Undertale Playthrough Notes 7

Alright, a new Undertale playthrough. Should be good for another week or so.

-Ah, yes, the odd mouse-spaghetti situation. Well, whatever, lol.
-Warning: Dog Marriage....... what am I about to walk into?
-A lesser dog appears! Okay, I guess I'll take on this dude and, uh... that is a *LOT* of pet options.
-Good grief, this dog is profoundly excited to be petted!
-Oh, thank goodness I don't have to go through all the "pet" options to get rid of this guy.
-Okay, a patch of white snow and some spikes. No clue what to expect down south, so I guess I'll head east?
-Hmm... a dead end. Also, that "Warning: Dog Marirage" sign is really REALLY making me uncomfortable. Like, what am I going to encounter, and how the heck will I solve whatever puzzle it presents?
-OHHH HOW ABOUT I STEP ON THE SNOW
-Ah, okay, so it's a map. And X obviously marks the spot. Got it.
-A switch hidden in the "inconspicuous" patch of snow. Now to advance and walk face-first into an awkward situation, I'm sure.
-RANDOM ENCOUNTER! ICECAP and... Jerry? Jerry, you look... weird.
-Okay, I'm jus going to say it: these "Battles" are repetitive and simplistic. I mean, the actual "dodge attacks" part is awesome! I love *THAT* part, but the whole "act" thing is straightforward. You open up, hit "check," find out what the "enemy" is like personality wise, then choose the action that best fits. Heaven forbid you fight back even though they're attacking you.
-Ditching Jerry works out nice, and I dealt with icecap easily.
-JERRY WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?! I JUST GOT RID OF YOU!
-Hey, 13 gold out of the deal. Not bad.
-CAN I FINALLY GO DOWN NOW? lol
-Uh... hi, grim reaper dogs?
-Oh, a Dogsi attack! And is this what the "Dog marriage" was referring to? Because I have literally no clue at all what is even going on, besides the fact they're kissing while attacking me allegedly because they smell me, and also they have axes...... WHAT?!
-Okay, so many options. Don't really wanna offend them, but I don't want to get killed either! Uh... Re-sniff?
-I DIED!
Okay, trying again.
-Blah blah blah dog encounter blah blah blah puzzle blah blah blah executioner grim reaper dog wedding. OKAY, back to where I was!
-I seriously don't get these guys.
-Okay, re-sniff didn't work. I'll try... pet?
-Ugh, of course. Didn't think that'd work... hum... anything in my inventory to change my smell?
-YOU AND YOUR AXES. STOP THAT!!! STOP!!!
-AND I DIE. AGAIN.
-I hate them. I hate them, I hate them. I hate them. HATE.
-The rolling around thing was working, but holy cow that axe attack is EVIL!
-OKAY, BACK TO THE RIDICULOUSLY HARD DOG "WEDDING" THING WHATEVER THE HECK IT IS.
-Okay, two layers into the fight again. And the game eased up on the axe attacks. I feel insulted, kinda, but also a bit relieved to not deal with that bullcrap again!
-I SPOKE WAYYYY TOO SOON AND DIED AGAIN.
-BACK TO THE TWO IDIOTS. (also are they blind?)
-Okay, gotta pet them. BUT THEIR AXES ARE LITERALLY UNAVOIDABLE! and I don't wanna eat my ice cream! :/ I wanna save it!
-*sigh.....* take four.
-OH THANK GOODNESS, OH THANK GOODNESS! I got the heart attack from them again, and actually managed to avoid it!!!
-(also, if they smell me and think I'm a puppy, why would they keep their axes out?!?!?!!!)
-*sigh*.... four health, and I've petted one. I could pet the other, or eat my ice cream and get full health........
-Playing it safe. I'll eat the ice cream.
-THANK GOODNESS, A HEART ATTACK!
(...XD oh wow that sounds horrible)
-I've gotten away from them! FINALLY! and I got 40 gold. WHEW, great!
-Goodbye, and good riddance.
-That was a nightmare.
-I guess I'll go back and save. I want my HP restored (this won't count as a "save point" break, though)
-Alright, DONE and DONE!
-NOW to advance FINALLY!
-Alright, what's this puzzle? Turn every X into an O and press the switch?
-Okay, seems easy enough, just move the rock onto the x to "turn" it into an O...
-No? Hmm... how about tinkering with the X itself?
-Yes, that works! Okay, onto the other...
-.......it's Papyrus on the other side of the spkies. Okay. So that explains why this is stupidly easy.
-Ohhhh... I didn't know Papyrus was the owner of that spaghetti back there. I guess it's still there, so, yeah, I left it alone.
-Papyrus, you're awesome and horribly pitiful all at once. Oh well, at least he's not attacking me! Off to go eat spaghetti!
-Random "sock collection" non sequitor is random. Okay, moving on, I guess...
-Ah, another puzzle. And you made it in the shape of your face? XD Oh wow, okay. You egotistical manchild.
-Also, why do I have the disappointing feeling that this puzzle will be easy, too?
-....crap. I accidentally turned them all into triangles.
-Well, here's to the inevitable condescention heading my way from this skeleton.
-OH! Good, it resets!
-I'll give it another go, and if that doesn't work, I'll talk to Papyrus. Because I feel like that'd be quicker, assuming that triggers him to solve it for me.
-SOLVED IT! XD lol, I knew it wouldn't be very difficult once I jsut stopped and planned ahead of time.
-woops. Talked to Papyrus instead of pressing the button. Now he thinks his advice helped. Well, uh... sure! Whatever makes you feel happy, dude.
-Gah, he's having so much fun.
-Oh. Hey, sans. you lazy lazy man.
-HOW THE HECK DO YOU GUYS JUMP ALL OVER THE PLACE?!
-Whatever, lol. Let's do a puzzle!
-Hopefully an actually challenging one? *fingers crossed*
-All this dialogue points to one thing: this puzzle failing miserably and not being challenging in the slightest.
-I knew it'd do something that stupid.
-Oh, and I guess Papyrus likes cooking. That's neat.
-Onward to see if Papyrus is freaking out or not.
-Oh, nevermind. I don't see papyrus. Just ANOTHER STINKING DOG! I mean, I love dogs in real life, but that last encounter left a bitter taste in my mouth, lol
-A SAVEPOINT, TOO!!! YAY!
-Priorities: savepoint first, worry about reading the signa nd stuff and talking to the dog later.

Hopefully this game picks up pace, soon. I mean, yes, it has funny parts, and yes, they're enjoyable, but for every funny part there seems to be one or two awkward or not-quite-hitting parts that just don't click with me. So, here's to hoping more progress results in m "getting it" at last.
