I saw this image when I was a kid. The photograph of Jupiter taken by NASAs Voyager. Beautiful. But nothing special until shown in rapid succession. Suddenly Jupiter was alive. Breathing. I was hypnotized.
But some secrets are so strange and so dangerous
that showing them to people makes the strangeness and the danger pour into their lives like a dark, dark ink.
i'm making a permanent starter call (mutuals only) because i'm an anxious little shit and it's hard knowing who i can just throw threads at
“N-No, that’s alright.” A monster. A boss monster, maybe? Callisto would’ve picked up their journal and tried to find their notes on boss monsters, but if they recalled correctly, that section wasn’t too extensive. There weren’t any books on the surface about them, and there weren’t too many monsters they’d met who knew much anyways. The journal stayed by their loafers.
“It’s nice to meet you, Gaster, and uh--none taken.” They laughed a bit nervously. They could’ve said the same about monsters a month ago. “My name’s Callisto.”
Gaster seemed both kind and friendly, but the childlike curiosity in his expression was a little off-putting. Callisto felt like a novelty, and they didn’t like that. It was like being someone’s science experiment. They ran a hand through their mop of light blond--it was almost white, really--hair and pushed up their glasses. Nervous ticks.
Cyan hues dappled the monster before them, the luminescence of Waterfall’s rivers and flora gentle on his smile. He didn’t appear hostile at all and paused a good few feet away the instant they stood.
“I apologize, I didn’t mean to startle you. My name is Gaster.” The volume of his greeting was muted, ginger - as if he’d just encountered a cornered animal he didn’t want to frighten off. “I was just on my way back from Snowdin. I’m surprised to be seeing you here, though. It’s not often I see your kind. No offense, of course.”
The chances of meeting a human in the Underground were slim; he was reasonably, but pleasantly, surprised. Still, Gaster respected a certain distance from Callisto. He was intrigued, yes, and he couldn’t help the glimmer in his eyes nor the bubbling excitement welling within him. However he wasn’t about to scare the child off.
“May I ask of your name?”
Rumor 'as it that you'll be tha' one settin' us all free. That true?
rumor has it; accepting
“Yes, sir!” Callisto nodded emphatically.
“Well, I mean… I’ll do my best. I just have to get through to Asgore. I’ve heard he’s very agreeable, though, so I think it’ll be alright.”
Smooth, Stars, & Smile~!
sweet & soft asks; acceptingsmooth- do you like classical music
“I love classical music. It’s very pleasant and calming; I liked to listen to it before I go to bed. Of course, I don’t sleep now, but it’s still very nice.”
stars- use one word to describe space
“I didn’t think there could be a question that could get me so stumped… Well, I guess… I guess the best word I could use is immense. But our universe is much more than that!”
smile- how was your day today
“I suppose my day was alright. There wasn’t anything unusual about it… Just the same old sort of thing…. Talking to you made it a lot better, though! I don’t get to talk to anyone much, since most the other souls stick around Asgore–God knows why. Don’t they know they can leave?”

“Hey, you’re bleeding!”
“Can you move?”
“You will be fine, I promise..”
“Don’t you dare to leave me. Not now.”
“We can get you fixed in no time.”
“Please get up.”
“I refuse to believe it will all end like this!”
“You won’t die, not on my watch!”
“Ouch.. that must hurt “
“Shit, wait.. I’ll patch you up.”
“What were you thinking?! You could’ve killed yourself!”
“I came too late..”
“You should’ve told me earlier.. I could’ve helped you!”
“I swear to god if you die on our way back I’ll kill you.”
“It’s nothing, just a scratch.”
“Look, no need to fuss over me. I’m fine!”
“Well, you see.. It’s a really long story. Will you help me or not?”
“I can’t make it.”
“I am dying. There is nothing you can do about it.”
“It’s not your fault, okay?”
“It just hurts… hurts so goddamn much.”
“Are you going to let me suffer more?”
“There is no happy ending to this.”
“I have been through worse…”
“I’m not going to lie, this is not how I planned this would go down.”
“They came out of nowhere.. I couldn’t react in time.”
“How bad does it look?”
“I knew this day would come.. sooner or later.”
