Thinking about the various things across both undertale and deltarune relating to gaster and talking about secrets.
"Hello he he he he have some respect and don't spoil the game."
"It's impossible to have mysteries nowadays."
"Because of NOSY people like you."
"Please keep all of this between us."
"If you post it online, I won't make anymore secrets."
"No one will be impressed"
SURVEY_PROGRAM’s download page:
* FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU ARE ADVISED TO REFRAIN FROM DISCUSSION OF THE PROGRAM FOR 24 HOURS.
* YOU ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN FROM NOW ON.
* Well, i needn’t gossip.
* After all, it’s rude to talk about someone who’s listening.
The Chapter 5 Mike Room Dialogue where Tenna talks with Green Pippins about the contract Spamton signed:
* You TOLD me. You TOLD me you had a bad feeling about that contract.
* That he wasn’t supposed to sign it. That he COULDN’T.
Spamton in chapter 2 when he tries to tell us something about the knight:
* SPEAKING OF [[Communion]]…
* KRIS, DID YOU KNOW THAT THE KNIGHT…
* No, im sorry! Im sorry! I didn’t mean to ——
* TOO MANY EXCESS VACATION DAYS?? TAKE A VACATION STRAIGHT TO HELL
Ralsei talking about the prophecy in Chapter 1:
Ralsei: fulfill the ancient prophecy, foretold by time and space.
In Chapter 4 after solving a piano puzzle:
Susie: … Hey Ralsei, if you know the whole prophecy already…
Susie: … why didn’t you just say how to do the piano?
Ralsei: H-huh? Well, i just thought…
Ralsei: I just thought, isn’t it better if i don’t… say anything?
Hey guys i get the feeling that gaster doesnt like it when people talk about his secrets or says spoilers about the game.
It’d actually be really funny if part of the reason why Ralsei never says too much info in advance is bc Gaster just has a gun to his head like “You can be their guide throughout the adventure. But remember! No spoilers. You’ll ruin the experiment.”
Like the reason Ralsei gives in chapter 4 is that he has so much info that he’s not sure what to say, but i still feel like thats not the whole story. I feel like what he WANTED to say was “I know so much information that not sure what I’m ALLOWED to say yet.” but that would give up the whole deal. Like even after Ralsei says he’ll be more open about what he knows he still withholds some stuff until the last minute.
Bc like… His explanation that he knows too much information and is scared about sharing that burden of information with us (kinda) makes sense for big major stuff. But the piano puzzle??? he’s scared of us knowing the answer to the piano puzzle? Like i feel like he has to have a gag order or something. Also explains why he’s like “Lets not think about it and just accept that he’s our ally now” when Susie is like “Ok are we just not gonna talk about what just happened.” after the Spamton NEO fight. Also explains why Ralsei just skips the giga queen fight and explains the entire deal with the roaring to queen in the weird route, because he already knows things are off track. Also explains why Ralsei is kinda just like “Idk maybe we should ask gerson what this means” when susie asks him about the riddle above the fireplace in gersons study.
(As a side note, most of the shadow crystal bosses so far have either been so incoherent that Ralsei feels no need to explain their words (Jevil) or Ralsei and Susie have been explicitly excluded from most of the plot developments of the sidequest (Spamton & RK) the one fight that ralsei is there for the whole time, Gerson, he never even used the shadow crystal and talks about the prophecy obfuscated through terms of the Lord of the Hammer.)
I also feel like part of the reason why gaster abandoned spamton (and maybe also jevil) is because they told other people about the deal.
I wonder if the reason Seam can help us with the shadow crystal quest is because Seam never made a deal with Gaster in the first place and thus cant be punished for talking about it. (it does make me wonder how they know so much in the first place though.)
This post of kinda getting off track. ill end it here.
