StoryBook: "Alright, we're back. The guys back at the network said we on't have to respond to whistleblowers who take policing out upon themselves. So we're going to continue with the new questions. Lets see what we got here..." *Sits down behind desk and shuffles through cards*
Gaster: *Walks in* "Sorry, that shift break took longer than I'd thought. I got your message. I have to say I'm glad to hear it. *Sits down in chair and crosses legs.*
I'm ready."
StoryBook: "Alright, here we go. Wow, Arclin has a lot of good ones. I'll just read it off. Arclin Asks: "Interesting! I have a few questions, hope you don't mind.
First of all, what is your favorite type of food? We know Papyrus likes spaghetti and Sans prefers unhealthy food like burgers and hot dogs, but what about you?
And what about the Gaster Blasters? First of all, how come Sans has them? Second of all, how do they work? And last but not least, the name. Gaster Blasters? Seriously?
Oh, and since the laws of space and time don't seem to apply in the Void, have you maybe seen any of the alternate timelines such as Underswap, Underfell and Outertale? If so, which ones have you seen and what do you think of them?
Thank you for your time and answers, if you answer this, that is." Gaster?"
Gaster: "*Chuckles* How I do love people like this... Ok. Favorite food... I don't really need to eat anymore so I assume you mean when I lived. Hm... Twas I who showed papyrus spaghetti. When I existed, I usually tried to cook a meal for my nephews every night they stayed with me. I was good with spaghetti. Papyrus loved my cooking and his mother would sed me letters about all hsi attempts at recreating my recipe... Heh... He tried so hard. Grilby was a personal friend so for lunch, i'd sometimes take them over to his resturant. Sans took a liking to the food grilby made and begged for me to take him when he came to stay... Hah... *A small blue tear comes down from his eye. He quickly wipes it away.* Those were good times. As I said before, I make stops in the new world without me. I made a plate of my spaghetti using matter from the world in the universal playground here and left if for him on a tree stump as he was a child. He keeps trying to recreate it. I led sans to Grillbys as a child in the form of a small black butterfly. No reason they should go without their favorite foods because my life was stolen from me. But mine? Easy. I love lasagna with cheesecake as a desert. The Meal preceded by a leafy lettuce salad. I haven't had any real food for a long time, but that was my favorite. Sorry for droning on with my stories for such a simple answer."
Gaster: "Gaster Blasters... Gaster Blasters... Ah yes, that little project I worked on. When I was erased, so were my accomplishments as they were my effect on the universe.
Those were a part of me. The younger King Asgore was curious at the powers of the human soul energy and wondered what monster soul energy did, he wondered if it could be used as a weapon. As the royal scientist for five generations, I happily accepted the challenge. I worked for months, day and night, on them. I created an amulet like thing that used magic to connect itself to ones soul and maximize the energy that emitted from ones individual soul. It has a different effect for everyone, as everyone can have different soul powers. I created a copy and made two gun like objects to explore its use as a weapon. You placed the amulets in a little slot on the top and the gun harnessed the power of the amulet connected to your soul to create aggressive shots or bursts of your soul energy, having different effects depending on your soul type.
Theoretically it could be used as a healig mechanism or even a gravity or portal gun if used by the right person or monster. When I had my nephews over, I was putting in the finishing touches on them and little Sans walked in. He saw them and thought they were so cool. He picked one up and pointed it at the wall(Thankfully, it wasn't charged) and yelled "Bang!". I laughed at this and he joined me. He said: "Look Uncle Gaster! You made a Blaster! Its a Gaster Blaster!" and the name just stuck.
I gave it to him before his birthday shortly before Frisk arrived in the under-realm, leaving them on a tree-stump with the note: "Gaster Blasters, to Sans. From the Uncle you never knew. With love. Happy Birthday, Sans." After a few weeks of tikering, he finally figured it out. What happened next was up to what frisk decided... I hope you find this satisfactory."
Gaster: "And lastly, The worlds. I've seen many. Many different universes... Too many to count. Underswap, flowerfell, outertale, Undynetale, skeletontale, Underfell,
AnotherTale... Just the ones I thought i'd mention. There are far to many to list in our show time. I'm enigmatic in all of them. Whatever erased me after my accidedent was incredibly thourough."
StoryBook: "Alright, hoped you enjoyed that bout. I AM ERROR asks: Hey author if we have characters that represent us can they come in? Any way.
Gaster how was it in the void? Any thing else in there? And what would you do to get out?
StoryBook: "Yes, I can invite guests but they need to talk to me personally through a private message of some sort about it. Then I could explain in further detail.
You're up Gaster."
