9 - Enemy Approaching

1 - Shadow's Edge

2 - Start Menu

3 - A Blossoming Partnership

* Ahuhuhuhu...
* What do we have here?
* You're lucky I was here to save you from that yucky flower, you know~
* After all, I do believe those pellets would ruin your texture.
* ...Oh, pardon me. Where are my manners?
* I am Muffet... the one who watches over the halls of Iciclus.
* It gets quite lonely down here, so I'm just ticked to have a visitor~

4 - Arachnid!

* (The cold air nips at your fingers.)
* (Still, your legs keep moving...)
* (The power of this place shines within you.)

5 - Iciclus

* Ahuhuhu...
* You seem surprised to see me here, human.
* Did you really think you would be able to escape this place so easily~?
* And after all that trouble I went through to save you, too...
* The least you could do is make me dinner~
* ...
* Let's just get to the point, shall we?
* You know what I want.
* Me and my pet haven't had a good meal in so long...
* That reminds me, I haven't introduced you two yet, have I~?
* Well, I suppose there's no time like the present!
* Human!
* You'd better hope you're prepared, because only one of us is leaving this room alive.
* I can't say it's been nice knowing you...
* ...But I'm sure you'll make a great stew!
* Kehehehehehehehe!!!

14 - Spider Dance

* OH MY GOD do NOT sneak up on me like that
* holy crap that scared me
* ...
* wait did you just
* come out of iciclus???
* there's LITERALLY a human eating spider in there
* ...wait oh okay you ARE a human aren't you
* okay cool just casually talking to the first human to leave iciclus in like years
* i need a second this is a lot of information
* sorry by the way... i probably scared YOU too by just being out here in the middle of the woods
* nobody comes out to this area basically ever so i've been hanging out here when i want to be alone
* haha sorry i'm weird
* uhh i'm alphys by the way!! i live in verden town just over that way
* you probably wanna get settled down somewhere and have a hot meal after being stuck in THERE huh
* i can lead you that way!! i was gonna head back soon anyway
* oh uh... just a quick warning though
* i have this... friend. undyne
* she's basically the mayor of verden town
* well not basically she IS the mayor
* but she's not really too fond of humans??
* like she's not all KILL HUMANS ON SIGHT (mostly cause of the queen) but
* if she sees you she'll probably try to capture you
* it's a long story but humans are... quite sought after for reasons you probably won't like
* i'll spare you the details but don't worry about me backstabbing you lol!!
* you seem nice and you deserve a break after having to deal with that spider anyway
* so watch out for undyne ok?
* she's like this tall muscular fish with a ponytail and really pretty yellow eyes you can't miss her haha
* i'll go on up ahead to make sure the coast is clear before we start heading back!!

15 - alphys!

* okay okay the coast is NOT clear
* ohhhh what do i do what do i do!!
* j-just... okay wait do you see that modern table over there
* if you get behind that i think it might just barely keep you hidden
* quick!! she's coming!!!

U: * ...
A: * ...
U: * Hey, Alphys.
A: * HI!!!!!
U: * You, uh... look kinda edgy.
U: * Are you, like... okay?
A: * yes i am completely fine there's nothing to worry about at all :DDD
U: * ...Uh huh.
U: * Okay, well, do you think you can wrap up... whatever you're doing here? 
U: * The scientist just called and he needs your help with brainstorming stuff.
A: * yeah yeah no problem i was just about to head back actually!!!
U: * Okay. Uh... great.
U: * ...Seriously, though. You look like you're about to piss your pants. The hell's going on?
U: * Did you get attacked or something? You don't look, uh... any rougher than you normally do.
A: * nope i swear i'm completely fine! i'm just excited to help out the scientist!! :D
U: * But I just told-
U: * ...Whatever.
U: * Just try to get back soon, okay?
U: * ...and you remember to call me if you ever see any humans out here, right?
A: * yes ma'am! roger that! will report humans expeditiously! you can count on me!
U: * ...
U: * See you in a few, Alphy.
A: * bye bye!!!! :333

* ...
* ...
* OKAY I CAN BREATHE oh my god
* you can come out now she's gone
* i think that was the most nerve-wracking experience of my entire life??
* but thankfully i'm a master of persuasion so i was able to save your skin!!
* you owe me one little human :)
* anyway, i guess we can actually start heading towards verden town now?
* just stay behind me, okay? it's pretty easy to get lost out here
* off we go!

