .I’m scared. . .” the fear in her voice didn’t seem to register for the computer “Oh Have You Never Signed A Form Before?” Noelle held her hair in pure frustration “No! It’s everything else that’s scary! Why is ___ tied up?!”

Queen did not look bothered in the slightest “Please Abort Your Sadness Protocol. I Told You Being A Peon Will Be Cool” then she turned toward you “And B Is A Little Lost. I’m Searching For Someone To Claim Them So They Can Become My Willing Peon!”

“B?!” Noelle gasped in confusion.

“My name is ____!” you kicked your dangling legs in frustration.

Just then, several footsteps echoed in the distance before the hero-trio reached your small group, with blue-Kris leading the pack. The first to notice the bright cage was Susie, who shouted in surprise “Noelle!” the deer stuttered in surprise “S-Susie! Kris!” which made the dark haired girl smirk smugly “Don’t worry, we won’t let your face get roboticized!”

. . .

. .

“That’s. . .something they are going to do?!”

Oops. . .it seems that she wasn’t aware of that. Then her eyes landed on a rather dangling you “B?!” Stars. . .you never wanted to choke someone more than now. You gave everyone a rather unexcited waved with unamused expression rivaling Kris’s. Susie took a step forward, pointing her finger at you “Hey! Zombie! Didn’t I say to keep up with us and NOT get into trouble? You got kidnapped not even five seconds in!”

By her side, Ralsei closed his eyes trying to find the words to calm down his friend “Come on Susie. . .”

Your eye twitched before you started trashing around so much that Queen had to summon more wires because the one keeping you trapped was coming loose “How do you think I could have escaped when the game threw the final boss in my face before I could even understand where I ended up?!” The blue robot’s screen lit up with the words ‘TRUE’ “I Am The Final Boss”

She turned her head toward the trio “Wait A Minute. . .You ‘Guys’ Know This One? I Am Bringing Them To The Lost And Found For Someone To Claim Them So That They Can Become My Willing Peon” she explained like it was nothing, a hand over her hip “So. . .Like. . .Are They Yours?”

Everyone looked at Kris, waiting to see what their answer would be.

✱Don’t claim them.

❤︎Claim them.

“Amazing!” Queen exclaimed with a laugh, before making a gesture with her hand and the wires trapping you moved with it– sliding over the blue haired teen like a claw machine “Wai–!” you didn’t have time to scream that the cord spun you around to unravel, letting you fall directly in the knight’s arms– which thankfully caught you, avoiding a pancake mess.

✱You have claimed ____ back into the team.

“Thank. . .you. . .Kris. . .” if you had to spill mid air one more time. . .you would puked your guts everywhere.

“Good! Now, B. . .I Found You Someone. Which Means You Have To Become My Willing Peon” a laugh bubbled from Queen’s throat as she covered her mouth the back of her hand, ignoring the weirded out look you were giving her which turned in your eye twitching– close enough for this being your last straw. Ralsei shivered as a metaphorical dark cloud formed around you. “Unfortunately our deal was for you to find the one who has hopes for me– which for your information aren’t they! WHICH MEANS that I won’t have to be you willing peon!”

. . .

. .

“...........Damn”

Queen jerked her hand to the side and the cage with Noelle inside flew away.

. . .

. .

“NOELLE?!”

“W-Wait!” Susie rushed to the border, hoping to see where the blonde girl might have been sent to. However it was too dark to make out anything, which only made the purple monster bit the inside of her cheek in anger "Is It Quite Troubling" Queen cut off the tense, worried silence shared between you four as she frowned with confusion "A Peon Must Be 'Willing' To Assist Me In World Domination. If Only She Had More Peons To Encourage Her"

You and the heroes of the prophecy shared an hesitant look, wondering what the hell this robot was talking about ". . .So?" Susie tried to voice the doubts which made Queen turn around and step closer to you four "So, Like. . .You Guys. . .Hey. . .Are You Like. . .Doing Anything Right Now–"

"We aren't going to help you!!" Ralse cut her off with an angry glare, backed by you "You had you chance with me (unfortunately) but wasted it. No way in hell I'm coming back"

Queen took a step back, an exclamation point appearing on her display "Understood. Mind-Changing Protocol Necessitated" from nowhere, a butler like monster with a red suit dropped down from the sky, a second late followed a silver plate with a cloche on top of it. The butler laid the plate on the ground and lifted the cap, allowing an ARCADE MACHINE to stretch back into normal shape before bowing to everyone present and slide out of screen.

The arcade was blue with red commands and Queen's head right in the middle of the display. Apprehensive but curios, your small group walked closer to the machine to inspect it. . .not find anything out of the ordinary– if we ignore the physics of how was it able to stay inside a cloche.

"A giant arcade game?!" Susie lifted an eyebrow "I Shall Humiliate You At: Simple Children's Diversion" Queen explained, proud of herself "With Your Self-esteem Eradicated There Will Be No Choice But To Serve Me"

Susie freaked out "The hell!? I've never played this one before!" she turned toward you "B! Do you have any idea on how to beat this thing? You are a nerd, no?"

Shaking your head, you crossed your arms in a X "I basically gained consciousness like. . .yesterday– Never played a game in my (short) life. I have the skills of a newborn. . .literally"

By your side, Ralsei gasped– eyeing the blue haired teen with a shy smile "Oh! But Kris is quite good at games, aren't they?" Which prompted Susie to grin and nudge them on their head with her elbow "Oh yeah. Kris, forgot you were a nerd. Show her!"

Is everyone a nerd for Susie?

Puffing their chest with pride, Kris walked over the arcade machine. . . .only to crumple on the ground when they noticed that they weren't tall nor strong enough to use the commands. Oh. . .that. . .that was really sad. . .

"Self-Esteem Eradication Complete" Queen announced without missing a beat "Running Laughing Protocol" she covered the side of her mouth before a pre-recorded laugh come out of her speakers. Which felt more a jab to the teen's pride– who seemed to fold on themselves more.

"Uh. . .ummmm. . .it's ok, Kris. . .err. . .I'm short too" Ralsei tried to comfort them before suddenly gasping in excitement "K-Kris! Wait, I have an idea!! If we combine our powers then we will be able to beat it!" he walked over the arcade machine "Look! I'll show you what I've been practicing!" A bright light enveloped the goat monster, forcing you to close your eyes when it became too much to handle.

Were you about to witness to a magical transformation? Ralsei spoke of powers– Do they have powers!? Oh stars! You are so excited to see some sick ass moves!

The bright light slowly dimmed, leaving you to see–

. . .

. .

"Magical Stool Form R!"

Ralsei acting like a stool.

"............"

Susie clapped her hands with a smug grin "Now we're talking!!! Alright Kris, leave it to me! Put your arms out!" The knight did as instructed while their friend quickly approached them from behind– another light enveloped the both of them before dissipating.

"Power Beast Form S!"

Susie was controlling Kris’s arms.

"............"

You watched the two of them jump over Ralsei, who splattered on the ground, with a blank expression. These. . .These are the heroes of the world– let's remember that.

"Incredible" Queen clapped her hands "Your Transformation Is Combining All Your Weak Points. Self-esteem Crushing Efficiency 300% And Rising"

Not sure if you should just. . .ya know. . .exploit the fact the Queen was distracted to go and search Noelle, you ended up pinching the bridge of your nose and sighed– before walking over the blue haired teen "Hey Kris. . .so. . .do you want me to do anything to help you or distract Queen?"

✱Distract Queen with dumb puns.

✱Cheer for me with pom-poms

Kris bit the inside of their cheek at the choices.

✱Distract Queen with dumb puns.

❤︎Cheer for/ "There is no way I'm gonna do that Kris!" /me with pom-poms

They looked away with cheeks dusting in red from the embarrassment.

✱Distract Queen with dumb puns.

❤︎Cheer for/ "I already said no, buddy. . .don't keep this up" /me with pom-poms

Their cheeks heated even more, feeling like hot fire on their skin while screaming in their head that it wasn't them insisting on this dumb choice. . .actually. . .why the hell is it keeping clicking it!?

✱Distract Queen with dumb puns.

❤︎Cheer for/ "You are doing this on purpose. . ." /me with pom-poms

"Guys?" Susie awkwardly coughed while looking around "Are like. . .humans capable of telepathy or something–? What's going on? You both are standing there in silence like idiots!" she exploded with an angry roar "Humans Do Not Posses Telepathy" Queen confirmed.

"Then stop this bullshit already!"

❤︎Distract Queen with dumb puns.

