Deltagroup - [Deltarune/Grouptale]

Chapter 1, Part 1 - The Closet

A/N: Hey everyone, welcome to Deltagroup! Whether you're here from Grouptale or brand new, I hope you enjoy the story! Note, if you haven't read Grouptale, you don't have to, no worries! You can if you want, but I should warn you there is quite a bit of cringe in there haha. For returning Grouptale readers, this is more of a 'spiritual sequel' rather than a direct sequel; after all, Deltarune isn't exactly a direct sequel to Undertale. So some of the characters may be incongruous with how they were portrayed in Grouptale. At the moment, I'm only planning to adapt chapters 1 + 2 before waiting until 3 + 4 to come out, which shouldn't be too far away now according to Toby's blog!

One more thing, I originally got this idea from AO3 user Lethargious, who created a story called Guptalore with a somewhat similar premise. Thanks for inspiring me to write this!

GREETINGS.

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE.

ARE YOU WONDERING WHAT IS NEXT? OR ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE?

IF YOU ARE THE FORMER, THEN PAY CLOSE ATTENTION. WHILE THIS IS NOT THE SAME WORLD YOU MAY KNOW, IT STILL HOLDS MUCH POTENTIAL...

YOU ALREADY CREATED YOUR VESSEL. IT WAS ALREADY DISCARDED.

AND YOU ALREADY KNOW... YOU CANNOT CHOOSE WHO YOU ARE IN THIS WORLD.

BUT YOU CAN DECIDE YOUR CHOICES.

ARE YOU READY TO PROCEED?

...

EXCELLENT. HOW VERY... EXCELLENT.

THE TIME HAS COME TO AWAKEN. OPEN YOUR EYES. THIS TIME, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

OPEn yOur eyes...

"KRIS!"

Kris shuffled beneath their blanket. Their mother, Toriel, was waiting at their bedroom door, her arms crossed.

"Kris," she scolded, "if you do not wake up, you will be late for school!"

Kris walked out of bed, standing straight up.

"I will wait for you downstairs," Toriel told them.

Kris stayed in the room for a moment. Their side was barren. It was quiet, with their brother at college.

Kris headed downstairs to the bathroom, where they flushed the toilet nine times in a row.

Toriel rapped on the bathroom door. "Kris, if anything bad happens, you are paying for the plumbing bill."

After their bathroom adventure was finished, Kris joined their mother outside. She gave them a smile; they did not react.

She drove Kris to school, waving to the neighbours. She held Kris' hand as they walked inside the school building, stopping by the lockers. She gave Kris a hug and turned away, leaving them alone with another human.

This other human was on the floor, surrounded by colourful rocks. She was a short, plump girl with pale skin and long, curly blonde hair. She had cyan eyes and wore a dress that most folks in the town would've called 'Church wear'; she had spent some time there, after all. Most iconic was a red bow tying some of her hair back. A scar was on her cheek, when she'd had a fall a few days ago.

This human's name was Faye Ribson. She'd been in the town almost as long as Kris themself. She was a quiet girl who loved nature and had a lot of... interesting pastimes. Strangest of all, she had a boyfriend.
