Welcome to The Comfort Zone! Here's all you need to know!
This is @void-the-bear 's OC Darkworld. It exists as a place to escape from the stresses of reality, even just for a little bit.
The darkeners of this world are non-violent. Mostly.
Common Darkeners: Kneado, Snoob (Thanks @2fresh2pure for the name help for those two!), and Gastroputta. A stress ball, a pop tube and wooden snake toy mix, and a tin of putty respectively.
(Post if you want a RP to happen)
Main Boss: (When in costume) Mr Puffy/(when not in costume) Flicker (he/him)
Miniboss: Mike Rowave (he/him)
Major NPC: Buck the barkeeper (he/him) (His gun is a cork gun)
Dinosaur the computer (he/him). He is quite old and slow, but is the Comfort Zone's main source of internet access.
And here's the floorplan to the darkworld!
Magic Anons are currently closed, and all weird/harassment-towards-character asks will be deleted. It might be bad for engagement, but it's good for my mental health. Only exception for being mean to my characters is if we discuss beforehand and I approve.
Please do not send asks to "Everyone", as that includes common darkners, which there is a significant amount of, and I won't know if "everyone" includes Ralsei, Susie, Kris, and Trevor or not. 9+ characters to write answers for is stressful.
Since this Dark World is completely OC, some things may not fully line up with Deltarune.
Ask box is open, shall we get started?
I will add you can send asks to Kris, Susie, and Ralsei, but since this blog is intended to take place early Chapter 5 and that hasn't been released yet, I will be more cautious when answering as them.
More characters under the cut so it doesn't go long
Boxcars (he/him) and Yahtzee (she/her) are sibling Pippins, coming from a box of Settlers Of Catan. While they like gambling like as much as other Pippins, they also enjoy laying back, doodling, taking care of the sheep from the Catan set. They are twins, and have "the twin-telepathy".
Seven (he/him) is a Dark Ponman (the ponmens that do the overworld attacks in Card Kindgom), but is not actually a pawn. Instead, is the Robber from the box of Settlers Of Catan that Boxcars and Yahtzee are from. He doesn't speak except through gray attacks or typing on a keyboard. Being the Robber, he often steals half (rounded down) of people's things if he deems they have too much of it. Much to his dismay, the Pip-Twins often force him to either give it back to who he stole it from, or share with them. Typically it's the former, unless money is involved.
I will be real I just wanted to make a Virovirokun because I love how goofy they are and while doomscrolling I learned about the ILOVEYOU Virus. I decided to make a Virovirokun and name it after said virus. ILOVEYOU (she/her) is on Dinosaur in the light world, never opened, but also never deleted. She has grown to accept her fate as being forgotten, and enjoys life in The Comfort Zone. She often makes suggestions on things, but most are still weary on trusting her due to the fact that she is a virus. She genuinely wants to help others nowadays, but her consistently telling others to open her love letter is seen as suspicious. In reality, it is more of a vocal stim for her, as that is what she was programmed to say.

Secret boss: Medoobta. Mix of the 3 common darkeners. Realm Of The Discarded is the Rage Room mentioned. She is the boss there. The only darkener of this world that will battle you. The rage room is covered in scratches and red dust. You cannot enter the rage room until you give Buck the correct password. Good luck.

Trevor (he/him) will only be mentioned, but I will write his info here, anyways. He is a Hedgehog monster who owns everyone in The Comfort Zone, and is a struggling artist and collector. During a stress-induced rage, he slammed the ground a few times, one of which ended up being with a pen, while thinking how he wished he just had a place where time was slower and he should get the comfort and relaxation he needs. Accidentally creating the dark fountain, he fled his home as the darkness filled it, unsure if it was safe or not. Edit: I found a way to include him! He's the new art teacher at the Hometown school! And the collection was his Grandfather's. You can send him asks if you want, just nothing about the dark worlds unless you M!A him into it.
A pair of Pippins walk up, carrying what appears to be a giant blueberry cake. "Happy Birthday, to our favorite goof!" they say, setting down the cake
Upon cutting it open, it's actually a giant blueberry muffin baked and topped like a cake. A note is under the plate (that I failed to draw-) that reads "and happy April Fools, too"
(Hope you don't mind this! If you don't want me to do this, just answer the ask privately!)

