#staying under

Kit!Frisk: Well, yeah. Of course! At least all my friends. If I don't, Alphys will.

[* Later, at the skele-house]

Frisk: and so, yeah. That's where my wizard powers come from.

[* everyone is stunned speechless for a sec]

Undyne : So wait.... you're like literally part Kitsune?

Frisk: That's what the scanner thing said. And I think I always knew my grandpa was a little... different. Now I know why.

Papyrus: THAT IS AMAZING, FRISK! AND YOU STILL GET TO HAVE A STRONG HUMAN SOUL! WOWIE! IT'S NO WONDER YOU GET ALONG SO WELL WITH US, NYEH HEH HEH!

Sans: kinda wild that that's the costume we went with, huh.

Frisk: Yeah... I think I must've known, deep down. When I put on the costume, something about it felt sooo right! And maybe that's why like to wear it so much, even when I don't have to (plus it's cute).

Undyne: Hmm... you might be able to legally claim monster citizenship then... and Asgore will accept just about any excuse not to fight you.

Mettaton: Don't be so sure, darling. He's under a mountain of pressure to get that last SOUL. And their SOUL is human still. I think it is possible to convince the king, but it's not going to be as simple as all that.

Frisk: Wait Mettaton, didn't you say that your scanners saw through my disguise? So wouldn't you have known about my lineage all along?!!

Mettaton: Ohhh yes! I knew! But isn't it more lovely and dramatic when the hero finds things out on their own?

Funny you should say that because I had a comic where Frisk decided to stay underground instead of fighting Asgore and they disguised themselves as a Kitsune, only to discover they were 1/4 Kitsune on their grandpa's side!

I think foxes are neat! And I am fond of magical transformations! But such a thing is impossible in this blog!! But you can have a non canon treat.

[A cold and lonely door in the woods; great for knock-knock jokes]

Sans: no, Frisk hasn't run into Asgore yet. they've been keeping a low profile.

Toriel: Oh good, that is good. I am glad they are doing well. Thank you again Sans, for keeping them safe.

Sans: ;) Snow problem Tori.

Toriel: Hee hee hee! And their education, how is that going?

Sans: they're a bright kid. they pick up magic stuff pretty fast, honestly.

Toriel: Oh! How surprising! ... or perhaps not that surprising. They didn't show any magic when they were with me, but they didn't stay with me very long.... Still, I could tell there was more to them than met the eye.

Sans: heh, you could say that again. they're always doing something unexpected. whelp, i'd love to stay and chat, but i'm late for a siesta.

Toriel: Hee hee, sounds like important business. I had better not keep you any longer. Take care!

Kit!Frisk: Yeah, actually! I think so! I've already been learning magic at monster school and I've noticed that illusions come pretty easily. I thought it was because my grandpa used to show me magic tricks- the human slight of hand kind. But now I know he could have been using real magic illusions. (Though I think he was also good at slight of hand). Not sure about the shapeshifting though, haven't really tried.

Alphys: As far as I know, Kitsunes are master shapeshifters, however it might come easily to them because their bodies are made of magic. Frisk, your body is made mostly of physical matter, so changing it's shape will be much harder. I believe it is possible, but it may be painful. Or it might not hurt at all. Most of what I know is about wizards with wolf monster ancestry- werewolves (and the stories, though all interesting, have many various levels of accuracy)

Undyne: OH! OH! Maybe it's like Steven Universe! His body is part human, part gem magic so while he can't shapeshift like Amethyst can, he does have the ability. And like, it doesn't hurt him per say, but it can get wild if he holds it too long or loses his focus.

Papyrus: I THINK YOU'VE ALREADY DONE IT, FRISK.

Everyone: ????!!

Papyrus: REALLY NOW, I THOGHT YOU GUYS WERE MORE OBSERVANT THAN THAT. NORMALLY FRISK'S EYES ARE BROWN, RIGHT FRISK?

Frisk: Right?

Papyrus: HOWEVER, SOMETIMES WHEN THEY GET EXITED THEIR EYES CHANGE TO BE MORE FOX- LIKE!

Frisk: What, like, for real?!

Sans: impressive observation, considering they squint most of the time.

Alphys: Nani?! I- I think I saw that but I Thought they were cosplay contacts!

Frisk: No, I don't have any contacts (though maybe I need glasses...) let me see...

* Frisk finds a mirror and opens their eyes wide. Everyone notes brown eyes. Frisk then closes their eyes for a moment, concentrating. And then they open them. Everyone gasps at their bright orange eyes!

Frisk: Whoah... that's so cool! And it doesn't hurt at all! Maybe I can try like... other stuff...

Alphys: Remember to take it easy... we don't know the limits of your body yet. I think Undyne is right. Some small transformations might be ok for you, but bigger ones might cause problems.

[Hence forth I will continue "staying under" in written form, with occasional drawings. >_>; as much as I love drawing this Frisk in particular I just... have too much going on BUT I still want to do this! After ACAFs "Fox Poof" I got inspired to work on this again. ]

Frisk: ;3 oh, believe me I have been working on getting good at pranks from the moment I decided to disguise myself as a kitsune (it's practically a requirement)! And now that I know my ancestry, I'm even more motivated! I've been getting lessons in pranking from Sans. His methods are...

Chara: By example ;)

Frisk: heh heh... yeah... ^-^; I've gotten pranked a lot since coming here! But, I've also learned a lot about detecting pranks and what makes a good prank, so I guess it's working.

Alphys: Wait... were you the one that put sugar in my salt shaker???

Frisk: I found out I was a wizard when I came here! I always did funny little unexplainable things when i was little, and now I know why! I think my Grandpa tried to show me magic before, with like bullet patterned birthday cards and different magic tricks. But I thought he was just a talented magician. He always got excited when I showed him one of my "tricks." O.O I looked it up and apparently one of Kitsunes' specialties is illusion! So that explains a lot and I'm kinda mad at myself for not realizing it sooner. I've been practicing general magic at school- basic stuff like sheild and healing. I study Kitsune stuff at home with books about kitsunes from the library. but all my friends help me understand it and practice.
