Author Note: As always I own nothing, and I wonder how everyone is enjoying the story so far? This chapter was something I've been waiting on, and it's got pleased as punch. I'm bouncing on my feet in anticipation. That's how much I like this chapter.
I was singing a soft melody the words coming to me I started with light but mournful aria. I could feel a chill run down my spine another dream. But I felt unlike many of the time before like their was something else her more the mystery monster. I ignore it and try to pay it no mind.
Now that I'm down below
My hope can only grow
As I see more glimmer with every new day rise
Though the world seems so bleak
But I know that just can't be
With the kindness, they have shown
I know that they deserve all their glee
I know that they need to be free
As we all should be
But does that mean
I could never leave?
So many queries
But no answers that I see
All I can do is follow and hope
An answer comes along
"You know I hope that's actually just your true singing voice and not just you trying to impress me. I would like ya even if your singing sounded like an electric can opener."
"I can honestly sing; I just wish I wasn't another voice in the chorus. I wish that I was the star of the show."
You need to find the solace in just being a voice. Sometimes when you do, it's when you find your happiness others will notice it too.
I knew it was the mysterious person from my dream. The monster whose wasn't in all of my dreams lately. I was shocked he was in my dreams once again he had been a visitor, and at first, it was unnerving, but I like his company even if I couldn't see what he looked like. Though I wish I knew how he was getting into my dreams in the first place, we chatted about how becoming famous was tough going and the only thing about that seemed to pay the bills were what I wrote. I felt so at ease so at peace so comfortable.
"You going have to wake up sometime Frisk."
"You know but let me enjoy your presence while you can."
"You? You can do if you want to snuggle and make out for the rest of your dream I'd like it too."
You all we did the dream was a paradise of affection and temptation you honestly felt my smile he started to tickle me and cuddle me.
I was getting into the groove of things being alone. The dream is still running through my mind giving me a pep in my step. Though the disconcerting feeling of it being now two people was watching, and it worried me. When I go to bed, I need to ask him how he keeps doing that. While Toriel was away, I would peruse her home but never steal, never damage but information gathering? I couldn't help myself. And I would take advantage of the Wi-Fi; I sent messages of comfort to Stephanie and a bunch of friends. To my family sending them a picture showing that I'm perfectly safe and I'm in no danger my dad asked that I fell into a wonderland. I had to explain that no that was on my way to getting out. Looking online to see what the police rescue team are doing. According to Toriel, their attempts are pointless when I check the new feed they were going to try to get some high powered machinery since dynamite did nothing. Like she told me " it's meant to keep us in and broken within not from the outside. They could try for hundred years not even make a dent in breaking through". I tried not to dwell on the fact that police were in vain wasting time in a rescue effort, but at least I can try to talk the cops out of wasting their time, but I would be wasting my breath. One thing about cops that never changes is the stubbornness.
It was a lovely time all things considered Toriel has lots of books to read. I did read more than once including a book on underground and some things about monsters Toriel wouldn't think to tell me. Like a fondness for traps or puzzles. That I would hear the occasional creak and moan, but that started to realize this is an old home, and they have that tendency towards the noisy.
Against my wishes and Toriel insistence, I was wearing the robe she fitted for me around the house. She had finished the third one when she realized they would need a self-maintaining charm. She said last night that her daughter and son had many friends. Who would come and go at their leisure so being consistently disguised was in my best interest.
"Oh, no. I didn't think anyone would be here! I'll go then," Right behind me that jumped slightly as that saw a ghost pure white with big watery eyes fading out the room!
"wait don't leave! Are you a friend for Asriel or Chara?"
"Yes, Asriel mentioned I could use his Wi-Fi and his computer while he was off at the training camp."
"If you want to use it, I can find float back in my body and leave you be."
"No, you can stay your no bother! Use the computer I insist."
"I still need to bring my body can actually use the computer without it."
"That's not a problem that's fine I'll open the door for you, and we can share the connection that's that. Oh, and I didn't catch your name?"
