[For someone from a place of slightly more primitive technology, Lup seems to get a handle on her handheld device quickly enough, the elf framing her face perfectly in the screen, mouth curled to the side in a sharp grin. She looks totally in her element, confident and poised despite knowing nothing of this place or of the people who run it.

The one thing she does know is she needs out of here. Pronto.

For those unfortunate residents of Wonderland who know Taako, they may mistake this woman for him considering they share the same identical faces and long, elven ears. Her voice is a little different, naturally, but hey, elves get sick sometimes too, right?]

Now, I don't want to crush your game, but I'm gonna need the name of the nerd who runs this place, because I'm a busy woman who has exactly zero time for this bullshit. I can't fault you for wanting some of the good, ol' Lup brand to sparkle up this place, but it just isn't going to work.

It's not me, it's deffo all you.

And hey-- [She holds up free hand in front of the camera, which certainly looks to be on fire.] If you don't want to come out and face me yourself, I'll just start burning it down. I have a feeling that garden out front is gonna make for a pretty choice blaze. And I've got spell slots to burn, baby.

Your move. [And okay, that ending is slightly marred by the fact she struggles to figure out how to disconnect the call, but still!]

[The more that Toriel looks at her like that, the more Lup wants to mess with her. It's just how she rolls.]

To be fair, I did give y'all hella notice first, so I feel like I should be getting thanked more for being so considerate. But either way, I pulled back the flames so nothing to worry about, sis. Chin up or your face may stick that way.

[Toriel sighs a bit, and rests a hand on her face.]

Burning down someone's home is not really the kind of thing where giving notice suddenly makes it okay. Do not get me wrong, I appreciate that you have changed your mind- but given your attitude so far, it is really beginning to seem like your presence here is going to be a threat to others.

[restinglichface]

[Excuse YOU]

That's kinda rude. You threaten to burn down one place and suddenly you're a threat to others??

[didntknowbest]

Yes. Believe it or not, making threats tends to make you a threat.

[restinglichface]

Yeah, yeah. Like I haven't heard that before. Don't get all pissy that your shitty house trapped me here and I wasn't just gonna sit down and take it. I'm not here to pal around and make friends, lady. I just need a way out to get back.

And I'm not gonna burn up your freakin' home or whatever, but I'm not gonna just twiddle my thumbs and wait either.

Many people here would like to find ways to leave. Many people here also possess knowledge and skills which you most likely do not. But, by all means, go ahead and not make friends with people who could help you, and just threaten to burn things like a child throwing a tantrum until they get their way.

[restinglichface]

Sorry, babe. [And there's no turning down the sass in her tone now, the touch of a sneer to her expression. It's been a Bad Day and there are some things Lup just isn't going to put up with.]

I've got better things to do than get lectured by furry trying to be my mom. Never had one in the first place, so I deffo don't need a second.

[didntknowbest]

I am a Monster, not a furry.

[She has no idea what that term even means.]

I am not your mother, either. I am just trying to give you advice. If you insist on being hostile and going out of your way to bother people, then fine. Have fun being an unpleasant and terrible person.

[Lup is well over two hundred years old, so naturally she flips Toriel off before disconnecting the call.]
