Hey, remember way back when when I said something was afoot in the Core ?



jazaaboo designed the monster that falls, it's called a Pterofractl! |D It loves math and "inventing" and "solving" math problems, but actually knows nothing about even basic math and generally has no idea what it's doing most of the time. It’s a poor flier because it always gets too caught up in 'calculating' flight vectors and angles and parabolas and such, thus why it didn’t fly itself to safety.

I was originally going to use the mole in the hardhat from the Mettaton Hotel, but when I went and checked it was completely wrong for what I had in mind, so instead I used a really obscure cameo from an old Sierra game I’m willing to bet nobody has played, haha. If any of you recognize him I'll be very surprised.

Asgore is wearing one of his old beta outfits I saw in the art book for a change of pace. I'd get on Gaster's case for how stupid and pointlessly dangerous the Core's design is, but honestly it's not even as stupid and dangerous as the Lambda Core from Half-Life, and those scientists didn't even have magic as an excuse.

Gaster is one of the few monsters who, with his knowledge, could even begin to think what happened, but with everyone else not seeing it, he doesn't believe that the nagging in his mind is correct. Fascinating.

Oh now the other comic makes sense... Wait so is Gaster gonna retry the expiriment or is he counting it as too risky now?

CrazedFloof In reply to ??? [2017-01-03 00:23:28 +0000 UTC]

Wait wait wait... so.... he doesn't exist anymore? *Shudders* He just.... poof, nothing left? At all? What happens to them? Different World? Limbo? Scattered across all planes of existence?

And what about their families? What happens?

And they're just falling into lava and ozone. What eally is the core?

(Sorry, just....so many questions for such a haunting topic.)

I was a bit drunk when I first read this last night, so I was reeeally confused at first. Now it makes a lot more sense reading it sober :3 Also I can appreciate the lengths Zar went to in order to establish a sense of scale between the little mouse guy and everyone else, especially Asgore. Great perspective there!

BOOOOOOM5 [2017-01-02 22:18:56 +0000 UTC]

I think I see the problem. It's like they never existed, as when they fall, they are erased from existence. Only some could even begin to remember.

Gaster is so sympathetic. Let's give him all a good round of applause. 

(slow, sarcastic clapping)

I like Gaster to literally the barest, tiniest point possible. He is not entirely a despicable character, but I don't really like him because of what he's done.

Gaster spends about most of the kingdom's buget on experiments, that involve him torturing little skeliton kids, that may resolt in falure and would be a huge waist of time, monay and moral sacrefice.
No. Assuring the safety of your beloved and inportant staff members, by just putting togeather a few steel rods, or maybe even a chainlincked fence, and planting them on the ground is highly un-f***ing-nececary.
He should have another reword. The Underground's most intelegant scientist and the monster who gave the least f***s about the Underground working comumity.
Let's give Gaster a round of aplause, shall we?

Aaaw, poor Pterofractl! I love the name though!


Wow, foreshadowing indeed! o.o I wonder what happens to the people once they fall in the Core.. Are they suspended in reality somehow? Die painfully? Or just...simply cease to exist..? Can it be undone, I mean? =o Gosh, I wonder if Sans and Papyrus escape before he's erased or after.. o.o

I think they cease to exist-- Pterofract's name disappeared from the paper when he fell in.

Yeah, but..I still wonder if there's a chance to bring someone back from the Core though.. I mean, if they figured out people actually fell into it that is, haha. ^///^

So that's why Sans almost died when Gaster was trying fix his eye. Someone's fall made the Core energeticaly unstable and that crashed the test. I presume that we're getting closer to Gaster's fall into the Core

As soon as I read "Safety Rails", I screamed;
EXACTLY! Gaster, if you're smart enough to create the Core, I'm pretty sure it's not that hard to put some f rails on it.

I've always said the reason Gaster fell is because he either tripped over his insanely long coat, fell off cause no f rails, or both.

Glad I finally have someone who agrees, fictional or not.

No your not the only one, the different colors look a little like what the rainbow factory has only a lot more yellow. Pretty colors though so not everyone could get that connection between the two, your comment had me take anther look.

He probably just didn't pay attention to where he was going and just fell in.. there's no safety rails so it'd be easy to fall in..

Huh... I've never thought about that, but really, how many people have fallen into the Core? And if there's more than Gaster, are they as powerful as him or is there something special with him that gives him more power than even the Player???
That's an interesting thought...
