FIRST MEETING STARTERS- Accepting!

Brand new town, same old story; adults he doesn't know deciding they know what's best for him. Something he just can't escape. Human town or monster town, some things never change.

That unwanted 'help' was what led them here, stood in front of the somewhat small-looking school, pale orange eyes squinting at the symbol decorating it's doors that he could only guess the meaning on. Religious, maybe? Wasn't told it was a Sunday School...

The teen's scrutinizing thoughts were put on pause by a voice suddenly calling at their back, bandanna-covered head perking up before twisting to look over his shoulder at it's source.

... giving the human girl a somewhat incredulous look as she approached, brows furrowing before turning forwards.

"Guess you aren't."

The response was flat and rang with disinterest, as the boy went back to staring ahead, hand tightening just a bit around the shoulder-strap of the weathered old satchel he was carrying.

They would have been an unfamiliar face to the other, much less anyone who'd actually gotten to class on time. Unkempt red hair barely contained by the fabric over it, tired eyes, and well-worn clothes that showed their age. Another standoffish new kid.

One who seemed hesitant to go inside.

FIRST MEETING STARTERS- Accepting!

To some, possibly even for the other, finding another living human down in a place like this would have been a momentous occasion; a source of rare kinship in the face of the adversities surrounding them. To anyone rational, it by all rights should have been.

But evidently not to this fiery-haired child, as he had addressed the other with only slightly more interest than he would any of the monsters he'd met. Greeted casually, as if they weren't in an unfamiliar magical world, like they were still on the surface. Even at the other human's astonishment, Riley just grinned, carefree.

"Oh, didja come from Ebottsville? That's where I came from!" Riley proclaimed, proudly. "Bet they're all still talkin' about me back there! You've probably already heard ALL about me!"

That, or seen Riley's face & name on a missing person's poster.

First Meetings Sentences, Vol. 3

(Sentences for muses meeting for the first time. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"I'm beginning to find you quite interesting."

"I'm not going to have this conversation, least of all with someone I don't even know."

"How do you know where I live?"

"Who are you and why are you being so aggressive with me?"

"Do you always make this good of a first impression?"

"You don't say much, do you?"

"Oh good, I'm not the only one who's late!"

"I don't trust you. I can't trust you. I don't know who you are or where you come from."

"You have an interesting accent. Where are you from exactly?"

"Perhaps you'd like to know my name?"

"I got here by accident. How did you get here?"

"You're pretty cute, you know that?"

"Is small talk a way you deal with your anxiety?"

"It occurs to me that I don't know the first thing about you."

"I've been warned to watch out for women like you."

"Seeing as you let yourself in, forgive me if it's forwards to ask, but who the hell are you?"

"Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"You don't know me. You only know of me."

"How do you know that name? I haven't used that name in years!"

"Oh, hello! I know you, don't I?"

"You know, it is a little bit strange that we hardly know each other, right?"

"Hey, I immediately don't like you."

"I don't think we've ever been alone in a room together, have we?"

"Odd as it may seem, I don't feel you to be a stranger."

"I think your name is beautiful."

"You know that feeling you have that we've met before? It's the same with me."

"I was hoping we could talk a little business. Would you like some tea?"

"I'm not sure we've ever properly met."

"I didn't want us to meet like this."

"I hear you've been looking for me. I'm flattered."

"Hello! I love your work!"

"I have the strangest sense we've met before. Do you think that's possible? In another lifetime?"

"What are you doing sitting here all by yourself?"

"I've heard so much about you that I feel I almost know you."

"If you know so much about me, then perhaps you would like to say who you are?"

UNDERTALE STARTERS- Accepting!

Feet settled into the soft soil of the golden flower patch they had entered, a surreal stillness having filled the serene chamber that the king called his throne room, everything silent except for the distant singing of birds from a place so close and yet so very far away.

The king had left to the next room, where the awful thing trapping them underground sat waiting. Waiting for them.

That moment standing there, their only company being each other and a gentle breeze, was the calmest the child next to her had ever been. No idle bouncing, no sprinting around the room, no excited chattering... for once, he actually seemed quiet. Peaceful.

Not saying a word until the royal guard broke the silence, when he'd finally back up at her, orange eyes gleaming as they always had.

"Don't need t' worry, I won't let y'all down!" He reassured, voice beaming with all the same enthusiasm he'd carried ever since she'd first encountered him, smiling up at her, in spite of everything.

You'd never think it the face of someone awaiting execution.

"Thanks for walkin' me all the way here. Don't think I'd have ever gotten t' meet mister Asgore without your help!" The gratitude trailed off into a pause, smile falling briefly into a more uncertain expression... before, they turned, pressed to her side... giving her a warm hug. The last one they'd have the chance to give.

Eventually, their hold embrace breaks, and the step forwards.

"I think I can find the rest of the way on my own from here." They say, looking onward toward the last hall, the softest sound of what may have been the first shaky breath they had that entire adventure before they grinned over their shoulder, giving one last wave.

"Welp! Seeya later!"

