The skeleton straightened his posture and firm in front of the vampire hunter as he spoke to them. "You can't spell prepared without several letters from my name!" he insisted as he gave off a surprisingly focused look. Papyrus may have been goofy, naive, and even a little credulous, but he was also hard working and steadfast.

Frisk said nothing, but if the vampire hunter looked into her eyes, he would see the fires of determination. Frisk's soul may have been weak, having never gained any EXP or LOVE, but she had strength of a different kind that made her special.

(can't think of anything for Efina so i'll just hold off on posting for her)

In the hallway with Palutena, Midna, and Pit. Palutena listened to Midna's description of her kingdom. The description of it being a place sort of 'inbetween the light and the darkness' sounded odd, but remarkably similar to various concepts of things such as Purgatory and various other realms that the Goddess has heard and read about. While the sound of her magic and culture was also intriguing. It was giving Palutena a bit of a sense of where Midna hails from. Truly interesting.


"I see. Your kingdom sounds like it was... rather balanced." She replied as she kept walking a little bit. The tone of Midna's voice made things sound as if... there was something troubling her a bit. Though before she could ask anything else. The voice of the ever familiar shorter skeleton brother could be heard right around the corner.


"they may be called stairs, but that doesn't mean you should be standing there starin kid." Sans spoke in his rather casual, jokeful tone to Pit who was standing there looking at him with a bit of a cautious glare. The short skeleton spoke just loud enough for the Goddess and Twili to hear. In fact it was almost as if he was timing his little joke for that exact moment, as if he was trying to interrupt the two.



Meanwhile with Team PAPYRUS NYEHEHEH!!!

Julius sighed before giving his group a slight smile. He was thankful in how the reassured them of their skills and powers along with a bit of their history. Toriel seemed honest and heartfelt. Papyrus seemed equally as honest and even downright eager and loyal. The Vampire Hunter could tell that Papyrus was truly devoted to helping his new friends.

Frisk on the other hand. When Julius looked into her eyes he could see a familiar spark inside her. One of... determination and passion. One that showed she was ready for anything they will come across.

Julius was impressed and thankful with his team. "Well. I guess now that we're ready we can go on ahead. I would say we should make a team name, but sadly I just can't think of one. Aaanyways. Let's go." He commented as he then pushed open the door into the next room...




Paris, France

Wily understood what Carmelita was saying, and with a sigh of relief he thanked her. "Thank you. It's relieving to know that someone is on my side." He spoke as he walked up to his computer where he then turned it on. As he did the screen powered up and immediately Wily began searching.

"Now you say Toad Man is the culprit correct? I have not heard from that Robot Master in a rather long time. I'd say about two months at most? He's not my creation. Rather he was created by the man Dr. Cossack. Another roboticist from my world, though he was nowhere near as hostile as me... until I had well..." Wily paused as he began to remember the rather horrible thing he had done to that kind Doctor... Well let's just say held his daughter hostage for reasons I'd rather not say. Though Proto Man had managed to thankfully save his daughter and I was soon stopped. Now that I think of it karma must have been trying to tell me to change my ways from the beginning... That is if Karma is even a thing" Wily continued with a bit of a somber tone as he typed into his computer to try and find anything about Toad Man's whereabouts.


"Now thankfully I do keep track of all the known Robot Masters in the world currently. Even ones that are not my own. All I have to do is do a little bit of research and... Oh. Oh dear this is interesting. Toad Man's location isn't in my database. It's as if the tracking chip I had implanted in him has gone offline. In fact it has been offline for a month now. That's around the time some Missing Property reports from the Sewage Treatment Plant he worked at were being filed to the police. Tell me Ms. Inspector, do you recall any such reports from the Sewage Treatment Plant?"

Henir's Time and Space


Flowey chuckled at Glaive's remarks, tilting his bulb at the masked man.

"Accomplished? It's actually really easy when those you're trying to kill don't reset at every chance they get." Flowey spoke.

"Why do you even care about such things, hm?" Flowey's smile grew to almost disturbing lengths. "You know, if I were to take a guess, i'd say you're trying to stop me. Or is it something even worse? Becaue either way, i'll make sure that won't happen. Because unlike before, i'm actually quite a bit more powerful out here. You'd be amazed what people think of me. And as one might know, with belief comes power. At least that's what I learned from those weird fellows in the east."




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Henir's Time and Space

Glaive was entertained by Flowey's assumptions and guesses. In fact it made him show a bit of emotion as he chuckled with quite a bit more emotion than he usually shows, all the while he placed a hand over his mask where his mouth would be. The master of time and space was not intending to stop Flowey rather. More or less he was wanting to ask a favor of the little killer flower.

"Oh don't be so quick to judge. I may be aware of what you plan to do with the human souls you collect, but that doesn't mean I'm actually intending on stopping you. In reality I actually require your assistance with something... Something that I NEED done, and the thing is you might actually enjoy it." Glaive spoke as he looked down at the flower before turning around as if he was about to walk away. "Also don't worry about not getting anything, because I assure you that if you do aid me, you'll be getting your human souls far faster than you might think. I might even give you a little something extra if you so desire."




