When the boy - Asriel, he'd said - mentioned going to his mom and dad, Chara felt as though a bucket of ice water had been dumped over their head. Chara had never had good experiences with adults. Asriel's mom and dad would look upon Chara with distasteful eyes while spitting words like "creepy" and "devil child". They'd take Asriel away, and tell him all sorts of horrible things about Chara, and Chara would never see him again. Even worse, they'd make Chara go back home to their mother.

"No! I'm fine," Chara said. They tore themselves away from Asriel's supportive grasp even though their legs could barely hold them. Leaning heavily against the wall of the tunnel, they repeated. "I'm fine. Leave me alone."

Chara tried to inch back to the place they had fallen, away from the entrance that lay ahead, but their body failed them. They collapsed to the ground with their head dizzy and their scrapes and bruises screaming for attention. Chara cursed themself for their weakness.

Alphys is still at home, so I'm waiting for her to have something to respond to.

"I'm fine," Brooke said in response to Jack's question. "I was just wondering if, um..."

Fortunately, Brooke was saved from having to explain her thought process and make a decision when the other boy waved at them. Her dilemma solved, she gave a small smile and waved back.

"Hey. You may already know, but I'm Brooke and this is Jack. What's your name?" she asked.

It's fine if you take a while. This is supposed to be something fun, not something to make you stress about your response time or post quality, so don't worry about it, k?

Slowly, Chara blinked their eyes open. They were in a dark cavern, lit by a ray of sunshine streaming down from the gap above. Beneath them were golden flowers - they must have broken their fall.

They heard the voice of a young boy and turned towards its source. Chara was momentarily taken aback when they saw that the speaker had floppy ears and white fur. Whoever he was, he certainly wasn't human. Maybe Chara was hallucinating - perhaps their body was broken and bleeding out on the cavern floor while their mind was elsewhere, imagining anthropomorphic goats. Maybe that fall had killed them, and this was the afterlife. Their attention was diverted away from such macabre thoughts when the realized that the kid was asking them if they were ok and offering to help them up. They couldn't remember the last time anybody had cared about their well-being, so Chara decided to just go with it, and climbed to their feet with his help. This person, odd as he was, didn't seem all that bad.

"I'm Chara," they said. "Who are you?"

Brooke entered the gym with Jack, glad that a friendship was perhaps beginning to form. She looked around, trying to remember where she and Jack had been sitting, before deciding that it didn't really matter and picking a random seat. She patted the spot next to her, indicating that Jack was welcome to sit by her if he so wished. A little too late, she noticed that she'd chosen a spot close to a pale boy with dark hair - he'd been in the gym when she arrived, but Brooke hadn't had a chance to learn his name. Should she try to greet him too? He and Jack might get along. However, she was less comfortable in large groups of people, and she didn't know if Jack would welcome another potential friend, or be upset that she wasn't using the chance to talk to him. Brooke sat there for a moment, paralyzed by indecision.

No worries about the short length! Also, it looks like I was the one who kept you waiting this time, apologies for that.

Thanks for making the thread. Yeah, we don't need a long explanation post - we know what we're doing, and if it turns out that we don't, we can figure it out then.

Also, first IC post is up!

Branches smacked into Chara's face and roots threatened to trip their feet as they climbed Mt. Ebott, half-delirious with exhaustion. Dried tearstains were smeared across their flushed cheeks, evidence of the tantrum they had thrown. Earlier that day, their mother had said that they were worthless. They were a burden. They should never have been born. As she continued on in her screechy voice, Chara dodged around her and ran out of the house, tears still streaming down their face.

None of her words had come as a surprise, of course - they'd known what she thought of them ever since the occasion when she'd found them kneeling by the corpse of a bird. That time, it hadn't even been Chara's doing - they'd found it by the road, fresh blood staining its ruffled feathers red. The violent loss of life had fascinated them and drawn them to it like iron to a magnet. Then their mother had picked them up rushed them home. Behind closed doors, she slapped them, calling them a little freak. She locked them in the pitch blackness of the basement, and told them to think about what they had done wrong.

Chara had tried going to other adults for help, but nobody believed them. Why would they, when Chara's parents were respectable members of the community, and Chara was the ungrateful brat who always picked fights with the other children?

"Demon child," the neighbors had called them.

"Her parents must be saints for putting up with her," they'd said.

Chara hated the world and every human in it. Sometimes they wished that everything would disappear; sometimes they wished that they themselves would. They were determined to make one of those wishes come true that day. After all, travellers who climb Mt. Ebott are said to disappear.

The blisters on their feet were aching in protest of their long hike. Distracted by pain and anger, Chara failed to notice the gash in the earth or the twisting, snake-like vine in their path. They tripped, tumbling headlong into the pit. As they fell, they caught a brief glimpse of golden flowers - then they hit the bottom, and everything went black.

Thanks, I'll use that website if I start using image signatures.

Is it decided that we're going to RP Asriel and Chara, during their childhood together? If so, feel free to make a thread for it, or message me and I'll make one.
