*The camera is snatched up by long, slender fingers, partially covering the lens.
Meth: Does my soul deceive me? Is it not my dreams, but truly you?
Frisk: Hey, give back the camera, I was talking first!
Chara: …Wasn't he supposed to be home today?
Alphys: M-Meth, you can't-
Meth: You've not been well? How dare the stars in the sky not treat you with the radiance of a thousand angels! How dare their feathers not brush the contours of your face!
Chara: Oh, brother…
Meth: Heaven should twist itself down to you, bow upon the sound of your voice, bow like grass in the wind! The wind - oh the wind, has it carried my heart's whispers to you? Do you hear its every beat, the pulse of desire, the-
Alphys: Okay, okay, enough! Enough!
Meth: Do not dare to silence me when the cursed waves of the dark sea have befallen an individual such as-
Alphys: Meth!
*Alphys attempts to take the phone from Meth's hands. It is of no use, as he is much taller than her. Instead, it leaves her jumping on her tip-toes. She looks like a puppy whose owner is holding out of reach…
Frisk: (This is kind of pathetic…)
Chara: …You don't say.
Frisk: (Should we do something about this?)
Chara: I think he might kill us if we don't let him finish.
Frisk: (I think he might kill HIMSELF with lack of airflow if he keeps talking faster than he's breathing.)
Chara: I see nothing wrong with that.
Meth: The sea, do not allow it to drown you! And the sirens call, do not give in! There is a lighthouse ahead, hidden in that deep fog! Mark my words, the light will bask you!
Alphys: M-Meth! Frisk had first dibs!
Meth: There are no "dibs" in desire, my dear friend!
Frisk: Chara...please...
Chara: Ugh, fine, I'll take care of it.
*Chara floats up to the two tussling adults and does the unthinkable. They tug the camera out of Meth's hands, dropping it right into Alphys's claws. So they can interact with objects, then? Alphys immediately sprints with the camera. Meth, on the other hand, seems...frozen.
*Frisk is trying hard not to laugh.
Chara: Satisfied, princess?
Frisk: (Yes, my angel. Extremely.)
Alphys: A-Aha! You-you dropped it!
Meth: I would never release my grasp on an opportunity such as-...
Meth: ... *Frisk clears their throat.
Frisk: A-As I was saying! I would not consider myself the "savior."
Chara: You are far too modest.
Frisk: Most of that credit is owed to someone far holier than I.
Chara: ?
Frisk: ...
Alphys: U-Um...who-who are you referring to?
Frisk: My angel...
Chara: !!!
Chara: F-Frisk!?
Alphys: O-Oh, I...I didn't realize you were the-the religious type, Frisk!
Meth: ...I would have never placed you as such, either.
Frisk: And I would have never placed you as the type of man who loses all rationale at the sight of-
Alphys: OKAY, this r-recording is long enough! Th-Thank you, Sam, for the response! I-I assure you, you a-absolutely deserved every c-compliment!
Meth: You deserve worship! Perhaps I shall add you to my religion!
Frisk: Please play music for us someday!
Meth: The gates of my mind will stay open for you, and your presence within my dreams shall-

Frisk: (Is- Is that...?!)
Chara: It's...it's...directed at ME!?
Alphys: O-Oh! Wow, y-you're all so c-curious about us as people!
Chara: I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! THEY CAN SEE ME! THEY CAN HEAR ME!
Frisk: ...?!
Alphys: I-I'm surprised...I expected more, um, scientific or-or cultural asks...erm! N-Not to say that I am surprised in a-a bad way! I-It's a pleasant surprise.
Chara: I TOLD YOU, FRISK! I TOLD YOU!
Prometheus: Love the most? My, what a nuanced question. It's hard to narrow down...I jest! I know the answer right away! Loyalty, I love loyalty the most. There is nothing I despise more than people who will stab you in the back and watch the life leave your eyes.
*Chara continues dancing around, clearly delighted by the acknowledgement. Frisk is too stunned to pay attention to Meth's antics...*
Alphys: ...
Alphys: ...I-I, uh...I agree with Meth about l-loyalty, eheheh...but I also l-love p-people with p-passion!
...
Alphys: U-Um...Frisk are you...okay?
Frisk: Huh? The question, erm, the question was- right, yes, sorry, zoned out for a sec! W-What I love most in a person is...protectiveness. And maybe even...a little bit of possessiveness?
Meth: How interesting!
Chara: Well, what I love most in a person is open-mindedness and resilience!
Alphys: T-Thank you for another lovely question!
*Frisk and Chara step aside to answer the second half, which only they received.
Chara: Finally, some well-deserved recognition! This is for you, splendid viewer! My absolute favorite thing about Frisk...is that I can always prove them wrong!
Frisk: Chara! C'mon, answer seriously!
Chara: Alright, alright! My favorite thing about Frisk is that...even when they are angry and tired...and the world is against them...they find a way to win with kindness.
Frisk: Chara...
Chara: Don't get hung up on it, it's your turn now!
Frisk: A-Ah, right...well...my favorite thing about you...is that you always think of others first. Your inability to read people never stops you from trying...