Gensokyo

As Kirby flew closer and closer to Meta Knight, the warp star began to slow down as Kirby began to tug on it in the opposite direction. Acting as somewhat the equivalent of hitting the brakes on a motorized vehicle. Soon the warp star began to come to a crawl before stopping completely quite a bit behind Meta Knight.

It was then that Kirby turned around and began waving his little stubby 'arms' in the air while continuously saying his signature word 'Poyo'... Before he began to make gestures that almost resembled how Magalor and Marx would have moved. He was trying to ask Meta Knight if he seen them anywhere recently... Hopefully he'll understand Kirby. He usually does...

Midna sighed as some of her not so positive emotions managed to slip because of how she missed her kingdom "I think it is still a good place, hopefully that traitorous group didn´t-" she was interrupted by the sudden presence of the smaller skeleton brother, who made the twili visibly cringe at his lame joke "Oh right.. blue brother is here too, and coming in with an aerial attack of puns." the former royal couldn´t help but grin.

On the other corridor, Toriel managed to be at Julius side and murmured so just he could hear her voice "While I am glad that your body and mind are prepared for this journey, I worry for your heart." and as she spoke, the goat monster simply tapped her armored chest, right where her heart would be "Don´t try denying what is true, because the emotions might make you more a liability rather than an asset."

Paris, France

Carmelita made a mental note about Wily implanting a tracking chip inside the Robot Masters ("This case is getting more complicated and gray by the minute") she thought as her mind was now trying to piece the puzzle with this new information "So Toad Man was off the grid in the same time as the Sewage Treatment Plant´s situation, this is not good.." she grumbled "We did receive reports about them, but so far we have found almost nothing, as if the equipment vanished or was easily taken from the Plant. Unfortunately, I´m not in that division of the force, but I could make a call to get the data soon." she explained

The Inspector still had something to speak with the Doctor though "Doctor Wily, from what I´m gathering, there has been equipment being stolen from different places around the city, although the only ones actually discovered are here with Ice Man and the Sewage area." she said while looking again at the map "This looks to be something bigger than simple robbery since the tracking device was taken off and other smaller reports have occurred throughout the city, so, with your experience with ahem.. Major Criminal activity, what theories could you make about this?" she asked trying to keep her professionalism ("Cooper would already have teased me about how much time it has been taking me to figure this thing.. irritating Ring tail")

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Sans closed his eye sockets and smiled at Midna's response to his sudden presence, while Palutena looked at the two before sighing. Clearly not really interested in what might happen next between the two... and she was right to think that way when Sans began speaking again.

"aerial attack? i dunno what you're talkin about. i haven't even began to drop a bomb of puns. don't worry though it'll be a full on air strike when i do. i'm not even tryin to pull your leg either, i just have one hell of a funny bone. in fact all my jokes are rib ticklers" Sans spoke up with a bit of a barrage of puns directed at the group. Palutena tried to stifle her laughter by covering her mouth with her hand. Pit just sighed and facepalmed at the reaction.


The skeleton brother then opened his eye sockets and looked at Midna. "don't worry though. i'm just here to help out some friends." He spoke with a light shrug of his shoulders.




Meanwhile...

As the two entered a spiraling corridor going up, he slowed his pace to match Toriel's so he could hear her. What she said about his mind and body being ready, but not his spirit was... painfully true for the Veteran Vampire Hunter. A part of him really did not want to be here at all, let alone with others who could possibly get hurt. Though it is something he has to deal with if they want to get through this place.

All he could do was sigh at the Goat Monster's remark.
"Yeah... I know. I'm already well aware of that." He said as he slowed his pace as they climbed the stairs going up...




Paris, France

Wily was thinking rather deeply about Carmelita's questions. So much so that he sat down in his computer chair and leaned back to get comfy. "Well... It really depends on what they are stealing. If the equipment being stolen is small enough they might either be using it to develop some kind of robot of their own, or might simply be using the Robot Master's abilities to steal stuff to be sold on the Black Market. Though there is also the strong possibility that they might be trying to build something of a much larger scale. I'll need more time and info on all that was stolen too. So right now all of my ideas are just based on past things that I have done without much info."

Midna could see that the skeleton was having fun by this, but let it go as it was good to have some relief even during a situation like the one they were. "You can laugh Palutena, goddesses know we need to have our spirits motivated" she smirked while going up the stairs.

Toriel on the other paw sighed as she started going up the stairs with Julius "All I´m saying is that I strongly suggest you to speak what you need with those you care for soon, anything could happen in a matter of minutes while we are here" the queen held her trident tightly.

Flowey simply chuckled.

"Oh, do you now? Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Intentions can change quite rapidly, you know." Flowey retorted, ending with a chuckle. "I don't know about the enjoyment part, but i'm listening, just get to the point. I'm not exactly the most patient flower in the world, as you may guess."


Gensokyo



Meta Knight spun around to look at the puffball, maintaining altitude as they watched Kirby's game of sharades. His eyes narrowed as he partially got what Kirby was trying to get across.

