I don't remember much about my life before getting to the Bureau, I'll admit, but I do remember that on these missions we'd often share our findings together on one of these posts.

So here's another little hub for sharing that information and perhaps missed connections, too.

I haven't found much myself out by the ruins, but I did notice... has anyone been hearing strange voices?

[ooc: as suggested, you can use this post to share your findings in one cool spot. Mia won't respond to everything, but that means you can pretty much threadjack as you wish.]

huh
weird

[Also vaguely familiar? But Sans doesn't really want to think about that.]

don't worry, i'll take some extra naps on your behalf

[spaghettimonster]

[It's amazing how easy it is to just agree to not talk about a thing. Like the most natural feeling imaginable.]

THANKS!!
I GUESS??
I'LL TAKE MORE, UH.

HEY, WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE.
WE SHOULD TRADE THIS, SO IT'S FAIR.

[ribticklers]

[Imagining trading away the job of liking himself to Papyrus is funny. It takes him a moment to wonder why that idea popped into his head. Well, he's definitely not saying that.]

what are your thoughts on exercise?

1/2

[spaghettimonster]

POSITIVE AND ENTHUSIASTIC!
I ALREADY DO IT A LOT, WHAT'S A LITTLE MORE?
YOU CAN KEEP SLEEPING IN FOREVER.

[It practically rolls off his fingers; just a familiar chastisement, like he's said hundreds of times before.]

. . .
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
DOES THIS SEEM. FAMILIAR TO YOU?

[ribticklers]

[Sans considers this. Talking to Papyrus like this is very natural. It feels like he's been doing it for years.]

it feels normal
so i guess if that counts, yeah

[spaghettimonster]

OH MY GOD.
WHY IS THAT, OF ALL OUR CONVERSATIONS. WHAT FEELS FAMILIAR?
HAVE I BEEN TOO POLITE??
IS BEING RUDE NORMAL FOR US!?

[ribticklers]

it's not like it's really rude
i do sleep in forever

[This does feel like an important distinction, for some reason?]

so yeah i guess this is just how we act

[spaghettimonster]

ARE YOU SURE? IT SEEMS A LITTLE RUDE.
DRAWING ATTENTION TO YOUR FLAWS LIKE THAT...

I'M SURE THAT I HATE DRAWING ATTENTION TO -MY- FLAWS!
ESPECIALLY SINCE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
IF THEY EXIST.

[Okay, maybe a little hyperbolic. But the point stands that it's not the most mannerly of interactions.]

[ribticklers]

sleeping isn't a flaw
but if you want to compliment me on my boneafide top quality wordplay
you can do that too

[spaghettimonster]

I THINK YOU'RE WRONG, AND SLEEPING IS A HUGE FLAW.
BUT. MIXING CRITIQUE AND COMPLIMENTS,
SO I'M NOT JUST BEING RUDE,
THAT FEELS RIGHT.

[ribticklers]

good thing we worked that out
so
start making with the compliments buddy

[spaghettimonster]

WHAT?? I'M NOT GOING TO JUST POUR THEM ON.
I GAVE YOU AN INSULT ABOUT SLEEP, AND A COMPLIMENT ABOUT PUNS.
YOU'RE ALL BALANCED OUT! NO MORE COMPLIMENTS.

[And definitely not because, from their hanging out so far, he's struggling to think of things he'd outright compliment.]

[ribticklers]

stingy
but i guess it's ok for now

[Also, Sans was not actually expecting to get any compliments.]

[spaghettimonster]

YEAH! ASK AGAIN LATER.

[Like a skeletal magic 8 ball.]

[ribticklers]

reply hazy, ask again?

[This is a dumb joke.]
