HT/US Skeletons get mugged by a 12 year old. They turn to see the kid running back to a group of very tiny children, handing them the money, and the group trying to run into the alley. These kids are down on their luck but determined to survive, and the 12 year old is the eldest.
Hgh-
I HAVE RISEN FROM THE ASHES IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER ABOUT NOT WRITING!! LETāS HECKING GO, MY TINY TART ARMY!
HT Sans/Axe:Ā Itās probably not too difficult to lift the money off of Axe without even having to go to the trouble of mugging him, but heās not resisting. He would rather not smack a kid around, so he hands over the cash easily enough but does make sure that he tails all the kids for a bit. The eldest child might catch an earful from him about not stealing, but thereās so much good intention and caring behind it that itās hard to have any negative thoughts about it. Axe doesnāt want to see them starving, so heāll do his best to make sure that they either get direct support from the monster community or some other means to get them back in someplace that will help them. If nothing else, he will find monster homes for them to get adopted into so they have a consistent source of food and shelter. This skeleton does not want to see anyone starve; they are no exception.
ālook, you donāt have to stay here, but thereās nothing between you and a hot meal,Ā ācept your pride. can you come get something inside? just for a minute?ā
HT Papyrus/Sweets:Ā While this particular skeleton is muchĀ less likely to just hand over cash, these are literal children who are coming up to him. Sweets has no clue why they would try to attack him, of all the people or monsters to choose, but he does resist slightly. After they end up taking the money off of him, he doesnāt have to walk far to make sure theyāre all okay. Much like his brother, this boi will tail them and find someone to take care of all these children. However, unlike his brother, if no one else is willing, Sweets will immediately take up all the children and adopt them into his house. He wonāt do it without their approval first, but he wants nothing more than to break the stereotype of monsters from under the mountain being mindless. As he works with them, he does the best he can to provide for their every need.Ā
āOf Course, You Donāt HaveĀ To Stay Here, But I Think You Might Find It Preferable To Being In The Streets! Please, For At Least One Night..?ā
US Sans/Blue:Ā This boi does notĀ want people mugging him, so he will hand over money under the pretense of turning in the perpetrators as soon as they least expect it. However, when he discovers that itās children, Blue wonāt be able to bring himself to follow through with it, and he wonāt call any authorities. The children will still get an earful, and most definitely wonāt be able to leave the vicinity until he tells them what he needs to say. Despite his less-than-short speech, Blue really does mean well for the kids and is willing to open up his home to them, at their own pace. Itās offered to them immediately, and he doesnāt want to press too much, but even if they say no, heāll check in on them occasionally. He brings them all manner of healthy, nutritious, and non-perishable snacks to eat, and takes care of them at a distance if they choose.
āWELL, YOU MAY NOT WANT TO STAY WITH ME, BUT THAT IS FINE! ON ONE CONDITION!! YOU MUST MEET ME HERE EACH WEEK FOR FOOD!ā
US Papyrus/Stretch:Ā This is the one skeleton who actually ends up panicking when thereās a knife pulled on him, even though heās only bones. The last time he thought about a knife wielding child... donāt go thereĀ ...well itās best not to dwell on it. The kids might get what little cash he has on his person, but Stretch is exceedinglyĀ cautious about engaging with the children afterwards. Most likely, he will assist them whenever possible from the backlines: giving a tip to a local non-profit here and there, or ādroppingā food at one of their usual spots. It will take a long time for him to warm to them, especially if the oldest is the ringleader and will pull a knife again. Stretch understands why this one does it, but it sets off alarm bells for a reason, and heās not playing with that nonsense. Best for him to keep track of them for a short while without direct contact.Ā
ānah, thereās no need to get too close to them. the eldest is protective, rightfully so, but if we donāt have to cross paths, all the better for us both for now.ā
Thanks for the ask, anon! And thank youĀ to all my followers who, for whatever reason, stuck around long enough for me to try and get my hands back into this!! I donāt know if Iāll be doing a clean sweep of my inbox and starting afresh, or if Iāll just be working through the last couple of asks instead. Weāll find out, and Iāll try to get some more content for you guys!!Ā
