Undertale ErroReality: Exploring the Ruins

PREVIOUS SCENE

SAVE DATA LOADED.

Once Frisk had gotten a Monster Candy for later, she stepped through further into the Ruins.

(Music for this scene: DONTFORGET Connected - Ruins Reprise)

Right in the next room, she wound up falling through an unstable floor.

Frisk: Woah!

Fortunately, she landed on a pile of leaves to cushion her fall.

Frisk: Phew! That was close.

Chara: Just be careful where you're stepping, alright?

Frisk: Heh, understood.

She headed through the adjacent door to get back up to higher ground and continue onwards, watching some Whimsuns go by. As she did, the phone rang again.

Toriel: Hello? This is Toriel.

Frisk: Hey, Toriel! Something else you wanted to mention?

Toriel: Well... For no reason in particular, which do you prefer out of butterscotch or cinnamon?

Frisk: Hmm... I'd say cinnamon!

Toriel: Ah, I see! Thank you very much!

She hung up.

Chara: You know, all these puzzles are inconveniences more than anything. I really don't like them.

Clover: I think they're kinda fun! Though, uh... they could be a bit harder.

Chara: "A bit" is definitely an understatement.

On cue, Toriel called again.

Frisk: Hey, Toriel!

Toriel: Oh! Sorry to call again on such short notice, but you don't dislike butterscotch, do you?

Frisk: Nah, don't worry. I can handle it.

Toriel: Well, I know what your preference is, but would you turn up your nose if you found it on your plate?

Frisk: Heh, perhaps.

Toriel: Right, right. I understand. Thank you for being patient with me, by the way.

Frisk: You're welcome!

The call ended again.

Frisk: Now, let's see what this one is about.

She saw a spot with a rock and a switch that could be held down. Seeing what she had to do, she pushed the rock into place, lowering the spiked barricade ahead of her.

"Three out of four rocks recommend you push them."

And one more time, Toriel called Frisk.

Toriel: Hello, Frisk? You do not have any allergies, do you?

Frisk: Thankfully not. I've seen how awful that can be. Why do you ask?

Toriel: No reason... No reason at all.

After the call ended, it was on to the next room in line, full of unstable flooring. After Frisk fell through again, a path without leaves hinted to them and Clover the way forward.

Clover: Oh, I see how we do this one! We need to avoid spots that are positioned over the leaves!

Frisk: Got it! I'll go back up and give it another shot!

She did so, with Clover carefully guiding her along. Once out of there, there was another room with three more rock switches. Two rocks budged without issue, though when Frisk approached the third one...

Rock: WOAH there, pardner! Who said you could push me around?

Frisk: Oh, sorry! Please could you move for me?

Rock: Okay, just for you, pumpkin.

It moved a bit.

Chara: Okay, nevermind. The previous puzzle was a fluke. You would think puzzles required a modicum of critical thinking!

Clover: Well, how would you design this puzzle?

Chara: Better.

Clover: Well, Frisk, I believe in your ability to move these rocks!

Frisk giggled, though noticed the rock wasn't on the switch.

Frisk: A little further, please?

Rock: Alrighty. How's this?

It moved off its path.

Frisk: No no no! I meant stay on the path to that switch!

Rock: Okay, okay. I think I got it.

It moved all the way to the switch, completing the puzzle.

Rock: Was that helpful?

Frisk: Mhm! Thank you, Mr. Rock!

She prepared to leave, but it moved off the switch and raised the spikes again. Needless to say, she wasn't amused with this rock's antics.

Frisk: And please stay on there.

Rock: Boy, you're giving me a real workout!

It moved back onto the switch.

Clover: Talking rocks, huh? Are you sure you're not insane, Frisk?

Frisk: Er, positive.

Chara sniggered in response to that exchange. The next room had a table with some cheese on it, along with a mouse hole nearby. Naturally...

Clover: Squeak!

Chara: You have a... unique sense of humour.

Come the room after that, Toriel called again near the local Spider Bake Sale.

Toriel: Hello?

Frisk: Heh, hi again!

Toriel: I just realised it's been a while since I cleaned up. I was not expecting to have company so soon. There are probably a lot of things lying about here and there. You can pick them up if you wish, but be sure not to carry any more than you need. Someday, you might see something you really like, so you'll want to leave room in your pockets for that!

Frisk: Thanks for the advice, Toriel!

Clover had taken notice of some Moldsmals moving about, alongside a couple of Vegetoids sticking out of the ground.

Clover: Huh. They're essentially water Dunebuds. Also, what's with sentient food monsters?

Chara: Definitely a lot of curious things down here. If that Vegetoid eats a carrot, is it... considered cannibalism?

Frisk: Heh, okay. Let's not get too deep in thought.

The next puzzle along was one where a switch was hidden in a room under the floor. At this point, Chara's opinion on the puzzles wasn't getting any better.

Chara: Okay, I'll say it. These puzzles are incredibly tedious.

Clover: I don't know... I'm starting to fall for them!

Frisk chuckled in response, while Chara wasn't amused by Clover going along with the bad puns.

Chara: Cease.

Finally, there was a puzzle that required perception shifts. Between rooms, the switches shifted positions, as if rotated a few degrees. Amusingly, Clover was rotating themselves on the spot.

Chara: What are you doing?

Clover: Pft, come on! This is pretty fun, right?

Come the last room, and now Chara was rotated a little bit.

Chara: I really don't know how you talked me into this, Clover.

