What would Roo think of Physis!Alphys by @susartwork ?
Well, he'd automatically avoid her like he does with most Alphys'. The scar would raise some questions, but he wouldn't recognise she's from Horrortale unless someone tells him.
(Whilst he didn't do anything to his Alphys, he's spoken to other Horrors about what happened to them and their Alphys' (which satisfies Roo a little bit).)
So he'd probably observe Alphysis from a distance, because he's curious how she's still functioning. But knowing she's from HT makes him even more scared to be near her. Too many bad memories.
what's Roo's fight like? Does Frisk ever fight Roo?
Great question anon!! I've been cooking up some ideas about this for a little while now >:}
To answer both questions, Roo very rarely attacks with his fists. They don't get physical often because they are not very physically strong, but her magic is. In my AU I'm kind of playing around with the idea of different skeleton families having different blaster types, like the blaster Red and Edge have would be different from the blaster Roo has.
Frisk does not fight Roo, unless they do a genocide route! If Frisk chooses a genocide route, Roo will fight Frisk in Snowdin, if they return to Snowdin after killing off Edge.
In a pacifist or neutral route, Roo would not engage with Frisk in combat. Roo tends to avoid combat in general, so the only way Frisk could see Roo in combat in a pacifist or neutral route would be if Frisk was attacked by another monster in front of Roo. This would have to occur after Frisk had befriended either Edge or Red. Roo would protect Frisk, but only if the attack is within their line of sight. If Frisk had not befriended Edge or Red, Roo would not engage in combat.
I actually amused that roo got chase by his alternative self along side with dust and killer. They're know as manic in multiverse for that! I respect your bravery hahahaha.
A question for roo: How you feel first time being chase by horror alongside his friends.
A question for exec: I actually curious...what you think of Xgaster and epictale gaster ? They the most hilarious duo I ever seen and find them very fun to annoying with questions from Anons
[EXEC] Really Though... The Bike Thing Is Getting Ridiculous Now.
[ROO] yeah yeah, i get it... it's expensive and 'phys bites your head off everytime it happens.
[EXEC] Not That. (Well, Yes, That Too.) The Bikes Are The Only Thing That Allows You To Travel AUs. Breaking It Only Traps You There. Why Do You Even Have That Ridiculous Metal Pipe Of Yours, If You Just Resort To Throwing The Bike?
[ROO] hey, i use it! but sometimes i just... go on autopilot. i'm not good with stress. you know that.
[* Exec sighs.]
[EXEC] Roo. I Understand Your Circumstances... But Break Another Bike, And 'Phys Can Bite Your Head Off Instead Of Mine.
1. hey roo can you clarify what the agreement was about the horrortale/hunger inflicted universes?I assume it has to do with their canon events right? so if the creators have left the story open ended you TECHNICALLY CAN bend some rules... right?
there's a bunch of aus that are OPEN to multiversal interaction but are dying because their creator has abandoned them. still! I think they were near aus so I held onto their memory. can you pay them a visit for me?
2. are you aware of the "hunger"? that the void corrupts them to consume everything?
3. how strict is your boss roo?
[ROO] and his ability to keep track of everything is inhuman (heh). hard to trust someone who's so obscure.
I posted these on twitter, but decided I should also post them here for everyone o/
Facts below the cut!
WARNING: it's. really long.
1. UnderEats!Sans is nicknamed 'Roo'. This is a shortened version of 'Deliveroo'. I chose it because the AU's name was already based on 'Uber Eats' and wanted to keep the theme relevance.
2. Roo originates from a Horrortale timeline variant. It was destroyed before he left to meet with Undyne, meaning his skull was never shattered, nor his eye taken. (Horrortale belongs to sour-apple-studios)
3. He's 4'4" / 132cm tall. He's not insecure about his height, but he doesn't like how tall everyone else is…
4. Since his timeline's gone, Roo's homeless. He'll either stay at Arbiter's store, nap in a random AU, or pay for an inn somewhere.
