[ At least at this point, Break knows what to expect... He doesn't straight up pass out this time, at least? But he definitely collapses to one knee and says a nasty curse because he lands right on the knee that Sadie kicked. Thanks, asshole. ]

Ergh—

[ But he'll reach a hand out to whoever's closest, since he's asking for help to stand up. His breath comes out wet and wheezing, but he's at least not coughing up blood. Yet. ]

Why is it always breathing?

[detanimetion]

Don't tell me your knee still hurts.

[And here comes Undyne the dashing hero of his dreams now that Gilbert's dead, putting one arm behind his back to help support him...and completely ignoring his hand so she can tuck the other underneath his knees and literally swoop him up into a princess carry straight out of a Disney film. There are definitely shoujo bubbles sparkling everywhere right now.]

Is that better?

[fourleafcleaver]

[meanwhile, still perched on undyne's shoulders, chinhandsing now that her life isn't in immediate danger from weird floaty magic ladies:]

Do we want dinner or is this a straight to bed kinda night? [this is just kinda where she is now. it's cool.]

[crazily]

[ Even though Break is a rude and salty old man, there are some things that definitely fluster him. Apparently, being picked up like in one of Undyne's animes is one of them, because though he makes a sound of surprise and alarm as his face quickly brightens with red. He even sort of smacks her shoulder, though that's less to stop her and more to steady himself as he's suddenly picked up and manhandled. ]

I—!! [ He's so flustered that he doesn't know what to say at first, but this turns into a coughing fit, and he doesn't finish. Good job, grandpa. ]

[detanimetion]

[Undyne just casually starts walking towards the hotel with Break cradled tenderly in her arms and Clover on her shoulders. Surely there is nothing at all unusual about this situation!!]

Hmm...I'm not feeling all that hungry, but if you are, we can grab some dinner! [She jostles Break up and down slightly, frowning when she realizes how easy it is.] Break definitely needs to eat more.

[also i just realized she doesn't fucking have a nose so i guess her gills are just congested right now]

[fourleafcleaver]

Omigod, make sure he's not dying first. Either way I'm not gonna, like, force feed him! [She's just kinda leaning over and around Undyne's head to make sure Break's at least mostly alive right now?? Sadness takes precedence over healthy eating habits, in her experience, so she's not gonna force dinner to happen, either, but also: save grandpa.]

[crazily]

[ Clover is such a good bean... Break at least stops coughing as he looks up towards Clover's voice just as incredulously. Just. What? What are you doing there? This feels unsafe, and yet he's not actually going to object, since he knows that's a wasted effort. ]

No, I— [ ??? ] I'm not... hungry. I just need to rest?

[ This is a question because he's still questioning what is happening right now tbh ]

[detanimetion]

[Clover just lives on Undyne's shoulder now like she's Ash's Pikachu accept it and your life will be far easier]

Come on! A little sniffle could never take down someone on Pride! It'd be waaaaay too embarrassing. We'd never let his ghost live it down.

[And here's the hotel door! Hmm, her hands are pretty occupied since they're full of gross old man flesh, so TIME TO KICK IT DOWN LIKE A BOSS.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[It's super unsafe, she's almost died like three times in the past twenty minutes or so now?? Life is definitely easier if you just accept it though. She has.]

If you guys aren't hungry then I'll just get snacks from the room, no biggie. [And she cheers at the door-busting because of course she's all about kicking things.]

[crazily]

[ He grimaces, but at least he doesn't flinch when Undyne kicks the door down. This, he totally expects. He's only known you for like two months, but he knows enough about Undyne to know that kicking down doors is a common response to obstacles. ]

...If I die and you seriously make fun of me for it, I'll be sure to haunt you. And not helpfully.

[ #priorities ]

[detanimetion]

[do they even have snacks in the underhell room that isn't spaghetti] We can drop by the kitchen and pick some more snacks up! We might as well grab a few for Break's room too. [because if he doesn't eat, he's gonna turn into a skeleton and she already has enough on her hands to babysit thanks]

Then I guess you better not die then! [Yeah she just automatically assumes that if Break dies, it's going to be incredibly stupidly and she'll be forced to make fun of it. This is a requirement for Team Pride.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[Well Clover tries to keep real food around. She's not a skeleton. Anyway she tried to save grandpa from further adventuring but too late, looks like this is what's happening now.

She peers around Undyne at Break again.] Oh, you're gonna be fine. [They're just booger deathshocks!!! Easy for you to say, Clover, you haven't dealt with that shit in weeks.]

[crazily]

...If you insist, then at least grab something sweet.

