[Time for a text message to the network, as Papyrus takes up Sans' suggestion... several weeks after the fact.]

IT. HAS. BEEN. TEN. WEEKS.
AND I AM AT MY LIMIT.

PEOPLE WHO'VE REGAINED LOTS OF MEMORIES,
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET???
HOW DID YOU DO IT!?

I BARELY REMEMBER ANYTHING AND I'M TIRED OF IT!!

THE DOG KEEPS HINTING,
THAT I COULD REMEMBER THINGS FASTER.
BUT WHEN I ASK HOW IT JUST WINKS AND WALKS AWAY.

IF I HAVE TO PUBLISH POETRY, I'LL DO IT.


[ooc: As always, I'm happy to drop the capslock or the font for readability if it helps, just let me know! (They continue IC because Papyrus.)]

UGH. THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT IT WANTS.
BUT CHURCH THINKS IT ONLY LOVES ME FOR MY BONES...
AND I WANT TO PROVE HIM WRONG!!!
IT'LL LOVE ME FOR OTHER REASONS!
LIKE, FOLLOWING ITS ADVICE ABOUT MAGIC.

THAT'S THE SORT OF THING IT LIKES TO HINT AT.
GIVING ME IDEAS TO MAKE PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE...
AND OTHER THINGS. MORE HELPFUL THINGS.

[ribticklers]

your dog's kind of a troublemaker, huh? [As if that wasn't already obvious.]
what do you think
were you a make problems on purpose kind of guy before all this?

[spaghettimonster]

NYOO HOO HOO...
I SHOULDN'T SAY YES, RIGHT?
NOBODY LIKES A CONSTANT TROUBLEMAKER.
BUT I MUST HAVE BEEN.
WHY ELSE WOULD SUCH A TROUBLESOME DOG BOND WITH ME??

[ribticklers]

maybe it's just trying to be a bad influence
lure you over to the bark side

[spaghettimonster]

MAYBE THAT'S IT.
IT WANTS ME TO TURN INTO A DOG, LIKE THOSE MURALS SHOW.
AND THEN IT'LL TURN INTO A SKELETON!
THEN WHO WILL HAVE ALL THE BONES IN THIS RELATIONSHIP???

[ribticklers]

sounds like a pretty ruff situation
you're gonna have to talk to it about this
tell it you have a bone to pick with it

[spaghettimonster]

A BONEA FIDE HEART TO HEART...
WELL, IF A BRIBE IS THE COST OF SETTING BOUNDARIES.
THEN I'M SURE I HAVE A BONE TO SPARE.

[ribticklers]

so it's more like bonedaries then
maybe it'll toss you a memory bone back

[spaghettimonster]

WOW, HOW DID I MISS BONEDARIES?

HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW IF THE DOG REMEMBERS MUCH.
OR IF IT'S FROM HOME. IT'S NOT IN THAT PICTURE.
AND IT DOESN'T HAVE A BRACER.

[ribticklers]

you're a warlock, right?
warlocks get familiars here
but it's gotta be connected to your soul somehow
so maybe it can dig something up

[spaghettimonster]

I AM NOT LETTING ANYBODY DIG AROUND IN MY SOUL.
ALREADY CONNECTED OR NOT!
BUT MAYBE WE CAN TALK A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE.

[ribticklers]

maybe you can use that as a bribe, too
dogs love walks

[spaghettimonster]

GOOD THINKING. THAT'S EXACTLY MY PLAN!!
I'LL LULL IT INTO A SENSE OF HAPPINESS WITH A WALK,
AND THEN! THE INTERROGATION BEGINS.
