sooo what kind of powers do you guys have? were you born with them or get them in some freak incident or what?

[He pauses as he types out the text, considering if he should be honest about his intentions or not. It's not like he had any sinister plans or anything. It's just a matter of being private. But he doesn't want to sound too weird or shady. This sounds shady doesn't it??

He types and deletes a bunch of times, unhappy with most of the reasons he tries to give for asking the question. This one makes him sound too weak, this one makes him sound too ignorant, this one just makes him sound stupid. Eventually he settles for...well, nothing. He just gives up and hits send.]

[He wishes he could go into more detail, as much as he could to give more of an idea of what happened and what the thing looked like, but his memory is hazy from the events and his footage is long gone. It saddens him but he tries not to dwell on it too much.]

I know how to control it, yeah. [This is probably the one time he sounds confident. Of course his idea of control is "i can move this stuff perfectly and do X and Y". He'll completely forgo mentioning how he loses control of himself when he gets angry enough.] I haven't had it a long time but...I'm really strong with it.

Well hey, good for you. Takes most monsters a long time to get a handle on how to keep their magic in check. But I guess it's faster for some than others. [His brother, for example. Papyrus had some of the most strict magical control of any monster Sans knew -- maybe Andrew was the same, despite his humanity.]

Strong's one thing, but magic's good for more than just that. Have you ever tried getting something off a high shelf? Now that's satisfaction.

Yeah, I never have to use my arms again.

[Which he does anyway but he doesn't have to.]

Are monsters born with magic?

Yep. We kinda have to be, it's how we exist at all. [He weighs two imaginary forces in his hands.] Humans get water, monsters get magic. Y'see how that works?

Yeah, I think I get it. Without magic you die, right?

Got it in one, kid.

Can you...like, lose it?

Sure you can. We all gotta turn to dust sometime, kid. Nobody lives forever. [Sans takes a beat.] Well, some people do, but not skeletons.

[Andrew appears to think on that for a moment.]

It sounds less like water and more like blood, or something.

[In a really strange way Andrew would not have thought months from now, he relates to this. He may not die if he lost his power, but it felt as if it was that much part of him. Like an arm or a leg. Except he would probably feel like someone took both arms and legs if he ever lost his power.]

Scientifically, you'd be wrong on that one. Lemme tell ya, you'd die pretty dang fast if you lost all the water in you, pal.

But practically? Yeah, you get the concept. [Sans grins, leaning his cheekbone hard against his palm.]

Why so curious?

I don't know. I just want to know about all the powers and stuff people have. And I guess I just...thought maybe it can sort of help me understand my own?

I know we're all different but...[He trails off with a weak shrug.]

[If Sans looks like he's going to deride the kid, it's just a trick of a smile.]

I can get behind that. Safety in numbers, right?
