Okay, ready for the next chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed the last one and I hope the same for this one. I don't have anything else to say so let's just get this thing over with!
Just Curios- Thank you for your support and I'll look into your suggestion. I would have to think about how it would play out and I think it could fall out interesting, so I will do my best to add that into this chapter or the following ones.
Frisk entered this new area and could see a save point, another box, and a... shop? She went inside and went up to the desk. When she got inside, she was met with a bunny behind a desk. "Hello, traveller. How can I help you?" Frisk said hi. "Hiya! Welcome to Snowdin! I can't remember the last time I've seen a fresh face around here. Where did you come from? The capital? You don't look like a tourist. Are you here by yourself?" So many questions at once. 'I came from the...' Frisk new what the underground was called, but she didn't know what they called the place she lived at. 'The... outside of the underground, yes I'm alone.' That's all she could come up with and the person behind the counter seemed surprised. "Your from the surface?" Frisk nodded. "..." She asked what there was to do here. "You want to know what to do here in Snowdin?" Frisk nodded. "Grillby's has food, and the library has information. If your tired, you can take a nap at the inn. It's right next door - my sister runs it. And if your bored, you can sit outside and watch those wacky skeletons do their thing. There's two of 'em... brothers, I think." 'You mean Papyrus and Sans?' "Yeah, I think so. They just showed up one day and... asserted themselves. The town has gotten more interesting since then." Frisk asked about the towns history. "Think back to your history class..." 'No thank you...' "A long time ago, monsters lived in the ruins back there by the forest. Long story short, we decided to leave the ruins and head for the end of the caverns. Along the way, some fuzzy folk decided they liked the cold and set up camp in Snowdin. Oh, and don't think about trying to explore the ruins... The door's been locked for ages. So unless your a ghost or can burrow under it, forget about it." Frisk asked what her life was like. "Life is the same as usual. A little claustrophobic... but... deep down, we all know that freedom is coming, don't we? As long as we have that hope, we can grit our teeth and keep facing the same struggles, day after day... That's life, ain't it?" Frisk was saddened on the response. She knew that monsters were locked away a while ago, but she didn't know how long ago. She asked what she could but. "I've got a tough glove for 50 gold, manly bandanna for 50 gold, bisicles for 15 gold, and cinnamon buns for 25 gold." 'CINNAMON!' Frisk bought two cinnamon buns and thanked her as she headed back out.
Frisk saw the save point but walked past it and entered the inn. She saw two more bunnies, some stairs, a picture, and a lamp. She walked up to talk with the smaller bunny. "Mom says that sleeping can increase your maximum hp. ...What's maximum hp?" 'I have no idea.' She went up to the taller one, she seemed to be the sister of the person at the shop. "Welcome to Snowed Inn! Snowdin's premier hotel! One night is 80 gold." Frisk was feeling a little tired so she bought a room and took a nap, or tried to at least. There were three ghosts there who kept snoring really loud. She woke up a while later and noticed the ghosts were probably gone because she couldn't hear them anymore. She sat up and left back down the stairs that lead to the lobby. "Hiya! You look like you had a great sleep. Which is great cause you were up there for about two hours. Here's your money back. You can pay me if your going to stay overnight." 'I only slept for two hours? It feels like it's been longer.' She headed back outside.
