[intro] EVERY DOOR A WINDOW

[hauntedxholy]

Kris Dreemurr has had a pretty long day.

The sort of day that people could probably make really weird game demos about. The sort of day that feels like it came out of Aesop and the Grimm brothers' surrogate lovechild's feverdream. Or whatever. Long day. They're tired. Time to yeet a soul.

Or like, that was the plan. As soon as they get home and open the door to their room, they lose their balance on the edge of literally *nothing* and end up falling- falling-- oof. Ok. Not falling anymore.

In a kitchen.

Not their kitchen.

Their skin is its usual color, but they're in their Dark World regalia, which is either a good or a bad sign. There's no one else around, though, and there are a few baskets full of fresh-looking fruit and bread and stuff on the counters.........

Fuck it! Time to raid a pantry.

Hm. Maybe sometimes. That's a pretty far cry from Kris' own situation. Maybe that's a good thing? It's not like they want anyone else to be dealing with all this like they have.

Though it keeps bringing up the question of why and how and what.

"Well, it really wanted you here." They didn't even know it could open the doors like that. "The only other person I've seen it interested in before is, uh..." Shit. What was his name. They hold up a hand over the floor, approximate height. "Skeleton dude. Told me a your mom joke and gave me a phone number to a hotline for idiot babies."

'...Sans? He does dumb silly stuff like that. Likes puns lots, too. And Papyrus. You were--it's worried about him?'

Frisk lets out a long hum.

'Maybe it wants me to talk to them? Or try to be here if bad stuff happens? Are there any scared-acting humans around?'

[hauntedxholy]

"More like...happy to see him, I think." Maybe they'd know a little more if it just. TALKED to them, sometimes. But it never does. "And uh, no, I'm the only human in Hometown. I mean, aside from you, now." They pause.

"You... you are human, right?"

Normally a stupid question, considering. But also considering Frisk's eyes, and also their teeth... Kris hasn't seen another human in a pretty long time, but they're pretty sure they remember humans don't usually come like that.

...Even if it would give some awesome cred to some of Kris' pranks.

[dustless]

Hometown? Wow. Are they really sure Asgore wasn't King to name that?

No chance to ask, though. Their eyebrows go up at both those things. Humans being away might be a bad thing...and them not being human is slightly surprising, but oh yeah. The teeth.

"Uh." 'Mostly. Changed, and it happened at the castle. If we ever get back and you see a giant pink diamond, stay away from her. More bad S-O-U-L stuff.' They give a crooked grin. Probably nothing Kris will want to deal with, they hope.

...If they're stuck here and die, will they stay dead? Do they need to find a way to SAVE? Hm. They have plenty of time before they start getting really bad, but things are already getting complicated.

'Do you know what you'll say to mom? About me being here?'
