[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.]

[Undyne is somewhat confused by the reaction. Monster isn't a bad word.]

Uh, no, it... it just means you aren't a human. You know, the pink fleshy guys who look weak yet are somehow good at everything?

You're like me. You're even blue!!

[notkittenaround]

Ah, yes, you speak of the hyur.

[ Her tail thrashes. ]

Of my home, 'monster' falls well within 'beast' and 'animal' as an insult to my kind. But if you mean naught of it, for it is your home's name for those who are blue, we need not duel for my honour.

My name is Marhi Ohsi, or Metallic Gold Magpie. Choose which pleases best, for they are both equal in my eye.

[fishwife]

I'd never call someone who could obviously walk and talk an animal. There's lots of different kinds of monsters, too. Some look a little like animals, some are-- well, skeletons, or fireballs wearing suits-- but it just means people who aren't human. It's not an insult. It's my PEOPLE. [A pause, and then she grins.] But if you wanted to duel, I wouldn't say no. I don't want to get rusty!

Undyne. Nice to meet'cha. Is Magpie a title?

[notkittenaround]

It was a name given to me when I had none, by those whom I love as family. Now it is that I use both.

[ She runs her hand through her hair, settling down the bristling puff. ]

I would duel you, though first we need meet, and I will give you time to become accustomed to this strange fleet. More than that, I fear your weapon is likely stolen, as my own was.

[ A beat, before academic curiosity wins out over further introductions. ]

... How does a fireball wear a suit?