Oliver, Sam, Ember, Athena, and Mary are all her characters who will be recurring in the DH comic series.
Most canon characters cannot see Chara, meaning Sam cannot see them, however non-canon people may or may not be able to - its up to you to decide as you send an ask in.)

*Meth watches with a...strange intensity on his face.
*Frisk and Chara can't help but giggle by the end of the video.
Alphys: W-Wow...I-...
*Alphys seems to be struggling not to get emotional.
Alphys: What a- a sweet message...! I...I was very h-happy to- to help...! And I know she was, too. We h-had no reason to turn your request down...there's no discrimination for who receives care h-here, it's given out p-purely on the basis of-of whatever people weren't already receiving treatment, and ne-need it most direly...your sister is a k-kind woman, and deserved a-a chance. And you also seem like a-a compassionate brother...admittedly, you remind me a-a bit of my own brother. Oh, and, I would love to hear you play someday, eheheh!
Frisk: Me too, musicians are so frikkin cool! Which makes you cool by default! I hope you are doing well!
Chara: Of course you'd say that, you nerd.
Frisk: (You're also a nerd - an even bigger one, I dare say - so don't even get me started!)
Meth: ...
Alphys: E-Erm- Meth, are you-
Meth: Enthralled?
Alphys: I-I was going to say "okay", a-actually-
Meth: There is no okay in a moment such as this.
Frisk: Is...something...wrong??
Chara: I don't think I want to know.
Meth: The only thing wrong here is that my ears are left melancholy, aching for the sweet serenade to caress and grip my eardrums! Oh, what lost potential! If only he'd taken them into his sweet ivory hands, stolen them away to tuck beneath his pillowcase, to enrich me every twinkling night!
Alphys: Stolen your...eardrums???
Frisk: ...
Meth: Yes! To take my eardrums is to be more intimate than to take my heart! The only act of intimacy which exceeds would be to reach a limb into my brain and take a squeeze! Though, with the right lyrics, it may be achieved simultaneously!
Alphys: U...UM???
Frisk: ...Do-Do I need to leave???
Chara: To my audience - I would like to tell you that he's having a brain aneurysm from being so GAY, but unfortunately this is just how he speaks.
Meth: Oh, such dedication! To turn oneself in for the sake of ones family! There is no greater act of loyalty!
Alphys: I-I don't think this is a very appropriate response-
Meth: Appropriate? How might I be any more appropriate than to tell a loyal man how charming and desirable he is?
Chara: I do believe this is what people nowadays would refer to as..."simp behavior."
Alphys: W-Well- I mean- I-I just don't want viewers to- to get the idea that t-this is a dating show or-or- or that we will b-be parasocial, or-
Meth: Oh, you lavishly dapper skeletal sweet, if your eyelights dare to lay gaze upon this record, and your soul yearns for a connection which expands beyond the restraints of this universe, please know you are welcomed to reach out to my socials at any point for plentiful philosophies or more. Tell me, stunning, which hospital you are staying at? Perhaps we may make an arrangement for your release!
Alphys: Meth, h-he has serious tr-treatments for-

