Undertale

Chapter 5: Snowy

  Generally, the monsters in this cold place were not particularly aggressive. There was a monster called Ice Cap that was very proud of its icy hat, and would only go away if I ignored it. There was a reindeer-like creature with so many Christmas decorations on it, it wouldn't go away until I took them off for it (it couldn't take them off itself). One of its decorations was a candy cane that said 'I use this tiny cane to walk'. And there were dogs. A whole lot of dogs.
The first dog I ran into after Doggo was the Lesser Dog. It was dressed in armor, held a shield and a sword, and was panting excitedly. When I pet it, its neck lengthened. I mean it SERIOUSLY lengthened, until Lesser Dog was about three times as tall as I was. I only just managed to escape from it.

As I continued along (I was panting myself!) I came across a small blue monster with long ears standing next to an ice cream cart. "I don't understand why these aren't selling..." he said. "It's the perfect weather for something cold..." I definitely didn't agree with that, but he looked so downhearted, I didn't say anything. "OH! A CUSTOMER!" he cried when he noticed I was there. "Hello! Would you like some Nice Cream? It's the frozen treat that warms your heart! Now just fifteen gold!"
Poor guy. I was freezing, but at least it wouldn't melt. "Sure."
"Here you go! Have a super-duper day!"
In front of me was a chasm with a bridge across it. I was on a large plateau over a forest. I tried to avoid looking down as I walked across the chasm. On the other side, I began absentmindedly pushing a snowball across an ice patch, trying to get it into a hole in the ice before it melted. A purple flag popped up. Oh, so it was an actual game. Probably one of the puzzles.
"Oh, hey Sans."
"hey. i've been thinking about selling treats, too."
I thought about the Nice Cream. "What are you selling?"
"want some fried snow? it's just five gold"
Fried snow? How does that work? "Sure."
"did i say five gold? i meant fifty."
"What?!"
"you're right. that's still too low." I sighed. Sans would be a terrible businessman. Well, what did I expect? He was lazy!
Past Sans was a pair of doghouse sentry stations. One doghouse said 'his' and the other said 'hers'. There was a sign in front that said, 'SMELL DANGER RATING: Snow Smell— Snowman. White Rating. Can become Yellow Rating. Unsuspicious Smell—Puppy. Blue Rating. Smell of rolling around. Weird Smell— Humans. Green Rating. Destroy at all costs!' Great.

I was quite sure Sans hadn't followed me, but there he was standing next to Papyrus on the other side of another ice patch. In the middle of the ice patch was... a piece of paper. "HUMAN!" Papyrus cried. "I HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR..." Papyrus paused and blinked at the piece of paper. "SANS!!! WHERE'S THE PUZZLE?!!!" "it's right there. on the ground. trust me, there's no way they can get past this one." Confused, I walked forward and picked up the piece of paper. It was a word search. "Monster Kidz Word Search?" I sighed, put the paper down, and walked on.
"SANS!!! THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"
"whoops. i knew i should have used today's crossword instead."
"WHAT!? CROSSWORD!? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT!! IN MY OPINION... JUNIOR JUMBLE IS EASIELY THE HARDEST."
"what? really, dude? that easy-peasy word scramble? that's for baby-bones."
"UN. BELIEVABLE. HUMAN!!! SOLVE THIS DISPUTE!"
"Wh—what?"
"which is harder? the jumble or the crossword?"
Knowing Sans and Papyrus, the crossword was probably harder, but I didn't have any experience with either so I couldn't really say. I decided I would support Papyrus; he had such low self-esteem. Sans would probably think I was stupid. "Uh... the jumble."
"HA! HA! YES! HUMANS MUST BE VERY INTELLEGENT! IF THEY ALSO FIND JUNIOR JUMBLE SO DIFFICULT! NYEH! HEH! HEH HEH!" He rushed off.
"thanks for saying 'junior jumble' just to appease my brother," he said. Yes! He'd seen my motivations! You got to love Sans. "yesterday he got stumped trying to 'solve' the horoscope."
I laughed. "Oh, Papyrus..."Speaking of, further up the path was a table with frozen spaghetti on it. There was a microwave next to it, and a note. The note was from Papyrus.