[ This is definitely the acceptance stage, even if he still feels so awkward being carried by Undyne. Usually when he's being carried, it's like he's a sack of potatoes, and somehow that's more acceptable. The princess carry really makes it, though he does sigh shakily. It's not quite because he means to, but his congestion sounds super gross because his lungs are already bad. Nice. ]

[detanimetion]

[Just enjoy the ride Break, we all know you're actually a shoujo princess deep down inside. Anyway, she'll head for the kitchen now so they can rummage for dessert for Princess Break.]

You'll have to be my arms and hands for this one, Clover. Just let me know when you see something you wanna grab! [Because apparently they're some kind of four-armed robot now??? Look, the other option is setting Break free, and that's clearly just too ridiculous to think about.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[Looks at life, choices, etc, like she isn't super hyped about the level of sheer ridiculousness this has become. This is pretty low on the scale of bullshit nonsense compared to the rest of the bullshit nonsense she's been involved in since being assimilated into underhell.]

Candy bars are in that cabinet over there! And I want some fruit, you'll have to duck so I can reach the counter.

[crazily]

Well, either would be quite tasty...

[ He's at least more amenable to this if there are sweets involved? Apparently?? Break hums thoughtfully, but considering their precarious positions, he at least makes a verdict here too. ]

A candy bar, then. Trying to duck down for the fruit could end poorly.

[detanimetion]

What do you mean by that?! You think I can't duck like this? Is that a challenge? If Clover wants fruit, she's getting fruit! We'll get both!

[SHE'LL SHOW YOU BREAK!! She'll go for the cabinet first, and then once Clover gets the candy bars, Undyne will proceed to do an incredibly impressive invisible squat, bending her knees so she can lower Clover towards the counter all while keeping her back ramrod straight and Break nestled safely in her arms. Look, she can probably crush someone's head between her thighs, don't doubt her on this.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[Clover's totally about to object about how she wants fruit, okay!! But Undyne beats her to it and she laughs and cheers as Undyne lowers them to the counter.]

Way to go! [Her arms are so short, though, she's so small...... It takes some leaning to get to the fruit. A candy bar falls out of her overstuffed pocket and onto Break in the process.] Whoops, sorry. [And then she can grab everything she wants.] All set!

[crazily]

[ Oh my god. Undyne, how are you like this? Break feels fear when Undyne squats down, since he's sure he's about to get dropped, Clover will tumble down on him, or something, but. No, he's underestimating just how strong and hardcore Undyne is. The worst that happens is that Break gets a candy bar early, and he just plucks that up with an incredulous look. ]

You are...

[ There's no word to describe it, honestly, so he'll have to do his best fit. ]

...You never fail to surprise me, Undyne.

[detanimetion]

Fuhuhuhu, thanks! Though I don't see what's so surprising about it. Anyone can do something like this if they try hard enough!!

[And out of the kitchen and up the first flight of stairs they go! Hopefully the ceiling of the stairwell's high enough that Clover won't be banging her head on anything.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[Good thing she's small! She spends a lot of time ducking, though, just in case. By now she knows better than to remind Undyne that there's an elevator, like, right there.]

More candy bars incoming. [She's just gonna drop more of them on Break as they go?? This seems like the best delivery method since she's totally not getting off of Undyne's shoulders at any point.] Here's one of those peanut butter ones, this one's white chocolate, and this has candy pieces in it...

[crazily]

I actually don't think that's the cas—

[ Ah, but nevermind. Arguing about squats is secondary to being a fatass, obviously. Rather impressively, Break actually manages to catch one of the candy bars as it falls (the peanut butter one), which he immediately starts to unwrap for a snack on the go. The rest he can just let pile on him, apparently, since he's definitely just accepting this now.

More or less.

He's trying not to think about being carried. ]

Ahh, there are a lot of choices... I guess I'll have to eat them all to figure out which one is the best. [ break is not about the oatz and squatz life ]

[detanimetion]

Blech, I don't see how you can stand eating so much of that junk! That stuff will rot your teeth, Break!

[And then she stops dead. Stares at the package of knockoff Swedish Fish candy.]







...Is that one made of fish?! [WOW NO THIS IS CANNIBALISM SHE IS BEING PERSECUTED!!]

[fourleafcleaver]

[CLOVER HAS MADE A HORRIBLE MISTAKE]

No! Nope, no, they're just fish-shaped, those aren't fish. [rummaging desperately in her pockets please tell her she grabbed some knockoff sour patch kids???]

[crazily]

Well, I am old... I don't really need teeth anymore at this stage of my life, do I~?

[ Break stop talking like you're 90... You're 40... ]
