[X]...was it by choice?
[X]...You've... always wanted to have a mother. A real mother.
[X]...And if you wanted to still call her Mom?
Your mother sighs. "It was not I who did this to her, little bunny; it was one of my cousins." She frowns. "Think of it as comparing a monkey and a man. They are similar in many ways, but... well, they are aggressive and dangerous animals in comparison." After a moment she sighs again, quietly adding, "But I suppose I, too, can be dangerous."
Well, at least that's not so bad. ...Still, though- "Please, Little Bunny, do not tempt me with such words. ...In truth, I was intending to ask before you went to bed. However, I intended to also tell you what it would entail first. ...And so, I intend to at least read the latter book to you." She smiles just a bit. "No other child that has come through has done so well on my puzzles."
...No matter what happens, you'd still be the closest thing to a mom I have left...
Suddenly you find yourself in a silky vice with plenty of fluffage. "Thank you, Renko. And you'd be the closest thing to a daughter no matter what you choose."

"Would you like for me to continue reading...? I promise to stay on subject this time." You imagine she has a small, hopeful smile. "Well, you aren't wrong." You hear another chuckle soon after.

Hey, Mom! "Yes, little bunny?" I love you thiiiis... Thiiiis... Thiiiis...! ......THIIIIIIIIS much!!
You've sent the fuzzy bear of a woman you call mother into a giggling fit!
Satori wipes a tear from her eye with a highly absorbent knuckle. "Little bunny, you realize your arms are trapped, correct?"
You look to your arms.
Right. You were dumb to expect that to work.
Your noisy thinking interrupts her from opening her mouth to speak!

"I'm sorry, Renko." She sighs. "I didn't intend to squeeze you so hard."
You smile, turning blue in the face in her warm bosom.

Hey, mom! "Ye-?" She lets you fall from her warm embrace, looking horrified. You would pout up at her, save the whole gasping for air thing. "Goodness, Renko, how can you go without thinking about your inability to breathe for a whole— And again you know how long it was for..." She shakes her head in disbelief. "I suppose that odd ability you had with looking to the sky progressed to other avenues." Blushing a bit, she adds, "Although, I hope it goes beyond looking at chests." But they're like little moons...

She can't help but chuckle as she shakes her head. "Silly girl." She pats her lap. Being happy for the affection, you're quick to pounce upon the source of all snuggles. "My, you're as bad as Orin when she was still young..." Orin?
Your mother simply sighs, opening the first book.

Reproduction of monsters is a rather curious subject, from the eyes of a human. Monsters, for the most part at least, have no true genders. However, if a human is asked to pick one, most times they would pick female. This is a large part due to monsters taking a form they choose, to some degree. Women are easier to trust for most humans, and so the form is chosen. Some monsters are different however. The eye family, fae, were creatures and oozes have been shown to have the more and less human appearances, though the eye family is heavily debated, as reports on the same individual are varied at best, which may well be due to subconscious use of their powers. However, that is something we will cover in the proper volume.
+1 HP
Monster 'genitalia' or the like are typically non-existent. However, being made of magic, their form can be altered to some degree to accommodate the needs of a more physical mate, though the process has been reported as excruciating at best. However, after many failed attempts, all subjects did eventually succeed in creating both mammalian genital archetypes to... varying degrees of inhuman. The sight was far worse for the male genitals, as many species ended up with genitals more beast than man.
You shudder at the thought.
+1 HP
For monsters attempting to breed with other monsters, it is both easier and harder than humans mating with humans. Accidents are far rarer, and forced insemination, if an inaccurate term in this case, is unheard of. For monsters to produce a child, there are requirements. If these are not met to some degree, it will become exponentially harder. Love, while rather corny sounding, is, by far, the most important part. However, it goes deeper than the love of humans. It is an unbreakable bond that will withstand untold ages together without issue. Whether this is due to differences in the way monsters think, they are quick to love and quite affectionate.
+1 HP
Of course, like all things, there are exceptions. Eyes are one of the least monster-like monsters, as are oozes. Weres, however, are human-like part of the time, but are otherwise healthy monsters.
The second requirement is to be held close to one another. Like humans and other creatures of more solid substances, monsters must get quite exposed to reproduce. The large difference, however, is that the souls are to touch and entwine. Typically, both monsters will become pregnant with a child, but, again, there are exceptions. Unlike humans, the ratio of what might pass as DNA is hardly 50/50. Each mother has the majority of DNA in their own offspring, making sisters have wider disparities between them in appearances.
+1 HP
Of course, this is not the only way. There are ways that humans have uses in such things as well, though most monsters don't particularly like such things. One simply must pluck the soul of a human without killing them, and the soul residue will begin to form the soul of a monster. Human souls are potent, and any monster that consumes just one will have tremendous power. It is said that, with enough, one will become stronger than the gods themselves.
Many species have further specialized methods, but these are the more commonly possible ways. In the next volume, on oozes, we will cover how a man-eating monster goes about reproduces with humans exclusively.
You fidget a bit, a tad disquieted by this revelation. Eating souls? Plucking souls? Soul sex?
"Mind you, satori use none of these methods."
...You aren't sure if that's a good or bad sign, what with the supposed pain of it.

