The year was...
2020... Something.
I had honesty lost count. Not used to having to keep track yet.
The kid's done good so far. Any signs of a reset have... disappeared. Any I see is just my imagination it seems.
Is it really true? Is this really all over? Are monsters free?
Am I free...?
Papyrus told me to get out and see the world not long after the Barrier was destroyed. So I went to a nearby hotel and spent the night there. It was nice while the night lasted; good breakfast.
Frisk, our "Ambassador to the Monster Kingdom", has really come through for us these past few years. The humans freed up a part of their city for monsters to live in until we could settle our own little township. Hopefully that will be soon. No offense to the humans, but, they're terrible city planners. It'll be nice to get out of the city and live in a sparse town with some elbow room.
The more I think about the future, the more I can't believe there is one. When I see everyone's smiling faces in the sunlight, I can hardly believe it's true. Sometimes it feels like I'm daydreaming, which, I still do from time to time, but I'm pretty awake most of the day nowadays, heh.
We're actually free. On the surface. In the sun. Under real starry skies.. I didn't get my hopes up for so long, thinking it would all be reset at any time, but Frisk... That kid is determined to see this through. Could they even do it I wonder? Reset everything back again? The reset process was tied to the underground and the Barrier, which is gone now. What would happen if a reset was caused on the surface?
Could the entire world be reset..?
I hope Frisk never tries to find out.
Me and Papyrus went out recently to check out a plot of land that was given to monsters to settle in. It was near Mount Ebott, making some monsters unsure about moving there. I can understand why. But, it's a decent place to call home, hopefully not literally this time. It's got a river with a waterfall, open skies, a forest full of resources, and a sweet mountain view. If an uneasy one for some.
Papyrus was hoping to move our house to the surface, but, I convinced him building a new one would be more practical. He could design it however he wanted that way I told him. When he asked me for ideas, I told him whatever suits him suits me. Putting any effort into anything was still on the bottom of my list, because even after all these years, I'm still a lazy bones. Guess I could start doing more but... That requires effort.
But that's what my cool brother is for. He's a real go-getter. He got a group of humans and monsters together who are great at building stuff. Which is good, because I can hardly lift a nail, much less a hammer. They plan to start building a few weeks from now. Can't wait to watch it come together. And see the two races working together for the first time in, well, 1,000 years I suppose.
Needless to say, when Frisk got word of this, they started drawing up plans for house designs. I didn't have the heart, or the guts, to tell them that the designs had already been finalized. That's not to say they couldn't use some of Frisk's ideas I'm sure. Frisk had some neat ideas for a park, and for a look out point on Ebott Mountain for sight seeing.
I bet the stars look great from up there...
Some days after the building plans were settled, I found myself at the entrance to the underground. I came here everyday just to prove to myself the Barrier was gone. However, something else was pulling me back here. It felt like there was something we forgot.
And I don't mean that weed Flowey.
Every day I was drawn back here with that feeling. Today though, I was going back in. I wasn't sure what for, but I was going to find out.
Maybe the guilt of never picking up that sock was getting to me?
Nah.
