For all of the damage that had been done to Void City proper, Alex actually had to admit, a lot of the outer regions of the city still looked fairly intact... Or at least as intact as it could be if this entire area suffered an earthquake. A few of the buildings looked like they were rickety and loosing balance while at least one or two was blasted by stray shots taken by either Alex or Yang during their rampaging...
Still as Alex led the way, the group found that they were being led to what appeared to a bubble of void energy set up in the middle of the Apartment complex, one that seemed to be covering up where another building should have been placed...
"Here we are... Home sweet home." Alex smiled at the sight of it. He could see past the bubble it seemed.
"This place? What IS it? I don't see anything here." Undyne was stopped by Erin, whom could also see past the bubble. "... ? What's up?"
"Don't worry, he knows what he's doing~." She grins to him. "Sooo uh... This was a pretty risky gamble, placing a void barrier around your home like this. It wouldn't have really stopped you you know. You could always just cancel it out." She notes the man knocking around on the barrier. "Unless... You had something else in play?"
"I did. Watch this."
He knocks on the barrier loudly and clearly.
...............
"Wh-WHO'S THERE??"
That voice-!
"It's me Alex!"
"That's funny! How do I KNOW you're Alex??
"Because only the real Alex would talk like this~. Only those dumb FURBY knockoffs would make me speak any differently~." That was when Erin's eyes widened in realization... SHE COULDN'T HELP BUT SNORT at the word Furby, even as the realization crossed her. Undyne gave her a weird look....
All was silent....
Then, quite suddenly, the bubble of pure void vanished, revealing the missing Apartment building within, it's front yard looking unharmed and everything else unchanged... The door suddenly swung open. "AAAALEEEEEEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And the group instantly became aware of a ghostly figure with a long winding wisp zooming outside and damn near TACKLING Alex off his feet as she embraced him. "Y-You're alright~!! Y-you're back!! I-I was so-" Alex shushed Emily!Sprite, AKA Lizzie, and returned the hug, smiling as he held her close.

Todd and Yang watched the ghost like girl. Both shared confused looks as a cube descended from the sky with Forsaken perch on it.

Papyrus shrieked for a moment when the barrier knocked- and a very confused look when it suddenly revealed a true building AND a ghostly character rushing out to meet them. He was about to ask a question, but soon noticed someone new hovering low to meet up with them. "SO MANY NEW FACES," he gawked.

Alex continued holding Lizzie close comforting her as she cried out in relief that her friend and older brother was okay... Erin couldn't help but smile widely at the sight, reminded so much of her old sprite... Oh poor Ralph... Where did you go......
After a moment more of hugging, Alex and Lizzie separated, with Lizzie taking a moment to wipe tears away from her eyes. "I was... I was really worried you know...." Alex nodded... Undyne couldn't help but smile at the sight, reminded a little bit of Napstablook looking at the girl ghost. "... O-Oh, wow..! You've got a lot of visitors-..." AH YES, she finally noticed the sheer amount of visitors on their front lawn.
With a humorous chuckle, Alex motioned to all of them. "How about we go over official introductions inside? You know, so we can all get settled in after this little nightmare. Take a moment to catch our breath and rest a bit." Lizzie was quick to nod and flew up to the door to hold it open for everyone. "Everyone, welcome to my abode. Please come right in."
---------------------
It took a little bit but soon everyone was settled in to the living room. Undyne sat on the couch while Erin sat indian style in mid-air. Lizzie meanwhile was helping Alex gather up some snacks and drink for their new guests, in the hopes of settling everyone down and making them feel welcome.
".... This is a pretty nice place." Undyne said in a low voice. "Kinda cheap looking but still nice."
"I'll say." The place didn't really have any problems with it, it was a very nice looking living space, very livable... But she could somewhat tell that some of the place was a tiny bit old... Though it looked like some refurbishments had been made in recent weeks. "He gets so far into his game, amasses a fortune and he decides to buy such a humble little apartment building-?"

Forsaken blinked. "...Um..... Alex.... I know I don't drink and surf... Please tell me I'm not seeing double and genderbends...." she offered as she looked to her 'brother'.
Todd looked down at Forsaken. "Yep that's a Beth," he noted only to have a hedron hover near his face.
"Don't call me that. Never call me Beth," she hissed. "I have no right to have that name."
Yang snickered. "Some one is a bit touchy," she teased.

Papyrus looked confused. "WHAT'S A BETH???" the gangly skeleton asked.