And with that, her feet leave the soft soil of the flower patch, clicking off of the stone beyond it as they disappeared into the next hall. Finally ready for their last FIGHT.

[wlthbravery]

I don't believe Riley actually entered the Underground with the Tough Gloves & Manly Bandanna, or at least not in anywhere near the state found in Undertale. I think they entered with a "Tattered Bandanna" (*On closer examination, this is just an old cloth) & "Hand Wrappings" (*Dirty bandages, have seen a lot of reuse), which they gradually upgrade from over the course of their adventure through the Underground.

Specifically, I wanna think that the Tough Gloves & Manly Bandanna were gifts either passed down or made for him by his friends.

UNDERTALE STARTERS- Accepting!

Orange eyes flash open in a shock, darting about their sockets looking for where that last attack had gone... only for their search to be brought to a sudden stop by the now familiar voice that greeted them, gaze immediately locking towards it's source.

Staring ahead at their enemy wordlessly as the meaning of his words actually began to settle into them, blinking & looking down at their glove-covered hands in silence... fingers flexing, feeling returning.

Before, far too quickly, those same shaking hands would ball into steady fists & be raised forwards, the human's voice returning. Not with fear, but with a grin.

"Heh! Guessin' that didn't feel for like much of a win for ya, did it?" The child answers the flower with gall, already starting to bounce on their bare heels once more as if nothing had even happened.

As if they hadn't just died.

"That's fine, 'cause it sure didn't feel like one for ME, either!"

UNDERTALE starters

“…But nobody came.”

“I… I’ve changed my mind about all this. This isn’t a good idea anymore.”

“YOU! You’re standing in the way of everybody’s hopes and dreams!”

“I don’t want to break their hearts all over again. It’s better if they never see me.”    

“Despite everything, it’s still you.”

“Ah, the cactus. Truly the most tsundere of plants.”

“Go ahead. Prepare however you want. But when you step forward… I will KILL you.”

“It’s me, [name].”

“Wow! We haven’t even had our first date and I’m in the friendzone!”

“It pains me to say this, but… you should probably never come back here.”

“Maybe looking at this nice lamp will help you.”

“There is nothing left for us here. Let us erase this pointless world, and move on to the next.”

“They thought that he had killed the child.”

“Quit looking at me with that stupid expression. You’re pissing me off.”

“We’re all counting on you, kid. Good luck.”

“Nice day today, huh? Birds are singing, flowers are blooming… Perfect weather for a game of catch.”

“You can certainly find better than an old man/woman like me.” 

“I do not know if this is pathetic or endearing.”

“Oh. My god. I didn’t expect you to show up so soon! I haven’t showered, I’m barely dressed, it’s all messy, and…”

“You’re way better at dating than I am.”

“Get dunked on!”

“This is the power that the humans feared.”

“They must be here, playing a joke on me. I’ll just wait until one of them admits it…”

“…You really like hot animals, don’t you?”

“It was nice to meet you. …Goodbye.”

“On days like this, kids like you should be burning in Hell.”

“Remember. DON’T kill anyone. …I can’t believe this is a REAL thing I have to remind you.”

“…Why are you still here? Are you trying to keep me company?”

“You should be smiling, too. Aren’t you excited? Aren’t you happy?” 

“Don’t worry, my little monarch, my plan isn’t regicide. This is SO much more interesting.”

“What makes you think you’re in control?”

“Never come back here. You are not welcome.”

“Why does someone as great as me have to do so much to get recognition?!”

“You made your choice long ago.”

“Don’t you realize that being nice just makes you get hurt?”

“So you finally made it. The end of your journey is at hand.”

“I didn’t cry! I just… caught something in my eye!”

“You know what would be more valuable to everyone? IF YOU WERE DEAD!”

“Look. [Name] didn’t come to the meeting today. Say what you want about him/her/them. H/She’s/They’re weird, naive, self-absorbed. But [name] has NEVER missed a meeting. And no matter what time you call him/her/them on the phone… Night, day, afternoon, morning… He/she/they ALWAYS answers within the first two rings.”

“Anything you want to do is important enough. Even something as small as reading a book, or taking a walk… Please take your time.“

“[Name] hated humanity. Why they did, they never talked about it. But they felt very strongly about that.”

“WELL? Are you CHERISHING?! CHERISH HARDER!”

"If you… If you think I’m gonna give up hope, you’re wrong. ‘Cause I’ve got my friends behind me.”

“Perhaps we can reach a compromise. You still have something that I want.”

“Always wondered why people never use their strongest attack first.”

“No matter the struggles or hardships you faced… you strived to do the right thing. You refused to hurt anyone.”

“This is why I never make promises.”

“ …Why? Why are you being… so nice to me? I can’t understand. I can’t understand! I just can’t understand… “

“Honestly, fighting you IS pretty fun… So even if you ARE a sicko, I’ll take it!”

“Maybe you’d be better… at not killing anyone? Crazy idea, huh? Let me know how that one goes.” 

