Temp (chosen as the root word for temporal, temporary as she does not join you to stay in castle town) looks like a human, with medium length brown hair and beige skin (? I think that how you’d describe it? But if you want a better idea I generally imagine my Ocs with similar skin color to me and I am Mexican, but a little on the paler side) freckles, and brown eyes that look goldish

Anyways i took some ideas as to how Ralsei and Noelle look for her outfit as my idea for her is basically time mage/prince vibes, so she’s got a dark grey longsleeve with occasional white stripes in sets of 2 on the elbow area, at the end of the shirt and a short one diagonally across the shirt.

And a blue cloak with yellow (gold ig?) detailings: it connects at the front of her neck and is mostly on her back like a cape. This also means that alongside all other chapters I make with a cape, it can be easily fetched when she needs to and can be adjusted to be flesh against her back.(Edna mode taught me well) Her pants are a simple black color and same goes with the shoes but they also have white for the sole. Also, she has many, many, MANY clocks scattered about. A wristwatch ofc but she’s also got pocket watches, clocks all over her shop- hell she wears a clock mask! (I almost forgot that fact…)

And yes, my indulgent OC does have a shadow crystal as an earring. It wasn’t what I originally wanted but I got the idea and I couldn’t NOT use it. She is still mentally stable but by GOD she’s as mentally ill as me so close enough.

Now it’s time for her shop dialogue! This is reformatted from my notes and based of the Deltarune Fandom pages shop section for the shopkeepers. There’s no ‘canon’ chapter for her shop but everything is stated and dialogue-ed based off Ch4-5 items but stronger so a theoretical chapter 6-7 would prolly be where she’d be if she did exist. There is theoretical weird route dialogue (she hates you)

The shopkeeper greets you.

“…” (Asking again, Weird Route)

[Name and Face]

“Names are usually important… just call me ‘Temp’ okay?” “And my face? Well it’s not that important so there’s no point showing it.”

“…” (Asking again, Weird Route)

[Fight] (After fighting)

“It was very entertaining! Thank you for your time” “That crystal I gave you? Just a parting gift from me, think nothing of it.” “Giving it up is no Numbers off my clock, maybe that cat friend of yours can find some other use for it.” (Extra shadow crystal if you missed one, last line only said if you have all of them)

[Fight] (asking to fight, weird route)

“I will not feed your violence. You will get nothing from me.”

* Leave

“Thank you for your time.”

“I rember you are Snowgraves” (/j)

“You’ve taken up enough time.” (Weird Route)

I love the weird route so that part of why I wrote that dialogue but it’s not the only reason. Every room has some kind of clock, including in laptops. Of course she’d know if one of her clocks froze, and of course she would hate that. Time does not give you what you want when you try to bend or freeze it, its meant to go and go and go, so why would she stop to fight You when you try so hard to impede that?

I do also have to fight dialogue. It’s a spar basically, she sets a timer (idk how long would be good tbh, get back to me on that) and you are meant to either last to the end of the hourglass or you can use your ACTs to remove time off of the clock. Once it strikes 0, where she’ll do her final attack and then become SPARE-able. The clock only drops when you’re don’t choosing your actions so you can’t stall it with that.

* When fighting (can’t in Weird Route)

“…Ready?”

“You reacted so fast there, like you’d done that part before.” “I wonder how many times…” (my idea is that she used parts of Sans’ first attack pattern cause I think that’s be funny)(you are filled with now incorrect muscle memory for this fight)

[MISS] “Just a fun little spar, no need to try to hurt me like that!” (When trying to attack)

*Fight ends in [xx:xx]! (Only passes when in active combat)

“Time marches forward.”

“Tick, tick, tick.”

“A blast to the past!”

“And back to the present”

>Check

A PRINCE of TIME spars against you… when did she come from?

🕔 AT, Irrelevant DF. Doesn’t really matter since it’s only a spar anyways, maybe shaking things up can help move this faster.

>Shake

Kris shakes the hourglass, only X seconds are shaken off the clock!

>Shake All

Everyone shakes the hourglass, X seconds are shaken off the clock!

>Toss

Susie throws Kris/Ralsei at the glass, X seconds are thrown off the time!

[S-ACT]

Susie eats some sand from the glass! (How?? It’s a sealed glass??) X seconds removed!

Susie does an impressive trick! Temp removes some time in her honor! X seconds removed!

[Wind-Up]

Susie taunts Temp! Her attacks are longer and stronger!

[R-ACT]

Ralsei politely asks Temp to remove some time! X seconds removed!

Ralsei looks particularly fluffy! Temp takes a few seconds to let the cuteness aggression pass, X seconds removed!

[Wind-Down]

Ralsei soothes Temp! Her attacks are weaker and shorter!

>(Fun gang member) eats a (Sundial cake/Hourglass potion) Temp attacks are slower this turn! “Thank you for your business :)”

[On defeat]

“Time flies huh? You guys are strong, heroes indeed!” “I’m sure whatever Fate throws at you, you’ll find a way.”

“Wow, you ran my glass empty! And time marched accordingly!” “You’ve impressed me, how bout a free item? A little discount? Whatever you prefer! “…You’re clearly skilled, but remember you don’t always have to follow the march beat for beat.”

*Clock Trophy and shop discount unlocked!

(After beating Temp’s fight without artificially removing time from the glass)
