frisk, what's a soul?

text

[determinedest]

[???]

[The question hurls out from nothing, from no source they can readily discern, and the question is so immediate and to the point that it takes them off guard. But it's also done over text. Meaning it buys them some time to answer.]

[It's an uninventive answer, in the end.]

The very culmination of your being.

[ssmisery]

I know what the culmination of MY being is.

[determinedest]

Your gem?
Maybe that's where your SOUL is.

[ssmisery]

maybe.
you know, I never really got a good look at mine before Wonderland. now I've held it in my hands. maybe I should be grateful for the opportunity.

[determinedest]

What do you mean?

[ssmisery]

which part

[determinedest]

You said you got to hold your SOUL.
How?

[ssmisery]

oh that was way back in the underground lab thing, because I was secretly in a fake body or whatever. more fake. it made no sense, don't ask me.

[HOW DO YOU CLONE A ROCK???]

come to think of it, did that actually make sense for the humans either?

[determinedest]

It wasn't from my world. But I didn't have a clone.

[They already have enough of those. Ha ha.]

Why are you asking

[ssmisery]

they're kind of a big topic lately.

[Souls in the news. Souls are trending. Make up your own hashtag. That's a simplification of the reasons, but it's not wrong.]

[determinedest]

Are you worried about yours?

[ssmisery]

I'm not going to die.

[determinedest]

That's not what I asked

[ssmisery]

if wonderland can take me out of my gem, that might mean it isn't the same thing as a soul.
are they something people generally should worry about?

[determinedest]

I guess so
If Wonderland is pulling our SOULs into the CORE I guess we should be worried.

[ssmisery]

yeah, well, again. that's if you die.
your SOUL is what makes you you, right? what happens when it gets hurt?

[determinedest]

It depends on how.
My SOUL got hurt all the time Underground. Monsters attacked it.
It broke a lot. But I always woke up again.

It's different here.
Most things don't hurt my SOUL.

They just try to hurt my body instead.

[ssmisery]

That's not what I asked

[determinedest]

[Touché.]

It hurts.
Your SOUL is you.
When it hurts, so do you.

[ssmisery]

actually I guess that WAS kind of a stupid question, wasn't it.
between you and me, I'm not completely sure what I'm trying to do here either.

[determinedest]

Are you worried about your SOUL?

[ssmisery]

nah.

[determinedest]

Then why were you asking?

[ssmisery]

i said i don't know.
things have just been weird. don't you think so too?