5. He works as a multiversal food delivery driver. His job is to collect food from various restaurants across the Multiverse, then use his AU-hopping moped to instantly transport the food to the customer's AU/address. (... its just uber eats but in undertale)
6. He's not supposed to, but if you bribe him with cash or food (anything with BBQ in it), he'll give you a free ride to another AU. He can be bribed to do other things, also. but only for cold, hard, cash. (and nothing inappropriate)
7. In his timeline, he spent a lot of time raising morale, handling rations and thinking of solutions for their food crisis. Due to this, Roo's not very lazy anymore. But he still loves to take naps.
8. He's extremely nervous around other Alphys', after seeing her stare at him so intensely, and hearing her plan from the echo flowers. He's okay around Swapped Alphys'. Usually.
9. He's pretty frugal, only buying food or paying for an inn room every so often.
10. He has a lot of food and snacks stored in his inventory, but not to eat. He instead hands it out to other people who might need it.
11. He can't handle high-stress/danger situations. If he can't find a solution to the problem quickly enough, he kind of. Shuts down. It results in him making very stupid decisions. Like throwing a moped at someone.
12. Due to his repeated destruction of company property, most of his pay goes towards paying off the broken bikes. It's... going to take a while to pay it off. (He's still going to keep throwing the mopeds).
13. Roo can also ride bicycles, motorbikes, and some types of cars. But he likes mopeds because they're small and easy to nap on.
14. Doesn't really use his phone outside of work purposes, so he's a bit of a social media boomer. The grimace shake trend is a horrific mystery to him. He doesn't even know what 'simp' means.
15. His magic eye LOOKS green, but it's not. It's the same blue/yellow that Classic Sans has, but it's moving so fast that it blends together to green.
16. He has the same stats as Classic Sans.
17. He still likes ketchup. He just thinks BBQ sauce is the superior condiment.
18. He's always wearing a hat, or something that covers his head. It's because he's trying to break a bad habit of scratching at his skull. Instead, he fiddles with the hat.
19. He's actually a pretty good cook! On his days off, he likes to practice.
20. His favourite place to eat is Grillby's 2 (a multiversal version of the OG). He's good friends with the Grillbys that run the place and the food is always good.
21. He has a soft spot for Grillbys and other Horrors. He's nice to them and always asking if they're good. (He's still shaken from his Grillby... 'melting'...)
22. He's one of those people that constantly complains about doing something, but still does it anyway.
23. He has an excellent memory when it comes to remembering addresses/co-ordinates to other AUs. Ask him about a specific place and chances are, he'll know where you're talking about.
24. He likes his job because it's simple. He likes simple. It means less stress. Despite being a simple job, certain customers love increasing his stress levels. T_T
25. His hands are a bit scratched up from stress-scratching. That's part of the reason why he likes to wear gloves all the time. The other part is: he just likes wearing them.
26. He doesn't like wasting food/drinks. If you make something (edible) for him, even if he doesn't want it, he'll try to eat it, just so it doesn't go to waste.
27. He's not picky with what he eats. If it's edible, he'll eat it. If it's not edible, he'll... pretend to eat it.
28. He used to be friends with a part-time worker, who was an Undyne. After certain events occured, he no longer makes friends with the other workers!
29. Roo dislikes Exec's 'don't interfere with timelines' rule. He thinks that if you can help, you should. But he also doesn't want to lose the job, so his help ends up being rather limited…
30. He hates delivering to the Doodlesphere. He has a policy in place with the Star Sanses: if he delivers and they're in the middle of a fight, they have to tip him double... he makes a lot of money delivering to the Doodlesphere.
31. Roo likes going to a random AU and taking a nap in it. Sometimes, if he's bored, he'll explore the AU a little bit. He's not supposed to be seen in AUs that aren't involved/aware of the multiverse, so he either skips them or sneaks around.
32. If he comes across a starving timeline, he'll leave behind some food. Nothing big, just enough to survive a little longer. He doesn't want Exec to become aware of his 'timeline-intefering'. (Exec already knows. But they allow it, since it doesn't really affect much.)
33. If he ever lost his job, he'd go work with Arbiter in the Condiment Hall (a convenience store that specialises in well, condiments), or go to the Omega Timeline.
