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.

[what if she uses a match and SETS HIS HAIR ON FUCKING FIRE]

[vicedirector]

[ She can. And for a second, it burns.

But then he stirs. And his eyes slowly crack open.

CONGRATULATIONS, FIRE OR INTENSE HEAT IS THE KISS TO WAKE UP SLEEPING BEAUTY. ]

[thebonezone]

[oh my god???????????]

i guess that's what i get for never learning fire magic.

[HE DIDNT THINK THIS FAR WHAT DO THEY DO]

[detanimetion]

[WELL SHE WAS ABOUT TO PICK HIM UP AND HURL HIM INTO A WALL FACE FIRST which

actually

she'll go ahead and do that. He woke up? What? Impossible!! She didn't see anything!!!]

[vicedirector]

[ The first thing he does is get slammed into a wall. Teeth definitely get broken, but the blood disappears with a white flicker all the same.

The second thing he does is roll over, retch that week-old spaghetti up, yawn, and look blankly at the two of them. ]

...really?

[friendboned]

[AND HERE COMES PAPYRUS, TO.. SAVE THE DAY??]

OH MY GOD!! I KNEW IT!! THE SMELL OF MY DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI WOKE HIM UP!!

AND NOW, HE CAN'T HOLD HIS FEELINGS FOR ME... OR IT... ANYMORE!!

[thebonezone]

[he's beaming]

[HEY SLOTHDAD, ARE YOU PROUD OF HIM NOW???]

[haha j/k he doesn't care]

yep. you totally saved the day, bro.

[then he waves at sloth]

'morning.

[detanimetion]

That's what you get for sleeping all the time and making shitty puns, asshole!

[wait who is she talking to again]

Now how about you answer some questions or we break out the grenades?! [Which totally count as fire too!! Let her blow something up god.]

[thebonezone]

[sans came here to have a good time and he is honestly feeling so attacked right now??]

[vicedirector]

[ He doesn't answer at first. Belphegor stands up and brushes a hand over his face--the marker ink disappears; with a flick of the wrist his clothes are suddenly dry, too, the displaced water soaking into the concrete at his feet. ]

Why should I?

[ He seems completely unfazed by the fact that Sans and Undyne likely killed him several times over in the past half hour. ]

[friendboned]

BECAUSE... IF YOU DO.... I'LL LET YOU HAVE MORE OF MY WORLD-FAMOUS SPAGHETTI!!

[and if he doesn't, he'll probably get spaghetti anyway. It's both torture and incentive!!]

[thebonezone]

[THE MOST COMPELLING OF ALL ARGUMENTS]

and he means it, too.

[but also that's totally not going to work, which sans knows because sloth is just his douchier clone, apparently. will he point that out. hell no.]

[vicedirector]

Cripes, that wasn't spaghetti, it was a damn biological weapon.

[ giving a small shudder ]

[detanimetion]

[ugh Sans communicate with Sloth using the power of your fellow douche language. Undyne will probably get nowhere too because the only time she ever got any meaningful info from Sans, she had to die.]

I'd say because it's the right thing to do, but I doubt any of you jerks care about that! But if Katerina really did summon all of you and you're being forced to work for her, then you should want her dead as much as we do! Aren't you tired of being used as a tool?!

And also the spaghetti thing, that too. I have more. We'll do it.

[friendboned]

[UGH..... even if Sloth is a jerk who killed his brother, Papyrus can't help blushing a little. His spaghetti... a biological weapon of deliciousness?? WOWIE.]

[These sins just can't get enough of him, apparently]

YES... YES! A WEAPON OF AMAZING POWER! THE SAUCE!! THE NOODLES!! EVERYTHING NECESSARY TO ATTACK YOUR TASTEBUDS... WITH THE GREAT PAPYRUS TOUCH!!

I-I SEE YOU FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT IT, SIN...

[thebonezone]

[ok he'll do the douche language thing later because right now he's busy muffling his laughter because papyrus is the greatest. also:]

bro, you can't date my murderer.

[FOREBODEN]

[friendboned]

[...yes, Sans brings up an excellent point.]

[Papyrus has to turn away from Sloth... dramatically..]

FOR ONCE... MY BROTHER IS RIGHT!! NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOUR FEELINGS ARE FOR ME... NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME AND HAVE ME COOK FOR YOU.... I CAN'T GO ON A DATE WITH YOU....

....UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE TO MY BROTHER!!

[vicedirector]

I don't date.

[ said pretty flatly ]

1/2

[friendboned]

[.....ah.... so that's how it is]

[friendboned]

Y-YOU... WANT ME TO BE THE ONE EXCEPTION TO YOUR RULE?

BUT NO!! I CANNOT!! UNTIL YOU MAKE UP WITH MY BROTHER.

[vicedirector]

[ Belphegor also laughs.

A lot.

This is the most emotion he's shown the entire time he's been here, even more than when he went up against Sans. ]

Hahahaha, wow, you've really got it backwards, lady.

[ For a just a split second, something seems very wrong and unnerving about him. Kind of a weenie? Yeah. Fun to toss around? Definitely.

Still a fucking demon? Of course. ]

If you think someone like Satan would tolerate being on a human's leash, I don't know what to tell you.

[ He shrugs, in an almost irritatingly serene manner. ]

[thebonezone]

[...yeah sans fucking told undyne earlier katerina wasn't controlling them. sigh!!! he shoves his hand in his pockets deeper. he has to go Douchier. or whatever]

look. your door showed up here. i'm guessing there's a game reason for it? that or you were invitin' us to share in your naptime, which is nice an' all, but i gotta admit i'm still a little bit bitter over the whole murdered thing. so it's a hard pass for me.

[detanimetion]

[UGH SHE TRIED SHOUNENING HER WAY TO VICTORY WITH SPEECHES OF JUSTICE but it never fucking works]

Satan's a weak coward who runs crying for help the second she's in any actual danger in a fight she started, so yeah, I think she probably would do anything to save her own sorry skin! [MASSIVELY GRUDGEWANKING THIS TO ETERNITY TBH]

And the fact that you're all going along with this sick game at all seems a lot like a leash to me!

[vicedirector]

Oh, please.

Haven't you ever heard of ritual sacrifice?

[vicedirector]

[ And then turning to Sans. ]

That, I don't know. No one's ever managed to get all seven of us together like this, so it's probably something to do with that....?

[ so helpful ]
