[color=purple][h2]Underground Search Party-Ruins[/h2][/color] [h3][color=lightblue]Main Group[/color][/h3] Skylar accepted the knife from David and she nodded at his request to put it in his dimensional box. While the others spoke, she secretly used the code that David told her and she stowed the knife in that box before closing it and locking it. She was glad to be rid of that knife. Even though she only held it for a couple of seconds, something about it just felt wrong, and she didn't want to hold it more than she had to. Skylar didn't like the feeling she got when Chen praised Papyrus, but she didn't say anything. Instead, her attention went over to the pillar when somebody stepped out and spoke to Undyne, and after Undyne spoke, the person disappeared. Skylar raised an eyebrow and she asked "What...just happened?" Aria, who was in Sans' body suggested "Maybe that was a trap too?" Skylar mumbled "I hope not. If it was, I hope that person is okay," Flowey scoffed "Who cares? That monster probably just got killed," He ignored the glare that came from Skylar. Skylar couldn't help but smile happily at Undyne and Papyrus, as they seemed to be optimistic despite the circumstances, and determined to bring her sibling home. They continued on into the next room (with the room north to it being a room that held the monster candy), where a ring tone could be heard coming from Mettaton's body. She looked to David and she suggested to David "I think somebody's trying to call Mettaton. Maybe you should answer that David. It may be Alphys and Erion," [h3][color=pink]The Trapped (AKA Red's Consequences)[/color][/h3] Red travelled far, and was lucky that most of the monsters that were still there had decided to just ignore her. However, in the core, there were areas where she had to navigate carefully, or she would have been wounded or given small cuts by a seemingly invisible or very small blade. However, there was no such sign of a blade. In Waterfall, the walls were silent. There was no sound coming from the music box, and the stone statue that normally had the music playing was now missing. There was now a heavy feeling of dread hanging in the air. During Red's ride on the boat, the Riverman...or Riverwoman, sang as the boat continued down the river "[color=gray]Tra la la, the Great Earthshaker is free,[/color]" Thankfully, Red faced no encounter, but the dread clings to her SOUL. In Snowdin, Red would have seen many strange things despite the fog that hovered and shrouded all of the town. She would have seen crescent moon like grins with sharpened shark like teeth in the trees before disappearing. She also would have seen sentient playing cards running around and talking to each other. As much as the images she saw would lead one to believe that they were going insane, none were more chilling and horrifying than the images of Frisk turning monsters into dust with an emotionless look on their face, and red eyes piercing through the fog. After those images played, the Frisk that was there had disappeared into thin air. While Red continued to walk through the forest and towards the Ruins, she would hear a cacophony of many whispering voices in her ears. All of those whispering voices, the voices of her friends, were begging for mercy and for the pain to stop, sobbing and crying. Among those voices there was a tiny subliminal message worming it's way into Red's mind; A command that Red cannot disobey. Soon enough, Red had made it into the Ruins. Whether she had been distracted by the voices and images experienced in Snowdin or not, she had passed through the basement, the house, and the halls. In one small crowded room with red leaves, she had passed a hyena monster, who was wearing a detective's coat over a MTT Resort waitress outfit, stuck sitting at a table with a plastic tea set and stuffed animals sitting in other chairs. Red was lucky to not stumble into any traps...that is, until she stepped behind the pillar. As she stood there, a teleportation circle appeared under her feet and stayed under her feet as she stepped out to show herself. Before she knew it, she was fading and she disappeared from the sight of the main group. Red would find herself at the table with the Hyena monster, this time she herself is now stuck sitting to a chair at that table, and her sword was not on her person, and she can't use her magic to get herself out of the trap. At the table a melody seemed to be playing and voices were coming from the stuffed animals singing, "[i][color=khaki]Big Cake, Round Cake, Right in front of me! Who do you think, This cake could be?[/color][/i]" One of the stuffed animals voices sang rhythmically "[i][color=khaki]Could the cake be Zuvari?[/color][/i]" The stuffed animals waited for a response. On the table, there was also a piece of paper that seemed out of place for the childish set.

He smiled and said to Sethlan and Annie, "[color=royalblue]I'm glad that that is settled now. I so wish I had tea to offer now,[/color]" Now, he was waiting with the others for the call to go through and for Annie to see proof that they were telling the truth. However, they had no idea of the hilarious shenanigans they were about to see, or hear, on the other side of the line. After a while, he was starting to wonder if the group was alright, or if they somehow got hurt... Annie on the other hand, remained tense. She was starting to doubt herself and the monsters as they waited for the call to come through. She started thinking about whether she should run or fight if this turned out to just be a trick to get her to lower her guard. [h3][color=limegreen]???[/color][/h3] Once both were inside, and the man had locked the door, he inspected the weapons that Marisa brought over carefully, and he nodded approvingly. He dismissed her first question, "[color=limegreen]Nothing you need to concern yourself with, Miss Marisa,[/color]" He then continued, commending her while he took out his checkbook, "[color=limegreen]Your craftsmanship is astounding. Here is your pay as promised,[/color]" After writing his check, he handed it to her, and then opened the front door so as to indicate that she could leave.