She went up to the save point and... well, saved. What else was she going to do? *The sight of such a friendly town fills you with determination.* The town did look quite friendly, Frisk agreed. She walked to the other side of the in and could now see more people, an igloo, and a house. She also saw a sign next to it and read it. *Don't feel like walking to the other side of town? use the under snow tunnels! They're efficiently laid out!* 'I want to see the rest of the town before I use that.' She walked up to one of the people standing outside and tried to start a conversation. "That lady over there... something disturbs me about her..." 'uh... okay.' She went up to the other person. "Isn't my little cinnamon just the cutest? Bun-buns are so adorable... TEE HEE! Bun-bun-bun-bun-bun..." Frisk walked over to the third person, in which she saw moving towards this way, she could also see a Christmas tree. "Awful teens tormented a local monster by decorating its tree-like horns. So we started giving that monster presents to make him feel better. Now it's tradition to put presents under a decorated tree." 'These monsters sure have a different history than ours... I wonder if they believe in Santa?' She went around the tree and saw more people. She also saw what she assumed to be Grillbys. She looked and the other kid standing next to the tree. 'That kid doesn't have arms...' She walked up to him and tried to start a conversation. "Yo! You're a kid too, right?" 'Yes.' "I can tell 'cause your wearing a striped shirt." 'Wow. Maybe that's how 'that' works down here?' She went up to the person in front of Grillbys. "This town doesn't have a mayor. But if there's ever a problem the skeleton will tell a fish lady about it. Thaaaaaaaaat's politics." Frisk walked away trying to figure out what the heck politics were. She went into Grillbys for some food, she still had the cinnamon buns, but, she wanted to try out something else to. She saw a few different monsters in their... and the dogs... yay. She went up to the counter and asked if she could get anything. "..." *Grillbz said that he would hand you a glass of water, but he doesn't go near that stuff.* 'Makes sense, being on fire.' She went back outside and talked with more people. The mouse to the right of Grillbys said stuff about how everyone is cracking at jokes and forgetting their crises. The person next to him said something about why they smile if they're locked underground. She went up a path and found more houses, she went up another path and found a river, she went back down and left and found someone picking up giant cubes of ice and throwing them into the river. She headed back down to the main part of Snowdin. She found the library... um... libarby, and went inside. She was greeted by someone who she guessed was a lizard. "Welcome to the Snowdin Library." 'You know your sign is misspelled... right?' "Yes, we know the sign is misspelled." She went and took a look at all the books, read one, and headed back out. She continued on her path and came across a giant house with mail boxes, one filled with unread junk mail, and the other labeled papyrus had nothing. She tried to knock on the door but received no response, so she continued on her path. At the other end of the house she saw a shed and another igloo. The shed was locked and she didn't want to go back to the beginning yet. She noticed that the ice continued along the river towards the area she was heading and wondered if there was another person picking up the ice up ahead.
She continued to the next part of the area and noticed it had became more and more foggy and she could barely see her hands. She continued on this path until she ran into a shadow. "HUMAN. ALLOW ME TO SHARE SOME COMPLEX FEELINGS. FEELINGS LIKE... THE JOY OF FINDING ANOTHER PASTA LOVER, THE ADMIRATION FOR ANOTHER'S PUZZLE-SOLVER SKILLS, THE DESIRE TO HAVE A COOL, SMART PERSON THINK YOU ARE COOL. THESE FEELINGS... THEY MUST BE WHAT YOU ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW! I CAN HARDLY IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE TO FEEL THAT WAY. AFTER ALL, I AM VERY GREAT! I DON'T EVER WONDER WHAT HAVING LOTS OF FRIENDS IS LIKE. I PITY YOU... LONELY HUMAN... WORRY NOT! YOU SHALL BE LONELY NO LONGER! I THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL BE YOUR..." He had turned around. "NO... NO, THIS IS ALL WRONG! I CAN'T BE YOUR FRIEND! YOU ARE A HUMAN! I MUST CAPTURE YOU! THEN I CAN FULFILL MY LIFELONG DREAM! POWERFUL! POPULAR! PRESTIGIOUS! THAT'S PAPYRUS! THE NEWEST MEMBER... OF THE ROYAL GUARD!" Everything faded to black and Papyrus blocked the way. 'Why must everyone want to fight me! Why is capturing me so important?' She thought this as she prepared for the first attack.
_Okay, Before anyone goes into the review, I know that Frisk can't talk but I needed to add that the monsters can understand her so that this can pass through nicely. I figured that she could've learned a bit of their language or the monsters understand hand language, I'll leave that for you to decide. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and prepared for the next one! I have a plan to get the next chapter in before Wednesday so that I can get one chapter each day for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. No promises though.
