Is Flaps’ timeline still out there somewhere? Does he want to go back to it, and would you let him if you had the ability to do so? If you had to go back to your world, or die, or never see Flaps again…would you give up your happiness for his?

* well – i might as well answer this one now, runi left it for me

* my timeline actually is still out there! perfectly intact, post-pacifist, all that. I’ve been keeping an eye on it for as long as runi and i have been joined.

* it’s…. restarted a few times, but never before the end of the line. the last save made was just after busting the barrier, so things just kinda…. roll back to there whenever frisk kicks the bucket.

* as for my happiness – i’m actually perfectly happy not being involved with my timeline anymore. There’s more that I can do in the void as far as helping people go, and…. well. i wouldn’t be around a lot of the people i’ve grown close with, either. and i don’t want to lose any of that.

* my timeline’s done really well without me, and i’ve done fine with not interfering, so…. i’m really happy where i’m at.

You killed Flaps’ followers shortly after meeting Flaps, yes? Why so? How could they have gotten in the way? Are they dead forever? Does Flaps miss them?

* { they aren’t dead forever, no. they’ve been back and around for a while – though i think they’ve more recently gone dormant. }

* { we needed something that would be able to survey timelines while not strictly being part of one – the followers were something that would work perfectly, but in the state they were in, they were still bound to the void. }

* { killing them was the only thing that was able to unbind them, and i reworked their code into something different, and sent them out on their way. }

* { i didn’t take into account that we’d lose communications with them, though, and.. well. once they remembered what they were made to do they weren’t too happy. }

* { that whole incident is actually what kicked off flaps being in contact with others in the first place. }

Well, that certainly was a nice story! I’m assuming that after you got stuck in the room you met Flaps? You made a deal with him so you wouldn’t be lonely, and so he would have more freedom, yes? Did you have any idea what you were getting into? Would you still play the game the way you did, and make the deal with Flaps, knowing what you know now?

* { mhm. well – yes on the fact that i met him after getting trapped here. }

* { we made the deal because we knew neither of us would survive otherwise – he was near dying and i was almost out of energy to keep myself alive in here. so we decided to just…. fuse our code to that of the room. i’d handle the nuances involved in being able to manipulate the space, and he would remain as the actual present being. }

* { seeing as, you know. gasters are almost all you see here. }

* { if i knew what would happen – everything leading up to how things are now? }

* { i’d do it without hesitating, i think. }

Did you play the pacifist route on all your runs? What was the last run you ever did? True or Soulless Pacifist?

* { i only did two runs – the first was pacifist, the one where i got brought back to the start on. }

* { the second was a complete pacifist, out-of-the underground run. i never planned on doing more past that. }

At what point did you and Flaps realize the futility of trying to make everyone happy, and the importance of looking after yourselves first? I applaud your progress…what made you two try so hard in the first place? How did you two become aware of other voidspaces and timelines?

* { well – we realized that first bit fairly recently. he hit rock bottom, and he just…. couldn’t get back out of it. it’d always been easy for him to bounce back, but it never bounced, and it took us a couple months to realize that Hey, That’s Kinda Bad. }

* { the original decision was his, though – i was dormant for a long while. i only started waking back up once he started leaving the space. but he had known about all of that before he even found me in this particular space. }