34. His eye sockets are naturally 'droopy'.
35. His bones can rattle. It only happens when he's scared. It's embarrassing.
36. He drinks, but only 'socially' (AKA, if you hand him a drink, he'll drink it). He's not a lightweight. But the process of getting drunk makes him feel queasy. When he's actually drunk, he starts acting stupid.
37. He gets easily flustered/embarrassed if you give him any positive attention. When that happens, he tugs on his hat to hide his face.
38. He doesn’t like fighting. If he ends up in an encounter, he either tries to escape it, or he gets too stressed (aka goes stupid mode).
39. If someone is in trouble (and he’s ACTUALLY able to help), he’ll do his best to remove them from the situation. Don’t ask him to fight for you. He won’t.
40. He favours using blue magic in fights to keep opponents away from him/rooted in place. If that fails, he'll TP to a safe distance.
41. If his life is truly in danger, his survival instincts kick in, and he’ll fight like it’s a genocide route.
41b. His thoughts are switched ‘off’ during this. He fights automatically.
42. He has a metal pipe for joke purposes. Sometimes he’ll drop it because the sound is hilarious to him. He also uses it as an impromptu weapon.
43. The best description for Roo is that he’s Aro Ace. He has no desire for anything beyond friendship.
44. He’s lost track of his age, but he’s in his late 20s/early 30s. His birthday is the 8th of September (International Food Delivery Day)!
45. He’s fine interacting with other Papyruses, but if they show any familiarity with him, it weirds him out. (i.e: calling him 'Brother')
46. Roo misses his Papyrus, but… a part of him is glad that he’s not suffering anymore. But that kind of thinking also makes him mad... It’s a difficult subject. He doesn't like to think about it.
47. Either he’s grumpy, loud and rude (usually with difficult people). Or chill and more like a Classic (most of the time).
47b. He’s also a very expressive skeleton. His facebones are quite flexible. (does that even make sense?)
48. Everytime he gets an order from the Bad Sanses, his day gets ten times worse. He has to start mentally planning an escape route to minimise trouble.
49. Roo feels a strange kind of survivor’s guilt when he sees other Horrors. He’s aware of how lucky he is compared to his counterparts.
50. Sometimes, he has nightmares of a Horror clawing out his eye, wanting to ‘make them match’.
51. He loves getting tips and bribes. His prices are always fair - he doesn’t like extorting people. But er, if you insist enough times, he’ll just… take it and pay it forward. (cough)
52. Roo loves antagonising Swap Papyrus. Swap Paps antagonises him back. Roo also loves getting Swap Sans to lecture Paps for antagonising him.
53. He still has the ability to Judge, and quietly checks anyone he comes across. Just as a safety precaution.
54. His mouth can open, but it usually stays shut. It only opens when he's yawning or eating something big. He can eat some things/drink without opening his mouth. How? Who knows.
55. He doesn’t enjoy science anymore, and tends to avoid it. But sometimes he sees something interesting and becomes curious.
56. There’s an Outertale Burgerpants called Burpi that he loves to antagonise. It seems he knows something embarrassing the cat monster did and holds it over his head.
57. He wears size 6 (US size) mens shoes.
58. His favourite colour is blue. But he thinks green is okay too.
59. Roo doesn’t know how to react to gifts. Half the time he thinks it’s something you want him to deliver. If you clarify, he says thanks and puts it somewhere safe. (Then he gets flustered)
60. He doesn’t really cry, except for ‘comedic situations’.
61. He used to have a habit of writing a bunch of notes on any surface he could find (especially walls). He got in a lot of trouble for it. Now he carries a small notebook around to take notes.
62. He’s not very materialistic. His moped is probably the only 'material' thing he cares about.
63. He keeps having to buy new socks because everytime he stays at an inn/at Arbiter’s place, he leaves one lying around.
64. He’s accidentally made a trash tornado in his bag, except with people’s orders.. It was very messy..
65. He’s currently learning how to bake. His favourite so far are fig rolls.
66. If there’s ever drama or a (not serious) fight going down in front of him, he’s the guy dealing out popcorn to the bystanders.
