We go into an other purple room.
It has a training dummy right next
to a darkened doorway.
"As a human living in the UNDER-
GOUND," Toriel says,"monsters
may attack you."
I remember Flowey and shudder.
"You will need to be prepared for
this situation."
I look past Toriel and at the dummy.
I wouldn't have to fight it,would I?
I didn't want to hurt anyone.
Once again sensing my uneasiness,
Toriel says, smiling, "However, worry
not! The process is simple."
Thank. God...
"When you encounter a monster,
you will enter a FIGHT."
I remember the white box and
heart from fighting Flowey.
That was a fight?
"While you are in a FIGHT,"
She continues,"strike up a
friendly conversation, stall
for time.I will come to resolve
the conflict."
We walk to the dummy near the
door. "Practice talking to the
dummy." Toriel says.
I walk closer and the same
white box appears around
my red heart. I'm still
surprised, just not as much.
Four buttons appeared in front
of me ; FIGHT, ACT, ITEM, and
MERCY. I stick out my hand and
press act. Two words appear;
CHECK and TALK. I press check
and hear a voice
"DUMMY - ATK 0 DEF 0. A cotton
heart and button eye."
Dummy looks like it's about to fall
over. I smile at it.
" Hi," I say. "I'm Frisk."
It doesn't say anything
Guess it doesn't seem much for
conversation...
"Ah, very good!" Toriel approves.
practically jumping." You are very
good."
She turns and walks trough the door
behind her. I feel good. Like I could
live without killing. Flowey was
wrong. I didn't need to kill to not be
killed.
I follow Toriel further into the RUINS.
