Oh? Well, that does sound promising. I didn't want to be That Guy who looks like they're ripping off another story, but if you wouldn't mind maybe I'll still give my take a shot. Think I'll watch yours for a few days before deciding though, to try and gauge how different our directions are.

>>188154
Hard Mode would be amusing, I'd just rather pick a name for someone who fits in the Touhou universe. Might still change votes to Frisk after seeing the writer's reaction, though.

You really should at the very least put a box before that, y'know. If it keeps being done, I'm not going to count it, as I can't be 100% sure it's a vote.

>>188177
So should we be assuming that in general, all/most canon characters' names are off-limits (like in UT itself)? This might work better if we have some idea of which options would actually be allowed, and/or whether we should go with an original name. I mean, my next inclination is to choose the other character pictured there, but I don't know whether that'd work.

>>188178

Well, that's the fun of it~ Some names are, some names aren't! Normally you go in blind, so one hardly knows what names to take.

However, I've left hints in both naming posts. Two in Maribel's post and... a good number more in Sumireko's. Besides, this 'is' a good opportunity to get a small look into the characters, if you use their name, as they do quip.

The Sumireko quip reminds me of the turtle historian for some reason. Not sure why.

[x] Renko

>>188179
Yeah, fair enough. I do like the quips, and don't really mind this method personally, I just think it could be frustrating for some other voters depending on how long it takes to pick a name. Anyway...

It makes sense really. So Yukari/Maribel is Sans then? This trend is giving us all sort of hints. No points for guessing who passes for the friendly, horned, mother figure here.

"Well, well, welly, well, well. Seems you got it! I wonder just what you might pick from here?

Honestly, this may not be fun for you guys. However, your bravery just might be rewarded.

Or maybe you'll be right boned.

Ohh, and by the way, this mode may alter the plot significantly, if that worries you as much as it should. ...But sometimes, change can be a good thing, for perhaps you might enjoy what you find."

[X] This declaration fills me with Determination. Save Game

Here we go guys, I'm ready.

[X] Determination

True pacifist in a nutshell:
What was that which you just said about me, my friend? I think you ought to know that I have completed my time as a novice-monk, and I've passed through the Gateless Gate, and I've lived for over 300 cycles of rebirth. I am trained in anapanasati and I'm the most senior bhikkhuni in my local sangha. You are nothing to me but just another human being worthy of dignity and respect.
I will have compassion upon you with loving-kindness the likes of which has never been seen before in the Cycle of Samsara - you would do well to remember these words. Do you believe that you can say these things and still escape the principle of dependent origination? Perhaps you should reexamine those beliefs, brother. As we speak I am contemplating the importance of accepting your words with detachment and equanimity, so, without malice, I advise you to prepare for the storm, young one. The storm of suffering that afflicts all living creatures in this world.
You are trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth, child. Not only am I extensively trained in the Mahayana Tripitaka, but I have access to the entire Pali canon as well, and I will use its teachings to their full extent to help alleviate the suffering within you which causes you to say hurtful things about others. You could reach Nirvana anywhere, any time, and I can help you achieve enlightenment in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with the study of Koan.
If only you could understand what evil karma these words of yours would sow, perhaps you would have had the wisdom to keep silent. Nevertheless, this was beyond what you have been prepared for, and so I promise that I will do my best to ease the suffering that you have brought upon yourself. I will teach you the path of the Bodhisattva and you will revel in it. Your suffering may yet reach its end, child.

>>188195

I'm not sure if I should read that in Myouren's or Byakuren's voice... Or maybe some kind of freaky twin sorta thing.

Like in The Shining!

Looks like I'm calling it here.

>>188200

Aww... I was hoping for a new sport among monks...

Anywho, the update will be up shortly. It's not as good as it could be, but, frankly, I don't have much to work with yet.

"Renko."

You bolt upright, looking about wildly.

You blink, slowly calming down as you look about slower, as you certainly don't remember it being pitch black. Did you fall asleep..."You rummage through your skirt, searching for your phone. After a few minutes of rummaging, you finally find it, pulling it out.

Pockets are a thrifty girl's best friend. ...When she doesn't need to find anything quickly.

"Damn... No reception down here..." ...Wait. How is there no reception..."Where could there possibly be no reception in this day and age? You've had a better signal going rock climbing, let alone...

You shake your head clear of distractions. First you need to find out where you are. Your hands and feet aren't bound, meaning that it's unlikely you were kidnapped, but still.

You use the flashlight app in your phone to look around, finding mostly nothing but stone and grass and... flowers? Are those daisies? How are they even alive? It's darker than night in here! You shake your head. No, no. Focus. Ignore the flowers.

"...Wait, no. Don't ignore the flowers." Remembering back to the last time you were trapped in a cave, you shine the light up above the flowers.

Nothing but darkness greets you. Where exactly are you? How high is this ceiling, to not show something? It must be night if it's like this... Maybe if you wait for day break and then climb? Sighing, you just pick yourself up, dust off your skirt, and then shine the light all around. You find a significant lack of anything considerably wall-like, making that idea rather moot.

