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.]

got a map from a weird guy

[Attached: map.png]

he says we should check out that really obviously ominous volcano place
but he didn't put those thorns there
(hold that thought)
so we should probably rescue whoever's there
i'm guessing lucretia since those thorns are in the murals too
speaking of
same guy?
sang me and angus a song

[Attached: song.txt, because Sans is not singing it for you, sorry.]

so yeah if we want to believe them
they're the ones who are giving us some extra time to deal with that whole hunger thing
it's hard for them to talk to us i guess
even if they sometimes do it via song
so maybe we can figure out some better way for them to do that

also lucretia had a curse put on her and the hunger got to her
that's not from the singing guy that's something angus remembered

also i shouldn't have to say this but if lucretia or anyone else we're looking for is on volcano heart island
this is a rescue mission
not fight club

so anyway i'm going on break

THORN MURAL...
YOU MEAN THAT MURAL WITH THE DRAGON??
OR DRAGONS. I DIDN'T COUNT THEM.

ANYWAY. I UNDERSTAND LUCRETIA GOT GOT BY THE HUNGER.
AND THE WEIRD GUY DIDN'T MAKE THE THORNS...
ARE THORNS NOTORIOUSLY HUNGRY?
SHOULD RESCUERS BRING SNACKS TO THE THORN VOLCANO?

[ribticklers]

those are the ones
the dragon was the one doing the singing

can't hurt to bring snacks
but i don't think the thorns are going to want them
if you're thinking about those, the problem is getting around them
it's a real thorny situation
but maybe lulu'll be hungry when we get there

[spaghettimonster]

WHAT?!
THE DRAGON NEVER SANG TO ME...

WE COULD DISTRACT THEM WITH SNACKS.
THEN SNEAK AROUND THEM.
WHAT THORN DOESN'T WANT TO STOP FOR A BITE??
I'VE SET VERY SUCCESSFUL TRAPS WITH THAT, YOU KNOW!

[ribticklers]

did you tell it a knock knock joke?
also do you know what thorns eat?

[By now Sans has seen there's a mirror maze that connects to volcano heart island but that is not going to stop this conversation.]

[spaghettimonster]

NO?
WAIT, IS THAT WHAT YOU DID?
WHAT DO KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES HAVE TO DO WITH SINGING??

[He doesn't know what thorns eat, either, but he's not about to admit to not knowing TWO things in the same message.]

1/2

[ribticklers]

all the greatest people love knock knock jokes

if you think i'm not responding to these separately i am afraid you have a second think coming

[spaghettimonster]

WHAT DO KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES HAVE TO DO WITH GREATNESS!?

twice the papyrus

[ribticklers]

they're good for you
nothing like a few knocks to get the bones rattlin

[spaghettimonster]

LIKE AN ALARM CLOCK?
AN ALARM CLOCK OF WORDPLAY??

[ribticklers]

exactly
and you don't even need to get up early for it

[spaghettimonster]

OH, I GET UP EARLY ANYWAY. BUT I GUESS THAT'S A FEATURE FOR SOME PEOPLE!

[ribticklers]

getting up early is a waste of good sleeping time

[spaghettimonster]

I GUESS THAT'S A FEATURE FOR SOME PEOPLE...
I REALLY DON'T SEE THE APPEAL.
DREAMS ARE WEIRD. AND DISORIENTING.

[ribticklers]

aren't dreams supposed to be a window to your unconscious or whatever?
maybe you'd remember stuff faster if you slept in
unless they're extra weird

[Sans is not actually sure how much stock he would really put into dreams in general, but there's a lot of weird magic involved here already.]

[spaghettimonster]

NO, THEY'RE EXTRA WEIRD.
AND VERY NOT MADE OF MEMORIES.
UNLESS I SPENT TIME BEING NOBODY, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER I'M PAPYRUS IN SOME OF THEM.

[Come to think of it, maybe they are of memories. Like that time his face got removed. Could something so awful have happened more than once?? He'd rather not imagine it.]

I REMEMBER AGAIN WHEN I WAKE UP. SO IT'S FINE!!
BUT IT'S EASIER TO JUST NOT SLEEP.

2/2; locked to papyrus

[ribticklers]

[Speaking of people liking knock-knock jokes...]

i remembered something from home
but don't get too excited
it's not a lot

[He said he'd help Papyrus with the memory thing, though, and maybe this will help?]

locked? to? sans? if they lock automatically in reply to another locked message

[spaghettimonster]

SOMETHING FROM HOME,
LIKE SOMETHING ABOUT BEING BROTHERS??
I'VE REMEMBERED A FEW THINGS, BUT THEY'RE ALL INCONSEQUENTIAL.
I'M SURE WHATEVER YOU REMEMBERED IS PLENTY!

[The one he remembered most recently was a fragment of pacing and admitting his worries to a person out of sight, anxieties about advancement bubbling up out of his mouth. Nothing worth sharing, he's sure.]

[ribticklers]

nothing direct
but maybe a place you'll remember
there was a town that snowed all the time
next to the woods
and in the woods there was this big door

[The stuff about the lady behind said door probably isn't immediately relevant to Papyrus, though admittedly he cannot say that for sure.]

[spaghettimonster]

THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR!
A SNOW TOWN, AND TREES.
NOT THE DOOR PART.
IS THAT THE WHOLE MEMORY?? THERE WAS A DOOR???

[If so, Sans wasn't kidding when he said it wasn't a lot.]

[ribticklers]

[The funny part (and Sans doesn't even remember this, doesn't even know it's funny) is that if Sans had his memories, he would probably lie and say that was all.]

i practiced knock knock jokes at the door
and there was a lady on the other side
we'd tell each other jokes

[spaghettimonster]

[One day, Papyrus may look back on these naively open communications with wistfulness in his heart. Imagine, a world in which brothers shared information.]

WHAT A WEIRD HOBBY!
GOOD THING YOU HAD THIS CONVENIENTLY-LOCATED DOOR AS A PROP.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE REMEMBERING ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS.

[ribticklers]

i'm guessing it doesn't ring any doorbells for you, huh?

[Something in him wonders if he even told Papyrus about this before they both forgot everything. He's not sure how natural lying should feel, but he knows it does come very easily to him. But even to his brother?]

[spaghettimonster]

NYEH HEH HEH! I SHOULD HAVE GUESSED YOU'D LEAD INTO WORDPLAY.

BUT NO, NOT REALLY.
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MY KIND OF THING...
MAYBE, I DIDN'T TAG ALONG WITH YOU ON THAT.

[ribticklers]

yeah, you were probably

[...]

nope, i got nothing
i was kinda hoping if i just started talking like i knew the rest of it i'd remember something
memory loss sure is a hard knock life

[When encouraged in his wordplay, Sans can't not toss in a bit more.]