"Magolor and Marx, perhaps?" Meta Knight asked. "What of them?"

Palutena looked at Midna as she just couldn't hold back her laughter for too long. When she let loose she let out quite a beautiful laugh befitting her figure as a Goddess. Hearing her laughter made Sans chuckle.

"I swear that i'm done with my jokes. for the joke well is bone dry!" He joked one last time as he walked up to Midna and Palutena before stopping and turning to Pit. Where he then looked at the angel boy and held out his hand. Pit was looking rather... annoyed at the skeleton's puns. So what better way to break the ice and get on Pit's good side with a handshake. "come on. put her there man. you don't gotta be so mean lookin. I just like tellin' a good joke now and then." He said as Pit looked at Sans's before sighing and grabbing it for a handshake.

Upon his hand grabbing Sans, the sound of a rather loud fart could be heard. This caused Pit to blush quite severely as he crossed his legs, but not before Sans pulled his hand away revealing a small whoopee cushion hidden in his palm. Seeing this made Pit quite agitated, but made Palutena laugh as she walked over and placed a hand on her Angel guardian's head.

"Okay okay... Enough fun and games you two. We have to get going now." Said the Goddess as she continued up the stairs. Pit then looked at Sans with a bit of a cautious glare before following Palutena.

Sans however just stood there looking rather proud of himself... or was he? It was hard to tell with his rather static, casual expression of his.

Because of Sans's interruption, Palutena had seemingly forgotten about Midna's story.
Meanwhile...

As the group of Toriel, Papyrus, Frisk, and Julius continued through their door and up their stairs, the Vampire Hunter just shook his head.


"Not right now. It's rather personal stuff that I can't talk about with just anyone right now. No offense intended, but I can't discuss it right this minute. I'd rather wait until we are in a more... clear situation. No wonder what we will come across right now..."



Henir's Time and Space


"Hmm... Very well. Flowey. There is a man I need you to... manipulate. His name is Add. A kid from centuries in the past that got stuck in a stasis-locked realm. Eventually he got out but in a time far more advanced and different than his own. Trick him. Make him think you are his only friend if you so wish. He's quite gullible. I just need you to help give him a taste of... murder. He can easily do the physical labor for you in getting the souls. All the while you can mess with his mind as much as you want. Make him nothing but a mindless shell if you want by the end of it. In the end you will get a puppet with technology and power, as well as souls that you desire. In the end if you manage to accomplish everything I'll even offer you something that could give you even more power than just the 7 human souls." Glaive spoke as he then sat upon a blue cube he summoned out of mid-air.

"You do this for me, and you'll have everything you want. I'm sure of it. You don't have to worry about my intentions either. I've seen the pasts and futures of others. Yet not my own. Because of what I am I have no known future, and yet I have an ever changing past. All because of one being greater than me currently. One I can't compete with currently. Normally I would take the human souls, but I'm unable to obtain their power due to these chains. You however can. As a being with a monster's soul, and... a unique body. You have the ability to absorb souls to obtain the power to kill someone stronger. Get what you need, then come and take my soul if you so wish. I honestly don't care. I'm sure it will interest you. My soul isn't human. Not anymore at least. I can assure you that with seven human souls and my soul you can be unstoppable completely." Said the master of time and space as he sighed. Looking over at the little flower.

"Accept this offer and I'll even assure you my blessing. I'll give you full protection from anything that would be willing to try and put a stop to you. But as long as you help me get this task done. So don't think of this as me asking you of a favor. I'll be helping you out as best as I can, all the while you'll be doing methe biggest favor and honor... Though you don't have to take up this offer. It's completely optional. If you want to refuse you can, but if you do take up my job offer you'll be sure to get everything you want. Because if you get what you want, I am sure to get what I want... and that's freedom from my dreaded curse."



Gensokyo

When Meta Knight showed some understanding of what Kirby was trying to say, the pink puffball smiled as he then tried to ask if Meta Knight has seen them at all recently. Mainly through Kirby pointed back at the SDM then to the forest below while saying 'Poyo poyo!' before shaking his head as if he doesn't have any idea where they went. It was clear by his quick, energetic actions and eagerness to try and get Meta Knight's answers that he HAS seen them.

Flowey chuckled oftly, looking at the ground as they listened to Glaive's words, petals ruffling somewhat as if hands in thought.

"You know, I know you mentioned your intentions weren't worth worrying about. They probably aren't, either, to be honest. But I will ask a few simple questions." Flowey started, before finally looking up to the man's mask.

"Why? Why offer all these seemingly wonderful opportunities, these... shortcuts, all for manipulating some kid? What's he to you? I know there's a catch somewhere. Nobody gives opportunities like that for piddly things. Well, maybe that one skeleton, but he's an idiot." Flowey spoke fairly softly.


Gensokyo


"They're here? Mhm. No, I haven't seen them." Meta Knight responded. "But if they ARE around, i'd imagine they'd be rightly angry, or fearful of you. You DID kill one twice and cause grievous injury to the other, not to mention stop their plans for world domination."
