text; have u seen this bone

[skelepun]

[To say Sans hasn't been around recently is a massive understatement. Since his public dumping, he's been taking in the scenery of his bedroom relatively exclusively. Occasionally he would broaden his scope and investigate the inside of an empty bag of chips for extra crumbs, but that was only on good days.

More than anything, he slept. That was supposed to change today, at Papyrus's nagging, petulant insistence. They'd agreed to meet today in one of his little brother's patented snap out of it jogs around the ship. Sans had never looked forward to exercise quite so much.

When Papyrus didn't show and the MID directory listed his name wreathed in nervewracking red, that excitement turned quickly to gnawing, persistent denial.]

hey so. hope everyone's doing alright. heard a lot of babies crying through my door the last few weeks. lemme know if you need babysitters, i've been looking for a few more chairs around here.

anyway...

i was wondering if anyone's seen my bro, papyrus. he's a morale officer around here, you may have met him through that? if you haven't, here's a picture. it's kinda old, he sent it to me from his MID a few months back. still looks pretty much the same, but his uniform might have more puff paint on it now (he's the circled one).



just to get this out of the way now: yeah, we're skeletons. yeah, we're really alive. no, how we eat isn't that interesting.

it's no big deal if you haven't seen him, he a busy guy. but if you DO see him could you let him know his brother's looking for him. he knows where to find me.

is that the way to put it? drunken milk? drank milk? sometimes tenses slip away from me. anyway, slavers robbed me of my clothes, i made sad faces at the network, and your brother gave me some stylish shirts that i wore to the bar opening and was greatly admired by all

[okay, she's not actually being sarcastic, she was totally chuffed to wear a "COOL DUDE" puffpaint tank]

[skelepun]

oh man, that's right. you're gonna have to cut me some slack, i don't remember much about that night.

[For reasons that probably aren't the one he's implying.]

you should probably hold onto them for now. they'll just get something spilled on them over here.

just until he turns up, y'know?

[otiosity]

I remember less than I expected but more than I'd like.

[They played games. There was a fight? And she puked a lot. That's the short summary in her mind.]

Of course. I'll take good care of them. Hang them up and everything.

[skelepun]

heh, good. he'd be pissed if you didn't.

... but, y'know, not that pissed. he really likes ironing.

[There's a signifier that Sans is typing something, lasting for a good few minutes. In truth, he must have written and deleted his message about a dozen times, before leaving it and laying face down in his bed for a few long minutes.

When he does press send, the message is comparatively curt for how much time he spent on it.]

but yeah. lemme know if you see him.
