*You approach a set of six glass cannisters. Each one holds a glowing, floating heart, each one a different color. They appear eager to see a new face, if a bit apprehensive. Will you speak to them?

FAQ/Rules
"What is this? Who are you?"
Call me Phoenix or Blaze! This is an ask blog I decided to make with my Undertale ocs!
"What kind of things can we ask?"
Feel free ask the characters whatever, from simple things like favorite food to deeper things like family or thoughts on their current situation! In my mind, this takes place in a sort of stasis in-between the sixth soul and Frisk/the game you play, but feel free to ask questions about both as well! You can ask me questions too!
"What kind of things can we NOT ask?"
Considering these are children, what you will NOT be doing is writing anything remotely sexual or anything above PG-13, really. Seriously. The youngest is 6 years old. Use some common sense.
"Will the asks have art?"
I'll try to do what I can but I can't guarantee they all will! Maybe I'll reserve drawings for specific asks
Trigger Warnings
Considering all of these children are deceased as per the lore of Undertale, as well as there being underlying trauma in each one's backstories/lives, I feel like proper trigger warnings are necessary. Here's some you can expect that I can think of off the top of my head (not an exhaustive list):
Child death
Death in general
Self-harm/Suicide
Injuries
Blood
Transphobia
Abuse
Panic attacks
Dissociation/derealization/depersonalization
Tags
Each character ask will have the tag #thefallensix (no spaces)
Depending on the ask, each post will have the appropriate soul and child's name
Posts containing trigger warnings will contain the appropriate tags
Who’s your favorite/least favorite monster you’ve met in the Underground?
"I really like Miss Toriel! Or Whimsum! Or or...hmmm Flowey doesn't count, right? Because he's a flower. Flowers aren't monsters. I don't know if I have a least favorite...oh, I know! Migosp. He's a bully bug."
"My favorite's Froggit! I like frogs. Least favorite? Vegetoid. Vegetables are gross, blehhh."
"Favorite would be either Naptablook or Shyren. Least favorite would be...Jerry."
"I think Woshua maybe? Or Toriel? I don't know...there's so many questions I wish I could've been able to ask about...well just monsters in general, I guess. Least favorite...Undyne."
"Oh! Good question! Miss Toriel is definitely my favorite! She was so nice. Vulkin is also so warm and cozy. Um...my least favorite? I don't really know. Maybe As-...no no, I can't say that. Um...Jerry, I guess? That...sounds like a safe answer."
"Oh, easy! Favorite's Undyne and least is Ice Cap. 💛"
*The children stare for a moment in various states of confusion before Amani speaks up.
"Do you mean...our situation? It...can't really be helped now, but...thank you. It helps that we have each other to talk to and just be in each other's company. Besides, we've...more or less accepted it. Most of us, anyway."
Reasons you fell down Mt Ebott?Or was it an accident?
"I was picking flowers for Mommy and tripped and fell."
"I wanted to see how far I could get up the mountain! Guess I leaned in too much to look into the cave and I fell in."
"Morbid curiosity."
"...Research."
"I was looking for someone."
"I had to see if the rumors were true. So many missing people on this one mountain? It was mighty suspicious. The rumors have never sat right with me anyhow.🩷"
Ooh, chocolate chip cookies are good. My favorites are chocolate crinkles. They're fudgy and chocolatey and covered in powered sugar. Come on, let's go get some.
I'm glad. Coffee is why I picked to be the coffee anon, after all!
What are some of your favorite things to do?
--☕
(Combining these two bc I got distracted by life and didn't get to the first one yet, sorry coffee anon!)
"Coffee...seems good. It helps keep people awake because of the caffeine. I'd probably have had it if I'd been allowed to."
"Writing's probably the biggest thing, or researching stuff. I tried doodling some sketches of monsters in the Underground...but they aren't very good."
Okay, that's sweet as all get out. Lizzie, you're adorable. How about we go get cookies? What's your favorite kind?
--🍦
"Thank you! Yes please! You're very nice. Hm...that's a tricky one. There's all sorts of them, like there's gotta be like a hundred of them! But if I had to pick it'd beeeeee chocolate chip!"
No way, Amani, you have a brother? What's he like? Do you have any cool stories of him to share?
--🍭
"Yeah..Yeah I do...Did? Do? The grammar is weird to think about, sorry...Anyway, I loved him more than anything. Still do. I don't think I have any interesting stories to share...I do remember he used to climb on top of the jungle gym at our school all the time.
There were these woods near our house we liked to wander around and he liked to climb the trees pretty much every chance he could. I was way too scared of heights but something like that never stopped him.
Vanilla gets a bad rap for being basic! I think it's delicious and people are just really judgemental. My favorite is coffee ice cream - it tastes like coffee but a little less bitter, a little more chocolately, and it doesn't keep you up at night. And I really should have expected that you hadn't had coffee before, actually.
If you don't have any allergies, how about you try this? *I slide over one wrapped candy.* It's coffee flavored.
--☕
"I...okay, sure."
[He takes the candy, unwraps it and pops it in his mouth.]
"It's...good. I like it. It's probably because it's candy but it's sweeter than I imagined. Dad always had his....what's the word? Black? When it doesn't have anything in it except, well, coffee. It smelled pretty bitter. But I like this."
(Same anon who braided her hair, maybe I should pick an emoji to sign off with. How does 🍦sound? I can be the ice cream anon.)
"The Bluey song! Once though I did the alphabet song all by my self for our kindergarten class! And without any help! Mommy even recorded it and it was the best!"
I feel really bad making the mood so dark, so I'll ask a more lighthearted question now - what's your favorite ice cream flavor, Robyn? And do you like coffee (the beverage, not me)?
--☕
"Oh, vanilla. I know it's not...super interesting, there's all sorts of flavors out there. But there's nothing wrong with a classic, right?"
"I've never had coffee before. Mom and Dad said I was too young for it."
*i hand over a small cookie of whatever kind he prefers*
There you go, Robyn. I'm glad you have a healthy way to deal with stuff now - I'd hate for you to have to suffer. If I'm being honest, part of the reason I asked was because I, uh, noticed your arms and wanted to make sure you were fine and dealing with your emotions healthily.
--☕(I forgot to sign off last time, sorry, but I sent in that last ask)
[He takes the cookie with a small, nervous smile]
"Thank you...I'm...I'm doing better now, I think."
Question for Robyn again: how do you deal with anxiety? Do you have anything that works for you? And finally - would you like a cookie?
TW (Brief/Implied mention of SH Thoughts/Actions, Mention of anxiety attacks)
"Well before...b-back when I was alive, I mean...I wrote a lot in my notebook. Taking notes and researching and stuff helped distract me from...a lot of stuff. Really...really scary thoughts. I-it didn't always help, though..."
"It's...different, now, though. I still write in my notebook. Having...having friends now helps too. I have other people to talk to...a-and they actually like me...I-I think they do...I hope so. A-anyway, Justine's started just talking my ear off when I get too panicky. I-I don't think even half of it gets processed, she'll go on and on about anything that comes to her mind. I...I like that. Being able to listen to someone else, it...it's grounding. Gives me something to hold onto."
