The Cloudy Enby

Askblog for Underswap Poppet 'Ivy' Knacket

[theghostlyflowers]

OOC:  Blog Start

Echo Mun:  Due to several reasons of which I will not delve into at this moment in time, @themonochromelady and @thecloudyenby are both being shut down.  All of their current events are being ended.  

Instead, you can find all the Poppets (Poppy, Buttercup, Daisy, Belladonna, Ivy, Zinnia, and any future Poppets) on this blog.  

Though they will be opened for asks, the focus of this blog will not be an ask blog.  Instead, this will mostly be used for interaction with other characters and for posting content related to the flowers.  For the time being, I have no interest in doing solo events or M!As.  

So if you want to send asks, all right.  If not, that’s cool too.  If anything, expect mostly reblogged art and interactions with fat skeletons and skelegators.

"Maybe you should call Frankie and/or Tes? One of them might remember something."

“I tried Frankie already.  Just my luck the guy is in class right now, but I can’t get too mad when the guy’s goal is to fix Waterfall.  

“I’ll try Tes next.  She’s never been too big on phone calls, but if she wants to talk, she’ usually answer, hangup, then text me.  Unless she’s hungover, in which case, I guess I’ll be goin’ to Tasty’s.”

[thecloudyenby-blog]

How can you even use a toy like that?

“First of all, I was drunk as hell when I got whatever the fuck that thing, so I wasn’t thinkin’ too straight.  

“Second of all, humans and monsters have very different anatomy.  However, monsters can bit a bit more, eh....  Fluid.  ‘least some of them can.  I mean- Most monster’s bodies can shift to help accommodate a baby if they’re pregnant.  When you’re made of dust and magic, you get a lil bit of wiggle room.  But I guess with corporeal ghosts there’s a fear their bodies won’t change because, well....  Their bodies weren’t or aren’t made of magic.  Our incorporeal bodies simply become one with an ordinary object.  So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s other ghosts out there with bodies they got customed in case they want a family.

“And thirdly, you got folks who are just kinky as hell.  Most monsters, when they have sex, it doesn’t involve, eh....  Bits.  Souls?  To varyin’ extents, sure.  Lots of groping, kissing, fondling, whatever.  Toys aren’t rare, but there’s not really anything penetrative ‘cause most monsters are bare in that category.  Not all of ‘em, and sometimes they'll  get creative or get alterations to better suit that kind of fun.

“Case and point, there’s apparently a group of folks who are very fond of humans.  And I mean very.  Like....  Wow, I will never see the word ‘persona’ the same ever again.  But it ain’t my place to judge, so long as they aren’t hurting anyone, including theirselves.”

[thecloudyenby-blog]

“Y’know, for as much as I tend to use this blog at times, I’m preeetty disappointed I didn’t seem to hop on it once last night.”

[Ivy groans quietly.]

“I…  am never drinking again.  Last thing I ‘member is going to some place in New Home with Frankie and Tes.  Bytes, I think it’s called…?  Woke up here, face down on the sofa.  I’ve slept on this thing enough times to know where I am before I even open my eyes.

“Doesn’t explain why I found leaves in my dress, though….   Or my face bein’ busted up, or, uh….

“Other things….”

[thecloudyenby-blog]

“Other things being, uh....  Well, let me show you all the clues I got.”

[Ivy upends her bag onto the couch.]

[Ivy’s clue appear to be flower torn out of the ground (roots and topsoil still attached), a receipt for an establishment called “Tasty’s”, and some sort of sex toy.  How lewd.]

“I’m gonna look up the place right now, but first....”

[Ivy put the toy back in her bag.]

“I’m not leavin’ this thing out....”

IC: What Year Is It?!?

*He felt Ivy’s shifting, and his tail dropped down onto the pub seat with a soft clatter.*

wha…what the hell is going on? everyone is cheering, and diadoe isn’t at the bar…

and where is ma anyways? she said she was going to snowdin to get speciality groceries and i thought papa or pops would be here already? um…i’m so confused…

[thecloudyenby-blog]

“Hey there, sleepy bones~  Your daidoe went up stairs, and your papa went after him.  Your pops wanted t’go grab somethin’ that I thiiink you might be interested in seeing.  Good thing you woke you up when you did!

