Day 13: Phone-calling "Did you know...?"; killer robot hosts a show.
Time spent: ~40 minutes (IIRC).

I opened the game, and the first thing I noticed was Undyne had joined the main menu, standing on top of Papyrus's head (or at least that's what it looks like...). "One more enemy befriended!"

I tried what you told me about calling Papyrus, knowing that Undyne is now with him. I did this on every screen of the central waterfall area, which means that I still have lots of screens left to cover. I'm feeling lazy about covering all of them, but otherwise it's been pretty informative and fun. Halfway through the process I thought about the screens I didn't cover with Papyrus, such as the ones from the Snowy Mountains, so I don't think I'll get the original messages he had, but going back without having transportation between areas to make the process faster just feels like a chore. My completionist self, though, is not satisfied by skipping even the smallest details. (Luckily, the game invites you to replay the game by having multiple options to answer to every question, so it compensates.)

Anyway, I went to: Undyne's, Napstablook's, the area with the tiny bird, the waterfall, the farm, the shop with the old turtle, and to all of the Hotland areas, from the puzzle dude to the lab. I learned interesting things about Undyne, which was answering almost every time instead of Papyrus. I also noticed you could call them a total of 2 times per screen, which is kind of neat. At one point, Papyrus suggested we should hang out... But we already did that. It really sounds like they are having a good time hanging out. Actually, I think they aren't really having a regular phone, but a landline phone at that. I didn't visit Snowdin, though, since I thought it could mean advancing more on the story, but man, I can almost picture it all: They're chillin' in the couch watching TV, maybe drinking soda (or whatever monsters drink these days), chatting with me in the meantime. That sounds so peaceful and relaxing, considering they're also in a peaceful and lively little town. Oh, and I learned that the technology they have is thanks to whatever drops down as garbage in the waterfall. I could understand by that why they have so much modern technology akin to the humans'. After all, we're in the year 201X, right?

I also tried the yellow snail mini-game three more times. It didn't work at all, so the third time I pressed Z as fast as I could from the start just for the lulz of watching it burn in flames, and thinking it could maybe give a different effect if I kept doing it before the other snails reached the goal.

But no.

So I went to the lab. There was some weird interference in the phone calls, so I just went on my way. I saw a big screen and and old, dorky dude-- wait... What? Are you serious? Are you telling me it's a "she"? Anyway, his-- er... her name was Alphys. (Yay, now we know who Alphys is!) she explained me about her fixation towards me and that she had been observing me all this time via a monitor a la Dragon Ball Z's Cell, and that she had been rooting for me all this time. But... She created a killing machine, which didn't arrive late at all to the party. Like, almost a literal party. I was invited to answer every question... or die. "Oh boy."

I entered battle. The music wasn't that good, but I think it fit well if this was an NES game. Just by that standard is it good. I checked its stats and wow, it had a lot of defense, logically. I was alternating between 'Crying' and sparing, to no effect. "Darn it, I don't have many healing items..." I answered its questions, noticing the time flying off, so I hurried. "What are monsters made off?" "Oh! Oh! I know that one!" I selected magic, since that's what I read back on the library, though I couldn't help but notice "Hopes&Dreams" once more. [...]