"Napstablook and thank you. I'll meet you in the living room."
I walked down uncertain ghost with a body what?
I first thing I realize his body is robotic. Not like you'd see in an old movie those androids that looked too fake and hokey to fool anyone. Napstablook in his robot form was human-like in all the ways it counts! A design inspired straight from a Japanese cartoon. He seemed elegant look overall with a top hat to pull the look together. His color said one thing blue.
" I'm sorry if I frighten you! I wasn't sure if he left his computer on or not and I didn't want to go all the way up there and be unable to use his Wi-Fi."
"Why do you need his computer anyway?"
"It's not a big deal but I'm a deejay at a club, and I come here once a month here to get some surface tunes."
"Oh that's great " toriel was not exaggerating this really the only access point outside once I walk out that door of toriel home I'm a sitting duck
"Yeah it's fun I've never met you before today you seem too nice for me to forget your name, please? "
"My name is Frisk DoomFlowers."
"Oh, you're a part of the DoomFlowers family? That explains it! I need your opinion on these song choices at the moment you would have a fresh and untainted. "Napstablook was on a website called ghoulish tunes with a top ten Halloween or monster themed songs.
"See I know enough about the surface to know there are holidays about monsters and making us into the bad guys, but I need another's opinion on the songs to play the next few nights. I'll sprinkle in some chart-toppers from the humans, but I want to know personally, if you would like to hear these songs and give me a take on it.
The first song he played was Monster Mash I recognized instantly. But gave him advice that if he decided he was going to play that song, he should put up the dance moves and if the song came with a video he nodding like my suggestion
"Here's the second,"
I recognize the song instantly, but it was a music video in audio form.
" I think you have there is the extended cut of this song thriller is ten minutes long, so it's a song to a min I movie maybe find the song in a shorter format."
" I like the suggestions humans have many dances moves comes with the territory of freedom and space."
From there we started to chat about of bunch random things he was an easy person to talk to a good listener. I was staring, and I couldn't help it. The robotic ghost was fascinating. He was melancholy but interesting to talk too. He was friendly once his guard lowered, he even mentioned a crush on skeleton monster who frequent the club he works at and about his cousin acting. I was actually engaged while talking to him. I felt like I was talking to a friend I haven't talk to in ages that kind of comfortable.
"Wait that's how I recognized you! I saw you in Mettaton's movie. "
"That's my cousin for you, always remembers the little guy. Oh, I wasn't supposed to say that." The monster's eyes started to water.
"Wait why not? Please don't cry it's okay?" I put my arms around him the robotic shoulder where comfortable
"Well, Mettaton doesn't like telling people he used to be a ghost."
"Why?"
"He's ashamed of that, and that he is a ghost still and he can't shed it like an actor playing a part. Ghost can't emote the way any other monster, can be held or be with others the way other monsters can. We are all magic and our soul there is nothing physical to us. We are seldom seen heard from and often forgotten not even an afterthought. Ghost in a general sense aren't supposed to be famous we are meant to fade away, forgettable and forgotten like I am. "
"You're not forgettable! You're so sweet, you deserve friends and all of the happiness in the world," I said.
"That's sweet of you to say ." Napstablook was blushing and looking anywhere but at me.
We kept talking I hummed an aria absentmindedly, but Napstablook bopped along liking the melody I assumed, but he made no comment about it
We said our goodbyes, but I missed him already something about him felt familiar, but I know we never met. As he left he passed Toriel, who he apologized to for not being able staying.
We had a bit of lengthy discussion about what I talked about with the robotic ghost and how the day was she apologized for not letting me know he would be here. And that it's a good thing I was wearing the hood around the house.
We said our good nights and I went to rest in my guestroom.
Final note: I am so sorry for the shitty song lyrics. I'm kind of rusty with my songwriting. Poetry is something I constantly do, but I haven't made a song in years. The next chapter won't be up for two weeks sorry I know some of you like the change in pace but its a bit longer than this thus needs a longer time to edit.
