UNDERTALE: STORYSHIFT is a reimagining of Storyshift, set in a post-pacifist timeline of Undertale. Many years after Monsterkind had finally been set free, Alphys suggested to her friends that they all dress up as each other for Halloween, playing off the whole "dressing up as monsters" thing that humans were still prone to doing. A lot of them really seemed to like the idea. So much so, that a certain ghostly, theatrical entertainment robot would be inspired to write a stage play for him and his friends to perform in.

Papyrus is meant to represent Toriel. In Mettaton's retelling of the events, Papyrus is one of the archeologists and scientists researching the ancient temple they're all in right now.

Near the end of the Temple, Papyrus realizes that Frisk is likely still woefully underprepared for the world beyond. Rather than scaring them into staying, however, he instead tries to come up with better reasons for them to stay. Such as the fact that they would make for a great addition to their ongoing research of the Temple, seeing as Frisk is human, and would likely have a unique perspective on things.

Inspired partially by the CORE, Snowdin Forest has been transformed into an entirely artificial valley. A landscape entirely of plastic, the Silicone Valley. This monochrome, blank slate-like landscape is home to a more relaxed community of creatives, all adding a splash of color to their surroundings.

(Mettaton would only later learn that he entirely misunderstood the concept of "Silicon Valley".)

Originally, Vulkin was meant to play the role of Sinkin. Due to safety concerns, however, Froggit portrays them instead, making them one of the few cast members to portray themself, rather than someone else.

Napstablook, invisibly haunting a patch of flowers, is meant to represent Flowey. It's meant to appear as though they're all the flowers in the room. Due to budgeting issues and time constraints, however, Mettaton only had enough time to arrange the central patch of flowers, somewhat ruining the intended effect.

Frisk, quite a few years older than they were when they first met everyone, portrays themself. Despite their best efforts, Mettaton insisted they dress up as they used to. While their outfit is wholly out of their current personal style, there's something rather nostalgic about dressing up as their childhood self. Whether that nostalgia is comforting is yet to be... determined.

Mettaton is meant to represent Chara, and takes a much more literal "Narrator" role. Being the writer of the stage play, and given the cards he had been dealt in the big Halloween Dress-up Party, Mettaton figured he'd be fine taking a less active role in the stage play.

That's not to say he won't be going on needlessly long tangents that slowly inch the spotlight back on him, though.

After Mettaton's last bit of narration as Frisk approaches the tree stump, the lights dim, save for the spotlight shining on Frisk and the lake, and music starts to fade in, quietly. Alongside this music, quiet whispers fill the room. Whispers of hope. Whispers of despair. Of fear. Of bravery. It's left up to the audience's interpretation what this could be. Could it be Frisk talking to themself? Could it be a spirit from the past? Could it be monsters hiking through the forest? Who knows?

Mettaton does. 

Mettaton refuses to narrate on the matter.

Flowey, and by extension his plush doll that looks like his past form, is meant to represent Papyrus. With the prince long gone, Mettaton felt it was important to respect his legacy. He needed someone who wouldn't hog all the attention for themself. Eventually, he'd find Flowey. A small, unassuming flower who by no means has ever had any importance in this story whatsoever.

The Dreemurrs would donate some of Asriel's old plush toys, and Mettaton (and the people he "hired" to help with costuming) put together a cute little outfit for it to wear. Flowey puppetteers it from off-stage, shouting his dialogue so the audience can hear it clear enough.

Chara is meant to represent Sans. They lack a physical form of their own, being soulbound to Frisk, so instead, a mirror is placed on stage. Chara speaks through Frisk. It's not confusing at all to any of the viewers.

By this point, given the amount of time that's passed, most people know, whether they've accepted it yet or not, that Chara and Frisk coexist within the same body now. They're even the one who insisted they and Asriel be included on the dress-up party, which led to this particularly strange set-up in Mettaton's play.

