so the other side of that big wall is pretty messed up

[And Sans posts a link to a video taken from the top of the Gilded Wall. The landscape is a ruin of grey, dry soil and scattered, desiccated trees. There are no animals to be found, not even insects. Something in the distance glitches--round static, with a dark circle inside. As soon as Sans tries to focus the video on it, it vanishes. In that distance is a large, spiky black mass that can't be clearly seen.

Then the horde draws Sans's, and thus the video's, attention. Dozens of humanoid figures are rushing toward the wall. As they get closer and clearer, their appearances seem to be constantly shifting--humanoid, animal, entirely formless, full of static and cracks. In some of them, an eye forms in the darkness.

They seem to be actively avoiding making contact with the wall, but with the way they reach and claw upward, it's clear they are singlemindedly intent on murdering Sans.

There's a flash of something else shifting--brown hair, chin-length. The video cuts off immediately.]

kinda a lot of nasties to sneak around

you might notve seen all of em either

and whatre they protecting anyways

[ribticklers]

hard to tell if they were protecting something or just really wanted to kill me
but if they are guarding something, the big spiky black thing might be it

[protegge]

yeah that makes sense i just figured
i know in zombie movies and stuff theyre just mindless n whatever
but theres magic here yknow
and necromancers
it seems like itd make more sense for it to be a roadblock on purpose

but we dont KNOW that

dont know what the spiky thing is either
has anybody been to it

[ribticklers]

i don't think anyone's been on that side of the wall
there were enough animalians trying to tell me not to even go up to the safe side
and if anyone who just showed up took a field trip i haven't heard about it

[protegge]

did they say why they didnt want you to go up
like
do they know these things are there

or is it like a DONT GO TO OLD MAN GIORDANOS HOUSE ON THE CORNER, ITS BEEN HAUNTED THESE LAST 84 YEARS type thing

[ribticklers]

they definitely knew something was up
getting around them was the hardest part of the whole thing
but i wouldn't be saying that if i fell off that wall so i can't blame 'em

[protegge]

better get em an apology/thanks fruit basket

maybe apology/thanks/told you so cuz you didnt actually die

[ribticklers]

see on the one hand that's probably a good idea
on the other hand holy shit throwing fruit over the wall at those things would be hilarious
so i'm gonna need a lot of fruit

[protegge]

ok so new plan
collect 2 baskets of fruit
good fruit for the locals
rotten fruit for the zombie things
and then splat em
2 birds 1 stone

[ribticklers]

and we're putting rotten fruit to good use
good for the environment

[protegge]

SEEDS

HOLY SHIT YOU CAN START AN ORCHARD OVER THERE

[??? ??]

[ribticklers]

with the way the ground over there looks i'm not sure if that will work
but you never know until you try, right?

[Try... Throwing rotten fruit at zombies.]

[protegge]

i dont know how farming works and im sure not gonna learn man

[Well. At least he's honest.]

maybe zombies are good fertilizer
im gonna say they are

[ribticklers]

no guarantee what those bodies are made of
especially since they can't seem to decide how they look themselves

[protegge]

they should do us a solid and decide to be made of something real good for the soil
like uh




real good dirt

[ribticklers]

[Sans is pretty sure there's someone from home who would know about this kind of thing. Anything more specific than that eludes him.]

the plot thickens

[Like a gardening plot. Because it has more soil on it now.]

[protegge]

[Weird feeling, isn't it. Deja vu all over agreen.]