"...Wait..." You shine your light down off the edge of the odd place you find yourself. "Whoa, that's a long fall." Don't want to go dropping down there unprepared. You already likely fell down a hole. Two holes would be two too many.

Shining the light ahead, you spot something flash, and you recognize it instantly, rushing to it.

"Ouch..." You stop, nearly tumbling over. "Great, my ankle got twisted when I fell..."

Sighing, you instead limp towards the great doors, shining the light up them.

And up them.

And up them.

"...What sort of monster was this door made for?" Sighing, you open the door, half expecting to start puking blood.

Thankfully that doesn't happen this time.

However, the door is also freakishly heavy, meaning that you're a bit hard pressed to actually open it, what with your foot like this.

You grunt and shove, wondering if this is what it's like to be pregnant. However, suddenly the door shoves open in a single fluid motion as you pale at the thought of how much that would hurt, and you realize that you're an idiot. "Great, it opens outwards... Nobody had better have seen that.

The light from within stings your eyes. Just how long have you been down here for it to do that..."You must have fallen from somewhere while searching.

...

Why does that flower look so cheerful?

Why does it have a face?!

"Hi, I'm-"

"Holy crap, it talked!"

The flower jumps. "Holy shit, this one's not mute!"

You both stare at each other a long moment.

The flower clears its... throat? "Uhh... ...Right. Howdy! I'm FLOWEY! FLOWEY the FLOWER!" ...Stunning creativity, there. "Hmm... You're new to the-"

The flower stares at you a long moment, cutting itself off.

You feel a little uncomfortable under its gaze as it looks you over. "That hat... I know that hat" The flower stares a moment longer. "No, it can't be." Flowey shakes... his head? "No, never mind." Right as you open your mouth, it continues. "Now, uhh, where were we? ...Right, right." Clearing... its squeaky throat, it continues its seemingly rehearsed spiel, "Golly, you must be so confused! I should teach you how these things work!" While it talks, you study it, looking it over. Just what is it...""I suppose it's only right, being that I'm the only one here! Ready?" You open your mouth to speak, but again it cuts you off. "Here we go!"

You feel an odd sensation in your chest, but nothing else really seems to happen. You look at the flower oddly, as it seems to be staring at your chest.

You aren't sure how to feel about a flower checking you out.

On one hand, it's a flower.

On the other, it thinks you're hot.

That has to be some sort of compliment in certain cultures, right?

It looks not sure how to take that.

You decide to call it a she to make this less weird.

"...You're an idiot, aren't you?"

You glare at her. "Says the one coming on to me!"

Flowey's eyes look like dinner plates. "Wait, you thought..." Somehow she both blushes and pales at once.

You don't think flowers have blood, but that makes things easier.

Maybe.

You hope.

The flower grumbles as it looks off to the side, her oddly dangerous-looking vines poking together nervously. "This girl..."

It doesn't work.

You look to her yellow petals, and think of what it might be like to kiss them.

...You feel rather silly doing so.

Flowey looks back to you, and opens her mouth to speak, only to close it. She is now looking at you strangely.

You stare at Flowey intensely.

Flowey flinches.

FLOWEY - Lv 4 ATK 99 DEF 1

Seems to be hiding something big...

Flowey blinks a few times before rubbing her eyes with a thorny appendage. "Did you just use magic..."You freaking blinded me..."

...Did you? "No?"

"No, seriously, what was that? Humans that can use magic are freaking rare. ...Ignoring the fact that all of you that end up here seem able to- Wait, no, no, I need to get this done with! Where was I..."

Flowey seems to have frozen up.

As you are about to ask if anything is wrong, Flowey says, "Okay, screw it; I'm just going to shoot my friendliness pellets at you, now. Catch it with your face."

You blush furiously at being told that.

The ground under Flowey cracks before said flower begins to rise. Soon after, you find yourself nearly kissing a cannon whose barrel is as thick as your torso, Flowey smiling as if nothing is wrong from the top of what seems to be the hatch of a tank.

Anywho, you guys have a little while to break the tie, or I'm choosing the one I like more, as I'm a little bored. And, while friendliness facials sound nice, well... I kinda wanna see where the other one takes us.

>>188239

Uhh... Nevermind! Missed a vote! Voting called, I guess...

>>188218

I now know your pain.

Strangely, the cannon doesn't go off, and Flowey's expression grows complex as she hesitates. Taking full advantage of the situation, you begin to climb up the cannon.

Mind you, you climb up the mouth, but you get points for trying.

Flowey just looks at you in disbelief, but ends up just sighing. "You idiot... If you're going to do something dumb, at least be smart about it."

The odd feeling in your chest ends, and you find yourself staring down a flower. ...You know, till now, you didn't realize how big she is. "You have really pretty eyes."

Flowey just stares.

And stares.

You think you might have given her an aneurysm.

"Uhh... Flowey? Are you okay...?"

The flower takes in a deep breath, before sighing. "Get off my tank." Her eyes are averted as she says, "A girl really shouldn't be sitting like that."

You look down, finding yourself sitting on the barrel in the least comfortable way possible, which is also not very skirt-friendly.

Well, this just became awkward.

You carefully climb closer to the flower, not giving up on flirting just yet.

