A Leisurely Stroll [Ambrosia City]

[W.D. Gaster]

The inside of the city that Gaster had arrived in was bustling past the forest landscape that he had journeyed with Chara and Flowey through the Tangled Green. In general, the journey had no ambushes but the last moments on it did involved being stopped by the Ambrosian scout and later guards before entry.

How everything came together in not even a day in this strange world, it was satisfying that he was feeling the freedom to go onto places unknown beyond the home reality. To live a live of his own chapter, he couldn't help but to smile at the thought. Now all he needs to do is to reunite with Sans as the murmurs have it around the city as Gaster passed by the crowds of strange creatures from places unknown along with the occasional mix of Humans.

The populace all seemed peaceful. However, the Princess is one additional thing on his mind on top of the Ashen Steppes and the existence of this so called Koopa Kingdom. Never in all his time had he would encounter additional powers besides King Asgore of the Underground and the Humans of the Surface up until now at best.

With his arms wrapped behind his back as he walked in silence, the sun in the sky was reaching the twilight stages as it is now crossing the western horizion and the golden rays of sunlight was seeping through the trees making for a calm aria for him. In fact, the streets were not as rush happy; however, for some reason, he can't helped but to be reminded of New Home, the Capital of the Underground.

Yes, it was extremely specific in it's name but that was because Asgore wasn't exactly good at naming things out tier. In fact, the original city that was the Ruins was Home before the mass exodus of monsterkind coming in from the Surface as the Humans had banished them, sealing the survivors away under a Barrier. The Barrier of the Seven Human Mages, a barrier that time and time, Gaster tried to crack open with his scientific means.

Just remembering it all was starting to give Gaster a headache. A headache that was merely induced by remembering and stress.

Maybe he should get someplace to rest and in the peace of the surrounding forest. Could there possibly be such a place around here? Perhaps but that would require some assistance from the locals, whom much unknown to him, decided to approach out of curiosity as he seemed to had stopped for some odd reason. People were watching him, well, they had been since he had been there for sometime. It would seem that he got distracted..

"Excuse me, kupo?" asked a voice, causing Gaster to perk up and looked down at the unfamiliar creature. He knows that this wasn't a monster of the Underground as they had small purple bat wings, white fur-like body, along with cat-like ears, red nose, closed eyes and a pom-pom hanging out from their head. In fact, what a tiny little creature they were. "Yes, what is it?"

"Are you lost? You seem to be a newcomer here, kupo." replied the other. "In fact, you look like one of the skeletons..we don't see alot of skeletons around. Well, maybe one, I heard his name is Sans. Guy's a big fan of ketchup last I saw; he drinks the stuff constantly and somehow gets drunk off of it, kupo."

Typical Sans behavior, that's for sure. Mentally, Gaster rolled his eyes before he questioned,"What about Sans?"

"Well, you look like you're related to him.. and I know it sudden but what's your name, kupo?" asked the creature before Gaster lifted his head up and brought his arm forward placing it on front as he answered,"My name is W.D. Gaster and I am merely his mentor. If anything, I was the Royal Scientist of the Underground and helped out improve living circumstances among other things, namely with the creation of the CORE."

The Moogle's eyes widen as he perked up in surprise. "Mentor? Royal Scientist? Wow! That's a big title, but..was? What, did something happened before? I mean, with a title that wellknown, other Moogles would admire you. After all, we are known to go into the scientific stuff and I known some very intelligent Moogles, kupo!"

Gaster could feel those haunting memories flooding back but denied it before he sighed, lowering his arm and folding it behind his back. "It's nothing to be concerned about. By the way, what is your name and if I may inquire, what exactly are you?"

The Moogle nodded. "I'm Moogie the Moogle. Well, one of many around here; we live under harmony with our Princess. To be honest, we're not from around here and are travelers if not denizens from other areas around the Omniverse. In fact, you may notice that the varied creatures and people, there's little creatures called Pokemon, ponies and other things that make up the population. As of late, we have been seeing monsters around but the good thing that atleast you aren't one of those forest orcs or other guys lurking for trouble, kupo."

"Interesting." mumbled Gaster as he looked down to Moogie. "How about the Princess here? Do you have information about her?"

Moogie nodded. "Well, yeah! Everyone knows Princess Guu! She established Ambrosia a long time ago and we have been living around here since. Though, she is only ten years old and a little strange but.." He points to Pokute Palace up ahead. " ..in the middle of town, there's Pokute Palace. She lives there but ever since her absence, the city has been heavily guarded then. That's why there's a lot of guard presence."

Great, a literal ten year old little girl that is the ruler of the city. He's going have to cooperate with the likes of a little child and in his words, this is completely asinine. Atleast when he worked with Asgore, he respected him...but this? This child is their ruler? He could already feel the headache worsening. However, if she is ever going to gain respect from him, she will have to prove her worth straight down to the line. No child's play!

Before long, he continued,"If you would like, I can give you a tour around the city. It's the least I can do to help. Maybe act as navigation? Atleast something to get you to be familiar, but wow! I'm never going to forget this day ever because I want to know more, kupo."

Well, seems like he had already gained an admirer but maybe, being around the Moogles might give him a chance to learn more about their race. It was always interesting to learn more about the cultures and the world that surrounds them. The less he knew of the child ruler, the better.

"Very well, lead the way." Gaster answered before Moogie nodded and lead the way for he to get to know the city.
