A sudden lurch in reality wrenched the inhabitants of the Underground into a sterile room dominated by a massive screen. The air hummed with magical tension. Sans was yawning, Papyrus grumbling, Asgore tending to a potted plant, and Toriel balancing a fresh pie.

With a sharp *snap*, you, you, materialized in the circle of monsters. The gazes of Sans, Papyrus, Frisk, and Toriel locked onto you as the Author grinned, ready to kick off the show.
