#telltale notes

The Destroyer and Ink actually work really well together! [even if the Destroyer is unaware of this].

"Storyless" here refers to people without an AU to go home to, a story, and Ink's targets are exclusive to the storyless. Most of the storyless come from torn apart by the Destroyer itself, and to help them, Ink offers them a place among his palette.

They work well together in the way that they don't make the conscious choice to do so, but the consequence of the actions of the former positively influences the latter.

SO! A compromise has been achieved; y'all will my babbling and some art later

Our core 3 members: Outertale Sans, Cosmo; his universe is all about photography across the stars, think like Flock Around but with constellations and spatial phenomenons instead of birds. The monsters of his universe would give out quests for photographing certain stars, planets, asteroids or constellations, sometimes some monsters challenge the player by asking for multiple things in one photo!

While his universe shouldn't have any death, Cosmo's branch somehow divulged into a genocide run that didn't meet completion. Cosmo is one of the few survivors along with his Alphys. He founded the Starlings to help humans and monsters across the Multiverse from losing their homes too.

Sewing with Muffet! Muffet, Thimble; her world was all about the peaceful plush residence Muffet teaching the player about sewing, step by step similar to Cooking Mama. It was all about sewing blankets, clothing, even dolls!

But then the Destroyer came, and her whole world was torn apart by the seams.

She joined the Starlings to get any thread of her friends back, ready to fight thread and needle for them. At least she knows where Undyne is, even if she's not in the best of places.

Dancetale Sans, Dancer; his home is all about the rhythm! His world would function similarly to Friday night funkin or maybe Guitar Hero, having the player play beat by beat in order to progress through the fight. I'd imagined it plays almost similar to the Omega flower fight [or even like a geometry dash level is some cases] where there are no pauses and you better hope you click the right button when it's on screen while you stay on beat with music.

Unlike with Cosmos universe, his peaceful game stays peaceful and with the lack of Players, helps Cosmo in his crusade to help, even if he feels under prepare for the job sometimes, even with the power boosts he can give to the Starlings.

Secondary Starlings; these Starlings that are definitely important, but I may not write/draw them as often:

Underswap: Stitch Together-3 Papyrus, Rust; feeling like his home is a shell of what used to be, he joins the Starlings to pushed down the feelings of losing everyone he cares about, of his friends, his brother. He isn't to pleased to be working with their killer and a funhouse version of his brother.

Undermixed: Stitch Together-26 Sans, Mix; his world is the most the same as your run of the mill RPG [well, as run of the mill something Undertale can get] but this world has a twist! It's two a player world! Bring along a friend and enjoy the underground with... minor complications of not everything merging correctly.

Any monsters that were dead before the merge didn't come back. This wouldn't be a problem if both Players completed pacifist runs, but neither did; instead both were in the process of completing neutral runs, with Stripe [Chara-3] having finished a No Mercy run.

It still hurts Mix sometimes when he catches Rust [Papyrus-3] looking at him with pain painting in his face.

Underswap: Stitch Together-3 Chara, Stripe; Their guilt of the dust on their hands pushes them to be a better person, not just the people they've hurt but those they could help too. Their fear still holds them; they can feel their hand tremble as it tries to reach a weapon. But with their friends and reluctant coworker, they're sure they'll make it

Hello again! And yes. It's the same eye as back then, but it loses it's magic overtime and needs to be replenished. Horror doesn't have his own magic so he needs to rely on others to replenish his eye. Normally his brother would do this but...

1. Who's the leader of the Starlings?

2.How did the pallette worked together?

3.How does StoryTeller vials works exactly?

4.Do you plan on continuing the comic panel with Dream and Nightmare or was it it's own thing? (To be honest I like both)

5.How is Error in this world?

6. Did Ink and Nightmare ever fought or it's more like friends bullying eachother.

7. Where did that Toriel come from?

8. Actually how did the teams form?

....

*gives cookies* thank you.

Rubs my hands together like an evil fly >:)

1. That would be Cosmo! This post briefly mentions it in Cos' second paragraph.

2. and 3. It's kind of showen how the vials work here but I'll give a better description here.