“But, eh....  Your ma?  She hasn’t been back yet, I don’t think.”

[Ivy gently pats Papyrus’ arm.]

“It’s all good, Sunrise.  Just sit back and enjoy this with the resta us.  I think it’ll lift your spirits.   Hehehe~”

@thecloudyenby (Continued from this post)

It ain’t no problem, Ivy. Far as I’m concerned, pity is just false compassion - doin’ somethin’ for somebody to make yourself feel better. Or like, make other monsters think you’re a good monster.

But that’s why I was glad to see you were here, y’know? If I was gonna talk to anybody about how to ‘play the game’, it’d be you, ‘cause you’re never gonna be like ‘awwww the poor widdle baby can’t do jack fuckin’ shit’…

You’re no nonsense, an’ I appreciate the hell outta that. So how do I possess a thing like I saw Fruit Cup doin’?

[thecloudyenby-blog]

“How do you possess something?  Uh…  Well fuck.  I know how to do it, but I dunno how much sense it’ll make to ya.  

“When you possess someone or something, you’re pretty much just wearin’ it.  S’like going into a temporary corp state.

“Best way to describe it is you float into something and attach to it with your magic.  Become one with it.  And don’t worry any.  It’s much different than binding to it.  Bindin’ take a fuckin’ massive emotional trigger while in the thing, so you’ll be good.”

[askdadsterswap]

Well I ain’t as good with my magic as, say, Cupcake is, but anythin’ that’s worth doin’ is worth tryin’! * Spotting somebody’s neglected drink, Bitter decides to try his luck…

Holy shit, I did it! Pint of Bitter, anybody? * Using his ‘blue’ magic to move himself, he slowly drifts into view of the camera

Stick me on a headless dummy and I could be Seamus, heheheh. Top o’ the mornin’ to ye!

[thecloudyenby-blog]

[Ivy bursts into a fit of giggles as she applauds Bitter.]

“Oh man!  I heard of a dash of bitters, but a whole pint?  Hehehe~  Not bad at all for your first possession!  Just be sure to get outta that thing if you start falling though.  You don’t wanna feel your whole body shattered into smithereens.  That’d kiiinda suck.”

[askdadsterswap]

Hah, there’s actually a style of beer called ‘Bitter’, if you can believe that! It’s not that well known around here, but Seamus has a keg of ‘Busy Boddy’s’ that some of the regulars love. * There’s laughter from a nearby table as one monster looks around for their drink, and the other monsters point at Bitter

But yeah, I should let that monster have their drink back, right? I promise I haven’t laid a finger on it, I mean I technically don’t have any~

* Putting the glass back on the table, Bitter de-possesses it, and there’s a modest round of applause.

Thank you, thank you, be sure to leave a good tip, heh.

[thecloudyenby-blog]

[Ivy joins in the applause.]

“God damn!  You’re a natural, Bitter!  

“You sure you ain’t been a full ghost this whole time?  Maybe I’ve not been the only doly ghost around here.  Spoooooky~”

[Ivy laughs again.]

“But seriously, that’s fuckin’ awesome.  You should try somethin’ else.  Maybe Mrs. Pinkerton.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Pap gots her upstairs.  Hehe, I bet that’d really surprise him.”

“I’m…  Not sure?  I haven’t talked to my family in years, an’ they were real old school.  Aside from them, I never really met other ghosts.  I kinda lean more towards other undead. 

“What you’ll end doin’ is literally ripping off pieces of your incorporeal form and rearranging those bits to make something else that is still attached to you.  ‘cause you’re an incorp who ain’t being touched by magic, you won’t get hurt.  In fact, you won’t feel a damn thing.  

“My form has a sort of, eh….  Lacy or lump edge.  I got what some might call ‘skirt nubs’.  When I made my bow, those would start to break off and rearrange themselves on my head.  In the end, I still had my nubs plus I got a bow.  If you’re havin’ problems just moving, you might not wanna try it.”

