WEEK 1

[Awaken.

Fifteen strangers have been gathered to the Depths.

When the strangers awaken, they will feel nauseous in their stomachs. No doubt confused. Maybe a little sick, Perhaps, even terrified. And certainly, there is a good reason for it - they are not where they were before. If they had powers back where they came from, they seem to be all gone. And it appears that someone has left...guidelines for them. All of them addressed to a specific Title.

Their Title. Somehow, each person knows, upon seeing this, this is their Title, even if it seems to make no sense whatsoever. And its clear that whoever wrote these things knew it as well. Who was it?

Its uncertain. So far, there seems to be no one else save for them, and those who dare to venture out of their rooms - save, for some reason, the individuals in rooms 1, 8 and 7 - in this hot and stuffy place. No...'intercessor' to be seen yet, certainly. No outward signs that there's anyone else aside from the people with 'Titles'.


So, Titled: welcome.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

[Because oatmeal with dino eggs > cooler than old boring oatmeal!!!

I mean he would eat it if it weren't with the eggys but]

REALLY??? I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE HUMANS KEPT THEM IN ZOOS AND STUFF???

[socialhacktivist]

Nope. Dead.

[Futaba shrugged.]

But I guess there are some pretty rare animals in zoos that you wouldn't see normally.

[But back to the important thing here-- debunking that oatmeal--]

Anyway. Humans don't eat eggs whole either.

[defriendestration]

TH-THEN!...THE BABY DINOS THAT GOT STUCK IN MY OATMEAL...THEY...THEY DIDN'T GET PAST THE BARRIER?? THEY AREN'T SAFELY BACK WITH THEIR MAMAS ON THE SURFACE????

THEY...THEY...THEY WEREN'T...

[Distressed skeleton NYEH!!]

[socialhacktivist]

Those... never existed. Like I said, it's probably just some sugary confection they tossed in to make it more "fun". It's just a marketing ploy to get kids to want to buy their oatmeal.

[If only they knew that they'd be making a (grown???) skeleton cry over their silly marketing plan.]

[defriendestration]

......................................

OH. OH COURSE. NYEH....HEH HEH........

[He may not have tear ducts but he sure as heck has a heart and it is breaking for those poor babies that never were......]

[socialhacktivist]

[Did... did she upset the skeleton?








She did.


Dammit.]

...or at least that's how it is where I'm from. But we don't have talking skeletons either so... who knows. Maybe it's different where you come from.

[Did she crack? Yes she did.]

[defriendestration]

[Papyrus lights up as Futaba speaks in the manner one lights up on Christmas morning.

Like. Genuinely happy.]

REALLY???? THEN... WHEN I GET TO THE SURFACE ONE DAY.....!!!

[He can visit the babies and and and!!!]

[socialhacktivist]

[...that face is way too happy for her to crush. Geez. Who knew something as small as that would bring so much joy.

Still. That's interesting...]

You wanna visit the human world?

[defriendestration]

OF COURSE!! IT'S ONLY THE DREAM OF EVERY MONSTER IN THE UNDERGROUND TO BE FREE AND ON THE SURFACE AND DO ALL THE FUN AND COOL THINGS WE CAN'T DO BECAUSE WE'RE TRAPPED BEHIND A BARRIER!!

[socialhacktivist]

[...were there Shadows out there that were like this too?]

Well, I don't know where we are right now, but you might get your chance yet. If not, well... maybe we'll find a way yet.

[Most of them came from different places after all. Something out there should make it possible.]

[defriendestration]

YES! YES!! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL SURELY SEE THE DINOS WITH THEIR MAMAS ON THE SURFACE!!

[socialhacktivist]

So... what's the Underground like, anyway?

[If this guy is any indication of what monsters in his world are like.... she wondered why humans hadn't been able to live peacefully with them.

Honestly, it was probably the reason that humans couldn't live peacefully together.]

[defriendestration]

OH, WELL, IT'S DARK AND GLOOMY AND OUR ONLY SOURCES OF WHAT LIFE'S LIKE ON THE SURFACE IS FROM THE GARBAGE THEY THROW DOWN INTO THE GARBAGE PIT!

SO, IT COULD BE WORSE! BUT IT COULD BE BETTER. AT LEAST WE ALL HAVE HOPE WE CAN GET BACK ONE DAY!