In Mettaton's retelling itself, Chara lives a rather normal life in the Silicone Valley with their brother Asriel. As normal a life as that of a human adopted into a family of high standing can be, of course. They used to live in the capital city, but moved out to the Valley for a more quiet, unbothered lifestyle.

Flowey, and by extension his plush doll that looks like his past form, is meant to represent Papyrus. In Mettaton's retelling, Asriel and Chara live together with their parents in the Silicone Valley. With their parents both working full-time, Asriel and Chara spend most of their time together and with the Valley locals who've come to adore them.

Not wanting their good times to end, Asriel challenges Frisk to a duel. If Asriel wins, Frisk has to stay; if Frisk wins, they get to move on.

The cast isn't the only thing at the whims of Mettaton's retelling, as the distinct locations across which the story takes place all have received a makeover as well! Inspired partially by Hotland, the Ruins has been transformed into an ancient, underground desert temple. It's also home to what used to be a communal area for both humans and monsters, many years before the war.

Inspired more heavily by Snowdin Forest, the next area in Mettaton's retelling is Oceanfrost. Home to trees, snow, frozen lakes and rivers... there isn't actually an ocean in sight. That might be for the better, though.

Alphys is meant to represent Napstablook. In Mettaton's retelling of the events, unlike fellow researcher Papyrus, Alphys is much more than just an archeologist. She was once the Royal Scientist, but after stressful circumstances involving one of her close friends, she decided she needed to step down, unsure if she could continue handling her responsibilities, and has instead devoted her time to helping Papyrus research the Temple.

Loosely inspired by Waterfall, the nextmost area in Mettaton's retelling is Stormchase. Alongside heavy, heavy rain, it's also where Asgore and Undyne made their start (de)constructing new buildings, new homes, new... infrustructure as a whole!

Undyne is meant to represent Mettaton. In Mettaton's retelling of the story, Undyne is Asgore's business associate, running a joint construction/demolition company. She suffered a terrible injury on the job, leaving her in critical condition. She's since recovered, and with the help of mechanical enhancements she's back to work, feeling better than ever. Her business partner, on the other hand, does not seem to trust her current condition, leaving her somewhat annoyed.

Asgore is meant to represent Alphys. In Mettaton's retelling, Asgore is... certainly going through a lot. His marriage is strained. He hardly has enough time to see his children, let alone take care of them. His business associate, with whom he runs a joint construction/demolition company, has just recently started working again after a terrible incident.

He's trying desperately to make everything work, to keep an eye on the people he holds dear, and with every passing moment, he feels them slipping away. And another human child is the last thing he needs to worry about.

Chara occasionally show up throughout Frisk's adventure to check in on their progress, as well as to simply have a chat. With their adventure seeming to near its end, Chara decides to take a moment to check in on Frisk again. With tensions getting higher and higher, Chara seems more willing to open up about things.

Since adopting Chara, her opinions on humans has changed, but she nonetheless feels duty bound as she has climbed the ranks of Royal Guardship and found herself being the leader.

Sans proves himself to be stronger than people might have expected. Despite wishing things could've been resolved more peacefully, there truly was only one outcome. One life had to end.

Mettaton tells the audience what happens next. With the help of Frisk's soul, Sans helps monsterkind break free. The monsters live a good life on the surface. But the lives that Frisk touched... feel a whole lot emptier without them around to see it.

Mettaton's equivalent to New Home takes a similar inspiration from Hotland as his equivalent to the Ruins does, being another temple-like location. This place is known as The Palace.

Throughout the palace, various monsters recount the tale of the first human to fall underground, and the ghostly family who quickly grew fascinated with them.

Napstablook, visibly floating before Frisk, is meant to represent Asriel. After a previous encounter had left Frisk determined to resolve their conflict, it seems Napstablook's struggling to accept the love and appreciation directed at them.

In an attempt to save the life of the first human who fell down, Metta had attempted to possess and fuse with their body. While this was successful, it wasn't enough to prevent the human's demise, and by extension Metta's own. This left Napstablook without the one person they felt they could rely on, and over time, they faded more and more into obscurity.