*Ask Blog: Start!
---------------
Note: This takes place during the DH comic, not too long after Monsters have been freed from the underground.
When characters discuss their pasts, it is canon for the DH comic.
However, anything in the present or future of this ask series is an alternate timeline, and does not reflect the direction that the DH comic is headed. In the DH comic, this ask blog does not exist.
Rules!
-You are allowed limited AU shenanigans. You can have alternate versions of the UT cast send in asks, but you cannot have them physically interfere (ie; no Error Sans appearing in the lab to mess things up.) This also means you can’t have them touch our characters (ie; no Frisk-on-Frisk hugs.)
-You can send in your own/your ocs physical interaction (ie; hugs, head ruffles, etc) to the characters, but whether or not they accept is up to them. They may not consent to being touched.
-Absolutely no sexual asks to Frisk, Chara, or any other kids.
-Sexual asks are allowed for the adult characters, but nothing pornographic (ie; "Are you a virgin", "have you ever hooked up with [insert person]?" and similar questions are acceptable, but "have you ever [insert sexual act]" is not acceptable.)
-You are allowed to send simping asks to the adult characters (ie; "You're so hot"), but nothing pornographic. Suggestive asks of this nature are on thin ice (ie; "I wish we could spend some alone time together" is acceptable, but "I wish I could [insert sexual act]" is not acceptable.)
-No using the wrong pronouns. If you send in an ask with the wrong pronouns, it will not be answered.
-No sending asks to characters who aren't currently present. This ask blog is centered around Meth, Frisk, Chara, and Alphys - however, occasional guests may join in. When guests are present, you may send asks to them, but you can't continue when they are no longer present.
And, of course:
-No ableism (this includes misusing terms like narcissist, sociopath, psychopath, psychotic, bipolar, OCD, etc. It also includes treating people with personality disorders, behavioral disorders, paraphilic disorders, addictive/dependant disorders, etc as “inherently evil” or “inherently abusive.”)
-No sexism, misogyny, transmisogyny, transandrophobia, exorsexism (including xenicphobia), or intersexism.
-No homophobia, monosexism, aphobia, or polyphobia.
-No racism, cultural discrimination, or religious discrimination.
If we think your ask was meant to be in good faith, but accidentally included something bigoted, we will respond to it with correction of the inappropriate behavior.

Prometheus: Welcome, welcome, welcome!
Frisk: Hello, internet!
Chara: Greetings, world!
Frisk: (They can’t hear you, Chara.)
Chara: You don’t know that!
Frisk: (Pretty sure I do, silly.)
Alphys: H-Hi! Erm, I mean- Hello everyone! It’s a-a pleasure to be participating in-in something big like t-this!
Meth: Indeed! Participation is the reward for those that have walked among shadows and craved a sunbeam on their face!
Alphys: H-Huh? W-What do you-?
Chara: Oh, golly, don’t get him started…
Frisk: (Ignore him, Aunt Alphys, he’s being incoherent as always.) Yes, a pleasure it is! This is the help and discussion blog for MHPO - the Monster-Human Peace Organization! You’ve certainly seen the three of us on TV quite a lot recently, and probably have many questions about magic, monsters, hybrids…and us!
Alphys: Y-Yes! This-this is where you c-can reach out to ask a-about monster and h-hybrid biology and culture, magical con-constructs and usage, a-and m-magical culture and history!
Prometheus: It is also where you may inquire about us! Our lives, our personalities, our experiences! Our heads, our guts, our gravity! You’ve seen our faces, and it is here that you may see into our cores.
Alphys: ...
Frisk: Yeah! You can ask whatever your heart desires. W-Well, okay, maybe there are some limitations. But enough with the rambling! My name is Frisk Dreemurr and I use they/them pronouns! I am 14-years-old, and the human ambassador for monsterkind!
Chara: My name is Chara Dreemurr and I use they/them pronouns! It/its is acceptable as well! I am 15 years of age, and stand as the expired human prince of monsterkind!
Frisk: (They still can’t hear you, Chara…)
Chara: Just let me have my fun.
Alphys: I-I am Dr Alphys, the-the head of the MHC - aka, the, um, m-magic health center…! My p-pronouns are she/her.
Prometheus: And I am Prometheus Arlong, CEO of MHPO! You may bestow upon me the title of Meth, if it tickles your mind! I use he/him pronouns, I suppose.
Frisk: We hope to speak with you all soon!
Alphys: P-Please send things our way!
Chara: And prove Frisk wrong by sending me a question!
*The usual happy beaming from the child is different now. They feel like they are intruding now*
*seems they attempted to bring back their usual confidence. And they all see the star eye hidden in their long hair for a moment*
Ask 4 of 7 for the visitor! (They may choose to leave before the 7 are up, if they wish.) See first: Ask 1 of the visitor, Ask 2 of the visitor, Ask 3 of the visitor
(Note: After they leave, the visitor will be unable to physically return for at least 20 more asks. The visitor will be allowed to send letters in the meantime, but a physical appearance will need to wait.)