Yummy cheesecake! Just edits, not some sort of newly drawn picture or fresh update, but I did promise you guys something to celebrate!
Between my keyboard's infuriating deteriorating health and my need to pick up the pace on a certain side project, I'll be taking what will hopefully only be a week-long break, but may need to last as long as two.
If I get sick of writing that, I'll take a break to write this, but, as it stands, see you in a week.
[x] It is quite romantic
-[x] And sexy. Sexy, sexy anatomical incorrectness
-[x] Except for the whole rape thing
Satori looks to you a bit oddly. "...Romantic...? In what regard?" ...Did you confuse a mind reader enough that she can't quite grasp your reasoning without an explanation? "Well, you didn't not." She chuckles a bit. "After all, the mind is a winding maze of secrets. It's simple enough to get answers, if one knows how, but for those answers to make sense is another story."
You tap your lip. "Well, it's a little poetic, I guess?" You earn yourself an odd look. "Well, all sorts of things say the true monster is man, so, in this case, making man into a monster is... romantic." Although, you question if human monsters are anatomically incorrect.
"No, no they are not. 'Human monsters'... can be one of the easiest way for a male monster to be possible." Well, at least, even if you were to accept, that wouldn't be an issue. "Quite. You hardly are male." You smil- "Though perhaps a bit androgynous, like your mother."
You give her your best pout.
Satori chuckles a bit. "It's not necessarily a bad thing, little bunny. I think it suits you in a way." ...You think you'll assume that to be a compliment.
Although, the rape thing is kind of... "No, no; it's unheard of as in it simply doesn't happen. Not as in it happens constantly and thus is a non-issue. Monsters are... different, after all. Humans are built around rape for reproduction. Monsters are built around love." You kind of want to dispute that, but... Wait, you aren't going to say some kind of cheesy thing abou- "There are no storks here." Good. You're tired of mixed signals on how babies are made. "Still, it's time that I hit the nail on the head, so to speak."
Satori pulls you back into her lap, flipping you around so that you're snugging into her lap as opposed to straddling her scandalously. "Such an odd little rabbit..." She chuckles at your thoughts, before getting to the sole bookmark in the story.
Whereas monsters are mostly composed of love to reproduce, eyes are... complicated. Evil eyes are terrible creatures, befitting the descriptor. The term "evil" is, quite honestly, a perfect way to describe the majority of them. They reproduce somewhat like an infection more than any sort of relationship.
Evil eyes have a hidden tail, much like the artery of a satori, and it is quite flexible. Unlike a satori, it has bones and no small amount of muscle, meaning it can easily work as a barb to reel in prey just as well as mate with a human. It isn't terribly different from the traumatic insemination of some physical animals, in the end. They stab the human, and leave behind their barb. This barb always must be stabbed into the heart, and generally kills the target.
However, that is not the terrible part.
In truth, that which is dead will not lie for long, as the host is not truly dead. No, they are simply paralyzed, and, without specialized tools, do appear as dead as can be. Their body temperature, however, is the one easily discernable clue that they are anything but dead. Over the course of the next week, which is the full term of the "pregnancy", give or take, the host will slowly wither away. It is not until delivery, however, that the host truly dies.
You notice that Satori looks uncomfortable.
At the end of that period, the fully formed eye, which was once the host's heart, will eat its way out and bash its way through what remains of the ribs.
...Well, then. "A satori's method is... similar, but not forced. ...Eyes are the only ones that have a human-like method of reproduction." One of her red tubes pulls free of her wrist, before she removes the heart clasp wowthatlookssharphowaboutyoustopflashingmewithyourjunkmom and she puts it away. "Little bunny, if you see someone showing you such a thing, doubly so an evil eye, it would be best if you don't act friendly towards them."
Satori, however, have a kinder method, even if it is quite similar. The barb still penetrates the sternum, but it doesn't hit the heart. It isn't long enough for that. There is no terrible poison, though there is a numbing agent to lessen pain. The end is much the same, though the host doesn't die, and instead becomes a proper satori over time. A healthy satori will have five arteries coming from their heart, attaching to no particular place on the body, save for the head. The head is the only truly important connection to not remove, as it is the optic nerve. Should it be cut, one's ability to read minds will come to an end, and untold damage will be done to the mind.
The largest difference, however, is methods. Evil eyes are forceful in their methods, and satori are more... well, we ask. We explain all that will be heaped upon the shoulders of a potential child, and then accept their choice, no matter what it may be.
You feel Satori's eyes boring down on you. You think she's curious what you think of this revelation.

Your face is bright red as you shield your face. "M-mom, don't flash me like that. It's my job to flirt!"
Satori looks amused. "Renko, is there not some irony in your current opinion?"
"Maybe, but jeez!"
"Need I remind you that you also don't have any of the ingrained feeling of embarrassment taught over a lifetime?"
"S-still!"
"And that it's not truly what one might call genitals so much as the head of a floppy spear?"
"Well..."
"And that I can read minds?"
You huff. "Just trying to lighten the mood..."
"I believe you did that admirably." She chuckles with amusement. It's nice to see her so cheerful compared to when you got here. This gives her pause. "...I suppose I 'have' cheered up a bit, haven't I?"
You stare at the eye that rests over her breast. It stares back. You stare harder. It doesn't flinch, though has an odd... curiosity to it. As if it's probing. As if it's looking deep within you.
You match its gaze, trying to look deep within the glistening thing. The closer you look, the more detail you see. The more you see, the more you begin to realize something.
She's looking at you with her heart. You're looking at her beating heart, quite possibly, which ripped itself free of her chest.

She who fights with monsters should be careful lest she become a monster all the same. And if one were to gaze long into an abyss, the abyss may also gaze into thee thrice as deeply.
...Great, your eyes are now throwing out mangled quotes to suit the situation.
Satori giggles a bit. It's a pleasant sound; enough so to make you smile. "It suits me well enough, I suppose."
"Hey there, sexy. I see you and eye together."
Another bout of laughter comes forth. "You're terrible, Renko. Just as bad as her." She has a smile. "...Thank you, Renko." You raise a brow. What did you do? "Well, you've been you." ...You think you're missing something here. "No, not terribly. ...You've just made this old ball of fluff very happy."
And if I said I might be considering your offer? "Well... ...I would have to take a stance of neutrality, due to your... peculiar motivations." But mom, it's so sharp and pointy! "Now, now. You can decide to do this at any time while you are here." ...You're not gonna let me stay if I wanted to?
Satori flinches, before sighing. "I know well it to be unwise. It was how I died the very first time. Selfishly trying to protect your grandmother, and making her prove that she can fight her way past me." She sighs."...She did, after a short battle. That girl... ...that time, she didn't mean it to happen." She smiles just a bit. "She reset just for me." That smile withers and dies. "Not that it matters, with how much it turned out I truly meant to her..."
You hug her. "I won't do that, mom."
She chuckles a bit.
You smile up at her.
"I know, little bunny. I know." She sighs. "But I also know that, thanks to your grandmother, you do not truly tug your own strings, to borrow a metaphor from the long dead." Picking you back up, she begins to walk. You wonder where you're going. "I think you are in need of a bath, before I begin what I intend." What you intend? "Your grandmother killing me, as well as the deaths of so many children, have taught me that the best option isn't to bar, but to prepare. To that end, I intend to train you in magic, for physical training will be a pointless venture, even if you don't remain human."

You know, now that you think about it, why is she carrying you again? You feel pretty dang good.
Satori blushes. "Well... ...I suppose it does prevent you from biting doors and launching face-first at the floor."
Okay, she has you there.
"Plus, it's becoming a habit, at this rate. You're quite comfortable to carry." ...You'll take that as a compliment.

You don't have a change of anything but socks, after all. Your feet have a tendency to get swampy.

You try to comment on how deep the water is, only to end up nearly inhaling some water.

You stroke your chin, thinking about how it's deeper than you thought.
You'll go with magic.
Still, that leaves a far more important question. Do monsters need air? Do they fly like you?! Can they reach the ceiling, jump off it and ping off the ground like a pinball?!
You notice Satori is giving you a dry look from over the crystal clear waters. Blushing a little, you swim to the surface. You're not a bad swimmer. You managed to escape that croc that one time, but Mari didn't seem too impressed, saying it was just a shoe.
But you know better. Crocs are the most evil sort of shoe. If ____ wore a shoe, that'd be the one. I have standards.
...Wait, that was an odd thought.
When you reach the surface, you gasp for air as Satori sighs. "You're worse than Okuu." Who? "...A pet of mine. She left home long, long ago." She looks slightly melancholy. "...She was a good girl. And, from what I hear, she still is." She looks a bit sad about something. Well, sadder than the subject at hand. "Well... I suppose my other remaining pet does worry me." Before you can think of anything concrete, she interrupts, "But I do not wish to talk about Orin."
Sighing, she picks up a glass bottle and uncorks the top. You smell roses, if only a little. ...If that's the case, you have to wonder just how strong a smell it puts out at a closer range... "Nothing too terrible. It does have a potent smell, but... Well, it doesn't linger." She then proceeds to pour a drop in her pawlm, getting the other hand wet, and begins working it to a surprising level of latherrific.
Seriously, you can see how that little bottle is enough for her.
Nodding, she says, as she begins working it into your hair, "Yes, a full bottle is typically enough to last me a good while, if I don't go overboard." You nod a bit, closing an eye as the shamwow runs down it. Mom seems to find amusement in your terminology.
"Now, take a deeeep breath, little bunny~" Wait, whaBLEBLURLURLBUBLUR. "There we go. All clean."
...
"Uhh... Mom, you know I need to clean more than just my hair, right?"
Satori blinks once, before scratching a cheek. "Ahh, yes. My mistake. I, erm..." She averts her third eye. "I do only every five to ten years meet a human."

