"...Well, I needn't gossip. It's rude to talk about someone who's listening."
His voice was almost hypnotizing now, knocking me into a trance of a false sense of comfort, hardly acknowledging his words until a hand placed itself onto my shoulder, a soft voice requesting my name,
"Frisk?"
Fear broke through the odd tranquility I felt, the world falling back into reality. As my mind spiraled in the sudden panic I was thrown into, a couple voices came through to calm the storm.
Cautiously turn around...
Just turn around... see who's talking...
The voices themselves didn't seem all that worried, and that calmed me just enough to get it together,

"You all think your tastes are too... refined for our pastries, don't you, dearies? Ahuhuhuhu... I disagree with that notion. I think your taste... is exactly what this next batch needs!"
I merely scoffed. "Not the first time a monster has tried to kill and eat me today." I was, of course, referring to Mettaton nearly killing me with a chainsaw in this 'Cooking With a Killer Robot' show.
"I, uh, don't think bones would taste very good!" Papyrus exclaimed rather loudly. "Try some spaghetti instead?"
As I continued to look, I expected Toriel to be just as freaked out as Papyrus, but she merely gave an 'are you serious?' kind of look. For a mome

So... there's the CORE. The huge, golden doors leading too it were right in front of me, hidden only by the fountain. The humming of the building and the bubbling of water seemed to pull me into a trance as I stared at it in silence. Not an... eerie silence, no. Just a realization, I guess. We're finally here.
Be extremely careful...
Who knows what's going to happen?
Good luck, guys...
Stay with each other...
The voices whispered to us, and I sighed quietly, relaxed by the simple fact that the voices were still with us. Yet, at the same time, their words worried me. Even they seemed unsure about what would happen. The voice's advice hasn't f

If any of them should go... Papyrus and Alphys have the best chance...
Alphys... Undyne...
Papyrus... MK...
Aaron... watch the cameras...
Everyone else... take a break...
I dug my nails into my palms. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but... the voices haven't screwed us over yet. "... Fine. Aaron should stay by the cameras, then, so he can tell us where you are. Alphys should go too." I grumbled reluctantly.
Papyrus' face instantly lit up with joy. Alphys' voice from the phone quickly exclaimed, "That should work! We'll be quick. Papyrus, take the elevators and meet me in front of the lab."
"Alright!" Papyrus grinned. I sighed. Too late no

Stay away from the shed...
Something is wrong in that shed...
Too dangerous...
Show Sans and Toriel the notifications...
Go meet Undyne....
I clenched my fists, at first not wanting to listen to the voices. I'd listened to them. I'd willingly let Papyrus and Alphys go because of their 'advice'. Now Papyrus was hurt, and Alphys was nowhere to be seen. I almost whispered an enraged response, but Toriel and Sans saw me nearly fuming with anger and walked over to me.
But... then I realized. How could they have known? Though it was hard to hear their voices at times, this time it was loud and clear. The voices were either alarmed or nervous, I c
First thing... look for Alphys...
...Make sure that Undyne and MK trust... before you look for Alphys...
... Build more trust... continue to search...
Three voices said different things, but all said to look for Alphys. I decided to make sure that Undyne, MK and I were all on good terms before we looked for Alphys. But how...
A lightbulb seemed to go off in my mind. That'll work! I'd mix the voice's ideas together. I'd gain Undyne's trust by looking for Alphys, before she even woke up! If Undyne trusted me, MK would surely trust me as well. In fact, I'd have MK help me look for her.
Shaking MK awake, I was met with a low growl. "'s my turn t

The voices were... quieter, this time. In fact, only one spoke. It seemed unsure, and it was hard to make out what it was saying at first. Though eventually, I heard clearly,
Best to try searching throughout the CORE together...
If that fails...
Check the elevator...
I silently agreed with them. We shouldn't dare to try and split up again, considering what happened last time. Leading the way, I began to explore the CORE, the heat burning around me to the point that I seriously wondered if the CORE was hotter than Hotland, and if it was, how long I'd be able to stay here without collapsing. Yet, I kept going, the words of Snowdrake's father s

Even though stealing is wrong...
I believe they are meant for you, Frisk...
Take 'em... you'll need them...
Take both of them...
Take care of your friends...
Stay safe...
Stay determined...
There's no label on them.... don't necessarily belong to anyone... shhh....
With a small chuckle, I realized the voices were making it very clear I should take them. I visibly smiled at the response I got, filled with determination as I placed the heart locket around my neck, and placed the dagger carefully into a pocket, my hand resting on it, ready to pull it out to defend both myself and my friends. It felt so right, so natural. The knife, I understood

I would suggest... Frisk tell Papyrus first...
Think it over first...
Tell everyone...
They've been with you a long way... they have the right to know...
Tell Papyrus... once he knows... Frisk and him can figure out a way to tell the others...
Many voices spoke, which comforted me quite a bit. Quietly, I listened to what they each had to say. It seemed like most of the voices wanted me to tell Papyrus everything first. Then... as much as I dreaded it, I'd tell the others too.
Hopefully the voices are right, and Papyrus will help me figure out how to tell the others. Because I have no idea.
The warm of upstairs hit me as we both passed the ch

BrokenTale: Chapter 48
A king, looking upon the kingdom he ruled, let out a quiet sigh.
It was times like these where the weight of the crown he wore was the worst. It was at times like these where the armor he wore no longer felt like it protected him- it felt like it trapped him to his role- to lead the monsters to the surface, no matter the cost. To protect his people with his life.
But now, it crushed him, the burden to bear felt too great. The king was losing hope.
He ruled a broken kingdom.
A quiet observer from the start, even now he felt hesitant to act at all. He hadn't left his castle since the human arrived.
The Ruins, the home the monsters all lived in
