Met the kid for their final judgement. My job as a royal guard, I gotta meet any human that comes through and try to stop them, if necessary. It's part of my job description. I explained to them about LV - or LOVE, or Level of Violence - and EXP - or Execution Points. It sounds kinda dark but it's like, our system. If it's high enough, I gotta act. I mean, honestly, I can't think of how high it'd have to be for me to actually do something since like, I'm weak and Asgore is the strongest monster in the Underground. Seems stupid to stand in between someone who wanted to hurt me and the guy who can hurt them back.
But the kid didn't have any LOVE or EXP at all. None. They hadn't killed a single monster. They'd gotten through everything and never raised a hand to nobody. They charmed every monster they encountered, and they made it to me. As I put it, they gained love without gaining LOVE. I let 'em pass. It was kinda sad. There's only two outcomes: they kill Asgore and go through the barrier, or Asgore kills them and we have our seventh soul. They chose the first one.
I mean, I don't know what happened in there, but I like to think that that kid I was rooting for didn't have it in them to kill anyone, let alone a guy like Asgore. It's what I'm gonna go with. Something must have happened, and I don't know what, but things are...well. The queen returned, and humans are being treated as friends, not food, to borrow a phrase. Our human souls that Asgore had all disappeared, so, if we tried that route it'd take us a while to get out anyway. We're just...biding our time. I tried calling them but all I got was voicemail. The kid never was very talkative, so we just left a message.
It's weird, but it felt kinda final. I guess my dreams'll just be in the Underground forever. I'm strangely okay with that, because I know somewhere out there, the kid's safe. I never even learned their name, but I know I'll never forget them.
Anyways, on a lighter note, woke up with a joke book that's got a quantum physics book inside of it. And inside of that physics book is another joke book. There's like five iterations of this. My dreams are full of awesome gifts, holy crap.
