----

It was at first just faintness. A black swirling void of continuous grief. He was use to that. And then within an instant everything was vivid he was back, in existence. The vibrant color of the flowers in the throne room seeming intact as they were.

 

He could feel his sins upon his back. And yet, something else. A calming reassurance.

 

"I'm right here. You probably have a lot of questions." The stranger spoke within him.

 

"Take a moment. Catch your bearings. You must've been trapped a long time?" He questioned young Asriel.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

"yeah...I've been trapped in that soulless flower for years upon years, doing countless bad things" Asriel spoke with a natural kid voice but saddened "well I actually was revived for a short time by Frisk, they kept wanting to help me but it could never happen...how are you exactly? Why did you come down here?"

Why did you come down here?"

"For now, let's just say I was running an errand. Investigating if any monsters were still about in the underground." Ahab spoke, clenching his fist tightly.

 

Before the young Boss monster lays the human shape gauntlet of the said human.

 

"A close friend of- no a former friend. He unexpectedly had a new plan for me, the traitor." His tone became cold and bitter but he composed himself.

 

"Pick that up. I think my rucksack may be around too. You'll need to bring that gauntlet with you." He added. Just ahead laying upon his father throne lays the aging sack, a layer of dust and grim built upon it.

 

"Your little flower friend must have awoken what remained of my soul, my determination filling it. Untrained but experienced. But he underestimated me. I'm no push over. What's left of my soul I've given to you. Not enough to fully return but your own determination was far enough to grant you. So I'm allowing it on loan to you." He state.

 

"But I just can't let you go about on your own. I need you to do me a favor in return for this. Start by heading to the surface." He says.

@,

*Asriel picked up the gauntlet and sack

"I guess whatever I can do to help" Asriel felt a little sad that he would not return for real and was basically being used, again.

*Asriel examines the gauntlet

*10 attack, 10 defense. A perfect balance of dealing blows and taking them.

*Asriel equipped the gauntlet

Asriel heads throw the backdoor of the throne room to the surface "what are you wanting me to do?"

"I need to get in touch with other colleagues of mine. " He says. "I need to be updated on what I've missed."

 

"And don't worry. You'll be rewarded." He adds.

 

The bellowing of wind echoes through the empty tunnel of the former barrier, chilling to the touch. A pathway of snow clusters onto the ground as Asriel makes his way up the path.

 

"It must be winter. But yet I wonder hos long I've been gone?" Ahab speaks out loud in question.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

"well I think it was summer when Frisk came here" Asriel said thinking about what reward he would be given by this stranger "if that's so then it would explain why it felt so long since even flowey did anything but complain about what happened with Frisk. I have no idea when you arrived so I can't tell" Asriel admitted then looked at the cold landscape in front of them from the hill that had a human city directly ahead.

Ahab looked upon the city, he let out an intrigued huff.

 

"Seems to be the same as before." He says, yet noticing ahead towering high above the usual skyscrapers was a large almost menacing spire like structure.

 

"I do believe that wasn't there when I came up the mountain." He commented. A vast the high winds shuffling could be heard behind Asriel before hearing a hefty chuckle.

 

"Looky here..." a crooks voice speaks. Turning around standing before him is a tall rather slender individual. His eyes widen with excitement in a rather hostile fashion. His jacket still complementing to his stature displaying the skull of a froggit. Wielded in one hand he holds a large metallic paddle like weapon.

 

"I just knew there were more of you. Decided to come out huh?" His high pitch squeaks from his mouth giving a menacing grin.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

"Wait I don't want to fight, it won't solve anything if we do" Asriel pleaded but thought it would not work, some people just want to watch the world burn after all.

 

*The crook gets in your way

 

Before Asriel knew it, he was in a fight with the man

 

*Asriel says that there is another way other than fighting

"This one is just your average thug. He's a push over!" Ahab commented,

 

The Crook smiles intently with his trip ready on the metallic paddle.

