WEEK 2

[akudamods]

Saturday passes uneventfully save a little rain. It's on Sunday that you get a little notification of probation for new areas: Neo-Nipponbashi and Chuo. It'd be possible to investigate, to check out some anime, or to worship the defunct Shinkansen. But maybe it's hard to get excited about any of that when Friday’s events suggest that you have simply been provided some additional photogenic places to commit murder. Are you going to bother either overseer after their participation in some mockery of justice? Troll the internet? Get a bat out of Hyper Zone and just take out your frustration on everything?

Those of you who entered the pods will experience fewer “painful bursts of color” as your body is unaffected below the knees, though the same amount of “slight teleportation” glitches. Those of you who abstained from the pods will continue to experience all of the above as well as electric shock sensations occasionally when touching metal objects.

Listen, I know you may think of this as just decorative, but remember our fight and how my name was yellow at one point? A yellow name indicates when someone wants to be spared.

So how about it, Rachel?

[It's funny. It's really the last thing she'd want. But she has a promise to keep. And if this might help...]

...okay. I'll take one.

[* Flowey hands it over with a playful wink.]

You won't regret it! ...Unless, of course, you want a different color name. All monsters have colored names they use. Not quite as important as puzzles in monster culture, but all monsters enjoy MERCY.

But anyways, just remember: Of someone tries to harm you and you want to be spared, bring out your yellow name.

[fixingtodie]

If yellow is for someone who wants to be spared then... what do the other colors stand for?

[your_best_friend]

...Sparing them. Yellow Names are just trendy at the moment.

Unless you mean something other than name colors.

[fixingtodie]

Oh... so the trends change, but the meaning stays the same.

I think I get it. [....] That would make it pretty important to stay updated on what's trending I suppose.

[Monster culture is fascinating.]

[your_best_friend]

Yeah! Though a human almost got all monsters to throw away their yellow names. Granted, they didn't know they were a human. Heh. Imagine monster fashion being dictated by a single human.

[fixingtodie]

Trends are like that though, aren't they?

People see something new and being tired of what they're used to, try something new. It's the same for humans.

[your_best_friend]

True... I've had my fair share of trend manipulation. My favorite color is red, but strangely, I like the yellow names the best. Might be because of the human. Frisk, their name.

[fixingtodie]

...Frisk? Is that the human that made the yellow names so popular?

[your_best_friend]

No, no... The yellow names were in style when they fell down to the Underground. They were just having a conversation with a Froggit about yellow names and they said they were fine.

[fixingtodie]

Huh... do humans fall down to the Underground often?

[your_best_friend]

No. Only eight of them ever did. Frisk was the last one.