67. Whenever he’s bored, he watches some random shows. He tried to watch UnderNovela but he missed a lot of episodes, so he’s just confused.
68. Roo knows English, Common (AKA monster english), and Monster Sign Language (the monster’s version of sign)
69. In Roo’s timeline, Gaster was his brother. He can’t remember his parents.
70. He got turned into a bitty once. He refuses to talk about it, saying ‘the experience changed me…. Into a bitty, that is.’
71. One of the strangest AUs he’s visited is one where monsters were on the surface, except they were beast-like and HUGE. Not bara huge. 200ft tall huge. He finds it fascinating. Sometimes he'll go there, sit in a tree, and just watch them roam.
72. Every time he visits a random AU, he has a 50/50 chance of being dropped into the middle of something chaotic.
73. He customises his mopeds to say ‘sans’ with a bone sticker at the front. It’s so he can remember which one is his. (Lie. He just thinks it's cool)
74. He has a red friendship bracelet around his neck, given to him by Fresh!Reaper. It’s hidden by his coat most of the time. (Fresh!Reaper - @\SoftyMuii on Twitter)
75. He's sort of friends with this one Horror. They like to grab lunch together sometimes.
76. He likes to listen to other people’s puns more than making his own. Either way they make him chuckle every time, even in serious situations. (Though he tries not to laugh out of loud).
77. His favourite kind of jacket are windbreakers, which is what he wears most of the time.
78. He doesn’t care much for fashion, he just wears whatever’s comfortable (which is a shirt and shorts).
79. His favourite thing about the surface are the stars. Second is the sea. He loves the colour of the water and how calm it is.
80. When he texts, his replies are lazy and full of typos.
81. He has no idea that the lady behind the door was Toriel, queen of the monsters. In his timeline, Frisk killed her.
82. Despite napping all the time, he has trouble actually trying to sleep. He can manage 2 hours before waking up.
83. He’s a pretty light sleeper. He doesn’t fully fall asleep, still keeping some sort of awareness of his surroundings. If someone gets too close to him/makes too much noise, he’ll open his eyes.
84. Roo will generally try to follow the rules, but if they clash with his ideals, he’ll either break them, or try his best to bend the rules to his favour.
85. He’s good at keeping secrets. But that’s only because he forgets most of them after a while.
86. His bone colour is affected by how much sun he receives. They’re off-white since he’s covered up most of the time.
87. Sometimes he’ll sunbathe a little to brighten his bones. He claims it makes him feel more energetic.
88. He thinks MTT food is the worst of the worst. He won’t even pretend to eat it if someone hands him any. It’s going straight in the trash.
89. He likes white noise. Pure silence makes him agitated.
91. He's kind of apathetic. His emotions feel muted. But his reactions are still over the top.
90. Roo likes eye contact and being able to see people’s faces & facial expressions when talking to them. Having your back turned to him during a conversation bothers him.
90b. Despite this, he gets unnerved by intense staring (it reminds him of Alphys)
92. His stamina is okay, but he still gets tired out often, which is why he takes so many naps.
93. Roo doesn’t really get angry. At most he’ll get irritated or annoyed, but he doesn’t know what true anger feels like.
94. He hates troublesome customers. A part of him hopes they get food poisoning and never order again… but he won’t say that out loud.
95. He enjoys delivering to ‘peaceful’ AUs, usually ones that have already reached the surface. The customers there are usually very nice.
96. He’s a tidy person, but that’s only because he doesn’t own a lot of things to create a mess in the first place.
97. Don’t bully workers! If you’re mean to the workers at the stores, Roo will get annoyed and lecture you.
98. He feels a sense of kinship with other workers, especially multiversal workers like him. (Like Post!Sans)
99. Sometimes he works at Grillby’s 2 if they need extra help. He’s terrible at making drinks/entertaining the customers, so he just makes food in the back.
100. If it’s very hot or very cold, he can feel it. Otherwise he can’t really feel changes in temperature.