✱Cheer for me with pom-poms

"Alright Kris!" You grinned, cracking your knuckles before nonchalantly sliding on the other side where the blue robot was "Leave it to me!" Queen lifted an eyebrow, her hands going on the commands "Commence Virtual Combat" and the video game started. Showcasing the avatar of your team character going on a boxing match again a Queen looking looking character.

✱Dodge to the right! Then attack!

"What was the spider doing on the computer? He was making a web-site!"

Queen got hit! [25%]

✱Dodge back! Then attack!

"How does a computer get drunk? It takes screen shots.

Queen got hit! [50%]

✱Dodge to the left! Then attack!

"Why couldn’t the computer take its hat off? Because it had CAPS LOCK on.

Queen got hit! [75%]

✱Dodge to the left! Then attack!

"I told my laptop a joke about RAM… it needed time to process.

Queen got hit! [100%]

The character in the arcade started shaking upon losing all the healt bar and with it so did the machine itself, which prompted everyone to back away before suddenly exploding right before your eyes.

. . .

. .

"Does everything in this world explode!?!??!?!?" You snapped your disbelieved expression toward Queen.

"Yes"

She stepped back, laughing to herself "Oh My That Was Actually Quite. . .Amusing. You Lifeform(s) Have Exceeded My Expectations" then she turned toward you with a blank expression "No You B. Please Never Make Puns In My Presence Ever Again. Thank Bites I Can Delete My Memory" before you could retor, she condescendingly patted your head.

"I Will Offer You A New Exceedingly Benevolent Compromise. Assimilate Into My Cyber-Army And There Is Only A Fifty Percent Chance I Will Reprogram Your Face!" She proposed like this was a deal you couldn't possibly refuse "Please Select Your Choice. Perish In The Chill Of Absolute Destruction Or Flourish Under The Warm Bosom Of My Hellish Reign.

Everyone looked at Kris.

"Perish"

Yea. . .that check out.

"Understood. Preference Settings Set To 'Perish'" and, just like that, she turned on her heels and basically sprinted away who knows where.

. . .

. .

"Guys. . .shouldn't we like. . .follow her to find Noelle?"

. . .

. .

"EVERYBODY AFTER HER COME ON!"

High ︎Risk High Gain (Deltarune xGN!reader)

Chapter 1: Zombie? Vampire? Ghost!?

❤︎⁠Chapter 2: Never trust the quiet kid.

Chapter 3: It was the damn phone!

—❤︎⁠—

“You know Kris, there are many benefits to sleeping inside a casket” your voice was strained, fingers curling and digging deeper in the concrete “You could pretend to be a vampire. . .the walls are oddly cool when summer rolls around. . .” a breeze swept over your head, ruffling your hair as you slowly looked down “And especially I don’t have to risk my goddamn life!”

You hugged the wall, closing your eyes to accentuate your unwillingness while being several feet away from the ground with the knowledge that if you slip you will end up inside a casket once again. . .this time dead though!

Muffled chuckles reached your ears from above, making you snap your head up where the brunette was looking down at you from the comfort of their room. Their arms rested over the window and their cheek snuggled comfortably against the sweater. You deadpanned, gathering all your bravery and moving your hand to touch around and reaching for the small indent.

“Don't look at me so smugly– why are we entering your room through the window!? Are doors such foreign concepts– shit!” your foot slipped and that little of your life just flashed in front of your eyes like a high-speed train.

After kidnapping and dragging away from your beloved casket, Susie dropped you in front of a two story nice looking house with a red car parked beside. "You better sleep zombie, tomorrow we will bring you back to your home!” she grinned at you, sharp teeth full on display, hand slapping your back so hard you almost fell down onto the grass.

Despite that, the thought of home. . .filled you with happiness somehow.

She then high-fived Kris and gave them her goodbyes before turning around and disappearing back into the forest. Leaving you in the brunette's hands.

Grave mistake.

“Why did I decide to trust strangers that accused me of being a zombie. . .” You muttered to yourself, actually regretting all your life decisions. . .which are few but still “Oh wait. . .I didn’t had a choice”

Your eyes snapped open when you heard the creaking of the window and a hand entered your vision, trailing your gaze upward– Kris was leaning out of the window and offering you the much needed help if you wanted to avoid the quickest life speed-run.

“Figured that jail might not be the best outcome, uh?” Despite your sarcasm you did well immediately lacing your fingers with theirs and climbing the rest of the way till your body was safely inside and slumped on the ground. The sound of footsteps circled your body until a mop of brown hair entered your vision “You are so sassy for being a zombie”

“I'm not a zomb–you would be it too if one of the you strangers you placed your life in made you climb up a window in the middle of the night” you protested with a deadpanned expression before rolling around and sitting up “At least you guys are not like this when you save the world, right?”

. . .

. .

“Right, Kris?”

. . .

. .

“Kris!?”

You snapped your head toward them, which only earned a mischievous stick of the tongue out– not even attempting to deny your accusations nor easing your worries. . .on the contrary, your miserable expression only prompted them to chuckle even when you took hold of the nearest object (which happened to be a random book) and tried to throw it in their face “The world is doomed if someone like you has to protect it”

They easily caught it, making a motion to lower your voice while throwing glances at the bedroom door to make sure that their mom did not hear the mess happening and their silence finally gave you a good excuse to look around. Even in darkness, you could definitely make out the two beds placed on either side of the walls– mirroring each other with drawers and shelves above them. Only difference was that on the left side, trophies, awards, and certificates adorned the walls and surfaces, while everything on the right was bare and devoid of anything that could make up a personality. The rug stood in the middle, with a beautiful design stitched on it.

“So, I know that I just recently gained consciousness and all of that. . .and that I’m supposed to be a dar-darkner-something. . .but I’m still in the dark about everything” you started, cringing when you stood up and noticed the dark spot you left on the floor thanks to the ashes all over your figure “Ehe. . .pun intended by the way” trying to direct their attention away from the mess you made, a soft chuckle and shake of head made your shoulders relax and ease.

There is something comforting in someone your age being the one to find you. . .it’s hard to explain but there is something in Kris that screams at you to come closer.

“It’s hard to explain. . .Ralsei is the better monster for these types of summaries” They replied, not really satisfying your curiosity before you watched their lips part when your stomach betrayed you and started growling, prompting a cough out of you– desperately hoping to conceal it. Instead you saw them smirking in the corner of your eyes making your scowl grow further “But I guess you have more important matters to resol–”

“Kris?”

The creaking of a door froze you two in your spots and, before any attempt at jumping out of the window to hide, a goat looking monster made her way inside– rubbing her eyes with her pawn, reading glasses half way down her muzzle, a sleeping hat messily placed over her horns and curlers on the fur of her ears. She looked like she just woke up from hibernation.

“Did you enter through the window again? I told you that if you forgot your house keys to call. . .” her eyes adjusted to the dark and she finally seemed to take notice of the second human near her child “. . .me. . .” she blinked a couple of times, surprise written all over her face, mouth opening and closing.

“Mom. . .” Krist started “It’s not what it looks like”

*SLAP!*

You face-palmed hard—Out of all the things they could’ve said THIS was the most incriminating one! Totally not suspicious!

Toriel gasped and flipped the light switch to allow the light to submerge the room “Oh my stars, Kris!” she took several steps closer, covering her mouth with her hand and you readied yourself for a life scolding yet the older lady simply gave a non threatening glare toward her child and placed her hands over her hips.

“How many times have I told you to use the front door with guests? I’m willing to ignore your bad climbing habits however I won’t tolerate them when it could endanger someone else” then her gaze drifted back at you and her eyes softened, taking in your appearance “Oh my. . .you are a human! So this is the friend you spoke of with me on the phone” your eyes snapped over Kris, who was moving their hands trying to tell you to just go along, and since you didn’t fancy an angry goat so you did.

“Exactly ma'am. I met Kris uhhhh, outside of school and they showed the entire town! Really, umh, pretty” you gave her your name, looking nervous as ever while Toriel simply chuckle “How sweet. I’m glad you two had fun” before noticing the state she was in and blushing in embarrassment while quickly taking off her hat and fixing the reading glasses before addressing the brunette once again “Kris! You should’ve told me that you planned on bringing home a guest. You want to make a fool out of your mother?”

Kris gave a thumbs up.

“That child. . .” the goat monster shook her head just as your stomach started growling despite your best attempts at avoiding it, guilty watching her features morphing into concern, Toriel took hold of her cheek “Are you hungry dear? And those clothes! Ash? Where were you guys gone to play to get so dirty!” the concern melted in determination scarily fast and the next thing you knew, a large paw enveloped your hand “I can’t let you stay like this!”

You were startled.

