Chapter 4:
What were you expecting? A Christmas chapter? I'm not doing that, I'm an awful person. Merry fuckin' Christmas. Joke title: finally some goddamned dialogue.
Four days after the human's unfortunate fate.
The "human" was asleep. They were twitching slightly. A certain type of person might have described the twitching as "cute". However, if they knew what was happening within the human's mind, they would not make the same observation. The human was dreaming.
Inside the human's dream
The human found themselves in their old form. The one that didn't look like plastic in a microwave. "Where am I?" they called out to no-one in particular. Somehow, someone responded.
Greetings. I am Chara. Replied the voice. You may have heard of timelines, and perhaps remembered small sections of previous ones. That is the reason I am here. You see, in a previous timeline, you were my partner. Partner in what, you may ask? Well, what else. Crime. We murdered everything. Or, rather, YOU murdered everything. That's right.
Every.
Single.
Monster.
That is the reason I am here. Continued the voice. Normally, at the end of such a "Genocide run" I attempt to strike a bargain with you. Your soul and the world is restored. However, something went wrong. That never happened. A true reset occurred. And your soul was never retrieved.
However, I teamed up with a… "friend"… to punish you for your sins in a different way.
This is your punishment.
The voice drifted away and the human woke up. They looked around with their dead, empty eyes and saw they were still in the lab. They decided to change that fact and move out, as only now had they noticed they had been there 4 days.
They slowly crawled/rolled/IDon'tKnowed towards their destination. They remembered where they left the keys, plugged them in to their respective positions and made their way towards the generator. They activated it, and the sound of power returning was an audible joy. But the sound of the elevator activating was possibly not so. And nor was the ominous squelching of the multiple amalgamates heading toward the human. Thankfully, a silhouette appeared in the doorway, and a nervous yellow lizard walked in.
"Ah! Uh… h-human! There you… uh… that's n-not the human. Maybe one of you g-guys accidentally a-activated it. I don't think I remember the one by the gener…a…tor…"
The doctor's face was at first confusion, then denial, then horror and then fear. She now knew what had taken the human so long, but she most likely didn't want to after that. She ran off, and the sound of an elevator was heard, followed by what appeared to be faint screaming.
Meanwhile, the human was cornered by the amalgamates. Despite their presence though, the amalgamates seemed more interested in the whirring of the generator than the new addition to their ranks, allowing the human to slink past unnoticed. As they reached the elevator and feebly mashed their surviving fingers against the buttons, they contemplated their next action. Find Alphys? No, she was too freaked out. Sans appeared to like science, so maybe… no, he probably didn't know about it. Papyrus and Undyne were out of the question, for obvious reasons, so that left one person.
Toriel
Well that was slightly sp00py. I mean, when you get past the melting child that chapter was relatively tame. Welp. No questions received, so ill see y'all next week. Next year. Same thing.
