I made one very recently, actually! I even shared it with quite a few people.

The snails were not quite as high quality as the ones from your farm, but it was still quite enjoyable.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

maybe i'll.... set up shop here...

in the dream, haha....what did you call it....

"wonderland?"

[if only they could stay here, in this dream.]

[didntknowbest]

Yes, that is correct. However, I can assure you that it is not a dream!

I understand if you do not believe it is real- it took me a bit to realize what this place was as well.

[She'd prefer not to get into how she thought she'd gone to Hell, when she first arrived.]

However, it is very real. I have been here for a few months already!

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

i mean i guess....

even if it isn't a dream, it's better than where i left, haha...

[didntknowbest]

Hm? Was there something wrong with where you came from?

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

it wasn't...

it wasn't good.....

um..... a lot of....

people....

weren't....

alive....

[didntknowbest]

Oh.

[Toriel's gotten so used to everyone coming from a time where everything's perfectly fine, everything went great, the human child didn't kill anyone at all, that somehow the possibility that someone might have come from a time like her own...

It had completely slipped her mind.]

Well... things are better here.

Though I understand if that does not give you much comfort.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

[napstablook stares at the words "i understand" for a good ten seconds before deciding to risk replying honestly]

it...
it really doesn't, i'm sorry...

apparently almost everyone else here is from a better time....

i'm....

i'm scared it will happen again...

i'm sorry...

[didntknowbest]

It does not give me much comfort, either.

I do not even know any of these people. They may as well be from entirely separate worlds, even though they apparently know me.

[She looks at the screen for a bit, taking a breath, thinking of what to say.]

I think that the time I came from is very similar to your's. From what I have seen so far... I do not think that it will happen again.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

...a time

.....like mine?

[In their time, she was one of the first to die. Does that mean..?]

um....

are you....

....are you okay?

[didntknowbest]

I am fine.

Here, at least.




[Another long pause, as she looks at the words she's typed out. It's just so... strange, to say something like this.]

I arrived here after dying in our world.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

i....

oh gosh i'm.....

i'm sorry.....

[they remember fleeing home, trusting her to stop the human, not thinking to warn her. if only they had known, if only they had warned her...]

i'm really, really sorry....

[didntknowbest]

It is fine. There is nothing wrong with me and no reason to be worried.

I am in perfect health here, and have even been able to reunite with people that I never thought I would see again.

Things can be better here than where we came from.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

that's....

that's good.....

i'm still scared, though.....

i'm sorry...

[didntknowbest]

It is fine to be scared. It... took me a while to adjust, too.

Really, I am probably still in the process of adjusting.

Please, take all the time you need, Napstablook. Nobody is going to rush you.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

i....

.....thank you

um if you ever...

want to talk about it....

i'm....

i'm her e

[didntknowbest]

I appreciate the sentiment, but there is no need to be concerned.

You should focus more on getting yourself settled in here, first!

I would be happy to assist you with anything that you need.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

thank you, Miss Toriel.....

i'll let you know....