“Worry not, I’m sure after a bath you will feel better” she insisted as your complexion went pale, you absolutely don't want to be a burden to this nice looking goat!

“There is no need Ma’am. I won’t stay here long anyway so–” you tried to argue only to be cut off by a shake of head “Nonsense, my child. I can’t possibly let you stay in those dirty rags. . .and you plan on walking home at this hour? That’s absurd, I can’t allow that. You can crash at our home, I’m sure Asriel won’t mind if someone uses his bed when he is not here” Toriel’s voice did not leave space to argue against.

A quiet ‘That had been easier than I thought’ reached your ears, making you snap your head toward the culprit– who simply waved at the sight of your frustrated expression.

Reaching the door, you tried to latch at the side and scramble to find any possible excuse “But-”

“No but, youngster” Toriel gave you a glare that shut you up, those motherly glares no child can argue against “Now go in the bathroom downstairs to the right, I will be there with a fresh pair of clothes. Thankfully we already have all the human necessities so do not worry. Have I made myself clear?”

At the stern voice you nodded “Yes ma’am!” and sprinted out of the room to follow her orders “You may call me Toriel, dear. No need for such formalities” she called after you, before sighing under her breath and shifting her attention toward the brunette standing in the middle of the room as a smile slowly formed on her lips.

“Such a nice teen. . .I’m glad you’ve found friends Kris. . .” a sigh slipped past her smiling lips, fluffy hands one over the other while she gazed affectionately at her child. Kris just looked to the side, wherever it was because of the embarrassment of having their mother subtly pointing at their loner nature or ignoring the fact that they tried to keep everything some sort of secret. Either way, they didn’t say anything. As usual.

And Toriel didn’t expect an answer. As usual.

Instead she walked over Asriel’s part of the room, where the closet was placed, and started rummaging around searching for clothes that could be worn by the new guest in the house “I hope you have been a good host Kris. . .because if I find out that you made someone climb up to your window. . .” she shot a glare, prompting the human to nervously look away and whistle hoping to appear innocent. It didn’t work.

“Well. . .there is pie in the kitchen, it might not be the best time. . .” she glanced at the clock, walking toward the exit of the bedroom before stopping just at the edge “But your friend must be starving, go and get you two a slice. How does that sound?”

Kris nodded their head.

Satisfied, Toriel smiled and made her way down the stairs– leaving the brunette alone in their room.

—✧—

Pulling down the lower lid of your eye, you looked at yourself in the mirror of the Dreemurr's bathroom before furrowing your eyebrows and leaning back with an uneasy expression. The sound of water flowing from the tap filled the small bathroom, drawing away your thoughts. Upon entering the bathroom and laying your eyes on your reflection, you immediately understood why Toriel insisted on you taking a shower.

You weren’t filthy per se. . .but it definitely looked like someone dunked a whole bag of incense over your head and called it a day. No wonder Susie thought you were a zombie.

Immediately you went to wash your hands, lower arms and face, watching the printing water turning darker before dripping down the drain. And when that was done, you were left with the sight of. . .you looking back.

It's not like you were expecting to see who knows what, that's still just. . .you. Hair, eyes, lips, skin.

But it was like it was the first time you have seen yourself in a mirror.

*Creak. . .*

“Can I come in?” a gentle voice asked, slowly pushing the door open until two horns popped inside “Miss Toriel, of course. This is your bathroom” your reply earned a chuckle followed by the lady goat making her way inside with some clothes in her hands. A green and yellow sweater, much similar to what Kris is wearing, paired with black trousers “Please, just call me Toriel. None of that Miss or Ma'am. I already get called that everyday by my students” She walked closer and placed the clothes over the sink.

You couldn’t help but inquire further “You are a teacher?” the question prompted a tired smile “Oh yes. I work in the same school that Kris goes to, albeit in a different year completely. Miss Alphys is the one who teaches in their class” she then made her way toward the tub/shower and turned it on.

Despite you knowing how everything worked, the monster lady still acted like you were a young child. . .checking the water temperature, taking out the towels, placing human hygiene products on the rim. She was really. . .motherly. Maybe it's simply something she couldn't control.

It was nice. Kindness is always nice.

“Thank you. . .”

Your train of thoughts got cut as those words registered in your mind, eyes snapping over Toriel who was looking down at you with a warm smile “For being friendly with Kris I mean. They. . .I think you might know this already but Hometown isn't big and all its citizens are actually monsters.” shifting her eyes to the side, you noticed the smile on her lips getting weaker “For Kris being the only human. . .I always feared that they might be bullied for it. Or perhaps come to hate part of themselves, be confused about things that I can't give them an answer for”

Her voice was softer, full of concern and at the same time fear before she caught herself from spiraling down and shot you a brighter smile “So I'm glad they found someone they can relate too. You are welcomed to stay as long as you wish for, however you should call your parents first”

. . .

. .

Slowly you nodded your head robotically, it felt wrong to receive praise for something that you haven't done– you couldn’t even call yourself Kris’s friend as you just met them today. But can you let down someone as kind as her! “Of course, I will make sure to take care of your child”

Toriel laughed, covering her mouth “What a sweet child you are. Hopefully you can straight up that prankster side of their” looking to the ceiling with a disappointed expression, which told you that Kris might not be an angel as a child, she sighed one last time and then finally walked out of the bathroom “If you need anything else do not hesitate to call me or Kris!” came her muffled voice from the other side.

And then you were alone once again.

After a much needed shower, you got dressed with the green and yellow sweater, put on the back trousers and quietly dried the bathroom from the water that accidentally fell over. You folded the used towels and placed them in a corner, with your old clothes over them, and finally made your way out of the bathroom. Cleaner than when you entered. Not less confused though.

Halting your steps, your eyes widened when they landed on a figure over the stairs– light coming from Kris’s bedroom casted a shadow over their features and made the sharp blade of a knife glinting. The brunette simply stood there without uttering a word, before lifting the knife. . .

“Kris!?”

And stabbing a slice of cake on their other hand!

You watched in horror as they lifted the whole slice with the knife before biting into it like it was nothing which was straight up the most disturbing thing you ever saw “How the hell do you eat pie? You should go to jail for such a crime. I'm sure there is a federal offense for that!”

The bastard just shrugged and had the courage to smirk like a devil before taking another bite “Hey, that rhymes” completely ignoring their weird ass way of eating “But that hurts you know? I came all the way here to offer you a slice of the pie my mom spent soooo much time doing with love and care. . .however if you don't want to, it just means more for me” and they turned around nonchalantly.

“You–” your breath caught in your throat and your stomach growled “Hey! Wait! I want to taste your mother pie!” your legs moved in a chase, running after the brunette who, at the sounds of your steps, actually started sprinting away themselves “Are you a child, Dreemurr? Is this how you treat your guests?”

They sounded more lively than before, as you reached their bedroom and found them sitting in their brother's bed, still eating the pie “Wow, calling me by my surname? Who gave it to you?”

"Your mom" you replied sarcastically (well it had been really Toriel to be honest) which actually almost made Kris choke on their laughters while pressing their lips together to not wake up their mother again. It came to a point where they started coughing like crazy and hitting their chest with their fist.

"You have the humor of a child" smirking, you exploited the opening to dive and grab the tray with the pie on it, mentally celebrating for your win. . .

. . .

. .

That's it until you saw only one slice left. You were bewildered, being certain that there must have been at least half of pie on it– before dread washed over your body and your gaze snapped over Kris "Dude. . .don't tell me that this was a whole pie. . ."

Kris smirked mischievously and leaned their chin in their palm.

You stared at them, questioning their sanity "You ate an entire pie?!"

"Almost an entire pie. I left you a slice" they replied cooly.

"How do you eat an entire pie in fifteen minutes!?"

Kris shrugged their shoulders.

Just outside the bedroom door, as the argument kept going muffled by the wood, Toriel leaned her back against it with a smile slowly making its way on her face and her eyes closed for a moment, listening to the laughters. She then pushed herself away and strolled down the corridor, hoping for the two teens to not stay awake too long on a school night.

—✧—

You guys totally overslept the entire morning, woke up to an angry Toriel scolding you two (mainly Kris) about eating the entire pie and quickly got dressed up, stumbling around to try and reach the car and go to school.

. . .

. .

Wait a second. . .

Why the hell are YOU going to school?! I mean, obviously because this ‘Ralsei’ (also called the ‘even lesser badass hero’) apparently has an entire kingdom in the closet– aka Dark world– which is actually your home. Sure. Okay. . .but couldn’t you wait like, after the lesson? Why do you HAVE to go?!