16 - Undyne

* (Your fingers and toes have finally started to thaw out.)
* (You are filled with the power of nerdy lizards.)

17 - Sunny

* (Your nose picks up a pleasant woody smell.)
* (The town is just as bright as the strangely motionless sun.)
* (You are filled with the power of log cabins.)

22 - Verden Town

(Finally caught up with pre-revamp... Yay! I guess)

23 - Shop

* ...Human.
* Looks like you're ready to get outta here, huh?
* Had a little fun in Verden, and now it's time to move on?
* Fuhuhuhuhu...
* ...AS IF, punk.
* You know, you're a slippery little weirdo, I'll give you that.
* Every time I've tried to capture you so far...
* ...I've completely failed.
* But after all that, I realized...
* All I REALLY need to do to trap you... is BLOCK your only way out!
* This path here? It's the only way to MAGMOTH.
* The only way to TORIEL.
* And if you wanna get through... you're gonna have to go through ME first!
* Fuhuhuhu!
* ...But hey, at least you don't need to worry about missing out on meeting the queen.
* 'CAUSE I'M GONNA DELIVER YOU TO HER MYSELF!
* NGAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

24 - Pikescuffle

* Oh you have GOT to be kidding me.
* I LITERALLY came here to stay SECLUDED!!!
* To stay HIDDEN!!!
* And here YOU come... to RUIN it!!!
* Just... LOOKING at me!!!
* The NERVE...!
* ...HEY! What's that look for?
* You think this is some kind of JOKE?!
* Foolish Foolish! FOOLISH!
* I'll give you something to LAUGH at, human...!

* Here comes Wraughthel!

(What the hell! Breaking the order AGAIN, am I right? I wanted to update this specific track because I decided to rethink some of the motif choices, and wasn't too happy with the mixing. Don't worry, I have plans to bring back the original beginning motif somewhere.)

10 - Ghost Fight

* ...Hey.
* It's been a while, huh?
* ...God, it's HOT in here!
* Listen, uh... I got something to tell you. 'S why I called you over here.
* I know you answer to the queen above all else, but don't worry, this order is from her.
* ...She just, uh, asked ME to tell you.
* So... don't freak out, but...
* There's a human about to pass through MAGMOTH.
* And I know how badly you wanna capture one, but DON'T capture this kid.
* I'm just saying what the queen told me!
* This human is, uh... special. They're actually...
* P... P-Part monster! Yeah! They're, like, a hybrid.
* So their SOUL wouldn't even put a dent in the UMBRA.
* And we're supposed to just... let them chill.
* ...Got it?

(Fun fact: I had originally planned this to include a slowed version of Bonetrousle like the one that plays in Papyrus' genocide encounter in Undertale, but I couldn't get it to sound good.)

29 - Bone to Pick

I SEE...
THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING SUCH VALUABLE INTEL, MISS MAYOR!
UNFORTUNATELY, I AM UNDER STRICT ORDERS NOT TO TAKE ANY SECOND-HAND IMPERATIVES!
BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY QUITE UN-UNFORTUNATE FOR ME!
...BECAUSE I DO INDEED WANT TO CAPTURE A HUMAN!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!
* ...Huh. Okay.
* (Ngaahhh...! The queen's too damn smart...!)
* Well, uh... I don't think they're here yet, so...
* I'd suggest just going back to your station.
* No need to waste time looking for them when they haven't even arrived, right?
NONSENSE!!
NOW THAT I KNOW THERE IS A HUMAN APPROACHING...
I MUST BE VIGILANT!!
HUMANS ARE CUNNING, UNDYNE! THEY COULD ARRIVE AT ANY MOMENT!
IN FACT, I'M SURPRISED THAT ONE SEEMS TO HAVE GAINED THE TRUST OF A STERN LADY SUCH AS YOURSELF!
* What?! No!
* L-Listen, dude, I'm just trying to help you.
* But if you're sure about this, then I guess I'll leave you be.
OK!! I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I CATCH THE HUMAN!
DON'T WORRY! I WON'T HURT THEM!
THE QUEEN MIGHT... BUT THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS, OF COURSE, A GENTLE GIANT!
HE COMES DOWN WITH HIS IRON FIST...
TO PET THE HEADS OF CUTE LITTLE KITTENS AND PUPPIES!
SO REST ASSURED THAT YOUR BELOVED HUMAN IS SAFE WITH ME!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE QUEEN WANTS WITH THEM BUT THEY'RE SAFE WITH ME!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!

