Canon is the Undertale AU: Underswap

You sure you've got the backbone for this? You know how things can get, although tibia honest with you, I'm kinda lookin' forward to...

...

Wait, what do you mean, I'm "homeless?" You didn't do anything to my house, did you?

...huh.

[ THAT'S new. ]

maybe i should lay off the sauce for a while.

[ Because holy moly, pal, if that didn't look suspiciously like his brother who took a page out of his own book of... comfortable anti-fashion, and delved through his comedic material while he was at it. ]

[Pay him no mind; he's just gonna stand here and silently stare because how in the world can a skeleton be moving and talking, all by itself?

He only breaks his silence to utter one word--]

Fascinating~

[Blink. Blink.]

...Sans?

[Papyrus stares for a long minute, then finally exhales the cloud of smoke he'd been unconsciously holding in. He examines his cigarette very carefully.]

Huh. Doesn't look like anyone tampered with these...

Bro. Did... did you actually take a chill pill?

[Moving, talking, and taking a drag off his cigarette. When he notices someone else is there, he exhales a noxious cloud and raises a...uh...eyebrow.]

Sorry, you say somethin'?

[There's a delighted little hum as he takes a few steps closer, ignoring the fact that he has to step through the foul smelling smog.]

For fear of sounding rather rude, how are you alive?

Bit of a personal question, isn't it? That sorta thing can spark some pretty lively conversations, and you might not get a chance for a breather.

Yes, I do suppose it is, but you do not have to answer! If you choose to, I promise you-- [A pause and he has pulled an urn from the confines of his robes, removed the lid and taken a bone-shaped cookie from it.

He raises the snack to his lips and snaps half of it off.]

I have all the time in the world~

[Papyrus puts his cigarette in his pocket (without lighting the fabric on fire, somehow) and crooks a finger, beckoning the man to come closer.]

Alright, you really wanna know?

[If they were visible, Papyrus would be able to see his eyes instantly light up, but alas - those shaggy bangs definitely do their job. He releases a giddy little giggle and shuffles forward until he's practically within whispering distance.]

Do indulge me~

[He looks around conspiratorially, as it making sure nobody's listening in on them. When the coast seems clear, Papyrus leans in close and puts a bony hand up as a kind of screen.]

You ready for this? The secret is...

...

...

...

...magic.

[Undertaker almost can't contain his excitement - the building anticipation seems to be too much, but he does his best to keep from bouncing on his toes while he leans closer.]

...

[There's a long pause, nose wrinkling in slight confusion.] Magic, you say?

Any certain type?

Just, uh, regular magic? We, uh, don't really have different kinds.

[Yeah, he's just gonna stand up relatively straight again and pull the smoke, still lit, from inside his sleeve and take a pull off it. He hadn't quite been expecting that reaction.]

hey pap.

[ Him? Take a chill? There's a disbelieving, half-hearted huff of an exhale that might have been a laugh. We'll call that a chuckle. Yeah, close enough. Any more chill and he'd be dead, bro. But let him have a look at this and consider what he knows so far.

He's run into a few variations of his brother, but this one's the most different by far. Makes a skeleton wonder what happened in that timeline. This one smokes.

That's kind of incredible. ]

nope. just same ol' me. guess you'd say the same about yourself, though.

"Same old?" Since when do you dress for comfort? Or ditch your post?

[He gives Sans a cautious poke in the sternum just to confirm that yes, he really is real.]

I thought for shirt you'd be there right now.

Well then~ That's slightly disappointing - I thought it might be something like necromancy!

[Undertaker is going to copy you and straighten up also, long sleeves falling over his hands, shoulders lifting in a shrug.] I am still quite impressed that a skeleton can move about like a common human~

Heh, well, you're dead wrong there. I'm just as alive as you are. I'd hate to spill my guts on this, but I just don't need all those squishy bits like you do.

And hey, maybe it's humans that move and talk like skeletons. You ever think of that?

That must be rather convenient - not having to worry about any internal organs that could possibly be crushed, maimed, destroyed ...

... you know, you aren't exactly wrong in that statement~ I mean, skeletons do reside within the skin, so who's to say they didn't have souls before they were covered with the flesh of another?

Nah, I've just got more than 200 bones to worry about being crushed, maimed, or destroyed.

Wait...are you saying that humans might just be some kinda flesh jacket for skeletons? That's sew gross, it's downright threadful.

Everybody has to worry about broken bones, unless they don't have any. I'm not sure how that would be possible though.

That's exactly what I'm saying! It would be an interesting theory to prove or debunk.

...

Yeah... you're on your own with that kind of research. I don't have the stomach for it.

But you don't have a stomach at all~ [Annnd cue the maniacal laughter.]

[Annnd cue the backing away slowly.]

Hey, I think I hear my brother yelling about something. I'll just...go and see what he wants.

[That catches his attention right away.

He straightens up from his hunched position, hands lifting to cup his cheeks and his feet shuffling him forward. Don't worry, Papyrus - he's harmless! ... for the most part.] A brother you say?