"Wait, what are you- Wait, stay back!"

You soon plop down next to the flower.

"...How are you even alive?" Flowey grumbles in frustration. "You really are too much like her."

"Like who?"

She looks to the top of your head. "...Where'd you get that hat, anyways?"

"My grandmother gave it to me when I was little."

A dawning look of mystified horror rises to the fore on Flowey's face. "She reproduced...?"

You raise a brow. "Well, that's kind of a given. It's a little hard to have a grandchild otherwise."

Flowey looks to you. She looks you up and down, looking for something, yet you aren't sure what. "...And she's still human. Good."

"You knew her?"

"You could say that." She looks to you, her petals brushing across your face. They feel almost like the membrane of a bat's wings. "She still alive?" You nod, earning a- actually, that grin is downright terrifying. "Then I'll have to pay her back for leaving us all here..."

Huh. Well, then. Late the the party, but I'll accept that!

"That must have been a long time ago."

Flowey sighs. "It was; a lifetime ago, practically." She shakes her head. "I know what you're doing kid, and it won't work."

Being brushed off fills you with determination: Determination +1! Determination increased to 7.

You pull her into a hug. You learn quickly that it's difficult to hug something so thin, but keep going anyways.

You decide to aim higher, however, hugging her head.

"...This is extremely uncomfortable."

"I figured."

Flowey doesn't say to let go, though, so you take that as a small success.

Flowey eventually sighs. "Idiot... You really think all this can be solved with just a hug...?"

"Yes."

Flowey just sighs, unsure of what to do, it seems. "...You really think my eyes are pretty?"

"They're like onyx."

This gives her pause. "That... was a compliment, right?"

"Onyx is beautiful when it shines right."

The flower sighs, thorny vines wrapping you just a bit. "Thanks."

You smile. "Think nothing of it." You wince at being pricked by a huge thorn.

With a jerk, the thorns are removed. "Oww!"

Sadly, that made the bleeding worse.

"Crap, crap, crap... Kid, do you have anything to stanch the bleeding?"

16/20

You begin to rummage for a bit.

You eventually find some gauze.

Flowey proceeds to snatch it, awkwardly unbuttoning your shirt.

10/20

After a bit, you find yourself feeling a little woozy, but the bleeding has stopped.

Maybe you should have helped.

Flowey flicks blood from her vines. "Man, I forgot how much humans bleed..."

Well, that's more than a little concerning.

[x] Thank her.

Ah drats late to the party.

Flowy's here? I think I know who she is.

[X] Rummage pockets for food.

You give the flower a smile. "Thanks, Flowey."

The flower blinks, surprised by that. "...I just nearly killed you and you're thanking me?" You nod. Flowey gives you a flat look. "And you see nothing wrong with this." You nod again, earning a sigh. "Seriously, if you keep that up, you're going to die. Maybe not down here, but when you head outside? It's kill or be killed." She frowns. "And I don't want that to happen to you, too."

"Well, why don't you come with me?" Flowey blushes. "...Flowey?"

The flower shakes her head. "I can't protect you out there. The, uhh..." She blushes. "The tank won't fit through the door. It's the one oversight I made while putting it together."

"Well, why not make the door wider? Or, you know... make a tunnel?"

Flowey stares at you.

"What...?"

Flowey sighs. "Why didn't I think of that..."...But still, I shouldn't. Then they could get in."

"What, are you a wanted criminal?"

"Well..." Flowey peters off. "I don't want them getting to Satori. She's all I have left anymore, and, well..." She shakes her head. "Still, maybe I could give you a phone."

You wave yours. "I have one."

She eyes it. "Give it here. No reception, right?"

"Yeah. What's up with that?"

"We're underground. I'm going to boost the signal."

"...How much?"

"Huh?"

"Well, if you plan to boost the signal... it's not going to give me cancer like cellphones from the early 21st century, will it?"

Flowey's flat look returns, mixed with disbelief, before sighing. "Just give me the damn phone." You hand it over, and Flowey carefully flips it over a few times, looking it over. "Hrm... Where's the sim card go?"

"The back. Right under the battery."

"They still use those crap batteries up there?"

"No, we use fusion cells now."

"Took you long enough..."

You raise a brow. "You've been using them longer?"

"Well, we practically have a smorgasbord of bored geniuses down here who can do just about anything." Her eyes light up as she pops open the back, and she then gently pries out the battery pack, looking it over. "Not bad... They're really almost as compact." Flowey snorts. "Although, I'll bet they could get it smaller than this if it was custom made." She pulls out the sim card, before using several vines to pry open the back of the phone that was offered. Within five seconds, the cards have been exchanged. "There. Take both; it'll still give you a way to talk if you hit the surface." Her face turns threatening. "And you better not be alone."

You jump at the sight. "I wouldn't dream of it."

"Good."

You look at the phones. "Why do you even have a phone? Or a tank? ...Or the ability to speak? Aren't you a flower?"

"Because people die, because I'm that good, and because I'm not a flower."

"Well, what are you?"

Flowey sighs. "Anymore? I'm honestly not sure what to call me. So I stuck myself to a tank and called myself Flowey."