30 - Papyrus

* (You're not quite sure how you're going to deal with that skeleton.)
* (Nevertheless, you have to press on.)
* (You are filled with the power of skeletal knights.)

31 - Magmoth

A-HA!
IT SEEMS YOU'VE FINALLY FALLEN INTO ONE OF MY TRAPS, HUMAN!
WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE... WILL BEFUDDLE AND ASTOUND YOU THOROUGHLY!
YOU SEE, WITH MAGMOTH BEING SO DESOLATE, I AM LEFT WITH QUITE A LOT OF FREE TIME.
FREE TIME THAT I HAVE SPENT PLOTTING AND SCHEMING, AS YOU CAN SEE BY MY COMPOSURE AND WIT...
...BUT ALSO BUILDING THE VERY SNARE YOU HAVE STEPPED INTO!
THIS, HUMAN, IS THE CULMINATION OF MANY MOONS OF HARD WORK AND DEDICATION...
THIS... IS PAPYRUS' GREAT AND TERRIFYING LABYRINTH OF DOOM!!!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!
ANY PUZZLES YOU'VE COME ACROSS BEFORE ENTERING MAGMOTH HAVE BEEN NATURE'S FLUKES...
...THE RESULT OF PURE CHANCE!
BUT THIS, PUT TOGETHER BY MY OWN TWO HANDS...
WILL SHOW YOU HOW MIND-BENDING A REAL PUZZLE CAN BE!
A BYZANTINE MAZE FULL OF TRAPS AND PERILS...
YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESSFULLY MAKING YOUR WAY THROUGH THIS ARE APPROXIMATELY ZERO!
JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE TUCKERED OUT AND READY TO BE CAPTURED!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH!!!

32 - PAPYRUS' GREAT AND TERRIFYING LABYRINTH OF DOOM!

WAIT!!!
WHAT ARE YOU TROUBLEMAKERS DOING HERE SO LATE?!
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MONITORING THE GRAVITY CHAMBER!!!
* Dude, you literally gave us, like, NO warning.
* Yeah, we got here as fast as we could!
HUMAN!! PAUSE!!! TIME OUT!!!!!!
IF THERE'S NOBODY IN THERE, THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE COULD-
...
* ...
...WOW! THIS IS MORTIFYING.
HUMAN?
PLEASE... NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.

* I don't know what he wants with ordinary monsters like us anyways.
* He just told all of us to be here...
* And, like, seriously? A "gravity chamber"?
* I wouldn't even know where to start!
* I never got the chance to finish my degree...

Extra - Catastrophic Failure

* Hey, hey! Weird-looking monster!
* Yeah, you! 
* Did you know that MAGMOTH is so hot...
* ...because it's the DEEPEST area in the UNDERGROUND?!
* Yep, that's right!
* Those CREEPY RUINS on the other hand? Ice-cold!
* I think it's something to do with the HEAT of the PLANET or something??
* I DON'T KNOW!!
* Thankfully, VERDEN and the CLIFFS are at a sweet spot right in the MIDDLE.
* Yep, you'll actually be going UP when you leave MAGMOTH!
* And the SKY PILLAR?
* Well, take a wild guess, DUMMY!

* You'd think that, since ICICLUS is so cold because it's closer to the SURFACE...
* Wouldn't the SURFACE itself be FREEZING?
* WRONG!
* Apparently, they actually have their own SUN, like the one in VERDEN!
* But theirs actually MOVES and gives off HEAT... 
* Are they trying to one-up OUR invention?
* For shame!

33 - Magma Chamber

* (The engine responsible for the bridges is back up and running thanks to your efforts.)
* (Steam billows from holes across the machine, whistling a haunting melody...)
* (It seems this engine is dedicated to someone.)

34 - Determination

* ................
* ................
* ................
* ....need a ride?
* .......only 10g.
Yes ❤️No
* ....short on cash?
* ................
* ....you can ride for free if you want.

* ......you can ride for free from now on.
* .....all i ask is that you spread the word of my services.
* .......i'm grillby.
* ................
* ........stay safe.

