I'm Here

Undertale

After we had had our coffee, I headed over to Mark's house with him so we could record some shit. Him and I were both free for the rest of the day and Mark had already uploaded the two daily videos to his channel. 

He lead me to his room where his equipment was set up, and to be honest, it impressed me. Sure, we had a complicated set up for Game Grumps, but this was all one dude. He did it all himself without any help. It was inspiring to think about.

"I'm not really used to having someone next to me while recording, so I'll g and get you a chair. I'll be right back!" he stated as he backtracked downstairs to retrieve an extra chair. I wonder what game we'll play. I don't really know as much about video games as he does. I should let him choose. He's more connected to the gaming community. Well at least more than I am.

Mark arrived with another swivel chair that he was rolling into his room. He placed it next to his, sat in his, and patted the other chair's cushion asking me to join him. As I sat down, I saw a light go off in his eyes. Like he had an idea. "Y'know," he smirked as he spun slightly towards me. "I barely started playing Undertale. You wanna start that with me?" "Sure! Ross and Barry wouldn't let me watch their playthrough of it until I played the game. But I never really had time, so I never did. I just know that there's a couple skeletons that everyone likes." Mark laughed lightly, "I never got passed the first level. Plus, everyone kept telling me I was playing it wrong." "Well, I'm for it." "Me too. Let's record Undertale!" 

Mark clicked on the little pixelated heart icon that had 'Undertale' under it. The game started up in a small box on the screen, and Mark set up his recording software and microphone.

"Hello, everybody! My name is Markiplier and welcome to Undertale! Again! But this time, I am joined by the handsome Danny Sexbang from Game Grumps and Ninja Sex Party! Say hi, Danny." he spoke his intro. "Hello!" I greeted the camera somewhat nervously. I wasn't quite used to playing a video game with a face-cam. "What should we name the human, Dan?" Mark asked. I thought about it, "How about Smeef?" This made him laugh, so I'm guessing he knows where that's from. "Let the quest of Smeef begin!"

As we played, things got more and more interesting. When Mark tried to kill the dummy, I advised him to listen to the Goat Mom (or Toriel as she's actually called) and just talk to the dummy. After that, when we had to battle Toriel, he wanted to kill her. "She's the one kidnapping kids!" "No! She's a lonely old lady who just wants some company is all!" So, eventually, we spared her and won. I almost broke down into tears when she hugged us goodbye before we exited out the door of the ruins. But when we exited and we were in the snow area, I was not prepared for the scary music. "Why is this scary." "I don't know." "I'm scared, Markimoo." "I'm scared too, Danny." "Hold me?" "No." "What? What do you mean no?" "I need two hands to operate this keyboard, Daniel!" "Fine, then I'll hug you!" I wrapped my arms around Mark as he whined. Even though it was a joke, it felt... nice. After a couple seconds though, I let go. Even though... no. N-nevermind.

After a minute of walking forward with a shadow behind us, Smeef wouldn't move. "Mark." "What." "Mark." "What." "Why did you stop." "It made me stop!" "It's gaining on us, dude!" "Don't you think I wish this pixelated character would obey my whim of running the fuck away!" The shadow was then behind our little Smeef, and it asked to shake our hand. Why, I have no idea. When we did, a fart noise was heard. *heheh... the old woopie cushion in the hand trick. it's ALWAYS funny. "What the fuck is this game, dude." "I don't fucking know."

Then after meeting with apparently Sans, we met his brother Papyrus. The other skeleton named after the font their text box is in. We then made our way through his puzzles and antics with his brother and grew to like the two skeletons. As soon as we reached the save point in Snowdin Town(get it? Cause it's Snowd-in. This game should literally be called Pundertale) Mark said his outro and ended the recording. "Over an hour long?! Oh my god!" "That game did take a while." "You'll have to come back some other time and record another episode. This was fun." I giggled, "Yeah. It was fun!"

Then it hit me. "Wait, what time is it?" Mark checked the clock on his computer, "Little after nine." "Fuu~ck!" I groaned in annoyance. "What's the matter?" he asked. "I should be home by now. Barry's probably wondering where I am." I rubbed my forehead with my hand, making some of my hair stray from it's normal place on my head. "Hey, if you want," he began. "you're always welcome to stay here for the night." "No, you've already allowed me to be in one of your videos. I don't want to be a burden." "No, no, it's no problem. I don't mind at all." he waved it off. "I don't know..." I rubbed my arm with my hand, unsure of myself. I didn't wan tot ask too much cause then I'd be a moocher. And no one likes a moocher. "Come on, man," he patted my back comfortingly. "I'd love to have you." I looked into his sparkling eyes, and nodded with a small smile. Mark rejoiced, "I'll go get you a pillow and a spare blanket. You can crash on the couch." he called back as he ran to get those things. I grabbed my phone off his desk, stood, and followed him to the living room. 

Once I got there, the pillow and blanket were already laid out for my on the couch's arm. The blanket was neatly folded under the pillow, and it felt like I was in a hotel. "'Night, man. See you in the morning." Mark called to me from the hallway. I returned the goodnight, unfolded the blanket and set down the pillow on the arm. I lied down, and felt myself slowly drift off to sleep.
