.....ok ok ok
another idea

so

[ Something about admitting this to Chara feels... weird... for some reason... and he can't put his finger on why. ]

so you know that mean voice in the back of your head that lies and says stupid stuff like
youre a bad kid and youre not good enough and youre doing something dumb dont do that or tries to stop you from being brave and doing cool stuff and keeps you up at night...?
you know what im talking about?
i call that voice BRUNO...
so when those stupid thoughts start up i can just say SILENZIO BRUNO and drown it out and keep going and do what i wanna do
lol you know??

[ Something... makes him wonder if Chara even has a Bruno of their own. Chara strikes Alberto as so seemingly unflappable and confident, which is maybe part of what draws him to them so much — not so unlike the way Luca is drawn to Alberto, perhaps. But he doesn't quite make the connection himself. There's just a gut feeling like... maybe Chara actually feels the confidence that Alberto feigns so passionately. And it makes him surprisingly sheepish going out on a limb admitting it's... a facade.

...As if that weren't already obvious to someone as smart and astute as Chara, which he also likes about them. Even if it might not be in his favor this very moment. Or, well— many other moments between the two of them, really. But it's not driven them apart, either, so— he'll risk the transparency in his panic over the fae. ]

if i tell the fairies my name is BRUNO...
what do you think would happen...?

it's not a nickname for Alberto at all, not something i go by myself
and Bruno isn't ME
but
you know
sort of?

[corruptedsave]

[Admitting anything that could be a weakness to Chara is a bad idea, as they read over what Alberto wrote and they think it over.

They don't really... Listen to that voice, haven't in a long long time. In fact, they would say they don't have a "Bruno" at all.]

I don't know but...

As long as you can think of it as another name for yourself you should be good? I don't know faeries as well as I do Monsters.

[prontissimo]

[ Alberto wishes he didn't have a Bruno at all, misguided on how his Bruno actually pushes him to be better... He's glad this conversation is over text suddenly so that Chara can't see his face. "I don't know but..." tells him a lot — and confirms his suspicion that, no, Chara doesn't know Bruno. He's a little envious, even if it's misplaced. ]

do monsters curse people?
do you have to worry about weird stuff like this with monsters in the underground?

[corruptedsave]

[Having a Bruno means you don't do things like kill everyone you know and love, so Chara would say that Alberto having one is a good thing.]

To my knowledge, no they can't curse people.
And no, because monsters are just kind of like funny looking people with magic.

[prontissimo]

sea monsters dont have magic
unless you count making the Change but i dunno
i don't see that as magic
it's just what happens when you dry off, thats all?
i know you said monsters are MADE of magic tho...

do they have powers? like the magic here??

[corruptedsave]

Some folks would probably say the change totally counts.

And yeah, they have magic like what we've got here, although not as much. Like a monster will have fire magic and that's it.

[prontissimo]

whatd asriel have
did he have magic

[corruptedsave]

I think he was too young to have his magic just yet, but he'd probably have fire magic. Since Toriel and Asgore also have it.

[prontissimo]

are those your parents??

[corruptedsave]

Adopted, but yeah. They were pretty cool.

[prontissimo]

what were they like?

[corruptedsave]

They were nice and kind, and Asgore was really goofy sometimes. Like, he named the place that they lived "Home", this was like the main place for monsters to live at the time too I do believe.

[prontissimo]

like.... the name of the whole VILLAGE was just
"Home?"
lol

[corruptedsave]

Basically? And when they moved to a new place to live? He called it New Home.

[prontissimo]

HAHA
creative...
and what about your mom??

[corruptedsave]

Toriel? She's nice and smart, can bake and likes to read.

[prontissimo]

ah so youre smart like your mom

my dad was really smart too
he taught me all about human stuff

do you remember your human family...?

[corruptedsave]

I guess I am.

... and my human family isn't worth remembering.

[prontissimo]

got it.

my dads smart.
but not nice.

i miss him but i dont think id be happy if he showed up here... even tho i havent seen him for a long time.

[corruptedsave]

I know how that is, having a smart but not nice dad.

How long did he leave you alone for?

[prontissimo]

[ There's a slight delay before, for once, Alberto is totally honest. ]

like 2 years
then i left the island
but only becus of luca

[corruptedsave]

[There's a moment before Chara replies as well, because well...]

You're lucky, better to be left alone than to have their attention.

[prontissimo]

ha
maybe
dad used to say i ruined evertyhign
he said i was old enough to take careof myself
so...
thats what ive been doing ever since.

guess he was right haha

[corruptedsave]

Words are a lot better to deal with than the alternateive.

[This is a touchy subject for Chara, if their one misspelling is any sign.]

Hey at least it means you got to meet your Luca person.

[prontissimo]

ha. i know what you mean
when i moved in with massimo i was pretty sure he didnt even like me cus he never said ANYTHIGN
just
quiet
all the time...!
who does that?!?!
i guess massimo...!
it didnt mean he didnt like me tho
we figured it out
and he started talking eventually...!

but anyway youre right
i met luca in the sea, we MIGHT have met even if dad never left
but we would never have gone to the human town
dad taught me all about human stuff but he never did take me to portorosso
i only went once i met Luca