"Well, what were you before?" Flowey is silent. "Flowey?"

She sighs. "The past is the past."

You frown. "If that were the case, you'd have forgiven my Grandmother."

You earn a grumble for your troubles as you pocket the phones.

Flowey just sighs. "Your eyebrows look like they're having seizures."

Waggle not-waggle waggle waggle not-waggle.

Flowey can't help but crack a small grin.

The grin fills you with determination: Determination +1! Determination increased to 8!

You pump your fist. "Got you to relent to my charms!"

Flowey rolls her eyes. "If being an idiot can be called charming."

You chuckle. "Well, seeing as you smiled, well..."

"That was a pitty smile."

"Sure it was."

"Do you what my number or not?" Upon getting your rapt attention, she just rolls her eyes. "1."

You open your mouth.

You aren't sure what to say to that, so it closes again.

"...The loneliest number that you can ever choose, huh?"

Flowey wilts a bit at hearing that. "...I guess, yeah." She sighs. "But two can be as bad as one."

You nod. "It's the loneliest number since the number one."

Flowey can't help but chuckle at that. "I guess that transmission came from outside the barrier, then."

You have to wonder whose phone number is 2, though, judging by her words.

She sighs. "Anyways, I really should be going. Watch out for Satori."

Before you can ask what she means, she just kind of... sucks into the ground.

The whole tank goes, too.

How?

...Wait, what was that about a barrier?

[] You spy some vines on the wall. Maybe you could make a rope and go down into the pit surrounding where you came from. Because obviously that's a good idea.

[] You think you spy some stairs leading up.

[] Insert number to dial.

Ahh, sorry about that. You could always vote to call her and say that.

Hm. Curious. I have a couple guesses about whose role she might be in, here, but not at lot of evidence yet.

You take out your phone, hitting just the 1 button, putting it to your ear.

You hope it works.

"...Err... You know, I was intending you to call later." There's a pause. "Not that I mind, I guess. I mean, I really just wanted to put my tank away." Another pause. "...And I didn't want to keep you."

You smile at her saying that. "Thanks."

"Still, why are you calling?"

"Well, I was wondering how you made that tank. It was really cool."

You can practically hear the blush on the other side as she says, "You really think it's cool..."None of the others really get it. And the others that do get it also want to experiment on me."

You decide to move while you talk, heading for the stairs, limping as you do so. "Well, you are a fine specimen." Silence greets you, and you rub the back of your neck. "...Sorry."

She sighs. "No, no, I know you're weird. Just not sure what you meant by that is all. I'm not so good at figuring out what people mean over the phone."

You chuckle, before trying to push- pull open another set of doors you come to.

It's embarrassingly easy.

"So, tank?"

"Right! ...That's kind of a broad topic, though. I mean, there's a lot more to my tank than meets the eye."

The sight of the ruins looming over you fills you with determination! Determination restored!

Heh.

Vote called! I've waited plenty long enough, I feel, and I know exactly how to weld these two sets of votes together into something usable.

[x] Jump into the center to try to find a secret button
-[x] If that doesn't work, try to open the door without touching the buttons

I want to 'fail to try' because I don't know how to 'try to fail' and doing neither of those sounds... Unpleasant.

I suck at puzzles though

You know, now that you think about it, having that hard, thick, very sharp thing driven into you wasn't unpleasant. "Well, what can you tell me about the, uhh... the thorns?"

There's a pause. "Thorns...?" A long silence reigns. "Well, I suppose I used briar thorns as inspiration in the design of the vines and as a way to deter people from trying to climb the main body itself."

"In simpler terms?"

"Pointy bits keep hands off me."

"...Less simple terms?" You head up the stairs, opening the next door. What greets you makes you raise a brow.

Puzzles. And is that riddle you spy?

Dastardly...

"Well, I worked in concert with the local botany expert, though she insists it isn't her field of expertise. However, she was able to not only improve upon my hybrid of flora and steel, but even recommended how to add a passive defense that does wonders against the graffiti of the courts of the fae and other less desirable creatures. This works by not only taking advantage of the defenses of the rosa family, but I also employed ideas I got from reading a book on quilled fauna. I managed to make the thorns not only less liable for breakage by incorporating a steel endoskeleton of sorts, but also was able to make them tear through flesh when pulled out due to a barbed tip, magnifying any damage done and leaving horrible wounds behind. I considered making them also inject a weak neurotoxin, but in the end it seemed like a bad idea, as they are easy to prick yourself on. Yuuka also said," She takes on a grouchy, squeaky old lady voice, "Sometimes, why not isn't the question that needs be asked, but why." Her voice returns to normal. "Now, to get the rose bushes to breed with solid steel unsurprisingly didn't work, so I instead decided to dabble in manipulating them on a smaller scale, and over the course of a few decades had a viable steel briar to use in my armor. It was far simpler to make the vines themselves work, as all I had to do was breed the briars with thicker and thicker plants and then introduce species' with more flexibility and finally a hollow stalk. However, the first issue came when I had to actually make an armor out of it, as I only had roses and tree-thick spiked noodles. So, I used the experience I gained to splice a little hedera into it and make them grow. Now, normally that's useless, but that's the best part! The frame of the tank is simply steel, so I added small arches for the vines to go through. Normally that wouldn't add much, but then I turned it into a woven layer of thorny vines that are actually 12 inches thick in total! So, from there I had my armor, but that left only one loose end."

