* I don't wanna have to end up in that dinky jail cell again

D. @wintersgrip.bsky.social · Jun 7

* Also I'm pretty sure my sister is going with someone to the festival...

* I don't know who, but if that someone breaks my sister's heart, I'll break their kneecaps.
* Word to the wise and all that...

* Uh-huh? You gonna be all rested up for the festival then?
* Me and Ellie are going all out for it, so you'd better be there.

* I'll be the jams, obviously.
* I don't know if... Azzy and his weird friend will be there... so I guess maybe Blood Crushers is gonna be one person for the day!

▷ Not much of a conversationalist, were they? Noelle was right, they were acting a little weird. But she'd heard about Asgore and Toriel, maybe they were just... depressed. Not that she could understand, her parents weren't like the Dreemurrs.

* ... what you been up to, Krismas?

* But, I guess that's good?
* ... Erm, not the getting beat up part, the 'adoptive son who takes care of you' part.

* He sounds like my best friend Azzy, heh.
* Always trying to keep me out of trouble, taking care of myself...

▷ Dess trails off. It's awkward to think about him these days.

D. @wintersgrip.bsky.social · Jun 7

* Jeez. I doubt you're even kidding.
* Then again, back when we were still strangers you were asking me to beat you up half the time.
* I wouldn't be surprised if you riled them up on purpose...

▷ Her internalization of Thorn is quite dire, like a stress toy that enjoys being brutally squeezed.

Thorn @bloodbuttercups.bsky.social · Jun 7

-She’s still actively bleeding. It’s just hard to see under the flowers.

She holds up a sleeve to catch the blood.

“He’s made rotting away and being forgotten a pain. I’m eating three full meals a day. I have a home now!”

* Thanks, I'm more of a carnivore than most deer though...!

▷ The doe stops suddenly.

* ... you, uh, have a son?
* Does that mean you've...?!

D. @wintersgrip.bsky.social · Jun 7

▷ Dess looks at the dripping buttercup with a raised eyebrow before snorting.

* ... Pffhaha, Thorn!! You're always so strange.
* I guess that must be a human thing?
* Not to be, uh, humanist, or whatever...

▷ She does take the flower though, licking at the blood a little.

Thorn @bloodbuttercups.bsky.social · Jun 7

“I wouldn’t recommend eating mine without washing them. Unless you want a mouthful of blood.”

Pluck.

Offering them a bleeding buttercup straight from her eye.

“I’m always up for some batting practice. Just not sure if my Son would be ok with it. He’s trying to get me to stop that stuff…”

D. @wintersgrip.bsky.social · Jun 7

* Well, we could always find out.
* I like 'em a little messed up myself...

▷ She nudges Thorn a little.

* Flowers fit well with deer.
* Assuming we haven't eaten them yet.

“I’d definitely be roadkill within the week at least.

I’m told I’m pretty covered in blood, cuts, and bruises.

I dunno, a deer covered in buttercups?”

D. @wintersgrip.bsky.social · Jun 7

* They make you look pretty!
* But yeah, you could pull off the deer look... with some fur, anyway.

* You look like an easily-frightened forest creature, alright.

* Pff... it's probably just Azzy in a stupid outfit then.
* He's such a dork.

* But y'know, his sibling Kris always tried to be more like him anyway.
* Those horns they always used to wear.
* I wonder where those went, anyway?

* I dunno who he is or where he's from or what he looks like but why is his name an anagram of Azzy's?

▷ the long and short of it is that... [ --- Spoilers In Alt Text Because There Is No Other Way To Easily Do It --- ]

We got a tiny sliver of a look at Dess's appearance and personality, and some of what I had personality and hobbies-wise is right on the money but appearance-wise... just from behind her as a dark silhouette, it's not even close, her haircut is obviously sharp, punk rock, and... The Freaking Antlers Man I Swear To God I Shouldn't Have Gambled On That Fan Theory I Swear To Fucking God Man

Now I'm wondering if I should redo her entirely or just the appearance OR not even bother and accept my place as an inferior AU Dess who will eventually be overtaken by real ones when she inevitably shows up
