⇨ THE PRINCE IS DEAD
Who: Everyone!
When: Day 178 - B1: Day 6
Where: The Carnival and sometimes on top of the Heart of Stone.
What: Now that the Prince is dead and gone, there's a lot left to sort out. As the remaining servants are liberated and those captured by the Prince are tended to, it's time for recovery and goodbyes.
Warnings: Nothing in particular.

HOME GROUND↴ At long last, it is over. The Prince is dead, and all of his stolen Names have been restored - all that's left to do is treat the wounds and move on. For the first day or two, the Ringmaster will be arranging passage for the servants that are left, all of which have remembered their names for the first time in years. The earth elemental that had been trapped and forced to serve as the Prince's manor, the Heart of Stone, is happy to help for the moment. It appreciates the Ringmaster's mercy, and is free after untold eons of imprisonment. Yet, there are plenty of aspects that are far from simple. There are still servants left mad and transformed into beasts, with no easy way to change them back. The Prince's spells outlive him, and those bearing his poison and his curses will have a difficult road ahead of them. Though most of the bestial servants have been rounded up, and a large number that had been reduced to unmoving statues returned, even the Ringmaster can't return them to normal so simply. The next week is for rest and for settling remaining affairs. If you want to bid farewell to any particular NPCs, or assure care is given where it's needed, now is the time to do it. ► A CURE: The Ringmaster will tell everyone simply - there is no simple way to undo another fae's magic. The Prince's powers were essentially on par with hers, which means that those who have been transformed to stone and those that were cursed into beasts and driven insane are not something she can trivially fix. It will take the work of the carnival and a couple weeks of treatment to shed the curse of stone, and the maddened servants are an entirely separate matter. She will do what she can, but for the most part she is arranging for the Prince's servants to be cared for elsewhere. At least for now, the Ringmaster will be animating the stone portions of people's bodies with magic, though those portions will still be a bit clumsy and numb feeling. ► THE NEW HEARTSTONE: In the absence of the prince, the Heart of Stone will be taking over the remains of the Prince's realm and preventing it from collapsing into void. As it turns out, the manor had been an earth elemental all along - a form of Wyld Fae almost on par to the Prince and Ringmaster themselves. How the Heart of Stone was enslaved is a long story presumably, but the Ringmaster considers it to be a sign of the Prince's own depravity. The Heart will be allowing visitors for the first couple days of this period through the portal, but keep in mind you are essentially just walking around on its body. At least the realm has a floor, now, instead an endless abyss surrounding it. |

[What a notion, that one of his hugs might hurt.
Though... maybe she just means surprise would be less good than happiness? But a hug is the best gift he can offer right now. He only came prepared with one gift-wrapped bone... and he hasn't made any spaghetti in ages (he's already doing enough cleaning, without exploding the kitchen a little bit). So that leaves his gift-giving options a little limited, on such short notice.]
You've probably felt this part before, so... I won't make a show of it.
[He'd like to, because the blue bone trick is fun stuff! But, not right now. With Reira, he figured the blue attack alone would be surprise enough, as unused to magic as she seems to be... and with Fl-Asriel? Well, if he's fought Sans before... That really might not be a fun surprise. Hopefully it's not a disappointment.
Ping.]
no subject
Reira watches, silently, at the exchange however. Something is definitely whispering...maybe a few somethings.
But she wants to see which one 'wins' before she notes as much, lest the chance run away.]
no subject
It's not forgiveness. It will be a while before he truly feels forgiveness. What's important now is that these people believe in him, despite everything he's done, they want him around. Asriel doesn't have guilt back but he can miss something so powerfully he knows it was his fault it's gone.
So here are two people, one who went through something similar, another who was Flowey's victim... who didn't care about what was in the past. Who believed his retelling of what happened. They both did (or so he thinks)...
... and they should, because it's the truth. Something grows bolder. He wasn't lying, he was telling the truth! He's not in doubt about who Flowey and Asriel are-- they're one in the same! And everything that happened to him, down to the last detail, was true, no matter if they could prove it or not!
Once Papyrus finally hugs him, or, if Flowey goes in for it himself, he will have learned affirmation ]
no subject
The thing about giving hugs is, normally, you're working with a torso that's at least a foot in circumference. At least enough to bend an elbow around, and touch. Sure, with a skeleton you run into difficulties if you try to hug at spine-level... which is why you go with the ribcage instead!
This isn't an option here.
He settles for offering an arm for Flowey's roots to rest on, and cups a hand around the back of his flowerhead, and pulls the flower to his shoulder.]
Well! Does this work? A hug should be high in squeezability, low in strangulation, and feel like affection. Just holding your stem just seems... Not done.
no subject
Somehow.] ....It's not 'happy', but.... ....That one's nice, [Reira eventually says aloud.]
no subject
He's Asriel. That was both good and bad. That meant he truly remembered all the good times with his mom, dad, and Chara... but he also remembered that his sibling manipulated him into keeping his self-afflicted death a secret, then used his own body to try to kill hundreds of innocent people. 'Chara despised humanity'. And eventually, that despicable behavior was all that Asriel could cling to.
Asriel.
Not some dumb name to make him look innocent. ]
Don't overstay your welcome, Pap.
[ ... a very sassy Asriel who isn't used to hugs like this, but an Asriel nonetheless. ]
no subject
Papyrus grins and laughs, buoyed by this success, and even by Fl- Asriel's playful meanness.]
If I'm overstaying it... Just say the word! And I can head off.
[Rather than float the flower to the ground, Papyrus kneels down to offer a direct arm-to-surface approach. After all, he might just be tsundere about the hug, and this gives him a minute to front and protest and prolong it if he likes.]
I do still mean to try that obstacle course...

... What kind of Death March?
no subject
[Well. The human never used it, and then he disassembled it so nobody would use it in his time as king.]
With ... no marching at all? [Papyrus turns to look over the obstacle course, the way one must jump and twist to get through it.] Really, it's a strange name. But I don't judge a puzzle by its name!
no subject

[ flatly ]
no subject
Gauntlet of Terror is a classic name... [And thus given a free pass from etymological criticism.]
But yeah! Let's all do it! Just watch out for the lasers and fire.
[Papyrus is not a qualified babysitter.]
no subject
.........I don't even know most things, I'm still trying to learn what everyone calls normal things.... [Gosh. ...Also.] Umnh...........
[She's looking a bit nervous.] .............I don't think I can do that one.......... ..............not when I'm still sick, I think... [Yeah that's why.]
no subject
[ makes A Face in her direction that says 'crosswords or junior jumble? which is harder.' ]
... fun and challenging.
no subject
[It's probably Lambert's. He remembers some radio chatter about this, and even being asked if he would use such a course if given the chance.]
But that is why... I'm so eager to try it!
You can watch me go first, [he directs at Reira] and judge if it is, indeed, too difficult.
no subject
...You could both go..? [She's a bit unneasy about that...possibly because she knows the flower has fear but not much of anything to balance fear.]
no subject
I don't know, it seems like Papyrus has this totally handled! Wouldn't you say, big guy?
no subject
...Not really one hand.
no subject
....But definitely do it with both hands first, [Reira decides.]
no subject
[ pfffff okay okay. he'll Stop ]
