have Vulture and Hyena interacted with your other Horror skeletons, and if so how did that go/ what do they think of them?
Out of curiosity they have. And they consider themselves the lucky ones thanks to it.
Condor and Anubis were considered for recruitment, but both have this strange but strong moral compass that prevented them from agreeing. They both feel that someday they can fix things still, and refuse to cause unnecessary harm.
Cuckoo is just fucking BONKERS. He tries to bite, kill, and/or eat every living soul in sight, or tries to feed it to Maned. Being smaller and faster, Cuckoo has nearly toppled both Vulture and Hyena and neither want to talk about that fight.
Grim and Raven avoid others far too much. And Grim attacks anyone who tries to get near Raven, both as warning and to protect his brother. Raven... doesn't listen well. And is very bitey if he smells something new and alive close to him.
Ringo is... something else they don't want to get near.
So while some would be great candidates to work for Nightmare, he's simply had his mark left in those AUs to feed off them.
Vulture and Hyena would prefer to just continue annoying their Classic Past Selves.
The farm boys and horrors reaction to being handed their favorite flower (if they have one)
Also Quail and Mastiff are my fav of ur skellies (leaning more on quail’s side tho lol)
Aaawww thank you! Careful on Quail, he's a huge flirt 😉
under cut bc LONG
FARM:
Pheasant- He likes seeing flowers on his veggies and fruits since it means produce can happen, but I don't think he's a huge flower guy. He'd like a neat edible plant to add to his farm though!
Shepherd- The same as his brother, though he wouldn't mind flowers used in tea! He'd love hibiscus.
Rooster- Its not that he hates flowers, its more he feels he's too dirty and gross for something pretty and fragile. He would get flustered and try to grumble his fluster away while keeping the flowers safe.
Mastiff- Secret romantic at heart. Not so secret easily flustered though. He'd stammer and stutter and be unable to form a single word.
Quail- IMMEDIATE flirts. He loves tiny blue field flowers the most but accepts anything. But oh the FLIRTS. And he's not afraid of getting very, very close ;)
Collie- He likes fragrant flowers, ones you can use in cooking and baking. He might come across as ungrateful but it does mean a lot to him, and he'd show so by gifting honey from his bees.
Hawk- Violets. He loves violets, and calla lilies. For being so boisterous and Mr. 'Next Top Bandit' he's very weak to signs of care and affection.
Coyote- He really likes lavender, and will make a sound like a tea kettle going off. He's a very caring person and would try and gift so many things back- but like, eggshells and feathers and 4 leaf clovers. Things he finds.
Buzz- Sunflowers, and after making sure they're not from HIS garden, he'd flush and mumble a thanks. He's not sure how to handle good social interactions.
Bea- Flowers are nice, but he's drowning in the ones Buzz already grows. GRANTED, he'd love any that can be eaten in foods or drinks. He'd accept and offer meats and jerky in return.
HORRORS:
Condor- He loves peonies, he won't share why. Just if you happen to learn this, you know him well enough that he trusts you. It's more of a test to see if you 1- are trustworthy and 2- pay attention.
Anubis- Roses. He loves roses, the redder the better. He's unfortunately not as confident in his appearance as he used to be but a rose would have him melting.
Cuckoo and Maned- Unfortunately his humanity is gone like Maned's emotions. Offering anything will mean a loss of an arm, then your life.
Raven- He loves everything. Everything is great. He's so happy. But offering a flower- lavender or violets, might spark some sort of memory he shouldn't have. It doesn't last long sadly. He has a high chance of biting too.
Grim- Wildflowers, and he'll cry. He can't accept anyone, he has to keep Raven safe- and people safe from Raven.
Ringo- Sweet strong flowers. They enjoy breathing in the scents and offering the flowers to their baby, Cherry. If Cherry accepts they might let you come closer.
How did the other horror skellies get their injuries?
HorrorFell Boys- Deal gone bad. When food started going scarce, they went into the 'meat' trading business, but refused to do business with Undyne and the Capital. Pissed about this, they set up a trap. Splitting the brothers so only Condor showed. Anubis realized and got to the warehouse to find his brother was alive again and everyone else was dusted. Anubis later gets his wound from Undyne herself.
they are the most sane of the Horror groups.
HorrorSwap Boys- When famine started setting in, Scientist Undyne suggested Maned knew stuff. But Maned (as Fox) is a shut in, anxieties far too high specially now with everyone hungry. Cuckoo was part of the Royal Guard and despite what Queen Alphys wanted, he sort of... ignored the problem. Wouldn't bring Maned in, but wasn't stopping anyone. Royal Guards went to their home and dragged Maned in, bashing his skull open and taking his eye. Cuckoo saw their home was wrecked, rushed to the palace in time to see Undyne holding the eye.
