I was in a version of waterfall and someone kinda appeared. I thought I just hadn’t smelled them somehow but Smidge says no, they just appeared. They said their name is Indigo, and told me that I could come with them if I needed a place to stay, so I wouldn’t have to keep running and hiding.

I bit them. I don’t feel like getting babied. Smidge said I should at least go there and have someone look at some of my cuts. I said okay but if they’re annoying I’m still gonna bite them.

Indigo gave me this thing to talk at, so I would have what people who can write would use as a journal. I said it’s dumb, but Smidge says it’s a good idea, so I guess I’ll try. Also I like the text to speech trying to say funny words. Hablooblooblesnuf

The person who helped me with my cut says her name is Kat. Also that the reason the spots on my head are itchy is because I’m starting to grow horns just a lil. I told her that’s dumb. She said yeah, but let me touch her horns so I know what she was talking about. She stayed with momma Toriel for a bit too, she says, she says that’s where our bodies got the kind of “blueprint” for traits to give us when we start to be less human. Same with Indigo, and like 4 other people I haven’t met yet. She says that kinda makes her my sister, if I want it to. I’ve had people try to act like my mom before, but other than Smidge no siblings. It’s kinda nice, I guess I can give it a try

There are other people living here than me and my kind of sibs. Like Stitches and Variable, or as I like to call them, good advice dad and bad advice dad. Good advice dad says I don’t gotta prowl around all the time. Bad advice dad said to shoosh and that I was clearly honing my skills to become a mighty hunter. I said yes I am the mighty hunter because I am. They also gave me a gift, they were like “this is a chew toy” and I was like “like for dogs??” And they were like “do you want us to take it back” and I was like “NO, you GAVE it to me, it’s MINE now.”

Also my teeth itch.

Smidge told me there’s a door at the side of the living room I hadn’t explored yet, so I went and looked. It leads down to the basement, I think. It definitely has down steps. It smells funny there, like machine oil and spiders. The lady down there said if I broke anything she was kicking me out. I looked in the direction I think her face was in and slowly pushed something off the table. She started laughing, even though Smidge says that was mean. She gave me something called a “taser” and told me to go wreak havoc. Indigo took it away before too long but I think I did a good job

There’s another person who sleeps in the basement, her name is Kelpie. She asked if I like card tricks. I said yeah but I can’t see the cards. She taught me how to juggle instead of the card tricks, that part was fun

Log 7

HOLY HECK THERE’S A KITTY HERE FUCK YEAH

Log 8

There’s also apparently someone who owns the kitty her name is Pyra and she lives in a lantern. She’s in charge of letting people into the house and sometimes not letting people into the house. She told me I had jam on my cheek. I said to shush because it’s kitty time

Log 9

Kat says they’re not my sister anymore, and that they’re gonna be my sibling instead now. I asked why, and they said it makes them more happy. I asked if that means I can’t steal their stuff and make them chase me down for it anymore. They said that wasn’t allowed in the first place. I stole their bag of fruit snacks

Log 10

There are new people here, Indigo says their names are Timber and Sprout, and to let them settle in for a bit before I mess with them. I asked why they seemed nervous. Indigo said they had been running for a long time. I helped set up a greenhouse for them, they like it a lot. They let me feed the carnivorous plants. I got bit once or twice, which was fun. It HORRIFIED Kat and Smidge though, it was funny

Log 11

I like Timber and Sprout. They teach me cool things like what things you can eat and what things can eat you. Sprout taught me to make a thing that’ll make people fall asleep. Timber said that was a bad idea. We all agreed with Timber

Log 12

The basement lady is having trouble with a project, her name is Ara by the way. She said she just couldn’t get their coding quite right, and that she was worried about them running into things. I told her that I run into things all the time, and that I’m still the best thing ever. She said that was true, and let me and Smidge help find extra circuit boards

Log 13

I fell down the stairs today. it was thrilling

Log 14

I went out with Kelpie to help get extra supplies for Ara. She says that Ara’s her girlfriend, and that’s why she sleeps in the basement with her. I told her yuck. She laughed and told me that Ara also made her leg for her, and knocked on it so it made a clang clang sound. I asked how it doesn’t do squeaky things like door hinges do. She says she has to oil it so it doesn’t

Log 15

I was looking at stuff in the greenhouse today, mostly the carnivorous plants, my favorite one is Steve. Sprout told me that he and Timber were happy to have me around so often and I was like “YEAH, no DUH, I’m great.” Then he told me I was like a daughter to them

...I bit him and ran back into the house.

Log 16

Kat started crying today. I didn’t get it, I didn’t know what to do. Indigo just held their hands and took them to a room that was darker and quieter and had comfy things. They said they had something called sensory overload, a bit like I do when there are too many sounds and smells. I don’t like Kat being upset. I left some cookies and juice outside the door for when they feel better

Log 17

I had a magic lesson thing today. I already kinda know how to do fire stuffs a bit but I wanna learn more things. I finally summoned my *own* attack, an axe. Indigo was proud of me. Smidge seemed numbly shellshocked

Log 18

my teef itch, and so do my ears. it's weird. Smidge says parts of my hair are turning white. I said that happens with old people and I'm, like, smal. he said not that way

Log 19

the cat absorbed one of my cool rocks. I told him that was rude

Log 20

Smidge pointed out today that I said I was gonna stay one night and that it's been more than that now. I told him to shoosh, and that I do what I want. he said no no, it's a good thing that we've found a place to live. Huh. I guess I do technically live here now. it's... weird

Huh
