" w..ke p o"
" Ngh." Frisk groaned, their body was numb from the cold, their throat dry. Tongue heavy and mouth filled with cotton.
" wa... u... ki...o."
" What?"
" i said wake up kiddo!"
Frisk turned half of their face out of the snow and opened one brown eye, seeing Sans who had a concerned looked on his face despite the smile permanently etched onto it lessening the effect.
" Hmm. What happened?" Frisk asked weakly. They saw that Sans was sitting down in the snow next to them, a bottle of ketchup, mustard, packets of relish, a bag of buns and a container of sausages in the front of him. He seemed to be making hot dogs.
" here. i'll tell ya what happened." He said as he stuffed a freshly made hotdog into Frisk's mouth.
" after i left, i was feeling tired so i went to take a nap. when i woke up, i went to papyrus and asked if he saw any humans, which was supposed to be you. he said he didn't see any so i walked back here and found you. figured you were tired from the fall and whatever ordeal you went through behind the gate, i decided to watch you ya know, make sure no monster took your soul when they dropped by. heh. fell asleep, woke up and still saw you lying there still. got hungry so i got some supplies from my station to make a sandwich. then you woke up and by that i woke you up, then you asked me what happened then i said after i left i-"
" Wait. How do skeleton's get hungry?" Frisk asked, dropping a half eaten hot dog into the snow.
" i dunno beats me." Sans shrugged. " anyway. you better go. my brother is getting bone tired of waitng for a human."
" You mustard be kidding me." Frisk said looking the condiments in the front of Sans,
Catching on, Sans replied, " i relish in the fact that my pun made you upset."
" No no. Your puns are condiment-able." ( Commendable. Sounds more like condemn but it's commend.)
" i guess you better ketchup with my brother then."
Frisk tried to get up but they couldn't move still. Their body was still numb from the cold. " ...ugh..."
Sans yawned. " i dunno much about humans, but id doubt they should be in the cold for this period of time. 'specially with no protection other than a flimsy sweater, tights and boots. here." Sans said , slipping off his blue jacket and wrapping it about Frisk, who accepted the newfound warmth gladly.
Frisk stood up slowly, regaining strength. " Thanks Sans...whoa...this jacket is huge. It's swallowing me whole."
" nah. me thinks it's because you're tiny and short."
" Dude. I'm about the same height as you. You're pretty much insulting yourself." Frisk said with half lidded eyes
" nope. i've accepted my fate as a shorty. used it to my advantage. becoming one with yourself and all that jazz.
Frisk grumbled.
"catch you on the flipside." Sans winked as he snapped his bony fingers, making himself and the food items.
Frisk stared at the half eaten hotdog beside their feet, asking the one question they never thought they would ask.
You stare at the half eaten hotdog beside your feet and ask yourself " WHAT HAS MY LIFE BECOME?!"
" Quiet." Frisk hissed, still staring at the sandwich, then covering it with snow. " May you grow into a mighty hotdog tree."
...Ah-
" Don't judge me." Frisk said as they walked away, eyes still wide.
They came across a...save point. Yes, that's what the voice called it. A save point. Sticking their hands in, Frisk felt a wave of relief wash over them. The kind of relief you get after a week of brain murdering tests or relief from obnoxious people. Or the relief you get from not being spotted by a human crazy skeleton due to a conveniently shaped lamp.
The convenience of that lamp still fills you with determination.
Frisk LV 1 20:05
Snowdin- Box Road
File Saved
However, Frisk felt a little something more than just determination. Something different. Being determined didn't really suit them. They would pretend to be determined until they could figure out what was that feeling residing within them.
Hey Frisk, I know you're probably still mad at me but-
" Damn straight." Frisk folded their arms, or at least tried to. Sans's huge ass jacket was like too much extra layers of skin.
You and I both know that I am the only guide you have and you need to listen to me. I'm sorry for keeping secrets from you but it wasn't the right time to reveal them. I promise I will let you know more about me, but only when the time is right. I fear for what will happen if you knew all the things I know early.
Frisk sighed. " Fine. But if one red flag shoots up. One! You will tell me what the funk is going on. Whether the time is right or not. I may not look it, but I am paying attention to every single detail when it comes to you. Every off statement, every blunder, your hidden innuendos. Everything. I am not dumb or stupid. I can take a hint and give a punch. Now, what was it that you where going to tell me."
