Previously: Deos tried to put in a good word for Sans, only to annoy his brother Papyrus, then via his psychometry, he found out more about Frisk's past than he was prepared for. Meanwhile on the surface, an angry Cali fills in Neil, the Light Blue mage, on the message that Deos has left, including where Frisk is, which was overheard by Paula, the Yellow mage. She then stormed off to Deos' Apartment to contact their inside source and find out what Deos has had planned besides what she already knows...
(Deos' Apartment)
Cali quickly enters Deos' apartment using the spare key that she found in the locker that she was directed to via a message on her phone. She still has an angry look on her face, but she's calmer than she was earlier. She opens the drawer and takes out the documents inside it. "Now, Deos...what have you been keeping from us?" She looks at the first page "Uh huh, we were just working on part of the barrier breaking plan earlier..." she then flips through to the next page "Yeah...we want to bring them back, although part of that I wasn't happy about." She then flips to the third page and then her eyes widen, she wasn't expecting this... "Deos, you're either a genius, insane or a complete idiot...at least you have a plan." she then flips to the fourth page and she then her body quakes in terror "No no no no no...you could've waited!" She then puts the documents away and boots up his machine, which has a custom setup that they worked on together, it's one end of the surface / underground communication link that they were able to setup, she activates the link, places a headset on her head and starts talking "Hi, It's Cali...I know that you weren't expecting me to talk to me, but there's been a change of plans, there's something that I need to ask you."
A nerdy female voice was then heard from the headset "H-hey, did I m-miss anything, you wanted to talk to m-me?"
Cali rolled her eyes, she knows that she's been hiding something for some time, but she focuses on the task at hand "Deos is there now in the underground, what's happened so far?"
"O-oh, right, yeah...if he's the g-guy wearing a r-red cloak, he's currently in S-Snowdin and he's w-with a little human and he's met Sans."
Cali looks irritated "Ugh...well, he had it coming, he rushed there quickly and only left me a message on my phone. Can you keep me updated on their progress, at least until he gets to Hotland? I'll be silent for a few minutes while I make something to drink, so tell me when I get back"
"S-sure Cali, I n-need the distraction".
Cali then took the headset off and made herself some tea, she had a strong dislike towards the monsters, but SHE was one she disliked most of all! She was just so...secretive, she was hiding something and not just from her. Why was she afraid to ask about it? Was it because it reminded her of something?...
(Snowdin)
Deos, Frisk, Flowey and an astral-form Toriel have encountered a box with a Tough Glove in it, which was around Frisk's size, so they put it on and put the stick away, but not in the box as Deos knew that they would need it later. Deos didn't talk much after he found out about Frisk's past. not a lot emotionally affects him like that, but when it does...it's plain for all to see.
"That Tough Glove is all for show for that wimp and do you need to cry a little more after..." Flowey said mockingly, he is suddenly lifted magically by an angry Deos.
"Are you going anywhere with this?" This suddenly scared Flowey in a way that no human has ever done.
"N-No, forget I said anything, okay!" Flowey was hoping that this would stop something painful from happening.
"Okay..." He lowered Flowey down slowly and Toriel was nervous.
"Deos, that was uncalled for, I know not who Flowey is this mean, but implying violence wasn't acceptable in front of my child." Deos shooks his head after Toriel spoke, he was still so full of emotion that he forgot that Frisk was watching.
"Sorry about that, there's still some after-effects...as for Flowey, other than certain emotions like anger, hate, sadistic pleasure and few other less helpful ones, he has no emotions. That's one thing that I'm here to remedy, although we need to get through Snowdin and that has its own problems...Frisk, I need you and the others to wait for an amount of time after I've gone ahead to avoid suspicion, don't worry, nothing will attack you on the way there."
"I will trust you, Deos." Toriel said. Frisk smiled at Deos to show that they trusted him as well, Flowey decided not to say anything...They all waited for a time and when they were sure that it was long enough, they followed Deos and saw that he was waiting with Sans and Papyrus, they were approaching those two skeletons mid-conversation.
