* You kept me sitting in the backstage!
* Collecting dust!
* All alone, light stripped from me!
* Do you remember the smiles I gave?!
* The joy I brought?!
* Did you forget?!
* Don't worry, boys and girls!
* Your host never forgets!
* It's time for a very special performance!
* The DEATH OF THE LIGHTNERS AIRS TONIGHT!

A Tenna 'Chaos King'.

Dialogue by @matt-king-323960599

Lord of Screens

WELL, LONG LONG AGO, LIFE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THIS.
LET'S GO BACK TO A TIME BEFORE OUR GREAT PAPYRUS CAME TO POWER. WHEN HE AND HIS BROTHER WERE MERELY AGENTS.

THE SKY THAT TIME WAS FOREVER A DUSTY GREY.
BUT METTABLOOK AND THEIR COUSIN SPRINKLED IT WITH A TOUCH OF BLUE.

WELL, IT WAS REALLY HARD TO OVERLOOK METTABLOOK'S TALENT IN PERFORMANCE.
YES, THOSE GHOSTS' SHOWS CAN ALWAYS MAKE MONSTERS LAUGH HEARTILY, LIFTING THEIR SPIRITS IN TIMES OF GRIEFS.

AS THE HOPE OF UNDERGROUND, METTABLOOK WAS CHOSEN TO BE THE MONARCH OF MONSTERS.

ONE DAY, A HUMAN FELL DOWN.
THAT HUMAN TREATED MONSTERS AS THEIR OWN KIN.
UNABLE TO ENDURE MONSTERS' PLIGHT, THEY WENT SO FAR AS TO WILLINGLY SACRIFICE THEIR OWN SOUL.

AND METTABLOOK, AS THEY CLAIMED, WOULD MAKE THEIR WAY TO "OUTSIDE" WITH THE SOUL.
THEY GONNA SPREAD TO HUMANS THE TRUE MEANING OF LOVE, BUILDING A BRIDGE OF PEACE.

WELL, AND YET, HUMANS THERE WERE STILL LIKELY TO VIEW MONSTERS AS SLAVES.
WOULD METTABLOOK'S WISH COME TRUE?

WELL, IS THERE SOMETHING EVEN A GHOST COULD BE AFRAID OF?
THE COUSIN, SUPPORTING METTABLOOK SILENTLY ALL ALONG, IMPLORED THEM TO STAY SO BAD.
WELL, PERHAPS THE COUSIN WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ALONE AGAIN.

METTABLOOK DEPARTED WITHOUT LOOKING BACK, ONLY LEAVING A PROMISE.
ONLY A PROMISE LEFT.

ONE YEAR, TWO, ELEVEN...
THAT COUSIN NEVER LIVED TO SEE THE PROMISE FULFILLED.

WALLOWING IN SORROW FOR LONG, FINALLY, THE COUSIN SEEMED TO REACH A RESOLUTION.
ON A NIGHT OF BLIZZARD, THEY VANISHED WITHOUT A TRACE.

BEFORE A MONSTER COULD EVEN PERCEIVE, THE COUSIN, AMIDST THE SNOWSTORM, DID NOTHING AGAINST THE INVADING CHILL, GONE IN LONELINESS AND CALM.
AND ALL THE TEARS THEY HAD PENT UP, CRYSTALLIZED INTO ICE THAT ENCASED THEM.

AND MEANWHILE, HAVING LOST THEIR LIGHT, MONSTERS FELL INTO UNEASE AGAIN AND RUMORS ENSUED.
SOME EVEN WHISPERED THAT METTABLOOK HAD LEFT TO SIDE WITH HUMANS.
IT WAS THEN THAT PAPYRUS CALMED THE UNREST, VOWING TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN TO LEAD THE MONSTERKIND.

PAPYRUS ANNOUNCED TO ALL OF UNDERGROUND.
HE WOULD CAPTURE EVERY HUMAN WHO FELL AND CLAIM THEIR SOULS.
HE WOULD RAISE UP THE BLADE OF VENGEANCE AND SLASH THE CURSE THAT PLAGUED MONSTERS FOR GENERATIONS.
HE WOULD BECOME ANOTHER SHINING STAR IN THE MONSTER EYES.

WELL, DESPITE ALL THIS, PAPYRUS'S BROTHER SEEMED TROUBLED BY SOMETHING.
IT WAS AS IF HE COULD SEE A CERTAIN DOOM APPROACHING PAPYRUS.

WELL, HE'D BETTER LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
SINCE METTABLOOK DISAPPEARED, PAPYRUS HADN'T BEEN THIS DRIVEN IN AGES.
NOW THAT HIS BROTHER HAD FOUND A NEW LIFE PURPOSE, SHOULDN'T HE BE GLAD?

ANYWAY, PAPYRUS NOTICED SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS BROTHER.
PAPYRUS BELIEVED HIS BROTHER NEEDED A GOOD VACATION.
SO, PAPYRUS ASSIGHED HIM TO A SIMPLE SENTRY DUTY FAR AWAY.
WELL, INDEED, NO ONE HAS SEEN PAPYRUS'S BROTHER SINCE THEN.

WELL, AFTER THAT?
WELL, YOU ARRIVED. AND HERE YOU ARE, LISTENING TO MY STORY.

TO BE FRANK, THIS STORY IS REALLY QUITE ORDINARY, RIGHT.
THERE ARE NOT EVEN ANY TWISTS AND TURNS AT ALL.
SOMETIMES EVEN I FORGET THE DETAILS.

BUT LOOK, UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF OUR GREAT PAPYRUS,
MONSTERS NEVER GIVE UP, DEDICATED TO THE COMMON CAUSE.
EVERY MONSTER WORKS HARD, FOR THE FREEDOM THAT NOW LIES WITHIN REACH.
BECAUSE MONSTERS ARE CERTAIN, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL PEN: 
A STORY PAGE SOLELY FOR MONSTERKIND.

SO,
WHY NOT WIPE AWAY YOUR TEARS?
YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO BEING A GREAT STAR.

SO, GO ON.
GO WASH YOUR FACE. GO GET DRESSED.
GO STEP INTO THE SPOTLIGHT, AND GIVE A SMILE FOR THE CAMERA!

*Now do my eyes deceive me?

*Short stature, bipedal, humanoid...

*Ah, it's clear to me.

*You're a human!

*Clearly, your TERRIBLE attempt at ghostly makeup failed to fool anyone. 

*Maybe if you actually STUDIED what a ghost actually looks like.

*You would have a small chance of fooling me.

*Golly! you should see your dumbfounded face. You look like such an IDIOT right now... 

*Well, your dumbfounded lack of face.

*Oh? wondering who I'm I? Well...

*My name is Asriel, Asriel Dreemurr. 

*From now on, human, you're never escaping my sight!

* It's a beautiful day outside.
* (i hear the surface is beautiful.)

* Birds are singing.
* (birds singing.)

* Flowers are blooming.
* (flowers blooming.)

* On days like these...
* (the day we break free...)

* Kids like you...
* (a kid like you...)

* Should be able to see it.
* (should be able to see it.)

* (so come on.)
* (don't surrender now.)

===== 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.

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 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.

Creep, by Radiohead arr Athenius

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.