A strange darkener that looks like a deer centaur shot glass has showed up, carrying bottles in cases on his back and sides. He's heard of there being stress people all around being mean. Glancing around, he's looking for the stressed pippins.
The strange darkener kneels down. "Are you Pips? The Pippins from The Comfort Zone asked me to look for a 'Pips', mentioning that they've been dealing with askers bullying them, so I brought drinks and a few blankets."
The strange darkener smiles and nods. "Yes, I do" he says, pulling out a few different bottles of lemonade, normal, pink, strawberry, blueberry, watermelon... "My name is Buck, by the way. I am the barkeeper in The Comfort Zone. Normally we just have one of our shadowguys deliver stuff, but I decided I want to come in case you wanted somebody to lend an ear." he says, calmly.
"It's a different dark world," Buck explains, "where we offer anyone anything that will bring comfort. Time there is slower, in a sense. An hour there is actually just a minute anywhere else, and there's been 0 cases of petrification by any visitors, nor by any of us going to anywhere else. I've learned to not look that gift horse in the mouth." he continues, laying down so he doesn't have to keep leaning down.
"Putting others before yourself?" Buck chuckles lightly "I respect that. I mentioned briefly that The Comfort Zone has some Pippins there, I think they're biased" he says, jokingly with a wink (even though you can't see his eyes, you can tell he winked). "And no problem for the lemonade."
"As the barkeep, I quite enjoy making the food and drinks for everyone. Though Mike, our Mike, makes the popcorn and helped me learn a few things about condensing food. I'm also always open to be the ear to anyone who needs to vent. I may not be the most helpful when it comes to problems like that, but if people need to get stuff off their chest, I don't judge anythin" Buck nods, getting a drink out for himself
"Oh, that's good. I can still give you these drinks, though. You can share 'em with your friends." Buck nods, standing back up. "Feel free to message me in some way if you need to get anything off your chest, ok?"
"Was nice meeting you, Pips." Buck smiles and sets down a few cases of the lemonade and some more alcoholic drinks as well. "I should probably head back home, don't want the bar left unattended too long" he chuckles

I really need to get this blog out there because I wanna RP with it more but IDK who is even available to start RPs with and I don't want to force my characters onto other people's blogs
So, to all comfort zone darkners, what's it like in castle town? How have the darkners there welcomed you?
Flicker is oddly out of the Mr Puffy costume, he seems relaxed, sitting on a beanbag chair. "Everyone here is so nice, and we get a lot more visitors! I don't have to worry about breaking!"
Mike chuckles "I finally understand why people seemed so weird about learning my name!" his mouth flashes yellow. "Guess I'm famous now?" he says, teasingly. "Anyways, everyone enjoys the movie nights, we've given most of the shop stock to Seam, but we agreed I can still sell popcorn because they burnt the popcorn when attempting to cook it themself" he chuckles a little more. "The Shadowguys also enjoy having more company of their own kind, we've dedicated a few of the theatre rooms for them to enjoy for themselves"
Buck still remains in the downstairs bar. "More customers trying to escape from insanity is always nice. Hearing stories."
Dinosaur is right outside the entrance of The New Comfort Zone, asleep. ILOVEYOU waves. "Dinosaur enjoys having enough room to stretch out, I enjoy being with more of my kind!"
Boxcars and Yahtzee are tending to sheep, presumably from the Catan set that they're from. "More room for the sheep." they both say before laughing.
Seven looks around. He's in the forest hexagons of the Catan Set, making a campfire with some marshmallows.
Medoobta is still in a dark corner. What was once the paths to the dark fountain has made the rage room expand, but it is also more confined at the same time, having it carved into a wall. "...I didn't want to be here... ...destruction makes other darkeners uneasy.... ....understandably.... ...why didn't they just let me fade...." she grumbles before scratching the walls of the carved out room with her claws, leaving giant scratch marks
