✶ So, how about it.ᐣ Drop your weapon.

✦︎〔She opens her arms, it would not take much just to strike her down, Undyne can only hope Alphys won't take that route.〕

✶ You, you don't even have to leave.ᐟ I'll visit everyday.ᐟ

ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴᴅʏɪɴɢ, ᴜɴᴅʏɴᴇ @plentyfishinthesea.bsky.social · Aug 9

✦︎〔Undyne faces Alphys, her eyes widen, the grip on her spear loosens...〕

✶ Alphys.ᐣ.ᐟ Why, why are you...

✦︎〔The realization that, this was probably Alphys own doing, floods the officer's mind, she shakes her head rapidly, she wants to believe something else...〕

✦︎〔It, was familiar, her one visible eye widens, before she eagerly hops in, she mumbles on the way down something about that Alphys wouldn't be the one to make such a stupid decision.〕

✦︎〔What's left of Undyne's will, hope and whatever else she has...〕

〔The officer swiftly gets up, getting in the closest bus back to Hometown.〕

〔She looks out the window... a dark, tinted crystal flashes in the corner of her eye for a second, she just shakes her head, before her message finally sends, yet, is Undyne really expecting anyone to come..?〕

ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴᴅʏɪɴɢ, ᴜɴᴅʏɴᴇ @plentyfishinthesea.bsky.social · Aug 8

⭒Despite what I believe, that she can take care of herself...

"Full on titanic, huh?
Is it because Susie dissapeared?
Or something else?
If it is the latter, wish I could relate to comfort ya.
But y'know, mayors daughter, sheltered to an extent...not great with understanding the struggles of tje everyman.
But...can I...help...maybe?"

ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴᴅʏɪɴɢ, ᴜɴᴅʏɴᴇ @plentyfishinthesea.bsky.social · Aug 5

〔The officer seems reluctant to answer, before she takes her hat off and puts a hand in the half of her face.〕

⭒Tell me about it, feels like I just hit an iceberg, but with my life instead of a giant boat.

⭒... but, I'm fine.

〔She chuckles, looking up.〕

⭒Nah, I've been here for a while, but it never rained so much throughout my days 'ere...

〔Undyne shines a smile to Toriel, the officer has a lot of sharp teeth.〕

⭒You, work with garden stuff.ᐣ If ya want, you could lend me a flower, she... she might like it.

✱ Hehe-! That's not what I mean..!

﹙ welcoming the cover, she let damp shoulders be soon covered by a stark contrast to her own fur. ﹚

✱ When you came to town - I was also getting settled. It rained for days straight⋯

✱ You know, my garden has never looked as beautiful since then.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴᴅʏɪɴɢ, ᴜɴᴅʏɴᴇ @plentyfishinthesea.bsky.social · Aug 4

⭒Nah, haha.ᐟ.ᐟ It has been raining before I arrived, really...

〔The sounds of the empty street fill the room, cars passing by in the distance, fireflies flying...〕

⭒Here, miss, it's an officer's duty to help.

〔She hands over her leather jacket, sighing.〕
