Spooky Scary Skeleton (And Other Friends) [Closed]

[sassafrisk]

Who: Frisk, Papyrus, Baiken, Kuja, and Chara
When: All throughout October
Where: The spookiest of spookplaces in Vaikuntha
What: Frisk gets a'exorcisin', and they call on a few friends to help out.
Warnings/Notes: General fun spoopiness, will tag further as needed

Frisk was always a fan of haunted house rides. At least when the staff wasn't chewing them out for sneaking in. The real thing, surprisingly, wasn't all that more creepy, and definitely more cute. At least sometimes.

[OOC: Separate toplevels for separate quests.]

Frisk chortles at Chara's witty repartee, but their face darkens when Chara brings up the question they were about to ask. Oh, right. Thorny ethical spacetime manipulation dilemmas. Technically, they could just drop it, and it didn't even matter anymore, but... something still felt wrong. "So. You know the other Frisk, right?"

From the look on Frisk’s face, this might be a doozy of a conversation. Chara’s own expression darkens, though only a little. “Yeah, I talked to them a little,” they say. “They seemed...well, very you!”

"Yeah. That's the thing." Frisk sighs, putting their hands behind their head and looking at the sky. How were they even going to say this? "Okay, this is going to be a ride, so you might wanna grab your Spacetime Ethical Dilemmas-brand headache reliever.

"So, I talked to them, and... well, they've been through the Underground a lot of times. Like. A lot. So much so that they can do all the puzzles in Snowdin blindfolded, and in case you don't have those in your world, that's a lot of puzzle to do. And the thing is, they... apparently got a really good ending? An almost perfect one, actually. There was just one person that they couldn't save. So they went back and tried, again and again and again, to try and find a way to, well, save them, whoever they are."

Frisk shakes their head, frowning. "I mean, that's noble and all, but... don't you have to give up after a certain point? Isn't it kinda unfair to keep everybody else trapped down there for the sake of just one person, especially when you have a tried and true method for getting everybody else out? They aren't able to perceive it, sure, but it still feels... icky to me. And sure, I don't know who they weren't able to save, or if they're dead or something else, but still.

"And then there's how I'm not sure I wouldn't end up doing literally the exact same thing in their shoes! On a fundamental level, we're the same person. Slightly different genes, slightly different backgrounds, but we're still the same. So I'm probably the least qualified to assess this whole thing!"