Kris stared at the front school “We missed most of Alphys class. . .” since Toriel had to go without you two, if she desired to not get fired, you and Kris had to walk your way to reach it– which had been a good excuse for them to show you the town since, well, you lied to their mom when you told her that you already visited it “Isn’t your mom gonna be angry?” you questioned with a raised eyebrow.

“Not if she doesn’t find out” was their answer.

Entering the school, you looked around mesmerized by the quantity of different monsters of all sizes, colors and species. There were cats, snakes, shapes you couldn’t even comprehend, and even a blue bird talking animatedly to a cute looking deer.

Kris dragged you away before he could spot you two, muttering something about ‘Berdly smartass’ and instead B-lined toward what looked to be a closet at the end of the corridor.

“Kris!” Susie's voice made you jump out of your skin from how loud she had been and almost smashed against the wall when the purple monster grabbed both of your sweaters and dragged you two closer “You bastard! If I knew you were planning on skipping school I would’ve done the same! You left me looking like a damn idiot the entire time!” then her eyes snapped over you, who was praying whatever god was up there to survive long enough and see the next sunrise “And YOU!”

. . .

. .

“You look even more like a zombie, too scared to sleep or something?”

You felt dead, that’s for sure.

“Whatever, what’s done it’s done” and to your delight, another day was granted. The purple monster took a step back, crossing her arms and eyeing the two of you, specifically eying your clothes “The hell are you wearing? Does Kris really have NOTHING but SWEATERS?!” she laughed like a maniac, finding your matching clothes to be absolutely hilarious.

“It’s fashion baby” the brunette responded, giving you the opening to add a dramatic effect “You only wish to be this stylish. All I see is you being jealous of not matching with us”

Susie scoffed, rolling her eyes “Fashion? Stars if you call that pile of utter boredom and blandness fashion you do you”

“Like strapped jeans are still in fashion” Kris pointed at her trousers, earning a rather close meet and great with sharp teeth when she grabbed them by the sweater and dragged their face close to her mouth “Say that again and chalk won’t be the only thing I will chew on” Okay, new rule learned. Don’t piss off Susie.

She then dropped them with a satisfied grin “Anyway, we have a mission to do, no?” next thing you knew, her large hand was around your wrist “Come on already! We have a zombie to bring home!”

“I’m not a zombie for fuck sak–!”

. . .

. .

The closet’s door stood in front of you three, your eyes skimmed over it with confusion– slightly unimpressed and lifted your finger to point at it “That’s a closet. . .” by your side Susie snorted “We got Einstein here.” rolling your eyes, your legs moved to come closer at the door— hand lifting and gently knocking on the surface "And behind this, there is a whole kingdom in the Dark World?"

Once again, Susie grinned before nudging at Kris with her elbow "Hey, they are learning this stuff really quick, uh?" the brunette simply nodded their head and made the 'OK' sign with their fingers to indicate you being on the right track.

With these information in mind, you took a step back and wrapped your fingers around the knob before hesitating "Uhm, not that I doubt your words and call you guys liars. . .but I'm totally thinking you guys are lying and pulling a prank on me–"

"God you are so slow!" with the patience of an explosive, the dark haired girl shot forward and opened the closet door for you– revealing a complete darkness right behind it that extended for who knows how long. . .especially since the very first inches already disappeared "Wow. . ." A mutter escaped your lips while your eyes took in this strange and new sight.

It was dark, of course, really REALLY dark.

Though. . .for some reason. . .it didn’t feel like the darkness you had been prior your awakening in that mausoleum.

"What are we waiting?" Susie teased, peeking her head from over your shoulder– words barely able to register in your mind "Waiting– what do you mean waiting? Are you saying you want to enter this abyss with no end!?"

“Nha” Kris replied with a grin that immediately made all the alarms in your head SCREAM at the top of their lungs to run far far away “We are not gonna walk inside it. . .” a second later, Susie grabbed your and the brunette’s hand so you knew it was too late for your escape attempt “We are gonna jump in it!”

And that’s the story of how you got convinced to follow two strangers inside a suspicious looking closet.

You expected your feet to touch the ground or the floor or something–! Instead they sank into the void, your body following immediately after as the wind made a mess of your hair– the clothes the Toriel gave you dancing in beautiful color patterns and, more importantly changing right before your eyes. You don’t know if the adrenaline was making you see things or if it was the dark itself– it was hard to make out your surroundings after all. Only Susie’s laughters reached your ears before your body collided on something. . .soft?

“Holy shit! Out of all the space possible you just HAD to fall on Kris!” Susie exploded in more laughter, throwing her head back and holding it while pointing at your body splattered over the bruuuuuuuuuu-blue haired teen?!

Noticing the new look, you immediately pushed yourself off and blinked a couple of times in utter shock at the way that. . .Kris’s(? That was Kris?! They looked like Kris) hair, instead of being brown were of a dark blue instead. . .and speaking of blue– their own skin was now of cyan color– completely unnatural for a human by the way– and were wearing an outfit akin to a knight armor. Then your eyes snapped over Susie.

She also looked completely different. Well. . .less than Kris but still.

Her skin was more on the pinkish/fuchsia range of colors, bright purple hair and a dark outfit– something that could have very well come out of a metal concert. She was looking down at you with a satisfied grin, chest puffing at your bewildered expression “What? Do I have something on my face, zombie?” the teasing tone went completely over your head when all you could think was–

“I must have hit my head when I totally fell from Kris’s window and now I’m in the after life. . .”

A roar of laughter echoed in your ears “Ahhh? I told ya I was a badass hero, no? And a badass hero needs an equally badass outfit. . .mhm. . .yours is not bad too I guess” processing the implication of her words, you immediately looked down at yourself only to notice that. . .ohhhh no. . .

Oh no.

Oh nha.

Hell the heck nha.

Oh stars.

Holy Maria.

HOLY SHIT!

Your clothes–! They are different too–you are different too!

Kris seemed to finally recover from your merciless squash-a-bug technique as they slowly stood up on their feet and sent a thumb up to show you their approval of your outfit. You would love to actually be as excited and happy, if you weren’t struggling to process everything that just went down– the awakening, the closet, the Dark world, the outfit change, YOUR outfit change, the–

“Kris!! Susie!!”

A new voice cut your train of thoughts as from the shadows some white came rushing toward you three “It’s been ever so long!” deja-vu hit you like a train when a familiar looking monster approached your small ground, a goat monster to be precise. Shorter than Toriel, wearing big circular green glasses and a long equally green dress with dark sleeves and an upside down spade in the center. Wrapped around their neck was a long pink scarf.

“Yeah. . .yeah. . .It’s been what? A day?” Susie replied, seemingly on good terms with the new addition– which made you suspect that this goat monster might be indeed the ‘even lesser badass hero’ AKA Ralsei, You saw his cheeks dust in embarrassment and looked away shyly “Oh! That is. . .short, isn’t it. . .? It’s just that I never had friends before. . .so I never waited so long to see them again either!”

His sincerity made the purple haired monster chuckle “Fine, guess we will TRY not to let you die of loneliness”

The goat giggled only for his eyes to widen when they finally landed over your figure, who was doing everything to make yourself smaller “Oh my!” he gasped in a way that wasn’t bad per se, more like excitement “I didn’t see you! I’m so sorry! Are you Kris and Susie’s friend?” he walked closer and a pleasant smell of books overwhelmed your senses “I’m Ralsei, it’s nice to meet you”

The fluffy monster extended his paw toward you, who took it between your hands and gave a gentle shake “It’s nice to meet you Ralsei. . .” you had time to only give him your name before Susie jumped between you two and took your shoulder “Oi Ralsy! Look who we brought back for you” the words confused the poor goat, who looked nervous yet still graced her with a smile “You. . .erhm. . .gifted me a human?”

Behind, Kris slapped a hand over their mouth to absolutely not burst out laughing while you sighed, looking at the dark sky.

“You wish, uh?”

Ralsei's cheeks exploded in a soft pink as he looked near a breakdown “What?! No! I didn’t mean—I just– I, uhm. . .I wouldn’t know why you brought ____ here to me specifically– are they hurt? Sorry! Uhm. . .” he tried to explain himself, failing miserably while Susie– being the ass she was– was laughing like a maniac and you took it in your hands to give her the meanest elbow between her ribs. How dare she upset the nice looking goat?!

“Nha, we just brought ____ here at home since. . .ya know. . .darkner and everything. We thought you could give them a place in your kingdom or something.”

Ralsei’s smile dropped an inch “Darkner. . .” he mumbled in confusion.

