Kai: "you know this won't last, Shi", Shi: "if you don't be quiet, I swear to everything holy i will smack you", Ryu looked at Shi, Ryu: "who ya talking to?", Shi: "no one....". Shi and Ryu stop in front of a two-story house, between two apartment buildings, Ryu: "here we are, home sweet home". Ryu opened the door, Ryu: "DRACO, GET OVER HERE!", a slightly taller skeleton, with horns, a light blue scarf, and gloves, and a white demon like tail, and light grey boots (has a Papyrus battle body but with blue in place of red and yellow) walked in. the skeleton: "what is it, brother?", Ryu: "we have a new person living with us, Draco", Ryu would point to Shi and Kai, Ryu: "Shi here is staying with us".

Shi waved at Draco, Draco: "YAY, A NEWCOMER!", Shi would jump at the volume of Draco's voice, Kai: "stop being a wimp, Shi", Shi glared at the spirit, Shi: "shut up, Kai". Draco: "brother, are they ok...?", Ryu: "to tell you, dude, I have no idea...", Shi: "I'm fine... sorry, now uhm... where am I staying supposedly?", Ryu: "oh right, your room is going to be between mine and my brother's... since it's a vacant room". Shi: "alright... thank you...", Shi walked into the house and made their way to the room between Draco's and Ryu's rooms. Shi opened the door and walked in, as they looked around, Shi: "so... this is home now...?", Kai: "it won't last... especially with your track record, idiot", Shi glared at the spirit, then looked away, Shi: "you're right that it won't last...". Kai: "exactly, now you actually realize that you're an idiot", Shi: "yea... still should get settled in since... it seems like we're going to be here for a while". Ryu knocked on the door, Ryu: "hey, Shi, I should give you a tour of the city... just so you won't get lost", Shi: "alright...", Shi would walk out of their room, and they looked up at Ryu, Shi: "let's go...". Ryu led Shi around the city, pointing out TDF!Muffet's bakery, TDF!Toriel's schoolhouse, TDF!Grillby's pub, and TDF!Mettaton's recording studio. a skeleton with mint partly transparent hair, a black heart mark under their left eye, small white horns on their head dripped with a bit of green, a black sweater with a sea green heart on the left sleeve, dark blue pants, thigh high boots, and fingerless gloves patterned light grey and black, with a sea green heart on the back of the hand, followed by a small dark blue dog with floppy ears and white speckles all over, white eyes and small white wings, a sea green collar with a tag with "Night" written on it, and a moon and star dangling from the end of its tail, walked up to Shi and Ryu. The skeleton: "hey, Dragon boy, what's new?", Ryu: "hey, Asher, just showing Shi around", Asher: "who's Shi?". 

Shi waved at Asher, Shi: "I'm Shi... and this is Kai", Shi pointed to the spirit, Asher: "ok, well welcome to the city, as you heard my name is Asher, and this little guy is Night", Asher picked up Night, who barked in response. Shi pet Night on the head, Shi: "cute dog... so what're you doing in the city... or this Au... specifically...?", Asher: "well... I'm an outcode... but I still like to visit my friend here...". Ryu: "sorry to cut this short, Asher... but I need to finish taking Shi around the city...", Asher: "alright, Dragon boy, take care the both of you", Asher and Night walked off. a human, with a goop like tail, a sweater, that was light blue and purple with a cat ears hood, their hair was light brown with green streaks through it, blue shoes, and dark grey sweatpants, walked up behind Ryu, the human: "boo!", Ryu jumped, Ryu: "AHHH, WHAT THE...", Ryu turned around to face the human, Ryu: "Ace... I should have known it was you". Ace laughed then looked at Shi, Ace: "oh, hi, who are you?", Shi hid a bit behind Ryu, Ryu: "this is Shi... they're new to the city, treat them nicely, Ace", Ryu led Shi through the rest of the city with Ace following behind, Kai: "how annoying, Shi, I can't wait till this all goes down", Shi: "shut it, Kai...", Ace: "who ya talking to?", Shi: "no one...". Ryu led the three of them to TDF!Toriel's house, dropping Ace off, Ryu: "see ya, Ace", Shi: "bye...", Ace: "bye guys!", Ace ran off inside. Ryu led Shi back to his and Draco's house, Ryu: "let's get inside and relax, Shi", Kai: "they're all idiots", Shi glared at the spirit then looked at Ryu, Shi: "alright...", Ryu and Shi walked inside the house.

-excerpt from Shi's perspective, in the form of a diary entry-

"it's been a week since I've arrived in this Au, everything has been calmer than... back at my Au... too calm in fact, I'm pretty sure Kai is planning something, but I can't tell the only thing I can tell is my soul feels like it's changing little by little with every day that passes by, I don't know how long I have till whatever Kai had predicted comes up, but I do know one thing, everyone here is so friendly and kind... even if I'm a stranger in their Au, Asher has showed up three days a week just to have fun with Ryu and I, Ace keeps popping up out of nowhere and scaring Ryu, and I to death, and Draco is overly excited to cook with Ryu every time I walk into the kitchen, and Kai has been quiet since the first day we arrived in this Au. I hope nothing changes, I like this new home I have..."
