But you, my dear? I see a story lit up in your eyes.. Burnin' bright.. Burnin' black.. Burnin' up everything.

[ . . .
They don't look back, to speak. ]

" ..is it, uh..
..Is it easier? When she's further away? "
[ Her voice drops a little, gets a touch less certain. ]

[ ...
They're quiet, for a moment. Lips pursed in thought.
. . .
Eventually, there's a sigh, and a nod. ]

" ..Yeah. Yeah. "
[ ..snnrk. ]
" I think you, uh, know I can kinda get that, I guess. "

[ ..and she falls quiet again, staring out into the distance. ]
-

niel.

Was going to do a full April Fools thing on Toriel where I did Underfell Toriel, but I don't know if peeps would be into that - or if they'd be TOO into it /lh

Anyways. Toriel art warmup ref sheet

" Heh, yeah.. "

[ ..Ah. ]
" ... "
[ A small hum, and they nod. ]
" ..Yeah. A'right. That's fair. "
[ ..gives her an impression, atleast. The kind of thing she can understand. ]

[ ..Snnrk.
A little snicker, tilting their head. ]
" ..Damn, okay..
I see where Krismas got it from, then. "

[ . . .
Wait a second. She straightens out a little, raising an eyebrow. ]
" ..hey, wait-
Don't.. think I've heard a lot about your dad? "

" ... "
[ She shrugs, shoving her hands in her pockets. ]
" Every now 'nd then.
I'm pretty sure it's normal. "

" ..What, you don't get that a lot? "

When you have a bat,

everything looks like a ball.

hiii squidward

" . . . "

[ ..A slow blink. ]

" ..You're pretty damn lucky my mom isn't here, dude.
Pretty sure she would've cut your ass in half for that. "
[ Hard to tell how they. Feel, about this?? They aren't really sure themself, mostly just. Confused. ]

[ - ]

[ *T'WANG.*
It all drops to a halt, and for a moment, there's just. Silence.

..before steps approach, and a very confused December pulls open the front door, eyebrow cocked. ]
" ...
The fuck. "

[ ..Faint words, echoing out alongside. Soft, halfway to just humming along to herself. ]

" (𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬..
..𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵, 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘬..
..𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘢𝘢~𝘺..) "

[ ..Less like a performance, more just..
Entertaining a restless mind. ]

" ...
Wonder if I could..

..Eh. Fuckit.
HEY! AZZ! 'MERE! "
[ She sticks two fingers in her mouth, and whistles. ]

[ Sat out in silence once more, plucked strings ringing out from the Holiday manor. ]

[ holly. ]

god i need to be more active here.

[ holly. ]

yesss come to me asrielings.. /silly

You really are a shadow of what you were back then.
Well, every good thing has to end.

there's nothing wrong .
there's NOTHING WRONG .
there's NOTHING WRONG .

" Then there's your answer. "
[ Hands behind her head, grinning like she's just made the smartest connection in history. ]

" ..You surprised? "

i did that once

[ holly. ]

seeing mention of dess presently / having put on zombie flicks a lot and going "..huh. that makes sense i'll adopt that into my belief system"

they act like they the shit but baby you ain't even the fart

[ ..Someone's retreated up to one of the balconies of the Holiday manor. ]

[ The only proof she's up there is the soft guitar echoing out into the nearby woods. ]

" . . .

Whatever. "

" ...

I bet they'd start cryin'.
Only time they ever shedded a damn tear for me was when they thought I was gone. "

" How long d'you think they'd keep up the posters?
Would Mom want posters up at all? "
