Are the monsters coherent enough to recognise someone as their leader, for example Asgore or Toriel?
Are monsters capable of eating each other? Do they not turn to dust? Why are they so hostile towards each other if they don't eat each other?
How many humans have fallen to the underground? Are their souls harvested as in the original Undertale or is it more like HorrorTale? I'd think that if they don't collect human souls at least out of some primal instinct they would at least consume it on the spot? Are the human souls simply lost just like that? Is there a way to escape the underground? Is there even actually a barrier?
*sharp inhale* I need answers👀!!
Yayyyy more asks!!!
Ask masterlist
"Are the monsters coherent enough to recognize someone as their leader, for example Asgore and Toriel?"
Yes! Even the mindless ones know who their master is. "Everyone's" just in denial.
"Are monsters capable of eating each other? Do they not turn to dust?"
Uhhhhh I haven't decided if I wanted normal Monsters to have insides so I could have that sweet sweet gore, or keep it as dust when they die and they bleed less the more normal they are.
But anyway, even if they don't have flesh, yeah. Monsters could (but no Monster is a cannibal by default -_-) eat dust lmao it just tastes nasty
(imagine if they can get madcow disease from it like how humans get it when they eat raw brains!? :OOO)
"Why are they so hostile to each other if they don't eat each other?"
It's hard for monsters to comprehend or positive emotions like safety.
Fun fact:
Despite the impression the introduction of the AU gave, Monsters aren't insane by default. The underground still has laws and the royal guard! Even they're... "A little" unreliable when you actually need them.
"How many humans have fallen into the underground?"
One recorded so far. (Frisk)
"Are their souls harvested as in the original Undertale or is it more like HorrorTale? I'd think that if they don't collect human souls at least out of some primal instinct they would at least consume it on the spot?"
Nahhh Monsters aren't rabid creatures by default too! And again, the only human Monster kind knows is down here is Frisk.
And... MonsterKind has no drive to gather souls. (I'll say why two questions down)
"Are the human souls simply lost just like that?"
###### would never let them have such power if a human perished down here.
"Is there a way to escape the underground?"
[redacted] (I can't answer this question so early on)
"Is there even a barrier?"
[redacted] (I can't answer this question so early on)

I was terrified of Ursula as a child. I used to think she lived under the stairs in my basement.
Anyways I love Azul Ashengrotto with all my heart <3

“Heeeey, Azul, we’re baaaack...” One of a pair of twins called into the seemingly empty grotto.
“We saw (Y/N) today.” The other twin mentioned.
“Oh, did you? What a pleasant surprise.” The octopus merman residing within the dark cave responded. “How did she look?”
“Positively beautiful.”
“Y’know, Azul, I have no idea why you’re so interested in her... she’s just some ditzy mermaid, what’s so different about her compared to every other mermaid?”
“Don’t call her that, Floyd.” Azul angrily said. “She isn’t just some ‘ditzy mermaid’, ok?”
“Whatever.” Floyd rolled his eyes. “Anyways, if you’re so into her, why not just tell her already~?”
“We’ve discussed this before. I have a plan.”
“Ah, and speaking of that...” Jade began. “I noticed something today while observing (Y/N). She had a scar on her tail.”
“I’m sorry, what did you say?” Azul asked... or, moreso demanded.
“Yes, (Y/N) had a scar on her tail. Quite a large one, might I add.” Jade explained.
“Oh yeeeeeeah...! Hehe, her love of humans got her pretty hurt, eh Jade~?”
“Yes, it did, Floyd.” Despite sounding somber, Jade had a smile on his face.
Azul was filled with rage at the thought. How DARE somebody do that to you?! Why did they think they had the right to hurt you- why did they think they had the right to touch you?!
“Floyd. Jade. Go find (Y/N).” Azul demanded. “Find her and bring her to me. It seems I will be enacting my plan sooner than I thought.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You sat on a rock, crying. If only you weren’t a mermaid... if you were human, he would’ve loved you. If you were human, he wouldn’t have immediately called you a monster.
If only you weren’t a mermaid...
“Well isn’t this just sad~?”
“Indeed it is.”
“W-who’s there?!” You yelled out. Two eel mermen revealed themselves, both smiling creepily...
“There’s no need to be so hostile.”
“Yeah! We just wanna help you~!”
“Help me...? How can you help me...?”
“Oh no, not us. But we know someone who can.”
“Azul Ashengrotto~”
...you’d heard that name before. There were rumours of an octopus merman who went by that name. They say he could grant any wish you have... for a price.
“No, no... I-I can’t possibly...” You began to think of all the ways this could go wrong.
“No? Well it is what it is, I suppose.”
“It was just a suggestion...”
As the eel mermen slowly swam away from you, you began considering things. Yes, things could obviously go wrong, but... if he can grant any wish you have, then...
“Wait-!” You yelled out. The twins immediately stopped and turned back to look at you, an unsettling toothy grin on both their faces. “On second thought... please take me to him!”
“It would be our pleasure.”
They grabbed your hands and led you along.
When the three of you happened upon a cave, the two let go of you.
