the stars, the moon, they have all been blown out (OPEN)

Who: Frisk and your character!
What: It's a catch all for the event
When: During the event.
Where: Around town & the party

Content Warnings: Possible mentions of child murder & genocide

A) i. snake den



( Frisk might not be participating in the talent show, but they're here to participate in the party regardless. They aren't someone who's all that social to begin with, but they're not not the kind of child to shy away from seeing anything new that might be going on, too. They've found themselves quite fond of exploring at home, and that's something that's carried onto this world here.

For the most part, Frisk will be keeping to themselves, but not quite being a wallflower. They'll be seeing what the party has to offer.

Once they spot the pillows piled around the area, they'll do something... a bit odd-looking in a party like this. They'll be taking the time to make a pillow fort in one of the corners of the room. Leave a child with a pile of pillows, and that's what's bound to happen. After a while, they'll step away from the fort, cupping their chin and quietly admiring their handywork. )


A) ii. all you need is LOVE



( A while into the party, and the opposite of stress-relief seems to hit Frisk all at once. The differences between their Partner and themselves seem to come into full-swing once more – only, Frisk is the one who feels the negative part of it all. Instead of openly making their way through the party, they'll find themselves staying put in one area.

They find a nearby corner to stay next to, folding their arms and keeping a close eye on those around them. Despite being around others who are seemingly in a good mood, Frisk feels distrusting, wary of those around them. If anyone approaches them suddenly, they'll send them a rather wary look. They have no weapon, nothing to defend themselves from anyone who could be particularly dangerous. It's a lot to take in at once – almost as if the young child is feeling an extreme case of mood whiplash.

If anyone does try to get their attention, Frisk's brows knit together, straightening quickly. Their gaze is distant, and they only greet them after a while. )


... What?

B) the shedding ceremony



( The change comes drastically once more.

What once looked human looks like something similar to who Frisk once was but there are some extreme differences. Their hair has darkened, and their face has turned considerably lighter -- their eyes pitch black, but still far more expressive than they once were. It's almost as if Frisk has changed into a ghost -- if not for the faint glow surrounding them.

They don't hesitate to explore the new world around them, but they feel completely out of their element. With all the knowledge of difference universes and timelines in the world they know, nothing could have prepared them for this.

They can be seen at various locations -- the beach, around town, near their own home. )


This can't be right. I don't belong here.

( This feels like it should be a dream. But, it doesn't feel like that at all. )

C) unsnakely



( Frisk is not a fighter by any means, but they are in no means a coward, either.

They hear about the dangers of the snake that seems to have made its way into town, and Frisk can't help but want to step in and assist anyone who might be caught in the crossfire of the snake. If Frisk just so happens to find your character close to the snake, they'll ignore their own vertigo and fight the nausea in order to make their way to them.

They offer a small hand to take, brows furrowed and a desperate look on their face. )


Come on! ( Never mind the danger that they're in. They're used to getting hurt. They're more concerned about the other person. )

[Even without LOVE, Chara has always been a fucked up kid, with a considerable amount of trauma they never took the time to fully work through.

But Frisk is their... friend. They know that. Frisk is a good person, a better person than they are, probably, and they want Frisk to be happy, so they approach with a small smile on their face.]


Aren't you going to perform? You could stack hot dogs on your head.
the_obedient_servant: (* This world isn't for me)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-01-13 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Has your opinion on dogs soured recently, or did you suddenly become a quitter? We reached 30 last time, I'm sure we can beat it.
the_obedient_servant: (* My partner says they're killing us.)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-01-19 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Chara furrows their brow and reaches out, grabbing them by the shoulder. It's not rough, because Chara has no LOVE, so their pre-disposal to violence isn't anywhere near as prevalent, but they're still worried and a bit annoyed.]

What's with you? Is something wrong?
the_obedient_servant: (* Eh?)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-01-21 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a distinct look of hurt on their face as they recoil back. Then they furrow their brow, angry. It looks like they're not content to leave it at that.]

Not until you tell me what's wrong.
the_obedient_servant: (* How interesting.)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-01-23 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
...

You've gained LOVE.

[This has the potential to be a big problem, but Chara is stubborn.]

That's all the more reason why you shouldn't push me away.
the_obedient_servant: (* Think about offing myself)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-01-24 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[This is unfair. They should have LOVE. They're the one that deserves this. This inversion of both of their roles is so deeply cruel.]

That doesn't mean you have to be alone, Frisk.
the_obedient_servant: (* And I see them.)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-01-29 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's...

[To someone else, having their own irrational words and thoughts thrown back at them, being in the situation of the person who you were arguing with, that might cause them to change their mind.