A person's soul is put into the cap of the vial, the magic then drips down into the container of the vial, where it is then stored until use. This could be for fighting, consumption, or company. The soul is not destroyed unless the cap is shattered, even if the container itself is.

These bottled souls keep some of their personalities, but their are a shell of their former selves.

Both the Starlings and Nightfalls are trying to discover a way to bring the person back; neither group has succeeded.

4. That particular comic is complete, but I do have plans to make more of them eventually. Some will include both Nightmare and Dream. But that comic is connected to Telltale's multiverse.

6. Ink thinks of it like friends bullying each other; Nightmare is trying to kill him.

7. That Toriel isn't from any particular place. She could have been from a Swap or maybe a Undertale run; Ink can't remember. He does remember that she was the ruler of her Underground, but it's not like that matters anymore, her story's been wiped clean.

And even if you didn't mention Muffet, I'm still going to talk about her a bit. She was from a Farmtale timeline before it was destroyed.

8. This one might be a little long:

Starlings; Cosmo wanted stop others from losing their homes. His team works closely with the Omega timeline, moving refugees from collapsing or highly corrupted AUs.

Nightfalls; it was an accident at first. Horror walked right through his door without an ounce of sight to his name. After a quick meal, Horror told him about how his world was torn apart and pitied him enough to let him stay for the night, then two, then three... he hasn't stopped collecting strays since.

Ink's Pallette; Ink used to work alone before, the Destroyer wasn't hard to keep up with before. But now, its seemingly lost all kind of restraint as it tears and tears and tears until it collapses out of exhaustion. You'd think for something as old as it would know its limits better.

So you see, it's not his fault! He was out of options.

So, out of options, he just kinda... started bottling people up. Only people without stories of course! Ink wouldn't want to take someone only for the whole story to get messed up. No, Ink just borrows the soul of the Destroyer's victims, the storyless. They need help, and he helped them as they help him.

5. Not good.

Some, like Horror not being part of the main gang anymore, aren't all too shocking; with Nightmare not taking residence in Farmtale at the time, Horror would have found the cabin completely abandoned and taken resident there instead [and likely would have been blind for far far longer before stumbling across the farmers down the cliff like in the original timeline].

"Let me tell you a story. About a boy, his brother, and a monster."

Our three main characters: Dream, Nightmare... and Nightmare [we'll call this version Mare for clarity's sake]. This one line is made to tell you a lot about this story, about who's telling it and who they deem important. Dream, the boy, is the important one, with Nightmare being deemed so unimportant he's just labeled as "his brother," and not with Dream {e.i. "Let me tell you a story. About two boys and a monster."}

"Their tree held fruit like no other, Golden Apples that could chase away negativity with a single bite. And in one day, a monster stole it all away."

The knowledge that the Tree actually bore two different kinds of fruit have been lost to time just like Dream's name. It tell the listener what the Golden Apples are and it was special, maybe even why Mare wanted it; stealing away all joy and not chase him away.

"a monster stole it all away." it is of course referring to the Golden Apples themselves, but it's also referring to Nightmare and how Mare stole him away.

"When the boys fought the beast, the monster slayed the youngest in a single strike, his brother near behind."

"fought" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, seeing how Nightmare is referred to have died very quickly. This is probably one of the most truthful sentences in the story though, since Nightmare did fall first, becoming the monster told in the story.

Even with the Golden child entombed, the king of Nightmares still awaits his return, still patrolling the wastelands of his bloodshed to have the brothers reunite once more.

The name of the forgotten boy ended up being claimed by the monster that killed an entire village, the Tree, and turning his brother to stone.

Nightmare's name still persists to this day, but at what cost?

still patrolling the wastelands of his bloodshed to have the brothers reunite once more. Only when the boy's golden blood pours, will the king have his claim.

Wanted to write something like I did for the Starling but for the Nightfalls since exploring their individual stories are always very fun.

