Three things.

The first. I'm requesting if you know anyone of our group that was transferred during this mission at any point, whether it was already announced or not, to list them here. If you knew anything about them, particularly unique to them—information, capabilities, whatever—I'd ask you disclose the information, as well. [ he may be able to get the first part, at least, by looking it up but it helps to have confirmation from files that are not documents provided by ALASTAIR. ]

The second. I'd like to know of any of you that are of leadership status back where you come from, particularly if you are responsible for the lives of others. Militarily, politically, socially, whatever. [ not the time to be picky. ]

Lastly, what's the value of a life to you? Both your own and others around you and how far does that value extend? They say there's a time to kill and a time not to kill: what're yours? [ it'd be nice to know who the self-sacrificers are versus the kill-happy. and then everyone else in between. ]

...Allow me to introduce myself, if you don't know me: I'm Date Masamune, a daimyo from the north.

[ yes, he's got a different tone to this from the last time he addressed the network, but the serious nature seems necessary, if not because of the content but because of what they're all sitting in the middle of while they wait to leave chantes. might as well be somewhat productive. ]

Well, where I'm from killing's kind of a last resort.

[Even if sometimes he's, uh, more inclined towards it than most monsters.]

But if it's someone putting everyone else in danger...you don't have a choice.

[wardance]

[ details who needs those. he's rather okay with the overall answer, to be honest. ]

What is done where you're from prior to killing, usually? [ he's from a war era, he can't assume it's all nice until they have to go shank someone as there are arguably worse fates than death... ]

[humerous]

Listen...it's not really comparable, so you're better off not asking.

It was a small community, everyone knew each other, so there weren't a lot of problems like that.

[Because the honest to god answer is working out the problem through talking.

Monsters are half disney.]

[wardance]

[ . . .

yeah that's def not comparable he probably shouldn't find out about that. still... ]

I see. Suppose that would make sense if there's no form of government in place?

[humerous]

Well, in recent years the King's been in charge but...the title doesn't mean much. The guy doesn't use his authority; too much of a pushover to do it, either.

We have a royal guard, too, but they sit around most of the time with nothing to do.

[wardance]

...1 guard and 1 king. That's it?

[humerous]

Well, the guard's more like a few people. Some lesser dogs, greater dog, doggo, Dogamy and Dogaressa...and then the captain, Undyne.

I don't know the rest very well.

[Literally guard dogs, Masa.

And, uh, a guard fish.]

[wardance]

...Are they all related or something except the captain? [ GUARD FISH?? FISH IS CAPTAIN OF DOGS?? ]

[humerous]

Asking if they're all related just because they're all dogs?

Oh boy. I'm not touching that.

[It's like.

Weird teasing. He isn't serious.]

[wardance]

[ oh my god. ]

They're all... actually real... dogs... [ o. ohhh. yeah no big... ] .... What's the captain? [ he's afraid to know
no why did he ask
no he has to know ]

[humerous]

She's a fish.

1/2

[wardance]

[ ?!!??!!!!!!!!!?>&&777544.$$$$################### ]

[wardance]

The dogs take orders from a fish?

[ wowowowowowowowowowowow that's like taking orders from your lunch box???? ]

[humerous]

And then the King is a goat.

[Well, like a...bunny. goat...?

Idk.

There's your chain of command, Masa.]

[wardance]

[ he chokes a little there.

UHM.




































Y I K E S . ]

[humerous]

What's wrong?

It sounds like that last one really goat to you.

[wardance]

[ omg that pun. he can't— wow. ]

...Why the goat, though. What did he do that makes him worthy for the role of king? Or are all your kings goats...???

[humerous]

I feel like if I tried to explain it, you wouldn't get it.

[They're literally defined by the fact they're RPG bosses. Or "boss monsters"...criteria that might seem nonsensical to a human.]

But he's been King for over a thousand years...I don't know if anyone was in charge before him.

[wardance]

That's a really old goat. How old are you?

[aspearation]

They take orders from their captain! Because they respect me!

[ Or because they want treats... ]

[wardance]

[ HOLY SHIT THE FISH GENERAL IS HERE???

WHAT NOW. IT EVEN TALKS. HIS LIFE?? ]

...Ah.

[aspearation]

Yeah! Don't listen to Sans, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's the only one who sits around doing nothing!

[wardance]

[ well now that he's over his initial shock, this is kind of cool. he can roll with it. probably. ]

Really? So, what is Sans?

[ he's assuming that's the guy he was talking to but now he's wondering what animal he is?? a fox maybe?? ]

[aspearation]

He's a sentry.

[ She completely misinterprets the question. ]

Not that you'd ever be able to tell! Most monsters don't cause any trouble, so not a lot happens in the Underground, unless a human comes along. Which doesn't happen a lot, either, I guess.

[ So... they do in fact do a whole lot of nothing. ]

[wardance]

[ while misinterpreted, still actually very surprising (and interesting information to him). ]

Are you all technically some type of guard or soldier where you come from?

[ ah, but this an interesting thing to hear. monsters do not cause trouble, however... ]

The humans cause problems for you? Hunters?
