Instructions

STORY The pink cat (here on out referred to as Chara) entered the underground when she'd fallen into a hole. The first thing (person? monster?) she'd met had been a flower. She wasn't quite sure what to make of it. It seemed....sad? It cheered up fairly quickly when it had met her, though. That was good. They'd talked for a while, him explaining that the monsters (most looked like cats on two legs, with some exceptions like him and somebody named Muffet who was apparently a spider) would sometimes attack, but most didn't really want to kill her. They wanted to play, or get something, or get her attention. Some just wanted a friend. He also explained about LOVE and EXP. To get LOVE and EXP, you had to kill people, which you really shouldn't do. After he explained all of that, she went on her way, with a stick. She really wasn't sure what to do with the stick, and ended up just using it for a makeshift toy. She soon came across a silver-ish monster standing at the doorway of a house. "Hello, child. I have been expecting you." She said, turning around. "Why don't you come in?" Chara nodded. "My name is Toriel, and I am the caretaker of the ruins." - Chara couldn't remember the last time she'd seen a house like this. It was amazing. The only thing off was the pictures. There were pictures all over the house of a cat that looked like her, and a silver cat. She asked Toriel who they were. "Ah, the silver cat is named Asriel. The cat that looks like you is my adopted daughter, Frisk." She frowned. "Was. Sorry. Neither one is alive." Shaking her head, she continued. "The orange monster is my former husband, Asgore. And then there's me, obviously." Chara nodded, wondering how the cats had died, before deciding it was none of her business. - She left the ruins, to Toriel's displeasure. She wanted to save everyone. And so she needed to go. - MONTHS LATER Chara sat in her room in the New Home on the surface. Things were going fairly well. The cats had adjusted to the monsters. There was something missing. She hadn't told anyone about what had happened before she'd moved in here. The flower.... ....the talking flower was Asriel. She wasn't sure what had happened to him, only that it was along the lines of 'betrayal' and 'cats'. ....she wondered why he trusted her, if the cats had killed him. She also kinda wondered how he was still alive. Well, that was a question for another day. Today, she was going to try and save him. After all, she'd promised to save EVERYONE from the underground. She wasn't stopping because of some silly thing like rules. - When she got back to the underground, she found Flow-no, ASRIEL, standing right where she'd left him. He looked up at her. "....you came back? Why?" She shrugged. "....i made a promise to myself. i wanted to save everyone. and i wanted to save you." She said quietly. He nodded. "....not sure how you're gonna do that. I don't have a SOUL or anything...." "....i don't know either. all i know is that i'm gonna save you." He sighed. "You'd need a time machine for that...." "....no i wouldn't." He looked up, surprised. "What?" "....you still have a soul in there. otherwise i'd be dead where i stand." He frowned. "I don't think I do....it shattered...." Chara tilted her head. "....shattered? i've never seen a soul do that before...." "Never?" "never. i've seen a soul break, but never shatter. d'ya think it might have something to do with your death? maybe you kept a shard or something?" He shrugged. "I dunno. I never really thought about it." Chara grinned. "it's worth a try." - Two hours later, they had Asriel back. They also had a dead flower that they didn't know what to do with. They ended up just leaving it there. "So, what are we going to do now? I can't go up to the surface." "why not?" "....it's a long story, Chara." "we've got time." "....fine. I guess I'll tell you....if you promise never to tell anyone else." "i promise." "I guess it all started when Toriel - or Mom, I guess I should call her that - adopted Frisk...." - Another two hours later, Asriel finished up. "I guess my point is everybody up there hates me." "they can't all hate you...." "....I guess not." "you should come with me." "....I don't want to see her...." "i won't let her hurt you." Asriel nodded. "....ok. I'll come with you." They headed for the surface. - She'd been hurt when Toriel had yelled at her. She'd been hurt worse when she'd gotten in Toriel's way. She'd gotten in her way to protect Asriel. And then everyone started ganging up on them. So she told Asriel to run. She put a barrier up, and ran after him. - She caught up with him. "why'd they do that?" "....I told you they hate me. I'm a freak." "you're not. you're a person." "....the world begs to differ." She nodded. "but the world isn't in charge of you." "....true." - They hunted them down. She still didn't know where Asriel was. All she knew is that she wanted R E V E N G E.
