so the other side of that big wall is pretty messed up

[And Sans posts a link to a video taken from the top of the Gilded Wall. The landscape is a ruin of grey, dry soil and scattered, desiccated trees. There are no animals to be found, not even insects. Something in the distance glitches--round static, with a dark circle inside. As soon as Sans tries to focus the video on it, it vanishes. In that distance is a large, spiky black mass that can't be clearly seen.

Then the horde draws Sans's, and thus the video's, attention. Dozens of humanoid figures are rushing toward the wall. As they get closer and clearer, their appearances seem to be constantly shifting--humanoid, animal, entirely formless, full of static and cracks. In some of them, an eye forms in the darkness.

They seem to be actively avoiding making contact with the wall, but with the way they reach and claw upward, it's clear they are singlemindedly intent on murdering Sans.

There's a flash of something else shifting--brown hair, chin-length. The video cuts off immediately.]

I SEE, I SEE.
YOU THINK THEY WANTED TO HURT YOU, BUT THE WALL STOPPED THEM.


[ . . . ]

I BET YOU SAW MORE THAN YOU RECORDED. BEFORE AND AFTER.
DID ANY OF THEM HAVE MASKS?

yeah that seems like itd be way too expensive!!! ( •́д•̀ ;)
tho idk if anyone even goes back there anymore so maybe thatd only be one or two suits of armor...but that doesnt seem like a very golden opportunity


[Jokes distract from bad, right? Yeah.]

JUST THE ONE.
WORN BY A CREEPY CRAWLY BUG SHADOW,
IN THE DEEP FOGGY FOREST.
IT DIDN'T LOOK THE SAME AS YOUR VIDEO,


[It didn't, and he's happy to say that fact repeatedly! But. But after what happened, as much as he hates to admit it and even more hates to say it, he's feeling a little in danger.]

BUT.
I WONDER IF THEY'RE CONNECTED.

WHAT DOES A BAD HUMAN HORROR MOVIE MONSTER ACT LIKE?

IT CREPT AROUND OUT OF SIGHT.
AND WHEN IT KNEW I SAW IT,
IT, LEAPT. AT ME.


[Nyeh. Heh heh. Leapt and then some.]

NOT GREAT.
I DON'T RECOMMEND THE EXPERIENCE!!!

THANKFULLY, I WOKE UP OUTSIDE. AND MY INJURIES HEALED.

[Thank goodness, a well-timed pun is once again a relief. He did not actually want to go into detail right now - it's pretty recent, and alarming. It's not like he's alone and in need of watching, anyway; the dog has been dogging his side ever since that happened, even when he didn't recognize it, seemingly taking a self-appointed job of comforting him seriously.]

TECHNICALITIES SHMECHNICALITIES,
YOU'RE COMPLETELY CORRECT!
SOME OF MARROW COVERED MY ESCAPE.

AND, TOMARROW I WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.

NO.

[When everything he types is capitalized, it's harder to tell when something is an emphatic no.]

THAT'S ONE OF THE MISTAKES, THAT I AM NOT MAKING.
I'M GOING TO CONVALESCE SOME MORE,
AND READ ABOUT POETRY.
spaghettimonster: (WHAT ARE YOU SAYING NOW?)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2020-08-16 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
NEVER, HUH?

[That's a strong sentiment from a skeleton sans memories, but he knows how it goes. Sometimes you're talking or doing things, and you say or do something by autopilot before you even know you know it...]

I'M FINDING OUT IF I UNDERSTAND IT.
BUT I LIKED PARFAITGIRL'S POEM.
UNTIL ITS SAD ENDING.

[What. The fuck.]

[Either whatever virtual environment they're stuck in - because Wash Still hasn't ruled out that possibility, not quite yet - is glitching out, or they're in a goddamn horror movie. Amorphous shapeshifting hordes bent on murder - there's a horror movie like this, right? There's got to be.]

[The flash at the end of the video catches his attention, and he watches the message again. Sans took this video, and he vaguely remembers Sans showing him a photograph that looked like a family photo: Sans, Papyrus, a few other monsters, and a human with brown hair...]

[But the memory is hazy at best, and that's beside the point. The point is, this is bad, and he...honestly doesn't know how to approach it yet. Not with the situation still so full of unknowns, and not with Sans still missing a good chunk of his memories.]

[So he takes the Sans approach, such as it is.]


Well, that was bone-chilling.
spaghettimonster: (CONFUSED COOL GUY)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2020-08-18 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
DO THEY?
ALL I GOT WERE CELEBRITY FACES.


[Admittedly, no fragments of memory nudged him to check the sticks.]