"SO, AS I WAS SAYING ABOUT UNDYNE..." Said Papyrus, as he and Sans switched between looking at Frisk and at each other going back and forth between Frisk and each other quicker, until finally stopping to look at Frisk and then turning their backs on them. "SANS! OH MY GOD! IS THAT...A HUMAN!?"
Sans didn't look that serious about it, as usual, they both turned to face Frisk "Uhhhh...actually I think that's a rock."
"What does a human look like?" Deos asked, fully getting into character.
"They're like us skeletons, except they have meat on their bones." Sans said, playing along with Deos.
"WAIT...IN FRONT OF THE ROCK LOOKS LIKE A SKELETON WITH MEAT ON THEIR BONES...IS THAT A HUMAN?" Papyrus said quietly.
"It seems that way, unless that's a good disguise...that's unlikely though." Deos replied just as quietly.
Flowey was annoyed "Yeah, this is a human alright, can't you idiots see that?!"
Papyrus ignored the insulting tone and was just excited "SANS, I FINALLY DID IT! UNDYNE WILL...I'M GONNA..."
Flowey was fuming with anger "CAN YOU PLEASE SKIP THE SPEECH BEFORE SMILEY TRASHBAG IS BORED TO SLEEP?!"
Papyrus then regained his composure "WELL, SINCE YOU ASKED NICELY, TALKING FLOWER, I SHALL...'AHEM', HUMAN! YOU SHALL NOT PASS THIS AREA! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL STOP YOU!"
Flowey then switch to sarcasm "Oh no, what are they going to do? (!)"
"I WILL THEN CAPTURE YOU! YOU WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CAPITAL! THEN. THEN! I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT." Papyrus said.
"You get a brain in that skull? (!)" Flowey said in an insulting manner, Frisk then tapped his head with a displeased look on their face. "Ow!"
"IN ANY CASE, CONTINUE...ONLY IF YOU DARE!" Papyrus said in a less then intimidating tone. "NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!" He laughed in his usual way as he ran away and out of sight.
"Well, that went well." Sans said after a pause.
"He's certainly special..." Deos said nervously.
"That's ONE way of putting it." Said Flowey.
"Don't sweat it, I'll keep an eye-socket out for ya." Sans said as he winked...somehow. Deos didn't question that or the unnatural conditions of Snowdin.
"I trust that you will Sans." Toriel said as she and the others continued down the path and then encountered another outpost with a nearby sign that said "Absolutely NO MOVING!".
"There's a member of the Royal Guard nearby, let me deal with this one." Deos said. Toriel and Frisk were unsure what he meant, but Flowey was silently looking forward to it. They walked further down the path and were then stopped by a dog monster known as Doggo, he was wearing a tank-top and Arctic camo pants and was apparently smoking a dog biscuit.
"Did something move? Was it my imagination? I can only see moving things. If something WAS moving...for example, a human..." He gets his knife out "I'll make sure it..." Deos stops him in his tracks with a blast of magic that didn't appear to do any damage, he just felt like sleeping and was snoring in seconds.
Deos explained what he did to the others "Basic sleep spell, a dose that low won't keep him out for long, so we'd better get out of here before he wakes up".
"Agreed Deos, I admit...I would've come out and dealt with him myself, if you hadn't used that spell on him." Toriel said with relief in her voice.
"I know how much of a fiery temper you have." Deos said, which caused Toriel to laugh at that, making Deos shake his head.
"Ugh, can we get out of here already?..." Flowey said with annoyance in his voice.
They decide to comply with what Flowey wanted as Doggo won't be in as good a mood when he wakes up...
What else will Snowdin have in store for them? What other tricks does Deos have up his sleeve? What will Cali and the Order of Seven's inside source talk about while she's kept informed of Deos' progress, find out in Chapter 7: Dogs of LOVE.