"SHE IS APPARENTLY..." Erin answered for Papyrus, noting the similarities between Forsaken and Todd. Well... She supposed if there was male versions of herself AND PETRA why couldn't there be a female version of Todd too? I MEAN IT JUST MADE SENSE AT THIS POINT... Still after a moment, she turned back to the apartment, taking in the modest living space... The one known as Alex really shared this space with his sprite? That sounded like a dream come true to her.
She would've loved the chance to have a life with her little brother sprite after the game was over...
.......
"OKAY SO." Undyne stood up to take in the numerous faces around her. That tough expression on her face was only emphasized by her sharp teeth, one of them jutting out slightly like a buck tooth. "Let's just get introductions outta the way so we can be all FRIENDLY AND SHIT~." She motions to her muscular, jacket wearing (with her bikini now effectively acting as underwear), self. "The name's Undyne~! Captain of the Royal Guard back home and one of the most badass spear fighters in the Underground!" She raised a hand to summon a spear to prove her point...
Only for her magic to fizzle and do nothing...
".... DAMMIT..." She said sweating nervously. "Though... I guess as you can CLEARLY SEE NOW, I CAN'T SUMMON MY SPEARS... I CAN STILL TOTALLY KICK YOUR ASSES THOUGH IF I WANTED TO! I KNOW HOW TO WRESTLE!!!"
Erin laughed a bit. "Undyne, relax. You're among friends here." ........ Undyne let out a breath, her cheeks slightly red at the embarrassment. "My name is Erin. I'm a Thief of Void. And for the new guys here, the guy you just met with the ghost is a male version of myself from another alternate universe. Apparently goes by the name 'Alex'."
........
Undyne raised an eyebrow and grinned, clearly recognizing the cliche.
Could you literally GET ANY MORE ANIME then the Genderbending cliche?

"Name's Forsaken. Witch of Blood and as for the question from the skeleton.... My original name is Elizabeth Snider or Beth as a nickname. And if the armor on my arms doesn't make it obvious, I use crystals for weapons," Forsaken offered as she raised one arm that was covered red crystal.
"Todd Emerick. Technically also Witch of Blood. And Paradox space twin to broody pants on the cube," Todd offered with a smile.
"I think everyone knows how I aam, but I'll say it anyways. Name's Yang Xiao Long. Hundreds in training and roommate to Todd," the blonde brawler offered.

"AND I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS! WONDERFUL POTENTIAL ROYAL GUARDSMAN, EXTREMELY CAPABLE FIGHTER, EXCELLENT SPAGHETORE AND- MOST IMPORTANTLY- THE GREATEST FRIEND AND ROLE MODEL TO EVER BE BORN FROM THE UNDERGROUND!"
Calling Papyrus full of himself wouldn't be quite accurate- yes, a lot of what he said was primarily a load of garbage, but he legitimately believed in his own words, rather than just saying them to make himself feel better. And in truth, Papyrus was quite great, at times.

Well everything was turning out okay now by the looks of things. With everyone introduced to each other, it would at least make things easier when they needed to address each other. Undyne let out an undignified pout and sat back down letting out a small groan... "I would STILL love to get my powers back soon.... It's so annoying that I can't even show off my Spears for demonstration...." She noted the looks. "Don't ask... Frankly, I'd like to FORGET what I saw back during the fog..." Erin nodded to the fish woman as she grimaced...
"Food's on!" When Alex walked back out to the living room, he carried with him a number of sweets. A couple cakes, some soda, some chips. Lizzie followed, holding onto some more drinks. "Apologies that I don't have any dinner or lunch things, but I figured it was time to break some of this stuff out of my storage. He placed the snacks on the coffee table between all of the available seats and then gave the drinks to Lizzie to set on another table inbetween the living room and the kitchen (A kind of dining room type area). She then put down a bunch of plastic cups.
With the spread out and about, Alex clapped his hands. "And with that, I'd say this party is good to go! We survived another year with the fog! So let's get some information sharing underway, I say."
"And make sure you get some of the food too~. Our cakes are some really delicious stuff~."
Undyne smiled at the sight of all the snacks. "Sweeeeeet~~~~. Don't mind if I do~." She then proceeded to get up to grab a drink from one of the many selections at the dining table.

"That we did. I was the sole item in a dragon's hoard during the events of it...." Forsaken offered as her armor retracted to show just a black jacket covering her arms.
"Thank you for having us over Alex," Todd offered as Yang went to pick a few snacks from the selection.

Papyrus gave the food a squinty glare. "...HOW MUCH OF THIS IS MONSTER FOOD???" he asked. The unmistakable sound of a stomach grumbling came from Papyrus's spine. "...I TRIED EATING HUMAN FOOD ONCE, IT SPLATTERED ALL OVER MY BATTLE BODY..."

.............. Alex's blank expression made it clear that he had not considered special foods for his guests before this moment... Still... MONSTER FOOD? "UM... I apologize Papyrus, but I'm not really sure how one goes about preparing monster food-..."
There was a grin on her face as Undyne quickly stood up. "Oh is THAT all? Well don't you worry about a thing! I know EXACTLY how to make monster food! Just let me in that kitchen and I'll show you EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW~!" .............. AND NOW ALEX WAS SUDDENLY EVEN MORE AFRAID FOR HIS APARTMENT THEN HE WAS A SECOND AGO. ".... What? Why are you looking at me that way?" Erin had to do everything in her power not to burst out laughing hysterically at this.

Todd chuckled. "I fear for your kitchen, Alex," he joked.
Yang stifled a snake chuckle.
"Undyne! You should ask Alex before messing around in his kitchen!" She called after the fish woman.

Papyrus nervously chuckled. "UM, UNDYNE," he began. "NO OFFENCE, BUT YOUR COOKING TENDS TO GET... EXPLODEY."
