The intense urge to just say "you can't" when someone says they could fight you...

[legendforth]

Really, he'd thought that might have finally done something, yet, it seemed to be treated as nonchalantly as all the rest of their exchanges. The fallen prince had been ready to curse himself for finally showing anything but that facade, though now he was going to have to serve tea for Moonflower instead.

"Right, right. Tea it is, then."

It had been a rhetorical offer, of course, but he did have some manners. ..Not really, but now it would feel silly to not follow through on the offer made. So, he made his way to the kitchen of this old home, and began the work of getting the tea going in the kettle.

They weren't really sure what to say now, of all things, having been so cruel and being met with a smile in turn. Things felt awkward, rather than fulfilling, now. They thought it would feel cathartic to lash out... it really hadn't. Why was that? It always did, for awhile, at least.

"There really isn't much to know," they spoke up from the kitchen. "Really. I was stupid and died."

Had Asriel ever confessed to having died before? They joked about it, at times, but she wasn't sure if she'd ever said it flat-out.

"My best friend and I had a plan, but I chickened out; and so, we died. Years later, something else came back.. and, well..."

There's a beat, before the goat sighed and made her way back to the sitting room.

"I'm not a good person, y'know. It really would be best if you just forgot about me already. I could.. well, I could hurt you."

Did Asriel not want to hurt them? The thought briefly occurred to them that, somewhat, they felt remorseful for snapping like they had. Being faced with kindness in return was so jarring that it must have shook up some old dust in here somewhere... Memories of what being nice was like, once, maybe.

"You're playing with fire trying to be friends with me. I've killed all the friends I've ever had."

moonflower doesn't seem to flinch, at least outwardly, at the other's outburst, instead there's an expression of thoughtfulness, thinking. his hands carefully fold at his front, as eyes wander elsewhere, away. 🍰 " for the record, i do not think anything is wrong, per-say... but, you say there is nothing here to know, yet at the same time, i do not know anything of you? well... if we're being honest, i don't think i know you, either. " he twirls some fur with a finger, absentmindedly. fidgeting. his tone is shockingly calm, despite the tensity of their conversation. 🍰 " but, i'd like to. if you wouldn't mind, at some point. as, if it is any -thing, i've become quiet comfortable with 'nothingness' over the years, as a general concept, anyway. " there's a soft smile, again. 🍰 " ...and, well, i'd love some tea, if you'd be so kind, of course. " 🍰

[legendforth]

I love how insane that mask off feels for people that don't know I've been writing this fucker since before Deltarune even dropped--

[legendforth]

The fallen prince had froze on the spot when his 'pretending' was called out, the only thing that did move was his eyes. Which, having been frozen in smug casualness, had shot open to stare at the other. Just a little too wide as he let Moonflower talk on and on, about how he did the same, about how he doesn't feel any different because of that, and how he 'cared'. He cared. About what? About who.

"I don't have to pretend?" He finally spoke, head limply falling forward as smile stretched too wide, like someone had gashed across his cheeks to allow all that nothingness be exposed within. "What would I do then? There's nothing here, y'know."

It was true that he was so rarely blessed with the ability to feel anything positive, let alone anything at all, but the negative emotions came far- oh, so far- easier. Like the bubbling anger rising to the surface at the other's words. How he didn't care about not being able to reset should his harsh words be taken the wrong way anymore. Tired of going around in circles trying to figure things out.

"There's no 'Asriel', there's no 'Flowey'- those are all just roles, and I'm playing my part." That stillness was replaced by trembling now, whole body shaking like something might shatter out of them at any moment. Like, if he was pushed, something might just go pop. "There's not even anything left to care about, is there? You don't even know me. All you know is Asriel this, Asriel that, and yet the second I don't fit that mold, suddenly there's something wrong, huh?"

This happened before, didn't it? Flowey had tried to play pretend with Toriel, once, too, and got such a similar response that it just made his nonexistent blood boil.

"There's nothing here to care about, it's all dead and buried. So, as much as your little song and dance about caring is oh-so-pretty, I think I will pretend, thank you very much."

And, just like that, all that anger is gone again, as that chipper little tone came sickeningly sweet back to his voice and demeanor.

