* Many years ago, MOBIANS lived in peace.
* The hero, Sonic, had encountered Robotnik once again.
Son: That one was almost too easy, Eggman!
Rob: Oh, talk about too easy, eh..?!
* But in the altercation revealed something much more worrisome...
* Following Robotnik to his base, it was found.
* A machine capable of sending one's body and conscience to a virtual world.
* Robotnik had captured every ally of Sonic's that he could think of. And, finally, Sonic had been set in place.
Rob: GOODBYE FOREVER, PESTS.

* Many years later...

greetings, zane here. welcome to Virtualtale! im trying to make this part of the utsc, however that works. i actually have NO idea what the fuck im doing on soundcloud im so confused and scared someone h
i'm really committed to this, and i don't plan to stop any time soon. i already have quite a few tracks for these done so expect to see them soon. unless i fumble on 004... but yes, stay tuned. i know there isn't exactly any basis for you guys to go off of yet, so i hope this soundtrack makes sense in due time.
this is my first time actually making a "once upon a time" for this au, actually. yep, when i first made this au back in 2020, i never even made a once upon a time rendition. lmao
there's also a semi-animated version that should be in this youtube link in about 3 hours or less: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PipSfQxz56k

001. Title Screen

* take your time...
-----------
couldn't fit whisper's name here so just imagine it's under Save Select.
not much to say here, it's a menu theme. i guess i'll mention that i imagine virtualtale to control a lot like a sonic game. the overworld would literally just be a sonic level. there would be at least 2 acts (perhaps with in-betweens where you can tally your rings, score and whatever) for each environment. then the minibosses/bosses would be, well, the other mobians that you choose to spare or hurt. rings are accumulated throughout each level, and carrying them into a fight can either help you do more damage or activate stronger abilities n stuff. i think it's a cool concept. it just needs to be, well, fleshed out and actually done.

002. Options

* Whoops! Sorry to scare you, there.
* Name's... Aether. I used to be an aster, but now I've got no idea what I am!
* Looks like... You're new here?
* Been quite a while since someone's gotten trapped in here.
* Seems like someone has to teach you the ropes.
* ...
* That's me. Your new pal's got you.
-------------------
ghz bg sprite by NinjaCakes (i found it on spriter's resource and recolored it accordingly.)
there's the evil ass flower. fun fact, he used to be a better represented aster in earlier iterations. lotta needle shaped petals. but as i made this sprite, i just decided to have 7 petals (5 petals with 2 [visible] sepals) just to keep it simple.
this whisper sprite was made by AS02X on deviantart. i used to use an old advance styled one by VictorVectorOka, also on deviantart. this one fits a lot better with the style of mod.gen that i'll have to go for, even though there is literally only one position that she's been sprited in. wish me luck with making more... oh, whisper is frisk in here, btw.

003. Pals And Palettes

* Never fear, Amy Rose is here!
* Are you okay?
* *yeah...*
* What an abomination! I'm so sorry about this.
* We don't use that system here nowadays, so please don't mind it.
* Just come with me and it'll be alright.
------------
yeah i dont have much for amy to say here im tired, sorry
this is the first song that uses anything from the old soundtrack, that being amy's motif. this is taken from the heartache rendition and instead used for the fallen down.
whisper sprite was almost completely made by me. this is just the beginning of the struggle
amy's design is kinda based off of ristar. mostly the shoes, eyelashes and color palette.
what'd happened here is aether used the undertale system, a built in way to fight by eggman. while in this au, people actually fight like classic sonic bosses.

004. Warm Smile

* Running through the greenery of a zone once thought to be lost to time...
* It fills you with... nostalgia?
* You also felt your chaos-infused soul... brewing a power you're not too familiar with yet.
SAVE STATE (1) SAVED
------------------------------------
first stage theme of this au. awesome. sonic 2 8-bit ending if it were a zone theme, actually
you can think of this as the mobians' theme, generally. like how the ruins motif is in waterfall.
i never actually realized that was a theme for the monsters until i thought about it some more. it shows up in quite a few cases in which one might assume it's just there for no reason, but i noticed it often occured in places where there's a certain camaraderie for the monsters, such as "don't give up", "an ending", waterfall's section where you read the murals, undyne in general. it's a nice touch.
im gonna try to do a thing where i use specific instruments for specific areas and zones, but i can't guarantee that i won't pull from others sometimes.

005. Homely Hills

* *making progress...*
-----------------------
act clear theme. bit of an odd decision, but i went for this instead of making another options theme, even though i do like making those. this would play after whisper finishes a level in the ruins. based off of Hellfire Saga's act clear theme, except this features the first instance of whisper's own theme.

006. Completion.

* Oh, you lost your Wispon?
* That's no problem, you can test out your actual skills with this... tiny robot model... of Sonic...
* Just make sure not to overkill it. We don't intend to hurt people, after all.
* ...except this one time. Bash it as hard as you can.
----------------------------------------
it's an anticipation replacement what do we expect from this

007. rusty

* How about we try this?
* 30 SECONDS RUN COME ON GOGOGOGO
--------------------------
drowning drowning sinking sinking running running faster faster fasabazascabasabasiasbiarabisbisaraurbaibrib

(better songs are coming soon)

008. Time Attack...?

-------------------
up n at em, ig!
this song is heavily inspired by one of those demo tracks i heard on the GenesiSF.sf2 soundfont folder. im not actually sure where it comes from but it's named Rock. credits to whoever made it, i will find you eventually.
now, it is worth noting that you do not just engage in a critical fight with every badnik there is in green hill. those can just be popped n that's it. this theme is used for less relevant minibosses, like bigger mechs and stuff. where do these mechs come from? we'll see...

