⠀ ⠀ yeah , frisk wasn’t really aware at first either . i think .
( scratching their cheek , before they blink at the others next words . )
.. they did?? please tell me that’s how they died . it would be really funny .
ㅤ
* It was! They weren't exactly aware of the fact I was there, but it was fun just watching them go about.
[ You're happy about the subject change. You don't want to deal with that moral dilemma right now. . .]
* . . . They drank acid. Once.
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ .. why do you carry jars around with you again ?
( they’re beginning to put all the benadryl in the jar .. the other really WAS a weirdo. why were they considered the weird one all the time ?? )
ㅤ
* ( You begin shuffling through your bag , pulling out an empty mason jar . )
First one I grabbed ! And aaaall for you . And that Benadryl I guess .
* ( You hand it over . )
I'll stay here in case you need a second one .
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ .. you know , i think maybe i’ll put them in a jar for you . still not sure how much i trust letting you carry these around though .
( still not letting them by the pills . )
here , give the jar .
ㅤ
that's true !
* ( You sound REMARKABLY calm for this situation . You don't physically protest CHARA taking them away , but you do sigh . )
Come on now i have to put these in like a jar or something man
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀.. anyway . cool that we have similar experiences , i guess . it was a little entertaining watching your human — clover, was it ? — go through the underground, right ?
( trying to change topic . . )
ㅤ
* . . . Right.
[ You're a bit confused given the fact they're also human. You know you've suffered your fair share of abuse by human hands, but still. . .]
you know how some people we know are about taking allergy medicine .
* ( You're gathering the pills onto a pile . )
i keep 5 things of benadryl on me , a couple things of claritin and some other stuff .
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ ( blinking . before they just .. stare at them . )
wh . why do you just .. have four cases of benadryl on you ?? in what world would you need that .
ㅤ
that's not as much of a consolation as you want it to be partner .
* ( You start digging into your bag , pulling out like , 4 cases of Benadryl . )
Alright , you ready for shit to get weird ?
ㅤ
⠀ literally all they’re halfway good at is destroying themselves and being the most selfish species on earth . i would literally sit and eat popcorn while the rest of the human race died if it ever happened .
( of course they thought differently —
ㅤ
[ You frown. You liked to believe MOST people are good, but there's just. . . Some people who make you rethink that.]
* Humans can be cruel, sure, but I don't think all of them should be entirely wiped out? Maybe??
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ i mean . at least it was less than half of true lab ?
( shrugging .. )
um.. well since he’s another hallucination, i’ll go with yes . you’re ACTUALLY okay with me stabbing someone so i can’t pass this up .
ㅤ
i do not say THAT MANY weird things . besides you were laughing your ass off for like 40% of the true lab which is weirder .
* ( You quickly imagine the obscenely tall hat ablaze . )
. . . A little arson wouldn't hurt , would it ? If you're my hallucination can you attack —
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ one weird thing i said doesnt beat all the weird things you’ve done or said ?? ever ??
( they stop for now , crossing their arms — not upset ! it’s just comfortable . )
pretty shitty one . i wanna put that hat in fire and watch it burn .
ㅤ
oh , i don't know , maybe it's the fact that quite literally JUST said " oh let me make you think your hallucinations are worse " .
* ( You let the poke happen as you're too busy hitting air quotes for the last portion of your sentence . )
it's a type of aura ! just . not .
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ ( memories of yelling , fighting , and blood filled their head . they couldn’t help the annoyed look on their expression . )
what isn’t bad about it ? i could make a long , LONG list as to why all humans should just be killed off .
ㅤ
* What's wrong with being human? There isn't anything bad about it?
[ You ask. You found some comfort in bonding with the other fallen humans, so why was Chara so. . . Off?]
[ You try not to think about what they said prior to the humans comment. ]
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ sorry , how am i the weirdo between us ? if anything , that should be your label .
( narrowing their eyes .. using their other hand to poke . they’re lucky they don’t try to bite their hand . )
please . please stop . that is not aura . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ .. well , bad people have at least one person thinking they’re ‘nice’ . doesn’t make it true .
( crossing their arms . )
well — i guess all the humans that fell are similar . kind of . not that i want to be similar to any human ever , —
ㅤ
* I understand. You seem nice, though.
[ Nicer than you believed yourself to be. You offer them a small smile, trying to reassure them.]
* It's just. . . Oddly simply circumstances is all.
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ .. huh .
( they supposed they never really .. thought about the other souls going through anything similar to them before . how odd . )
we’re really alike . not sure if that’s really a good or bad thing , though . i wouldn’t usually want to —
ㅤ
* I. . . I died before Clover fell, and then when they fell into the dark ruins I was just. . . There.
[ You remember it vividly. You just appeared one day with no real memories of who or what you were. You couldn't even remember your own name. . .]
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ i’ll make sure to say your name when im not there to make this worse !
( scrunching up their nose as they poked it, and proceeded to poke just .. wherever else on the others face . )
please . it’s tall and literally serves no purpose .
ㅤ
* ( It's a poke war now and you hold no intention to lose . Once on their nose , once for each cheek . )
Oh c'mon , now I'm totally gonna look behind my back when I walk into places for like . A Day .
* ( You hit a record THREE eye rolls in three responses ! )
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ my soul was asleep . i think .. i don’t really remember much between my death and frisk’s fall .
( scratching their cheek . it was a little weird to think about . )
.. dunno . at least one person thinks they are though , right ?
ㅤ
* Clover fell. . Right before Frisk?
[ You have to think about it for a moment. Your memory of Clover's time Underground is fuzzy. You remember them sacrificing themselves for monsterkind, but also. . .]
* They were very kind.
ㅤ
⠀ ⠀ ( .. nevermind. poking them again . and again … )
oh , that’s fun . love it when i hear someone call my name when nobody’s there . or is there .. actually nobody there?
( messing with them , of course . )
yeah , i’ve met the guy . he’s —
ㅤ
oh you know , the uzh . my name being called , some ringing , garbage noise , stuff like that .
* ( You smirk . You have won this battle . )
Well , if you're a hallucination , you're a damn good one . Better you than like . The Hat Man .