Frisk: You are an object with power? Wow, that's very different from me!
Alphys: U-Um- who- who is the second kid you're referring to?
Chara: Oh boy...uhh... (Shit, I didn't think this far about what would happen if someone could see me...)
Frisk: (You dummy.)
Meth: So you gather children from the multiverse? And this doesn't have any negative effects on the structure of those worlds?
Frisk: Who is your papa?
Alphys: D-Did your world, uhh...collapse or some-something? Is- Is that insensitive to ask? N-Nevermind, don't answer that!
To Prometheus: Quite an interesting nickname you got there... Hmm... Did- did Frisk happen to tell you that about your nickname? (Maybe not... They might be too young to know...)

Prometheus: Why, pray tell, would Frisk of all people be the one to tell me? Don't you think I have many adults in my life who've said something?
Prometheus: That being said, Frisk is a teenager...they have certainly heard of meth. And I am fully aware of my nickname's meaning. It's very intentional.

*Frisk and Chara go to another room for their question.
Frisk: Human souls have seven main types, but according to Aunt Alphys, some have more than one color. It's really rare though.
Chara: The seven main types have different shades of their color, depending on a person's magical strength and corruption levels.
Frisk: There's also anomalies where human souls don't fall into the seven colors, but that's even MORE rare than a soul having more than one color.
Chara: The rare colors are pink, brown, tan, gold, turquoise, light grey, dark grey, black, and see-through.
Frisk: They don't seem to have any new magical abilities, though. They're just shoot-offs of the typical seven. Pink for red, brown and tan for orange, gold for yellow, turquoise for green, light grey for cyan, dark grey for blue, and black for purple.
Chara: See-through, though, was back in the vampiric era, before the colors really became a thing in humans.
Frisk: This isn't exactly what you asked, but Reapers have rainbow souls when their magic is overloaded. They aren't human, though.

*Alphys steps aside for the question directed at her.
Alphys: To-To be honest...it's a bit difficult to answer this. While my old projects didn't exactly turn out the way I e-expected, and had many flaws...I don't feel shame for them anymore. T-They led to amazing discoveries, and...the people who were negatively affected by them...are happy now.
Alphys: In regards to my-my old projects, I think I really am proud of the-the DETERMINATION experiments. I h-haven't told the surface public about this before, so you likely have n-no idea what I'm referencing...but-but basically, if- if you extract DETERMINATION from a-a human soul, it can be used to heal usually-fatal injuries. It...it doesn't have the best affect on monsters when i-injected raw...monsters don't have enough physical matter to withstand it, so it leads to-to...health issues...however! When you c-combine a monster, an object, and a-a DT injection...say...a monster with a doll...or a monster with a flower...it-it can hold their form together! This is-is a massive deal when it comes to disabilities or incidents that have led to a monster falling down, a-as a monster could be revived to full health with a DT binding agent and a-a new physical form...!
Alphys: A-As for my newer projects...I-I'm really proud of t-the extraction experiments! See, I-I've figured out a technique to summon monster souls without them shattering. This-this is a huge breakthrough, because monster souls have previously only been summoned during s-soulbinding processes, which m-means that soul surgeries have been invasive, requiring most monsters to be cut open to access the soul. But now, I've crafted a way to-to summon them for medical procedures! Once this becomes generalized practice, it will lessen the invasiveness of soul surgeries, and-and minimize bodily scarring! This procedure wasn't possible underground due to-to the lack of Titan remnants, which can only r-really form on the surface... Now that we're here, Meth has been having his workers gather samples for me to-to use in my tests! I-I am very grateful to him.
