Smiling as you draw in your book you feel a rare peace as you draw, pretending it is what you think the outside looks like. You wonder in your mind if you can convince someone to let you go outside. You never really been outside that you can remember. You hear the door knob jangles and you quickly hide your drawing stuff under a pillow standing up and smoothing out your dress hoping that your hands do not give off the tell tale signs of smudges to say you were drawing.
The door swings open and you furrow your brow when tall goopy person with a white face comes in. He is talking but.. you cant understand what he is saying. "M-mister I am sorry I can't understand what your saying..." You feel your head start to throb as the room fades to gray and you feel yourself changing in age from your six year old self to twenty-six. You hold your head wincing as the figure speaks again.
" You have to wake up"
Your eyes flash open as you feel you heart beating fast and adrenaline pumping in your system. Taking a breath you let your eyes wander around the dark room as you try to make out where you are. Your not in your apartment, so that means that you were brought here. Inwardly you panic. Did your brother succeed in bringing you home and this the room he brought you to. You sit up quickly and check yourself.
You see you still have everything on except your backpack which is by the bed and your boots which are by ther door. You relax a little letting your barely awake mind defog normally now so you can try to piece together what happened when you notice some pie on a plate on the ground.
"... why is there pie on the floor?" You contemplate as you stand up and bend down to pick it up. Smells like butterscotch and cinnamon. Your stomach growls causing you to blink and blush slightly. When was the last time you ate? Shrugging you take a the fork by the pie and take a bite. Your eyes widen at the flavor then let out a pleased hum. This is so good. The person who made this had to be a chef of a five star restaurant or something. You pout when the slice disappears to quickly.
"awe man, serves me right for eating it so fast. Should have savored it." You sigh looking at the door. Holding your head a bit higher. You may as well go out and thank the person whom helped you out and left you some food. And well.. return the dirty plate to be cleaned. With that thought in mind you go over to the door, slipping on your boots, and open the door poking your head out letting your eyes adjust to the light. Looking to your left you you see various plants and furniture. You vaguely make out a mirror at the end of the hall. Curious to what your appearance looks like you decide to go and check so you can fix your hair if it is a bad case of bed head.
You examine the plants as you head down to hall towards the mirror. Tilting your head you find yourself wondering if they are real or fake. You chose to lean down and give the flower near the mirror a experimental sniff. Your surprised by the sweet scent it gives off. You can help the smile that grows on your face as you step forward preparing to fix your hair, which as expected looks like you expected it to. After setting the plate down on the floor for a moment you run your fingers through your hair pulling most of it into a ponytail. You take a moment to look over yourself when your smile falters.
"... that's weird... I don't got bags under my eyes like I normally do when ever I wake up.." You mutter to yourself as you lean in closer studying your face and eyes. You didn't just not have bags under your eyes. Curtsy of nightmares of the past and your lucid dreams, unfortunately. Your eyes also look clear and bright, and your skin looks healthy and has a warm tone to it. Studying yourself your mind is filled with many questions. But you narrow it down to the fact that in combination of your fall and passing out is rapid succession had made it so you got a lot more rest then you normally would.
You gain a deeply thinking expression as you remembered that you passed out, why did you pass out again? "... oh... Oh gosh that's right. After the creepy talking flower I bumped into a huge goat woman... Toriel? I think she called herself..." You mutter as you glance down to the plate on the floor thinking to yourself.
She would not have carried you into her home if she wanted to hurt you, let alone give you something as tasty as that pie. It did not have anything bad in it either, if it did you would also be hurt or worse. So with that in mind she probably was a good person. You should not let a person's exterior dictate how you treat someone.
"I should probably say sorry to them for passing out on them then ask about this place and stuff... so I do not have future issues.." You resolve with a smile coming back to your feature bending down to pick up the plate and head down the hall past the three doors, admiring the golden hue the hallway has as you pass from the golden yellow tones into a beigish color. This room looks to be the entryway, to the left the door to the house maybe and the right a stair way.
A basement or cellar? May be worth looking at later. Straight across from you appears to be the living room dining room combo. You see her sitting in a comfy chair reading a book. Ah, now you wonder if you would be disturbing her. Though she could just be reading waiting for you to wake up to? You shuffle in place slightly, debating on what you should do when she looks up and see you and stands up smiling warmly at you.
"Oh your up. I was quite worried about you when you lost consciousness, I hope you do not mind I carried you here. How are you feeling? Any better?" She asks you, giving off a warm and comforting vibe that you vaguely recall similarly to your grandmother before she was forced out of your life when you were younger.
You were never sure why though... No. You need to focus on here and now not the past. You and the younger self of you have not been connected in a long time. It would not be healthy for you to bring back past memories. You could rebound again. And you do not want to cause this kind woman a reason to panic. So you smile at her and nod.
"Y-yeah... I kinda had a really long day or.. night... Kinda had to run from something... hazardous to my health and life on the surface and ended up falling down here then came across a bad vibes flower... Sorry for passing out everything was happening way to face for me to process." You say with a awkward laugh.
"Thanks for helping me... oh and that pie was wonderful. I never eatten anything so delicious in my life. I usually just eat what ever is available or cheap..." You realize that your rambling and look down at the plate in your hands.
"S-sorry... I don't really talk to p-people much..." You glance up at her and notice she is giving you a saddened expression as she comes forward. She takes the plate and pats your head. You find yourself feeling like a kid, when you were with your grandmother and she would do something like this for you when you had been mistreated by your parents or older brother. Your feel your throat tighten as you try and will your memories back down and blink to try and prevent tears from falling.
