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.

Also I love how the Pterofractl is a lost soul too! Adds all sorts of interesting theories! :3 Like is the core attracting people who feel lost closer to these unguarded edges? :3 Maybe like waterfall? But Alphys doesn't...have a...nvm

...Gaster you deserve to fall to your doom since it was YOUR IDEA t o make it that unsafe. Idiot... 

...How many people have died by now? And why has no one noticed... holes where people should be? Even Gaster wasn't completely forgotten... his role as "royal scientist" is remembered, even if he himself isn't.

Maybe he'll fall in while he's putting in rails? Or maybe sans will follow him and push him in.....

FANDOM----TRASH In reply to Leludar [2017-01-02 17:16:45 +0000 UTC]

The reason it dissapeared is because when somebody falls into the core all memory is erased of them. That's why when Gaster falls in nobody remembers him.

Gaster "fell into his creation" and people no longer remember them, as if he was erased from history.
Only natural that it would happen to someone else.

Something else happens! I love this comic so much, but some stuff is still confusing to me.

This is what happens when you don't play Undertale, me.

hannibus42 In reply to ??? [2017-01-02 16:33:13 +0000 UTC]

So the core is basically a... time reactor? Hmm... wonder how that could work.

Well, time travel in the Undertale universe seems to work with single, rewritable timeline. So perhaps it could work by opening a wormhole and displacing one end of it slightly into the past, then running a current into the past, that would build power infinitely in a positive feedback loop! Literally infinite energy would definitely explain the power surges... though that'd be the least of the problems. It would be virtually impossible to contain all the energy, so it would inevitability lose stability and probably wipe out the entire solar system in a thermal nuclear explosion greater than the birth of the sun.

Still, doesn't explain why someone falling in would get completely erased from existence... with everyone else's lives being completely unaffected, despite the massive continuity change.

I'll see what else I can think of...

I like both monster cameos! The Pterofractl is clever and wacky, a perfect fit for Undertale (cheers jazaaboo!) and I love the lil' mouse guy standing on Asgore's palm.

Phew, awkward staff meeting, indeed.

MrsLittletall In reply to ??? [2017-01-02 16:04:12 +0000 UTC]

Ooooh, that is right! Because of the erasing thing, nobody will ever be remembered. Nobody will ever have witness that somebody has fallen. The missing pairs are like the missing socks from the washing machine. 

The monster design sounds like it would fit absolutely wonderful into Undertale!

I just realized that if that mouse fell into the core, no one would even remember the argument. I have no idea if I put that in the right words or not... but, jeeze. Just.... completely ERASED from existence, no one knowing you are gone or even of your existence, and with no way of coming back. (There was the Dr. Gaster appearing in the room that some people in-game experienced[myself included], but I don't know if other characters would even be able to find out how to do that/get there.) Aaaand I'm rambling. That's great.