"Golly gee, sorry about that, I really must have woken up on the wrong side of the flower patch, huh? Maybe I should get myself some tea, do you want any? I think there's still some boxes in the cupboards."

moonflower's expression changes subtly, he had noticed the odd shift in demeanor from the other, and his head gently tilts. hum... sure, the words were nicer in theory, but something still felt. off, here. he wasn't stupid, after all! or, rather, not that stupid, at least. there's a pause, simply taking it in, just for a moment. 🍰 " ...aw, you don't have to do all that... " a mumble, then said clearer, " i can tell when you're pretending, you know. i do the same, at times. " the darkner prince fidgets a bit, " i apologize, that i made you feel as if you must do such. " 🍰 a beat, searching for the right words, or an attempt at them, at least, " it's fine, if you can't, ah... feel the same way about things, as i do. you've told me, i'm aware of such. it doesn't make me feel any different about you, though. you know that, right? " 🍰 " no matter how you are, i do still care about you. and, even if i don't under -stand sometimes, i'd like to still try, if you'd allow me...? " another pause, " ah... i didn't mean to talk so much! sorry, sorry, i know you don't particularly like all that sappy stuff, i just wanted to make that clear, i suppose. that's all! " 🍰

[legendforth]

"It was a way to sate my boredom, I suppose, but then it got so noisy. The last thing I want to deal with is a crowd." It's a lot harder to manipulate a group, of course, and that had made him admittedly prefer more solo interactions.. really, now that he thought of it, perhaps the prince ought to work on that. Moments like this really do make him miss the abilities he once had.

Either way, now he's being looked at with a more genuine expression. Asriel must have struck a nerve there, at last. Asriel. A name that, while it was supposed to be his, took some effort to not flinch away from. It didn't fit him, really, and that feeling just became all the more prominent at times.

Asriel doesn't come back from the dead, after all, it was never something he did. Asriel had friends.

Which, even now, he wasn't quite sure if he did. Something that troubled him, even if it shouldn't. Just like that expression, which should have finally given him some satisfaction, troubled him, too. What he wanted to do was lash out and be done with it for now, though part of him thought better of it. There weren't any retries anymore, despite his wants.

"You're tooth-achingly sweet. It can make someone nauseous if they aren't ready for it." Really, he meant for that to come out a little nicer, and so his whole demeanor shifted to try and match the energy he meant to give off with that.

"You're just so vibrant that it can be a little painful for someone so used to the dark, y'know? Give a guy a break, I haven't seen the sun myself in a thousand years, so it takes me a bit t' adjust, see? I just 'woke up', ya gotta let someone shake off the post-death yawning void feelin'!"

" sure! but, you used to visit me in castle town at times when it was less... busy, so i suppose you could consider it returning the favor, at least, no? " eyes lightly roll at the accusation next, a light sigh as hands settle on hips. 🍰 " that is not what i meant, and you know it... and, i do more then count flowers, i promise i do! " a gentle laugh, now muffled behind a polite paw. 🍰 " allow me to re-word, while it is nice to get away from stuff at times, i do genuinely enjoy your company! even when you get, ah, mean. " " ...is my own company truly that terrible, asriel...? " brows furrowed, he still smiles, though there's a hint of genuine nerves to it, it'd seem. 🍰

[legendforth]

Jeez, this guy was an oddball, huh? Still, not the weirdest person the dead prince has had the misfortune of dealing with. So may as well play ball until he's bored of them; they could figure out what to do with them then.

"Oh, yeah, some people got so used to staying in the Underground that they never really brought themselves to leave. You'd have t' go outta your way to see many of them, though. If you just went down the shortest route, someone cleared that out ages ago."

The joke might be lost on anyone but Asriel, of course, but it brought some amusement to him nonetheless.

"So unless you want to go hunting for monsters, you're probably just stuck with your good pal-" what should he call himself, actually? A thought that briefly made the boss monster pause. "Flowey."

Right, this was going to be on this person's channel, so it would be best to not raise too much suspicion by using the name of the face he's stolen. Not that many people even remember that name now...

The stranger didn't so much as flinch at the monster's shocked screech & jump, merely staring at him recompose himself, only acknowledging the jumpscare at all when Asriel mentioned it- giving him a simple "Oh, I'm sorry" apology, as if he somehow didn't realize even after the scream that's probably still echoing in the ruins.

Moving on from it just as quickly at the question back, too.

"Well, I can't say I have a whole lot to go on, but I've seen some strange things down here that I don't think are normal, considering how abandoned it seems." He answers, albeit vaguely, keeping his camera at his side to show no recording is happening. "Do you know if anyone else is down here, or should it just be you slash us?"

[legendforth]

"I'll have you know I'm just fine being alone, thank you very much. Besides, there's some stragglers down here that refused to leave, so I pester them every now and again." Still, he knew by now that it was a lost cause trying to reason the goat away. Reason seemed like the last thing the prince would listen to.