“Duhhh? ____ here is a darkner. We found them in some creepy graveyard” her eyebrow raised a little when her friend looked at the side with his grin strained and nervous “And you found them in the. . .Lightworld?” Kris nodded at the question which confirmed Ralsei doubts and worries. He eyed you one more time before bringing his arms behind his back “I’m afraid there had been a misunderstanding. . .”

“Uh?” Susie replied puzzled.

“Well, you see. . .they are not a darkner, Susie, Kris. . .you, ehm. . .brought here just a lightner instead” Ralsei explained, which made the headache in you, worsen even more as now– the little you were sure of– just exploded in tiny tiny pieces right in front of your eyes “WHAT?!” the purple haired girl exclaimed, one would say even more shocked than you at the news.

Ralsei looked to the side “The citizens of the dark world. . .well. . .it’s hard to explain but just know that it can’t be possible for us to keep our form in the Light World, so. . .____ is not a darkner. . .” he explained, before turning toward you with a huge encouraging smile “Not that there is anything wrong with it! On the other side! People of the Dark World are always excited to meet Lightners!”

Your eyes dropped on the wìground, the disappointment of meeting a dead end pooling at the base of your stomach.

“But!” Susie took a step closer to Ralsei, snapping her head between you and him “You are a nerd! A smartass! A know it all! Surely you can still help them– we found them in a mauso-masole-whatever. A graveyard. And they don’t remember jack shit! Do you know anything that could aid us?”

Ralsei shot her a guilty smile “I know everything about the Dark World, not the Light World. . .”

Susie groaned.

“But! If you guys are trying to find something out why don’t you do some research? You have said that you found ____ in a mausoleum? Why not do some research on it? I’m sure you are bound to find something!” the goat suggested, excited and proud of his own words– but all it earned was a scoff from the purple monster “Oh yeah? And where would we find these information?”

“The. . .umh. . .library?”

“Laaaaaame”

A second of silence passed before your voice broke it. nervous yet with a twinge of disappointment “Ah. . .I’m sorry guys. I just made yall waste time for nothing” but it seemed that this loser attitude of yours won’t fly under Susie’s presence “Oi. . .” she walked over you, grabbing the front of your outfit and lifting you on the tip of your shoes “The hell are you apologizing for like some sort of wimp? Hope to the stars that you are joking” it was so unnerving when someone like her wasn’t smiling at all.

“Who cares if we failed this time? An adventure is no fun if it’s so damn easy after all” her fingers uncurled from the fabric, leaving your feet to find the ground once again and, upon lifting your eyes over her, that damn grin welcomed you “We will find what your deal is, I’m too invested in this mystery to let it go now”

You felt your cheeks heat up from the embarrassment of the spot light being pointed on you and the only words that could escape your trembling lips were “You are so cheesy. . .”

A fist punched your shoulder “And you are smiling” Kris pointed at your lips, prompting you to place a hand over their face and push them away “Shut up”

Ralsei chuckled at the sight, covering his mouth with his paw “Are you gonna go already? I have something to show you and Kris”

Not wishing to get third wheeling (fourth wheeling?) in their dynamic, you shook your head “In that case yall can stay here if you need to, I will be waiting near the closet for when you two are done”

Both Kris and Susie nodded their heads, that being your signal to go back to the school.

. . .

. .

Wait a second. . .

. . .

. .

“Uhm. . .guys. . .how do I get back in the school exactly?” you questioned with a nervous smile, turning around to lay your gaze on them when all you saw was the divine light instead of stairs or a door. “Oh! You just need to stand underneath the light!” Ralsei explained.

“The light?”

“The one behind your back, you dumbass” Susie pointed with her finger.

“But, how does that work?”

“Like this”

And then she proceeded to push you back inside the light, much to Ralsei disappointment toward her rough manners. Kris waving you goodbye and Susie chuckles being the last things you caught before god themselves dragged you upward.

—❤︎⁠—

"Hey dude, come and look at this! I swear it’s the coolest thing you will be seeing all day!"

A purple monster urged her new companion to follow her, walking through graves neatly placed one after the other and promptly ignoring them to, instead, venturing deeper inside the graveyard. Now that Kris thinks about it. . .maybe following someone who threatened to bite your face off the same morning might not be the most intelligent thing. . .

Oh well, they had to do worse.

"Well, not the coolest after. . ." She turned her head back to make sure the brunette was still behind "You know. THAT was definitely the coolest thing I ever did in the world– BUT! This thing is the second coolest thing after that" she gave a narrowed glare to the human, like she was daring them to disagree with her words despite not having seen the 'thing'. Susie turned back toward the graves "Man. . .I wish Lancer was also here. He would totally set the mood right" reaching a secluded part of the graveyard, Susie inspected the surroundings before making her way toward a corner near the tree– where the vegetation seemed to have overtaken something. "Hurry up" she quickened her pace.

Kris followed her with a more leisure walk–

Susie ran back to grab their wrist and drag them "HURRY UP!”

Next thing the brunette knew, vines and leaves slapped on their face, making them close their eyes– Susie didn’t seem bothered at all and, soon enough, she let the human’s wrist fall down while her claws ended over her hips and a satisfied ‘humph’ left her mouth stretched in a huge grin “I found this little gem while I was strolling around the graveyard and stopped to eat some of those vines–” she halted herself, expression falling down “Well, not that you need to know the whole story– point is! I didn’t know that there was a section of the graveyard completely abandoned to itself”

Kris finally lifted their head only to land their hidden eyes on a structure in the middle of this forgotten garden. It looked like a sort of mausoleum [¹]. It had a circular floor plan with a ring of columns around it—some broken or crumbling, revealing the state of decay the structure had fallen into before its rediscovery. Kris wonders for how long this tomb has been here. . .maybe years?

Their red eyes involuntarily lifted higher, looking at the dome that formed the roof—part of it broken, perhaps having collapsed during a severe storm. Vegetation started its feats on the old rock that made the walls, vines climbed the pillars, grass so tall it reached the small openings on the walls, flowers blooming where they shouldn’t bloom. Only a vase of beautiful bog-rosemaries[²] seemed to belong where it should belong, right in front of the entrance.

“Man, isn’t this awesome?! I only ever saw it from the outside but never dared to enter, you know? What if the floor gives away or something?” Susie turned toward Kris with a huge grin, the teen suddenly felt doom and despair wash over their bodies as they forced themselves to move before the inevitable will happen. Unfortunately for them, Susie is quick to act– her hand clasping the front of the green/yellow sweater “And that’s why YOU will be the brave idiot to enter first!”she twirled them around before launching Kris inside the mausoleum, their foot stepped over a wooden plank at the entrance, which was actually loose, which actually rotated down, WHICH ACTUALLY LAUNCHED THE VASE OF BOG-ROSEMARY IN THE AIR!

“Quick Kris! The vase!” Susie urged, watching her friend launch themselves forward and managing to catch the vase at the last second at the cost of slamming their face on tge ground, the fragile ceramic only a few inches from the floor. Everyone held their breaths for a second before Susie quickly sprinted toward Kris, looked at them and laughed “I knew there was a trap! This must be a secret base or something! There could be a treasure somewhere like. . .” she looked around while Kris slowly got on their feet, their face having a huge red mark all over it.

Kris tried to call out for Susie and inform her that this was not some ‘secret base with a treasure inside’ and simply the tomb of someone– even if with the way it was left they doubt it was used in the first place and if it really was. . .they looked around, complete destruction everywhere. . .like someone or something came inside and started trashing the place, taking objects and smashing them on the walls, clawing at the ground, slamming heavy objects everywhere.

Kris looked away.

Either way, this was only an abandoned place.

Susie ignored them.

They started exploring it, looking at the bare walls and being mindful of the obstacles along the way and especially not to trip and fall on something dangerous. Red eyes swept all over until they caught something in the corner, something that the moonlight was shining over like it was precious. They walked over, cheeks feeling warmer with excitement as they finally saw what the gods blessed them with.

A gift from heaven itself.

A sight for the blind.

A melody for the deaf.

A song for the mutes.

Moss.

A single tear slid down their cheeks “Thank you Father”

✱ You ate the moss.

“Look!” she cut them before they could even speak when her eyes landed on what looked like a casket in the middle of the room, right under the circular opening of the dome which let the moonlight drape over it. Or well, calling it a casket was a bit. . .underwhelming. It was an ethereal rectangle structure, with the finest details on the marble. . .they looked to be telling a story however whatever happened ruined the end. Something about a higher being, those looked like hands moving away to reveal a. . .uhhhh. . .this part seemed to have been completely carved off by something like a knife. Then a figure appeared and the hands looked like they were petting it. The figure liked it, embracing the higher being’ love. The figure wields a scythe[³] and ventures into the world with the hands guiding it. The figure–

. . .