Reading walls of text fills you with determination! +1 Determination. Determination increased to 9!

"Yes, the thicker vines."

"Yes, the- wait, you were actually listening?"

"Well, why wouldn't I be?" Flowey thorns. The thought alone makes you shiver.

Flowey gets a little quieter. "Well, I, umm... I was trying to tease you..."

Ohh. "...Ohh god, not the talk of vine-steel-rose-sorta tree hybrids." You gave your best rendition of forced acting.

You receive a snort for your troubles. "You know, if you didn't go through all the trouble of listening to that, I'd say you were horrible..."

You stare at the sign with spite.

Many try and fail, and many fail to try;
prove you are neither and wind up.

You see a circle of 8 square buttons, no button in the center of the 3x3 button square.

By the way, you have 16.3 hours till I call the vote no matter if you solve it or not.

[X] Stand in the center of the buttons

The image doesn't work for me. I'm not the best at puzzles, but I assume what the riddle is saying is that you have to both do something and not do something to succeed. Or I could be completely misinterpreting it.

>>188307 Here
Nevermind, picture works.

[X] See if there's any kind of winch or crank you can wind, and if not, press the top button; it asks you to "prove you are neither and wind up."

Yuuka, huh? Sounds fun. I wonder if we'll ever meet her...

Hrm... It seems I took too long it writing. Anyways, I'll just start on the full update, now.

Vote called in 12 minutes!

You tap your chin. "Hrm..."

"What?"

You study the puzzle a bit.

Try and fail... So, few succeed at solving it?

Fail to try. ...Maybe they don't get it at all and never try?

But if I do neither of those things, I'll die.

"Human?"

You try jumping in the center of the square, though you only just manage to not fall over.

Nothing happens.

Hrm... Action through inaction... Well, if action counts only the buttons, maybe hidden buttons..."

You search for a button in the center of the square.

You find none.

You jump out of the center and look for hand holds on the door. Finding none, you decide to push. Next, you try pushing up.

Next, you limp on over to the sign, reading it.

I really hope this doesn't somehow kill Renko before I can check again.

>>188320

Noted for future reference. It's meant to be a reference to the first puzzle of the game, and how normally Toriel does it for you, really. As the creator of the puzzle likes books, I took a crack at making a good puzzle. I didn't actually expect you to beat it. Was actually planning for "Toriel" to do it for you.

Which you did, by the way. Beat it, that is. Good job.

And for that, you've impressed someone! How nice! Now they'll take you seriously! How nice!

Normally I'd have let it sit, but, well...

You limp along from that point, hitting 1:30, 3, 4:30, 6, 7:30, 9:00, 10:30, and finally 12:00 again.

Mind you, every time you released the previous button, it does make the door smash back down, but after the fourth button, it stops doing so.

Upon hitting 12:00, however, you stop, looking to the door.

...You weren't expecting that.

Before you stands a horned fluffball a full two feet taller than you. You think she's a woman, but without breasts, it's hard to-

"In such situations, it's typically best to look for curves. Some kick you in the face if you make such a mistake."

You blink. Did she just..."

"Yes, I did."

Echo!

"I hardly consider myself a cavern, Miss Usami."

"Holy crud, you really can read minds!"

She eyes you up. ...Which is a little disconcerting, what with the fact it's not the ones on her face that do it.

"Yes, yes, my third eye can be can be construed as disturbing. I believe I shall be having words with you for making my niece uncomfortable now."

Why is she cracking her knuckles?

"Well, I must protect her chastity."

Your phone suddenly goes speaker. "Wait, Satori, stop!"

This gives her pause. She then smiles. "It is good to hear your voice again."

You hear grumbling on the other end. "Yeah, yeah. Look, this human's a good kid, so don't hurt her."

"I believe I know her better than you."

"Don't care."

"Now, listen here-"

"Shut up, mom."

This earns your flowery ally a blush.

Or you think it's a blush.

Really, she could just be bleeding, as the peach fuzz is pretty thi-

"E-enough. You need not think at length on such a thing." She sighs. "...Come. Your wounds are great; it was unfair of me to plan to harm you." Her words give you great comfor- "At least, not until you heal."

...I'm going to enjoy throwing that in. It's just too funny not to.

"Can I get your number?"

Satori looks at you strangely. "...Why are you asking my words what their number is...?"

Flowey chooses now to chime in. "Because she's insane."

Satori nods. "I have noticed, judging by the general motivations behind every action." She sighs. "And yet, I can't fault such honesty."

Satori mimics the voice of the save point. "It's 2."

You smile. "Thanks. ...So-"

Satori stares at you dryly.

You veer to the side verbally. "-where are we?" You think you did a good job of saving that.

While Satori glares at you, Flowey replies, "Well, judging by meeting Satori, I'd say you're in the Ruins proper. If you meant in general, well, welcome to Gensoukyou, I guess?"

