UT month origins

< Day 6 < ★ Day 7 ★ > Day 8 >

Hey, sorry this is a day late! Maybe I'll post two in one day, or maybe I'll keep posting them all one day late, or maybe I'll just skip a day eventually. The world is my oyster! An oyster that I left out a bit too long and now tastes funny! Anyway, I'm setting this story in an AU I've had bouncing around in the back of my head for a while. It's really more of an alternate timeline than an alternate universe but I'm going to call it an AU because it's this fandom. Maybe I'll post the stories I've written eventually instead of just sharing them with my friends lmao. Let's call this a teaser I guess? Without further ado, day 7, an "Undertale: New Guard" story! With art??? Shout out to spriter's resource!

A scarfed mouse and a horned figure wearing a cloth mask walked through Snowdin Forest. The mouse came to a stop at a particularly large tree, pointing up into the branches.

"Here it is! It's, um, got good thick branches, and it's pretty central, so you can get to and from anywhere as soon as possible"

The horned figure let out a whistle.

"Gotta say, I'm impressed! I knew you were pretty familiar with the forest, but I didn't know you knew every tree by heart."

The mouse tugged at an ear.

"W-well, I did have to look around here yesterday to remember exactly where it was. When you told me your idea I wanted to check if it was a good candidate. Have you, um, told the captain yet?"

"Nah, I was going to make it a surprise. If I asked him about a treehouse outpost he'd probably say it's a frivolous waste of resources. If it's already done it'd be a waste not to use it."

The mouse tugged her ears harder.

"But, umm, isn't that a b-bit... dishonest?"

"It'll be fiiiine. He complains bitterly about our dinky old guard outposts every day anyway. What do you think about Hammocks?"

She paused at that.

"That does sound pretty fun"

"Right?"

Random thing I recently realized. Nacarat Jester’s file name is Red Demon. Kinda curious how that started. Interesting bit, however, is when I searched Nacarat, I found this, “Mid 18th century: from French, perhaps from Spanish and Portuguese nacarado ‘orange-red in colour’ (referring to the colour of the shell of the mollusc that yields mother-of-pearl), from nacar ‘nacre’.”

...

So probably not as fascinating a tale for Red Demon’s other name, but still kinda interesting.

Side note, Scarf Mouse just had a change of one word. Originally titled ‘Wrap Mouse’. As for Onion-san... I made them creepy.

And that concludes Sunday’s early post at about 2:30 AM. Tomorrow- er... Today is going to be rather busy, so I wanted to ensure I didn’t miss posting. ^w^

Have a good day/night, peeps.
