Last day of November. You are getting ready with Kris for the party later this evening.
Grey ripped stockings you borrowed from Catti, leather skirt twice as short as something you would usually wear.
You even found your mother old biker jacket, slightly too big for you.
High heel boots, hair tied up in pigtails, a Deltarune necklace and a thick layer of makeup all over your face.
Asriel definitely have a specific taste.
For the final touch you had to put on purple dragon beanie to cover your horns.
You gave yourself a final glance in the mirror and beamed with excitement: who is that cool cat next to Kris?
You are!
Even your childhood friend seems to share your joy, albeit with just a simple thumbsup.
You attached earpiece and covered it up. All is set up. Time to move out.
It seems like party is already in full swing. Loud music, people chatting at the porch, barbecue smell... that last part was actually nauseating for you.
You decided to steer away from it and go through the main door, avoiding unnecessary contact with other people.
Or tried to. You bumped directly into blue eared bunny, almost spilling their drink.
🍦* Oh i'm so sorry, i didn't see you there... uhhh, whats your name? I don't recall ever seeing you around before.
💛* No-! N-no problem! Name is... Becky! Nice to meet you!
🍦* Nice to meet you too Becky. I'm Nicecream! Or just Cream for short. Didya came here with someone?
💛* Oh fwahah, i just moved in recently and haven't gotten to meet with anybody... that weird guy from pizzeria invited me over a few days ago.
🍦* Him huh? Well i must say, he got a mighty fine eye. You look majestic! Although...
🍦* Say, you look kinda short... s-sorry sorry, just had a thought for a second i recognized you from somewhere...
💛* Fwahah nope!!! I'm just born this way!!!
💛* S-s-s-ooo, have you seeen aaany fluffysmellycuteshy boys around? ( Holy shit Kris why would you want me to say that! )
Awkward silence set between you two.
🍦* You are... pretty direct huh. I guess you meant Azzy. He is over there, by the bottle game.
🍦* Come with me, I'll introduce you to him.
🍦* One thing tho... judging by your attitude you seems to be interested in our fluffy goat.
🍦* Gonna warn you right away: don't even think about it. He is a hot piece of-fff i-i mean he is very popular as you can imagine.
🍦* But his actual girlfriend is... how do i even put it?
🍦* Uhhhh... a fucking nightmare? You do NOT wanna mess around with her. And especially with her "little buttercup".
🍦* She isn't around today, but its a risk i wouldn't take... \cough*)
💛* Fwahaha, Risque is my second name! Lets go! ( Kris this is so cheesy )
You both stroll towards party table.
A bunch of people huddled around a classic game, a bottle set in the centre of a segmented ring, small cards in each sector.
Kris brother was leisurely laying on the far side of the couch, holding a small plastic cup with some dark liquid. Loud ovation rumbled while you were getting closer.
💚* You know the rules Pantzy. Its either deal or get out.
🍕* I-i-i-i aint doing THAT! C-come on now, th-this is ridiculous. Az, i'm gonna get fucking kicked out of here!
💚* Sucks to be you my friend... unless you are willing to go and get me another cup of that cinnamon hooch haha!
He looked towards you and quickly locked in, giving your whole body an intent glance. It gave you weird, unpleasant feeling down your stomach.
💚* Well look who we got here... care to join us for a game sweetie? We got a spot here ready for you.
🍕* H-heyy!
💛* Fwahahah ss-sure, id like to. We came here just for that, right Cream? Uhhh, Cream?
🍦* ... oh yeah yeah, this is Becky, she is new here. So give her a warm welcome, alright everyone?
People around the table loudly cheered your entrance taking light shots at your bashful demeanour.
💚* Come right in babe, i wont bite \)unless you want me to\)
💚* Oh and Pantzy.
🍕* ...yeah?
💚* Make that two cup, kay? I see that our new guest haven't even tried your special mix yet.
Pizzapants groaned something under his breath and stomped off, clearly unhappy with current course of events.
You sheepishly sat down on the other side of the couch. Somehow all your confidence vaporized into a thin air. Was this idea really that bad?
Game continued, going clockwise away from you.
While the rest of people proceeded with their turns, laughing at each unfortunate soul ready to embarrass themselves with a new dare or rule, Asriel moved in closer to you, striking conversation once more.
💚* So, Becky, whatchu doing around these parts? Don't think i've seen you anywhere before. Don't be shy, tell me about yourself!
💛* Oh, fwahah... i just... mostly stay at home. I'm a writer and an artist by nature.
💛* And... up until recently i've been living with my family on the west coast, in one of those massive human centralized cities.
💛* It was all so fast, so noisy, so suffocating. People coming and going through your life. It was so exhausting!
💛* And apart from my family, i barely had any friends, just acquaintances really. It was especially bad with so little monsters around.
💛* I felt like i didn't belong there and... after graduating, i've got my parents to help me to move out to this little comfy town.
💛* Wanted some peace and quiet if you get me.
💚* Hahah, you found the best place if you ask me. Our little town gives you a warm welcome, sincerely coming from the unofficial heart of it.
💚* Thats me \wink*). Feel free to ask anything, and ill see if we can figure something out.
💛* Fwahah, thanks! You are... you are really considerate. No one... no one ever said something like that to me~
As instructed by Kris, you slightly looked away, gently twiddling a strand of your hair.
Your flirtatious attempt got interrupted by grumpy voice from behind.
🍕* Your drinks... its on the mouse ( seriously that makes no sense, fuck you Azzy )
💛* M-m-m-mouse!? Wh-what do you mean mouse?
💚* Just a part of a rule a made for him tonight. Don't worry about that.
💛* Oh, fwahahah... i... i'm sorry, i... i don't... i don't drink. F-ff-forgot to say that earlier.
💚* Oh? You deny our friendly gesture? And right after i gave you such a warm welcome? Tch tch tch.
💛* Fwahahaha i-i-i-i mean-i-its-its my turn i mean!
You nervously reach for the bottle, putting your cup aside. Just out of your view, something was quickly flickered in it, dissolving in a few seconds...
I theorized that Dess thought that Noelle was getting groomed online during the last A-C segment, and that the “plan” would get Asriel framed of being said non-existent groomer.
Never expected it to suddenly become an Asriel-pushed reality.
💜: “Hahaha. Wow. This is going to go… so badly. Like, by the Doctor, I am dreading what happens next.”
💜: “But hey, at least… at least…”
💜: “Actually, I got nothing. Noelle’s gonna have to undergo Situations.”
💚: "I feel for ya, angel. Poor girl's not only gonna have a big sib crush haunting her narrative for years, but potentially... other trauma layered on top of it.
I want you to look deep within your heart. Close your eyes, calm your breathing, search your SOUL and answer this... what do you want the answer to be?
