Toriel:There is another puzzle up ahead. I wonder if you can solve it alone?

(Frisk gets to where the Froggit should attack… and there is no attack)

(Backstage)

*Um, Froggit? That’s your cue to attack!

Froggit:Ribbit. (Look, I’m scared. What if they fight back?)

*Look, you won’t die for real even if they do. Remember? This is just a performance!

Froggit:Ribbit..? (I know that, but.. Oh, I just can’t..)

(Froggit leaves the stage)

*…

(The view changes back to the regular stage here, where…)

(a cardboard Froggit attacks instead. Possessed by the ghost who was possessing the Ruins dummy)

*Froggit attacks you!

Frisk:Wow. A piece of cardboard.

Froggstablook:Um, I am a rare kind of Froggit! And I am attacking yoou! Watch out!

Frisk:Hmm.. Oh! ACT-> Compliment

Frisk:You’re a miracle!

*…You know what? Good enough. The Froggit doesn’t understand what you said, but was flattered anyway.

(Toriel appears, giving the Froggit THAT stare.. And the ghost within the froggit leaves, but unpossesses the Froggit too early, so we can SEE them coming out of the cardboard Froggit!)

Frisk: Um… do all Froggits have ghosts inside of them?

*…

*You realize this line of questioning will get you nowhere.

Toriel: It was, erm, just the one!

(Backstage)

*Okay, I suppose I haven’t hammered this in enough, but you need to pay close attention to where the boundary of what’s on stage is. It’s best to assume you can be seen as long as you’re in the same room as Frisk. Please, be more cautious about when to drop possession, alright? And anyone else here, learn from this actor’s mistake, so you don’t do the same thing.

Ruins Dummy Ghost:Sorry… I guess I didn’t pay much attention…

*Also, while I appreciate your initiative, there were two other Froggits we had that could have served as backup. I was about to call one of them. You’d had known if you looked more thoroughly at the casting calls and backup lists.

Ruins Dummy Ghost:…So it was all for nothing… I just wanted to be more than a lifeless dummy… (leaves)

*…I should probably get back to Frisk before they go off the rails.

WE NEED MORE OF THIS GOLD!!!