"Err... Now, uhh... I don't want to hurt you...? So, uhh... just come clean...?"
Satori's third eye is blinking rapidly, as if in a daze. ...You might have to remember this trick.
"Don't want to hurt her?! We'll obviously do anything it takes to get this information!"
"R-Renko...? What on Earth are yo-"
"I'll be the one asking questions here!" She seems oddly off balance!
...You imagine Satori cartwheeling around in the nude.
She doesn't seem to react in the least. Not a twitch, or a shudder, or even a frown or chide!
Huh, seems she can't read minds if you flash her blind. I wish I had eyes to gouge out. Big baby.
"My partner's... a beast. Just give her what she wants and everything will be okay. If you don't, uhh... ...I guess she'll... tickle you or something...?" ...This feels extremely backwards. That means it's working! ...How...?
"Renko, really now..."
"Where were you on July 4th?!" How does that have anything to do with anything? Sͤ̎͏̫̹̤̪̹͚h͎͎̗̹̞̝̙̑͂̿ͦh̶̲͚̻̠̿̃̀̈̍͆ͅh̩͓͎͈̠̥̦̆̍̚͢ĥͪͦͮ̽̄̇h͉͎̙͓͇͡.͓͎͓̥͊̈ͭͮ͋̾ͫ ...Fine.
"Erm... Ahh, that's..." She sighs. "I'm not familiar with that calendar, little bunny."
"Who killed her?!"
"E-ehh? Renko, who are you...?"
"I'm Renko!"
"That's not..."
"Search your feelings: you know it to be true!"
Silence hangs for a moment.
And then your mother bursts into a fit of giggles.

"Really, now, Little bunny..." She wipes a tear from her eye. "Did you really force her to be the good cop?" Ahh, it seems she's recovered. "I quite have." And is amused. "Also true." And has cheered up. "Well, that isn't... untrue." She pauses. "And it wasn't over that, it's just... well..." She blushes a bit. "I don't actually have any proper soap. Just shampoo." ...Wait, you were right?
You know, kid... I've realized something. ...Yeah? You're not like your mother, or her mother. Really? Yeah. You're different. ...Thank-
You're insane.

[x] Aww, geez, you're making me blush!
[x] You're not so bad yourself, hot stuff.
You can't help the blush creeping onto your cheeks as you hold them with a small smile. "Y-you really think so?"
...Yeah. Yeah, this is definitely the truth. If you're not, then I'll eat my hat.
"Well... you're not so bad yourself, hot stuff..."
Oddly enough, you don't get an answer from her.
You begin to hear giggles that echo in the spacious room. Giggles heard b̛o͏t̵h̸ consciously an̢d̶ ͞un̨cońs͡c͏i͟o̷uśly, from one source a̕nd̶ tw̸o̧. T̛͞h̸͢͡e̛͞ ̢l̨a͟t̵̨̛t̛̕͡ȩ̡̛r̕ ͡iś́͟ ̷̸͠q̷̕͜u͏̷i̧͟t́͘e ̕͞a ̀l̨̀͡o͟t͟ ́͡l͢e̵͜͠ś̢s̨͝ ̵r͘͢e͝҉̨st̀͏r̕҉a͠į͞n̷̵e͠d̵,͞ ̸҉od͏d̸̢͞ĺ͠ỳ͘ ȩ͢nơ҉͞ư̕͘gh.̢͡

[x] A/S/L.... No?
-[x]... Fine
[X] My Psychopathic Possession Can't Possibly be This Cute!
[x] Ask on a date.
[X]Wash body with...
-[X]...Water?
[x] Can I, uh, shampoo your back?
What. What? Seriously, why do you even care? Why wouldn't I? I killed your mother! Well, yeah, but she got better? I also killed your new mother! Again, she seems A-okay. And your grandmother...? Honestly, with what she apparently has done... ...I don't remember. Happy? How can you not remember your sex and location?? What?? That's not... Ugh, just forget it.
Satori seems amused, off to the side.
By the way, did you know that you're adorable when you're angry? What?? That's not... Why would you even...? You get the cutest crease on your forehead! ... What? Idiot. What...? That's your forehead. So? It's practically yours too, right? Why are you so freaking blase about this?!
When you come to your next decision, Satori seems somewhat trouble, if amused all the same.
So, wanna go on a date some time? ...God dammit, you're worse than Frisk... ...So, what was Mom like? You. In more than one word? Nicer you. ...Wait, she was? Yeah. They irritated me to no end, but, in the end, I still won.
You frown, before sighing. Why do you like hurting people? Heh... Ask ol' granny that, if you care so much. I'm not answering it.
...Maybe you will.
With that, you begin swishing about your hips in a shimmie. The corners of Satori's mouth quirk up a bit. "Renko, perhaps using your hands as well might be wise?" ...But Mooooom! "No buts, young lady. If you don't, I'll do it for you." ...If you do, can I shampoo your back? "Only if you stop imagining me in such a disturbing way." See, you knew it'd bug her. "You do get points for trying." She smiles a bit, which you return with a grin.
You watch your new mother begin carefully undressing. Huh. Her belly is fluffy, too! "R-renko, you really don't have to think about such things..." Well, it's just that you were wondering if anywhere wasn't fluffy. It's kind of cuter this way.
And your mother sighs, stepping into the water. The depth makes a bit more sense at her size. If it were shallow enough for you, it wouldn't really work for her, would it? "Well, I suppose it would be difficult."
Wait, she didn't-!
"Renko, with as much fur as I have, it is beyond pointless." ...Yeah, but... "The only reason I did it for you to even such a degree is because I knew your mind was troubled over western bathing methods."
You smile at the sentiment. "Thanks, Mom."
You slowly discover that Satori's hands are softer than you think! It certainly doesn't support the whole scary monster thing. Satori smiles at this. "Thank you, Renko. Many 'monsters' are as nice as any human, just as many humans are as as bad as any monster could ever be." Her smile dims. "Or worse."
Soon enough, you mother's work is done, and you are...
...Well...
"Mom, why did you use shampoo on my body...?"
"In part due to habit. You see, my sister and our pets tended towards more... 'fluffy' forms."
Ahh, that makes sense, then.
Your leg hair has never felt so luscious and full bodied!
Satori chuckles a bit. "Quite."
...But how will you tackle Mom's back hai- fur?