“Hey Azuuuuuul~! You have a visitor!” One of them said, pushing you inside the cave.
“Ah, greetings, (Y/N). I’ve been waiting for you.” A voice from deep within the cave called out to you.
You continued deeper into the cave, until-
You saw him. Azul. The octopus merman who granted wishes, not unlike the Sea Witch herself.
“I... I-I’m here for-” Before you could finish your sentence, a tentacle pressed itself against your lips, shushing you.
“Oh, I know what you’re here for.” Azul told you. “Poor, unfortunate souls such as yourself always come to me for one reason.” He placed a hand on his chest. “You need my help.”
“I do...” You admitted. “I... I want you to make me human!”
“...excuse me? You want to become human? You... don’t want to get back at those who hurt you?”
“If I was a human, then he’d love me... I’m sure of it.” You explained. “So all I want from you is to turn me into a human!”
“Well, Angelfish, that’s a bit of a tall ask...” Azul paused for a moment. “But just for you, I can find a way to make it happen!”
“Y-you can?!”
“Why of course! Though... I will need adequate payment.” He explained. “You can’t get something for nothing, you know!”
“Oh, but I don’t have any m-”
“Don’t you worry your pretty little head off, (Y/N)! I’m not asking for money.” Azul got very close to you... a bit too close. He placed a hand on your chin. “I want your voice.”
“My voice...?”
“So, (Y/N), this is the deal.” Azul backed away from you, a magical golden contract scroll appearing above his hand. “I will make you a potion that will turn you into a human for three days. In that time, you are to get that human you like so much to fall in love with you, all without your voice, understand? If you can do that, then you’ll remain human permanently. But if not, well... you’ll turn back into a mermaid. And you will belong to me.”
“Can I really do that without talking to him...?”
“Why of course you can! I believe in you, (Y/N)!”
The part of the contract that stood out the most to you was the ominous “For all eternity.” at the bottom. Azul handed you a pen made of the skeleton of a small fish.
"Have we got a deal, (Y/N)~?"
Your eyes scanned the golden contract as Azul began preparing your potion, showing he fully expected you to agree to his deal. He hummed a tune to himself as he did.
You grabbed the fish pen tightly. All of your dreams can come true if only you sign the scroll...
Without hesitating any further, you wrote your name on the dotted line.
"You signed? Perfect! Then, It's a Deal!"
It felt so strange when the deal was completed. It felt like your voice was literally sucked out from your throat. And suddenly, you no longer had a tail. Instead, where it once was, there were a pair of legs.
And soon after that, you could no longer breathe the water.
"Jade, Floyd, bring her to the surface. We wouldn't want her drowning before she can attempt to finish the deal now, would we~?"
"Of course." "Will do~!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The days are not unlike crashing waves. They come and go in a second; before you know it they're gone. An unfortunate truth for someone on a time limit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two days came and went. You had made no progress with the human you loved... there's no way you can complete your end of the bargain!
These past two days, you've noticed that the sea tends to calm you down when you're panicking. Makes sense, seeing as you were born there. So you were looking out at the sea, watching the sunset... watching the time draw ever nearer. As you panicked, you failed to notice someone walk up you you. A human man with silver hair and glasses...
"Excuse me, are you alright?" He asked. You shook your head no, starting to tear up. "Well, what's wrong?"
You tried talking, but no matter how loud you tried to scream, nothing came out.
"Oh, can you not speak? My apologies." He sat down beside you. "My name's Vance. I can accompany you, if you'd like." You nodded, and wiped your tears. "I've seen you around here recently. By the looks of things, you like that fisherman, yes? Unfortunately, he's already married."
He's married? That human you entered this contract for is married?
All of this has been for nothing.
"Huh? What's wrong, Angelfish?" Vance asked you. "There's no need to cry! Sure, you may not get to have that guy, but... you could always have me."
Vance gave you a tight hug... but something didn't seem quite right. "Angelfish"... hasn't someone called you that before...?
That was when you realized. You pushed him away from you, standing up and stumbling slightly backwards.
"Oh. So you noticed, did you?" He asked. "Well, it's a good thing we're near the sea, (Y/N)... your time is up!"
You watched as 'Vance' transformed into exactly who you thought he was.
Azul grabbed you, with his arms and tentacles, and pulled you into the water with him. You were worried you'd drown, but found yourself being able to breathe in the water, leading you to a horrible realization: your time really had run out.
"You and I will have a wonderful life together, (Y/N)." Your face was pressed tightly against Azul's chest, and with his multiple limbs holding you, there was no way you could get out of this hug. "We will love each other for all eternity... just as I had wanted."
Guys Dorlene movie nights In Marlene's childhood bedroom In Scotland.
Marlene can't take her eyes off of the screen, she's put on her favourite movie (Rocky horror because her and Sirius are alt queer 70s cliches together) and she's just staring with her mouth hanging slightly open and her eyes wide even though she's seen it a million times before.
Dorlene on the other hand hasn't looked at the screen in 30 minutes, her eyes are fixed on Marlene. Quietly watching the light from the little box television flicker across her face and brighten her eyes. Dorcas would stay in this moment forever, if only she could.
