[Late in the afternoon, Papyrus once again appears on the network. He seems far more cheerful than the last time he did this, even if he's here with a similar message.]

Hello, friends! It is I, Papyrus, and once again I have a favor to ask of you! Has anyone seen my brother, Sans? He's a skeleton like myself, only shorter and not as handsome or impeccably dressed!

[He tilts his MID down at himself to make his point -- he's wearing his uniform, and it looks like he wrote BONE FRIEND on the chest in puff paint.]

Of course I'm not worried or anything, but if someone could tell me where he is, you'll have my gratitude! Which is the best reward! And perhaps I'll cook you a special batch of my famous spaghetti as extra thanks!

This is the great Papyrus, signing off!

This is probably a given, but you tried to call him and checked his room, right?

He's probably down on Amissis-Re, if I ventured a guess.

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

He's not in his room, nor is he in any of his known napping spots! Of course, his known napping spots include practically every place on the ship, so it's been a long search!

[Her suggestion is interesting. Sans's first trip down there turned out pretty badly, and he hadn't considered the possibility of him going back.]

It's been more than a day, so I don't think so, but... have you seen him on Amisses-Re?

I haven't seen him, but I'll look around! He's probably nappin' someplace, though.

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Oh, yes, I'm sure that's all this is! I just wish he'd remember to check his messages while he takes these ridiculous naps of his!

[First off, what a cute customization. Veeeery trendy, "bone friend." He'd compliment Papyrus on it later, but for now, there's the matter of his missing brother.]

I can't imagine he'd have any reason to hide himself away. Do you think he found himself a new partner to jump into that fascinating Ingress on Amissis-Re?

[After all, he was getting pretty attached to the thing himself! Why wouldn't someone else feel the same way?]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Mettaton, hello!

[Getting personal messages from a celebrity is still a bit of a thrill. He just can't help himself.]

I thought he was too lazy to do that, but maybe he visited someone else! Perhaps one of our crewmates came from a world of giant pillows and condiment bottles!

[The thought has him nyeh-heh-hehing to himself.]

private text.

[prayed]

[Her response is short, private, and not at all helpful.

It's more than anyone else would have gotten.]

I'll let you know if I see him.

private text.

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

[Papyrus doesn't know that, but he appreciates her help all the same.]

PLEASE DO! IT'D BE JUST LIKE HIM TO GET STUCK SOMEWHERE AND CHOOSE TO NAP INSTEAD OF EXTRICATING HIMSELF.

BEING BROTHERS WITH HIM IS A LOT OF WORK SOMETIMES!!

[inruins]

Sans is missing-? Goodness.

I'm sure we'll find him soon enough, dear. He probably fell asleep in a supply closet.

[video]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

I checked all of the likely places already! Now I suppose it's on to the unlikely and downright weird!

Do you have any ideas? You two have been hanging out quite a lot lately!

[Oh yes, he noticed. Remains to be seen if he noticed.]

[beautifulspaceraptor]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your sibling. Nothing down in the cargo area though.

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Curses! That would have been my next place to search!

At least tell me he stopped hiding bags of trash down there.

[rraidergirl]

[ Gettin' some heavy flashbacks here oh no... ]

I'll keep an eye out for him. Are you all right?

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Oh, yes, I'm doing very well, thank you!

[He's pretty confident Sans is alive this time, after all.]

And yourself?

Voice

[heart_breaking]

Before anyone asks, no, I'm not responsible for this.

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Of course not!

[Papyrus still believes that you're not that terrible of a person, and you can still make the choices to do better things with your time.

And at least subconsciously, he's aware that if you had, you wouldn't have been subtle this time either and he would have found the dust and jacket by now.]

But if you see him, will you send him my way?

[Frisk says nothing, but they sure are giving Chara a Look.]

[You know the one.]

[seeingscarlet]

[Alarm bells immediately start going off in Wanda's head. If Papyrus can't find him, something's really gone wrong.]

When was the last time you saw him?

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

About two days ago, I'd say! Which is strange, because he almost never misses storytime.

[neveroutwrenched]

[Ratchet hadn't noticed. A fact that very suddenly hits him, followed by immediate guilt. They hadn't been talking much over the past couple of weeks, so it wasn't strange...but Papyrus not seeing him? Ratchet didn't want to jump to conclusions, but he'd learned his lesson about not taking disappearances on this ship seriously.]

Has he gone down the planet at all?

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Oh, yes! He and I went down there just last week to visit Snowdin!

[And that's all he's saying about that.]

[Audio]

[tearmeanewone]

From the brief run around I just did, he isn't in the library. Though I doubt even he could be lost in here for two whole days...

If he doesn't show up in another twelve hours, will you let me know? It might be necessary for us to talk to our host to be certain nothing's gone wrong.

[Audio]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

You'd be surprised! But thank you for checking, and I'll let you know when I find him!

[ miles knows sans wouldn't just disappear on papyrus without a word, not like this. he's already got a sinking feeling in his stomach. dammit, if he starts getting ulcers again somehow and it's on sans's account, miles is handing him the medical bill. ]

I don't suppose he's just taking a really, really long nap somewhere. D'you remember the last time you saw him, Papyrus?

audio

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Two days ago! We visited our old home, then went our separate ways after. He didn't seem upset!

[Except he definitely had been, because they'd talked about some tough stuff in there. And left things unresolved as usual.]