[X] Just Enough
- [X] Sud Top Hat counts as enough.
You are exact in your measurements.
One dab.
You begin to work it in.
It's not enough. Why isn't it enough? What turned your head into a presumably red sudsy wasteland has only made her back a little soapy.
"It's more a light pink."
One dab. Again.
As you work it in, you frown. Yet again not enough. You do, however, note how downright solid her back feels. She's built like a fluffy tank! Your mom is the best.
Satori peeks at you oddly with her third eye. "I don't see how those relate." She does seem to be smiling, going by the eye.
Yet another single dab.
Working it in, you grow impatient with the bottle. You look over her back, and try to figure it out.
Satori's Back 0D/0MD/0A/MA
A knife between the vertebrae is all it takes.
Also, six dabs of shampoo.
+1DT
Completely ignoring the assassination advice, much to the chagrin of your favorite possession, you add another three dabs of shampoo, working them to a niiiice lather. Her pinkish white fur becomes fluffier and, of course, sudsier. Also, true to her word, it's not a bit blue. However, it doesn't become overly so. There was no waste in your actions. They are precise, measured latherings.
You might even call it a surgical shampooing.
Satori chuckles a bit. "Little bunny, really, now... That sounds more like you are about to shave me and perform an operation..." She does smile a bit, however, so you feel assured that it's all in jest."
While she is rolling her eyes, you scoop up some suds and make a top hat. Looking up, you stand and crown her a gentleman!
Giggling, she comments, "Royalty, and women, do not work that way, I'm afraid."
Well, they should...
You begin stacking another top hat on her third eye, smiling as you do. It stares up at you like a cat in a sweater and mittens.
Ignoring that comment, she continues, "Thank you for the help, little bunny. I'm a tad inflexible, so I typically have trouble with my back." You smile a bit. "Now, let me finish up. You may want to get out, however. You're looking a tad red. I'll find you when I'm done, okay? Then I'll help you fix your spellcard."

The suds are pink, guys. This is absolutely vital to the plot, now and into the fight with the final boss, so remember: pink.
Blue would mess with my vision for you in the Matrix arc, where you wake up from this crazy false reality.
Jokes for the sake of bumping aside, my apologies for the error. I was originally going to go with blue suds, and didn't edit it out in both spots after consideration of the gravity of that color.
On the note of bumping, I'm giving it till tonight to write, as I posted late.
[x] Okey dokey
-[x] Call grandma and ask her!
--[x] What do you mean "Ask her what"? We just talked about this! About our lovely stowaway's murderous hobbies!
[X]To the not so endless hallway!
Satori smiles at the ease of your answer. "Have fun looking for ghosts, Renko." She begins pouring a considerable amount of what the six dabs had turned her back into messy perfection. She also proceeds to roll her eyes at your term.
You climb out of the bath, standing on the suspiciously mom-like mat, and towel off withwhoaisthatabsorbant! ...You sliiiide it up your arm, noting how it practically suctions to your skin.
Well, then.
You slide it all over the place, slowly getting more comfortable with moving it faster. As your body grows more and more used to the suction, you throw caution to the wind and- "Oww!"
Okay, note to self: don't throw caution to the wind with towels.
"I recommend in general, little bunny." She eyes the towel, where your leg hair resides. Or, well, what little there is.
You can't help that you're a late bloomer, dang it!
You whisper to your body for the upteenth time to grow faster, and give it a pat on the back of encouragement.
+1DT
With that done, you towel off your haiowwyourhairoww.
Okay, so you should have seen that coming.
Gently drying your hair, you quickly make sure that there was no loss. Satisfied that your hair isn't what you see on the towel, you decide that it's still just leg hair. With that done, you towel off your waterlogged hat, before slapping it on your head with a wet plop. There, all- "Little bunny, you only put on your hat." Pausing, she amends, "Or, I suppose took off your hat and put it back on."
Looking down, you realize that she is indeed correct!
Quickly you begin to dre- "Ahh, ahh, ahh. There are clothes I have pulled out for you in the closet." But Moooom! That's on the other side of the room! "Now, now. It's only a short walk." Fiiiine...
Making the long, arduous walk to the other end of the room, you turn the knob. This place sure is Western. "Yes, well, that was something I did to occupy my time. It is rather..." She is silent a little while. "Well, I honestly have a very short to-do list."
Looking in the closet, you find clothes... oddly like yours?
"They were your grandmother's."
Well, that's an odd thought. They're, uhh... Surprisingly normal, all things considered.
"Well, she is the more normal of you three."
You try to take that as a compliment, but you eventually give up!
-1DT
"Ohh, hush; I prefer your craziness to her... ways... any day of the week." It's good that you stopped pretending to like her. You were giving mixed signals. "...In the end, I am not sure quite how to feel towards her. Still, you can judge for yourself."
You nod, equipping the plaid purple thing.
"I'll wash your outfit before I come for you, alright?"
You nod with a smile. Mom's the best.
As you head out, you look down at yourself.
Sumireko's Default Lv5 0D/50MD/0A/50MA
Smells like mothballs and sins.
Not the good kind.
You gulp. Well, that's concerning.
Seriously, since when did your eyes even have a sense of smell? You swear, if they even think about rocketing out of your skull and trying to get you pregnant...
...No. Enough stalling.
You pull out your phone, frowning at the cracks from its fall. Ignoring that, you dial home, holding your breath a bit. It's a pretty tense wait, if short. It's as if she was expecting you, as she picked up on the second ring.
"Renko."
"Grandma."
There's a silence between the two of you. You feel like you get her a little more than ever before, now, and that she knows this.
Eventually, like all calms before a storm, it ends.
"I guess you learned, didn't you?"
You're quiet a moment, before sighing. "Yeah. A lot of stuff, too. Still..."
Another pause-
You bump your nose on a door.
-1HP
Your grandmother seems lucid right now. Good. You weren't going to accept otherwise.
Opening the door, you ask, "So, what's this stuff about ____?"
You hear a sigh on the other side. "I need a drink for this. Gimme a sec, kid." You hear a pop. Well, that was fast. "So, anything specific?"
"Well... She told me you'd know why she's so violent."
You hear her take a swig as the liquid splashes around in the bottle. Her voice is a bit strained a second. You half want to ask what she's even drinking. "Well... Because I made her that way." Well, that's a horrifying thought. "You know, 'Monkey see, monkey do'? Well... I guess ____ took after my example when she, well..." Another swig. "She took my soul."
...Well, then.
"And she kept controlling me when I tried to make things right. Everything was fine, but then..." She sighs. "She killed them all."
[x] Ask if there's someone home, ghosts specifically.
-[x] Check the pillar for, uh, secret buttons!

You start getting close to the button. The pillar is in your way, sadly.
It's almost as if it's alive...
You press your body against its chilly surface. It seems to be... glowy, yet solid. Which is odd, as you're growing increasingly sure it's a ghost.
You decide the best way to go about reaching the button is to snuggle closer than close! To snuggle comfier than comfy! You're not fluffy like mom, but you make do!
You swing your absolutely massive chest at it!
1 damage!
100% HP remains!
The pillar seems to feel an odd sense of camaraderie with you. You guess.

She must be Merlin. "Nice, uhh... chest?" Smooth.
You hear a surprisingly clear, if confused, voice. "Thhhank you...?" Can't be Lunasa. ...Did Merlin even talk? "I... like your hhhat...?"

