Week 3.

[trustharder]

WEEK 3 Another week has passed; two more Survivors are gone. Pearl and Caren both had someone to fight for, someone worth killing for; perhaps it's for the best to hope that somehow they've found peace despite not being able to collect on the Kingmaker's incentive. Saturday is given to regrouping and sleep; there aren't any bodies to be found on Sunday morning. That doesn't mean the night passed easily, though - it seems another piece of your personal puzzle may have fallen into place while you slept... Following that spiral staircase up to the second floor will reveal something strange; those stairs definitely lead far higher than you remember, up to a previously inaccessible third floor. Go ahead and explore as much as you like; consider it your reward for a job well done. SURVIVORS REMAINING: 23

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Well...I'm not pleased about it either, darling. But individually their odds are just as good as anyone else's.

[this is gonna suck.]

[cherryblooded]

Of course they are.

...But it's not as though I could kill someone of my own choice. If I did that, I'd just be dooming either myself or the people I care for here to death anyway. And I'm not quite far gone enough to sacrifice myself yet.

[So. That's not even on the table.]

[ratingspoint]

...Good to know, actually.

[And that's...he's going to leave that there, apparently.]

It's not as though we need to decide right now, anyway.

[cherryblooded]

Right. We still have time to come up with... anything else.

[He sighs, then decides to talk about - anything else, probably. Upon spotting the poster...]

Is that what you looked like before?

[ratingspoint]

[...Thank you for the topic change, holy shit; he seems visibly relieved at it, really.]

Correct! That's the original body I was in - it wasn't ideal as far as I was concerned, but the audience loved it, and honestly so did I.

I definitely prefer how I look now! But that one was pretty attractive, too.

[cherryblooded]

I'm sure you'd be charming in any body, honestly. But that one's pretty cute.

[...look this is a man who is married to an actual lobster, of course he can call a rectangle cute.]

[ratingspoint]

All of the Underground thought so, too! I had a good time.

Alphys actually designed it so that I can shift back and forth at will, between this one and that. But those features seem to have been...disabled for now. To keep the game at least a little fair, I'm sure - because that body is definitely not fair in a game like this.

[cherryblooded]

Why's that? Tougher than this one?

[...now he's kind of unhappy that he's not in boxy form.]

[ratingspoint]

More like "No vulnerabilities at all." I could be attacked all people wanted, but actually killing me wasn't going to happen.

[cherryblooded]

Now that would be unfair.

...Wish you'd showed up like that instead.

[Of course he's worrying about him, still.]

[ratingspoint]

There's a third form that Alphys and I have...talked about - it's lighter and has more proper armor, and my right eye would be functional, but the defense is terrible and I couldn't really use my right hand at all.

It's intimidating! Beautifully so. But as incomplete as it is, it can't do anything but die. So it could have been worse, darling.

[cherryblooded]

You can be plenty intimidating as you are. So there's no call for something like that.

[ratingspoint]

It's something of a last resort anyway. I wouldn't dream of using that here, even if I could.

[cherryblooded]

...hope it never would come to that for you anyway.

[ratingspoint]

I'm sure it won't, sweetheart.

[Ahaha. Haha. Ha. Um.]

[cherryblooded]

[Don't mind if he just kind of leans into Mettaton's side there. Again: uncomfortable, don't care.]

[ratingspoint]

[...Oh.

No, he doesn't mind at all, actually, go ahead.]

...We'll be all right, darling. I promise.

[cherryblooded]

I'll be holding you to that promise.

[...Not that he can do much if it's broken, other than be absolutely miserable.]
