Napstablook phased through the roof and came into existence before Frisk, who held Flowey, in the waist-deep water. "heh... he ran pretty quickly, didn't he? as soon as i came over, he immediately left. he looked like he was having fun. huh. i wanted to say hi."
Frisk's cracked soul phased back into their body.
Napstablook went on, "well... i'm going to head home now. feel free to follow me if you want. you don't have to." He hovered up the incline.
Frisk hurried to follow him onto dry land. The next room was large with three tunnels to the top, one to the left, and one to the right. A large pool was in the center of the room. A glimmer appeared just before them. Napstablook hovered before the middle tunnel near the top of the room. "My house's up here if you feel like coming." He turned and phased through the door of the house farther into the room. Frisk touched the glimmer with their fingers.
"The calm tranquility of the area fills you with determination."
"Do you think we should visit?" Frisk questioned as they knelt beside the pool.
Flowey slipped into the ground. "I don't know... I don't see any reason to do so."
Frisk began digging up dirt with their hands and pouring it into the backpack. "It might be nice to talk to him."
"You like to talk to everybody," Flowey pointed out.
The young human chuckled. "Yeah, I kind of do." They rinsed off their hands in the small pool and gently put on the backpack. They zipped up either side so that the dirt wouldn't spill out the sides.
Flowey's vines picked him up into the backpack, where he planted himself. "Not bad."
Frisk smiled, got to their feet, and wandered around the pool. They about went to Napstablook's house when they caught side of another house at the top left. Frisk, interested, walked into this small area. A house the shape of a giant fish head dominated the space. The two windows and door even looked like narrowed eyes and sharp teeth. Little fins popped up the sides. Fins cropped up from the top all the way to bottom. A tail slipped out from behind the house. Mad dummy was in a short training area in the front. "I wonder who lives here."
Flowey narrowed his eyes. "I don't know and I don't have a feeling that I want to. Let's go before the owner catches us."
Frisk nodded, turned, and strolled out of the small area. Napstablook's house, which was immediately next door, was interesting. It was in the shape of Napstablook, being a slightly curved, rounded cylinder. A little roof was on the top and a window somewhere on it. A second house right next to it was bent in the opposite direction. Napstablook's was blue and the one next door was pink.
Frisk rolled up their pant sleeves, set their shoes outside, and then looked about the house as they entered. It was small with a fridge to one corner, a TV next to it, and a computer next to that on the corner. Three CDs lay on the floor in the southern end of the room. Upon entering, they disturbed Napstablook, who was at his computer. "oh. decided to come, eh? i wasn't expecting that. meh. make yourself at home. just... try not to touch anything." He turned around and continued to scroll through whatever was on the computer. He stole glances at the young human and the flower on occasion.
Frisk approached the TV. All knobs but one were dusty and unused. The relatively used one was labeled "POWER ON/OFF". Napstablook looked at the TV. "that's my tv. i like to watch a show on it, occasionally."
Frisk looked over to their computer. "What are you up to?"
"huh? just on a music sharing site," Napstablook answered. "it's full of crap. someone should put something decent on there. may as well be me."
