21 breaking in the new room
The blankets were snug, sleep was on the horizon, and yet there was one problem.
There were whisperings behind the door.
"She's all alone, just go ask her!" … it sounded suspiciously like Enyo.
The door yanked open to reveal Enyo and several other smaller monsters peering in beside her… The ferret monster, Alcina practically fell into the room and stumbled to catch herself, "Wha- hey hi sorry we were just-"
"Want to have a sleep over?" Enyo finished.
It took a moment to process, and even though she was perfectly fine with being by herself, Frisk found herself saying: "Suuure?"
"Awesome, because we were going to have one anyways!" Enyo waltzed in.
Then it seemed all the girls of the orphanage were piled in the room at her feet.
"Hi!"
"Hello!"
"I'll have the corner."
"There isn't really much room, so I'll go back to my bed after a while." A opossum said.
"You could fit in a drawer, Sozo!" another opossum?
"Talyn, I would prefer not to be mistaken for a sweater and trapped again, thank you very much."
Enyo sat on her spread blanket with an elbow on her pillow to prop up her head. "Its really plain in here. Need a rug or something. Arie!"
A red merecat with 6 limbs jumped as she peaked into the room. "I haven't even come in yet, Enyo!"
"I heard you." -Enyo
"Through this noise?!" - Merecat
"Have you got anything for Frisks' room?" - Enyo
"Oh I'm fine, you don't have to-" Frisk waved her hands apologetically. She gawked at the sight of all who had gathered. Am I ever going to get to sleep tonight?
Arie grinned shyly. "Don't worry about it, I have a few extra things," she said as she left.
Under the shadow of the dresser to the right of the room were two opossum with big white eyes, bushy ears, thin black furry tails. They were watching a small game screen intently. Is that a PSP?
"Flash step!" -Talyn
"Wrong game! Not even!" -Sozo
"Dodge then!" -Talyn
"Agh- I did! He still got me!" -Sozo
"Oooooh! Click O! circle circle he's gonna-" - Talyn
The one holding the game drooped in defeat and they both sat in silence.
"Isn't that the fifteenth time?" - Talyn
"You've been counting too, huh?"
"He's scarier than Golbez." - Talyn
"Are you fighting Jecht?" Frisk looked ready to pounce.
The opossum exchanged glances. "Yeah?" -Sozo
She held out a hand. "Want some help?"
Without a word they handed over the psp and got up on the bed beside her.
"Level 20? Should be enough. What moves have you got equipped? Oh- boy. Gimme a sec. See, you should equip this one because it'll reduce the damage you take when he dashes at you and then this one for piercing…"
Five minutes later and all the monsters were gathered up on Frisks bed as she blocked, countered, and attacked the quick enemy.
"How can she even see what's going on?" -Sozo
"Them reflexes tho." - Talyn
Sozo was slack jawed.
Soon the victor, Frisk handed the console back to Sozo with a smile.
"I will never wash this thing again." -Sozo
"Please get the smudges off the screen," Frisk laughed. "Hope that helped you out."
"It did! I've been level grinding for two days!" -Sozo
"You don't need to really do that. You just need to check out your equipment and check the numbers to see if they improve your character enough."
"I never really liked looking at that stuff because it looked complicated…" -Sozo
"Its not really. You just pay attention to… here let me see. Just look at these two right here. Those are the most important."
"… Oh. Okay. I can remember that. Thanks!" -Sozo
"I found something, but its kinda pink…" Arie returned to the room with a sort of rolled up scroll. She let it unroll and it revealed some tribal looking designs. It looked like it told a story. "Its been on my shelf for a while, there's no more room to hang it…" she looked up at everyone piled on Frisks' bed. "What'd I miss?"
"Frisk kicked butt." -Enyo
Sozo waved the psp and hissed in an awe: "She plays video games!"
Arie rolled her eyes, but she was smiling. "They'll love you forever now. What have you done?"
Frisk shrugged smugly. "I don't think I'll ever be able to hide liking to play video games."
"We'd never ask you to. Where do you want this?"-Arie
"Oh, I don't really know…" -Frisk
"Hmm… How about over your bed beside the window? Just to keep it out of the way of any furniture or anything like that." She folded up on the floor cross legged. "Tara, do you know where the nails are?" -Arie
"Yep!" a green furred skunk like monster with pink stripes jumped off the bed.
"Could you get one? And the hammer?" -Arie
"On my way!" Tara rushed out of the room.
"Hey, Sarah, knock on the wall for me over there?" Enyo called to a squirrel with four fangs.
"Sure!"
Several knocks later, Enyo stopped her, "Keep your hand there."
Tara was back a moment later.
"Finally!" Sarah exclaimed.
Talyn quirked her nose skeptically at the squirrel. "You've barely been standing for a second."
"I don't like sitting still!"
"You've been watching video games though." -Talyn
"I was occupied with something interesting! Now I'm just touching a wall!" -Sarah
Several others got off the bed so Arie could climb up. "Move over, I got it." She held the nail to the wall, made a slight tap with the small hammer, and hung the tapestry. "Done," Arie got down. "Taraaaaa, could you take this back for me?"
"I guessssss," Tara took the hammer and lumbered sleepily out of the room.
Arie made herself comfy next to Enyo, and sighed. "Hows it going guys? Tired yet?" she looked between everyone.
"Just a little," Sozo said through a yawn.
Three others yawned at that.
"Why is it so contagious!?" a fox yawned. "Just thinking about it!"
Enyo's jaw tightened and then she said: "Because you've got to eat your green beans."
"That makes absolutely no sense at all-" the fox yawned again. "ooookay, I'm going to bed."
"The secret would be revealed to you if only you ate your green beans!" Enyo called after the fox as she shuffled out of the room.
A soft plop shook the bed as Frisk fell back on her pillows.
"Sleepy?" -Talyn
"Only because Enyo had be running around the park today," Frisk smirked.
"Whoa there, I didn't tell you to outrun me."
"No way." Arie was blank faced.
"Ha, really! She did! She was a bird flying past me!"
"I have got to see this," gives Frisk a mirthful look.
"Oh no," Frisk sat herself up, "I'm sleeping in tomorrow."
"Aaaaaaaw," Enyo groaned, "But I was going to take you shoppinnnggg oh well…"
The room was quiet until five seconds later and it was rippling with laughter.
"Seriously, I wanted to pick out some things for you." -Enyo
Unable to really help staring, Frisk just did. "You mean it? Really?"
"I do!" -Enyo
"Isn't it supposed to snow tomorrow?"
"It snows everyday here," Enyo smiled.
"Are there clothes my size?" -Frisk
"They have clothes everyone's size," Arie shrugged. "But there's a tailor there who can tweak things if we need. No biggie."
"Sweet."
A knock at the door made everyone jump. Rachel leaned in, shooting looks at all of them. "Yer a bit loud."
"Sorry! We were just breaking in Frisks new room." -Enyo
"I can see that," Rachel glanced around at the mess of blankets and pillows. "Y'all need some sleep, here? Or you won't wake up in time for breakfast."
"We will," Enyo waved. "Night."
"G'night," Rachel shut the door quietly.
Enyo lowered her voice. "So who wants to play some more Disidia and see who drops tired first?"
