So, here's the thing. I get that most of us don't want to be here.

[let's start by acknowledging that, alright? Emma doesn't want this. she's new, she's pissed, and all she wants is to get back home to her son. there's a role she's being forced into here that she'd like to totally ignore, but that's only going to make her life harder in the long run.

if playing along is what's going to get her home, then she's playing along - for now.]

It's apparently enough of an issue that I've been enlisted as a personnel retrieval officer. What that means for you is that if you're not where you need to be, I'll have to find you, and then I'll have to escort you to the right place. you can try getting out of it but I have almost too much experience in this sort of thing, and I always get my guy.

[it's being a bailbondsperson all over again. she may not want to do this, but she's perfectly capable of it.]

So show up for work, alright? This sucks enough on it's own without any of us making it worse.

[She is so cool. Papyrus has developed a tiny hero crush just from that 'I always get my guy' line. Seriously, that's like a movie line! So very, very cool.]

Wowie! Now that sounds like a difficult job! Best of luck to you; you're going to need it. But not for me; I love my job and do it all the time!

Like I said, it's nothing I haven't done before.

[And also, she's still learning what she's up against.]

That's... good, you're probably first one to tell me that.

[Sorry, at this point she doesn't know how to respond to someone being nice.]

[Get used to it, he's not good at being anything else.]

We're stuck in the midst of a lot of lazybones, you and I! But what sort of work did you do before coming here? It sounds very exciting!

[sheriffing]

I was a bailbondsperson, then a sheriff. Wasn't really your average town.

[If she puts it mildly.]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

A sheriff? You mean like a real sheriff, with a star and everything?

[Oh yeah, no doubt about it. She's super cool and he wants to be friends.]

[sheriffing]

Do you have fake sheriffs around here?

[With a star and everything.]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Not as far as I know! Wowie! It must be so exciting, fighting crimes and rounding up bad guys!

[His entire reference point here is almost definitely westerns. But still! A sheriff. She just gets cooler and cooler!]
