Chapter 1: Disturbance in DETERMINATION

A/N: Howdy! It's me, Pandaman the panda! But really, this is teeeechnically a self insert but not because it's not really me. Confusing right? Well, I'm mostly posting this for stress relief, so I may or may not update often. ~Leave some reviews, make some theories, go ahead and even PM me for a friendly chat!

I really hate flowers. Seriously, even before I woke up in the middle of nowhere surrounded by said item, I truly hated flowers. I had severe allergies that, for whatever reason, spiked up ONLY around flowers. And so here I was, a teenager stranded in wherever I am, waking up to an unfamiliar sight, and my first thought is about how I hate flowers. I really REALLY hate them.

Enough about that and more the task at hand, I suppose. Sneezing violently, I detangled myself from the vines and petals adorning my body, and squinted around, looking for an exit. I spotted a low archway up ahead that was conveniently shrouded in darkness. Sighing deeply before brushing myself off, I crept cautiously towards to structure, sitting as if waiting for its' next passerby.

Sticking my head through, I caught the end of a conversation. "What a terrible creature to be harassing such a poor youth… even if she is a human." Even if she's a… human? Curiosity peaked, I slid into the room slowly, cautious of any potential noise I could make. "I am Toriel, caretaker of the ruins, if you would like, I can show you through." … Toriel? As is that goat lady in that undertale game half the internet won't shut up about? Welp, I was probably living/dreaming the fanbases… more desirable dream, but why me? I hadn't even really played the game myself.

Hearing a faint "Yeah." From whomever Toriel was speaking to, I snapped back to reality and waited another minute or two before the footsteps fully faded… and smacked my face straight into an invisible wall. Trying to backtrack out of the entrance ended up with the same result. I sighed before sitting, my back against the unseeable object. I had just realized I should most likely being freaking out but… I just lacked the effort… no, more so determination to care…

I sat there for a few minutes contemplating what the fuck just happened, when a voice called out to me.

"You… are an unforeseen variable. How did you get here?" It demanded, echoing slightly. Well now I was hearing voices in my head, great.

"What's it to you invisi-bro?" I said. Annoying people I secretly don't like with puns is truly hilarious, and I could already tell I wouldn't like this… disembodied voice thingy.

"How did you even get here? The prime barrier to the mountain peak can only be passed through with DETERMINATION, and as far as I can tell, you have none to spare." It questioned, raising and dropping in pitch. For whatever reason, it stressed the word 'determination' out far longer than was necessary.

"So you literally have to believe in yourself to make it to the top? If that ain't a cheesy line, I don't know what is." I said, adjusting my position on the floor.

"Despite that you are here… yes this could be interesting. Listen well eighth fallen child… somehow you have found yourself where you don't belong. Without DETERMINATION, you will be torn to shreds from anything… probably even a moldsmal." It paused, laughing at whatever self-reference it had made. I also didn't particularly like being called a kid. "So in turn… I grant you a gift. Use it wisely…" It drawled, and I fell flat on my back as the wall disappeared.

Standing up and dusting myself off, I waited a minute for his 'gift' to appear. When nothing happened, I looked forlornly at the passage ahead. "That girl and Toriel are probably so far ahead… I wish I could catch up." I complained.

"Granted." A voice called out, and I was suddenly tangled in the top of a tree high above the ground. Below I saw the girl enter the room I was in, while Toriel walked out from the bunker-looking structure behind me. I should probably listen to what they are saying, but that teleportation stunt left me feeling more sick than that time I at rotten lobster on a roller coaster… and yes, at the same time.

"-Not a scratch! Impressive, but that was really careless of both of us…" Toriel said gently, smiling at the girl as she returned Toriel's with one of her own. "Mmmm, I shouldn't have tried to surprise you, here, come along to my house if you wish." Toriel extended her hand, and the girl took it graciously.

I watched as they went inside, and I went to work detangling my body from the dark branches of the gnarled tree. Hitting the ground with an undignified 'oomph', I straightened myself before creeping into the house. And wow, the interior was MUCH nicer than the rugged outside.

"Call me if you need anything during your stay~!" Toriel called, before she started coming down the hallway. I panicked, she would see me if I dashed for the entrance , so instead, I pushed up against the corner, half-wrapped in shadows, and prayed and hoped very hard I wouldn't get seen.

*Performing such a daunting task fills you with HOPE. HP restored.
