Alright, about the tapes.. How about we look at what it really says? I'll also be conducting an experiment for you all to take part in. We'll go with Tape... 4!


 * Asriel:I... I don't like this idea, Chara.
 * Chara:
 * Asriel:Wh-what? N-No, I'm not...
 * Chara:
 * Asriel:...big kids don't cry.
 * Chara:
 * Asriel:Yeah, you're right.
 * Chara:
 * Asriel:No! I'd never doubt you, Chara! Never!
 * Chara:
 * Asriel:Y...yeah! We'll be strong! We'll free everyone!
 * Chara:
 * Asriel:I'll go get the flowers.

So, what experiment do I have for you? We'll take a look at all the different ways you can fill in Chara's missing words!

Now, there are a few rules, of course. The first rule is that each of Chara's lines must work as a proper response to Asriel's prior line. The second rule is that each of Chara's lines must be set up so that Asriel's next line works as a response to said line by Chara. The third rule is the conversation itself must remain consistent-We know this tape is about the buttercup plan, so Chara can't say that they were talking about making a pie together. This isn't Mad-Libs.

Besides that, feel free to fill it in however you like! Here, I'll give you an example of a good fill-in.


 * Asriel:I... I don't like this idea, Chara.
 * Chara:Are you... sad about this?
 * Asriel:Wh-what? N-No, I'm not...
 * Chara:You're crying.
 * Asriel:...big kids don't cry.
 * Chara:So smile! Think about the monsters we're freeing!
 * Asriel:Yeah, you're right.
 * Chara:Are you... doubting this plan? Are you doubting me?
 * Asriel:No! I'd never doubt you, Chara! Never!
 * Chara:Then trust in our plan.. It'll work.. We can do this.
 * Asriel:Y...yeah! We'll be strong! We'll free everyone!
 * Chara:Yeah!
 * Asriel:I'll go get the flowers.

And here's a BAD fill-in. (with notes on why it's bad.)


 * Asriel:I... I don't like this idea, Chara.
 * Chara:Come on, are you afraid we'll get burnt? (They're not playing with fire, they're killing humans to free the monsters.)
 * Asriel:Wh-what? N-No, I'm not...
 * Chara:So, about that plan.. Are you in?
 * Asriel:...big kids don't cry. (See? Because of that prior line, now Asriel's line doesn't make sense as a response.)
 * Chara:Well, you are a little kid, so it's okay.
 * Asriel:Yeah, you're right.
 * Chara:See? Are you doubting me again?
 * Asriel:No! I'd never doubt you, Chara! Never!
 * Chara:Checkmate, humans! We're coming to free the monsters from your spell! (That doesn't make sense as a response.)
 * Asriel:Y...yeah! We'll be strong! We'll free everyone!
 * Chara:So what are we waiting for? Just. DO IT!!
 * Asriel:I'll go get the flowers.

Now it's your turn, guys. Let's see if we can get some good ideas on what Tape 4 says.
