― Bugerpant

Bugerpant is a recurring minor character in TS!Underswap, who serves as the sole delivery boy for Grillby's Backyard Barbecue.

Profile

Appearance

Bugerpant is a 19-year-old orange cat-like monster who wears a food service employee uniform-- consisting of a small hat, a red bowtie, a white shirt, and an apron with a red and white stripe pattern.

Personality

Bugerpant is a highly stressed-out food service employee who hates his job and his employers. He can be sarcastic at times, as shown when he is annoyed and dreams of being a actor. Despite this, he does show gratitude when Chara saves him from the Greasers. 

Main Story

Bugerpant started working at Grillby's as the delivery boy for each restaurant and the employee that assumes the responsibilities of absent staff as a way to find contacts that would help him become what he always wanted to be: an actor. Sadly, this didn't go as planned, as he found himself stuck there. But one day, he saw an opportunity to become an actor. Knowing Mettalot was performing that day, Bugerpant thought that maybe he could convince Mettalot to let him work with him. Luckily for Bugerpant, the day Mettalot admitted one monster to join him in the stage, Bugerpant was chosen. But instead of getting help from Mettalot, he instead mocked him calling him "Burger Boy" and making him play the role of "the delivery boy". After noticing what was going on, Bugerpant left, angry and distraught knowing his idol was just a hack unlike in Undertale.

After Chara fell, Bugerpant was kidnapped by The Greasers because Aaxel wanted to make sure he wouldn't "flirt" with Flara anymore (even though Bugerpant never really flirted with her, despite having an attraction). In a Neutral or Pacifist Route, Chara saves Bugerpant who invites them to Grillby's where he can tell them about his past, his relationships and why he ended up as the delivery boy for Grillby's.

He seems to be in a love triangle with Aaxel and Flara, causing him to come in conflict with the Greasers.

In Starlight Isles, he is seen working at the Grillby's at Koffin Keep, but is harassed by the bats there. If Chara have the Super Signal Flashlight, they can use it to scare them away, saving Bugerpant again, and will reward them with an IOU.

Greeting

• Hey there, little buddy.
• What can I do for you?

  [Upon exiting a menu]

  • Anything else I can do for you?

Buy

• Here's a list of our specials! [While purchasing]
• Enjoy the grub! [On purchase]
• Do you want it or not? [Cancel purchase]
• You don't have room. [Full inventory]
• That's not enough money. [Not enough GOLD]
• Oh, THANK YOU! You won't regret it! [On purchase, Small Fry: Act I]

Sell

• Uh, kid? This is a burger joint, in case you didn't notice.
  • You can't sell stuff here.
  • And no offense, but I don't want anything you're offering.
• Little buddy. You can't sell me anything. I'm not going to take it. [If clicked again]
  • I'm trying to be nice here: either buy something, or skedaddle.
• (WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME JUST BUY SOMETHING OR LEAVE ALREADY OH MY GOD????) [If clicked once again]
  • ...
  • (Ahem.)
• . . . [If clicked another time]

Talk

• Oh, heh. I appreciate it, but I've got a tight schedule.
• That tends to happen when you have my kind of responsibilities.

  [Talk twice]

  • (Sigh...)
  • Alright, little buddy. I'll bite.
  • What's up?

[Talk continues]

• Take it from me, little buddy.

  [About your name]

  • ...
  • Ugh... I hate this part.
  • (Sigh...) Here we go.
  • Hello! I am contractually obliged to tell you that my name is "Bugerpant."
  • As you can see, it says so on the nametag.
  • Please make sure to stop by Grillby's Backyard Barbecue for a tasty treat, and bring a friend!
  • . . .
  • NOW THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY!

  [About your name] (again)

  • Little buddy. Please, don't make me repeat all of that again.
  • The whole thing is a story for another day.
  • As much as I absolutely HATE it, just call me Bugerpant.
  • Please.

  [About you]

  • Nothing much to say about me, really.
  • I'm just a man on a mission.
  • ...Unfortunately, that mission isn't going as planned.
  • I really want to do more with my life, but instead I'm stuck working for the corporate machine so I can follow my dreams.
  • And let me tell you, little buddy: this job SUCKS!!

  [About your job]

  • Man, you'd think that a massive restaurant chain like Grillby's would have more than a single delivery boy in the ENTIRE UNDERGROUND, right?
  • Heh, heh...
  • WRONG!!!
  • I work myself EXHAUSTED every. Single. Day.
  • And do I get benefits? Do I get a health care? DO I EVEN GET A SINGLE MOMENT OF RECOGNITION?
  • NOT A CHANCE!!!
  • And if that isn't enough, I'm stuck working the counter whenever the frycook takes one of his NAP BREAKS.
  • So much for my career...

