Chapter 23-Snails
Frisk's POV
I finished the fight with mad dummy and Napstablook had invited me to his house.
I realized that Chara hadn't narrated throughout the whole fight. I looked around to see if I could find them. They were on their knees a little bit away from me.
Worried, I went over to them and rubbed their back to hopefully make them feel better. They sat head down with their bangs blocking me from seeing their face.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked.
All they did was shake their head and stand up.
I wanted to know what was bothering them so much but I didn't think it was a good idea to push them to tell me.
We finally walked into the next room and met up with Napstablook who directed us in the way of his house and left.
There were three passage ways so I took Chara's hand and led her through the middle one. There were two houses? To be honest, they looked kinda like one eyed ghosts wearing hats.
Napstablook wasn't there so I walked through another opening with Chara in tow. It seemed to be a snail farm. Standing in front of the gate to the snail farm was a translucent Napstablook wearing headphones.
We walked closer and he became more visible.
"awkward... i'm working right now..." He said but then tried to recover by saying, "i mean... welcome to Blook family snail farm..."
"Are you the only monster that works here?" I asked.
"*sigh* yeah. i'm the only employee. this place used to get a lot of business. but our main customer disappeared one day. now it's just some hairy guy that shows up once a month..." Napstablook explained.
I took a look at all the snails. There was a shell less snail who seemed to be counting money.
*Hm, wonder where it got that money?* I pondered.
Also, there was what looked more like a tiny green man wearing a snail shell than a snail.
"I've been long overdue for a second house." It said.
Next, I saw a snail with a really long nose. It talked in a series of snails but Chara translated for me.
"Snail snail... (A long journey extends in front of you...) Snail snail... (Reach far and stretch beyond the horizons.) Snail snail. (So snaileth Sam Byool.)"
and last was just a plain old snail. You can't help but wonder what it tastes like. Chara narrated.
"Stop putting thoughts in my head. Maybe you're wondering that but no way I wanna know." I said to them jokingly but slightly annoyed at the same time.
We just moved on past the snail farm, following the fence over to something else.
We met up with Napstablook again. "do you want to play a game? it's called thundersnail." He asked then went on to explain the rules.
"the snails will race, and if the yellow snail wins, you win. it's 10G to play." I nodded my head excitedly and handed him 10G.
"you just have to encourage your snail. ready?" He asked.
I nodded. "I got this." I said determined to win.
The race started and I started to encourage my snail but every time I did it stopped for a second so, I stopped. The snail seemed to speed up a bit so, forgetting what happened the first time, I encouraged it again and it stopped again so I tried to keep quiet.
My snail had gotten a bit in front of the other two and they were all reaching the end. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to encourage my snail one more time and it stopped but was still the slightest bit in front of the rest of the snails. My snail won.
"Woo! I won thundersnail!" I shouted in victory.
"you won... congratulations. as a prize, you get 9G. sorry... we have to make a profit somehow..." Said Napstablook.
I shrugged. "Well, I still won." I countered and skipped out of that area, Chara still in tow.
