Alphys jumped in surprise, making me chuckle inwardly, a little amused.
"Smooth move."
"It's fine, Alph," I said, calming the monster while ignoring the demon. "I wanted to know about the project I asked you to do, do you think it'll be possible?"
"It might be possible… assuming the human can project magic outside of their body." I grinned at this, turning to Frisk.
"Hey Frisk, show the doctor here what you can do," I said, making a shield off to the side for them to demonstrate on.
Frisk ignited their magic, causing the air to shimmer and glow in various shades of red. "Alright, now try making a smaller version of your stick appear and send it at the shield, it should go there if you will it to," I said.
Frisk summoned a stick, about the tenth of the size of the one they normally carry. It shot towards the shield, dissipating harmlessly. "That good enough for 'projecting magic outside of their body', Alph?" I asked, grinning confidently at her.
Her jaw was agape at the little magic prodigy I had brought with me. I felt a swell of pride in me, since I was the one that taught said prodigy how to do that in the first place.
"Wow, I thought humans lost magic a long time ago, and it only exists now in fiction for them." Alphys said, wide eyed.
"Well, maybe it just got… more rare?" I suggested, shrugging. "Whatever, what matters is that the human here can use magic, and with the machine, they can use it to help us break the barrier,"
"Well that is a possibility… Anyway I'm not sure when I'll be able to get this done, I'd say about four days, a week at most." Alphys said, looking thoughtful.
"Great," I said with a grin. "We'll let you get to it, c'mon Frisk," I said, turning and grabbing Frisks hand, leading them out of the room and back to my own.
"So, what do you want to do now?" I asked.
"What is there to do around here other than spar?"
"Well, admittedly, not much," I started, frowning. "I guess we could play some old games Alph managed to save,"
"Got any fighting games?"
"Got one called 'Fighter's history'," I told them, leading them to the gaming room.
"What kind of name is that for a game?"
"A stupid one," I said, shrugging. "Decent enough game though."
"Can I play?" Asked the very incorporeal ghost with puppy dog eyes.
"How would you… actually…" I trailed off, looking very thoughtful.
"By possessing Frisk, how else?"
"You might not need to, murder ghost, Alph made a controller for Mettaton before she made the body, just incase he wanted to play, let's see if it works for you," I told them, sitting down in front of the TV in the game room, turning the console on and opening a drawer, taking out two controllers.
"Yours is in there, I can't touch it, ghost controller," I said to murder ghost.
Chara ran over to the drawer and grabbed the controller. They had a huge grin on their face, probably excited to be able to do something finally. I set the system up, starting the game.
"Okay, you two ready?" I asked, smirking.
We first started with me against Frisk. At first they weren't very good. Eventually, however they started getting good, so I started to try, eventually managing to win in the end.
"Yeah!" I said, smirking.
Frisk gave me a smile and a thumbs up, approving of my success.
"Alright my turn,"
"I am gonna wreck you," I bragged to the ghost, grinning at them.
Murder ghost was more aggressive than Frisk. They pushed me back to the edge of the stage before I could retaliate. I smirked, upping my game when I got down to one hit left, dodging them so skillfully I was like Sans, before getting them down to zero, doing a execution on them.
"Ugh, could you play a character other that Mizoguchi? You keep on winning with him."
"Fine, I'll stop using my least used character," I said, picking Lee. Chara chose Marstorus. It was a hard fought battle, and I almost lost, but Chara messed up a combo, letting me do a execution on them and win.
Chara then decided they had enough. They threw the controller at the screen, and it bounced back and hit them in the head knocking them out. I erupted into laughter at this, holding my sides.
Me and Frisk continued playing for a little bit. Frisk managed to get in a few wins, although my experience with the game allowed me to win most of the time. Eventually murder ghost recovered from the hit, but rather than getting up, decided to remain lying on the ground, watching us play.
"Wow Frisk, you're the boss!" Murder ghost exclaimed. Frisk gave murder ghost a thumbs up and then yawned.
I then yawned in response to Frisks yawn. "So want to grab something to eat before going to sleep?" I asked, stretching a little bit.
"What is there to eat here?"
"Mostly instant noodles," I said.
"Sounds good."
"I'll go set some up." I told them, going and putting some in the microwave. I waited impatiently, before the thing finally dinged, taking the noodles back to Frisk, one for me and one for them.
"None for me?" Murder ghost sarcastically asked.
"I figured you could possess Frisk half through theirs and eat that way," I told them, shrugging and starting to eat my food.
"It's fine I only really care about chocolate,"
"I'll get you some when we get you a body," I promised, grinning to them.
Murder ghost smiled at that. Me and Frisk started eating the noodles. After we finished we headed back to my room to go to sleep.
As I plopped myself down on the floor a loud clang was heard. Murder ghost then decided to ask a very important question. "Are you seriously going to go to sleep with your armor on?"
"Oh, whoops, thanks for reminding me, I'm so used to wearing it I barely notice it's there," I said, taking the armour off and putting it away before flopping back down on the floor and going to sleep.