 

"Asriel, just hold out the I'll do the rest." Ahab continued, his intent suggests he is encouraging an attack. The wind around the two picks up bellowing loudly in the air.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

*Asriel refuses to attack the thug

"I'm not going to kill anyone, I don't care if I don't get LOVE. I am not going to kill" Asriel remembered seeing death before his own eyes before which made him determined not to see it again

*Asriel puts his guard up, ready for an attack

"do your worst, because I'm not fighting" he says to the thug

"do your worst, because I'm not fighting" he says to the thug

The thug raises up the hefty weapon and vertically swinging downward onto Asriel. Lifting the gauntlet he braces himself. The force of it knocks Asriel forward landing face first into the ground but still with minimal injury.

 

*Asriel takes three points of damage.

 

The thug laughs happily.

"Aww not gonna even try?!" He scoffs at the youngling.

 

"Asriel! This man isn't gonna go easy! You have to fight!" Ahab says.

 

((OOC: Please do leave the statistics to me. Mostly this RP will be narrative driven.))

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

"no..." Asriel remembers the words Flowey spoke to Frisk

 

"What if your met with a relentless killer? You'll die and you'll die until your sick of it. But then what will you do? Will you kill out of frustration? Or give up on this world and let me take it over?"

 

Asriel got up fully "I won't fight and this human won't stop until I'm dead...I guess that means only one thing"

 

*Asriel tried to flee from battle

*Asriel tried to flee from battle

Taking off to the side Asriel engaged into a hefty sprint the slender assailant following along.

"Gonna play a game of tag huh!?" He shouts maniacally as he follows in pursuit.

 

"You can't out run him in this weather! " Ahab shouts in panic. "If you did we are both screwed! Along with the rest of society!" He continues on but the howling wind mutes out his complaints, seems the weather is picking up.

 

"If I don't get you! This storm sure as hell will!" The pursuing crook sputters. And is by an instant the young monster is covered in a blanket of white, a snow storm seemingly brewed out of nowhere.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

"its...so cold" Asriel shutters as he still tries to run until he finds a large tree and hopes that his pursuer lost him in the snow. Asriel looks around hopping something can warm him up but to no avail "is there something in your bag that can help?" Asriel whispers as he feels the storm getting stronger "please say there is"

Asriel looks around hopping something can warm him up but to no avail "is there something in your bag that can help?" Asriel whispers as he feels the storm getting stronger "please say there is"

It was nothing but the frosty blanket and the deaf breaching uproar, the sheet of white limiting. visibility. Like being trapped in a cotton dream with subzero temperatures. Asriel checked the bag only to discover tattered books and such.

 

"Asriel..." Ahab spoke, his tone shifting to dread.

 

Always feeling to be the voice of reason he was obligated to find rational solutions. But even the old instincts like everyone else was far too noticeable to be ignored. But he could do nothing, even if he wanted to take control of the host body he would still be in the same position as young Asriel.

 

It was unbearably frosty, the two souls felt it in conjunction. And yet a strange warmth was flowing through them along with an urging sleeping Every aching part of them begged for sleep.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

"I never thought that I would die twice...I didn't even expect I would feel this again" Asriel said as he closed his eyes "but I'm not going to listen to the calls of death, as long as I am alive again. I want to see Frisk and there friends...maybe Frisk even found something out to help me" Asriel chuckled "probably not but its worth a shot and even a shot in the dark can hit" Asriel thinks about the determination Frisk had when going throw the underground "Frisk never gave up in a cold climate and neither will I"

"Storms like these are don't seem to be common with... Ebott...." Ahab's voice appears to sound as though it's fading away growing further and further. With each trudging step his movements seemed slower and continuing so. Shivering furiously he continued onward down the mountainside the continuity of the storm seeming to last forever as the frost slowly consumes the young monster.

 

"I'm sorry Asriel." Ahab again spoke, his voice now stuttering as his breathing intensifies. It seems he too can also feel the bitter cold.

