video | backdated to the third or so
[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.]

maybe if I didn't click 'ban user' I'd be getting somewhere... D:
It's nice to meet you too, Elsa. And yes, adjustment to life on this ship has been a completely different sort of puzzle, but I know we can do it!
What was your home like?
eh, it happens to all of us sometimes!
[ She's not so sure about adjustment to life on the ship as being a truly possible thing, but she's not great at that optimistic outlook. ]
My home? Oh, it was quite lovely. I lived in the kingdom of Arendelle, which was beautiful year round, though my favourite time of year has always been winter.
[ She smiles a little more fondly thinking about it, or rather her memories of the past, but they begin to sour quickly as they come closer to the present. Instead of letting herself go there, however, she turns her focus to Papyrus. ]
What was your home like?
no subject
Oh, I lived underground with all the other monsters before this! In Snowdin, to be precise. You might have liked it; it was winter all the time there!
no subject
[ He's so cheerful, it's hard not to feel a little more upbeat herself. Something in what he says clicks in the back of her mind though, and has Elsa pausing. ]
Wait, Snowdin, did you say? Are you perhaps related to the other skeleton on board? Sans?
no subject
Let me guess: He told you a lot of bad jokes and then took a nap or ate something gross.
[Just a typical day in Papyrus's life, honestly.]
