March 9: you know what they say about drinking and texting

[neveroutwrenched]

i have some questions. for you guys, the crew. us.

mostly about the ingress because i think its bullshit that no one has any idea how to fix it. or how it works. lots of worlds have technology like the ingress. on the greater cosmic scale, in the MULTIVERSE, it's not even all that rare

so

nowait

i mean, anyway. this is a different question. does anyone know why we haven't utilized
a) any of the ingresses (ingress...i?) on any of the planets weve landed on to get home
b) any of the people on those planet because you HAVE to assume someone knows how to work/repair/etcetc

why havent we scrutinized or been given an actual answer for anything that's happened on this ship? creepy skeleton monster? that KILLED PEOPLE. lying to us about caducus-primary. stealing from caducus-primary. dont get me started on the lack of actual consequence to that.

i know its different in everyone's worlds, but where I'm from, being in charge doesnt make you except from responsibility for your actions. or at least it's not supposed to. unless you have

a lot of money or are a celebrity or something

life's a lot easier when you don't ask questions.

[he's pretty sure that 'creepy skeleton monster that killed people' comment isn't about him but, well. it might as well be.]

i'll pour you a glass of the koolaid myself, pal.

[Even on the best of days it could sometimes be hard to parse Sans' blacker humor, figure out where the joke ends and the nihilism begins. Today Ratchet has to stare at the MID screen for a full forty seconds before replying.]

no.

[skelepun]

sure? it's cherry flavor.

[neveroutwrenched]

wow you really know how to tempt a guy

but still no.

[skelepun]

heh, worth a shot.

I guess the natural follow up is: do you have some sort of plan to do something about it? 'cuz, and i'm no expert in stealth, but it seems to me public frustration is a quick ticket to extra scrutiny.

not that I think our captains would do such a horrible thing.

[neveroutwrenched]

so what? whats the worst that could happen? time in the hold?

lets make it worth it and makes as many complaints as possible.


the power on this ship goes out too often

the colors of the walls are bad.

beds with roofs are an accident waiting to happen, speaking from personal experience.

no one literally ever wanted a tree that grows kittens

you can never get hot water out of the faucets between 23:00 and 00:00

groats are disgusting

why do we keep assigning people who don't know how to do things with jobs they dont know how to do?

the MID games are stupid but also addictive and i'm not sure i like that combo

i think i'm speaking for a lot of people here when i say the uniforms are annoyingly human-oriented



i could go on

noooo my htmlllll

[skelepun]

[Ratchet can't see him, but Sans' grin is even more genuine than usual.]

can i add one?

there's no auto-block for access to the network when the user is drunk off their ass.

actually, i take it back, that's not a complaint at all. that's a feature hehe.

[neveroutwrenched]

dont be a smart ass im not even that drunk im like


medium drunk

[skelepun]

yeah? wow. didn't know you could be medium anything, short stuff.

is there an occasion i'm missing here? 'cuz y'know, i never see you around the bar with the rest of us lushes.

[neveroutwrenched]

you know, people in glass

glass places. are um. nevermind, its. its a saying.


and the occasion is me, realising ive spent too much time on this ship completely, and painfully sober

why have i been doing that to myself this entire time? there has been a perfectly good bar here all along, im sure you know

[skelepun]

skeletons are known for their rock throwing abilities. don't hate.

and yeah, i do know. can't say i'm stoked to see my former fiance falling down that same hole, though. papyrus will be very disappointed.

and really, is there any worse fate?

[neveroutwrenched]

im not falling in a hole i just

i want to lay in it for a bit.


when did we break up? does papyrus know?? i hope i at least let you down easy.

[skelepun]

don't try to weasel your way back into my heart, big guy. i don't have one and you don't want me to start making weasel jokes aboutcha. sounds pretty offensive, and we hate that, right? hehe

n' okay. so now you're in the hole. what next?

[neveroutwrenched]

eh, i dunno im

i didn't get that far. i figured if i just, get really really really wasted i would. come up with something.

or at least feel better.

[skelepun]

[For all this exchange is on the sillier side of the spectrum, there's something uncomfortably familiar in Ratchet's words.]

that's a dangerous line of inquiry, ratch.

want me to come pet your ears and tell you drinking isn't the answer? i know i'm a hypocrite, but you made the unfortunate mistake of making me like you. that's on you, not me.

[neveroutwrenched]

no, i- maybe.

its. cant you just, pretend it is?


and it's not my fault youve got shit taste in peolre

[skelepun]

[Sans can't help chuckling thinly at Ratchet's choice of words. Talk about a stroll down memory lane.]

well if memory serves, that makes two of us.

but alright. i'll come by, we'll pretend for a while. where are you?

[neveroutwrenched]

i guess its good to have sfreinds your on the same page with


pretneding to not be drunk in the bar so they'll give me another drink where else

[skelepun]