With that, Frisk was almost in range of Old Home, though her path was blocked by a ghost sleeping on the floor (or at least, pretending to).

Napstablook: zzzzzz... (are they gone yet?) zzzzzz...

Frisk: Erm, excuse me?

(Music for this scene: Undertale OST 010 - Ghost Fight)

Napstablook noticed Frisk, hovering up to meet her gaze.

Frisk: Oh! Sorry to interrupt your rest. You were just sleeping in the middle of the path.

Napstablook: my apologies... i'd just weigh you down...

Frisk: Hey, don't say that.

She noticed them shedding tears, feeling concerned.

Frisk: I'll be patient with you, don't worry.

Napstablook: heh...

They were feeling more comfortable in Frisk's presence, before having an idea.

Napstablook: let me try...

They used their tears to form a top hat, in turn turning them into Dapperblook!

Napstablook: i call it "dapper blook". do you like it...?

Frisk: Of course! That's really amazing!

Napstablook: oh, gee... well, i usually come to the ruins because there's not many people around. but today, i met somebody nice. ... oh, i'm rambling again. i'll get out of your way.

Frisk: Well, see you later!

Napstablook vanished from view.

Clover: Napstablook seems nice! I can always respect someone lookin' for some peace and quiet.

Frisk: Heh, me too.

She saw another SAVE point, going over to trigger it.

However, the second she did, things suddenly shifted around her as the area went dark.

(Music for this scene: Undertale OST - But Nobody Came)

Frisk: H-Huh?! What the...?

She looked around in worry, seeing the halls covered in dust.

Frisk: N-No. This isn't real. It c-can't be real... Chara? C-Clover? A-Anyone...?

She stepped through the final path, seeing what looked like her old home on fire.

Frisk: S-Someone... please... h-help me out of this mess...

A familiar figure appeared in front of her.

THE FALLEN: But nobody came!

It cackled in her face as reality began to snap back in.

Toriel: Frisk?

Frisk: T-Toriel? I...

Toriel: Oh, dear... I really shouldn't have left you alone for so long.

Frisk: It's not your fault. It's just... I h-had a horrible n-nightmare just before...

Toriel was worried for Frisk, as this explained why she looked petrified as she came in view of the house.

Toriel: Listen. You're okay now. You won't come to harm any longer. Oh! Well, there's no sense hiding it any longer. Come, my child!

Frisk took a moment to look on at Toriel's house, which had another SAVE point outside.

Clover: This place is so... fantastical? But also sad at the same time.

Chara: It does evoke a certain melancholy... By the way, Frisk, are you feeling alright?

Frisk: A little.

Clover: If something's bothering you, if you feel you can't tell anyone, we're both here for you, alright, pardner?

Frisk: Heh, I guess so. Thank you.

And with that, she stepped through the front door.

Okay, I apologize for whatever I did to get any disrespect here, but if you're not familiar with who Harlow is, let me explain.

--------------------------------------------------

These are excerpts copied and pasted from the DONTFORGET Wiki. Feel free to read from there if you want.

Harlow is the main protagonist of the DONTFORGET franchise, and the human vessel used in Gaster's simulation experiments. They are also the default vessel in DONTFORGET Connected.

They most likely value their peaceful life, as the main goal of Connected 's Story Mode is to return everything to normal with the ANGEL'S GATE. Harlow is a quiet child. They are somewhat introverted, as they prefer to keep to themself, with the exception of their interactions with Asriel and Chara. They also appear to have an obedient nature, as they carry out the various tasks assigned by the Hometown residents without complaint, and they ultimately fulfil Gaster's request to find all of his SOUL pieces.

Harlow has a deep love for their perceived adopted family, the Dreemurrs. They are, understandably, upset by Gaster's reveal that the world they live in is fake, and if they speak to any of their adoptive family members after their encounter with Gaster, the Dreemurrs will comment on Harlow's depressed mood, culminating in Chara commenting that they look like they're about to cry when the player has met all the conditions required to reactivate the mysterious machine. This love for their family carries over to their real world family, as when they see Sans and Papyrus in their respective tubes, they ask, "What happened to us?"

Harlow's SOUL is purple, which is associated with perseverance. This is reflected in their resolve to find all of Gaster's SOUL pieces and return to the real world, despite the fact that doing so separates them from the only family they remember.

--------------------------------------------------

I hope that helps you understand, @akanemnon , and anyone else. Now, Harlow isn't mine, I just thought it'd be cool to see this character in the Twin Runes style. Maybe as an antagonist, who knows? I'm also sorry for spamming, if that is what everyone assumes I have been doing.

I've played DONTFORGET Connected myself. I first saw it on UNDER EVENT and thought the whole thing was amazing. Even after playing it, it's so cool. Just the thought of hanging with friends in the Gamejolt community as characters within the world of Undertale and Deltarune. If anyone deserves credit for such a cool game, it's not me. It's this guy.

Shout-out to him. And to akanemnon for accepting such a strange request from me. Again, I don't mean to do anything wrong here, I am just.... What *am* I doing?

Undertale, Deltarune, Gaster, Sans, Papyrus, the Dreemurs and Chara (C)Toby Fox

DONTFORGET and Harlow (C)RickyG

Can you please, for the love of Asgore, draw Harlow from DONTFORGET?

hope this suffices...

Real talk: I really REALLY struggle when having to draw characters that I don't know. Typically I like to draw characters in a way that embodies their personality. But when I got nothing, the end result just turns out... kinda lifeless y'know?

With that said, I won't be doing requests of characters I'm not familiar with.
