I have this many candles on my cake
22
I am of this gender and species
Male, Fire Monster
Unknown to a lot of monsters, is the fact that my species of monster has a fire rock body, under all those flames. It's used as a medium to retain direct heat of our fire soul. The only way to see the rock body is to toss water on us, until our flames go out. I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to kill me. Remember, my soul needs to remain burning. Water and fire don't mix, obviously. Don't worry about me burning you, if you're friendly towards me. I take a magic pill called "Donsoap", which cause my flames not to burn things and just feels like warm steam to the skin, without wetness. Now if you make me angry or I feel threaten by you, your bacon is toasted if you touch me.
Look what I can do
Make delicious burgers and fries. My specialties are, strawberry daiquiris, just don't ask me to serve you water. I'm the proud owner of a tavern in Snowdin called Grillby's. I'm not egotistical; the place is named after my father, the previous owner before he retired. Around my family, I'm referred to as Jr., but my closes friends call me, Grillbz.
Beside cooking and bartending I can also create weapons out of fire. Unlike my body that is on Donsoap, my fire weapons can burn you slightly or kill you. It depends how strong I make my weapons. I have been known to break up a bar fight or two, with a fire ball, when my customers have gotten out of hand or to throw a few spark fire at a certain skeleton, for not pay his tab.
I'm a different person, you see I'm
Not like other fire monsters, I don't have a short temper or have the impulse to deliberately start fires. Peace and quiet at times, are preferred. I'm aware, taverns are not quiet, but it's enjoyable to be around others and admire their happiness and enjoyment in life, even if I'm not included. If someone having a bad day and needs someone talk to, I'm all ears. That's why I love bartending, it's always lively at Grillby's and you get to meet new people. At the end of the day, I can go home to quietness.
In my past this was me
A quite shy little flame, that was picked on by other fire monster kids, just because I was not a pyromaniac. Admiring things for what they are is better than destroying it. Why does anyone get enjoyment by destroying things? The kids in Hotland, think they're hot stuff, so they do whatever they want, as long as they keep out of the adult monster's way. Father told me, the reason I'm different, is because I have an "old soul". I wasn't born with a destructive flame, which fire monsters loss in adulthood. In order for me to escape the bullying, my father moved us to Snowdin, and opened Grillby's tavern. To my father, it became a place for monsters to hang out, drink, and eat their sorrows away. He was always willing to listen and help those who needed someone to talk to. He taught me that, sometimes the best thing you can do is just listen with an opened mind. No one in life should carry their hardships on their own. When you're willing to listen to someone's story, it does help loosen those chains bound around their soul.
One day while my father was busy working, I was quietly behind the tavern, building a snowman, by myself. Suddenly, I felt a snowball, hit the flames on top of my head. There were two skeleton boys, when I turned around, looking at me with a puzzling expression. The shorter one was gripping a snowball tightly in his hand. Turns out, they assumed I had caught on fire and tried to put it out. Lucky for me, it was just one ball of snow and melted during impacted. After a few apologies from them, I learned the shorter one was named Sans and the taller one was his little brother, Papyrus. We had become good friends and spent our childhood together.
Watching your friend go through depression, is a sad and heart wrenching thing to watch. My best friend in the world, Sans, lost his father. When I tried asking him what happened, the only reply he gave, was that he had disappeared and they were out of ketchup. I didn't understand what he meant by the last part. Sans did have this giant red stain on his white shirt. I attempted to cheer him up by telling him that his father would return someday. Without their father around, they were looked upon, as orphans. Lucky for me, my father was willing to become the Skelton Brother's foster father, which made me their older brother for a while. This helped Sans a little with the burden, of taking care of Papyrus.
When I turned sixteen, I started helping with family business by serving food and bussing tables. On my first morning shift, I met who I had assumed to be the "River Person", who ran the river boat that went all over the Underground. They're an exceedingly, tiny monster in a black robe that never spoke a word to anyone. Just went up to my father, holding out a gloved hand. I watched in puzzlement as my father handed them a to-go bag and they left quietly. A bit later, I found out this was a weekly thing that happen. My father always took their call. They pay over the phone and pick it up later. One day, I don't know why, I tossed my apron off, and chased after them. After I caught up, they were talking to a taller monster, which was wearing the same robe. Turns out, the taller one was the real "River Person". I spoke to them and was told, the smaller one's name, is Arial and she needed to get home. Lucky for me, Arial decided to stay and talk to me while waiting for the next boat. We went back to the tavern and talked about things we like. When I asked her about her parents, she told me she didn't have any, but she wasn't lonely because she lived with an older female monster, which took care of her. I suggested that's who they would call mom. From then on, whenever she came in, we'd hang out at the bar and talk. The strange thing about her was, she never took off her hood or told me much about her family identity. She'd change the subject every time I ask about why she hid her whole body, most importantly, her face. My father then told me I needed to respect her wish. So I did...for a awhile.
