 Wow, uh...

...I really don't know what you're trying to accomplish here. I just got done getting yanked from place to place by a human with too much power. Not really keen on going through it again. It wasn't a great time. 

[But Sans, think of all the sights you could see!]

I was never really interested in getting out to begin with, remember? I'd really kind of just like to be left to sleep for a month. New and exciting sights and experiences...that's more my brother's thing. He's cool that way. 

...but, look. If, uh, if he wants to go somewhere, I'm going with him. Of course I am. I'd get "bonely" without him. So if you insist on this, and if he wants to do it, and if you make sure he has a good time, I'll make sure you don't have a bad one.

Capiche? 

((ooc: This is technically a joint journal for Sans and Papyrus. I'm defaulting to Sans for now, but one, the other, or both brothers might appear as necessary or requested.))

Pies are the best. And also quiches.

[Papyrus shoots Sans a slightly helpless look over the top of Frisk's head. Sans, the human is sad! Why is the human sad? Help him making the human not be sad!]

SCHEDULES ARE WEIRD! BUT THEY ARE NOT SO BAD, IF YOU WORK HARD AT THEM! IF I DIDN'T HAVE A SCHEDULE, I WOULD NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO EVERYTHING I DO EVERYDAY! [Admittedly, it can still wind up a moot point because Undyne is not as into schedules as Papyrus is. Not to mention the lack of a day and night cycle. They adjust the best they can - for some people, Mettaton's programming is better than a clock.]

SANS DOES NOT NEED A SCHEDULE, BECAUSE ALL HE DOES IS SLEEP!

you know it. and hey, frisk...we miss you, too. [It isn't hard to admit. Frisk is their friend.]

and then my internet cut out for days ugh (i haven't actually had quiche)

[dustless]

[They nod a little, expecting Papyrus to at least feel it.]

Sleep's good sometimes. So are schedules. I think... You need to keep a balance between both of you.

[Frisk looks around and gives Sans a tiny smile. They don't want him--they don't want either of them to feel bad, but it's nice to know they're not being forgotten.]

No worries! If you ever want to thread something off of DM, let me know!

[skelebros]

hehe. don't worry about it, frisk. we balance each other out okay. [Actually, they balance one another damn near perfectly, though mostly courtesy of Papyrus' efforts to keep Sans on the level of "basically functional".

Papyrus, in turn, can't help but grumble a little:] I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO SLEEP.

oh, yeah? if you didn't sleep, how could you get a bedtime story?

[Papyrus...actually has no good answer for that one.

Sans smiles back up at the kid. He knows better than most that sometimes feeling bad is better than not feeling anything at all. Sometimes, you have to feel bad, because it's not right that you shouldn't feel anything.]

hey, papyrus, stop hogging frisk for a second.

OH. SORRY.

[Frisk will find themselves carefully set on their feet, which gives Sans the opportunity to move in and ruffle their eminently ruffle-able hair.]

\o/ LIFE IS BEING RUDE TO ME LATELY but made a thing* if you wanna toss em in there!

[dustless]

[They kinda figured that out, but they don't really know how to tackle that subject. And don't entirely want to right now.]

[The nod.] Still. For that kind of thing, work on it a tiny bit more. Sleep can be nice. Especially if you can get a lot of blankets and hide in them. Too much can make you feel worse, though.

[They make a funny squeak at the tough, but immediately lean into it. It's a little rougher than when Toriel did it, but it's still nice.]

[Almost reflexively, they reach over and brush their fingers over the top of Sans' skull.]