35 - The Ferryman

* ...Hello?
* Is someone there?
* ...
* You're a human, aren't you?
* I can feel your presence.
* Oh, human... I need your help.
* You see, ever since I was just a little spirit, I've been fascinated with beauty.
* Beauty... the world is so full of it.
* It's the spice of life, darling!
* But, ever since I inhabited this silly puppet... I've had no eyes to see it with!
* Oh, dear, it's a catastrophe...
* ...But, I've wondered since then...
* ...if maybe there's other ways to perceive "beauty" after all?
* Ha ha ha...
* Human!
* Show me what beauty REALLY is!

* MAD DUMMY 7 ATK -40 DEF
* He seems to have lost sight of himself.

36 - Death by Glamour

* ...Hey.
* Make yourself comfortable, I guess.
* And, uh... don't worry about the whole dummy thing, got it?
* He's... weird. I dunno if he would have let you go if I didn't intervene.
* Just take it as thanks for helping me out back in Iciclus, I guess???

* (It's a piano. It seems pretty well-kept.)
* ...Oh, right. That thing.
* Yeah, I mess around with it from time to time.
* It's just something I do to keep myself busy.
* ...HEY! What's that look for?
* Of course I can PLAY it. What, is it because I have no arms?
* Idiot. How do you think ghosts would even SURVIVE if we let THAT hold us back?
* We have our ways of doing things.
* ...You look like you want me to prove it.
* ...UGH. Okay, fine.
* But don't you take this for granted! I'm ONLY doing this because you were nice to me.
* Don't go around telling people they can get free concertos.
* ...I only really know, like, 2 or 3 songs anyway.
* Which one do you wanna hear?
Etude for Ghosts - Etude for Ghosts (Western Mix)
Spooktune - Gymnopedie

37 - Pathetic House

* This one is... sort of an original tune I came up with.
* It's been stuck in my head FOREVER, so I end up playing it pretty often.
* It's nice, I guess.

38 - Etude For Ghosts

* This one is, uh...
* It's the same as the last one, but, like... it kinda sounds like cowboy music.
* You know cowboys, right?
* ...I dunno, I thought it was cool.

39 - Etude For Ghosts (Western Mix)

* This one was actually written by... my cousin.
* You might have seen them already.
* ...considering their face is LITERALLY plastered ALL over the underground.
* ...We used to hum this back when we talked more.
* Honestly, one reason why I started learning piano was to try and connect with them more...
* But they're always so busy with work stuff.
* It's... a shame, really. I look up to them a lot.
* It's hard to believe, but they used to be a LOT shier than they are now.
* If you run into them, tell them I said hi.

40 - Spooktune

* ...This song is another reason why I wanted to learn how to play this thing.
* ...When I found it. The piano.
* There were some pieces of paper on top of it.
* Most of them were burnt up, but this song was still legible. 
* I, uh... Had to ask for help reading it, at first...
* But I was so curious how it sounded. 
* So I kept on and on and on trying to play it...
* It took a long time, but... as I got further into the song, it started sounding even more beautiful to me.
* I'm not even that big a fan of classical music, but...
* Something about the process of slowly piecing this song together made it really special, I guess.
* ...I dunno.
* ...
* ...You know, human...
* You're a really good person.
* I... know I can be really rude, but... you were still nice to me.
* That's more than a lot of monsters can say.
* ...It's funny. We're supposed to be scared of you guys.
* ...But, human, I really...
* ...I wish I could learn to be as kind as you are.
* It's... hard for me.
* I... don't really like myself that much.
* Shocker, I know. I mean, I live in freakin' Magmoth and I STILL felt like I had eyes on me constantly.
* It's just- I know my life would be so much better if I could put myself out there, in front of other people...
* ...But I can't. I'm too ashamed of myself.
* Of how I look. Of how I sound.
* It makes me feel like I'm crazy sometimes. 
* But, human, you... You have such a pure SOUL.
* I feel like, if there's anyone who could help me work on myself, it HAS to be you.
* ...I promise, this is the last favor I'll ask of you, and then I'll get out of your hair forever.
* ...Can you please just TRY to help me figure out how I can be happier with myself?
❤️Yes No
* ...
* Thank you... so much.
* I swear this won't take long.
* Here... I have an idea.
* You know the garbage dump back there, right?
* There's a lot of stuff that might be worth checking out.
* How about we go take a look there?
* It'll... be a lot less embarrassing to dumpster dive when someone's with me.

