That...was an odd fall, Malnis thought as she rolled up to sit - or, at least, tried, seeing as something had crashed on top of her.
Something had broken her fall, she thought as she got off the pile. She gawked at what she had before her as the other...beings...rolled off of each other, all staring at one another.
The first two to catch her eye looked like Inklings however did not have tentacles. One was floating off the ground by a good foot or so with narrowed red eyes and a long, green sweater with yellow stripes. The other that stood next to that one was squinting with brown hair, a blue sweater with purple stripes, and yellow boots.
Next was two puffball like creatures. They were both small, about a foot high - excluding one of the two's wings - and were very odd looking. They both had large eyes, one set excited and the other worried and darting about.
The pink one was smiling at all of the beings present. It's sapphire eyes glittered as it rocked on it's red, oval shaped feet. Two faint lines of blush sat next to it's eyes near it's stubby paws. For some reason Malnis came under the impression that this one was a guy.
The other puffball was a light blue color, standing on the heels of it's purple oval feet. It's eyes were odd - a dark blue sclera with a lighter purple iris and pupil. A tail of a single stream of clear bubbles stuck out and arched from her lower back, hardly able to be seen by her large wings which slightly brushed against the floor. Again, Malnis could somehow tell this one was a female.
The final being was most definitely the oddest. It was a floating triangle with a single eye in the middle - near the top, actually. A bow tie was below it's eye and a hat floated a mere inch above it's head. Four sets of limbs stretched off it's body - all thin and black. Two arms and two feet. It didn't seem to realize that Malnis, the puffballs, and the Inkling-like beings could see it (well, Malnis supposed they could see it) seeing as it started to slowly float away.
She felt weird being the only Inkling present. She actually had her Aereospay on her right now - not visible of course - and had considered splatting the four others on the spot but stopped when the pink puffball spoke.
"Uh...hello? Hi? Hi hi hi?"
"I think they get the gist Kirby now LET'S GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE THEY KILL US!" The blue puffball screeched, her wings flaring.
"I...uh...don't have any intentions of killing anyone…" The blue sweater Inkling-like being spoke up, waving a hand. Malnis couldn't think of a good color to describe the color of the hand that poked out so she simply went with 'undefined but possibly yellow'.
Malnis smiled slightly. Okay, they weren't fresh and they weren't Inklings, but it was clear enough to see that the majority had no intentions of hurting each other. "Me either - unless ya'll start a fight, sque." She couldn't help the Inkling term roll off the tongue - good thing she read up on some other languages in order to speak to this beings. "I'm Malnis! Malnis the Inkling!"
The pink puffball smiled. "I'm Kirby of the Stars, but feel free to call me Kirby!"
The blue puffball stopped backing up. "I'm...Bubua…"
The two Inkling-like creatures then spoke. "I'm Frisk, and this is my friend Chara."
The triangle still had not spoken and seemed to flinch when the five turned to look at him. "NAMES BILL!" He then said, before 'frowning'. "AND HOW CAN YOU ALL SEE ME?"
"Might just be how fresh I am." Malnis joked, earning a giggle from 'Kirby'. "Seriously, though, no need to practically yell, braf. This is a cave and I have pretty sensitive hearing." She added, hands on her hips.
Frisk looked as if...they (Malnis still couldn't figure out a gender for them and decided to go with that term) were trying to hold back their laughter before looking up. They seemed to consider something for a few moments before pointing upwards. "So...how did we all fall down the same hole if we never saw each other?" They asked.
"It could have been the baby rock demons…" Bubua murmured, pupils dialating. "Theyre gonna come and kill us all…"
Kirby snorted slightly, nudging her. "Chillax, Bubua! They probably can't get you down here!" He insisted with a swift nod of his head.
"DO YOU NOT SEE HOW MANY ROCKS ARE DOWN HERE THEY COULD BE BIDING THEIR TIME TO STRIKE!" Bubua shrilled the reply, wrapping her wings tightly around herself.
Malnis let out a small groan, turning to Kirby. "Is...is she always like this?" The Inkling couldn't help but ask.
Kirby only shrugged in response as Frisk pointed towards a door down the dimly lit hallways. "Maybe we should head down there and see if there is a way out." They suggested, earning a nod from the Inkling.
"That sounds like a good plan to me!"
With that the five started walking down the hallway (Kirby dragged Bubua and Chara dragged Bill to be more exact) unknowingly being filled with DETERMINATION.
Yea, there was no save point there before meeting (cough) everyones favorite flower (cough) but it just worked. Anywho, FIRST REAL CHAPTER AHAHA