  [Career?]

  • SO! This job? NOT my future plans!
  • I'm sure you could tell, but I want to be an actor!
  • I thought being a delivery boy could help me get there.
  • Y'know, meet people, see more new faces.
  • Maybe along the way, I'd find an agent who'd help my career take off.
  • There WAS Mettalot, but... he turned out to be a sham.
  • And so now, my chances of success?
  • NOTHING!!!

  [About Mettalot]

  • Let me give you some advice, little buddy: NEVER TRUST POPULAR PEOPLE.
  • See, I'd heard of Mettalot before I came to Ruined Home.
  • He's pretty obscure. Does some performances here and there, people occasionally chit-chat about him.
  • But here? He a freaking SUPERSTAR. Monsters WORSHIP him.
  • I'd been to some of his shows, and he's got SOME talent, I'll give him that.
  • I started to idolize him, and wanted to impress him.
  • I thought it'd finally be my chance to follow my dreams...
  • . . .
  • MAN, WAS THAT A WASTE OF TIME!!!

  [Mettalot is bad?]

  • So he's taking volunteers for one of his shows, and just my luck, he PICKS ME!!!
  • He asks for my name, I... FOLLOW THE COMPANY POLICY... and you know what?
  • HE INSTANTLY FORGETS MY NAME!!! Calls me "BURGER BOY!"
  • FOR YOUR INFORMATION, METTALOT, IT'S "BUGERPANT!!!"
  • I'M BUGERPANT!!!!!
  • . . .
  • A-anyways. This guys leads me to believe he's going to take me under his wing, but you know what he does?
  • Asks me to get him some food.
  • Claims I'll be "playing the role of the delivery boy."
  • Heh... I guess stardom really gets to you, huh? So much for THAT opportunity...
  • (Sigh...) Maybe someone else will read my script...

  [Script?]

  • OH! Heh, yeah!
  • I've actually been working on my own self-written musical.
  • It's kind of ambitious, yeah. And while I want to keep it hush-hush until it's all done...
  • ...Eh, what the heck.
  • Want to be the first to buy a copy of my script? Let me know!

  [About Greasers]

  • The freaking GREASERS. Of COURSE.
  • Please, little buddy. Don't grow up to be like them.
  • They're CONSTANTLY screwing with me!
  • Throwing burgers at me, prank calling me, threatening to beat me up...
  • And ALL because that meathead, Aaxel, has the hots for Flara.
  • Heh. No wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend.
  • That tends to happen when you INTIMIDATE AND THREATEN PEOPLE TO GET WHAT YOU WANT!!!

  [About Flara]

  • Oh, Flara? The waitress?
  • Well, she's. Heh...
  • She's great, little buddy. She's really great.
  • No matter what, she always listens to me, and...
  • She cares. She honestly genuinely cares about my problems, and about my career.
  • If there's one good thing that came out of this job... it's her.

  [Propose!]

  • .
  • Little buddy uh that's not uh
  • how it works???
  • (oh god how do i explain this to the kid)
  • . . .
  • SO! Love is... complicated.
  • Trust me, I've tried it before! With numerous chicks! BABES!
  • And it's never really... worked out???
  • And with Flara, she's... a really good friend to me, y'know?
  • I don't want to ruin that.

  [PROPOSE!!!]

  • ...She'll love me for who I am, huh?
  • Heh...
  • Thanks, little buddy. I'll... keep that in mind.
  • Now, why don't you buy something already?

  [Ruined Home]

  • You know why some people say this place is called "Ruined Home"?
  • I can't remember the joke, but it's something like, "It got too old to be called Old Home."
  • As for the place itself, I guess it's nice... for an ancient city about to FALL APART.
  • Seriously, take it from me, kid. Just the other day, a part of the road cracked, and I nearly fell into the sewer.
  • At least ASGORE and some others are trying to hold every together... in more ways than one.

  [About ASGORE]

  • ASGORE, huh?
  • Man, that guy... he's like a big, friendly dad to everyone around here.
  • He's not the mayor or anything, but he's always helping people out. Sponsoring town events, donating to needy monsters...
  • This one time, he even invited me over for tea when he saw I wasn't doing too great.
  • Even though this isn't my home.
  • We talked for a while about life, our passions... and he was really supportive of me.
  • Though, from what I gather, he's got a TROUBLED past.
  • I dunno the details, but... please be gentle with him, kid.
  • He's a big old softy who just needs some love.

Exit

• See you around, little buddy!