You snuggle closer to the oddly not bone chillingly cold pillar. "Thanks!" You know, spending so much time with a mind reader has taught you how wonderful it is to be heard. "I'm, umm... jealous of yours? It's... very... ...pointy. Yes." I almost feel bad for you.
But then I remember I don't.

She snickers just a little, her form returning to- Crap, it was the red one!
You gaze intensely at her, much to her confusion.

I hope I didn't break some sort of social moor I knew nothing of by digging up something that died so long ago.
Still, I felt that it was honestly the only reasonable place to put it. None of the other boards made sense.
I drew the top post with the built-in stuff. I'm hoping that never reaches a thread two, as I have no idea how to start a thread without drawing with their souped up MS paint. I had to download firefox to use it, too! For what it's worth, that was my best art ever. Just... drawing those words. It may be full of errors, but, well... I actually drew a pretty accurate representation of the logo for what it's worth!
As it bears repeating here as well, I'll point out that the Prismrivers have been improperly designed since the start.
[X]`Let's be friends now and compare chests.
[X] "I've met your sisters. I like them. Can I like you too?"
[X] "What does that button do? The last time I saw it, I was with Hourai and... "
The sunken pits called eyes widen a bit, the light within brightening a bit. Her... lips part. Are those lips? Well, you made out with Lunasa. They must be, right? ...Then again, they were really sticky and gooey.
It was the kind of gross you could get used to.
The ghostly girl blinks out of her stupor. "...Are you... sssserious?"
"Well, yeah."
Her stare bores into your sou- that sounds somehow insensitive, now that you think about it.
She thrusts out her massive cliff face. "Like thhhhissss...?" Her voice sounds a bit off. Where as before it felt hallow and clear, it now sounds almost... timid as well?
You do the same with your ginormous cutting board.
Two chests enter, two chest, uhh... Well, okay, two chests better leave.
You both stare at each others' chests like fine works of art.
You judge. You weigh. ...Mentally. You even imagine what they would look like if they weren't mostly ribs.
"Your sisters are nice."
"Nassssa tried to ssssuck out your ssssoul."
"Yeah, that sucked." You rub your arms. "She's a good kisser."
"Shhhhe issss."
...Wait. "Do you...?"
She blinks.
She blinks twice, now.
Her eyes widen in shock, followed suit by horror. "No!!"
You wince. "Jeez, it's just a question."
"A quesssstion thhhhat issss exxxxtremely awkward..."
Well, she has a point there. "Sorry."
She puts down the monolithic things, and sighs.
With the way she talks, the sigh is a bit long, unexpectedly. "It'ssss fine."
"Also, can I press your button?"
The pale face of the ghost flushes red with blood you're vaguely sure she doesn't have.
The sight of a chest not larger than yours fills you with Determination!

You gently, teasingly flick the button from side to side, on the lookout for any traps you totally wouldn't have triggered.
Satisfied with your safety foreplay, you now get down to the main event. Of safety. You slide you fingers gently, sensually, around the button.
"You like that, don't you, you dirty little button..."
You feel the button is enjoying herself.
Satisfied at its trapless, silent enjoyment, you soon are on your knees, hands resting on either side of it for support as you begin to treat it to things only sweets get to experience.
You swirl and flick the switch with your tongue, before taking it into your mouth. After you push all quarter inch of it as deep as you can, you begin to bob your head just as you were taught, going up and down at a steady pace. As you pull it out of your mouth, you apply heavy, noisy suction.
You look down at yourself.
Nope, you aren't dead. No poison.
You're sure the button is begging for more, and begging you to marry it on the spot. Sadly, you have other intentions as you begin to hammer away at the button for all its worth.
Further down the hall you hear stone grinding against stone, before slamming down, alternating with every smack of thumb on button, flesh slapping stone at a set pace, neither increasing nor decreasing in your frenzied slamming.
Down the 'endless' hall.
...You have to go through that hall again, don't you.
Dang it!

[X]Descend the stairs
[X]Prepare your chest for possible attacks, but try not to kill anything. Just block and move.
- [X] remember basics of chest discipline
You cup the underside of your totally huge chest, making sure to keep your finger on the side of the... trigger guard.
You aren't quite sure where that is, but you decide to just not pull the trigger.
Wherever that is.
You begin to descend into the inky darkness, confused why you can't see.
It's like the darkness is darker than dark. Blacker than black, and just... eating the light?
Before you enter into the darkness completely, you fellsweetmonkeyjesusisthatcoldholycrap. Looking back, you find Lunasa and Lyica grabbing your shoulders.
They fade away as soon as you see the concerned look they are giving you.
[x] Look around carefully. Let eyes adjust. See what little that might be visible.
-[x] Don't move. Be prepared to leave ASAP.
And so we cast the die and face down our fate.
...Of standing in front of whatever that fate may be.

[x] Look around carefully. Let eyes adjust. See what little that might be visible.
-[x] Don't move. Be prepared to leave ASAP.
You step to the edge of that shade impassable. You know well how you can see in the dark, so you have to wonder what it means when the inky blackness before you is darker still.
You see no twitch or movement. No flash of a shine from fanged teeth, nor of cold steel. You see not what might be beyond, awaiting your arrival in that dark descent.
You merely gaze into the abyss.
Nothing nibbles at the tattered trapping of sanity, nor set traps meant to ensnare.
Nothing happens at all. You know not why you are suddenly getting extremely poetic, and saying the same thing ten different ways. One more than nine. Two more than eight.
You feel you don't want to keep counting down.
Still, nothing beyond, or of the beyond, approaches.
However, you hear the oddest, quietest sound.
Not unlike the piping of a wind instrument, or that of a bird's song.
In fact, the repetitious nature is a lot like a bird song.
A bird of metal, but still.
It's as if the highest possible notes are being repeated. It's so wrong it's right. It's so right it's wrong.
Will you ever stop repeating things different ways?
You feel like you've taken a step into a story of a different tone.
Where apparently the fourth wall is nonexistent.
But do you dare take another? Or another step yet?
Do you dare investigate this odd piping? This song of sharp whistled pipings unending?
The fine hairs on your neck stand on end at the very thought.

You swallow your dread and descend into the dark, though you float, not trudge or step. A scent of alien chemicals and acids assail your nostrils, making your eyes water with an acrid sting. Alone, the acids and chemicals would be bearable, but that scent of rot and decay... you nearly cover the floor in your ex.
-1DT
As you descend, you make a sharp left, as if seeing without seeing.
As you fly, you whistle your best, trying to imitate the odd piping.
The piping stops.
Why did the piping stop?
Your whistled, musical mockery of the piping plays back at you as if it were its own.
It's no echo, but an imitation of an imitation. It has your imperfections, as well as an odd sound not unlike the corruption from playing telephone.
You imitate the imitation of your imitation. "Tekeli-li!"
Tekeli-i
It's nearer now.
"Teleli-i!"
Tekei-i
"Teke-ah!"
Tekeah-li
"Teketi-wi" You mix it up a bit as you call out.
Tewi
...Well, that was different.
Tekebu-ni
"Bunny?"
Bu-ni
The odd piping is growing near at an oddly rapid rate, and so too does the lingering scent grow stronger with it.
Before you, two red lights appear in the impassable darkness, not unlike eyes.
...And then a smile? A glowing smile.
"Smiles don't glow, you know."
The smile vanishes.
A glowing outline of a smile appears where it once was, almost like...
Well, you have to accept that. Glowing lipstick is a thing.
A dumb thing, sure, but still.

