It's been a long trip.

Definitions of 'long' are a little variable, but all three children have been anxious to see an end to their travels. It didn't start when they crossed through the Ingress, but long before that.

Someone climbed a mountain for an unhappy reason.

Someone carried a body to a field of golden flowers.

Someone took a long journey, just wanting to live their life.

But now they've come, not to The End, but an end. It's not perfect, not quite what any of them were expecting. But it's better, it's theirs, and...they can stay. What it means to each child, what they think of it and what they have to say, it all varies. But no one and nothing can or will take this from them.

The three of them are gathered together in a park. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming...a blanket is laid out on the grass, and in a cooler drinks and snacks are kept on hand. A few toys lay nearby, but it seems that for now the trio is content enough to relax and talk amongst themselves. Smiles adorn their faces (though one face in particular wears theirs a little sharply), and the scene is...nice. This is nice.

Even if they may not agree, they have long since earned this respite.


(( ooc: Feel free to come and pester the kiddos! Everyone will be responding separately, though there may be threadjacking or some doubling up. Have fun! ))

"Hello!"

Hey, Reinhardt isn't in the business of being picky. He's always been the friendly sort. And apparently, this small being is a friend of Frisk's... which mean he's a friend of Reinhardt's. Immediately.

He hunkers down a bit, so he's not so gigantic.

"I am Reinhardt! And who may you be?"

[pleasereset]

He appreciates the effort Reinhardt is taking to make himself a little shorter. It's always a little intimidating to talk to someone towering over you. Mettaton being Asriel's exception.

"My name's Asriel! I'm Frisk's brother!"

As well as Chara's but he'll let Chara introduce themselves first if they want. Clearly there's a strong family resemblance here.

[grandpaladin]

Reinhardt's used to hunkering down for kids. Thanks to Torbjörn -- and that massive family of his. Also, thanks to Overwatch in general for his not so much as blinking when Asriel introduces himself.

Hey, if Lena and Emily's family includes Winston, Frisk's can include a nonhuman.

"It is a pleasure to meet part of Frisk's family!" And he means it. One hundred and ten percent. "A big pleasure indeed, Asriel!"

[pleasereset]

A swelling happiness rises in Asriel's chest at the word "family". That's right, he was here with his family - both Chara and Frisk. Here on a planet that didn't seem like it would hurt them in some way or take them away from each other.

It still felt hard to believe it was true. That planet where they spent a year at a party seemed nice too before they all realized it was a trick.

"It's nice to meet you too, Reinhardt! You're one of Frisk's friends?"

[grandpaladin]

"If they would call me that, yes!"

It's said with a lot of amusement, and warmth. Because of course he calls Frisk his friend. But far be it from him to insist they call him the same.

"Have you been here long?"

[pleasereset]

It's not surprising. Frisk is warm and pleasant to be around, even if they don't think so. It's why Asriel was able to accept them into his family so easily, or why they made so many friends with the monsters of the Underground.

"Mm... well, we've just moved into a place where everyone wears lots of different funny clothes."

The region of mixed up timelines, although Asriel doesn't know that. Their knowledge of human history, their fashion and behaviors through the ages, is pretty limited.

"But I've been on the Moira waaaay longer! I've had two birthdays, and one of 'em I don't even remember!"

[grandpaladin]

"Oh? How so?"

Hey, even if Asriel has no clue what exactly is going on, Reinhardt is more than happy to listen to the description. Maybe they can figure it out together.

He laughs -- it's gentle, but no less honest than his usual ones. "You cannot remember your birthday? My friend, that means you are entitled to another!"