There's a box up ahead. I recommend that you use it.
Frisk walked up to the box and opened it. A black panel just like the ones in the Ruins appearing before their eyes.
" Inventory...box...interesting. So I'm assuming that the area in which the things I pick up magically go to is my inventory. The box is the place in which I can put the stuff in my inventory so there will be space for more stuff that I find along the way."
Exactly.
" So. Right now, I have horrible old monster candy and Mum's b-scotch pie. In the box is a tough glove."
What are you going to do?
" I'm putting the gloves in my inventory. I may need it later. You know, to protect my hands from the cold or put a brick in it and slap the shit out of somebody Bugs Bunny style or...you aren't impressed are you."
Not in the slightest
" Hey! At least your deadpan's getting better." Frisk smiled.
" C'mon lets-wait...what if I have to come back!" Frisk shrieked.
Don't worry Frisk. The same box will appear later, so you don't have to worry about it.
Frisk nodded their head, and as soon as they turned around, Frisk noticed their soul glowing them.
" Well here we go again." Frisk said as they entered the Fight screen. Honestly, they just cam from a massive fight with Toriel. One they still haven't gotten over. They haven't recovered from the cold completely either as the tips of their finger were still a little bit on the purple side.
Snowdrake flutters forth
A monster that seemed to the hybrid of a bird and a giant ass snowflake stood on the front of Frisk.
" What are my options?" Frisk said annoyed
Check
Heckle
Laugh
Joke
" Check him please."
Snowdrake ATK-6 DEF-2
This teenage comedian fights to keep a captive audience.
Oh Asgore
" Better not snow flake out" the monster cackled
" Can I please kill him?"
As much as I would like you to in this moment of time, I'm afraid that is frowned upon in this community. Or any community in the Underground for that matter. Besides, I thought you liked puns.
" I do, but his are terrible. They don't even make sense. Sans's does but not his."
" Oh That stupid skeleton. Always stealing my show." the snowdrake growled as it attacked Frisk.
" Whoa!" Frisk exclaimed as crescent shaped ice shards where flung at them.
He's smiling at his own bad joke
" That's how most people are. Anyway, can't leave him there to embarrass himself. Here goes...ha...ha...ha."
You force the driest laugh in existence at Snowdrake's pun
" See! She's laughing! She's laughing ! Dad was wrong about me. Wrong!" the monster cackled with glee.
" It's a shame that the first person who guessed my gender was a monster who probably haven't seen a human in years. But Snowdrake, what was your dad wrong about."
The monster most likely didn't hear Frisk as he shot ice crescents towards Frisk in a square like pattern.
" No injuries like a boss!"
Snowdrake is pleased with its "cool" joke
" I swear! Even you're a better comedian than him."
" Who are you talking to human! I am a great comedian!" the monster shouted angrily
Way to go Frisk. You just made him angry.
Frisk rolled their eyes, time to see if they could spare this lame bastard and move on.
Frisk summoned the Spare and Flee buttons in the corner of their vision. Spare in yellow.
" Spare!"
You won 0 EXP and {REDACTED} Gold
" Huh?"
The snowdrake and Frisk left the screen.
" Listen here human. I don't appreciate you insulting me like that. But you laughed at my joke even if it was pretend. No one even pretended to like my jokes just to spare my feeling so here." the snowdrake muttered, shoving 12 G into Frisk's hand.
" Angsty teen." Frisk deadpanned with half lidded eyes as they pocketed the gold.
" Yo. How come I couldn't hear how much gold I received.
...shit I must be getting sucked in faster than I thought...
" What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean " sucked in"?
Oh crap. You heard that?
" If i didn't I wouldn't be asking you about it." Frisk said, adjusting San's jacket as it was sliding off their shoulders. They hated zipping it, but it was the best way to keep it on them.
That's...one of the things I need to tell you later.
" You're losing your edge. You keep slipping up and revealing information. I'm gonna get curious. You don't want me to. I've already told you I'm keeping track." Frisk warned
The voice sighed. I-I know
What could the voice possibly mean? Also, finals for this term are finished. Hooray!
