[suddenly, a post appears.

And several minutes later, it's appended. And then again. And again. Until it looks a little like this:

soooo this is kinda awkward, but when i woke up this morning my feet weren't working? like i can't move my toes??? Has anyone else had anything like this happen before?

edit: OH MY GOD??? right after i posted that my toes just like. STUCK TOGETHER. i think there's something really wrong with my feet!!

edit x2 ALL OF MY TOES JUST FUSED INTO ONE BIG TOE

LIKE A HOOF???? OR SOMETHING

WHY DO I HAVE HOOVES?????

edit x3 i dont know how to walk with these things help

[and thus, Alphys accidentally liveblogs herself discovering that she is, in fact, a faun.]

woah ok
do you need a cane or something to help you get by until you figure this out?

[textsfromhotland]

ohhh that would be really nice actually

although i think i would prefer to have my feet back D:

[marmoron]

sorry. wish i could help you with that
there are monster support groups out there for folks who're having a hard time with transformations but i haven't been to one of those myself
where are you? i can bring a cane over

[textsfromhotland]

see that's the funny thing i was totally fine until now because uh

well because i thought i was turning into something else

[marmoron]

[ Oh no this just keeps getting sadder ... ]

what did you think you were turning into?

[textsfromhotland]

well

a cat

[You can almost hear the disappointment.]

[marmoron]

[ ... ]

that's
i don't even know what to say to that
but at least you're not dying?

[synchroswim]

man i was gonna say i had that problem for a hot minute but
then you started saying stuff about hooves aaaaaand i dunno how to help with that except uhh
i dunno i guess try walking like you got normal feet? just on your tiptoes?

_{[HE... doesn't know anyone who actually has hooves, but it's the best he can come up with.]}

[textsfromhotland]

[but how do i walk on my tiptoes when my foot is basically one big toe now?

[synchroswim]

hey same concept right?? uhhh you got a table or anything to lean against? that might be a good start right?

[textsfromhotland]

umm yeah i guess i can give that a shot

but what if i run out of furniture to lean against??

[synchroswim]

uhhh

you could scoot a chair around maybe
or use a broom like a walking stick!

Darling. I know you know this, but... Turnskin don't have hooves.

You shouldn't have hooves.

[textsfromhotland]

I KNOWWWWWW!! but theyre right there and i'm looking at them right now. my feet are totally HOOVES now

what things have hooves? chimeras? you think i might be a chimera?

[the natives have been calling her that practically since she showed up, after all.]

[metalcrusher]

[If only he knew that she'd been being called a Chimera all this time... It would be hard to argue it, given her appearance. This is all a bit concerning, though.]

Chimera... That's a grab bag of parts! Antlers. Talons. Rabbit ears. Hooves. Who knows! You could be.

But, darling. Are you sure you're not a Turnskin? After all you asserted that you were, you know. "Like, nya?"

[when u bring up shit ur friend said on a full moon]

[textsfromhotland]

i SWEAR i thought i was! the soft fur was a dead giveaway!!! or i thought it was anyway

oh man i dont want ANTLERS too!

[famous last words]

[metalcrusher]

And I didn't want rabbit legs. We don't always get what we want, Alphys!

Could you be a Faun? You were acting strangely on the full moon. That is to say, you were... outside. In the cold of winter. I was wondering if you'd been possessed! Hahaha...

[textsfromhotland]

a faun? i just said i didn't want antlers!! besides everybody gets weird on full moons here!

[glitzandglamour]

I don't make the rules, darling! It's one of your two options, considering. I'm only pointing it out. The hooves drastically reduce your potential fate. What will it be??? A randomized mishmash of parts? Or antlers, and being drawn to the outdoors...? The latter is almost unbelievable. Ha-ha.

By the way... do you need help? You should know. When it comes to learning how to ambulate upon new and exciting limbs, such as legs... I'm the best there is.

[textsfromhotland]

out.... side...???

[computer nerd does not want to go outside. computer nerd wants to sit in front of a screen all day. Never mind the fact that she's been subconsciously getting more and more attracted to the outdoors for months now.]

i guess being ONE thing is better than being a mishmash. uggggghhh

would you

mind giving me some pointers

[glitzandglamour]

[Mettaton will toast to the day that Alphys wants to go outside, and he gets to see it. It will be a day of celebration, a "we're so proud of you" banner hung to mock in his derisive humor. But, also, it would be nice to see her try new things if she found enjoyment in it. There's so much sun, Alphys!]

Love your legs. If you love them, you'll want to walk in them.

[mettaton... who does that work for]

[unsundered]

You're a monster, aren't you? Surely changes like these hardly come as a surprise.

[Why is he even responding to something so inane....]

[textsfromhotland]

well yeah! the thing is... i thought i was a different TYPE of monster until now!

[unsundered]

What a careless mistake to make, then. Doesn't everyone know what they are almost immediately?

[textsfromhotland]

IDK!! i grew a lot of fur and then... nothing! i thought i was done!

[unsundered]

And so it seems you were not. How tragic. Do you know of any other monsters here who merely end up with 'a lot of fur' and nothing more?

[timenace]

You must be pretty new here?

[textsfromhotland]

aaaaaactually i've been here for a while eh heh

i just didn't think i was gonna grow HOOVES

[timenace]

But wouldn't the type of monster you are usually have hooves?

[textsfromhotland]

i've only really had fur for like a really long time! I didn't think anything else was gonna happen!

[timenace]

Oh! That would make sense then. A sudden extra change does seem pretty startling.

[guesser]

congrats on being r-18

[textsfromhotland]

wHAT

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT

GROSS

IM NOT

[guesser]

shhhh embrace the wild. aren't you a faun now??

[textsfromhotland]

a FAUN????

i thought i was a cat turnskin!!!

this is the worst day EVER

[guesser]

now, now....... fauns are great!!!! what made you think kitty?

[textsfromhotland]

i mean

no offense but cats are way cuter than deer

i guess i just thought having fur meant turnskin. OTL

[guesser]

oh ho!!! there's more than one monster with fur!! what if
you're a chimera like me (・口・) !!!!

Hoof, that sounds rough.

Sorry just trying to put a bit of humor.

I had trouble walking when my feet turned into wolf ones so I understand what it is like to change physiology suddenly. We don't know each other, but I'd be happy to come over and help you.

[spaghettimonster]

OH MY GOD, ARE YOU ALRIGHT? IS ANYTHING ELSE TURNING INTO HOOVES?

AND. HAVE YOU EATEN OR DRUNK ANYTHING STRANGE LATELY?

[He remembers some of the pranks and shenanigans from that market. And that time with the mystery fog... Who knows, it might not be that she's a faun. Maybe. Tiny slim chance.]

[silverhands]

I wouldn't know myself, but I know a lot of people with hooves back home and they really love them. They're always telling the rest of us how unlucky we are to have regular feet. So you'll probably like them once you've broken them in.