You take a deep breath to calm yourseohhgodthestench and let it out slowly.
This cutie clearly must have body image issues, with how thickly she put on her lipstick and... eyes.
"You, uh... I like your eyes!"
Tekeye-ye
"Do you have more?"
Tekeme-be
Maybe, huh? Hmm... "Can I see them?"
You stare on as eyes begin to appear like stars in the void of space, and you notice some die out just like those cosmic events.
Eye after eye after eye after eye after eye after eye after eye twists and splits from nowhere, smoldering with that same red that stands out from the absolute darkness.
You fail to fail a sanity check. It's not that you aren't making them so much as your dice just keep flying out the window and ricocheting into the gutter.
Figuratively.
You glance over the eyes. Huh. Two dozen with a spare.
"Any more?"
And then there were more.
You decide it best to stop asking for seconds, and swiftly change the subject from her 47 shiny, shiny eyes. They're very pretty at this range.
You think you'll guess her language till it sticks. "Tekefe-i tekesu Tekeha-ru Teketi-nu teken-gu"
The face begins twisting.
It's now upside down.
...Is she confused...?
Tekeli-li
"T-tekeli-li?"
Tekeli-li
"Tekeli-li!"
Tekeli-li
"Tekeli-li...?"
Tekeli-li
What a meaningful conversation!
"Chin chin~!"

"Tekeli-li!"
"Chin chin~!"
Okay, it seems that you've attracted that bird from before. Maybe they're friends...? That's a good sign, right?
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
"Hey, uh..."
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
"Do you guys... understand each other?"
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
They seem to just be chirping at each other, now.

Okay, they obviously can communicate with each other... Does that mean birds and, uh... whatever they are are related?
Rumiaa, huh? And you're just gonna ignore the bird's name, as Rumiaa at least has been somewhat communicative. If they can communicate, then learning Rumiaa's language should be enough.
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
What are the odds they're just wolf whistling at each other like a pair of birds? How would a bird and a pile of eyeballs even go at it...?
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
You decide to stop considering such things.
Wait... with how many eyes she has, could she be... err...
What was it again...?
Scooby?
Shaggy?
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
Shoggoth! Silly me. It was so obvious! Just like the bedtime stories Grandma used to tell you when you were young.
Well, younger.
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
...Wait, why isn't she eating you?
Tekechin-chin
"Chin chin~!"
You think you'll just count extremely large, undulating, goopy blessings.
And then an idea pops into your head. You take out your phone, and write each thing she said in both hiragana and katakana.
...No, that's not it. She's been talking in garbled, whistled English, as you thought. Weird. Your English sucks, but single words aren't so bad. Still...
You can't help but squee a bit of the cuteness of it all. Those adorable sounds that shouldn't be, mixed with a chorus of proper chirps that sound suspiciously like- Wait.
"Hey, umm... Mmmmiss bird, can you come here?"
"Chin chin~?"
she lands on your hat, and you offer a finger. Rumiaa's eyes loom over you two, looking just as curious and just as hungry as before. You whip out your phone, and find out the back lighting actually works to some degree. Oddly, it is only illuminating itself, and not the bird in front of it.
You resist the urge to turn on the high beams for now.
You bring up a list of languages on the translate function. "Do you know what any of these? Poke it with a knuckle of your foot if so.
She pokes German...?
Serious, German?
"Wait, then who wrote the sign?"
She begins typing a bit into it. She's not hunting and pecking, oddly.
You don't even know some of the characters...
You translate it to Japanese when she finishes and—
Well, then.
It's jibberish.
...You feel you should have expected that.
"Hey, Rumia, do you... know Japanese...?" If she's like that, touching your phone is out of the question.
"Know Japanese~!" Her voice is... weirdly like yours, if you just sucked down a whole balloon of helium.
You just stare at the wall of mouths and eyes and eye mouths and faces that twist in and out and is that a ribbon?
You feel really stupid now, somehow.
"Are you imitating me?"
"You are~!"
"It's 'I am,' not 'You are'."
"I am~!"
"Chin chin~!"

"Hey, Rumia, what are you doing down here?"

You smirk just a bit, winking. "...Are you two... single?"
You hear a chirp that seems a bit choked from the darkness.
You think that was a yes.
Tekeye-ye
"Well, I see you and eye and eye and eye and eye and eye..." This continues longer than it should. "...and eye and I together~"
The many eyed creature levels all those eyes on you at once. Oddly, there seems to be a consensus among them that there wasn't before.
She looks shocked.
Tekeli-li-li-li-li-li-li
...Did she just laugh, or...?
You'll just assume that was a laugh.
You'll assume that the two were just sharing a laugh this whole time.
...Repeatedly.
Without having any reason to laugh.
Still, that just leaves the birdie. You look towards your finger, trying to figure out where she is. "You and I should make sweet music together~"
The darkness where the bird should be sounds extremely confused by that one, what with the very un-sparrow-y squawk.
And an un-sparrow-y weight.
Aaaaand she drops from your fingers, followed by the beating of un-sparrow-y wings.
"Whatiswrongwithyouwhyareyoucomingontobirdsyouweirdowhydidyouhavetocomeupwithsuchagoodpickupline-" She continues to ramble on and on and on. You're not entirely sure who you're being rambled at, but if it's the bird...
"Wanna go on a double date?"
And then the rambling stops.
The blob of eyes tilts its... ...body.
You'll guess body.

"If I had to say, it'd probably be the best burger place I've ever been to. And I'm a girl that likes her burgers."

How did she even say that in your voice...? "Then maybe Rumia should be the judge!"
"But Rumia can't—"
"Yummy yummy!"
"Rumia, let me talk~!" Mystia lets out another sigh, sounding a bit stressed by all the rapid-fire conversation. As I was saying, Rumia can't leave~!"
You frown a bit at that. "Why not?"
"The ribbon in her hair~" Wait, she has hair? "Since it was put there, she's been stuck down here~ Only a human can remove it~..." After a moment, she adds with just a touch of unsureness, "Probably~"

