This is the story of me and mine

[itstheend]

Chara wakes up covered in bones.

This wasn't a good place to wake up, considering everything, and they spend a minute thrashing trying to get to their feet and dodge attacks that aren't there.

*Chara, it's okay it's just...
*...I don't know where this is.

"You don't have to sound so concerned about it."

*No, you don't understand!
*I've been everywhere in the Underground!
*Where did... what... how many people are here!?

"Don't think about it," Chara recommends, and starts walking, their passenger wincing with every crunch. When the clouds part and blue sky becomes visible both of them spend some time just staring at it.

A perhaps familiar-looking striped child explores the castle, looking on edge, keeping to the shadows and trying to avoid the sounds of people (likely with mixed success given they will occasionally stop to mutter to, apparently, themselves). Where they find food, they try to cram as much as possible into their pockets, and they're on the lookout for weapons - although they keep a tight grip on their Stick which has been crudely sharpened to a point.
