You awaken to blackness. Frightening, although familiar--this is the same terrible thing you narrowly avoided during your first trip into Lebensbaum. The pain of your death is still real, echoes of the wounds you suffered appearing on your skin. Inspecting your surroundings will tell you that you've woken up inside of the cooled, empty bonfire pit....and the town as it was is nowhere to be seen.

The sky is a whirlwind of blank, dark void. What previously acted as roadblocks on either side of the town seems to have moved upward, blocking out most of the sun's light. The street is barren, filled with piles of broken concrete, shattered glass, and smoking craters where many of the buildings used to be. Old bloodstains dot the pavement, mixing in with overturned cars and crumbling brick walls. Lebensbaum is a dead town, in more ways than one.

Except for the hotel. It stands, as dusty and abandoned as it ever was, but no worse for the wear. Scorch marks can be seen on the ground around it in a clear border, as though it had a barrier protecting it from whatever destroyed the village. If you venture inside, everything is in its place, as though the outside wasn't completely obliterated.

The living can be seen walking around, going about their daily lives, and if you concentrate, you can even see the buildings as they once were--in working order, clean, and in one piece.

As of Monday on Week 10, however, there is a door, seemingly pasted into the middle of the street. As the days tick by, the doors will increase in number, one for each victim.

[WOW why would Undyne ever give Sans shit for anything!! Actually, she does feel pretty bad about him winding up here, so she'll just...carefully pick him up and prop him upright on a rock somewhere.]

What happened? [If he answers 'I died' or anything obvious like that, she's gonna kick him.]

[he immediately puts up his hood. sans is in sweater town now. he is in sweater town... forever. he just makes a louder groaning noise.]

ughhhhhhhh

[it. it might take him a minute.]

[Okay well she gets needing to work through Extreme Rage at the fucking sinparents for killing you along with feeling guilty that he's dead, so she actually will give Sans that minute.

Any time now, Sans.]

[man, if only undyne knew... none of these are the feelings sans are feeling right now. he hides himself further into sweatertown, grumbling something that's ... impossible to make out. it sure sounds annoyed! then he sighs. ok. ok. he is over it. well. no he isn't, but he sure as heck is going to go to his go-to reflex! and! just go ahead and repress all of that!!!]

well. this is a grave situation.

[BECAUSE HE'S DEAD]

Ugh.

[GODDAMMIT THIS IS WHAT SHE GETS FOR BEING NICE TO HIM. But fine, he gets one, she's starting to understand that horrible puns are just one of Sans' terrible coping methods for dealing with the tragedy that is his life. And also because he's an ass, but seeing as how he just died and saw Papyrus die, she'll give him this one without even bothering to threaten physical violence.]

At least...we're all together now? [There's very little enthusiasm in her voice though. She would have been perfectly fine being forever separated from the skeletons if it meant they lived.] And we're ghosts, so we're not seriously dead.

Was it Satan for you too?

[oh wow it's good to know who killed his brother!!!]

[which is to say thanks undyne sans has been #triggered and literally just throws himself back down on the ground. this time it sounds more like MUFFLED SCREAMING]

["was it satan", she says. yeah. yeah. yeah, sans FUCKING WISHES]

[FOR MORE THAN ONE REASON]

uggGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Dammit, she can't even enjoy Sans being the annoyed one for once thanks to their circumstances. SINPARENTS ARE TRULY THE WORST.]

So...her? Not her? Someone else? Just tell me so I know who to target!

[UGH SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SANS' TRIGGERS THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME RAGE TRIGGERS NOW]

[no fuck you he's going to stay there on the ground forever. this time with hood up!!!!!]

[or more accurately he stays there for about 30 seconds before turning over to stare at undyne. he's not getting up but at least he's not muffled screaming into the ground??

conceal dont feel etc]

k. im over it. [he's obviously not??????] if i tell you, can i get first dibs on "wrath".

[he knows no one would ever agree to this and that it's also an obvious tell he DIDN'T fight satan, he just... doesn't ... wanna talk about it.... ever.......

ever]

[WELL TOO BAD SANS YOUR PLAN BACKFIRED because Undyne just shrugs.]

Sure, go ahead. I already beat her, I don't need to do it again! A coward like her isn't worth my time! [Also Sans probably deserves REVENGE more than Undyne does, as mad as she is about Papyrus dying and all.]

[..............well then. he... honestly didn't expect her to say yes. time to?? roll with it??? reluctantly. with great hate.]

i was slotted to get done in by sloth. "belphegor". [it's a weak pun but it's all he's got, ok. he raises a fist weakly like he's cheering.] it was a big win for karma. and sloth.

[She is saving her energy for Lucifer aka the other sin she has a massive grudgewank against who she hasn't actually fought yet. As far as she's concerned, the best revenge against Wrath would be to ignore her contemptuously and let someone weak take her instead. Like Vegeta.]