(Composition by Erik Satie)

41 - Gymnopedie

* Alright, here we are.
* ...Looks like that nutjob decided to skedaddle, at least.
* So! This place is where all of the world's junk ends up.
* Monsters and humans alike toss their trash here, I guess to try and burn it up?
* It's REAL eco-friendly, huh?
* The silver lining, of course, is that some of it is actually perfectly fine.
* ...Not like I dig through it regularly, but you'd be an idiot not to grab up some of the goodies people leave lying around.
* Anyway, I think this is mostly monster junk. The human junk's over that-a-way.
* I figure that's where we ought to look, so, uh... follow me.

* Mmkay... this seems about right.
* There's a whole bunch of clothes and stuff that people throw out for no good reason.
* I guess they've never heard of thrift stores?
* It sure is convenient for US, though.
* Here, there's some boxes with clothes and hats and stuff right next to you.
* Take a look through some of those and tell me if anything jumps out at you.
* ...Hopefully not in the literal sense, but I wouldn't rule it out.

* (This box contains a frilly baby bonnet.)
* (You show it to Wraughthel.)
* ...
* I'm just gonna assume you thought that was something else and aren't trying to piss me off.

* (This box contains a dirty tank top.)
* (You show it to Wraughthel.)
* Are you kidding?
* That's not my style at all.
* I mean, thanks for trying to help...
* But I don't even have shoulders.
* That ratty old thing would fall right off.

* (This box contains an extravagant flowery hat.)
* (You show it to Wraughthel.)
* ...I'm starting to understand why some of this stuff was thrown out.
* I mean, if you think it looks good, you can keep it for all I care.
* It's definitely NOT for me, though.
* (You got the Flower Hat.)

* (This box contains a neatly folded tuxedo.)
* (You show it to Wraughthel.)
* ...Mehh. I'm not feeling it.
* Sure is a shame that it got thrown out, though.
* Better leave it for someone who'd get more use out of it.

* ...Jeez, is that really everything?
* No luck at all...
* ...Dammit. Well, at least we tried.
* Even if we didn't find anything, I really appreciate you coming out.
* It makes me feel a lot better knowing I'm not doing this on my own.
* ...Let's head back, I guess.
* ...
* ...Hold on, actually.
* I think I saw something in this box right here...
* ... (dig) ... (shuffle) ...
* ...Oh, wow.
* Human, check this out. It's... some kind of doll.
* It's kind of cute, actually. Look at the little bells!
* ...You know what?
* I... I think this might actually be the ticket. This doll right here.
* If I could fuse with this...
* ...
* ...Human. Thanks again for all your help.
* I think things might actually turn out alright for me.
* ...You can continue on your journey. I think I've gotten all the help I need.
* Oh, before you go...
* Here's my phone number.
* If you're ever in a sticky situation, give me a call and I'll be right there.
* It's the least I can do, right?
* ...Stay safe, human. And good luck!

42 - Dumpster Diving

* Ohhh okay... annd its a human

The demon that comes when people call its name.
---
This may come as a surprise to people who weren't aware that I uploaded the original version of this song on @emihead with the news that this AU had been effectively cancelled.
I've decided that I don't want to can it entirely, but I don't have the time, energy, or motivation to make a full 101-song soundtrack anymore.
With that said, I may make a FEW more songs for it, but the whole "soundtrack order" thing is being thrown out of the window. I'll likely be sticking to "big" songs that I personally find interesting.
I hope you all understand and continue to enjoy UMBRATALE.

87 - Penumbra Phantasm

* (The weight of the SKY PILLAR looms above you.)
* (The structure clearly wasn't designed to be navigated on foot.)
* (Unfortunately, it seems you don't have much of a choice.)
* (You are filled with the power of renewable energy.)

65 - The Ascent

This is a "role-swap" AU of UNDERTALE. It is partially meant as a homage to old AUs.

Notes:

- Fan songs/covers are perfectly fine.

- Some songs are outright "replacements" that play in the same context. Other songs take up the same soundtrack slot as an Undertale song but play in a different context. Mostly everything will stay in the same order as it is in the Undertale soundtrack, aside from some "extras". (Sorry for being so meticulous about this I'm autistic lmao)

- The AU has undergone a rework and many tracks were deleted due to being outdated. Anything uploaded before "Shadow's Edge" is a pre-rework track that I decided to keep because it still works for the AU in its current state. The deleted tracks have all been reuploaded here: https://soundcloud.com/emiheadalt

- Everything (excluding otherwise credited songs) by @emi_head

- If you're in the VC!DR server (invites closed), there's a thread for this AU in the #au-discussion channel where I post concept art and other stuff
