01 ♥ Arrival

9/30, laundry room [one response only!]
[Frisk remembers falling forward. They remember salt in their mouth and water pressing cold against their skin and the dark rising up to meet them. Now, though, they find themselves upside down and landing heavily on their stomach on something soft and warm. They're feeling pretty warm, themselves, actually, and not wet anymore. They feel around and find a hinge, so they push.

Frisk tumbles out of the dryer and onto the floor, bringing some of the clothes along with them.

Ah. This isn't a beach, is it?]

9/30, aquarium
[It looks like Frisk has found fish! A lot of fish. Some of them look like little manta rays, but the most prominent one has little tentacles and a face that seems to be smiling at them. When it approaches the tank, it takes Frisk a moment before they realize the fish is fist bumping.

Once they do realize, though, Frisk giggles and returns the motion. Once, twice, again, again... Frisk runs around the tank fist bumping in various places and watching the cute fish swim to meet them.]

9/30, safe shallows
[Frisk is going way too fast. They grabbed one of the sea glides, you see, and while they weren't entirely sure how to work it, they really wanted to try it. Maybe this wasn't the smartest idea, because not only are they only a novice swimmer, they're not used to moving through it so quickly. Wait, is that someone else?]

Look out!

[sniptuck]

Okay, got it!

[ hajime just accepts the request, since of course there are really tall skeletons around somewhere in the world. ]

Which do you think is harder?

[stillyou]

[Frisk speaks as if they're letting Hajime in on a secret.] Crosswords. [They press a finger against their lips.] The hints are harder.

[sniptuck]

[ hajime presses a finger to her own lips, sealing the promise of secrecy. she will now take this information with her to the grave. ]

They are! And there's usually more things you need to fill out, too.

[stillyou]

[Frisk nods.] And the words are bigger, usually. [There are just so many reasons that crosswords are more difficult.]

[sniptuck]

Exactly, exactly! I'm glad we agree on this important issue.

[stillyou]

Yeah. [It's good when you can agree on the important things. ...New question, though:] Do you have pie here?

[sniptuck]

Yes! Do you want some? If we don't have any in stock I could make it for you.

[ since she is going to assume a small child does not know how to bake pie... ]

[stillyou]

[Making pie! This is great! Frisk reaches for Hajime's hand.] I'll help! [They don't know how to bake, but they could stir.]

[sniptuck]

[ she happily takes frisk's offered hand. ]

Is there any type you particularly like? We can't really do every flavor since we don't have all the ingredients we have back home, but I'll see what we have.

[stillyou]

[Frisk doesn't even have to think about this question.] Butterscotch-cinnamon.

[sniptuck]

Hm... we'll have to see if we have any of that.

[ it's not one of the more extremely popular kinds... ]

Let's go!

[stillyou]

[Frisk--well, nods excitedly and follows Hajime. They don't know their way around yet.] I think you can make butterscotch. [They don't know how, specifically, but they're like 70% sure.]

[sniptuck]

[ hajime has officially made it her mission that if they somehow do not have the ingredients to make butterscotch, she will look for replacement ingredients because this small child deserves to have this pie. ]

Yeah! I think you need things like brown sugar... We'll look for some.

[stillyou]

[Today Frisk learned butterscotch requires brown sugar! It's a good day.] I'll help. [Hmm...] Are there cabinets? [What does an underwater kitchen look like...]

[sniptuck]

There are! The kitchen doesn't really look like a normal kitchen though.

[ it's very futuristic looking. but i am assuming there are cabinets mostly since there no way the crew would have lasted without building some.... ]
