[Post-Halloween event, OPEN] "Matter of fact it's all dark."

It's... hard for him to take. The island feels the same as it's ever been. Fresher maybe. The castle is itself. Asriel is back right where he started, next to the hyacinth bush he woke up beside months ago. Dread welled in the pit of his stomach: oh no not again please not again

Relief sweeps through him when he finds the loamy black patches of soil with tiny green sprouts. Over the past month, the goat child nursed those tiny little plants, which grew from the golden flower seeds he picked off his sweater, pants, and fur from when he fell asleep in the Ruins. He knew it took a month or two of dormancy--longer if necessary, depending on the seasons--before the plants popped out of the ground, but he hadn't expected them to grow. Watering this little patch gave him something to do... a routine to follow like brushing your teeth or making the bed. ...Okay, he admitted. Maybe there was a part of him that hoped the seeds would make it. Sure enough, they did. It felt... weirdly validating, in a way.

If he's still in his current time, this means... oh.

Should one be taking a walk in the gardens that day, they may see Asriel on his knees in the flowers, head lowered in thought. His expression looks... numb.






[[OOC: For those who got their soul stolen, Asriel can apologize to your character here. If not, they're free to just chat. Thank you everybody who participated in the Hyperdeath event! :D]]

"Yeah?"

Sans shifted from a kneel to a cross-legged sits. He leans forward and glances at the flower for a moment, then to Asriel.

If it's any consolation, he knows.

"Rough day?"

"Sure, maybe."

Sans shrugged. He reaches out and lightly touches the sprout with a bony finger. A lot easier now that he wasn't human anymore.

"Doesn't mean it's not allowed to suck."

A long silence.

"... Huh."

The skeleton blinks.

"Okay, I must've slept through that."