 

And then it was just blackness again. As if by uncontrollable urge Asriel laid upon the blanket of snow.

 

His eyes closed in a new slumber that newly found warmth overtaking his entire senses. Was he dead? Have they both perished?

 

He could hear the sound of a gentle fire. The rich scent of oak wood and possibly tea. Coming to, Asriel looked about at his surrounding. He was laid about onto a simple bed wrapped in thick warm blanket his head resting on an equally thick pillow. To his left was night stand, Ahab's bag and gauntlet laying together. Furthermore was a row of tile countertops with various utensils and cooking ware. Ahead of him he could see the fireplace beyond a simple dining table: the home size a generic cottage it seems.

 

Ahab seems to be dormant. And no one seems to be home either.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

"What happened?" Asriel asked himself as he was looking around the cottage "how even lives here? A human? A monster?" Asriel gets up from the bed to have a very bad headache "ow!" he almost yelled feeling his head until the pain calmed down "well the storm did take its toll didn't it?" He asks rhetorically taking the bag and gauntlet from the nightstand "Ahab? Are you there?"

He asks rhetorically taking the bag and gauntlet from the nightstand "Ahab? Are you there?"

There doesn't seem to be any response. The door near the fireplace suddenly bursts open. A thick coated figure, wrapped head to toe, enters in. With heavy muffled breathes it shuts the door. With the hood and ski mask removed it reveals the face of an aged woman, maybe between 40 - 50 of age? Doesn't appear elderly but yet she is obviously been around. Her hair a mix of eldered gray and it's original black.

 

"You're awake. How about that?" Her voice giving a display of surprise and relief. Her tone very motherly yet having a strong firmness . She smiles and approaches as she removes her heavy overcoat.

 

"What are you doing out alone out there?" She asks in worry..

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

This is something that's hard to answer because I hardly know myself. Asriel thought to himself looking at the woman "well I was...I was being chased by a thug that tried to hurt me when I was playing on the mountain, I don't even know where I am or how to get home...well I actually don't have a home" Asriel knew what he wanted to say and what to avoid, expecialy the whole 'I was dead thing'

"You poor thing. " She responds. "Well it's a good thing I found just on the road to my home."

 

"My name is Rita." She introduces herself, reaching into a cabinet she holds out a type of drink mix it seems. Heading to the kettle above the fireplace she begins pouring it in brewing up a hot beverage, the warm scent of cocoa now filling the air.

 

"I'll just be fixing up a warm glass for you." She says holding some dear smile.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

She seems nice...well there are people like Frisk out there. Asriel thought looking at Rita "thank you Rita...would it be rude to ask for something to eat?" Asriel asked Rita with a smile. Wait, what about Ahab. Will he say something that will be heard by Rita? What will her reaction be? He gets a little worried

"Of course you can." She says again with her warm smile. Returning back to the cabinet she takes a foil wrapped item, placed onto the counter she reveals it to be a piece of cake. The layers of it show a bright display mix of chocolate.

 

"I would cook you a meal dear, but all of the food is underneath in the cellar. I'd have to go out in the blizzard. " She explains and placing the fresh cake onto the nightstand next to Asriel.

 

"Hope you like chocolate. I got it yesterday and just in time too. " She adds.

[Yoshikupo 302]

@,

When was the last time I had chocolate? All I can remember the taste of was my moms butterscotch cinnamon pie...I wonder if she still makes it, knowing her she does. Asriel thinks and then picks up the cake. He takes a bite of it "this is absolutely great, I haven't had sweets for a long time" he says with his smile growing wide "its so good to eat something"

Rita expressed happily, "Well I'm glad you like it." She says stirring up the kettle above the

fire.

 

Ahab began to stir, letting out a disgruntled groan he begins to speak.

"Asriel? You're okay?" he asked, "I didn't think I could keep you maintained for so long. Guess we lucked out finding this place." He added, his tone sounding slightly raspy as if he was ill.

 

Rita, now satisfied with the brew poured the mixture into a small mug.