The bird lets out a curious tweet. "What~? Well, I don't really know~"
You sigh, asking, "Nothing at all?"
"That is so~" Your voice giggles a bit, having that tinny whistle to it. If you weren't you, it'd be pretty creepy.
Well, that was a bust. "Hey, uhh... I'm gonna step out for a bit. I need to make a call."
Mystia sighs, while Rumia pipes out a giggle.
Taking that as a confirmation, you float off. You're still rather pleased about the whole flying thing, which puts a bit of a smile on your face. You float towards the right direction, likely avoiding all sorts of horrible things in the dark by sheer dumb luck.
You're quick to dial Grandma's number, but then realize that you used the wrong phone, getting a pre-recorded message from Flowey, oddly enough.
"The number you're trying to dial isn't in service, or is a surface number."
Hanging up, you switch to the brick that she gave you, and punch in the keys. It's so weird that it's not a touchpad, nor is it backlit, but your eyes make up for that.
Well, okay, by working as a light.
The very idea of punching buttons with your eyes makes you shudder a bit.
Once more Grandma picks up on the first ring. "Well, if it isn't Timmy, come crawling back after all these years!"
"Didn't we talk today?" Or was it yesterday.
"Aha! So you are Timmy!"
"No. I'm Renko." You sigh, annoyed that she's like this again. She's not even old enough to be like this. "Look, I just wanted to ask something."
"What is it?"
...Huh. That was pretty lucid. "Well, I met a shoggoth."
"Ohh, Rumia!"
"What did you do."
There's a pause. "What do you mean? Is something wrong with her? Never was able to..." She trails off.
"Kill her? People talk like you killed everyone."
You can practically hear the wince. "She's not someone you want to fight. She, well... She ate me." Well, that's— "Twice." That sounds pretty ba— "And also swallowed me whole once, and kinda fused with me till I managed to reset."
"Yeesh..."
"She's nice enough, just, uhh... Renko, turn your phone to vibrate, or else she might get startled. She doesn't deal with sudden noises or bright lights too well." You hear a sigh from the other end. "And, if you make her angry, running isn't an option. Feeding her helps."
Wait, she didn't mention the ribbon. "Grandma, what about the ribbon?"
"Ehh? Ribbon?"
You frown as you fiddle with your phone's volume, holding the brick on your shoulder. If it's not her that did it... "That weird glowing red ribbon? Keeps her from leaving the downstairs of the ruins? Ring any bells?"
"The Underdark?"
"That's a really dumb name, Grandma."
"Ehh, it's from a game from back in the day. Patchouli more or less unofficially named it that."
Well, that's another name you haven't heard of before. "So, you don't know about any ribbon? Didn't, say, laugh while twirling your mustache as you slapped it in her gloop?"
She grumbles a bit at that teasing. "Well, I do love my eeeevil mustache." Her voice is practically dripping with sarcasm. Sighing, she adds, "But no, I don't. Far as I know, she's more a pest than anything. For her to be sealed away like that, and with a charm from what it sounds like..." She trails off.
"...Grandma?"
"Sorry, sorry, thinking..." She sighs. "Just pull it off. You'll probably lose your hand, so take a towel."
...
"I'm sorry?"
"She bites." Well, that's lovely. "Just remember, if you survive the day, you'll get it back at the stroke of midnight. Don't ask. Never did get just what the cause was." You hear a familiar voice on the other end. "Gotta go. It's your friend's mom. Need to take out my hearing aid and see what's wrong this time."
She hung up.
...Dang it.
You grumble as you put away the brick, before a clawed hand clamps down on your shoulder from behind, causing you to stiffen.

[X]Take off the seal
"Little bunny..." You hear a sigh of a familiar fluffball from behind you.
Looking, you find your mother, just as you expected. "Hey, uh... Hey, Mom."
Those eyes that level on you are ones of concern, worry, fear...
And pride.
She sighs. "I... won't stop you from trying, little bunny. Just..." Sighing, she closes her eyes. "If you survive this, I suppose... you won't so much be in need of the training I had in store for you." She smiles a bit and pulls you into a deathtrap of a hug. "I love you, Renko."
You squeeze her back, feeling smooshed. "Ah wuv yuh tooh mahm..."
You earn a chuckle from your mother.
Your mother's pride in you fills you with so much Determination that I'm just going to assume you save!
HP maxed out!
DT maxed out!
Tears maxed out!
Your mother wipes away those tears. "It's okay, Renko." She kisses your forehead. "Go make your mother proud."
You nod, drying your eyes on your sleeve.
It smells of mothballs.
It reminds you of Grandma.
Satori presses something into your hand. "This might help. I know you're better with such magics than you are with ice."
You look to your hand, finding a folding fan. Huh.
"It's a focus for wind magics. If it comes to fighting, well... This will give you far greater options. Save making spellcards with it till later. For now, go." Smiling, she pushes you along to the dark staircase.
You look back over your shoulder as you go.
She's wiping her own eye. "Remember, don't land; the ground is covered in her."
You nod, putting away your fan as you head back down the stairs, touching not a single surface of the dark cavern.

[X]Mysterious Big Fan.
You crack your knuckles, grinning up at Rumia. Well... to the right; the closest eye isn't up.
You also try to ignore how weird this is, feeding someone yourself.
You put away the frozen stick, before clutching the fan in your teeth. This is gonna suck. Still, you've never been on a date before. If it gets you a date, what's a little human sacrifice?
'Sides, Grandma said it'd grow back! When has she ever lied?
Save that time with the stork. Or that thing about bees stinging birds. ...Or that time she dressed up as Santa but accidentally got a Satan outfit and rolled with it...
You know what? You'll just ignore that for now.
Date first, growing trust issues later.

All the while, Rumia happily chews.
The darkness begins to fade, and soon you are faced with an abomination whose very appearance could drive a man to madness, and whose very sounds strike fear into scholars familiar with the works of a certain mad arab.
But you're more busy screaming and crying and trying not to stop flying.
Below you, a sea of luminous tar. Before you, the tar is coalescing like it's drinking that sea dry.
The form is smaller, and now floating towards you.
It has no eyes nor mouth, no arms nor legs. It's but a blob of luminescent tar, smaller than you. Every drop of tar below is gone, and left in its place is impossibly smooth stone, as if it was smoothed not by wear of winds and time, but by digestion. As if a sea of acid was left there.
And it goes quite far down.
That shining darkness floats over to you while you're gasping raggedly.
Its twin eyes look you over, and then it begins to form arms.
See included picture.
Which then pull you closer, hugging you.
"W-who... n-n-needs..." You take a deep breath as you squeeze your eyes shut, tears running down your cheeks. "Arms..." You whimper pitifully as blood continues to pour from your ruined arm.
Worth it...

Rumia stares at you oddly after you say as such. Well, you think; she probably doesn't technically have facial features.
You stare back a bit awkwardly, expecting at least some sort of response. Maybe letting you go, or going on a date, or eating you, or going on a date, or, you know, some form of pain.
Instead she's just giving you a sticky, goopy, drippy hug while that odd bird girl you've never met kinda stares. She seems to be eyeing your stump for whatever reason.
"H-hello...?"
"Hello!" It's your voice again.
She seems to be... ruffling your hair? You would be comforted if not for her sticky nature causing your hair to stick to her.
So, really she's more trying to pull out your hair.
You have a feeling you're not going to smell like roses after this. Just a hunch.
"Can you... stop playing with my stump...?"
"But it's tasty~"
"Well, at least you have good taste."