. .

Everything else is completely unreadable.

“It’s just the same old story about creation. . .” Susie pointed out with a tch “I’m not exactly into this but it still sucks that some idiot had to break in and vandalize everything, even worse. . .they destroyed art.” she turned toward Kris “Do you think they took the treasure already?” when all she got was a shrug of shoulders, a groan rumbled from her throat and she approached the casket. The purple monster placed her hands over the lid and tried to lift it. . .failing miserably.

“. . .” she looked at the casket with anger boiling under her skin and kicked the bottom “Damn it! It’s too heavy”

Kris approached it, the vase between their hands held tightly as they inspected it while Susie kept cursing under her breath. Red eyes swept over the lid, the image of a dove[⁴] carved in bas-relief and at the top of it a small indent– big enough for something circular to rest. Kris looked at the vase between their hands- at the bog-rosemaries. . .their legs moved before their mind could.

And they placed the vase of gob-rosemary on the indent, right above the dove. [⁵]

The bird silhouette glowed and, right before their eyes, it became alive and flew on the marble toward the vase- pushing it off.

*SMASH!*

“Kris!” Susie called out, quickly approaching her friend “What was that. . .!” her eyes snapped over the casket, the lid now slightly moved to the side “. . .noise. . .?” she looked at the casket, then snapped her eyes on Kris, then back at the casket, then– “You opened it!” she grabbed the side of the lid, lifting it much easier now “You! With your noodle arms! Your skin even looks like noodles damn it! You–!”

Kris did not look amused.

“Don’t look at me like that dude” Susie narrowed her eyes before couching in her fist and turning back toward the ‘treasure’ with barely concealed excitement “I mean. . .” her fingers wiggled as they gripped the side once again “Let’s see what kind of treasure–”

“Achoo!”

Susie jumped back, spooked by the sudden noise coming from inside the casket. Kris remained unbothered like the monarch they were.

“. . .” the purple monster snapped her eyes toward the human, her body tense and ready for action “Hey Kris. . .have you heard it too right? That. . .that noise coming from the treasure. . .”

“Achoo!” the lid rattled a little higher.

“!” Once again, Susie jumped back, she could see something leaking from the casket. . .something dark. . .like dust.

“Hey Kris. . .” she mumbled out “Doesn’t that. . .doesn’t that look like the stuff from the closet? Could it be. . .” her expression hardened, eyebrows furrowed and fists closed “Could it be another dark world!?”

“Achoo!” the lid jumped higher!

“Prepare yourself Kris!” Susie warned as the brunette crossed their arms like a shield.

“Achoo!”

The lid totally came off as a figure sat up, a cloud of dark dust hid their features with the exception of a silhouette “Achoo!” the figure sneezed again, waving their hands around until the cloud slowly started dispersing and all it was left was the sight of. . .

. . .

. .

“There is too much ash and incense here! I can’t breathe!"

Susie eyed the figure, blinking so fast that her lashes were about to come off. She snapped her head toward Kris, who looked. . .shocked- or as much shocked as Kris could look– then snapped her gaze back to the coughing figure, then back Kris, then back to the figure, the back to Kris–

Figure. Kris. Figure. Kris. Figure’s hands. Kris’s hands. Figure’s arms. Kris’s arms. Figure’s head. Kris’s head. Figure’s face. Kris’s face–

“Susie. . .” the brunette spoke, which was rare in itself, their voice feeble but their breaths itched as they processed what they were seeing “That is a–”

“ZOMBIE!” Susie shouted at the top of her lungs, which scared both Kris and figure.

“Kris! That’s a zombie! They came out of the casket!” she grabbed the human’s shoulders and started shaking them back and forth while keeping her eyes on the weird new addition that was still looking at them puzzled, and slightly put off– “Susie, that would be a vampire–”

“Zombie! They want to eat your brain Kris! You have to smash their head open with a bat!” from nowhere, the monster took out said bat and pointed it at the figure– you– who paled and backed away against the casket “W-Wait!” the purple monster swung her bat, making you lean back and fall down the casket “Ow. . .ow. . .” you groaned, pushing yourself on your knees just as the same monster quickly tried to approach you again. “Damn, they are even making weird noises. . .like a zombie!” she tried to hit you with her bat.

Kris tried to intervene but their joints locked in place like they were watching a cutscene.

You pushed yourself on your feet but your legs trembled and fell right back down, dodging the bat by mere inches. It was like you could feel the very life in you being exposed to that weapon and if you won’t do something then it will be over.

“Are you mocking me, uh?! Kris stay back. If humans get bitten by a zombie they turn into zombies too, no? Let me handle this” that was your clue to roll away and keep rolling while the bat slammed down continuously where your head would’ve been till your back hit a fallen debris. . .those damn tiles fallen from the roof. You tried to dive on the right but something stopped you from doing that, giving enough time for the girl to be right in front of you “Okay, end of the chase” and lifted the bat.

“I swear I’m not a zombie!” All you could do was raise your arms to try and shield yourself, waiting for the inevitable—

You felt the wind push aside the hair from your face, something was mere inches from your face- you could feel its presence, so threatening and so, so damn dangerous. Your heart was beating wildly in your chest, pumping blood all over your body and making you feel warm and fuzzy at the same time. When you re-opened your eyes, the moonlight that allowed you to look at your surroundings was blocked by the bat over your forehead.

“. . .” Susie did not say anything, she stared down at the figure for a long while with her weapon of choice still in place “Damn. . .now that I see you better in the moonlight. . .” she narrowed her eyes and rubbed her chin thoughtfully “They. . .they don’t look like a zombie. . .” she then turned toward the other teen, who finally was able to reach you two “Right Kris?”

The brunette– Kris– took a second to answer and snapped their red eyes from Susie to the person behind who was quickly nodding their head in a clear begging motion. They considered it, choosing between the two options before finally speaking “Zombies have green skin”

It seemed to work because Susie nodded her head “Right. . .zombies do have green skin” and Kris nodded along while keeping their eyes on how you were slowly crawling away while they kept the purple monster busy. [25%]

“And miss chunks of meat”

You slowly proceed to crawl away further as she snapped her fingers “Right!” [50%]

“And can’t speak”

You slowly proceed to crawl away further as she hummed thoughtfully “Hey. . .I did hear words” [75%]

“And drool”

You slowly proceed to crawl away further as Susie considered the words “Well uhhhh. . .I didn’t check if they were drooling. . .” [10–

“But if they aren’t a zombie. . .”

You halted mid escape, feeling your body freeze when the music suddenly stopped and the dark haired girl suddenly assumed a serious expression, grabbing one of the crucifixes nearby. . .one that had the end broken in a sharp blade “This means that you are a vampire!” and she pointed it at you (the teen beside her loudly facepalmed at the absurdity) which was your last straw–

“I’m not a zombie or a vampire or anything damnit!” the sheer volume of your voice both made Susie and Kris flinch and you used the broken statue of an angel to finally push yourself on your feet, eyes narrowed and a bead of sweat running down your temple. Now, more than ever, you felt brave enough to finally confront these two strangers.

“I’m not buying that dude, I mean. This place looks like it had been built by dinosaurs and then went through two world wars-” she pointed around like that was supposed to be the explanation “Plus you literally came out of a casket like a zombie or vampire or whatever! What were we supposed to think? Tell them Kris! What do they look like?” Susie nudged the brunette, urging them to not always be so nonchalant and to react when there was a zombie trying to eat their brain.

A familiar feeling overwhelmed Kris and two options seemed to register in their mind.

✱They are definitely a vampire. Take the garlic Susie!

✱Probably some homeless trying to find a place to sleep tonight.

It’s not true. . .they would never say either thing. . .why are they stuck with– with this. . .!?

Taking a deep breath, they bit the inside of their cheek hard as they saw the indecision.

❤︎‬They are definitely a \ “I’m not a vampire \ vampire. Take the garlic Susie!

✱‪‪Probably some homeless \ nor a homeless damn it!” \ trying to find a place to sleep tonight.

Kris eyes widened in surprise when you suddenly spoke up not only before a choice could have been made. . .did you. . .how did you know what they were about to say before a choice could’ve been actually made?

“Uhhhhhh. . .” Susie deadpanned, awkwardly looking around before rubbing the back of her neck “No one said anything about you being homeless ya know? Shit, did I actually hit you in the head? I know I’m strong but a simple tap can’t have made you stupid!” when you processed those words, your shoulders slightly fell down in shock “Are you for real? I. . .I swear I. . .”