You soon find yourself at a door that makes you raise a brow.

Is it... a hamburger bun..."

Satori answers simply, "It is."

It even has those little seeds.

Wait, is this another puzzle?!

Satori repeats, "It is."

Curse you, cruel fate!

You spy a sign beside the door.

Words spoken hold weight.

Weight before you open the door and proceed.

The door seems to be a golden brown hamburger bun, complete with seeds topping it, and the top is facing you.

>>188338 here
If the answer hasn't been said, the only thing I can think of is staying silent. If words hold weight, then maybe not saying them will hold onto the weight. It could also be a pun on "wait", but I'm not very good at riddles.

[x] Take Satori's order, then try to open the door.

Let's play wait-ress.

>>188321
Ahh, I see. I admit I haven't played Undertale myself, so unfortunately that was lost on me. Incidentally, I'm assuming Satori is supposed to be Toriel? Satoriel...

>>188343

Well, yes and no. She's filling the shoes of goat mom, yes, but she's also her own person.

Mind reading does change quite a lot, after all, depending on the potency and how detectable it is.

Growing impatient, Satori advises, "The door is a sesame bun."

oh god damn it

[x] Say "Open sesame."

>>188346

Ding ding ding!

We have ourselves a winner!

>>188346

>>188349

Why are you doing this?

Why do you feel the need to punish us?

>>188351

Well, I think it's a bit more than punish.

>>188346
I guess those words were heavy enough.

>>188353

The door was the hint.

The sign was implying that it was protected by a verbal password, as a password has importance, or weight, tied to it.

The second sentence was meant to mislead and confuse, making one think it held a weight of its own, or that it was a pun, when in fact it was simply hiding the fact that the first sentence was what mattered.

It's a puzzle quite similar to the first, truly.

Words spoken hold weight.

Weight before you, open the door and proceed.

That's one way to look at it.

Another way is to simply apply the weight, or words in this case, before proceeding, as that opens the door.

Weight before you open the door and proceed.

I had a fun couple minutes thinking this punny door up.

roll! That's two for two! You've got this in the baguette. Better not bearclaw your hair out from all these horrible buns, as I know you'll just be cruller right back anyways.

Okay, I'm done. Update nearly done.

You begin to use your outside voice. "Mastication! Electrocution! Mastur-!"

Satori cuts you off. "No."

You begin to try climbing the huge bun, but get plucked off before you can try to bounce. "No."

You begin to sing a song you made to impress the burger.

It seems to not enjoy death metal. Judging by Flowey's shriek, she also doesn't.

DT7/10


"Hey, Bun. Guess what?" The bun seems disinterested. "...Bun? Is... is everything okay?" It looks downright depressed. "Wait, no, you can't be okay if you look like that... Bun, talk to me..."

Satori gives a light chuckle at your antics. "You could be an actor..."

Her words fill you with Determination! DT restored!

You smile. "Thanks, Miss."

"No, Satori is enough for me. Or, if you would prefer... ...No, never mind." Her face is a little red.

Flowey mutters, "Dodged a bullet right there..."

Looking back to the door, you decide to wait to weight. ...Or do you have a weight that can't wait? Wait, no, the weight can wait. But can the wait weight wait?

Satori give a wry smile. "Wait and weight, hmm?"

"No, no, weight and wait."

Flowey sounds baffled. "What are you two even talking about...?"

Satori chuckles. "We're merely solving riddles is all."

You are distracted from losing Determination!

You walk up to the door , clearing your throat. "I would like a large shake, extra fries, an icecream cone, chicken nuggets, a small empty cup, a large empty cup, and a bucket to mix it all in."

Silence greets you.

Flowey is the first to speak up. "She doesn't actually...?"

Satori answers simply, "She does."

Flowey adds after a bit, "How can you get extra fries if-"

"She's trying to lose weight."

"She's... not very good at it."

Getting no reply, your stomach growls.

Doing what any well adjusted, sane individual might do, you sink your teeth into the stone.

It seems to be made of rock!

Your hunger fills you with great strength!

You manage to bite through, ripping off one of the seeds.

You did lose a tooth, however.

Satori winces, holding her cheek. "Must you inflict unnecessary harm upon your person...?"

"What? What's going on over there?!" You're a little happy that Flowey cares. Puts a smile on your face.

Looking to Satori, you open your mouth, only for her to burst out in a fit of giggles. "Wait-ress. Good one..." She wipes a tear from her eyes with clawed hands. "It's wrong, mind you, but funny."

You smile, kept determined by kind words.

You begin thinking at length on just what the answer might be.

Growing impatient, Satori advises, "The door is a sesame bun."

You stare at the door, before slapping your hand into your face.

Slowly, ever so slowly, it slides down. "Open sesame."

The door glares at you. "No."

Satori shakes her head. "No, no, she said open sesame, not open says me."

The door grinds open.

Well, that happened.

I'm afraid there are far, far too many characters for such a simple arrangement.

>>188363

No, no, there's a much better character than for h?????????????????e????????????????????????r???????????????????????????????? than that! Not a bad idea, though.

