Honeydew Shopkeeper
The Honeydew Shopkeeper is a vendor encountered in Honeydew Resort. They were first revealed in the game's Snowdin trailer.[1]
Shop[edit | edit source]
The shop has the following items for sale:
- Honeydew Coffee for 16G
- Honeydew Pancake for 18G
- G.B. Bear for 22G
- Honeydew Pin for 30G
On the Genocide Route, items still cost money until the Snowdin kill count is exhausted. Once the kill count is exhausted, they become free, but only one of each item can be taken.
Profile[edit | edit source]
Appearance[edit | edit source]
The Honeydew Shopkeeper is an anthropomorphic pink bear. They wear an olive coat resembling a baker's uniform.
Personality[edit | edit source]
The Honeydew Shopkeeper is a service employee who tries to be friendly but is very anxious. Despite how long they have been working at the Honeydew Resort, they still forget their lines, causing them distress. They have low self-confidence and do not believe themself to fit their job.
Main Story[edit | edit source]
The Honeydew Shopkeeper has been working at the resort for over a year. They were interested in befriending Dalv before he moved to the Dark Ruins (well over a year before the game begins), but says the thought of socializing was stressful, and before they got the courage, he stopped showing up.
Neutral and Pacifist Route[edit | edit source]
The Honeydew Shopkeeper can be encountered behind the bar in the Honeydew Lodge. They sell items to Clover, including healing items and armor.
Genocide Route[edit | edit source]
The Honeydew Shopkeeper stays the same as in the other routes, but after the kill count is exhausted they disappear.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Before buying something
- W-welcome to the Honeydew Resort! Please, look around. (was that the line?) [Upon entrance]
- Does it look bad? [Upon exiting a menu]
Buy
- Anything look good? [While purchasing]
- Thanks, stranger! [On purchase]
- Sorry, you need more money... [If not enough G]
- Looks like you're full... [If inventory is full]
Sell
- I appreciate the offer, but...
- My dad would ground me if I bought items off strangers.
- That's what he always told me.
- "Don't buy items off strangers."
- Heh heh... heh...
Sell again
- I already declined...
- Was... was I not nice enough?
- Over a year of working here and I still screw everything up.
Talk
- You w-want to talk?
- [This resort]
- Um...
- Well...
- This resort has been a family business for years.
- We use local honey in all of our goodies while providing a warm place to visit.
- It was started by my great-great-uncle back in...
- Or was it my great-great-grandfather...
- I...
- I can't answer this customer's simple question!
- I'm not cut out for this job.
- [This resort (NEW)]
- So uhh, more about this place...
- Our amenities are neat!
- The honey cooler, our coveted latte machine... Oh, and the space heater! That's a special one!
- It was donated to us by a real nice engineer by the name of Chujin! His apprentice helped as well.
- He worked in the Steamworks ages ago when it was, ya know... operational.
- Of course, everyone around here knew him for his generosity and soft smile.
- Always wanted to make people feel welcome!
- The heat from that machine often reminds me of those days...
- I hope it does you too! If... you were there, which you weren't...
- I'll shut up now.
- [How's business?]
- It's better than ever.
- This is the place to be in Snowdin!
- Some come for the band, some for the hotspring...
- But the monsters love our coffee the most.
- I don't blame them one bit.
- It's a sweet blend of coffee beans, hazelnut creamer, and honey, straight from the forest.
- I've already had thirteen cups this morning!
- [The band]
- The band?
- Let's see...
- We have a few acts that come here to play.
- The band is a very popular one from Hotland.
- Oh! You should TOTALLY hear their new single.
- I especially love the chorus!
- It's so good and-
- and...
- Oh no.
- I've just been talking about what I like.
- You must be so bored...
- This is why I don't like conversations.
- [Dalv]
- That name rings a bell.
- Hmm...
- Oh, I remember!
- Strange little guy.
- He would often visit here, sit down, and watch the band.
- It looked like he was in a trance every time he watched them.
- I always wanted to talk to him, but...
- The thought of socializing that much always scared me...
- Before I could muster the courage, he suddenly stopped visiting.
- I wonder where he went?
- If you see him, be sure to tell him he's always welcome here!
- [Royal Guard]
- You don't know what the Royal Guard is?
- Why they're the peacekeepers of the Underground!
- They set up stations all around and keep watch for wrongdoers.
- Typically, they handle small stuff. Schemers and scammers, you know.
- But then there are the big jobs. Jobs that don't come around very often.
- I... don't think you've learned about that particular subject in school yet, by the looks of you.
- You gotta be REALLY mature before that enters the curriculum. Like... a highschooler.
- Sooo... sorry! I wouldn't want to spoil your homework!
- [Mo]
- "Mo?"
- Ohhh! "More!", You want more of something?
- Coffee? Live music? Let me know and I'll see what I can do!
- [No, Mo]
- No more? Um, alright then...
- ...What?
- Something wrong? You look annoyed...
- I-I didn't mean to upset you if I did!
- (How in the world do I communicate with children???)
- Uhhh - do you like video games? There's an arcade located in the Dunes!
- You should ask your parents to take you there!
- (Did that work?)
- [Weather]
- The snow should stop falling soon. Usually lasts a day at a time.
- It's all super interesting!
- The Underground is large enough to house its own ecosystem, did you know that?
- That's why snow covers the ground and plant life surrounds us despite the obvious lack of sunlight.
- There's also these gemstone things but that's a whole other can of snails...
- Oh, s-sorry for the lecture!
- I kind of want to be a teacher when I get older... It's not important......
- [Joke]
- You want to h-hear a joke???
- (The things I do for customers...)
- Alright, uh... Let me think...
- Okay, here's one:
- Why did the dishonest monster get fired from his job?
- ...
- He was caught lying around! Heh...
- ...
- ...Not even a chuckle? Man...
- Definitely keeping this off the daily report.
Exit
- See ya! Thanks for being so kind!

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The developers did not make a name for the Honeydew Shopkeeper.[3]
- The top shelf in the Honeydew Shopkeeper's background foreshadows the future bosses on the Pacifist Route: a bird for Martlet, a star for Starlo, a lightbulb for Axis, and a bow for Ceroba.
- The background shown in the Snowdin Trailer did not have this, as it was redrawn late in development.[4]