"It is okay. You sound like you have lived through a lot for one so young. You do not have to tell me about it if you wish not to. But you do not have to be nervous around me, I will not harm you and I promise once you feel ready to I will help you out by introducing you to everyone in the ruins and teach you how to handle the puzzles and encounters... Monsters have a very different way than humans do when it comes to interactions and I would not wish for you to be hurt on accident or hurt someone else without meaning to. You seem like a sweet young woman and do not wish to harm others, do you not?" She says to you as you stare up at her taking in all she is saying thinking about it.
So... monsters? Is that what her species is? If that is the case maybe that flower was one to? That means that the monster race comes in many forms and colors. Man you feel like crud already what if the flower was not all bad and was blocking the way in to help you and you just up and ditched him... her... it? The voice sounds like a boy.
With a small nod you manage a smile as you look up at her. "That would be nice thank you... I think I would like to learn as soon as possible... I want to find someone later that I came across when I first came here and apologize. I was running off of fear at the time and I may have... run off and hurt their feelings..."
You watch her expression as she smiled softly and nods. " Very well. Just let me take care of this plate and go out front. I will meet you there shortly." You can't help but let your smile grow as you nod. And head out the the door. You notice a glimmering light that gives off a white glow. Curious you reach out and touch it.
[The thought of seeing the flower that you met again to apologize fills you with hope]
You blink as you pull your hand back. That was.. odd? But not unpleasant. In fact it made something within you feel... better? Warm? Or something. Kind of like how you felt before your mind broke making you refer to yourself in your mind at least as you your instead of I I'm and me. Huh... you will dwell on that thought later. Right now you need to wait for Toriel to get done with the dishes or something.
"... oh gosh I forgot to tell her a name to call me by." you groan as you face palm, mentally chastising yourself as you sit down near the door to wait and think of what you want to call yourself.
Toriel makes her way down the stairs, heading to the exit to the ruins. It is around the time her mystery friend comes to do knock knock jokes. "I will have to make it quick today and tell him I have something to do today." Thinking back to a few days prior, when she had asked him to promise her to look after any human that crosses through those doors.
She smile with a sad smile, how sad it is that she had not of met him prior, to set her mind a little at ease. Though knowing how he had set think it may not have done much. At least the six before this young woman would have had a peaceful end with laughter and happiness his watching those poor souls.
She found herself standing in front of the doors and sighed. This human; the seventh human. She is not a child, and she surely would wish to leave after she gets used to the ruins. There is something about her though, despite sounding like she is broken, that is not like the past souls. Aside from being fully grown. Almost like she has the capability to use magic, like the mages of the past but it is locked away.
Perhaps she should help her unlock it, as much as she would rather her not learn anything harmful she could teacher healing magic so she could stand a chance of surviving once she leaves, as is individuals with all humans she tried to save in the past. Yes. That will probably be what would help the most.
It would take a while but it would be worth it and set her mind slightly at ease. Perhaps along the way she could help heal some of the internal wounds that the surface had left on the sweet timid young woman. She puts her thoughts aside when she hears a knock on the door.
"Knock knock"
She smiles hearing the voice of whom she was waiting for. "who's there?"
"Ya."
"Ya who?" She says her eyes crinkling with mild mirth as she listens to the slightly muffled voice of the monster on the other side of the door.
"Yahoo! I'm just as psyched to see you!" He states as she laughed out loud and he'd laugh with her. "It is good to see you to my friend. How are you doing?" She said after the laughter had passed. There was a pause before a chuckle came from the other side.
"Snow know. Alright I guess. My bro is doing great as always. Not much has changed aside from Dogamy and Dogaressa having a pup. Undyne has given them leave for a bit so that they can prepare for the arrival of them in a couple months." He states before another pause. She smiles softly humming recalling those two when they were just pups themselves. How time sure flys when one does not keep track.
"You doing okay? Tibia honest we usually do not talk about day to day life until after a couple of jokes." She sighs figuring he would notice. He was very observant despite not being able to see her from his side.
"I am fine my friend. Just thinking about the young woman that fell down recently... she is not really a child like the others but she is not dangerous like one would think of a adult that is fearful of the unknown or monsters. I think she is more afraid of her own kind then us, given how quickly she warmed up to me and asked for me to help her find the first monster she came across to say sorry for running away from them. She probably has a green soul my guess but I could be wrong." She states as she rests her hand over her chest, where her soul is as it pulses.
She remembers Chara and how they had quickly warmed up to everyone and from what they implied they did not have the greatest life among humans too. Despite being a child when they fell it was still surprising the similarities between the two many generations apart. Of course that does not mean that the other children that fell had any issues with humans. It had been just Chara which means that even though humans could be quite cruel even to their own kind that not everyone was that way.
"... As much as I would rather not send them through I know that with adults it would be harder to convince them to stay. Given how the other six were quite... set in their desire to leave. So after teaching them enough to help them out I will send them out here. Would you please be here to meet them? It will likely be in about three to four months depending on how fast they learn" She says to him waiting for a answer.
"... eh sure... I already said I would keep a eye on any human that comes out here. Though I was planning on being out here anyways and introducing them in... my way.. Hehe. Petty whoppie cushions do not work through doors. It is always a hilarious prank." She could not help a amused giggle. "Oh my how amusing. I am sure that would make her smile. As much as I would like to talk to you some more I must go to her. It is rude to keep a guest waiting for so long."
His hum comes from the other side" Alright, I fibula I better get going my bro is probably wondering where I am at. Have a good day my friend." he states causing her to smile before heading back towards the stairs.
Unknowing that she was being listened too once again by the flower. He is sporting a contemplative expression. Confused slightly by what he had heard. He straightened out his petals and laughed. Well it would be a long time before she comes down this way. He could wait. No need to rush the anomaly at all. It is not often Frisk gets replaced. And by golly he was going to make the most of it.
