Area lore/hcs
Snowdin is it's regular sorta dreary-looking color scheme, now with the added air pollution and factory themed buildings (cuz i think those are pretty swag, in a dystopian sorta way)
The skeleton brothers' house has a built-in sentry station for when Reach is feeling kinda bad and would prefer "working from home"
The igloo is a railway, take a lil train to the other end of town!
The ice industry + the river that flows through the entire underground isn't for cooling down the core and stuff an this au, cuz the core isn't heat powered, so it's instead they spend their time cleaning the water with filters etc. and it's a system that follows the entire river to make sure the whole underground has access to clean water.
Gasland's got toxic fumes, poisonous shrooms and is overall just a very psychedelic but in-a-way-that'll-definitely-wreck-all-your-insides kinda way. Take a deep breath kiddo, you're in for a hell of a high. (It'll definitely kill you)
Alphys' lab is the Royal Guard's headquarters in this au! Have fun meeting the Head of the Royal Guard as she applies all her sciency nerdshit and mechanic know-how to not only gear up anyone with gas-resistent gear, but also *make* the "robot" that ends up ruling the underground!?
Goose used to help make equipment here, but now he's too busy figuring out how to make the ultimate flamethrower instead.
The mushrooms know your deepest, darkest sins.
Some of them are also edible! But... I wouldn't try my luck.