But not Chara, unfortunately.]


It's different. Just let me stay with you until we're back to normal, alright?
the_obedient_servant: (* Maybe it's all about YOU.)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-01-29 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[They bristle, but only for a moment, before they narrow their eyes.]

I could say the same thing about you. [Even though they remain uncorrupted by LOVE, Chara has always had a cold side that comes out whenever they don't want to deal with something. And currently, Frisk is pushing that button.]

In this state, I know you're not helpless. That's part of the problem. You're my responsibility, I'm not letting you shake me off that easily.
the_obedient_servant: (* And here the crooked TALE)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-01-31 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I should have.

[They cross their arms. They know there wasn't actually anything they could do when it came down to it, except help them less. They could have forced Frisk to rely on their own DETERMINATION to wake up, without any added assistance.

But they can play at being in control as much as they like, both Frisk and Chara were puppets on a string at the end of the day.]


For both of our sakes.
the_obedient_servant: (* If only you knew...)

[personal profile] the_obedient_servant 2022-02-01 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Neither of us should have to have LOVE. But you're more suited to being a hero than I am. [That much is true. They tried once, twice, and they always managed to screw up. Asriel agreed. Toriel and Asgore probably agreed too.]

I don't want to fight you, and I don't want to lose you either. Despite everything, it's still you.

If you want to go home, we can go, but don't push me away.

[Mebh came to the party largely so she could eat her weight in snacks, though at least she's dressed up in an outfit that seems to have been mysteriously gifted to her. At some point, she notices the fort Frisk is setting up and goes over to investigate.]

You makin' a house? [Making a pillow fort is something that's never occurred to Mebh before. Pillows weren't exactly easy for her to come by back home to begin with.]
mactirebeag: ([human] 2)

[personal profile] mactirebeag 2022-01-17 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Least it's not too hard to move in.

[She's never really seen an outfit like it before, but she rarely ever gets new clothes so she's not going to think too hard about it.]

Didn't know you could make a house out of pillows. Couldn't somebody knock it down easily?
mactirebeag: ([human] 69)

[personal profile] mactirebeag 2022-01-27 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright.

[At least it's something else to do here. She mainly came here for snacks, and there aren't a lot of people close to her age at this party.]

If anybody does try to knock it down, I'll scare 'em off for you.
mactirebeag: ([human] 4)

[personal profile] mactirebeag 2022-02-01 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'll still scare 'em off after.

[Mebh gets on all fours, which is all too natural for her, and crawls into the fort.]

Maybe I should have brought us some tasties...
mactirebeag: ([human] 28)

[personal profile] mactirebeag 2022-02-05 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
All of 'em.

[That's her immediate answer. Mebh doesn't discriminate when it comes to food.]

We should get as much as we can carry!

[Maul has been changed into his eight-year-old self, skittish and very shy around everyone. Fortunately, the galaxy is a strange place, and so Trench isn't so unusual with everything in it that he feels overwhelmed. Staying at the house with Savage, he's been cautiously exploring.

When he sees Frisk, he shyly comes towards them, his voice soft.]


Are you from another planet too?
survivalthroughhate: ([Child] Woeful)

[personal profile] survivalthroughhate 2022-02-05 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Maul comes just a little closer, though there's still a pinched, tense look about him, like he expects like he might have to run off at any moment.]

Of course. There's lots of different planets out there in the galaxy.

[Maul as a child doesn't easily understand the concept of the multiverse but he can relate to there being planets without number all filled with different sorts of people and places. He nods at the question.]

Uh-huh. My brother Savage said I can go exploring after I finish my chores 'n I already did them today.

[personal profile] survivalthroughhate 2022-02-19 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sometimes my master lets me go to different planets but they're usually not much fun.

[Especially considering what Sidious does is essentially dump the poor boy on a planet and tell him to survive by any means necessary until his master comes back for him. But Maul is scrappy, tenacious, and above all has a stubborn streak a mile wide, so he's been able to survive up until now.]

'Kay. My brother told me about some stables nearby where they keep all the horses. Wanna go see them?
survivalthroughhate: ([Child] Unimpressed)

[personal profile] survivalthroughhate 2022-02-21 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
I don't usually get to meet a lot of people 'cept for my master and the droids.

[This is the first time in a long while Maul has been able to be around other people which also hasn't done any favors for his socialization skills.

He trots down the street and tries to follow the directions his brother gave him to get to the stables. Maul ends up doubling back twice but he does get there eventually. He gestures for Frisk to follow him inside.]


My brother's horse is here. He said it's the biggest horse in here!