“Human”

Everyone turned toward Kris, who finally spoke up after an unsettling amount of time being completely silent. Both you and Susie blinked your eyes in surprise watching their expression switch from a monotone to a lazy smirk “That or perhaps they are the ghost hunting this place coming to punish you for trying to steal their treasure” they teased, making Susie ears flare red from embarrassing before she pointed the crucifix dagger toward them “Dude that’s not funny! Quit it!”

“Yes!” you jumped on your feet, clapping your hands.

“You are a ghost who came to hunt me because I tried to steal your treasure?!” Susie shouted out, the crucifix back to being pointed at you.

“What?! No! I didn’t mean that!” shaking your head you pointed to yourself closing your eyes “I’m a human! No zombie! No vampire! I’m-. . .I’ve been named ____.” it felt like a huge burden had been lifted by your shoulder and suddenly breathing became easier. A second of silence passed by before you slowly cracked an eye open to peer at their reactions.

“Ah? Why did you not say so?” Susie tched, lazily throwing the crucifix behind her back while rolling her eyes “And here I was ready to smash some zombie’s brains. You shouldn’t have waited so long before saying that you were human, dude– people aren’t as understanding as me, it could’ve ended up badly for you” she scolded you, placing her hands behind her head.

“I’ve been trying–!” you groaned, feeling your frustration grow when you caught Kris trying to muffle their chuckles.

. . .

. .

“WAIT, THE FUCK YOU MEAN YOU ARE HUMAN?!”

It seems that Susie caught up to what you have said. She quickly made her way toward you, looked at you top to bottom with wide eyes before snapping her head toward Kris “They are you!?”

Kris shrugged their shoulders.

“Dude, don’t act like an unbothered bastard– that’s a human! You should be ecstatic to see another one of your species! You are– or well– you were the only human in the entire town–and now!” she turned toward you again “It turns out that there is another one hidden in a creepy graveyard?!”

Kris shrugged their shoulders.

“DO SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF SHRUGGIN!”

Kris raised their thumbs up.

“. . .I’m gonna shove you inside a locker”

Kris pointed behind her.

“Okay dude, quit it. You are playing with your life”

Kris took a second to think before suddenly making signs with their hands that looked more like gang signs.

. . .

. .

“YOU, DON’T TRY TO RUN AWAY AGAIN!” Susie turned around, catching you trying to sneak away. . .again. . .which prompted an awkward laugh out of you as instead you opted for a plan B “Uhhhhhh. . .I don’t want to be smashed by a fierce dinosaur?” the flatter didn’t seem to land as desired since you saw the monster’s left eye twitch while behind her Kris was shaking their head with their arms crossed in a X. A clear ‘abort’ signal “Who did you call dinosaur?”

It took her three steps to reach you, wrap an arm around your neck and give you a good old noogie on your head “Are you trying to call me old, zombie? I’m a dragon! A dragon! Get it in your head! I’m the great dragon Susie destroyer of worlds” when she finished with the beat up, you were left kneeling on the ground with a cartoonish bump over your head and a sour expression “I’m sorry great dragon Susie destroyer of worlds. . .”

Kris snickered a few feet away, Susie snapped her head toward them.

Oh. . .

Oh no.

Now both you and Kris were side by side with bumps over your heads.

“Jeeze, are all humans this idiotic or have I had the misfortune of meeting the only odd ones” dusting her hands, the dark haired girl finally looked back at you specifically, her expression became more serious, lips frowning, eyebrows furrowed, the whole deal “So, ehm. . .you said that your name is ___, right?” Susie asked.

“Exactly, I’ve been named ___, oh great dragon Susie destroyer of worlds”

“Quit it”

“Yes”

“So, uhhhh. . .listen, I don’t know jack shit about humans but. . .I’m sure as hell that it’s not normal to sleep in a graveyard- inside a casket and scaring the living shit out of us. So, what the hell were you doing? Who are you? And we didn’t know that there was another human in the town all this time?” one question after the other came barrelling toward you like bombs exploding upon contact, prompting your head to lower further while you toyed with your fingers.

It wasn’t like you were purposely trying to keep something hidden from this monster girl and brunette human. . .just. . .ah. . .these questions, you hoped to have someone answer them too since you are as much in the dark as them if not even worse “I. . .would you believe me if I said that I don’t remember anything?” by your side, Kris deadpanned– shoulder dropping down “How convenient. . .”

Your cheeks flushed red out of embarrassment “No–! I mean, I’m serious. I truly am also unaware of the reason I was inside that casket. I felt like I had such a deep slumber, waiting for someone or something to wake me up– okay that sounds cheesy I know! The thing is–!” looking around inside the mausoleo, you frowned when your eyes landed on the different paintings destroyed “I remember my favorite food. . .soft. My favorite blood type. . .C. I like the color cyan the most. Someone gave me the gift of bravery, and I felt. . .” your gaze lowered to your hands “That someone had hope for me”

. . .

. .

“Next thing I knew, I was submerged in darkness”

It was like swimming in a cold, dark lake– everything around was non-existent while you felt something freezing, weighing you down and down and down as you waited and waited for something. You weren’t sure what exactly you were waiting but you didn’t dare to think about more than necessary nor did you wanted to find out an answer.

Then something fell into the lake, something small yet so incredibly warm, making its way down and down and down. It was only able to see where it was going thanks to the faint glow which emitted. Before long it reached you. . .you think it did. Your eyes weren’t actually open.

Then it hugged you.

“Darkness?” Susie mumbled, like that specific word held more weight than you could ever comprehend. She snapped her head to the side and toward Kris who was already gracing her with their attention “Could it be. . .” the monster saw them nod their heads in agreement “No way dude! They– you think they are a darkner?”

Kris frowned "Technically it was you who suggested–”

“There are darkner humans? Oh shit! I have an amazing theory! Listen!” Susie cut them off, nudging their shoulder with her elbow “What if the dark world is like. . .a parallel to the light world? Like in. . .how was it called? Stranger happenings? That would mean that there must at least be ONE human darkner! And ____ might have accidentally got out by. . .I dunno! A backdoor? A back closet?!”

Kris looked utterly unamused as Susie just basked in pride. Look at her– she is really good at this hero stuff.

. . .

After a second you coughed “Uhhhh” narrowing your eyes, you looked to the side like you were contemplating if running was still an option “Darkner? Dark world? Light world? Look. . .I just woke up covered in ashes and with my nose full of incense– I still need to understand how I ended up there, where I am and how to go back. . .” you pressed your lips together “I need to find the person that gave me my name, they have high hopes for me”

“Like a parent?” the brunette lifted an eyebrow, even if you couldn’t exactly see it “AH! Don’t worry darkner! You must be extremely confused and lost but luckily for you, you are in the presence of a badass hero. . .” she made a pose “and a less badasss hero!” soon enough Kris followed, doing themselves a pose “And we will bring you to meet the other even lesser badass hero!”

Everyone stood still for a couple of seconds like they were waiting for something. . .

“Okay that’s enough”

Her words, albeit weird and confusing, did fill you with hopes of making the first right step to find an answer to your questions. And especially find out the person that you are searching for “Is this ‘even lesser badass hero’ the one who has high hopes for me?”

Susie deflated slightly “Well no” she shook her head “But I bet that he knows something– that nerd knows everything!” by her side, Kris nodded with a smirk before nudging the monster and making a motion, pointing at the entrance. It was clear that they were asking if they should go now– to which Susie considered it for a second before shaking her head “Nhaaa, school it’s already closed isn't it? I never would’ve thought to WANT to go back into the school and be DISAPPOINTED that I couldn’t go” her tone was disgusted at the mere implication of her intentions.

“Wait. . .this hero. . .lives in a school?” you deadpanned, eyeing the two teens with suspicion.

Kris smirked in amusement “Yep, and he has a kingdom made of chess pieces and card games”

You felt like they were messing with you yet at the same time something told you that there was truth to their words.

“No– it’s a long story, listen” Susie threw the brunette a half glare before crossing her arms “Thing is, we can’t reach him at the moment so we have to do it tomorrow. . .Kris take them back to your home”

“!” the teen snapped their head toward Susie, completely against the idea. It’s not like they want the new person to spend the night outside. . .but they can’t sneak someone inside their house in the middle of the night– if Toriel sees them covered in ash she will freak out!

“Don’t look at me like that. I can’t host them because. . .uhhhh. . .no space. . .but I have heard that your house is really big. Do you not have a brother who went to college?” she laughed, slapping their shoulders as Kris bit their lip.

✱Mom loves strays, it’s not a problem.

✱No.

Sure, it’s not like they could appear to the police with a random human without them asking all sort of questions and they are broke, they can’t buy a night in a hotel. . .maybe if they steal the keys for the school in their mom’s purse. . .