[askdadsterswap]

Yeeeeeeah, that sounds… not pleasant. Even if it don’t hurt, that don’t sound like somethin’ I wanna do… ‘specially since I got like, spikes, an’ not nubs…

But thanks for the tip - it’s better I know this shit before I do somethin’ that might mess shit up. y’know? I don’t wanna change back and have like a severed foot or some shit. Heheh, that’d be real nasty.

[thecloudyenby-blog]

[Ivy snortles.  She seems to be perfectly okay with Bitter’s sense of humor.]

“You’re pretty much half doll, right?  Maybe Sleepy over here could make you a new one.  Mine ain’t fallen off yet!  Got a weak ankle, but that’s better than only havin’ one.  I guess I’d be all right.”

[askdadsterswap]

Half-doll? Well, you’d be close if you were talkin’ about the doc! I never asked him what his mom was, seemed like a sensitive topic, but you can definitely see that in him an’ all that ‘stuffing’. Heh.

But my mom was an armor stand. All wood an’ leather, with a soft cotton stuffing, not that you’d believe it under all the metal an’ spikes she wore. An’ when I was born, I got the ‘worst’ from her and my dad - a fragile head, an’ a soft body. So it might not be exactly the same, but I know how it is to have a weak point…

[thecloudyenby-blog]

“Heh….  Sometimes I feel like this whole body is a weak point.  I dunno how y’all do it.  The eating, the drinking, sleep, clothing, cleaning, and just…  It’s a lot of upkeep for somethin’ you never really asked for.  

“Ghosts can filter through the background magic or eat a few different kinds of magic based foods.  We can’t touch anything, so we don’t get dirty.  We don’t really get sick unless we’re in the deep end of Waterfall.  Not to mention we’re pretty much always naked, but we’re not humanoid and can’t really wear clothes, so it’s no big deal.

“And that’s just off the top of my head!  But bein’ incorporeal…  You’re ageless, pretty much immortal.  You have the whole Underground just waitin’ for you.  Not much can stop you, and there’s nothin’ holding you back.  You’re….  Free.  Untethered.  You can fly, you can take hold of nearly anything, be nearly anything.  And when you’re done bein’ one thing, you can just be….  

“…You.  

“Being incorporeal is an experience like no other.  And whatever you’ve done so far?  That’s just scratching the surface.”

[askdadsterswap]

…So I bet seein’ me like this really hit a nerve, huh. But before ya say anythin’, I don’t want ya feel like ya need to apologize for that, capiche?

I mean, fuck, of course I don’t get exactly what you’ve been through to wind up like you have… but what I do know is how it is when you’re… y’know?? When ya can’t go back to somethin’, an’ ya don’t exactly realize how final that really is ‘til it’s too late… !?

[sighs] Look, I ain’t sure how much I understood, when Pap told me about your… condition. An’ I know it seems like ¾ of the family are some kinda prodigy, but that sure as hell ain’t me. I honestly ain’t that smart, an’ I’m probably not helpin’ that by runnin’ my mouth right now.

But I guess what I’m tryin’ to say is havin’ to re-think your entire life from scratch is one’a the hardest things any monster can do. When I came here I left everythin’ behind, even my name - an’ even though it was for my own good in the end, it still hurt like hell. But what I’ve learned is it’s just a natural reaction, to mourn somethin’ you’ve lost… even if losin’ it meant you could still survive.

So, eh, if talkin’ about incorp stuff makes ya feel bad then don’t worry about it. An’ don’t worry about gettin’ pity from the likes’a me, ‘cause I figure you probably hate that shit as much as I do. I feel like we’re almost like ‘kindred spirits’ on some level, y’know? Maybe even literally. Heh.

[thecloudyenby-blog]

“IIIt’s.....  Not that you hit a nerve really.  S’more like....  It’s kinda like watching someone play your favorite game.  You know it like the back of your hand, inside and out, could it with your eyes closed.  But now your buddy is playing it, and they’re not playing it wrong, but their so new to it, and they’re not doing it the best way.  Why ain’t doing this?  Why not that?  It would be so much easier if they did it like this.  Why the hell are they doing that?”

