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. }

How much do you know about the canon Undertale game, and how much do you know about the various AU’s, Runiel? Did you see every single piece of dialogue the game had to offer? And because you know it’s all just a game, does that diminish the feelings you have for all these people you’ve met?

* { i never did, no. i’ve… researched a lot of it since waking back up, for sure, but i definitely don’t know everything. }

* { i’ve admittedly stopped paying attention to a lot of AU stuff going on. most of it doesn’t concern Flaps or myself, so it just…. seems kinda pointless to try and get wrapped up in it all beyond whatever people we’re close with are in. }

* { as for if it diminishes my feelings at all – no, not for a moment. this is my reality now as much as it is theirs, and their lives are real. they’re important to me. even the people i hate, i don’t see them as less than myself for originating from where they may have. }

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. }

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. }

Naw, we wouldn’t be bored. We love hearing stories and background knowledge! At least, some of us do…you haven’t told that story yet, have you? I’m still relatively new here…

* { iiii do not think i have, now that i think about it. }

* { i guess it doesn’t make sense now that i look back on it, but. it is what happened. }

* { i uh. i’m gonna put this under a readmore, i think, just. just in case? }

* { so – i was, about. 12, i think, when undertale came out in my universe. timeline…. whatever. you know. }

* { now – to back this up a bit, uh, my family is. was? fairly wealthy. they worked in the computer industry – both worked with a company that was geared towards trying to find ways to make virtual reality more realistic and immersive. }

* { anyways, uh – most of my stuff was set up with a lot of this equipment at my asking, i loved the idea of really getting into my games and i did it with every game i really could. and things worked fine, they never gave me anything that had been deemed unsafe, you know. }

* { but when i got my hands on undertale, i started hearing about like… hidden files. hidden NPCs in the game – the mystery man, the followers, you know. gaster and his group. }

* { and i started to try and get the character name to BE gaster, but each time i tried the game would just reject it. }

* { i started getting into the code to try and force it, for a while, and it worked! and i was happy, but. we did. manage to find the grey room, while using that name, and… }

* { all i can remember past that is blacking out and waking back up with frisk back at the beginning. }

* { we went through things, made it to the end, i figured maybe things would be fine – but when they exited the area past the barrier i just got. yanked out and away. stuck in the void, stuck in a room, all alone. }

* { i’ve been here ever since. }

That’s not necessarily true, Runiel. Flavor text just has to narrate what’s going on in the present moment, right? You could still remember some of the knowledge required for your job, but temporarily stop learning new OOC knowledge. Although it may be temporary, isn’t a respite from it better than none at all?

* { not really. once it wore off it’d just. be pretty crushing, you know. it’s a lot to have lifted from me – but at the same time it’d be a lot to be throwing back onto me later. x= }

Part of the reason you’re so stressed is because of all the power and knowledge you have, right Runiel? Would you accept a magic anon that removed some of your powers, or made it so that you wouldn’t have to be aware of OOC knowledge? That way, you wouldn’t have to stress about the future. Ignorance is bliss.

* { as nice as that would be, anon magic is only temporary. it wouldn’t do me any good in the long run. }

* { besides – i’m still the flavor text. the knowledge i have is needed for me to be able to do my job. }
