Takes place after the funeral, but before everyone realizes Frisk is alive.

[[Because I'm going to be an asshole to my Asriel.]]

While tending to the golden flowers, Asriel drifted off into a deep sleep. He expected to die--well, not so much "die" as turn back into a soulless flower who can't feel love anymore. He found it nice while it lasted. He yawned and stretched himself awake... his eyes shot open and he held his arm in front of him, flexing his fingers. He's still... himself? The goat startled as he accidentally knocked over a bush of hyacinths that crowded him in a rainbow of colors. What is he doing here?

This isn't the Ruins. It's much brighter than that, and--that's the sky, isn't it? Asriel gets up and walks around while he can still feel his arms and legs. He calls out, asking if anyone's there. He doesn't get a reply, but he does hear singing from far away. It's not in a language he understands, but it's beautiful, and the melody weaves itself through his ears like a soothing balm. Even if it did sound kind of... sad. He follows the singing and finds a throng of people in the distance. While relieved he wasn't alone, the atmosphere was solemn, and a pit formed in his stomach as he wondered if something terrible had happened.

Batman nods in acknowledgement, and begins to walk away from the funeral. He moves at a bit of a slower pace than he otherwise would- Asriel's short enough that Batman suspects he'd have trouble keeping up.

"What's the last thing you remember?" he asks. That seems like a good place to start.

It's cool! :)

"Well, uh... I was looking after a patch of golden flowers and I fell asleep. Then I woke up in an entirely different garden and..." He shivered. "I'm not supposed to be here."

[andthebat]

"Patch of golden flowers," Batman repeats. That seems a very vague description. "Is it anywhere in this castle?"

[justletmewin]

"No... I never been to the castle." He points in the direction of the gardens. "I came from over there."