Rumiaa stares at you.
You stare back.
She twiddles your stump some more.
Bleeding stopped!
You blush a bit.
She twists her face.
You fidget under her weighty, blank stare.
From behind you, a single word gets her attention. "Food, Rumia."
Her eyes light up at that chirpy utterance; they're downright glowing.
Chirping out another placating song of a word, she points out, "Dress to impress; we have a date to go on." You feel a pair of big, rough hands that end in talons as long as your finger grip you by the shoulders. You shudder with fear.
Looking over your shoulder, you let out a breath you were holding. She squints as you blow in her face, before giving you a look.
Bird lady or not, talons meant for butchering or not, you're relieved to see a feminine face.
"Do that again, and I'm shortening your stump." You blush, earning you a quick tilt of the head as she recoils a bit. "W-why are you blushing??"
You poke your index fingers together. "Well, since I came here, I've learned that pain is kind of nice, and, well... everyone likes hurting me."
She gives you a horrified look, and you can't quite place the why. "What is wrong with you humans?? It's like every single one that ends up here has a few dozen screws loose." Sighing, she adds, "And we're not having a date at my stand."
"But why noooot...?" You give her your best pout.
"Because you're missing an arm."
"So?"
She stares at you darkly. "Because I'll want to cook yo—"
You feel sticky gloop wrap around your quarter of an arm that remains, and by the time you look to it, it's already done. Huh. You have an arm again.

"So, how about that date?" Your new arm undulates happily.
The bird-headed woman stares at you blankly. "You were just screaming for five minutes straight." She doesn't seem quite so sing-song anymore.
"Pleeeease?" You give her your best pout, earning a sigh. All the while your Rumiaa bit is dropping sadly.
Mystia gives Rumiaa a dirty look. "Did you have to give her that arm...? That's cheating!" Or, at least as dirty a look as a bird can. Animals making human expressions are weirder than you expected.
Rumiaa droops drippily, her eyes blowing up to a massive size. Seriously, they're like sad beachballs. "But... but food..."
Mystia sighs with a tweet. "Fiiine~"
You beam, your arm whapping about like a snake with a sugar rush. "Awesome! Let me just invite mom!"
"Wait, what??"

Your phone begins to vibrate, and your new and quite possibly improved arm whips into your skirt, getting your to let out a yelp. Rumia giggles as she watches you accidentally molest yourself.
Soon enough, you have conquered your inventory and pull out your phone while you're left a bit redder and gaspier than the norm. ...How the heck are you going to use your touch screen, though? Your new arm must be sli—
Your nose has been booped. You rub it, finding it clean.
Okay, so it's more shiny than wet or slimy. Like smooth rubber, or hot tar.
Especially hot tar. Full of eyeballs and teeth.
Good to kno—
Your phone starts vibrating again. This time you answer right away, finding your arm to be acting more or less on its own. ...How it knows your phone's password you'll likely not find out any time soon.
"Renko, I am not dating my niece."
"But mooom!"
"Nor will I date you; we have been over this."
You pout. You never get to hook your mother up with your cousin and self. Mind you, it's partially due to only having a mother a couple days, but still! You also silently squee after realizing you have a new cousin! ...Who you want to date, but still.
"However..." You perk up with renewed hope. "I am not... against the either two. ...As odd as it sounds to date."
"...Mom, have you never dated before...?"
You hear her let out a sigh. "No. ...I haven't." She chuckles a bit. "Besides, you, erm... Rumia is now a blood relative of yours, in a way." Your eyes widen. "She now has your DNA, and you, well... I suppose you have one of her on your missing arm."
You look to Rumia, realizing she looks just a bit more dashing than before.
And has a real face.

Your arm and sister go rigid as you squeal with joy and hug her, rubbing cheek to slimy... cheek. You'll go with a gorgeous cheek.
You get tugged away by a certain bird before you lose your face to a chomp, but you can't stop squirming with joy regardless of that. Mystia lets out a tweet of a sigh. "Don't make sudden loud noises near her~"
You blush. "Erm... Oops?"
Well, at least you didn't lose your face.
You hear a sigh from behind you. "Little bunny, she did warn you of that for a reason."
You feel a familiar pawlm ruffling your hair, equally familiar claws scratching you juuuuuustrightohhyessthatrightthereisgoodyesyesyeees... You look up at the motherly smile as she stops, leaving your scalp sadly out of stock in the scritchies and ruffles department. Your thoughts do at least earn a chuckle and a pat on the head.
"Now, I do believe you have someone to call, hmm?"
Ohh! Right! Your limp tendril pokes the phone while Rumiaa gives your mom giant watery puppy eyes. As you poke the screen and await her answer, you look back to them and find Rumiaa to be getting a pat on the head, and looking quite happy
She even made a glowy heart float to her surface! It's a cute shade of green! Weird. You didn't know she could do other colors.
"Renko?"

"...Renko, why are you not a jibbering mess?"
You raise a brow. "Ehh? Why would I be?"

Silence greets you.
"Flowe—?"
"What did she do to you."
For someone who aimed a tank at you, seriously or not, she sure seems a mad about this... It's just getting your arm sheared off by shark-like teeth bigger and sharper than your thumb while trying to help someone in part largely due to wanting to kiss, and hug and hold hands!
You hold your cheeks and smile at the very thought. One of said extremities more whaps you in the face than anything, but still.

- [X] The MOMENT that damn flower pokes 'er head up, Find, activate and give 'em MAXIMUM SASS.
- - [X] Mention how it would be highly improbable for you to be able to communicate so clearly through telecommunication if you were dead.
If that don't work now, we'll FIND a moment for it to work! Everybody has an iota of sass hidden somewhere in them, and if any time is the time to use it, right before the impossible boss fight in an attempt to stop it before it's in full swing is the time!
You know what? This takes balls. Renko doesn't have any equipped. So can she go MAXIMUM SASS without it?
Let's find out.
[x] Sass vote.

[X] Maximum sass!

You watch as the ground below begins to crack and splinter like wood before a wreckingball.
The ground erupts a bit as something large tries, and fails, to rise from below.
As you consider what might be under the 'Underdark,' you notice the ground buckle upwards once more, a bit higher this time.
As you see the ground before you erupt for real this time, you find something before you that isn't Flowey. It's not even slightly thorny or floral! Wait, wait, you see two, maybe three thorns. You decide that the great beast of flesh and metal before you isn't quite what you had hoped to see.

You hear the crackle of radio static, Flowey's voice clear as day and loud as all get out. "Rumia... What did you do to Renk—"
You float up to her, glaring daggers. Mom also floats up, arms crossed, not looking terribly pleased.
"Flowey, if I'm dead, you just burst through hell and unleased all manner of horrible monsters upon the world!"
"But I don't think you're currently—"
"You caused the apocolypse, Flowey! High-five! Good job! You did it!"
"Renko, what are you even—"
"Just let her get it out of her system." Your mother is using a stern look on your sorta-kinda not-cousin.
"And seriously, bat wings?! Those are so tacky!"
"W-what?? I didn't design it with that in mi—"
"And that eye looks dumb!"
"I-it's not an e—"
"I didn't freaking die, you nincompoop!"
"Who even says that any—"
"Flowey." Your mother's voice has a stern tone to match her look. "You know as well as I do that I would know if she reset, correct?"
"Well, I mean..." She trails off.
"And didn't I say not to use Sigma again?"
"B-b-but auntie, I—"
She takes out a rolled up newspaper.
There is a look of abject horror on the twisted machine's face. You're sure that look is far worse on Flowey's face.
Which ispretty dang impressive, actually.

We've gotta' be specific for Renko.
This pacifist Route is still Pacifistic, so long as it's Motherly Punishment we AREN'T inflicting, even if we could non-violently stop it right?
