Send “Who are YOU?” to meet a Muse from one of my other blogs!

Ring ring... Ring ring... The call was picked up immediately as soon as he saw where he was. Maybe the com would help him know exactly where he is.

*Snake? Are you alright?

“I’m fine. I currently don’t know where I am. Everything is... Digital. I mean, it was before but... This is different.”

*Where you are is in a different area, still run by Command. However, in this realm, he goes by the code name: Blue.

“Blue, huh? Not very original.”

*Well, we wouldn’t be here without him. I wouldn’t stress on it too much.

The flower stays very still — trying his hardest to play dumb and, you know, non-sentient. With mixed results: there are clear smudges of pie filling all over his disk, and even if Toriel waves this one off, it is hard not to notice the glaringly suspicious trace of crumbles that connects him and the pie tin like a yellow brick road.

Ah, but maybe, maybe she will think it is all just a weird coincedence! Maybe! Flowey cannot stiffle a very quiet, very childish nervous giggle. Maybe she is busy, or stressed, or, dunno, in a hurry - maybe she will get away soon and leave him alone with his precious.

Lots of things can change, people can grow and die and then grow some more, but the love for your mother’s pie stays till the end.

He cannot help but try and sneak a little glance at her — just to see if she has fallen for his “stupid simple flower” act — and, unfortunately but not surprisingly, he meets her eyes.

She really was an idiot, wasn’t she? That condescending voice was still present in her head as she saw the RUINS… well, ruined, before her eyes. Sharp vines taking over each wall, crushing with ease, such power terrified Aqua. A thought immediately ran through her mind, though, as she stood there with her hastily-crafted WOODEN SHIELD.

Tori.

She did her best to dodge the attacks of the flora-fauna, then with the remainder of her strength, she FLED. An angry yell left the beast.

WHAT, ARE YOU REALLY AFRAID OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?!

He couldn’t be serious! Best friends don’t do this sort of thing. She just wanted to play in the leaves, but she couldn’t even have that. This thing wanted her to leave the RUINS. Wanted her to die to this… ASGORE. Whoever or whatever that was.

She threw the doors of her HOME open, and thankfully, it looked undisturbed. Likely, Toriel wasn’t even aware of what was happening.

Thank goodness for that.

“T-Toriel… We have to leave the RUINS. Both of us… Now.”

She fell to the ground, gasping for air. Each breath from her sprint there was a chore.

The silence was deafening...

It had been a week since the death of the two royal children, Chara and Asriel. The two were beacons of hope for the underground after monsters were sealed underground oh so little ago. 

The two of them made so many people trust in the future, that humans and monsters could eventually come together again. This only crushed those dreams of many, including Frost.

While Frost was obligated to manage his restaurant to keep it afloat during this time of peril, neither he or most patrons wanted to come. Many monsters were still mourning over their tremendous loss. This resulted in Frost merely waiting behind the bar for hours at a time, in loud silence, staring at empty seats.

Tonight wasn’t any different to him. Only a few families stopped by to get a meal and a single male patron trying to drink their problems away. It was by far more eventful than the prior days, and to Frost, that was a good thing. Perhaps they could get past this tragedy! He couldn’t imagine the pain Toriel was going through though. The poor queen..

They had met once at the wedding and bonded so quickly. She seemed like such a pleasant woman. She didn’t deserve any of this. Not the war, not the loss of her kids, nothing! Now here he was, not paying her a visit or checking in up her. He was ashamed of himself, but Frost didn’t have a clue how to help her. How does one comfort for such a thing?

He shook his head, wiping the thoughts from his mind. With a deep sigh, he expunged all those negative feelings. Now wasn’t the time to guilt trip himself. He had a successful business now! No more family drama. No more surface world tension.

He survived the war and it was time to move on.

But why couldn’t he?..

Why did those thoughts plague his mind every night even years later?..

Aqua had dozed off with a new book set in front of her. She heard the knocking and Toriel’s voice, but could only bring a groan forth in response. She tried her best to raise herself from the slump she was in and.... success!