Gaster: "Well, the void is rather empty. I dwell here now. I can create anything I want as there is noting to stop me from doing it. I've been here so long... I've lost a lot of Desire. Plus it gets boring being a god after a while... To get back, I gather up determination from surroundings I can make. The void will let me back in the world free of charge. But the world charges me to leave. I make deals or use my stocked determination to open space and time to go back. When Frisk completes his/her story,
I use it as a way to get back into the world. I go in. Every time, frisk wants a do-over. We make a deal. Frisk gives me all the determination he/she(Depends on universe) has accumulated over the course of their journey and I send them back to when they first dropped in with no memory of their dealigs or leave false memories of Chara or another monster doing it. I already explained this theory before I think... I leave Flowey or Chara with memory for continuations sake."
StoryBook: "Okie Dokey, Iamdaraptor asks: Hey Gaster is it true that being in the Void kinda nulls pain? I mean,Aftertale Gaster tried to persuade Geno Sans to give up on his...'quest' and join him and kinda hang out in the Void where 'You don't feel anything'. Though this may all be just a little ruse just to prevent Geno from carrying out his plan,I have to ask: is this statement true?
Gaster: "In a way. There is nothing in the void to make you feel pain but theres nothing stopping you. Its about perspective. Once you've been here as long as me, you realize that there never is pain. Its all in your head. Theres nothing to keep your thoughts from becoming reality, so if you believe the experience is painful, then you will writhe in agony until you just don't want to hurt anymore and you get the idea that maybe you're not in pain. Then it stops. I tried to convince him but if he believes there are things to feel in the void then he will, if he doesn't i'm perfectly good on my word. It matters not to me whether everyone dies, I'd just reset the timeline again. But I hate to see my nephew with so much blood on his hands... But its not of consequence at the moment. Next."
StoryBook: "Sorry Gaster... Alright... Alright. Alphysassistant asks: "gaster hlw did you get the cracks in your skul and the holes in your hanss?". *Griamces* "That question..."
Gaster: *Groans* "I don't like remembering that... I earned them in the major conflicts of the UnderRealms past. I have a blast in my ribcage, thats from an experiment for a weapon I did back in the great war. There are two major events in monster history. The Great Exodus, and the Great War. To prevent humans from following us down into the space rift in that cave to the under-realm, the first royal scientist, Clause, created the barrier to prevent people from coming in, but as a byproduct, monsters couldn't leave.
Now, if people didn't lke how things were, they couldn't just go somewhere else. So they confronted their problems. Everyone with different ideas of leadership went and founded their own kingdoms and waged war throughout The under-reals history. Asgores ancestor was the first king from the over-realm before the exodus so his ancestors claimed that the throne was their birth-right. The other houses disagreed. Skirmishes broke out. To monsters, Skirmishes are major battles, much unlike what the humans do.
But I'll save you history lessons. If you want the history of the under-realm, just ask. Monsters are tough and live for a very long time. Especially skeletons. We're an old, powerful, stubborn breed. I fought in the great war 300 years previous to modern times. I was the general surgeon, meaning I ran battle clinics and got nurses to work, and I made and prototyped weapons. I sometimes tested them on enemy troops... I got hit in the head a good time with a sword, the one that cleaves my head and the one from my mouth up is a crack caused by an explosion. The holes in my hands are when I was caught by a raiding party and some of those fellows didn't trust me with my hands by reputation. They nailed me to a blackwood tree 13 feet off the ground and let me dangle until I was rescued by my allies a few weeks later. We, monsters I mean, slowly heal from wounds, but if they happen suddenly and trauatically or relate to a traumatic situation, they don't. They scar."
StoryBook: "Snowthewhitewolf asks: have you been to alternate universes related to the original, if you have then what's your favorite?"
Gaster:"As I mentioned before, I have. But to be honest, I miss plain old Undertale. Where I was before... This."
StoryBook: "Ok. How about our last question that doesn't have a scarring backstory. A Guest Member asked: "What are you thinking of Alphys as the current royal scientist?"
Gaster: "I'm really happy for her. I always knew she had it in her. When I existed, Alphys earned my notice at a science convention with her presntation on mobile barriers and her soul power thesis. I was a judge. She got a blue ribbon and I asked her if she wanted to be my lab assistant. She was overwhelmingly happy and accepted.
We worked together for years. She was on a much deserved vacation when I had my accident. We had grown close... Best friends and even Romantically close... Had I not had my accident, Sans and Papyrus would be calling her Aunt Alphys... But lets not dwell on that. I was erased and I'm glad to see that she accomplished and recieved the position without me. Metaton was a stroke of pure genius on her part. I'm happy for her, but I have to say, I didn't see her relationship with Undyne coming. Even if it pains me, I'm just happy that she's happy."
StoryBook: "Alright, thats all of our questions and all we have time for. Like our show? Tell us in the review so we can keep answering your questions, and Keep sending in those questions and Gaster will answer them! Goodbye everyone! See you next time!"
