Well, the good thing is that Chara has plenty of warning, because in addition to the commotion caused by the frothing Bullmastiff of Bowling-Over, Wrath does demonstrate the courtesy to say excuse me. A lot. Loudly.

Which probably doesn't make up for the act of physically toppling people like dominoes, but it's a nice thought.

Chara hasn't really interacted with Wrath much. Just... heard about him. And seen the evidence left behind in the kitchen. And the halls. And the...

Crap. The egg.

There is no time to get out of the way.

What do they do what do they do what do they do--

"HEY." They plant their feet apart, folding their hands behind their back--"at ease," with a smile on their face.

In the face of an unstoppable force... try being in immovable object?

[garbagechild]

Fortunately, it won't come to that particular extreme.

Because the second Chara's little green-and-yellow-sweatered self becomes visible in the crowd of people leaping out of the way, Wrath and his big purple bulldog come screeching to a halt, and a big, sharp-toothed grin blooms across the other Rocket child's face.

"--it's you! Hi! Hello! I've been looking for you! It's me, Wrath!"

[hereweare]

What.

That was not the outcome Chara was expecting. It wasn't any of the outcomes Chara was expecting. They blink, slowly, once. Their smile doesn't falter so much as it gets a little blank for a second.

"You... were looking for me?"

Wrath, Chara knows it's you. Everyone knows it's you.

...wait.

".....why didn't you just message me on my 'gear?"

[garbagechild]

Wrath knows that everyone knows, but he likes to remind people, just in case.

"Because it's important, and I'm not good at spelling, and, um, the 'Gear can be com-pro-missed."

All of those factors somehow combined to make sense in his head, but not necessarily in actual wording. Either way, Wrath had apparently decided the best course of action was to hit the bricks and try to find Chara in person.

He leans in a little, voice lowering.

"It's... secret."

[hereweare]

...o-oh.

...that's... ominous.

And stupid.

"You're really bad at secrets, aren't you?"

Remind Chara to leave Wrath out of their next terrible idea that involves pretending nothing is wrong. But--

"Okay. Fine. C'mon. We gotta get out of here. People are staring at us."

Help them up on this big dog thing, then. They can ride out in STYLE. And slobber.

[garbagechild]

A lot of things Wrath does are simultaneously ominous and stupid.

He shoots Chara a compulsory look of offense.

"I am not. Everybody has secrets, and nobody around will know what I'm referring to if all I say is that it's a secret. Only YOU know what I mean. Words are amazing."

The Granbull snuffles and shakes his ears as Chara climbs on, and once both children are secure, turns and starts to waddle back in the direction of the Rocket HQ.

[hereweare]

...yes, Wrath. Words are amazing.

Chara just rolls their eyes as they clamber on the beast's back, immediately regretting it because sitting behind Wrath is the worst experience ever.

They were at least lucky enough to have planted their hands on the Granbull's back instead of... who knows, trying to hang onto Wrath, but--

"Augh! Disgusting." It's a bigger word than 'gross.' Chara likes bigger words--they just sound better.

"....this better be important."

[garbagechild]

You're just lucky Wrath didn't get into any garbage on the way here, Chara. Enjoy sitting behind the less-smelly-than-usual wolfboy mullet.

"Weren't you listening? I said, it's secret, and very important."

[hereweare]

Wrath's garbage habit is worse than Frisk's. At least Frisk doesn't eat garbage. Or wear it.

Usually.

"I know what you said." Chara isn't deaf.

They're also not stupid.

Wrath's idea of something important is a pudding cup.

A vanilla one.

"Ugh. Nevermind. How did you even find me?"

[garbagechild]

PUDDING CUPS



ARE VERY IMPORTANT, CHARA.


HOW DARE YOU.

"Truck sniffed you out!" Wrath states proudly, giving his purple pooch a pat. "He's a very good sniffer. Possibly the best."

[hereweare]

Okay, that is kind of impressive.

It also means Wrath can find them at any time. For any stupid reason.

Just what Chara wanted.

Not.

"....uh. Yeah. Don't ever do this again."

[garbagechild]

"Why not? What if you get lost? I think that Truck's talents are very important when people get lost."

The Granbull barks happily, showering the sidewalk in goopy drool.

Aren't Wrath's Pokemon so charming?