If he wasn't so apathetic, Asriel might have done something drastic by now, but he'd be lying if he said that he didn't appreciate the filling of dead air.

"But, oh, I see how it is. I'm just the excuse to get away from all those princely duties, hm? Shirking your flower counting duties to bother me now, I'm honored."

" aw, that's a surprisingly sweet thought from you, even if i know you're being sarcastic, and all! i just worry about you, y'know? " 🍰 " i know what it's like to be alone, of course, so i just think it's nice to try and keep you company when i can, yes? " a hum, he lightly claps his hands together. " (plus, anyway, it's kind of a nice excuse to get away from everything for a bit...) " 🍰

[legendforth]

The second most queer person he knows has formed a parasocial relationship with him and nothing he does seems to scare him off. Tragic.

[legendforth]

"I swear, if you're going to be here every time I come back from the dead, you may as well get your own room."

" hiiiiii, asriel, hiiiiii !!! ❤︎ " he didn't forget, his mun was just asleep, it seems. 🍰

[legendforth]

Writing Dess is going to be so tricky because lbr it's going to be a flashbang to any and all DR muses at best. Haha, oops!

[legendforth]

There's a sound between the bleating of a goat and the caw of a large bird as the startled goat-like monster leaped away from the tap on their shoulder. It wasn't very often that someone was down here anymore, much less without Asriel noticing them up until now. Did they just... drop down that damn hole? Somehow walk all the way through the Underground down to this decrepit dump of a ruin?

Either way, consider the goat rattled. An annoying thing, for someone who was once the most powerful thing around...

"Golly, you sure gave me a fright, pal!" He began, brushing some dirt off his jeans' knees. "What local phenomena would there even be to talk about anymore? Much less anything I could tell you."

Channel? Like.. television? The last thing Asriel wanted was his face plastered on screens, really, but it could be funny. That's the problem with losing his powers thanks to that blasted kid, really, he can't have half the fun he used to.

"Excuse me." A voice breaks the silence accompanied by a tap from behind- a lone figure standing there, almost unassuming if not for the camera in their hands and mask on their face.

Also, how did they get this close without making any noise???

If they're aware of any concerns their appearance might cause, they don't show it, just continuing on regardless of reaction.

"I'm recording a video on local phenomena for my channel, and I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to do an interview?"

[legendforth]

It has been. 10 minutes.

...Fuck, I'm out of excuses to not write here now, aren't I?

[legendforth]

Honestly, the need for abouts is probably what's going to keep me from writing here for Awhile. I'm absolutely trash at those.

ll. This blog is private. Private means that this blog is mutuals-only! This shouldn't scare you off from following me, as I'm not too selective with who I follow back under most circumstances. However, if I don't follow back, please don't take it personally, alright? It's for my own comfort if I don't follow back, or perhaps even block. Everyone is allowed to decide what they're comfortable with, so please extend that hospitality back to me, a'ight?

lll. I block personals/non-rp blogs unless they're clearly labeled to have an rp blog attached to it, or if it's a personal of.. well, someone I rp with. So if you're a personal without rping ties, know that I shall explode you with my eldritch powers.

lV. I am more than willing to write crossovers, given the circumstance, along with eager to write with any OCs people may have. Feel free to throw whomever you wish my way within reason.

V. I don't mind reblog length, as it's entirely understandable that one's writing ebbs and flows with a thread. you are under no obligation to match my length should i write too lengthily nor do you have to "trim the fat".

Vl. reblog karma also isn't something i mind. i understand wanting to use an inbox meme or starter but not having any idea what to send yourself. all i ask of you is to reblog from the source when applicable or at the very least not ME.

Vll. i do my absolute best to not engage in drama. i block when i need to block, nor do i soft-block. unless someone has done something truly illegal, i will abstain from any call-outs. similarly, please do not come into my inbox unless i am interacting with someone Notably Corrupt. i am not aware of every name and url under the sun. you can block and blacklist tags if you simply do not like someone, as can I.

Vlll. on that note, i do not soft-block, as i said. if i am ever unfollowed or vice-versa, simply assume it is of human or technological error. please contact me and allow sufficient time for me to reply/see your message if this occurs. unless you are blocked, it was some form of accident.

lX. Besides those, the standard roleplay etiquette applies (godmodding, trim your posts, etc.) here on. I do no have any triggers that should come up, but kindly let me know if i missed one of yours. it was surely a mishap.