[Ivy heaves a sigh with a shake of her head.]

“It’s nothing against you.  I gotta keep tellin’ myself you guys are doing better than, eh...  Some folk.  Not to mention, you haven’t had years of experience I had.”

[Ivy pauses, thinking carefully for a moment.]

“Pity...  It doesn’t get you anywhere, but I gotta admit.  It’s nice to finally hear from someone that they get what it’s like.  Yeah, not exactly, but....  They get it.

“I try not t’talk with Papyrus about this seeing as he made the mannequin.  I accidentally send him packing on an unplanned guilt trip, then we both feel like trash.  My other friends are all going to college and are living it up here in New Home.  Social lives, exciting jobs. All of them sure as hell not ghosts.”

[Ivy laughs.]

“What’s funny was that I was supposed t’be a prodigy of some kind.  Now I’m complainin’ about having to eat three square meals and still don’t know why it matters what color your ink is when signing something, but apparently it fuckin’ does.

“So I guess what I’m trying to say is....  Thank you.  For listening and understanding.  Guess we really are kindred spirits.”

"Hm, you might wanna ask first before going to see Ivy. I think she wanted a little cuddle time with Papyrus, and I'm not sure if she's ready to say hello to anyone else yet."

Well, she knows what’s goin’ on from what she’s seen on the blog, but I’m just kinda hangin’ around the general area ‘til-

Oh, heh, looks like Pap fell asleep. Hey Ivy!@thecloudyenby

[thecloudyenby-blog]

[Ivy chuckles.] “Yeah, he dropped off pretty quick.  I guess a block a wood is more comfy that I figured.  

“You look like you’re doin’ okay.  Right side up, manifested- The brows are pretty impressive too.  Most of the time we got any sort of additions, it’s ‘cause we had to morph our bodies to make ‘em or otherwise conjured.”

[askdadsterswap]

* He glances towards Papyrus, who seems to be leaning over slightly.

Heh, good to know things could be worse. Wasn’t Pap, like, sideways or some shit when he got hit with this Grey Magic? Figures he wouldn’t be able to stay upright even as a Ghost, heh.

As for the ‘brows, though, beats the hell outta me why I still got those. I guess I’m just so used to havin’ ‘em, they just manifested without me even thinkin’ about it… ?

Still - if I already got the basics down, I may as well do some cool Ghost shit, right? What was that ya said about morphin’ an’ conjurin’?

[thecloudyenby-blog]

“Fuck yeah!  Morphin’ is when you literally change your incorporeal form, usually to make an accessory of some kind.  I usually wear a bow when I d- used t’do it. 

“Conjuring is more along the lines of white magic.  It’s not just a ghost thing o’course, but it’s so damn useful.  I used to use my vines to help move certain things seein’ as my blue magic is more, eh....  Racially based, if you understand.”

[thecloudyenby-blog]

i think we've seen you wear it before, but what's that brown thing?

“Oh this?  It’s just a winter shawl.  As I’ve said I know more than once, I hate wearing clothes.  Sure they’re protective an’ keep me ‘decent’, but the easier it is to take ‘em on and off, and the less there is, the better.  Plus with the shawl, I have a lot more freedom of movement.  Makes it easier when I’m having to lug things through the snow when I go to and from the library. 

“Plus plus, due to its simplicity, it’s a lot easier to find shawls in the stores insteada having to commission them.”

[thecloudyenby-blog]

Wow. That's pretty deep, V. The warning is really hitting you hard huh?

[Ivy seems to be cuddled up against Papyrus in the booth.  She looks up at him before responding, cheek resting against his shoulder.]

“There’s a lotta things going on.  S’more than just....  That.  The mannequin situation, the inn situation, the Sunrise situation....  Talkin’ with Kodai about all of that made me realize that even though we’re going to live a helluva long time, nothing is a guarantee.  I don’t wanna wake up tomorrow and realize I missed the chance to do something that made me real happy.  I’m not strong or powerful or any kinda force to be reckoned with.  I’m stubborn as hell though, and I’ll be damned if I let anyone or anything get in my way.  And right now, that’s sittin’ with the most awesome guy I know.”