When I wasn't working or hanging out with Arial, I was with Sans and Papyrus. Sans has this cool power he calls "Shortcuts," which lets him and those he touches, transport anywhere in the Underground. So, one day I requested to go to Waterfall, against my father's wishes. He was worried about my flame going out. So I lied to Sans and told him it was alright. Before going I put on special waterproof raincoat, gloves and boots to protect my body. The first place Sans took us was filled with echo flowers, which we ended up recording puns and silly childish things. The next place we went had telescopes, which the brothers used to look at shiny gem pattern on the craven walls. Papyrus mention that he couldn't wait for his father to return and take them above ground to see real stars. I watched as Sans sighed and placed a hand on his little brother pulling into a hug before returning back to telescope. After a while, it got boring so I walked off without the bone brothers. While walking around, I realized why my father didn't want me to come here. Sure it was a beautiful, quiet place, but I had to be careful not to slip on the wet grass or slippery rocks and fall in deep puddles of water. Most of my body was hidden under my rain gear, but my face was exposed. One wrong move and it would be lights out for me. Now look who has the puns.
Back home, I would wear lots of layers and a scarf to protect my body from the cold snow. In Waterfall, a scarf would just get soaked too quickly for me to react. My fear of death washed away as I heard music playing. Getting closer to the sound, I realized it was a piano and someone singing with it. In small opened cavern, Arial was sitting at a piano, trying to figure out what keys to press next to fit with her song. Standing there in awe, I listened to her for a while before taking a seat next to her to help. Ariel jumped a little when I started to play. I didn't realize she wouldn't know it was me in a rain coat until I took off my glove, and placed my fiery hand over her black glove. She seemed to relax a little, and went back to singing. When the song ended, I asked, where she learned it. It was a melody, someone dear to her, used to sing when she couldn't sleep as small child. I wanted ask her more, but my phone went off. It was Sans screaming at the top of his lungs, wondering where I went. Papyrus was crying in the background. I was a bit tense because Sans had never yelled at me before. A bit scary when he's angry. I told him my location and agreed to wait for them here. When I put the phone down, Arial was gone. I wanted go look for her, but remembered my promise to stay there and didn't want to upset the Skeleton Brothers, more. So I waited. When we finally got home, Sans started to cry, blue tears, and hugged me tightly. This was the only time in my life I've ever seen him cry. He thought when I disappeared; he'd never see me again, like his father. I told him I'm never leaving Snowdin, it was my home.
I'm not a kid anymore, so my carefree adventures are over. Now my days are spent working, at Grillby's. Last year, when Sans turned eighteen, he moved out of my father's place, and rented a house for him and Papyrus to live. Sans dropped out of high school in order to get a job to help pay for the bills and Papyrus works too when he's not in school. I think they both work as guards for sentry post. Arial's face is still a mystery to me, but it's alright, her voice is all I need.
Shhhh... I'm
Bisexual
I have a heart and it's set on
Arial, but not sure she feels the same about me. Now there are rumors about Sans and I dating, but it's false. We are just really good friends…..with benefits. Papyrus doesn't know this but Sans is…a slut. Mostly happens when he gets drunk or down in the dumps. So, noticing he's in this lustful mood, I ask him to wait for me to close up shop. I'd rather he take his frustration out on me, than go home with a stranger. Sans is sexy, but like I said, I like Arial. I've known her for six years now, but I have rock that needs scratching at times. Sans is the only one I can trust, and understands I just want to…fuc….fool around. He's also aware of me have a crush, on one of my customers, but he doesn't know who they are. Sans tries asking me, but I wouldn't tell him. So he ends up hearing about rumors of me flirting with the "River Person". For now I'll let him believe that, because Arial told me to keep her a secret. I hope she is not in danger or anything. My wish someday is for Arial to completely open up and…..be….my….girlfriend. If that day ever comes, I'll promise myself to stop fooling around with Sans and just go back to being normal friends.
