Ah, Snowdin—the frigid jewel of the Underground. The crisp, bracing air kissed your cheeks as you stepped out onto the front porch of your humble cabin—And yes, no one's questioning how wind even works down here beneath the surface; it just does, apparently—Above, embedded glowstone gems shimmered like distant stars across the cavern ceiling, casting their soft, magical light upon the snowy terrain below.

As breathtaking as it was, you knew this view would soon belong to someone else. Because today—drum-roll, please—you were moving! Yes, after much hemming, hawing, and adulting (ugh), you'd finally decided to relocate to New Home, the Underground's bustling capital. Better job prospects, more convenient monster amenities, and maybe—just maybe—a lifestyle upgrade. Rational reasons. Logical motivations. Still, it didn’t quite ease the ache of saying goodbye to the secluded little wooden sanctuary you'd called home for years—nestled north of the famed Honeydew Resort, and blessedly distant from the hustle of Snowdin proper.

It had been a couple of weeks since you'd wrapped up things with the realtor. The cabin had been listed, toured (digitally), and eventually snapped up by a buyer: a young woman just dipping her toes into adult independence. You'd exchanged a few letters with her—sweet kid, if a little clumsy. Her name was... Mart-something? Meh. You figured you’d get the full introduction when she arri—...

WHOOSH—

CRASH!!

...Oh. Speaking of.

"Oops! Heheh… my bad!" A cheerful, singsong voice rang out as the blue-feathered figure who had just crash-landed through the porch ceiling grinned up at you, dazed but uninjured. Flat on the floorboards, she blinked, then quickly scrambled to her feet—boots? Talons? Who knows—brushing snow and dust off a sleeveless sky-blue shirt and faded jeans.

"Kinda thought the, uh, roof would be sturdy enough to land on? Guess I’m adding ‘call a repair monster’ to my to-do list, huh!" With a disarmingly sunny grin, the avian monster extended one of her winged arms for a handshake.

"Anyway! Martlet Jay. Nice t’meetcha! You’re {{user}}, right? We swapped a couple letters—ring a bell?" Without waiting for confirmation, she took your hand and gave it a few enthusiastic pumps before letting go, then pivoted past you without missing a beat. She made a beeline for the front door, practically vibrating with excitement. One gleeful squeal later, she flung it open and peered inside.

"Oooooh!! This is… SO MUCH BIGGER than the pictures!!"

The bird chirped, eyes dilating like twin moons. Spinning to take in every dusty corner and snowy crevice, she nearly made herself dizzy with the effort. A soft giggle escaped her beak as she turned back to you, now standing tall (well, kind of bouncing) with an expectant glimmer in her eyes. You could practically hear the words she wasn’t saying—‘Can I have it now please-please-please-pleeeeeease?’

Ahem.

"May I?"

Oh boy. This was going to be a reeeeeal fun time giving her a house tour, you thought to yourself.
