that's not what we usually mean by 'dance with death'

[cherryblooded]

[That certainly did happen. Cherryblod's not the type of person who will judge one person's value as being more than another's, so he can't say whether it was better or worse than the first week. It came as less of a shock, maybe, but even so...

It's not the kind of thing people usually want to go through alone.

So, after he spends some time in the kitchen preparing (with assistance from Bruce), he'll slip some personalized notes under everyone's doors.]

[Name],
If you'd prefer to spend this time alone, that's fine.
If you'd prefer not to, I've made some food and set it out in the dining hall.
Even if you're just hungry and would rather not talk, feel free to come take some.
But if you'd like the company, we're here for you.
-Cherryblod

[Those arriving in the dining hall will find an assortment of food - a fair number of sandwiches and other, actual meal-like options since most people missed a meal or two, but also a goodly number of desserts. There's tea, as well as coffee for those who favor it.]

[holy shit]

You weren't kidding. I would've called the first one kind of nice since it's your home, but New Home. Does he have kids? Tell me he doesn't.

[ratingspoint]

Only one, to my knowledge, though I don't remember much about him. Other than yes, his name was terrible. Asgore's wife - well, his ex-wife now - is named Toriel?

...Their son was named Asriel. Draw your own conclusions.

[captainobnoxious]

... At least he's a good person.

[Names aside, Cherryblod's good people and so is this Asgore guy if they're anything alike.]

Is his former lady any better, do you know? Maybe they balance each other out.

Toriel...?

[Hmmm.]

I don't know her all that well. I would see her once in a while in the ruins, though. My cousin and I used to go there sometimes - they liked it there because there aren't many people.

But from what I remember Toriel is sweet. She's really cute, too.

[captainobnoxious]

What are they? Like, monster-wise. Golems?

[are they fuzzy. maybe they're cat-like, cats are sweet and good people.]

[ratingspoint]

Remind me to draw them for you sometime! They're definitely not golems, though, they have fur.

[So yes, they are fuzzy. You are also talking to someone with no proper frame of reference for nubian goats, so uh.]

[captainobnoxious]

So they are cats then! Cats are good people, bombshell, they're sweet and affectionate and extremely useful in not dying when you're outside the walls.

[... you know, like in all her stories. the people of the future (?) are cat fanatics]

You're lucky to have a pair of them leading you!
