If the successful results of Pacifism alone were enough to brighten Frisk's day and give them hope and DETERMINATION, then the fact that Cloud was smiling and said that he was gonna have to buy Frisk ice cream after the mission further filled their heart with joy. They let out a happy gasp as a wide gaping smile of happiness stretched on their faces, and their hazel eyes open for once!
Eating ice cream with Cloud Strife? ...Yes, Please! (They could have sworn they heard a kazoo version of Cloud's victory music in the background!)
Frisk couldn't help but picture the future event as something similar to their date with Papyrus and Alphys, only with ice cream instead of spaghetti with an indescribable taste!
Frisk came down from the clouds when Alicia and Cloud voiced their concerns that the next floor bosses were not going to accept mercy like the Senior Brothers and Fatty did. After clearing their throat and putting their joy aside to focus on the mission, they nodded to the both of them and answered as their face went back to stoic facial expression, their voice somber, "
I understand. Guys, this won't be the first time I face people who won't accept mercy. But if I see another way when we do face them, I'll let you guys know,"
They then lifted their cell phone and used the dimensional cube keychain on it to switch out the stick with the toy knife. They looked at it and for a moment saw dust on it, before it went back to being a clean plastic toy. They really hoped that they didn't have to use this.
Before they went for the room, they looked to Cloud and commented, "
Oh! By the way, Cloud. You look even more awesome with a smile! ...Just so you know,"
Although that could come off as a flirt, Frisk meant it as a genuine compliment.
As they walked to the floor, Frisk noticed their stats, and noticed something that made them a little scared and confused. How did they gain L.O.V.E and Execution points from sparing those guys? Unless...Here, LV and EXP don't mean the same things as it does back home...? Shaking their head in order to not focus on it for now, they led the group forwards.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next floor looked like it was outdoors. Frisk was surprised to see themselves standing in a field of grass. It was sort of like Waterfall with that grass, and yet...they were reminded of when they freed their friends and family and they all saw the surface once more. Come to think of it...that was their first memory of actually seeing the sun wasn't it?
The peaceful scenery of the outdoors was interrupted by two voices, giving a similar dialogue to the Senior Brothers' speech earlier. They looked up to see that the sun and moon were personified. When Mr. Shine came close to take a look at them, Frisk felt as though they were in Hotland once again, close to the lava, so the heat didn't bother them too much (or at least it didn't look like it).
Frisk merely shrugged at the mention of the dark being scary. Sure, it can be scary, but it was only scary because of what could be lurking in it.
They noticed that the sun and moon seem to fight each other a lot. They were practically the polar opposite of RG01 and RG02! So, they probably couldn't play matchmaker with them this time. Nor did they seem too interested in puns. They did seem to be interested in proving themselves better than the other...
Maybe having them face each other while they sneak by would be best? ...No.
No. Having them fight each other, and possibly kill each other, was wrong. Frisk couldn't do that.
Soon enough, the two already settled it with a match of Rock Paper Scissors, with Mr. Bright winning the match.
The fight soon began and Mr. Bright made himself a rolling blade, barreling towards them threatening to cut them to pieces. Frisk called to the others, while they dodged! "
Dodge!"
As they dodged, they racked their brain, trying to figure out what they could do if not spare them. They noticed in their ACT menu, they had the option to flirt, and it was in a different text than normal. Was there was a special effect to this action now?
Once Mr. Bright was done with his first attack, Frisk figured they should try that flirt. They called to Mr. Bright to get their attention,
"
Hey Mr. Bright!"
If they got his attention, then they would flirt with a wink,
"
There must be something wrong with my eyes...because I can't take them off of you,"
Frisk is attempting to stun Mr. Bright.
Shantae had to admit that it was a little worrying that the bad guys Sparx mentioned might be here as well if the black cloaked man was here. She smiled at Sparx when he mentioned that he could fight too, and she listened as Cuphead reassured him saying that he almost got killed by a Queen Bee once. When Bently politely declined Taric's offer and showed off the mechanical arms, she couldn't help but think of her Uncle Mimic. He would probably have 1001 questions for the talking turtle. She could see the both of them getting into a long discussion involving inventions.
Wait...come to think of it, when Uncle Mimic finished building the 'Dynamo', or rather Risky Boots' version of the Dynamo that corrupted light magic into dark magic, Risky Boots came into the picture right away. How would she have had such good timing...unless she had been spying her and her friends? With that revelation in mind, and almost not paying attention to Taric when he gave his suggestions, she looked up at the ceiling. The Save Point Inn wasn't as open as the buildings back home. She looked at the door next, and with a look of suspicion, she quietly walked over to it. She opened it to a slight crack, enough for her to peek through. She caught sight of the black cloak heading for the stairs. She closed the door, just as quietly as she had opened it, and she looked to the others as she walked towards them.
She kept her voice low (hopefully to not further warn their target), but it was laced with agitation, urgency, and concern, "
Guys...If we're gonna go with this plan, then we need to do it now. He is on this floor, heading for the stairs," Considering they just saw him downstairs with a large sleeping fat cat moments prior, even Shantae could connect the dots and realize what that means...
He had been eavesdropping on them
She whispered to them, "
I'll cover the entrance. If he comes out there, I'll follow him. If any of you guys can follow without getting caught, then you are welcome to do so,"
It was clear that she wasn't going to wait. Her old habit as Guardian Genie was kicking in. She was going to rush in.
She started her transformation dance. After a quick belly dance and a final pose with light shining around her, her form changed into the same small purple monkey. Noticing that the window was already open, she darted towards it, and went through it. She skillfully climbed down the wall, and landed on the ground. She darted towards the entrance of the Save Point Inn, and hid nearby, so she could keep an eye out for that cloaked man, and follow him from a distance after he exits.
