Chapter 18: Criminal Time
Ebott Ville, 1 year 7 months after the release of monsters and magic back in the world.
Oh lords I completely forgot about Eye bone and Chester!
They are exactly where I left them… I think…
"Wilson!"
"I´m so sorry guys!" I twirl with them in my arms.
I sneak into Toriel´s surface house but there is no one inside, I write a quick note from the tower of yellow post its from the table.
'We need to talk'
Ok, straight to the point, concise and self explanatory.
A master piece! If I say so myself.
I stick it in the middle of… This black thing…
What is it?
**It´s a Smart T.V.**
What! How come?
**Same as how phones evolved**
Oh…
Does this new world of wonders need an old school gentleman scientist such as myself…?
**Yes it does, no mortal being has unlimited access to the information this world has to offer**
I… I can´t answer to that…
"Where are we going?" Eye bone asks excitedly.
"To a cave" I answer quickly, before someone sees me, and move to Asriel´s room.
"ACK!"
A strained sound comes from beside me and I catch a yellow figure that burrows in the ground.
What was that?
**The question is who**
Who was it?
**Flowey the flower**
What did he wanted here?
**Asriel/Flowey is worried over Frisk, he thinks Frisk will die**
Oh… poor him…
The fever is not life threatening but monsters don´t know a single thing about human illnesses. Or he is projecting Chara´s death with Frisk´s poor health.
I leave them both right in front of Frisk´s bed so if he wakes up he will see familiar faces…
"Be careful Wilson…" Eye bone comments. And I give and Ok sign.
I move again from the old ex monarch underground house to the nearest convenience store.
No one sees me as I appear from an alley.
Let´s see.
"Good day sir and Welcome to MTT N´ SHOP"
An orange cat monster with a strained smile greets me and offers me a shopping cart; I thank him and go on mission mode.
Chicken, cilantro, tomato, onion, chayote, cabbage, carrots, celery, corn, small potatoes…
What else? What else?
**yucca for the chicken soup, rice accompaniment too, and pediatric medicine for Frisk**
Oh yes!
I fill the cart and wait my turn to pay for the groceries; there is a small TV set in one side of the waiting area, news channel on.
"SHOCKING NEWS" message appears in big red flashing letters on the tiny screen. What now?
"Ambassador of all monsters, Frisk Dreemurr, has been kidnapped this morning from King Asgore's wife, Toriel Dreemurr house in the - address-" Oh I thought they were divorced already, guess the separation is not official yet. Everyone who is not me gasps loudly, a purple spider monster behind me, who looks like a taller purple version of Webber, let go of her groceries from two of her arms but quickly catch them with another set of arms "The disconsolate adoptive mother has not yet made an official announcement over the incident but the report of the captain of the monster unit, Undyne, in the police station says what follows" She starts to read from a paper. Will they point at me?
**Yes**
"Thirty or so years old man, white skin, blue eyes, English accent and ethnic…" It´s finally my turn and I try to hand my purchase quickly hand the money. "Witnesses claim the most outstanding feature is his hair that is shaped like the W letter" she reads the paper again
"Yes his hair is shaped like a W. The culprit goes by the name of Wilson Percival Higgsbury"
God dang it.
Ten or more people are looking directly at me now.
"Security!" The human casher who helped me with my purchase shouts. Guess he was paying attention to the news too…
The spider woman throws a purple spider web like attack at me and the groceries bag wrapping me in goopy substance I try to move from there…
The attack does not dissipate and now I´m a purple cocoon...
I lose the stability from my tangled feet and fall hard in the floor, there is no time for this so
I simply move away and end up in front of two startled individuals.
Or should I say. Should not be sentient and/or animated objects.
Also known as Flowey the Flower and Eye Bone.
And sweet old Chester. He licks at my untangled face as they watch how I pitifully and disgracefully struggle with my binds.
"Oh hello there" I huff as dignified as a tied up man can be.
"What the hell!" Flowey eyes are wide and disbelieving.
"Language child"
At Flowey´s shout the forgotten spirit peers from one side.
**"What happened Wilson?! Why did you kidnap Frisk?! "
"I will answer later darling" That was meant for Chara and she nodded remembering that Asriel souless self does not know about her persistent self in this reality.
Of course Flowey does not know this and misunderstands.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING DARLING YOU DISGUSTING FUCK"
Pellets round me and then…
FIRE!
He is not very bright is he?
**He is a ten year old with a thousands or so years souless experienced mind, of course he is not the brightest thing alive**
The magic bullets that were meant to harm me, strike the purple spider web and I´m now free, fine and dandy.
Freedom at last!
Oh Maxwell, you would laugh at me for sure.
"Thank you very much for your assistance Flowey" I say while dusting my dumb outfit.
"Oh this is not over, you will explain to me, if you are a doctor, why haven't you cured Frisk!" Says Flowey after the shock of what he attack didn't do.
"Oh lords" Eye Bone says and closes his eye.
That is a topic that I never want to speak of ever again. My shadows grab the offending flower as he shouts obscenities at me, I don´t mind the swear words.
"Asriel"
At this the child goes very still.
"First rule" I say while emptying a pot from the hall. "Never call me a doctor again" I put him not so kindly in the pot "Second rule" I grab fistful after fistful of the emptied contents back to the pot alongside him "Mind your language" I put him on the ground "Third rule" I go and check on the sick child "If you attack me again, I will attack you" Frisk fever is going down, thanks god "And finally" I look directly to his eyes "I know what you have done to this child so don't play pretend with me."
Flowey´s petals are down simulating wilt, expression devoid of his initial bite.
Good.
Notes: Flowey regret his life's decisions... Just a little
