Gaster listens patiently until the end. "Two noteworthy things were found in the human SOUL I experimented on. DETERMINATION, and KARMA. Both merely empower a SOUL, for better or worse. I found that both substances enabled me to send messages to the past, and change the future. In practice, Determination allowed me to create information that did not, and could not exist, by manipulating the properties and behavior of electrons." "My goal most certainly was not Godhood. I planned to create a weapon powerful enough to shatter the barrier, using Paradox-Energy from a single hu

Dackly deflates with a sigh. "Wow! That was exhausting. Thanks evil guy! Ugh. It's like trying to argue with your high-school self, with the exact same flavor of petulant bickering." "Oh, but uhh, fair warning, I think we're all still pissed at you, yaknow, evil and all that. Sounds like you're at least after the same thing we are though, so good on you! We happen to both like the multiverse existing, and that's some common ground I can get behind at least!" Dackly comments, picking at her ear. "Dackly... I wouldn't be so familiar with this individual. They did pu

"Oh please! Of all the people, of all the beings in all the worlds, you are the one I like the least in my decently long life of exploration. You've got no place among my friends, don't worry about that." "You're misunderstanding this situation, which is that I'm giving you good advice. Medusa died, then her clone died again, then another clone died a third time." "Medusa isn't someone you should aspire to be. You think I'm fixed? That I think you can be fixed? God no! But I've got friends, wealth, a home, food and drink, goals that I can achieve, and I haven't di

"You're a clone. Just like me. Or did you get one blow to the head too many and forget?" Dackly reminds. She quotes from memory. "Add a pinch of memories to a ton of souls, put them in a blender and hit frappe!" "The fact that you're somehow able to lie to yourself, now especially, is proof of your mental strength. But it's over. You want truth? Here it is!" Dackly jabs a finger at the fallen foe. "You're not Medusa! You suck at being her! So just give up and be someone else already! This might be your only chance to do it!"

Gaster frowns. "To be frank, I've no clue who you are. Being scattered across time and space is... well, I would not recommend it, but unless you have traveled the same paths thousands upon thousands of times, I doubt I've seen you." He pauses. "Ah. The branches of time. Of reality. So many iterations of the exact same event. With so many ways it can unfold..." "Parallel universe are... Very... Interesting. Wouldn't you agree?" Lost in his own little world, it takes Gaster a moment to process what Nader had said. "You'v

Scout Skipper begins using Murder Dance to amp up her groove. Her Jittery moves are sure to get the enemy bones moving!

"When all the truth does is make your heart ache, sometimes a lie is easier to take," Dackly says with a smile. "Was it really that much better, being you of all people? At least I had some stuff going for me." the gorgon questions sadly. "You threw away your future to reclaim your past. You are now what you once were, but now you can never be what you would have been." Gozer admits confusingly. Dackly looks confused, but continues. "Uhh, yeah. And that. Look, just give up, really. You can't beat us in a fight, but like, even if you did, so what? You

Nader finds, once he returns to the lab, that Gaster's situation seems to have already been dealt with. Another member of the party found a confluence of thick, churning darkness, and after purging it for hours, began to rip monster after monster free of the timeless void within it. The skeletal scientist is investigating a vial of the black sludge that was once his entire world under a microscope.

As Scarlet stomps off, Sucrose simply huffs, crossing her arms. "I am a perfectly serviceable at repairing organics, unless any of you happen to have molecular imaging structures in your eyes as well."

Toriel offers Lucine a sympathetic look. "No, it looks fine on you. As I've mentioned, Asriel has been... Excitable. It seems he struggles to contain himself. He has had a few minor outbursts before this, but we are being patient with him."

"Well duh! There's a resource crisis going on! I don't know the details, but the empire can't exactly afford to waste any resources on frivolous things right now." Sucrose says. "I wouldn't know anything about morality, though. I leave that sort of thinking to those sort of thinkers." she says, unsure how to respond to Scarlet's assertion that the empire is morally wrong.

Asgore's brow furrows at the mention of Gaster. "That's odd. I seem to recall Dr. Alphys having been the Royal Scientist, and yet, I don't recall Dr. Gaster being removed from his position." "No matter. If information on how to aid Gaster is to be found anywhere, it would surely be at his laboratory. I believe you were there once already."

"Well, I don't know how you organics organize your empires, but with Gemkind, every gem fills a tailor-built purpose. We have Quartzes for the soldiers, Rubies for the bodyguards, Lapises for Terraforming." "I don't know the details, of course, but Sucrose, the organic chemical produced by many forms of plant life as a chemical fuel-storage method, has a crystalline structure that can effectively harness light when incubated correctly in a Kindergarden environment, so someone decided to see if my line could serve a purpose too, and produced a few of us for testing." Sh

Arminius- "Y-yes, in fact, uhh, let's not mention that you can even do any of this..." "I don't think the p-people here would be t-too pleased with uhh..." "You know." she finishes, waving abstractly to Arminius's menagery. Lucine- When Lucine returns, the goat-kid notices her outfit and giggles uncontrollably, with emphasis on the "uncontrollable" He is herded out of the room by Chara, who pats him on the back sympathetically. "He is a bit excitable right now," Toriel apologizes. It seems that regaining one's soul is not without side effects.

"That's weird... Didn't you say you were here to get Swagged Needles, Anesthetic, and Disinfectants?" Sucrose recites with a finger to her chin. She shrugs with a smile. "And I haven't met any organics at all! Well, other than a few samples that I got to have a look at when my line was being tested. Those ones weren't very interesting though." She gets a wider smile at this. "Oh, but just imagine if I had access to organic lifeforms like yourself. I could have proven without a doubt the use in my line's purpose. Oh well." Sucrose giggles as i