===== DIALOGUE =====
* The garden was full of flowers, all across the room, but...
* The majority seemed to have grown towards the center of the room.
* All of their friends gathered together...
* A voice calls out from behind them.
* Or was it in front of them?
* Beside them?
* Above them?

* i'm sorry...
* am i getting in the middle of something here...?
* oh no.....

===== NOTES =====
UNDERTALE: STORYSHIFT is a reimagining of Storyshift, set in a post-pacifist timeline of Undertale. Many years after Monsterkind had finally been set free, Alphys suggested to her friends that they all dress up as each other for Halloween, playing off the whole "dressing up as monsters" thing that humans were still prone to doing. A lot of them really seemed to like the idea. So much so, that a certain ghostly, theatrical entertainment robot would be inspired to write a stage play for him and his friends to perform in.

After a long series of not-yet-to-be-disclosed events, Frisk finds themself back in the throne room, ready to face off against Sans. All of the friends they made throughout their journey, however, show up to put a stop to the impending bloodshed.

During this, the flowers in the garden of the throne room... start to weep. Sounds of despair, sounds of hope. Sounds from across all of time, past, present and future.

Isn't there someone you've forgotten about?

After all is said and done, Mettaton recounts some key future events, of course from the unique perspective of his play. As he does, one by one, the cast makes their way on stage.

Mettaton is meant to represent Chara, and takes a much more literal "Narrator" role. Being the writer of the stage play, and given the cards he had been dealt in the big Halloween Dress-up Party, Mettaton figured he'd be fine taking a less active role in the stage play. That is, until now.

Mettaton's play takes on a shocking twist. It's Halloween! What kind of writer would Mettaton be if he didn't give it a spooky twist!? Not even the other performers knew this was going to happen! The cast has no choice but to play along, and play dead when their time comes.

...

Some do put up a longer fight than others, such as Chara.

Happy Halloween everyone!

I have a little more to share about this song in particular, because for me, this is a little more than just UT:STORYSHIFT's take on MEGALOVANIA. Many, MANY years ago, before I even had access to FL Studio and was stuck making music on this crappy midi music app (which I love dearly), I was inspired to make a Storyshift Megalo.
A dear friend of mine back then helped me by porting it over to FL Studio and applying better-sounding instruments than I myself was able to use (on account of being stuck with midi to mp3 converters).

Ever since getting my hands on FL Studio, I've tried over and over and over again to bring the song back with the newfound abilities I had. It's gone through various scrapped, unfinished incarnations that never really saw the light of day past being shared among friends.

It's been a little over 8 years since the original version of the song was made and posted, that's about a third of my life so far. This project opened up an opportunity to bring this song to life, proper, and to even attach it to something greater than itself.

As a final reminder (and I suppose as a truly PROPER announcement of it because I realize I did a poor job communicating as much before): This is NOT the end of UNDERTALE: STORYSHIFT. There will be more for this project at a later date! See this as an "abridged" version of the soundtrack. There's plenty left for us to explore in the future. Including, quite possibly, additional content that exists beyond the scope of the play itself.

For those who are interested, I've compiled a Google Drive folder with all the music, thumbnails, as well as some of the spritework I made (including some unused things, such as what Frisk/Chara's design would've looked like had they not been carrying the mirror!)
Check that out here!: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-SI4iXNcwGkuQlrQvEUzpkcf6WQnyDlf?usp=drive_link

Uprising's Downfall

Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.
One day, war broke out between the two races.
After a long battle, the humans were victorious.
They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell.

Over the many years, humans have fallen down. All of which were different people.

Some were kind. Some were scared. Some were brave.
Some tried to fight. Some tried to run away.
Some stayed for a long, long time.

But only one set everyone free.


This is their story.

This is a stage play produced by MTT inc.. All proceeds go to the Monster Ambassadors program.