“Did I ever tell you about the time [name] flirted with me?”

“STOP PETTING THE ENEMY!”

“Now, I understand acting in self-defense. You were thrown into those situations against your will.”

“You’d better watch yourself, kid. Things are lookin’ real bad for you.”

“Are you ready? If you are not, I understand. I’m not ready either…”

“Oh my God! Will you two just smooch already?”

“Don’t you get it? There’s no such thing as happy endings. This is all that’s left…!”

“The internet! I’m quite popular there!”

“Do you think even the worst person can change…? That everyone can be a good person if they just try?”

“Don’t worry about it. Most of us have tried to kill [name] at one time or another.”

“Wowie! You did it! You didn’t do a violence!”

“Not everything can be resolved by being nice.”

“Don’t kill, and don’t be killed, alright? That’s the best you can strive for.” 

“Oh no! You’re meeting all of my standards!”

“Anime is real, RIGHT?!”

“Maybe you’re wondering if I ever get tired of winning… Wanna see my answer?”

“Sorry, I do not have much to say. It was nice to hear your voice, though.”

“This is all just a bad dream… and you’re NEVER waking up!”

“Down here, it’s kill or be killed!”

“I can’t come back. I just can’t, OK?”

“I so badly want to say, ‘would you like a cup of tea?’ But… You know how it is.”

“Would you smooch a ghost?”

“The truth is… [Name] wasn’t really the greatest person.” 

“Well, if I were you, I would have thrown in the towel by now. But you didn’t get this far by giving up, did you?” 

“You’re not really human, are you? No. You’re empty inside. Just like me.”

“Are you bored? I should have given a book to you. My apologies. Why not use your imagination to divert yourself?”

“I’ll hold victory in front of you, just within your reach… and then tear it away just before you grasp it.”

“Come on! Step forward and let’s end this!”

“Don’t you get it? This is all just a GAME.”

“Are those two robots…?”

“If you have some sort of special power… isn’t it your responsibility to do the right thing?”

“Stop plaguing my life with incidental music!”

“Self-defense? Please. You didn’t kill them because you had to. You killed them because it was easy for you. Because it was fun for you. Do you think it was fun when I found out…? Do you think it’s fun when people’s family members never come home? Is that fun? No. “

“I wish I had eight legs… so I could wear FOUR pairs of hot pants!”

“The more you kill, the easier it becomes to distance yourself. The more you distance yourself, the less you will hurt. The more easily you can bring yourself to hurt others.”

“RUN. INTO. THE BULLETS.”

“I can’t go to Hell. I’m all out of vacation days.”

“They just sort of showed up one day and…asserted themselves. The town’s gotten a lot more interesting since then.”

“Our king is really bad at names.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would’ve never gotten past him. But now, with your help, he’s DEAD.”

“Then why’d you kill my brother/sister?”

“I’ve done everything this world has to offer. I’ve read every book. I’ve burned every book. I’ve won every game. I’ve lost every game. I’ve appeased everyone. I’ve killed everyone.”

“What did you do to him? …What did you DO to him?!”

“…I don’t have the heart to tell her what you did. Do you know how she’d react?”

“You didn’t even need my help, which is great, ‘cause I love doing absolutely nothing.”

“I’m smiling and I hate it!”

“Do you wanna have a bad time? 'Cause if you take another step forward… you are REALLY not going to like what happens next.”

“If we’re really friends… you won’t come back.”

“Did you really think I was gonna be satisfied… killing you only ONE time?”

“I remember when I first woke up here, in the garden. I was so scared. I couldn’t feel my arms or my legs…”

“Even after all this time, you’re still the only one that understands me.”

“Why do I always get the freaks?”

“It’s possible that you may have a problem.”

“What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth…”

“I’m nineteen years old and I’ve already wasted my entire life.”

“If you’re so scared, why do you keep winking?”

“Don’t you have anything better to do?”

"Dunno what the big worry was about, this place is great! There's lots of food, people are nice, n' so many folks enjoy a good FIGHT!"

Words are punctuated by the child kicking a rock as they walked, incredibly lax for someone trapped under a mountain with an entire race of monsters that are apparently at war with them.

Not like that was much different from back 'home'.

"Even with the bad stuff, it ain't any worse than bein' back up there! Why would I wanna get on through the barrier for?"

[wlthbravery]

Riley is perpetually covered in bumps, scrapes, bruises, and bandages; he's a reckless, foolhardy, and headstrong child. Always doing something stupid or getting into fights. Not because he's an unintelligent or maliciously violent child, but just because they have a boundless desire to prove himself to the world.

The constant bullying & judgement that came with being raised in an orphanage, when put against his absurd stubbornness, made him into someone who has to show that he's not afraid of anything, and will take up any challenge thrown his way to do that.

His reasons for climbing Mt. Ebott are no deeper than that- someone told him he wasn't brave enough to go up there, and so, he did.

[wlthbravery]

"Hey, hey! You wanna see how many rocks I can fit in my mouth?" Too late, he's not waiting for an answer.
