Determination With Bones

Prologue

It was a beautiful day outside. And what I mean by beautiful, I mean by it, it nearly fucking blindied me when I opened my eyes, jesus christ. I have been working my ass off, doing night shift, and had to do a crap-ton of writing. On top of that, I wanted to get an extra day off to draw for a day. But my boss being a dick, said ‘No, because you are taking too much time off!”, It pisses me off everytime! I shook the thoughts out of my head, now was not the time to be pissy as today. Today, I was planning to try to buy myself a cosplay for the comicon next week. 

Getting out of bed  and heading over to my desk, I took a seat and opened up my laptop, waking it up from its sleep mode. I started browsing through websites trying to find what I need.

I wanted to cosplay as sans and was having issues finding it. After some searches later, I finally found one, however, the website I was checking out that had the hoodie on  It was nearly five hundred bones! (pun not intended) 

My reaction to such an idiotic price was that of a kid screaming like his fucking leg was being cut off. 

“Damn, and  undertalecosplay.net was my best bet…” I said in an annoyed tone of voice. Sadly for me, I had to search for the next best thing: Ebay.

Searching around, I eventually found a beautiful hoody that looked identical to classic Sans’s look, the guy that was selling it had the price ranging up to four hundred and ninety five bucks! Dude probably trying to scam people or something.

“God almighty. Welp, time to check ye olde- wait, the FUNK?” I exclaimed in surprise when my touch phone started going crazy with notification pings. Reaching into my pant’s pocket, I pulled out my phone to check what was causing it. What I saw made me do a double take!

I had received over two hundred emails all in fucking WING DINGS. “The hell?” I whispered at the tall list of emails that had me scrolling down the list. Suddenly, the wingdings flickered for a moment, changing its font to be all in english.

“Dear Marcus, it has come to my attention that you have been seeking certain things of interest. More likely I think I might have just the thing for you.” it read. My face began to shift between shock and anger. How the heck did this strange guy find my email? And while were on that note, how did the wingdings suddenly to english?

Getting overly excited but skeptical of the claim, I began typing out my reply. “Ok dude, how the fresh hell did you find my email and also what do you mean ‘certain things of interest?’ explain.” I texted back. The moment I clicked send, I suddenly got a new notification back in lightning speed.

“A friend told me you like undertale. I think his name was dave. That's what I mean. I’ll meet you outside your apartment complex five fix Farnile east to be exact,  I'll meet you there at nine thirty at the nearest parking lot. I hope to see you there.” It read.

I facepalmed. Damnit dave.


So there I was. Going down to the parking lot to meet some guy I don't know because of my friend dave. By all means, he’s a good guy to hang out with but he’s kinda stupid. 

Now, the message was a little veg about the nearest parking lot as there is a good number of them. I had to drive around checking each out, making me regret giving into my excitement when I answered that email.

I managed to find him through when he was standing outside a red van holding a sign with my full name, seeing that sent an eerie feeling crawling down my back.  Open up my door and keeping my guard up until I got closer to him. There inside the van, were undertale related items, not only that, but figurines, cosplays, the works! What really tickled my funny bone was right there being worn by a skeleton manikin wearing San’s hoodie; a perfect replicate too, holy crap. 


“Hello there, child.” he spoke with a calm yet creepy grin.

“Uhh… I'm not a kid. I’m seventeen.” I said while looking  around. I then got the guts to ask him a question despite the ever growing feeling of being watched.

“How much does this cost?” I asked, giving him a stare.

“Questions just questions.” The funk? Questions? What does he mean by that?

“Oookay… well, can I have the sans jacket?” I asked as he gave me a stare of which sent chills down my spine as if my past sins were coming back to haunt me.


“Answer my question correctly and you may get the jacket. Who was Sans talking to at the ruins door?” he asked me as I gave a sigh.

“He was talking to Toriel behind the door. Telling bad puns and genuinely talking to her. One day though, he heard Toriel crying behind the door. She asked him to protect any human that comes through the door. He hated making promises but he promised her anyway.” I explained, providing more than just an answer. This not only earned me a nod, but he also handed me the jacket.  Putting it on, I noticed it was surprisingly snug and it fit my size. “Just who is this guy anyhow?” I mentally asked myself as I placed my hands into the jacket’s pockets as it suddenly got chilly. I looked off to the side as I noticed a crystalized heart necklace that reminded me of the soul of determination. The man gives me a look of seriousness.

“Another question young one, what does it do?” Seriously what is up with this guy? I started to sweat.

“Ok, it is used for saving and reloading. It can also let the user come back from death from which he/she saved at. Determination is naturally possessed by humans. Should a monster acquire a high concentration of determination, its body will melt, usually into an amalgamate.” he gives me a satisfied nod before proceeding to give me the necklace

‘The feeling of the necklace in your hands fills you with DETERMINATION.’ a voice said in my head.

“THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?” I whispered out loud as I heard the voice. I then started to become uneasy. “I need to buy what I can and get out of here.” I mentally thought to myself as I pointed to the Omega!Chara figurine of which he gives me another look.

“What happens when both souls fuse/absorb each other?” He asked me. Dammit I gotta hurry up!

“Both souls lose their unique traits. As with Omega!Chara absorbs frisk’s soul frisk couldnt reset.” I said in which he nods and gives me the figurine. I then point out the overwrite button, now he creeped me out when he got daringly close into my face. I was too scared to move.

“What is the overwrite button? And what does it do?” Off topic but his breath smelled horrible! It smelt like Asgore’s basement. Get it? Because he had coffins in there… whatever you’re no fun.

“OVERWRITE is a very powerful tool, designed from a modification of the power of resetting. It works with a tap of its button; it'll allow any user to change the reality of a timeline, as well as any thoughts, actions, memories, and roles. for example, changing how someone will die, like what happened when it forced Underswap!Papyrus to stab himself and Underswap!Chara. However, it's power is abusive, and too much of it will eventually break down the timeline, or the AU itself if one has a full overwrite soul.” I explained in detail. He gave me the button. BON VOYAGE! I can finally leave! I turned around and walked off… at least I tried as i was being swallowed by a freaking puddle of god knows what! I tried to move, but I sunk further into the black abyss.
