[The first thing visible on the screen is eyesockets. Big, round, empty eyesockets, with the back of the skull just visible if anyone's paying attention.]
Wowie! This is even cooler than my phone at home! Look at all the buttons! And now everyone can see and hear me, regardless of where they are? Nyeh-heh-heh!
[Finally, the person on the screen pulls their arm away from their face and holds it up, tilted down slightly at a classic selfie angle.
Word has probably spread about living skeletons on the ship, and now it appears the tall one is addressing everyone.]
A-HEM!
[He doesn't have a throat to clear; he just literally said the word "ahem" really loud.]
Attention, monsters and humans and... otherwise! I, the great Papyrus, was selected to act as your new Morale Officer, and as such, I have some questions for you. Do not be intimidated! There are no wrong answers, just a really cool guy listening to everything you have to say!
[He ticks the questions off on his bony fingers.]
Firstly! If we haven't yet met, what is your name?
Secondly! Are you happy here on the ship?
Thirdly! If not, what is troubling you, and do you need a hug?
And lastly, if you said yes to the second part, what is your location. I may need a few minutes, as this place can get a little confusing, but just hang in there! I believe in you!
[A short pause as he tries to think of what else to say. This is his big debut, he should make himself seem as cool as possible so he can attract a lot of friends! Maybe he can just use some awesome radio slang and end it here? Yes, yes, of course, that's totally what cool guys do!]
This has been a very important message from the great Papyrus! Roger and out. No, wait--!
[Thinking he can erase the message and do it over, he jabs a button and turns it off.]

[Starflight's trying very hard not to look disappointed, but after getting the name of his apparent 'soul mate' according to Link'd Inc, he'd had the fleeting hope that at the very least they would be a dragon, since it certainly wasn't the person he had been hoping for. Papyrus could be a MudWing name, after all. He certainly wasn't expecting an human skeleton that appeared to be alive.]
I don't- I don't think I'd say I'm happy on the ship. I'd rather be home than here on the Moira, but I guess it's not...too bad, anymore.
I'm Starflight, by the way.

Oh.
Wow.
THIS is Starflight??
With a name like that he'd figured his unexpected date was going to be super cool, and he doesn't look disappointed in the slightest.
He seems a bit flustered. Dude still has energy but doesn't seem to know what to do with it anymore.]
Oh!! Of course! So you're the... nyeh-heh... well! I didn't think our first meeting would be like this, but that's all right! It can still be unforgettable!

[ Papyrus' enthusiasm about the situation was making Starflight nervous, and he kept shifting about awkwardly. ]
I don't- I mean, I'm not sure how accurate those tests are, though. I look forward to meeting you, anyway, since we're crewmembers and everything, but...um... [He fumbled, trying to figure out the best way to ask without being completely rude.]
What do you think about all this? The partner thing?

[He does look a touch embarrassed for a moment. This is pretty cool and all, but it's a lot to take in all at once. He just got here, and now he's supposed to take a dragon on a cool date?]
But worry not! I'll be sure to study up and make sure we have a very enjoyable time!
no subject
You really don't have to do that. I don't know how much they actually expect us to do together, but I don't want you to inconvenience yourself at all.

[ He made a mental note to follow-up with Elizabeth himself after this. If Papyrus did check out any books, Starflight would need to know what to expect. ]
