[It's either very late at night or very early in the morning. Papyrus grins at anyone watching as he usually does, but this time around, something's off. His usual cheer seems forced, and there's a subtle, constant background rattle and the screen never quite seems to stay still.]

Hello again, everyone! This is the great Papyrus speaking, and... and I...

...

[For a moment, he seems at a loss for words. Then he rallies again and holds up his other hand. He has Sans's jacket in a tight grip, and clinging to the inside is an odd, distinctive sort of dust.]

I seem to have lost track of my brother!! That lazybones... now he's managed to slack off on naps! Is there no end to this?

So! If anyone has any idea where he is, please let me know! He probably just... fell asleep somewhere weird! There seems to be a lot of that going around lately.

[He starts to switch off the feed, then hesitates.]

Also, could someone bring some cleaning supplies to Sans's room? There's so much dust in here... I've been trying to get it all up, but it's just... getting everywhere.

[For a moment, he looks distressed, then he pastes the smile back on.]

O-once again, this is the great Papyrus! Signing out!!

[Papyrus mostly listens, offering an enthusiastic 'bless you!' whenever Rick burps.]

But! Knowing Sans, he could have been collecting it across time and space. Usually his pranks aren't that elaborate, but maybe he got bored in the hold.

[DON'T BLESS HIM WHEN HE BURPS stop being so innocent and pure... it makes him uncomfortable.]

Doubt it.

[He takes another sip, and lets out another burp before addressing Papyrus again.]

A-are you even sure it's dust? It could be salt or sugar... or some other kind of dust if you catch my drift.

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

[He doesn't, but he thinks he does.]

L-let's not jump to conclusions, buddy! I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this.

[justabit]

Sounds to me like he got caught in a drug bust, broh.

I-I-I mean, suspicious dust left behind along with his jacket? Must've had to leave in a hurry 'cause the cops were on his ass.

[papyrus you SWEET SUMMER CHILD]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Oh no!

[He really does sound concerned, but after a brief pause...]

Wait a minute. That's not right! Sans is too lazy for crimes! And there are no police or guardsman here! Nyeh-heh-heh! Nice try, but your trickery won't work on me!

[justabit]

I wasn't tryin' to trick you but whatever helps you sleep at night.

[Just gonna take another swig of that alcoholic beverage.]

M-m-maybe he exploded or something, I dunno. [He's running out of ideas pretty quickly.]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

[Man, what is it with the people in his life hitting various sauces? Papyrus really doesn't get it. Wouldn't you guys get more out of a healthy jog or something?]

You're just being silly! But if you could keep an eye out for him, and tell him I'm looking for him, I'd appreciate it.