She killed someone part of her own sin? [Her brow wrinkles.] I would have thought they wanted to keep people on their team alive.

[Aside from Pride of course who is just a HUGE FILTHY CHEATING OUTLIER AND DOESN'T COUNT.]

So...I'm guessing they didn't let you use your magic, huh? [Of course, Sans is still super weak as far as she knows even with magic, but ugh let her believe that even he could beat some asshole who represents Sloth. MONSTER PRIDE UNITE.]

[sans just... shrugs.]

he. and nah, he didn't. but i dunno if it'd have helped all that much if he did. his whole shtick seemed to be making sure you can't see his attacks coming, and...

[sans the one hit wonder, etc. though no, it would've helped, if only because then he could've used more than five fucking bones to try to block??? so rude. so fucking rude.]

So they're all fucking cheaters. Good to know. [She says to the BIGGEST FUCKING CHEATER OF THEM ALL...]

Ugh, what a pack of weaklings! What was the point of the whole game if they were just going to kill us all at the end?! [SHE IS SO MAD ON SANS' BEHALF but ugh gross feelings]

[undyne has No Idea. and sans is never going to tell her. SHE GOT TIME TRAVEL OUT OF HIM THAT'S AS GOOD AS IT GETS]

i dunno. i got the guy to confirm that what they get outta the game is just "energy", an' that the killing stuff was random victim-wise this week. buuuut it was supposed to happen? it's part of the game.

[he shrugs with a sigh. just remembering that "conversation" is so. Annoying.] that and confirmation kat's the one who summoned them is all i got out of him.

[Honestly, she can live with never knowing Sans is a better fighter than she is. She also doesn't look that surprised at any of these revelations.]

Ha! Anyone who actually bought that the assholes who kidnapped us and forced us to play their stupid game would actually go through with their promises is a total freaking moron anyway! [LOOKING AT YOU KILLERS...but seriously she's so salty about everything what was the point when Papyrus would have likely been randomly selected from the start] I doubt that they ever planned on letting any of us live, even the so-called last seven.

So what do you think we should do now? Kill Katerina? If she's the one holding their leash, we need to find a way to break it. Let's see how tough she is without her little dogs around guarding her!

[i mean. "better". "more likely to be a fucking cheater". whichever... works...]

eh. if she was outright controlling them, she wouldn't be worried they'd go ahead and kill miata just because she doesn't have some jewellery on. so. y'know. do it if it makes you feel better.

[sans usually wouldn't go "sure, let's kill them all" since it might not be a solution but now who cares?? they killed papyrus??? death to all involved!!!]

Yeah, what was up with those dumb necklaces we had to wear anyway? They didn't do shit to stop people getting murdered by the sins!

[and yes good come join the genocide train sans it's a fun time for everyone!!]

[i rather recall the genocide train being a Bad Time, actually]

uh... branding? decoration? one of the sin's jewellery line making its public debut? that last one seems right. [no it doesn't. he shrugs and gives her a real guess:] it was probably just an easy way to mark and designate who's in the game. that and they used it for the "immunity" magic in them, so there's gotta be some kind of... magic connection thing involved. some sorta conduit for it?

[okay, now he's just working through his thought process out loud and using undyne as a soundboard. sorry.]

maybe that means the source the magic connects to the necklaces... they talked about a contract, so, it might be a binding component instead...

[sans undyne is still here and no one cares about your ramblings]

So we should just BREAK THEIR FUCKING NECKLACES!!

[no Sans' rambling theories are great Undyne cares so much about them if they justify her need to murder]

[. . . moving from being undyne's employee/the brother of her bff to sort of actually being friends with her has been such an experience for sans]

and/or the source, sure. if there is one. might as well give it a shot.

[implying it has also not been an incredibly frustrating grueling headache-inducing adventure for Undyne too...]

Great! Good plan! So...how do we summon the sins or Katerina down here? Did they just show up randomly when they killed you?

[ok but that was true before they were "friends" so??? clearly sans has suffered MORE]

nah, they teleported me somewhere. some rocky place surrounded by the sea.

[sans how do you even know what the sea looks like]

[That gets her eyebrows to jump up.]

The sea? Was there a platform with a star chart on it? And a giant fish monster almost as badass looking as I am? [listen Rahab might be the size of a skyscraper but she can wear armor clearly she wins here]

[. . . . . ????]

uh. nah. just that one rock, the sea and a whole lot of mist. but i might be mistaken.

[WINKS]

Someone here's about to be achin' all right! [SAAAAANS see this is why she is definitely the bigger Sufferer in this friendship]

So he what...just teleported you while you were sleeping? And killed you? What an asshole!
