To Kill A Killer

TKAK Q&A - 100 Hearts and Kudos Event (not a chapter)

Riot (@NezukoRules) asked on Quotev: For New Killer: Why do you think the others act weird around you?

"I dunno, man. They're all weirdos, just in general. 'Specially Dust. My best guess is that they ain't used to having someone new around, but that's just a theory. I'm gonna figure it out, though, you can bet on that."

For Old/Dead Killer: How do you feel about new Killer?

"I mean, he's me, pretty much. I'm not a huge fan of how his presence is making the others feel, 'specially Dusty, but that ain't his fault, y'know? He doesn't know shit about what's really going on. It's kinda interesting, actually. Not very often you see another version of yourself in this sorta situation. I'm curious to see what'll happen when he finds out about me, heh."

Ryzy (@Ryzy80917) asked on Quotev: Hi. My question is if the Star Sanses knows that the original Killer is dead or if they has any idea.
Thanks

Ink shrugs. "It was in the script."
Dream nods. "Yes, I do. Cross told me everything."
Blue frowns, his hands on his hips. "YES, I KNOW ABOUT THAT. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW HE APPEARED IN MY UNIVERSE AND TRIED TO STAB US WHEN DREAM SAID HE'S DEAD!"

They all know that the original Killer is dead. However, Blue doesn't know about the new Killer yet. Ink was meant to tell him, but he forgot.

Mentally exhausted but here ig (@TheGalaxyDaycare) asked on Quotev: Dear Killz(dead killer): What's your opinion on Kiki

"Eh, what can I say? He's me, or close enough. I was just as much of a jerk when I first joined the gang. Only real difference is, I had the time to become friends with the rest of 'em. We were all muddling along together, y'know? Figuring out how to care 'bout other people again. This new guy's getting none of that. He's got no idea what's going on."

To Kiki(new killer): What's your opinion on Erry

Killer blinks. "Uhh... who the hell's Erry?"

To Erry: What's your opinion on Kiki

Error sighs irritably. "Ugh. Haven't met him yet, but if he's anything like the last one, he'll be dumb and annoying."

Blue Matcha (@BlueMatcha) asked on Quotev: For Killer, Horror, and Dust – What are your thoughts on the player, the person who controls Frisk?
(Uh... idk if the trio even knows of the player's existence tbh, so apologies if this question doesn't fit into the canon of the fanfic!)

It's alright! None of them know about the player's existence. Horror can't even remember his Frisk because of the head injury and everything, although he knows that they existed thanks to his experiences in the multiverse. Dust just thought that Frisk was doing everything of their own accord. Killer probably would've been able to figure it out with some more information, but Chara wasn't exactly forthcoming before he got rid of them, and Frisk was killed before he even thought about asking them why they were doing everything.

If they did know about the player, though...

Horror would hate them for the same reason he'd hate Frisk – because they left the monsters trapped down there. Dying. Starving. The human – the player – is the reason he's Horror and not Classic in the first place. It wouldn't make much of a difference who was behind it, Frisk or the player. They left the monsters to starve, and that's not something Horror will ever forgive.

Dust would hate the player, but it would be more personal than Horror's hatred – and even worse than hating Frisk. Because at least he can kill Frisk. At least he stands a chance of succeeding. But the player – how can he ever hope to kill the player? The person who caused all his suffering, who turned him into this, who he has fought and killed over and over and over and over again, is unreachable. Untouchable. In an entirely different reality. It would drive him mad. Once he figured out there was no possible way to kill the player, he'd endeavour to make playing the game the worst experience possible for them. Ultimately, it wouldn't change his goal – he'd still be trying to get enough Determination to take control of the reset abilities – but it would make his mental state even worse than it already is.
