A/N: I'd like to say that I'm very sorry for not having been able to update. I'm having a little trouble with the Document Manager of Fanfiction .net and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who ever encounters such problems. Unless, of course, there are users who copy past their chapters from a spare document (or site, in my case) and when they try saving it, its all HTML bullshit. What gives?

Anywho, I'll try speeding the updates up (until the point where I stopped sporadically updating over at AO3 because the original doc where I wrote it all in is. Inaccessible at the moment.) so please buckle in and enjoy the ride.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to read my half-assed fan fiction brought to you by a stray idea and lots of dicking around in Tumblr.

Soon enough, they were finally left alone to explore. The monsters in the RUINS seemed to like Dave, and he had given Napstablook advice on his music. They'd never seen the ghost so happy.

Dave also seemed like a good fighter, if the way he dodged was any indication. He didn't seem like he had any ill intentions for the monsters, in fact he seemed like he was used to this…

That human sure is weird…Frisk hears Chara say.

Is he?I think its cool. Chara snorted. I didn't mean it like that, Frisk. They're just…strangely powerful. Check their stats.

And check did Frisk do.

[ACT: CHECK DAVE STATS]

DAVE

LV 10

HP 50/50

ATK 10 (+20 if CALEDFWLCH is used)

DEF 15 (+30 if CALEDFWLCH is used, + 10 if KNIGHT OF TIME OUTFIT is equipped)

…what was CALEDFWLCH?

CP: Dave, what's CALEDFWLCH?

Dave stopped walking once he read the text. He looked at Frisk.

…

CP: …Dave?

TG: caledfwlch was my main weapon

TG: cant find it anymore

TG: why do you ask

CP: What kind of weapon was CALEDFWLCH?

TG: it was a sword

TG: i usually called it the legendary piece of shit when it got broken in half

TG: a stupid mistake i did

TG: nothing too special

Frisk winced at the curse a bit. Dave mentally cursed. He wasn't supposed to type that. Damn.

TG: sorry

TG: didnt mean to say that

TG: its not gonna happen again

TG: i think

TG: man i dont even know

TG: like

TG: hell

TG: what am i even supposed to be doing

TG: besides all the puzzles that never seem to end

CP: It's fine, Dave. People slip up all the time.

TG: wait

TG: how the hell would you even know what 'shit' was?

TG: youre a kid

CP: Adults never were that nice to me Dave. Neither were teenagers.

CP: I'd appreciate it if you didn't say those things around here though.

TG: why

CP: From what I've learned, Monsters in the Underground are really friendly because they only have their souls, filled with love hope and compassion.

TG: from what youve learned

CP: Yes, is there a problem?

TG: you tell me

TG: it shouldve been your first time here

TG: so unless youve been messing with things you really shouldnt have

TG: well

TG: i wouldnt know how to explain a thing like this to the others

Frisk tensed and so did Chara. Was he able to feel the RESETS?

Speakinng of Tumblr, did I mention there's a tumblr for this story? It's at stuckunderground-dot-tumblr-dot-com, and I'd be pretty ecstatic when you would take the time to visit.

Ciao.