>>188361
Well, what kind of font-changing are you after, exactly? If you mean something like changing text to display in Wingdings Comic Sans vs. Arial, for instance, I don't think that's possible on these boards. Wingdings itself seems to mostly work though, judging by the post I made in the test thread, if you want it. Zalgotext it looks like you've got a handle on, though I believe some characters won't display properly in certain browsers. And if you mean the kind of stuff Fell does in his stories, I think that's mostly a matter of finding the appropriate Unicode characters for the symbols/etc. I'm not 100% sure on that, granted.

Also, Sonanoka, would you still be all right with me starting up my own Touhou-Undertale story? It'll probably be in /others/ and I expect yours to get more traffic, but at this point I'm pretty sure that at least several major character roles will be very different, which is what I was waiting to determine. And of course the overall tone, direction, Hard Mode etc. look like they'll diverge too, I just wanted to ask again in case you've changed your mind.

Oh, and your tripcode seems to have changed 3 times in your last 3 posts, not sure if that was intentional. And is there a risk of reading too much into the email field in your posts?

>>188365

Well, what can I say? Frisk is known for being a flirt, and, well... Renko has high expectations~

and pacifist, but still.

Anywho, go right ahead! I'll be sure to check it out! It'll be fun!

redeemable horrible monsters.





Anywho, update is a go! See you in Other, Anon!

-

Satori's face goes red. As you open your mouth she simply raises a hand. "I'm fine." She's averting her eyes.

Her third eye continues to bore into you.

Satori quietly adds, "The best I've been in quite some time, even..."

Now it's your turns to blush and look away. You didn't intend her to hear you consider calling her that.

Right, now to change the topic. "So, erm... You three come here often?"

You get the silent treatment.

Flowey sounds vaguely bemused. "I'm not even there, you know."

Satori seems amused. "And I'm hardly seeking a mate, even if you mostly meant the other two." She smiles a bit. "Still, thank you for the sentiment, you strange, strange girl.

The door seems highly reused. Just look at the wear down her path.

Satori snorts. "You truly are an odd child."

Flowey seems offended. "Wait, Satori is way hotter than some door!" This makes Satori go beet red. "...Why is nobody replyi- Ohh. Uhh... G-gotta go!"

You hear her hang up.

You're left with a flustered, fluff, fantastic- "Stop before you run out of f-words I would be comfortable hearing." She gives a small chuckle regardless.

That's sound advice, really. After all, you soon would have called her fu-

"No."

What? Fun is a good thing to be!

Her face somehow gets redder.

Great, thanks. That double-meaning did occur to me, heh. And my take won't be following the plot of Undertale directly either, more taking inspiration from it. I much prefer redeemable horrible monsters as well, so looking forward to seeing what you do with those two.

When in doubt, follow the tide!... But I think we should also go for another bite of the door. We can't bite Satori though, that'd be rude. Let's settle for a lick instead.

New thread getting close! I can't believe we're this close to a new thread so quickly...

>>188378
Going at the current pace we are now, there are going to be a lot of threads coming.

>>188379

Ohh, most certainly!

Also, dang was making a proper representation of Satori hard.

Making her fuzzy wasn't easy.

Anywho, update up shortly~

Satori clears her throat. "Perhaps we should avoid causing me unnecessary pain for the moment, hmm?" Sighing, she adds, "Shall we go? It would be good to multitask at the very least; if you need me to, I could..." Her face heats up just a bit. "I could guide you by hand..."

You smile, offering a hand. Satori responds in kind.

You both just kind of stand there, offering hands.

Thankfully she realizes your thoughts of having a hand-offering contest.

Sadly, she also accepts your challenge with a bemused smile.

While you do so, you take in your surroundings.

There's a surprising lack of much surrounding you, but the ground is tiled purple, and the walls are purple brick.

Save for the vines, it's a little bland.

Satori looks slightly offended, so you wisely decide to change the topic.

You eye Satori. Her outfit looks quite nice, the way it clings to her. A blue blouse with a pink, floral skirt. All the gold hearts seem a bit gaudy, though.

Her mood gets more irate.

In a good way!

She rolls her eyes.

Good, wompa placated.

"I'm a satori, actually."

...You feel you should have guessed that.

"Yes, you should have."

You decide to eye her horns instead. How risque.

"I'm unsure how to feel about you thinking of me as a surogate mother and yet still having these thoughts."

You blush, looking off to the side, as she has a point.

Instead, you decide to breathe in the scents around you. Mold, mildew, and... grilled chicken?

"Your nose is surpringly good."

You smile at the complement.

Next is taste. You proceed to lick her hand, earning a chuckle.

You also learn that she uses shampoo, bleh!

"Such a strange child." She proceeds to pick you up in a hug. It's uncomfortably strong, but not crushing, as if she knows exactly how you feel. "Well, yes, I do; I feel what you feel."

You proceed to pinch your own rear, earning a yelp from her.

"You're terrible..." She sighs, but doesn't place you dow- Ohh, there you go.

You find yourself before a dummy hanging by a noose.

"...Is she going to be okay?"

You earn an odd look from Satori. "Why yes, this dummy will be. Or would be. I want you to attack her with all your might.

