Dess: Man.
Dess: That was... rough.
Dess: Seriously, who pissed in her cereal?
Dess: ...
Dess: Let's just go get that chalk, alright?
Dess: Shouldn't take too long.
==================================
Dess replaces Susie.

This would play in the hallway outside Ms Undyne's classroom, after Undyne interrogated Asriel over where the chalk went in front of everyone. Dess intervened, and they were both sent to get the chalk.

Dess: A CITY???
Dess: How did they fit an entire CITY in here??
Dess: Oh, sure, no funds to continue with the choir class, but an entire PRIVATE CITY in the SUPPLY CLO-
???: Ah! Hello! Welcome!
(Dess startles.)
???: Oh, you'll have to excuse me. I didn't mean to startle you like that.
Dess: Who ... are you?
???: My name is Archer. You're Dess, and that's Asriel, right?
Dess: ... Alright, weirdo, why do you know our names?
Archer: Ah, well, there's a story around here. A prophecy.
Archer: One that I'm meant to deliver to you.
Archer: Please, both of you, listen to what I have to say...

Archers design will be revealed sometime soon, but I do not have a fitting image for them right now. But, they are the Ralsei replacement.

Empty City

==============================
Archer: So...
Archer: That's why...
Dess: Yeah, nah.
Dess: That's ... not really in the plans.
Archer: What??
Archer: What do you mean 'not in the plans'???
Archer: You- WE have to do this!
Dess: First of all, no one tells me what I do or don't have to do.
Dess: Second of all, what I 'HAVE' to do is get home. I've got someone I need to take care of.
Dess: I don't have time to play make believe with you. Or Azzy. Sorry Azzy.
(Dess begins to walk away.)

(A rather funny sounding horn blares and draws closer.)
(Berdly crashes his car into Archer.)
Berdly: Hehehehaha! I've only just arrived, and yet, the so-called heroes already abscond!
Berdly: The Empress will SURELY recognize my talent now!

Dess: ...
Dess: Who's THIS asshole?

Berdly: GASP!
Berdly: That's a tier TWO swear word...
Berdly: Perhaps you're a more worthy opponent than I thought!
Berdly: But still. I'm Berdly.
Berdly: But, from your perspective...
Berdly: I'm what you'd call an Anti Hero!

Dess: Right. Whatever, Nerdly.

Land Of Light And Shade

=================================
* Ah! You're finally here.
* Good. Please, make yourself at home, Heroes.

> [About yourself.]
* How rude of me. I've forgotten to introduce myself.
* I am The Hermit.
* Well...
* I don't suppose that's really my name. But it's been so long now, it's just...
* Easier to remember.
* I read fortunes.
* I used to use a scrying orb, but, I've found that Cards aren't all that difficult to read, ho ho!

> [The Light]
* The Light? 
* The one guarded by The Empress herself?
* I've ... seen it, yes.
* I can't say I recommend it. It's awfully permanent.
* You're going to anyways, though. I know.
* Just be careful. Just because I know how things will go...
* Doesn't mean I don't worry a little bit.

> [ Kingdom ]
* Until recently, this land was ruled by four monarchs.
* But then, The Bishop appeared, and, once they heard his message...
* Three of them wanted to spread it. But our dear Empress, she felt she must protect her people from it.
* As such, the others have been locked away. 
* But... the stress of guarding that secret...
* It's driven her mad.
* ...
* You three. You're going to confront her. I've already seen it.
* Please... help her.

> [ Thoughts on the Bishop ]
* My thoughts?
* ... Well.
* It preached finality. Fate. The truth of this world.
* But...
* I've seen fates change.
* And, as far as the truth, well...
* Who's to say what's REALLY true anymore?

> [ Strange Marionette? ]
* ... Ah. Well.
* I would love to tell you three, but...
* I sense more listening ears than I would like to allow.
* Come back... later.

Archer: Why is this happening???
Dess: SHH!
Dess: Calm down! You're gonna get us caught!

Empress: Oh, Nerdly
Empress: I Try To Love You
Empress: But You Make It So
Empress: Difficult

Dess: God damnit, Azzy, a little guidance back there would have been swell.
Dess: ... Can't you say something? Anything?
Dess: ...
Archer: ... It's... not time for him yet. He's not ready.
Dess: And YOU! You and your stupid script!
Dess: You spent that entire time freaking the hell out and almost got us caught! Was getting caught in the 'prophecy'?
Archer: Well, no, but-
Dess: Did you two even hear what that lady said??
Dess: ...Berdly's over there. We should help.


Dess: ... And you said a beast? Around here?
Dess: I sure haven't seen one.
Berdly: Look! Just up ahead!

(Twyne Mama rips a patch out of the quilt, and shakes it around. Almost as if magic, it becomes a little Twyne, and runs off.)

Dess: She seems... fine. Why can't we just pass?
Berdly: I might have, uh...
Berdly: Well, one of the little ones got under my feet while I wasn't looking, and...
Dess: ... god 
Dess: Damnit.
Archer: I think she sees us...
Berdly: She sure does! Good luck with that!

Dess: Ner-
Dess: Berdly. Needs some support right now, I think.
Dess: I'm gonna go hang out with him. Seems like a lonely kid.
Dess: I'll catch up later.

Berdly: Mo- I mean, erm, The Empress, told some people to guard it .
Dess: Awesome, great. Obstacles. I love those. Really, a lot.
Berdly: Oh! Not you, though, they won't mind. You're with me!
Dess: That's... uh. Cool. I think?

Archer: What about us?
Dess: What ABOUT you?
Dess: Figure it out, dude. You're the one with the plan. Later.

Sweet: Well!
Cap: Well!
Cake: Well?
Sweet: If it isn't the dudes!
Cap: The dudes who aren't supposed to come through here!

updated this one because the old one used what was most likely a gaster or even kris motif (darkness falls) which doesnt make much sense with the gaster/angel swap
so i used The Holy instead since its ... The Holy. angels are holy. 

there are definitely no other notable motifs in this don't worry about it.

A Hermit's Tale (Music + Comic Announcement)

thumbnail by drysketches on discord

Happy Anniversary!
As of today, this AU has existed publicly for a year. Wow!

...and all you got was a remaster. I'm sorry about that.

We have stuff planned!! We're working behind the scenes!
I just don't want us to do sprints like we normally do. I want us to post consistently, so we're working on things in a much larger batch and stockpiling them, so that it can be a consistent ride from here to the end of Chapter One. This is taking longer, because we intend to do more than just the music, and I (Hodgepodge) have had some Major Life Events as of late.

Thank you for sticking around. More to come.

HOWEVER, I AM AFRAID,
I MUST REMOVE THIS DISK, FROM YOUR POSSESION.

THE "GAME"
WILL NOT CONTINUE, FOR A WHILE.

BUT I TRUST, THAT WHEN IT RETURNS
WE WILL BOTH BE READY TO CONTINUE.
