[A hooded figure fights off 4 Dreg Husks, causing a lot of noise. He is wielding a rune sword]

Piss off, silk heads!

[The figure parries a husk's pins and follows up with a spin kick, sending it flying backwards]

[A second charges at the figure, only to be impaled in the chest and thrown away using the blade]

Come on!

[The third Dreg Husk charges at the figure who jumps back and parries another attack with his rune sword. He stalls the fourth by kicking a wheelchair at it, before finishing the third husk with a clean slash]

[The final Dreg Husk slashes the figure's arm, so he grabs its pins with hand, pulls the husk towards him, and kicks it away, ripping off its head]

Freaky bastards. How did I even get here?

[The figure examines his arm wound and heals it using a special device imbued with pale light. He then hears noises further down the hallway, readying his rune sword]

Again?

[The figure and the Stilkin automaton reach the Engineery at the east of Bilewater. They both had made sure no Stilkin had seen or followed them here]

Is this the place where you were built?

[A hooded figure enters the old Weavenest, a modified Silk lantern dangles on his hip]

This'll do.

[The figure deactivates his lantern and sets up his belongings neatly on the floor. He then interacts with the old rune terminal inside and turns it into a logbook, transcribing the notes from his journal onto it]

AUTOMATONS OBSERVED - 7

>Cogwork Choirbug

>Cogwork Cleanser

>Cogwork Defender

>Cogworker

>Cogwork Clapper

>Clawmaiden

>Cogwork Alita (NEW MODEL)

[The figure rests on the bench]

I'll set out in a bit. The cold wind feels nice.

[A hooded figure washes his garbs and himself in the small pools of clean water in the Weavenest. He's muttering to himself angrily while scrubbing himself]

Stupid Stilkin... pushing me into maggot water.

[The figure sighs]

At least there's clean water here. After this, I'm headed for Bilehaven to look for those automatons. If they have any.

[The figure steps out of the pool and goes to hangs his garbs to dry. He dries himself using leftover rags of silk he scavenged in the Weavenest, and puts on a makeshift robe made from the leftover silk.]

I am in search of the Citadel's finest automatons to inspect, but it seems that getting close to one or even searching for one has proven to be quite the challenge. I have a taken shelter within the Weavenest located deep in the Mosslands, if you have an automaton or perhaps are one and wish to volunteer yourself, then kindly stash it/yourselves by the entrance just outside and I will be there shortly to take it/you in.

My tastes in automatons are diverse, but I tend to prefer Cogwork or Steel constructs, mainly replicants of existing people or creatures for comparison.

REWARD: 800 Rosaries and a special item

[A hooded figure enters the converted Karak from the Cogwork Core]

Well, hot damn. Those bots really pulled it off. I wonder if I can spot a few without them spotting me.

[The figure ventures onward]

(OOC: The Hooded Figure will be unaware of any watching eyes unless confronted directly)

[A hooded figure shakes off a few Muckmaggots that clung on his boots]

Dammit, why did I have to come here? I hate these bastard swamps.

[A group of Stilkin approach nearby, the figure hides behind a rock a lets them pass]

And the natives are very hostile to outsiders... But if they have some automatons, given their relationship with the Citadel, they should be in Bilehaven.

[The hooded figure draws a rune-like sword from thin air]

Provided I get there, that is. Hoo boy...

[A hooded figure is inside, holding a journal in his hand and writing on it. He seems to be inspecting the inert constructs inside all standing in a row]

"Cogwork Choirbug, Cogwork Choirbug, Cogwork Cleanser, Cogwork Choirbug..."

[The figure turns to the row of constructs behind him as he continues to scribble]

"Cogwork Defender, Cogwork Choirbug, Cogwork Choirbug... Damn, they sure have a lot of these."

[The figure goes further into the room, just away from the entrance]

"A Cogwork Clapper? I thought these things had a storage bay in the Lower Core. And what is this?"

[It seems to be a Cogwork Alita]

"An Alita? How the hell?"

[The figure seems distracted by the automaton]

I heard models were being manufactured here. I would like to review them, if they haven't been deployed or sold out already.

Here's the gist of how this works.

• Everyone in the Underground knows Frisk as if the True Pacifist ending was made. However, they are all put back into the Underground like a reset happened, except it wasn't.
• Everyone still retains their memories except they're all just back in the Underground, transported by a strange force. All of them, including Frisk (and Chara) have been given a script of the events of what's to come, and are assigned roles on what they should do once its their cue. Frisk's arrival triggers that cue.
  • For example, Flowey knows that Frisk is coming and that Toriel will come and save them after he tries to "kill" them as told by the script (but to be honest, he would just go and actually kill them).
  • Toriel knows as well that Frisk will eventually "convince" her to let them leave the Ruins, but she's been given a role by the script to "stop" them. And etcetera.
• However, the script made the monsters' specific roles and actions quite vague.
  • For example, Sans' script says he needs to pull a prank on Frisk after sneaking up behind them but doesn't clarify what prank, so instead of a whoopie cushion, he could pull of a different prank altogether.
  • Undyne's script says that she needs to attack Frisk on that bridge chase, but instead of chucking spears at them, she could do something else.
• The script also updates depending on the actions Frisk does while being controlled by the player, taking account of Genocide or Neutral run actions.

Basically, it's an AU where everyone knows each other and what's gonna happen thanks to a script they were given. And they basically have no choice but to follow it.

What do you think?

I've been challenged to get the Ultimate Ending on Lunatic, but Cassidy is trying his hardest to rack up my death count and I can't even get to the boss stage without losing 3 of my hearts.

The bullshit I hate are PONG, SWEEP, MATCH, AVOID, BOUNCE, FIND ME, and sometimes INPUT.

How about you?

I softlocked my ass on Night 4 Lunatic and I am in desperate need of assistance. I am planning on running a new night.
I can play the game just fine, I just need an animatronic check. Which ones are less of an ass to deal with?

Also, if you have specific strats, please tell.
