Canon is LISA: The Painful RPG & The Joyful

[afaceisnothing]

Th-Thank you for taking the t-...time to draw s-some of these icons for me. It's v-very kind of you.


And-...And I'm sorry the e-ending of the game I'm from made you c-cry. I wish it could have ended h-h-happier. For everyone.

I've really wanted to play LISA

[your_best_friend]

Hmm... It can be very difficult to get a golden ending at times. Sure ya didn't miss any dialogue? Hidden areas? Dating sequences?

DO IT. Just be prepared for a very dark story.

[afaceisnothing]

I th-think it's only made worse by the m-more content you uncover. Since th-that only lets you kn-...know that much more sadness. How b-badly off everyone is.

Are y-you a talking f-f...flower?

I don't have the money

[your_best_friend]

Then you just have to reach one ending. Do everything correctly! If you tear everyone from their happy ending just to see everything life has to offer, then you're just going to be a twisted monster that no one will like.

Yep! I'm Flowey. Flowey the flower.

STEAL SOME

[afaceisnothing]

O-Oh. I don't-...I don't particularly want to be a m-monster. Though I'm not sure there's a-a correct choice for any of my actions. I-It's not about my choices, after all. It never was.

...Flowey, d-did I take some Joy and not realize it? I-I don't know what it's like to be on Joy, but I would th-think talking flowers might happen b-because of it.

[your_best_friend]

Well, you don't have to be a freak. But being a monster isn't all that bad! You'll still have a soul and you get magic!

...

I'm complicated, but I can assure you that I'm not the result of Joy. Only Determination. But you make it sound like some drug! Golly, if I were you, I'd quit! Don't you know that you'll get addicted? Your brain will rot? Your body will decay? I never knew you'd be into that sort of stuff! You're so messed up.

[afaceisnothing]

I'm n-not-...Wait...

J-Joy is a drug, but I've never taken it. I swear.

[your_best_friend]

Whoopsie! Guess I was mistaken. Us monsters don't really have drugs.

[afaceisnothing]

You're a m-monster? You seem like a n-nice flower.

[Well, not really, but Dusty is trying to be friendly.]

Why would you c-call yourself th-...that?

[your_best_friend]

You're kind of stupid. It's a species. You know, like a human or ghost.

...Although, I'm not technically a monster. More like a flower given the will to live through determination.

[afaceisnothing]

...Oh. I-...

[He goes silent. He's been flustered into submission.]

[your_best_friend]

[Flowey changes his face to look like a cat.]

What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?

[flowerbed]

[Frisk tilts their head up to get a better look at Dusty.]

Your mun did a good job. You look... [Hmm.] ... just like a superhero.

[afaceisnothing]

O-Oh. Thank you, little one. I n-never thought I'd gather that k-kind of impression from people. I'm afraid where I'm f-from, it goes further to inspire f-f-fear.

I would p-...prefer to be a hero, though.

[flowerbed]

You're very polite. I don't know if I could be afraid of you.

[Frisk knows that's not always the case, but they've chosen to believe the best in people. Monsters were never simply monsters, and neither were heroes. It was a hard lesson to learn.]

What are you, then?

[afaceisnothing]

A warlord. I-I command a rather large army. Or a-at least, I used to. T-Times are changing lately.

[flowerbed]

... I have a friend who was a king. He was very gentle and polite, but he had to fight for his people's sake. Are you like that?

[afaceisnothing]

Y-Yes. I like to think so. I just w-want peace and order for Olathe. I would p-prefer not to fight, but know that it is necessary s-sometimes. B-Better me than those who are helpless.

[flowerbed]

But you won't have to now, right? You said "things changed."

[afaceisnothing]

I s-...suppose not. One way or another, I n-no longer must fight.

Hopefully, I will still know peace i-in nexus_sages, where I'm being s-sent by my player. I hear that place has a n-non-violence field around it! I find that nice.
