Gaster muttered to himself, giggling erratically. Oh, if only he could experiment on a Determination soul - but the royal family would never have let him near their dear Chara…
Around the room, animals paced or dozed in cages that were far too small for them. An dark blue lion the color of a summer night sky slept comfortably, curled up on itself like a kitten. A sloth, startlingly light blue like a morning sky, hung from a branch, barely moving. A dusky purple turtle tried to gnaw on its glass tank. A white-golden eagle ruffled its wings, letting out a harsh cry. A forest green cow mooed softly in distress. An amber-orange chihuahua yipped, jumping up against its bars.
"Quiet," Gaster roared, the cracks in his skull widening as his jaw nearly unhinged. He was very unstable - after all, monsters weren't meant to carry this much LV. It was he who had created and fine-tuned the Gaster Blasters to sever the connection between a human and their soul - how was he to know it would kill the human in the process? That had been a very interesting find.
"G-gaster?" a small voice piped up, and Gaster turned and glared in that direction, eyes burning. "I - I mean D-doctor, sir!" the small yellow lizard-monster said. "We've picked up another human on the cameras.
"Excellent," he said. "Bring them to me."