Cuckoo snapped and dusted all but Queen Alphys. Taking Undyne's eye and giving it to Maned. He fiercely defends Maned now, and Maned is... not himself. He doesn't feel anymore.
HorrorSwapFell- Queen Alphys killed Toriel without knowing she would need keywords to control Hound, so he left to protect his brother. Both hid even as Famine rolled into the Underground. Hound (Now Grim) knew both would be in danger from the Royal Guard and new Queen. While Grim was out hunting, Raven was found and dragged to the Castle. they needed Grim's eye for the Core, but decided to test one of Raven's. Didn't work, so to entice Grim to get his ass there faster, Raven... suffered. A lot. When Grim got through the guards he found his brother smiling, having cracked under the pain.
Grim gave up his eye willingly, and of course instead of releasing the brothers, Queen Alphys demanded their deaths. Raven managed to gift Grim his last eye, and Grimm slaughtered the guards and Alphys.
Grim now wears his brother's old scarf to blind himself. Without it, both can see through the eye and suffer pains while doing so. Raven can't speak above a whisper and is much like Maned now, but he can only feel happy. Empty, cold joy that could feed Shattered for ages. He can't see unless Grim is using their eye.
EDIT- NO I DIDN'T FORGET RINGO'S A HORROR....
HorrorFellSwap- The DT in Robin and Dingo's souls won't let them die. So they became an amalgamate... Robin screamed for *days* after getting stuck to his brother, leaving him mostly voiceless. He's slowly become more like Dingo, having been forced to feel real care for others.
They still will eat any soul and have fits of anger.
I wanna learn about the new Horror bros! Any information on them you'd like to share?
Anubis and Condor are the most stable mentally out of all the horror boys. Really, it's just business as usual, they knew their line of work would get them whacked someday. Condor returning to life was unexpected.
Cuckoo is called Koo most the time. His laugh is similar to the Jockey's laugh from Left4Dead 2. Attacks about the same as well.
Maned and Raven don't experience emotion anymore due to their injuries/trauma (Raven 'feels' joy/happiness nonstop but its a ghost of the real emotion). Maned is not afraid to attack anymore, he has no problem fighting now.
Raven will move either like a marionette or overly graceful, either way very creepy. He also will bite anything too close to him if it smells of blood.
Grim and Koo fiercely defend their brothers and are highly suspicious of anyone who tries to get too close, Koo specially will jump the gun and kill on sight.
Condor and Anubis will have quiet days where they stop and look at eachother and let grief take hold for a moment. A 'Damn, we're like this now, huh?' before getting back to business.
Under cut for Murder, Torture, gruesome Horrortale related things
Condor and Anubis- When Asgore, the head of the largest gang, died? It left a huge gap in power and a struggle ensued. Toriel's plan for power failed and she stayed in the ruins. The Heats Flamesman gang took out The Core and caused the famine. Queen Undyne was told by alphys about Condor's eye.
Meanwhile Condor and Anubis started trafficking human meat already. the brothers were strong together, so the two had to be tricked- Condor thought he was going to a safe business meeting and Anubis was checking a trap. Anubis was attacked first, earning his wound, then he bolted to save his brother.
Sadly Condor's eye was yoinked, but he came back and the two wrecked Queen Undyne's men and offed Alphys. His eye was lost, but they continue providing human meat to the market. Only Snowdin's market though.
Cuckoo and Maned- When Queen Toriel was killed, Asgore tried to return. But Captain Alphys drove him off and became Queen. Undyne learned of Maned's eye and the Royal Guard started hounding him. Cuckoo was part of the Guard, yes... But did nothing to stop his brother from being harassed. Maned kept declining to help, and one day Cuckoo returned home to a house ransacked and his brother missing.
He followed the trail and got there too late. Cuckoo snapped, and killed everyone in that building- Royal Scientist Undyne as well. The yellow in his eyelights were now blood red, and he gave Maned one of Undyne's eyes. He feeds and protects his baby brother now.
Raven and Grim- They were so happy to hear their Chamomile killed that awful Queen! With Alphys now Queen- as Asgore didn't want to bother- They doubled down their attempts to rebel. It doesn't go well, but as the famine starts to settle in, they gain some steam...
Until Raven is caught unaware, and brought in. All of Snowdin will be forced to starve, unless he gives them Grim's eye. He refuses, and is tortured again, and again. Grim barges in days late, having fought to get to Raven, who's broken and smiling despite the pain.
Raven indeed gives them Grim's eye... Then he gives Grim his eye. This allows Grim to fight and kill Undyne- who tortured Raven- and many of the Royal Guard. The two escaped with their lives, souls broken. They just run patrols around Snowdin now, considered ghosts or phantoms more than monsters.
