time for some re-ass-surance

[journalname]

[It's been a little while since Asgore did anything relating to the afterparties, and that's something he intends to correct today. Several hours after...everything that that execution was...notes in a neat script go out:]


If you do not wish to be alone, please come to the bar. I will provide food and drink in addition to what is there.

- King Asgore Dreemurr

[Even King Fluffybuns knows that people need booze after a day like today.

He indeed hasn't seemed to touch the alcohol at all, but god knows there's plenty available. Have at it, people who know more about mixing drinks than him. If you don't want to make your own, there's always the tea and coffee set out, as well as some simple food: soup, sandwiches, and two pies. One seems to be berry, and one...well, it looks a little like a pumpkin pie, but it's not quite the same color, and it's garnished with a couple of cinnamon sticks.

Maybe it's some recipe of Asgore's.]

How... recently is recently for you, big guy?

[journalname]

Only the last week or so.

[.....] This week, really. It has been a long one.

[arebetter]

Ah.

[ She gets quiet for a moment, takes a bite of pie. Looks at the bandages on her knuckles. ]

It sure has, huh?

[journalname]

Indeed. Perhaps the next will be...easier to manage.

[arebetter]

We can only hope. I know I'll be just fine with my family being safe. No more stupid angry calls to the Risen.

[journalname]

Did you get in contact with them again? I am afraid I...missed the opportunity, this week.

[arebetter]

Yup. We had a great talk, I made a stupid offer, it was awesome.

[journalname]

Yes, they are rather...difficult.

[It's clear that even Asgore is having to work at not saying something rude about the Risen]

What did you offer them?

[arebetter]

Difficult is a word for them, yeah.

[ She sighs. ]

Okay, to preface this I was really, really angry.

[journalname]

...understandably so.

[where are we headed here]

[arebetter]

I... offered to be a second Transmitter. Since I don't have it in me to... actually kill anyone.

[journalname]

[..............damn, Pizzazz.]

And how did they react? [because it's pretty obvious they turned her down, right?]

[arebetter]

[ girl cares about her family, what can she say? ]

They laughed and said they "don't need that kind of bargain." So that felt great.

[journalname]

...it is fortunate for you, you know. The Transmitter's...position...seems terrible.

[arebetter]

I know. Heh, don't worry, she chewed me out for it later herself. I just couldn't think of a different option.

[journalname]

...I understand. It was the cruelest incentive yet...but you should not risk yourself so.

[arebetter]

It's what I had to offer. But I'm glad they said no.
