Carrot was running a maintenance check. How it started up, he had no clue. Perhaps it was fate. He would never know. "uff-" He grunted as he landed in the familiar whiteness of Snowdin Forest. He knew better than to believe it was his Snowdin Forest. He'd been in enough aus to know that it was somewhere else. He just didn't know where. He sat up with a sigh, lighting one up as he gathered his thoughts. He'd have to get to the Sans basement and set the dial to Underswap. He sighed heavily. It wouldn't be to much of a problem, but it was annoying that this happened in the first place. He boosted himself to his feet, ready to take a shortcut, when he sensed something coming at him at high speeds. He ducked as a bone whizzed by, sticking into the tree in front of him. Great. He was spotted. He groaned as he turned around to face... himself.

Carrot could tell he was in Underfell by the appearance alone. Pitch black spikey Armour with the red gloves, heels, and scarf. The cracks over his eye were another dead give away and the red magic that was a light within his pinpricks. His teeth were jagged and phalanges more like claws. Carrot could see the resemblance between Red and this guy. They were both edgy as hell. "look bud, i really don't wanna do this right-" the Underfell Papyrus turned Carrot's soul blue and threw bones at him. He wasn't going to take it. He easily dodged and jumped the attacks,having sparred with Blue millions of times before. "now.. i guess i don't have a choice now, do i?" The multiple bones thrown answered that. He huffed out some smoke and weaved around more attacks. He could end this quickly, but he really didn't wanna get an earful from Red, nor did he want to kill a version of himself. He knew just how to end this. When his magic dropped so he could prepare another attack, Carrot disappeared. "WHAT THE FU-" and down he went as Carrot tripped him from behind. The skeleton stared up with a winded expression. "nice to meet ya, edge, can we be civil now?" Carrot had made the nickname up on the spot, but it served its purpose. He was from Underfell and he was hella edgy.

Carrot ended up having to stay a bit longer to explain some things. Thus the were now in the livingroom, Edge carrying his signature impatient scowl. "SO WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE A DERPY VERSION OF ME?"
"i perfer the term lazy, i am you. from an alternate universe. we call 'em aus though." Edge stared at Carrot with a critical eye. "LIKE HELL YOU ARE ME! YOU WOULDN'T CATCH ME DEAD IN THAT SHIT!"
"this is why your sans never told ya, ay? that attitude is as bad as his, if not worse." Edge grabbed Carrot by the hoodie and pinned him to the wall. Carrot could escape easily, but for now... "SANS!? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW?! WHERE IS HE?!"
"why so ya can beat the shit outta him some more? nah. the multiverse is the one place he can go to get away from your bullshit." Edge grit his teeth. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW!!!" His fist slammed through the wall as Carrot dodged the fist by tilting his head. "that's what i'm talkin about. you need to get that under control." Carrot teleported to the couch and lit a cigarette. "now shut up and listen."

"your world isn't the only one out there. there are others like my world, underswap, swapfell, fellswap, reapertale, epictale, dreamtale, etc. we all have one thing in common. we all come from the original, undertale. it started with the deadly song and dance between the original sans, classic, and their human, frisk. it's not actually frisk but something that possesses their body. those of us aware call it the player. with every reset, the timeline breaks off, distorts and becomes a bit different from the original, thus making an au." Carrot looked to Edge to see if he was paying attention. He was shaking. With rage. "oh-" Carrot disappeared quickly. He wasn't ready to deal with Edge's anger quite yet. He'd be more mentally prepared tomorrow. "i'll be back... this is a golden opportunity."
