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.]

Maybe she didn't have a choice.

[cadmiums]

She dislikes fate as much as I do, so that might be it... But she also told me that she could try to change "what" she was, she just wouldn't like what she would have to do to attempt it.

[ossifragant]

Sounds like she's in her own sort of terrible situation, doesn't it?

[cadmiums]

Yeah. But as ridiculous as it seems right now, I think somehow, someway, we can all find a new start. [ The words don't come easy to him, but he sounds like he believes everything he says. It's a stark change from his view even a week ago, but sometimes you change for the better. ]

[ossifragant]

That would be nice, wouldn't it? Maybe it's still possible.

[He doesn't sound entirely convinced, but he's definitely not here for telling people he thinks they're wrong.]

[cadmiums]

[ ... ]

Does being in love... normally make people feel hopeful?

[ossifragant]

...Young love does that, I think.

[cadmiums]

Mmn, I don't know if we really count as young but that's OK.

[ossifragant]

New love, I mean.

[cadmiums]

That works better.

[ ... ]

I thought I understood Makoto completely, but I only now get why he was willing to fight no matter what.

[ossifragant]

Who is Makoto? You've mentioned him a few times, but I don't think we've discussed him before.

[cadmiums]

He's my best friend and he...he's the reason I'm me. Not only in a spiritual way, I mean. I wouldn't exist without him.

[ossifragant]

I see.

[He smiles, since apparently this is just a typical topic of discussion for Greed.]

Did he... create you?

[cadmiums]

No, but I was created because...I was sealed inside of him.

[ossifragant]

I see.

[He doesn't seem to get it in actuality, but that's perfectly fine, as far as he's concerned.]

Sounds like a better way to come into existence than what I've heard before.

[cadmiums]

I think you get it more than most.

[ ... ]

My...original name is like your current one. A concept an entity, never meant to be human.

[ossifragant]

...Is that so?

[.......]

What is your original name?

[He's only half expecting Ryoji to answer him.]

[cadmiums]

...not here. [ Which isn't a no, he's just not willing to discuss it where others could overhear. ]

[ossifragant]

[...Well. That. Doesn't point to it being anything good.]

You want to move somewhere a little more private?

[cadmiums]

[ He tries to smile. ]

I don't think now is the best time...sorry. But if you ask me again some other time, I'll tell you.

[ossifragant]

[Greed nods at that.]

Of course. I'll keep that in mind.