❤︎Mom loves\ It’s fine \strays, it’s not a problem.

✱No.\ really guys \

The two of them turned around just in time to watch you approach the casket “I can totally sleep here for tonight. One more time is not gonna kill me!”

. . .

. .

“Okay you are coming home with me”

“Heard the boss?” Susie suddenly grabbed your shirt and hoisted you over her shoulder “Let’s get out of this creepy graveyard!”

. . .

. .

“WAIT UH?!”

Susie taking up most of the screen time because Kris is too emo to talk and MC is barely aware of their existence: Damn, are all human quiet losers?

[¹] Mausoleum: A mausoleum encloses a burial chamber either wholly above ground or within a burial vault below the superstructure. This contains the body or bodies, probably within sarcophagi or interment niches. Modern mausolea may also act as columbaria (a type of mausoleum for cremated remains) with additional cinerary urn niches. Mausolea may be located in a cemetery, a churchyard or on private land. [²] A small evergreen shrub reaching no more than 40 cm, bog rosemary produces tiny bell-shaped flowers, deep fuchsia when they first open in early May, fading to pale pink by June.(I’m aware the game is theorized to be set in autumn buuuuut. . .theme and such) Despite its name, the flower bears little resemblance to the classic herb, and it is considered extremely poisonous; handle with care and never use it in edible arrangements. In the language of flowers, bog rosemary (Andromeda polifolia) universally symbolizes being "bound by fate" and a plea for help. [³] Uranus, fearing that his children might use their fearsome strength against him, threw them into the dark pit of Tartarus and therein lies the origin of the scythe of Cronus. Gaia pleaded in vain with Uranus to set her children free and, descending into Tartarus, she urged the Titans to conspire against their father. Only the youngest, Cronus, had the courage to obey. Gaia set him free and gave him a scythe. Thanks to that weapon, he defeated his father and declared himself ruler in his stead. The scythe is an implement that cuts down and mows. It is symbolic of that practice as associated with Cronos (Time) who creates only to cut down and devour. [⁴] Gothic literature often plays with the duality of birds as both symbols of freedom and entrapment. While crows and ravens might represent doom, doves and swallows often signify lost innocence or a longing for escape [⁵] It symbolize ‘Freeing’ yourself by ‘Fate’- The ‘Dove’ and ‘Bog-Rosemary’

~Imposter Syndrome~

Kris has a complicated relationship with themself. You look like them. You grew up like them. You’re just like them. By proximity, Kris has a complicated relationship with you, too. Sadistically perverted is another way to phrase it.

WARNINGS: sadism, slight masochism, decent violence, very suggestive, stalking, one-sided obsession

Worth Remembering

(Kris x Reader)

Masterlist

CW: slightly anxious Kris, crying (kind of), comfort read, fluff, (very mild) hurt/comfort

Kris isn’t looking forward to their birthday. You know this, and you also know better than to make it loud. Sometimes love looks like secrets kept, pancakes shared, and a gift chosen with care.

Word Count: 4,160

Kris was already having a rough day at school. Susie hadn’t bothered showing up, and you had decided to actually pay attention in class today, so there was little room for distraction.

That, plus Jockington ad libbing for Alphys’s teaching, Berdly’s interjections every few minutes and Temmie continuously pulling eggs out from Angel knows where… Let’s just say Kris was very overwhelmed, their head was pounding, all the voices seemed to blur together.

So when the final bell rang and signaled the end of the day, they grabbed their stuff to turn to you to ask if you wanted to come over and work on homework together.

But, you were out of your seat and out of the room before the words could even form on Kris’s lips. They sighed, irritated with the day and followed you out into the hall, watching you slip into their mother’s classroom.

Kris grabbed their bag from their locker, shoving their stuff into it messily before following you down the hall, dragging their feet.

As they approach the open classroom door, they catch the bare end of what you’re saying to their mom.

“Just please don’t say anything to Kris,” you say quietly.

AppleBiter — Kris x Bat!Reader (2)

Untangling your own feelings had never been your strong suit. Yet here you were, trying to make sense of how you felt about Kris after the events of that fateful night.

Part 1

Warnings: Blood, love bites, nausea, vomiting, tooth-rotting fluff, slight angst, bad memory, touch starved kris and reader, slightly unreliable narrator, implied abuse, implied eating disorder, implied stalking, jealousy, extremely suggestive but nothing explicit, breaking and entering, mutual pinning, dissociation, hyperawareness.

DISCLAIMER: None of the serious symptoms depicted in this fic, like ED and dissociation, are intended to be romanticised.

I sadly couldn’t include a lot of the things I wanted to put in this fic because I reached the limit and had to cut some parts out 😭 I wanted it to be more fluffier….

I also wanted to reverse the usual roles in a “vampire” story, where the supposed vampire isn’t the one selfishly driven by a desire to bite and drink blood

Also, I hope the switch between the reader being hyperaware and dissociated the next is an ok transition

AppleBiter — Kris x Bat!Reader

Minding your own business was the easiest way to get through the day when you felt detached from your own body. But ever since you started watching Kris in class, curiosity got the better of you. Fortunately, Kris is pretty curious about you, too… mostly about those bat fangs and what happens if you actually bite them.

Hii, everyone <3

I’m gonna keep this short, but last week I had a really good idea for a fanfic and immediately started writing it lol. I’ve always been really fascinated by books where the author knows how to write characters with deep psychological issues, and as someone with depersonalisation (I’m diagnosed), I was really happy with the way Toby wrote Kris and Noelle, who I personally see as representing ddd in their own ways kinda lol. So I wanted to make this x reader about someone who also suffers from it (which is why the narrative is a little wonky), along with some other mental disorders that I’d like you guys to try and guess.

Also, feel free to criticise anything about my fic, I know that it might not be THAT accurate to depersonalisation but it is accurate in my case.

Part 2

Warning: dissociation, touched starved reader and Kris, implied abuse, implied bullying, slightly unreliable narrator, bad memory, mentions of blood, biting, tooth-rotting fluff, slow burn and suggestive at the end but nothing explicit.

imagine Lohen with a partner who is a baker with healing abilities!

You are a sweet, kind baker who lives on the outskirts of Mondstadt! Your home is also your workplace, your bakery! It's a cozy, welcoming environment and most of the knights of favonious visit to relax and enjoy your pastries!

But your pastries contain a special ingredient! No. It's not poison. It's your healing magic! Since you aren't on the battlefield with others, you wanted to incorporate your healing ability in a helpful way, and since you loved baking, you decided to combine the two together!

Everyone in Mondstadt was aware and grateful for how lovely you were!

And.. everyone included that one guy.

Vice Captain Lohen of the 5th company.

You had no issues with him, but you've heard the rumors about him. He was a sadomasochist who always has a taste for blood and battle.. They talked about him like he was a campfire story or urban legend! You haven't met him yourself, but surely those rumors were just rumors. Right?

That was until you got to see him first-hand.

It was another peaceful night at your home, and you were just finishing with closing the bakery for the night! But you begin to hear strange noises from outside. It was unexpected and unnerving considering that this rarely happens, but when it does.. it doesn't mean anything good. So, you took a small peek out your window to see what was happening. And what you saw was... something.

It was Lohen! And he was fighting a horde of monsters by himself! Oh my goodness, he could get seriously hurt! Or worse!

You ran to the kitchen to grab a knife and ran to the scene as fast as you could! Hopefully Lohen was okay and you weren't too lat-

Ah-

It looks like he dealt with the horde by himself, all the monsters are down! You looked a bit ridiculous with the knife in your hand.

But Lohen looks bruised up! You ran to him and offered to patch his wounds with ointments and your special cream puffs and he accepted your offer!

Bruises and all, Lohen was smiling, he had a real goofy smile too.. does he not care about his wounds? Or is he used to this?

You sat him down and began to clean his wounds gently, during the cleaning, the two of you begin to talk! You asked him why he was fighting a bunch of monsters at night.. he responded: "I was going on a nightly stroll! Nothing out of the ordinary! These cream puffs are amazing by the way! I like the tingling sensation it gives.. hehe."

Lohen didn't want to admit it out loud but it felt so, so.. good. And your pastries were divine! He didn't know that they could also heal his wounds! He's so happy that he got to meet you, even if it was like this! You were so kind and gracious to him!! What a sweetheart! Your like a bunny surrounded by a bunch of wolves..

So this was the famous baker everyone was talking about! What a silly way for the two of you to meet! Maybe he should lure a horde of monsters in front of your bakery so he can come in and save you!! Then afterward, you can take care of him.. he wants to feel your warm. Soft fingers trail over his burning wounds again and again!!
