Finished Chapter 2 this morning. Had a few extra hours in the morning since an incoming storm+cold front caused an air pressure wave that woke me up(and gave me a massive headache for most of the day) and I had nothing better to do until going to work. Didn't get the bonus boss though. There's one or two other things I missed that the game doesn't let you go back for once you go past it. And after finishing on PC, the Switch version updated on the ride home.
Kris has spent pretty much their entire life living with monsters, eating monster food. If that works the same way as it did in Undertale, meaning monster food is nowhere near as substantial as human food, it means Kris has basically been starving their entire life. Would certainly explain why, despite Kris' eating habits, they're so thin, and why the scary scene at the end of Chapter 1 was actually Kris going for the pie. Might also explain why monsters have stats in line with Kris', Kris is weaker due to malnutrition. And yes, Ch.2 has a fight against an actual monster(Berdly) and not a Darkner, so you can't say it's just that Darkners are that strong.
I wonder if Toriel is actually aware of this or not? A book in the library(upstairs, after coming back from the Cyber-World) confirms that other humans do exist in Deltarune, a book Toriel herself has checked out a few times.
Which reminds me of other questions I have, like why Lancer is incompatible with the computer lab dark world, but Ralsei isn't. Or why the Queen isn't, since she clearly is related to the King and Lancer. Or... how she ended up in the computer lab dark world... but she must not be a real playing card in the real world so how is she related to them at all...?
I figure Ralsei is a "pure" Darkner, living in a Dark World created by the true Fountain, while the other Fountains are creations of the Knight. Since the true Fountain can sustain all Darkners, Ralsei would be compatible with any Dark World. As for Queen being compatible with the Cyber-World, maybe whatever real-world object she was created from was present in the library computer room when the world was created.
S-snowy...
I though something terrible was going to happen to Snowdrake.
Then I looked it up. Oh no. What can happen is so much worse. I mean holy shit.
Kris creating a Dark Fountain in his living room, maybe they intend to bring their mother on a Dark World adventure. I mean, their friends are all having fun(more or less) in the Dark World, so maybe wants to do something nice for Toriel as well. Yes, I know, that's a stretch.
I'm going to predict it now: Toriel will be playable in Chapter 3, and likely focus on fire magic as Noelle had ice. And there's the possibility of corrupting Goatmom into a serial killer, because doing that to the other girl wasn't fucked up enough. That was sarcasm; it was fucked up enough.
No idea on why Kris had to slash her tires, though. But on the other hand, we don't actually know 100% that they did. For all we know, Asgore could have gone full crazy ex-husband.
The reason she asked Susie to sleep over wasn't just out of her friendship with Kris. Toriel heard someone prowling outside and saw that her tires were slashed. There was a perceived danger, and there is no way in hell Toriel was going to let a child, let alone a friend of her child, wander outside when that could put them in harm's way. That she managed to tactfully avoid alerting either of the kids to the danger was pretty cool.
yo, i just noticed your town in chapter 2... is named after YOUR name from the ch1 prologue. i named my vessel... frisk because they look like an older frisk. and i named myself... chara. thats some bad juju.
Note that your save file is also named after you. When you first make a save, the filename already there is "Kris".
