    Your whole body hurts. Not a sharp pain, but a dull ache over your whole body.

    You groan, and roll over on your side. You are on a layer of something soft, but you can feel hardness below, like a thick carpet. You open your eyes. An explosion of yellow and green meets them. For a moment, you can't make sense of it, but then your brain sorts the riot of color into a field of buttercups, almost glowing in the sunlight.

    Every one is turned to you, an audience to their unexpected guest.

    You sit up, and see that the field is actually a small patch growing on a mound of dirt over smooth rock. Beyond it, the rock extends a short way, then curves up sharply to the sky. You look up. Directly above, smaller than a postage stamp, a patch of sunlight cuts through the darkness of the cave you to, and your patch of buttercups. You boggle at it a moment. You can't see how you could have survived it at all, let alone without any injures. Seemingly on its own, your hand moves to the back of your head, pushing aside a thick sheet of hair to touch a bandage on the back of your head. The outside of the pad is wet.

    "Kid needs to toughen up." The sound of a belt snapping. "You think you can disobey me? Well, I don't like having to do this, but you have to learn th a t t h e w o r l d i s n ' t n i c e t o k i d s t h a t. . ."

    Father's voice. It's indistinct, already fading.

    The belt is clearer.

    There's a stick in your other hand. You don't remember where you got it. One end is pointed, but the other is frayed, like it was ripped off. Your palm on that hand is scraped.

    You're trembling. You fell down. You don't know where you are, you can't remember anything except that one memory...


    "Where am I?" you say.

    Or try to. When you speak, no sound comes out. Your mouth refuses to move. Instead, you just sort of...think it.

    Your eyes go wide, and you realize something: you aren't controlling your body at all. It's not your body. You don't know what your body is or looks like, but this isn't it.

    "H-hello?" your body-that's-not-yours asks in a tiny, frightened voice that sounded like it's had little use. "Is- is someone there? I heard you..."

    Memories come to you. You don't know if they are memories at all, but suddenly, you know things. Names. Kind Asgore and Queen Toriel Drem- no, Toriel isn't the queen. She lives in the ruins- these ruins. Flowey, a psychopathic flower, all that remains of the prince. Asriel. sans.

    You know everything...no. Not everything. You don't know who you are.

    The child- Frisk, the child's name is Frisk, but you don't know how you know that- trembles.

    You hear another voice. Another child's. This one is not afraid, but curious, and friendly.

    "I think I heard you too...is someone else in here?" A giggle. "It's OK. I was pretty shy too. Frisk can't hear me, though. Unless they're being mean and ignoring me. Can you? I think it's rude to ignore people when they're talking."

    Another name.

    Chara.

    -[X] "Um." You stifle a nervous laugh, considering what you're about to do. Maybe... maybe you could try something different? Try and jog some memories? "Well... My parents always had a flair for the Biblical. My name - my name is Asriel. Asriel ... Dreamer." It's hard to do this with a straight face. You're not sure what Chara will think, though. Oh. Wait a second. Maybe this wasn't the best idea after all.

    [X] Respond to Chara: "W-well! You know, maybe you could just call me Dreamer, instead? I don't know what they did naming me after an angel of death. Um, also, it's not pronounced "dree-mur," actually, it's, ah, pronounced... "Drey-a-mer?" You wait for a moment, as if waiting can erase the absolutely horrid cover you've tried to perform.

    That's a bit on-the-nose, don't you think?

    I highly doubt TG will let us play as Asriel, especially considering that Asriel is currently a flower at present.

    Ah, but if Chara's named Chara, hasn't the naming already been done? I'm just wondering if we can get the protagonist to fool around a bit and see if anything, well, happens. Given that we're not doing this through the naming menu, say, why not try and push the boundaries a bit?

    But if it'd not work in the end, that's fine. A bit of effort was expended and in either case the fact that this quest exists at all is already a great thing.

    In this case, it's just a name.

    'Hello. My name is G A S T E R.'

    Geez it is way too hard to find a source with Wingdings characters on it. http://www.alanwood.net/demos/wingdings.html seems useable though.

    EDIT- The fuck? a couple characters disappeared? Well, replacing them with lowercase equivalents seems to fix it.

    This looks interesting, not sure what the source material is though.

    Question: can we speak to either fellow inhabitant exclusively or can they both hear what we say any time we speak?
     
    Hmm, I want a serious name that's not a joke (or at least not an obvious joke). Some Lets Player I liked named Chara Klowbie, is that some sort of reference I'm not getting? If it isn't, that could be a name.

    ..This will be interesting.
     
    First Undertale quest on SV?
    Clearly there is but one choice:
    [q] Flirt.
    :p

    -[X] "I'm...uh...Iunno. Call me Alex."

    Chose 'Alex' as a temporary name as it is the best gender-neutral name I could think of on short notice (continuing the theme).
    I'm not opposed to a meta-referencing name - just can't think of one that's subtle enough.

    As soon as you say your name, you're locked out of everything. Both Chara and Frisk stop listening to you.

    And the narrator no longer feels the need to describe your actions.

    You've been completely and utterly ditched.
