Welcome.

The last thing you remember hearing is static.

There were words in there, perhaps, quiet whispers like the rustling of leaves, like the crinkling of paper, like rust being scraped off a knife. The words aren't anything you'll remember, but they're there, and there are a lot of them washing over you, and it might be concerning if it weren't so warm where you're lying.

You wake feeling disoriented, like you've been asleep for a long time.

Of course, it's probably odd that you're waking up just now - perhaps you were in the middle of something important, perhaps you were waiting for something, or maybe you were just going about your day, but even before the whispering came you can clearly remember doing something back home. Can't you? Something else. Something that wasn't looking around the room you've found yourself in.

It's not your room, either. Not the one you're used to.

The room here is grey and white and tile; even if the bed is nice (and the bed is nice, it feels like it's been designed to cater just to you, maybe if you keep your eyes closed you can pretend it's a favor), the room itself is spartan and oppressing. The walls are cracked and the floors are in disrepair, but despite that there's not enough noise - it's silent, the quietness of it pressing in on you, and even if you can't see any cameras you get the distinct feeling that for good or ill, someone is watching over you as you get up.

That might be enough to make you move, to make you not want to stay there. But even if you stick around for a while to look around in there, the walls hold firm despite their decrepit state and the pervasive silence isn't going away - if anyone's in the rooms near you, you can't hear them. If you want answers, you're going to have to leave. Be sure you grab the key sitting on your desk on the way out.

Once you step out of the room into the hallway you'll most likely find yourself face-to-face with other confused people who feel as though they don't belong here either. Maybe you'll find something if you explore together; maybe it's safer in numbers.

Wherever you end up going - and there are several places to go - you might want to check the large room toward the center of the communal area of the building. A subdivided foyer is here; at first glance, it even seems to offer you a look at the outside. Of course, once you've gotten over that particular disappointment, you might want to check out the walls, where you'll find some very interesting information about yourselves hanging on the walls. There's some other framed information that you'll most likely want to get a look at as well, seeing as how it could be the key to escaping this place.

Although, speaking of keys... Despite your best efforts, you won't find any doors. The windows you find here and there are far more durable than they should be as well, and any attempts to break out won't work. It seems you're stuck here for the time being.

Maybe your fellow captives have some thoughts on all of this.

Welcome to Beacon General Hospital.

No, no, I meant your...

[She's making a hand gesture to try to imitate his horns for a moment, then stops herself dead in her tracks. If this guy is so dedicated to being a giant goat person, who is she to shatter his image?]

I mean, of course! Why don't you tell me more about monsters? ...Although I think you're a little too cute for a monster.

[You have to admire that kind of dedication to remaining IC.

Asgore, meanwhile, has no idea what she is thinking and is taking this all at face value.]


Ah - [That seems like a very back-handed compliment, but maybe well-meant? So he's going to politely gloss over it.] - well. All monsters have lived underground for a very long time, so I suppose it is not surprising that you do not know much about us. Are there truly no more stories being told?

I've never heard any stories about friendly underground goat monsters. Monsters make you think about stuff like... the boogeyman or The Ring. Or zombies.

I'm not sure why you'd call yourself a monster, actually.

That is the name my species has always had. I'm not quite sure how humans have been using the word recently - [Though he can imagine] - what is the Ring?

It's, you know, the horror movie with the girl in the TV. You're gonna die in seven days and stuff.

I'm afraid I have not seen it. But there have been more of the V-H-S tapes falling down lately!

VHS...

[Man, tapes haven't been around forever. Those are from when she's really young...]

I hope you get to watch something a little more modern sometime! Like blu-ray. You don't have to rewind them, and the movie's in much better quality. They're expensive, though.

That is probably why humans are not throwing them away. I think we most often get older things, underground.

How come you live underground?

We were imprisoned there by humanity many centuries ago, after they defeated us in a war.
