@Dauntless Incidentally one of my main goals when I resume #Undertale writing in earnest again is to develop Undyne more fully. I feel that she would face unique challenges adapting to a new life in a settlement on the Surface, her old purpose in life now gone. I want her to become a tough and capable assistant to her love. <3

@kara_dreamer Yeah, that's a good point. Something like an idealized police force or a teacher, to come break up misunderstandings before they get too rough. And let's be real... Would Undyne really be happy somewhere without the chance to spar, if only against a stove? I don't think so. 😄

@Dauntless Oh, I have it! Maybe the reason for friction is sort of like the problem that Simon Pegg has with the well-meaning but sleepy cops in Sandford. For them policework is chasing after geese and maybe dealing with the occasional tippler. I like to think that it's been so long since the last human fell (kinda makes sense, hardly anybodyseems to know a human on sight) that the Royal Guard's become kind of a joke, and then in charges determined young fish warrior who takes her mission to save the Underground from humanity seriously. Maybe Gerson told her a tale or two that she took to heart...
