Flower King
We became so famous in the annual Nose Nuzzling Contest...
... we were voted Festival King and Queen year after year!
Actually, that's why my store is called "Flower King!"Asgore, Chapter 5
Flower King (JP: フラワーキング) is a two-story building located in northern Hometown, east of the Blook house and west of the lake. It is Asgore's residence, which doubles as a flower shop.
In Chapter 5, Flower King hosts a Dark Fountain, giving form to Flower Kingdom. Kris and Susie travel there after the Festival's conclusion.
According to Asgore, he named his shop "Flower King" as a nod to him and Toriel being voted Festival King and Queen year after year.[1]
In Chapter 1, Kris can enter Flower King and find Asgore watering his flowers. Upon noticing them, Asgore rushes to Kris and gives them a hug, welcoming them into his shop. Asgore follows Kris into the second floor if Kris chooses to enter it.
Upon leaving the shop, Asgore stops Kris and gives them a Bouquet of flowers that he asks to give to Toriel.
In Chapter 5, Susie enters the shop to buy some flowers for Noelle after the Festival. Before Kris can enter the shop after her, they tear out the SOUL and stick it in a nearby trash can. They take out their knife, preparing to use it, but are interrupted by Susie exiting the building and asking if they think her relationship with Noelle will work out. While Susie is distracted by her anxieties and considering throwing the flowers away, Kris runs behind the building and makes a Dark Fountain inside using the back door. Susie sees the formation of a new Dark World through the window and rushes to help, pointing out to Kris that Asgore was still inside, before jumping in. Kris returns to the trash can and takes out the SOUL, re-inserting it in front of the door and toppling backwards into the Dark World.
After the party first makes it to the entrance of Flower Castle, they are confronted by Flowery and Asgore in front of an exit back to the Light World, and while Ralsei hides, Asgore forces Susie and Kris into it, tossing them back through Flower King's front door and demanding that they don't come back before locking them out. Susie panics, trying to break down the door and considering smashing the window, until Kris tells her it might endanger more people and lets her know that the shop has a back door. Before they use it, Susie reasons that whoever made the Fountain must have used the back entrance and recalls that Kris was back there, but does not put it together, only asking Kris if they saw anyone else back there. The pair then reenter the Flower Kingdom through the back door, landing in Flower Castle's jail.
After defeating Flowery and the rest of the 7 Colored Flowers, the party seals the Fountain that Kris made, only to find themselves still in the Dark World, as the Knight makes a second one. Before they can react, the Knight swoops in to kidnap Asgore, cutting Flowery in half when he tries to intervene. After sealing the second Fountain, Kris and Susie find themselves in the back room of Flower King, with the Golden Flower's container smashed in the middle of the floor, and the flower's stem cut. While Susie rushes off to find something to help the damaged flower, Kris roots through the scattered soil, finding a packet of the Golden Flower's seeds and Asgore's shelter code. They pocket the seeds and prepare to rip up the code, only to be interrupted by Susie returning with tape to fix the Golden Flower. Susie takes the code, tapes up the flower, and puts the Yellow flower in Blue's container to replace the Golden Flower's broken one before leaving. Kris can then look around the room and inspect some of Asgore's notes, but they will refuse to look closely enough to glean anything. Leaving the back room leaves the shop entirely.
The Flower King building is orange, with a golden rooftop. Flower bushes are displayed at the front next to the door, and a stray vine is seen growing around the right side of the rooftop. Asgore's truck is parked at the right side of the building, and up a set of unseen stairs a back door can be found along the wall next to the truck.
In Chapter 2, the shop has a closed sign hanging from the door. Asgore's truck is parked slightly further from the shop compared to Chapter 1. Flower Shop Loox can be found near the door. The Loox informs that they wanted to buy flowers, and had noticed the shop's back door is unlocked.[2] Inspecting the right side indicates that flowers are blocking the door.[3]
In Chapter 4, the shop is still closed, but interacting with the right side of the building reveals a window to the shop's basement, which is littered with documents and has a corkboard covered with papers.[4] The Manticore is standing outside and alludes to something that caused Asgore to "[lose] everything" prior to the events of the game.[5]
The first floor is a square room with two staircases to the northeast and northwest leading to the second floor. The northern wall has four identical flower displays, and the center is entirely covered by an exposed flower bush.
Two exposed flower bushes are displayed along the eastern side of the room. Three bags of soil are placed on the floor to the southwest, and a counter extends from the western wall. A cash register and a flower vase are present on top of the counter.
The second floor[note 1] is a square room with a locked door to the north that leads to the back of the building. In Chapter 1, depending on which staircase Kris entered the room from, Asgore stands in the opposite staircase (blocking it). To the left is a pile of paperwork, among which is a rent notice from Carol,[6] and to the right is an air mattress. Along the wall to the northwest are two bags of soil and a watering can, and to the northeast, there is a sink, fridge, and television set with a superhero comic on top.
Inspecting the photos on the fridge reveals a photo of Asgore and Toriel on their wedding day.[7] Choosing to open the fridge reveals that there is only a jar with a single pickle in it.[8] If Kris opens the fridge with an Egg in the inventory, they put it in the fridge without a prompt. Opening the fridge a second time with or without the Egg causes an egg to appear in the fridge. With the Egg, the narration mentions that there are "two Eggs inside the fridge". Without the Egg, the narration slightly differs, and the egg's "E" is lowercase.[9]
At the center of the room is a table, on top of which seven colored flowers are displayed: purple, blue, cyan, golden, yellow, orange, and green. Each flower is individually encased in a glass container. These flowers were originally part of a bouquet Asgore gave to Toriel for their wedding.[7] Even after Asgore and Toriel divorced, Asgore continues to take care of the flowers.[10]
By the time the Dark Fountain is sealed in Chapter 5, it is revealed that Asgore had set up seven colored lights for each of the seven flowers, which are implied to have had turned into the seven setting suns in the Flower Kingdom. The seven colored lights are shown in the room for the first time. The golden flower's container is broken and the flower is torn in half after the altercation against the Knight. Susie tapes the golden flower back together and moves the blue and yellow flowers into the same container, using the spare to house the golden flower inside. The bedsheet also changes to be pink and fuzzy, resembling the Garden. The TV is turned face-down, and an "anime-style" comic is laid on top of it.
- Asgore's speech upon entering Flower King is a direct reference to Undertale, where he repeats the same speech verbatim upon entering his Throne Room within New Home.
- The overworld sprites of the seven flowers on Flower King's second floor are similar to the overworld sprite of Flowey from Undertale. However, the golden flower lacks a face, and the other six match the colors of the six human SOULs.
- Very early versions of the seven colored lights are in the files of Chapter 1, under the sprite name
flowershop_lights.[11]