Satori stares at you cautiously a moment, before pointing out, "From considering me your mother, to considering me attractive, and now considering my death? Such an odd child." She sighs. Upon noticing your strange look, she adds, "Ohh, my mistake; that wasn't you."

You try to ignore who that might have been as you look to the doll, clearing your throat. You take a deep breath, concentrating to an unreasonable degree, and flirt like you're in an anime. "I LOVE YOUR NOOSE! IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE THE LOVELIEST DOLL TO EVER HANG AROUND!" Satori giggles as you go red in the face from pure effort. "WILL YOU HANG OUT WITH ME?! I'D LOVE IF YOU WOULD GO DO STUFF WITH ME! IT WOULD BE THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME AND I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER and ever..." You wheeze as you try to catch your breath.

You burst a blood vessel, gave yourself a horrible headache, hurt your throat and nearly blacked out!

However, you also got a great workout, somehow!

Satori sighs. "You realize you're going to black out if you keep this up, correct? Furthermore, I intended you to learn to-" She looks to the doll with concerned alarm.

Glancing back to the doll, you find it staring into your soul.

It's also too close for comfort.

It also has a creepy smile.

It also looks crazed.

It also is crying.

Bringing life to a doll fills you with Determination!

Well, resetting is only restricted if you let it be.

You stare at the doll. She stares back, her tears dripping from those unblinking, soulless eyes.

Satori chimes in, "If she is what I believe, soulless is the least of her problems and the most of yours."

The doll's tears flow with greater power.

You feel bad for it.

You pull it into a hug, feeling strangely like you're being egged on to a ridiculous degree. It struggles.

H?arder?.

You squeeze it a bit tighter. It squirms.

H???a?r??d?e??.

You squeeze a bit harder. It wiggles.

H????a?????r???d??e???r?????.

You give it a bear hug, feeling the slightest urge to eat a bear claw! It stops struggling.

You practically crush the doll in your arms, and it falls to pieces with a tiny smile on its equally tiny face.

Satori looks around, as if trying to look for something.

I'm going to assume Koishi is causing the zalgo text.

You look upon what you've done with horror. "Ohh no..." You begin picking up pieces and try to fit them back together, tears in your eyes as they just don't want to hold.

The doll watches you, the tears gone, replaced with a smile

"No, no, no, I didn't mean to!"

It mouths its thanks, then closes its eyes.

"Wait, no, you can't! You... Whoever you are, please don't die... I'm sorry..."

Its eyes open again, quicker than you'd expect for someone dying.

Her eyes opening at a completely reasonable speed fills you with determination!

"Maybe I can fix you!"

The doll stares. Somehow it makes you worried. It then smiles.

You decide to take that as a yes. "Okay, let's see... The knee..." You take her elbow joint. "Is connected to the leg..." You connect it to the lower arm. "And that connects to the ankle..." You connect it to the knee joint.

The doll looks vaguely worried for what form you may force upon her unwittingly.

Your phone begins to ring.

You look between the two of them, weighing the options. On one hand, maybe Flowey. On the other hand, fixing the doll.

The choice is obvious.

The doll looks extremely worried for what shape she might end up twisted into by the end of this as you start multitasking.

"Hello...?" Neck, foot.

"Renko, I-! ...Wait, what's wrong?" Elbow, calf.

The doll curses her multi-purpose joints.

You sniffle, wiping your tears with the leg, much to the doll's disconcert. "I accidentally hurt someone really badly!" Calf, knee.

The doll mourns her flawless form. So close, yet so far away...

You knee her in the crotch. "Well, that's great!"

You look to the phone in horror. "No, it's not great! I just wanted to hug her..." Crotch, ankle.

The doll mourns the symmetry of her hips.

"Wait, what..."But you're supposed to! What part of kill or be killed don't you... ugh. Who am I kidding. You're you, so I can't see you hitting a fly, let alone not hugging everything you see..." She pauses. "Maybe hitting on a fly, but..." She sighs.

You blush a bit at being paid such close attention to.

The doll flushes with anger at being paid so little attention to.

You finally plug in the last part and smile. "Okay, all dooooooooooooooooo..."

She has tears in her eyes with a look of indignation on her face at what you've done to her. Neither of you are quite sure how this came about.

Satori seems to have also gone missing.

Yeah, no kidding. You can give someone a lobotomy easily enough if you put their mind to it.

Sorry about the delays, guys, but I'm working to upload the first chuck of the story to my site of origin, as I don't like leaving people out of the fun.

I'll try to get something up shortly.

The doll levels a look of hatred on you after hearing your words, making you flinch. It mouths that it hates you, before undulating off like a centipede.

This doll is oddly emotive for being made of wood and having no lips to speak of.

It's kind of cute.

>>188461

Nope. Just adorably terrifying.

I find spiders adorable, so... yeah. Sexy, sexy legs.

But in all seriousness, just try searching for good standard Hourai_doll pictures on Danbooru. Seriously, there just plain aren't any. It's all cutesy, simple stuff. If I'm one picture in and can't find a single suitable Hourai picture, that's gonna suck for me. So, now you get pictures of cetipedes instead.
