[Today there's a blue fish lady onscreen. She ROARS and slams a conjured lance through the nearest table, splitting it in half. Poor hospitality deck, it never asked for this. She grabs the spear and looks at the console with a discerning yellow eye. The other eye is covered by an eyepatch and a bit of red hair.]

No one captures me. Not unless they have a DEATH WISH!

[She brandishes her spear with a twirl and shoves it solidly into the floor. Her grin shows jagged sharky teeth, and it nearly splits her face in half. Is she making you uneasy? Good.]

It's been a while since I had a real fight. Come out of hiding, cowards! I'll show you why I was made captain of the Royal Guard!

[A captain in... a muscle tank and skinny jeans, sure. Whatever.]

Comments

[experiencepoints]

No, we're originally native to my planet. It's weird, and thinking about it too hard gives me a headache.

[what the fuck, though]

I guess... my world must have a very different definition of monster.

[fishwife]

Okay, yeah, that's weird.

[INDEED.]

Humans are kind of pink, sometimes, and they have round ears and eyes like you. They sure don't have these! [She points at her ear-fins.] Or these. [She grins wide and shows off her big ol' shark teeth.] Or THESE. [She points at her scales, clearly visible on her skin.]

At least, not the ones I've seen.

[experiencepoints]

[Completely deadpan:] Really, I'd never noticed that humans didn't have those.

Where I'm from, there are people who aren't humans- elves, merfolk, and the beast tribes. But those still aren't monsters. Monsters are things that are formed with no purpose but trying to kill people. I guess it's different where you're from.

[fishwife]

Huh... As far as I know, humans just decide everything that isn't a human is a monster. Or at least, they did before. Like I said, I'm not some kind of human expert.

[She rubs at her chin.]

Different worlds, different... whatever, I guess.

[experiencepoints]

Yeah. It's kind of interesting.

I'm Nightingale, by the way.

[fishwife]

All this different worlds crap gives me a headache.

[She smiles a bit.] Nice to meet you! My name's Undyne.

Isn't a nightingale some kind of bird?

[experiencepoints]

It only gets more confusing from here.

It's nice to meet you, too.

It is. It's kind of a long story, but everyone on my team is named for birds.

[fishwife]

[Her interest piques somewhat.]

Your team?

[experiencepoints]

Yeah. Like I said, long story.