009. Rock n' Roll

* (He looks lost...)
* (Maybe I should just calm him down.)
* (Besides, I can't break this wall myself...)
-------------------------------------------
if im being completely honest, i dont really like this one too much, but it somewhat fits bark. i dont imagine he'd have a battle theme too aggressive since he's a pretty chill guy.



i really wanna get to track 79/80 ngl

010. Barked Up The Wrong Tree

* "No... no no no nononononoNO!"
* "This can't be the way it goes!"
* "It... it can't be..."
-----------------------------------------------
kids dont drop into a virtual dimension with a chaos emerald it'll start quoting past owners and potentially a hedgehog whenever you die

011. Try Again...

* Ah, welcome back!
* Did ya miss me?
* Well, you've been pretty busy rollin' around, right?
* Why not take a little stroll with me?
(then they walk)
* You know, it really has been a while since someone last fell in here. Somewhere around 2 years.
* It's not always pretty, but we can usually find ways to compromise! 
* We even managed to rebuild Green Hill!
* Yeah, it's pretty nice here.
* And it's even nicer to have finally found a new neighbor!
* *...?*
------------------------------------------------------
"you know the composer has gotten lazy when its a green hill remix" yeah, well uhhhhhhh         fuck
amy and whisper take a stroll and amy monologues. whisper is intrigued, but definitely does not plan on staying.

012. Strollin' Hills

* *well, i don't truly feel like staying in this zone all the time.
* *i'm looking for the way out.
* ...
* We can get around to that later, hehh... You really oughta check out the triple loops! So dizzying you'll forget where your feet are...
(amy turns the other way)
* Even then, it's always good to... look at the sunset?
* Did you know it's always sunset in the Sunset Hill district?
* Not here, though, it's just a convenient time. Even more convenient that I found you earlier that time, right? I mean, who knows what would've happened if I didn't save you... (rambleramblerambleramble [the music would fade out during this])
* *i'm gonna... look for a way out now.*
* CAN YOU- urgh.
* I willlll... be right back.
(amy runs off into the distance, where constructed ruins can be found)
-----------------------------------------------------
since there isn't gonna be a game for this or anything, i think that the dialogue should properly convey what is actually happening here. hope it makes sense. i'll also mention now that there will be some extra/in-between tracks that are songs for more scenarios.
only had up to track 15 done consistently so songs will be less frequent after that one.

013. Strollin' Hills (yapper edition)

Updated ver that i was too lazy to release lmao

Apportens Mortis: ULTIMATE LIFEFORM

* You know, I couldn't help but feel you've only done so well because...
* Green Hill is so simple. Why couldn't a single one just... stay here?
* But that ends today.
* I'm sorry, Whisper, but I don't want you leaving here.
* Not unless you can...
* Prove yourself to me.
-------------------------------------------
perhaps the situation is too similar to normal undertale. but let's not think about that too much. i do think amy would want whisper to prove herself with her own capabilities. after all, amy is shown to be pretty powerful already. so.

014. Full Circle

* Hm. New face. 
* ...what are you doing around here?
** ...
* Well, given that look on your face, it'd rather not have anything to do with me.
* But the look in your eyes...
* An Emerald holder.
* I'll be straightforward. You are in a lot of danger.
* You'd best be grateful I'm the first to meet you out here.
* ...stay alert.
(chaos warp)

sonic 2 return of shadow neon lights zone pre-2020 version song replacement i miss you. curse you, joenickros....
whisper meets shadow in ice cap, is still shaken over the incident regarding the diamond cutters and shadow androids, so she just kinda locks in briefly.

015. Him.

Frigid Fractals Act 1
* ...chilly. 
* SAVE STATE (1) SAVED
------------------------------------------------------------
special thanks to inky wright. even though it's near completely parallel to your song, still gotta give credits where credit's due.

spriting is easier than i remember it being. well, at least when you have a base to go off of...

016. Frigid Fractals

(fly in)
* You.
* I'll make this quick; I know you wouldn't care about the details.
* In my future, the world is barren. 
* I've searched forever to find the source of this but... Every time I've returned, it's a different type of digital wasteland.
* But all of the fragments. They led back to this period in time.
* I don't know how it's played out, but the data has all led back.
* To you.
* Since I'm stuck here now, rest assured that I've got my eyes on you.

* Whisper.

(fly away)
---------------------------------------------
hi im back now. i've had a tragedy. i've explained a little more on my youtube post, but my phone (which i use to make music) got its charger messed up, so i can't access anything on it anymore. along with losing every (original) music file, i lost quite a few important songs on my past phone. (core, spear of justice, SAVE the world, even a megalovania, yes.)
but, uh, as the protagonist of undertale might do, i must stay determined. so i got this out as some sort of warm up for virtualtale stuff again. i, uh... have opinions on it.
i'll just say, better songs coming soon.

silver is found as an end of level encounter, tho not a boss yet.

s factor song. i've seen from the comments in the youtube upload that this is a transformers song apparently? idrc, it kinda fits for him.

017. Time Coaster

a more upbeat act clear theme as the tone gets a little less unusual. used anywhere outside of green hill and before the 4th area.

018. Act Complete

Imma the jay, and im also a slime.... that's all lol

yeah, im not very active here (aside from dumping my random shit here) so enjoy your stay or whatever.

think of it as an overambitious mediocre sonic fangame with... a story.
