SO YOU'RE IN A NEW WORLD, LOOKING AT A WATCH,
WONDERING WHAT TO DO WITH YOURSELF...
WELL!
THE FIRST THING YOU CAN DO, IS READ THIS WELCOME MESSAGE:

HELLO!!!
I HEARD THERE'S MORE PEOPLE POPPING OUT OF MIRRORS TODAY,
AND MAYBE THAT MEANS YOU.
IF IT DOES, WELCOME TO AEFENGLOM!
A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

YOU MIGHT HEAR SOME DOOM AND GLOOM FROM PEOPLE, ABOUT THE CWYLD, AND THE FULL MOONS...
BUT, ONLY SOME OF IT IS TRUE.
AND THOSE PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THINGS LIKE THE COLOR OF THE SKY, SO WHAT DO THEY KNOW ANYWAY.
THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE PRETTY MUCH CONSTANTLY WORKING HARD TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE AND HAPPY.
SO, DO YOUR BEST NOT TO WORRY TOO MUCH, AND LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE!
IF YOU'RE A WITCH, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO ALL KINDS OF MAGIC.
AND IF YOU'RE A MONSTER, THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THE MOONS WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU!
AND I GUESS SOME MONSTERS HAVE A KIND OF MAGIC TOO? BUT IT'S NOT -MAGIC- MAGIC.
WHATEVER!!
THE IMPORTANT THING IS, YOU NOW FEEL WELCOMED.
YOU'RE WELCOME!

[If anyone doesn't want to wade through the capslock, let me know and I can drop it when tagging you.]

Bad lucky, huh?

[Chris isn't really superstitious, but he's having to adjust to a brand new world so anything might have meaning here where it didn't before. He's trying not to judge the place too much, but it's all pretty confusing.]

How do you know the Coven people are even telling us the truth? Maybe they're actually the ones that brought us here.

[He's a little wary of anything sounding like an organization these days.]

[Papyrus could relate to the confusion. The magic here is so different, and something as basic as 'monster' has something other than he's used to. Maybe there's real fortune-telling magic, too.]

OH, I DON'T KNOW.
THEY SEEMED SURPRISED TO SEE US...
THEY'RE LOSING HOURS TO CHECKING THINGS OUT INSTEAD OF DOING THEIR OWN THING...
AND WE'RE AN INCONVENIENCE TO HOUSE.
THEY HAD TO EMPTY A WHOLE PART OF THE CITY!
BUT, A FRIEND TOLD ME THAT THEY MIGHT WANT US FOR OUR MAGIC, OR OUR BODIES...
GUESS WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL WE KNOW!

[As much as it seems silly to admit this on the networked devices the Coven gave them, he'll do so a few times through this post. Admitting his distrust is a kind of trust, right?]

Well, I dunno how useful all of us are.

[At least him. He certainly doesn't have magic experience to covet.]

If it is an accident then it's going to keep happening to more people, right? Eventually we'll all run out of room.

I guess you don't know any other magical ways back?

WELL, I KNOW -OF- A MAGICAL WAY BACK.
JUST DO WHATEVER MY BROTHER DID WHEN HE DISAPPEARED.
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO REPLICATE!

[He would have done it himself, if he did. But then Alphys would've been here alone, so maybe it's just as well that he didn't...]

IF YOU'RE A WITCH, YOU CAN DO MAGIC, AND THAT CAN BE SUPER USEFUL.
PLUS I GUESS WITCH BLOOD CAN BE USED IN SOME TERRIBLE POTIONS?
IF YOU TURN OUT TO BE A MONSTER...
I'M NOT SURE HOW WE CAN BE MISUSED EITHER.

MAYBE WE'RE WHY THEY'RE EMPTYING THAT ONE CAVE SO HARD...
IT COULD BE A REALLY COZY LIVING SPACE IF IT WAS CLEANER AND SAFE!

That sounds more like an accident, doesn't it?

[Chris has gone from being wary of this skeleton to kind of worrying about him.]

I guess the caves wouldn't be that bad, but it'd feel kind of like living in a big closet. How would we get enough light in there?
