One Thing Ive Learned About Writing Is Give Everything A Face. Its No Good To Write Passively That The
One thing I’ve learned about writing is ”give everything a face”. It’s no good to write passively that the nobility fled the city or that the toxic marshes were poisoning the animals beyond any ability to function. Make a protagonist see how a desperate woman in torn silks climbs onto a carriage and speeds off, or a two-headed deer wanders right into the camp and into the fire. Don’t just have an ambiguous flock of all-controlling oligarchy, name one or two representatives of it, and illustrate just how vile and greedy they are as people.
it’s bad to have characters who serve no purpose in the story, but giving something a face is a perfectly valid purpose.

Night 9

The remaining trio gather together in preparation to fight to the death.

RIP Sans. To be honest, I was kind of rooting for you lol-
End of Night 9

Yesss >:D

Day 2

:D Someone draw this, this is adorable. Passive fishing! Maybe he has a little boat to fish in, too!

Whaaat? No, don't run! He's most likely just curious about you!
And jeez, Pen! Never knew you did archery! I figured that you'd have terrible depth perception because of your eye, but maybe that's why you're practicing it. To improve.

That honestly sounds like it would be a really interesting conversation.

Golly, Lust! Did he censor you too much or something?

They called a truce last night. Maybe they both snored so loud that they woke each other up. That would explain both of their reactions.

Being killed with your own mother's corpse. What a way to go /silly

Wonder what timeline shenanigans that last one will cause.
End of Day 2

Yesss >:D

Honestly? Based, Pen. Get out of there. I don't think you stand much of a chance and I mean that in the most affectionate and sympathetic way possible :,D
And what an unusual team up! Lust, Ink, and Nightmare!
[ctnd below the cut]

Lots of people running away. Though I think Paper Crane most likely saw something interesting far away and went to go check it out.
And another strange team up! A bit weird that Dream has decided to pool resources with these negative folks, but eh. Maybe it happened too fast to choose who he shared with.

Jesus Sixbones! Didn't know you had it in you!
RIP Epic, guess he has more than one crack in his skull now.
And dude, Sci. You know Error probably could have defended himself, right? He probably doesn't even appreciate it /affectionate

Very in character for both! Sans is playing it safe, meanwhile Decans seems to be headed right for the offensive. He probably learned to do that out of necessity.
End of Bloodbath

Night 6

Oh dear. That's not forboding at all.

What a peaceful night. Though I worry for Sans and Fell.