The core four members: Dreamtale, Nightmare; once a boy that call a Tree and his brother home, now wanders the Multiverse in solitude. Drifting from place to place never fully taking root, never forming deep connections with the human and monsters he comes across, the one that don't label him as a boogeyman at least. He has stuck his roots in a few AUs; creating an entire castle out of his magic when negativity of the War of Human and Monster became too much, overflowing to the point it was leaking out of his sockets, drowning him in his own magic.

But now, he has firmly planted his roots and surrounds himself people he cares for. He's still not as open as he was as a child, never will be again, but he's felt better now then he had in centuries.

Horrortale Sans, Horror; starvation was the only thing he knew for a long time. Sacrificing any bit of food he got to his brother, lying to him the he ate already.

It was a normal day, hunger clung to the bodies of every monster in the underground. What wasn't normal was Sans' hand fell through the table. Wasn't just the table either, trees weren't real, snow piles were fake, it almost felt like nothing was real anymore.

And then he watched someone fall through the floor. The scream was quick, it barely had time to start before it was gone.

Then the ceiling cracked open, pure white splintering the ceiling as something staticky crawled through.

The screams were loud. Monsters were turning to dust left and right. He grabbed his brother and ran and ran and ran until they to slipped through the cracks of the world, only to meet a little skeleton with cyan painting his face and body.

And then he lost even more.

Something New, Killer; dawg this boy got nothin'! Horror took all the lore!

Dusttale Sans, Dust; once a regular Undertale world, the player in Dust's world was a genocide speedrunner, doing the same route over and over again.

The old runs of the player are long gone now. Gone was the player exterminating the underground faster and faster til they had almost perfected it, and yet, they still tried to go faster. To beat their old time and barely watch the life left Sans' eyes before they leave him to dust in the last corridor.

He didn't give them anymore chances.

Honorable mentions for Dust's brother. Papyrus might not appear too much but I still love him <3

Unaware that they're affiliated:

Farmtale Sans and Papyrus; set in a world were the war between monsters and humans never happened, this universe is a fairly peaceful one. These two live near the little town of Evergreen near the base of Mount Ebott, they've made quite the life for themselves with their crops.

These two live in a world like Stardew Valley were planting crops, tending to farm animals, fishing, running in the mines, and socializing with the village folk are all the rage. It's a simple life that the two love.

1. Can I give Error a pair of headphones? He seems overstimulated.

2. Are the Nightfalls and Starlings on good terms?

3. How are the Nightfalls aus doing? (since most of them have pretty tragic ends)

4. Will the humans be mention (I.E my favorite Aliza)

5. Are the pallets going to get better?

6. I didn't really understand Underseams that much. I think I just need a visual?

(For the fic I am currently writing, who as agricultural powers? Amelia eats trash for a reason.)

1. You can try to give the Destroyer some headphones. But the instability of it's code might make it difficult.

2. They are not. While the Nightfall don't typically intend to hurt people they come across, they are known for pillaging resources from other worlds or implanting negativity in incredibly positive AUs so it can fester. Both of these don't help the negative rumors that already surrounded them, especially when some Starlings feel like they've been personally wronged by someone in the Nightfalls

3. I'm guessing you mean the worlds that they left behind?

Dreamtale; it's probably fairing the best of the bunch, given it's sustaining life normally and by all accounts it seems perfectly normal. The only notable thing is the monster covered in a black tar that patrols to eliminate by the old roots of a long forgotten tree.

Something New; it's mostly okay. Killer reset his world to the start, before all the death. It's like it never happened!... But Papyrus gets worried whenever Sans doesn't call for too long... which is often unfortunately. Killer can't handle the sound of his voice, it's too much for him most days.

Dusttale; but nobody came.

Horrortale; destroyed.

4. I really want them to! I have two different Underswap Chara planned in the story and one on Ink's Palette [although I don't have a solid plan for them yet]. So yes, some humans will be mention.

5. Only if Ink let's them go.

6. I don't have an AU name Underseams? You could be misremembering Undermixed, a Swap AU variant based off of Stringalink Outswaped AU [it's a really fun AU], or maybe Sewing with Muffet? An AU based off of the game Cooking Mama but with sewing instead of cooking. I'll need more information to answer this properly.
