Asriel had nightmares about being back here. Frequent nightmares. Ones that he's sure he's woken up Frisk and Chara a few times with, and yet... he's back. The sight of the Outpost was so familiar, so unchanged, that it sends a wave of panic through him. He could just turn back, he could go home, it wasn't too late-
Chara was still around, somewhere. If they haven't got caught already, and that alone makes him try to swallow the fear threatening to overtake him and make him run. He doesn't know Mettaton also came along, but Asriel's attempts to contact him earlier were just as unsuccessful.
So here he was. Every sound, every movement has him on edge, enough that if anyone so much as talks to him, they'll see him turn suddenly with a wide-eyed look and fire flickering in the palm of his hand.
[B. Recaptured?]
It doesn't take Asriel very long to run into trouble. He's an escaped slave after all. And even if the slavers around didn't know it, they did see a small, weak animal that could be a potential sale.
He ran from two slavers that spotted him and gave chase. A human woman and some kind of tall alien creature with several eyes splashed across its blue face. They corner him when one of the alleyways turns out to be a dead end. Asriel tries to lunge forward, to force himself past - but the woman wraps a whip around his leg and forces him violently into the ground. The alien places a foot on his back as Asriel lets out a horrible, animal-like wail and struggles in wild panic.
The woman looks at her alien companion.
"What do you think we should do with it? Doesn't look like it's behind the attacks. It looks like some kind of animal."
The alien stomps his foot down on Asriel, to stop him from shrieking so much. It doesn't really work, but there is a cry of pain.
"Just muzzle it and we'll figure out what to do with it later. We can always sell it off to someone off-planet. Someone will probably buy it as a pet."
The woman nods, and leans down to Asriel's level while staying out of reach of his claws and teeth. When he sees her pull out a small coil of rope, he starts to desperately beg instead. But it doesn't matter - it's never helped him before. The rope loops around his snout and tightens, silencing his cries.
If no one interferes, she's going to try restraining the clawed hands that keep trying to swipe at her and her companion.
[C. Confronting a Boogeyman]
As Asriel looks around for anyone he knows, he's trying his best to stay out of sight and out of anymore danger. He had a close call with some slavers that wanted to take him... but he got away, for now.
He feels sick. This whole place... he really wishes he had the power to destroy it all, and every awful person in it.
Despite his attempts to be stealthy though, he hears a voice that forces him to freeze in place.
"Well, well! If it isn't the little rat that got away! Came crawling back here, did you?"
Asriel turns, and he's faced with a man straight from his nightmares - his owner, the man who bought him on the Outpost and dragged him into a hellish place of chains and dark cells. He was always taller in Asriel's nightmares, but that didn't make his presence any less terrifying. Asriel opens his mouth, but he can't speak.
(He'll get hurt if he speaks.)
The man smiles cruelly at the stunned, horrified boss monster.
"You were a waste of money from the start, but I paid for you and I reaaaally hate losing money. I'll tell you what though, if you come quietly, I'll think about not making your punishment worse than it's already gonna be.
After all, I've got several months worth of punishment I'm gonna fit in for you runnin' away. You'll be begging me to go back into that cell after I'm done with you."
Asriel tries to look around, desperate for help. The man slowly reaches for something behind his back while Asriel's distracted - a stun gun.
