[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Who: Papyrus, Sans, and YOU!
When: March 12th and onwards
Where: Medbay
What: Papyrus had a really bad idea that nearly got himself and Sans killed. Sans put out a call for help. This log is for the general followup/aftermath.
Warnings: Broken bones and hearts, cracked skulls, life draining, will add more if necessary.

((OOC Note: The translator event will affect the skeletons, so anyone tagging in on the 13th will be in for a lively game of charades!))

"Of course I knew that!" Equally childish. No wonder he and his roommate got along so well. "But I meant, how long have you been here specifically to visit me? Not that it isn't very sweet of you," he adds, grinning cheerfully back at him.

Papyrus pretends to consider and then dismiss the idea. "Have you ever tried pulling duct tape off bone? It's almost as bad as pulling it off skin! Trust me on this, I have experience in the matter."

He was the little brother of a prankster, after all.

"Well..." Papyrus isn't the sort to dwell on the negatives, and even now he seems hesitant. But he prides himself on his honesty, and it is slightly easier to tell the story now that he's already shared it with Ratchet.

He looks down, plucking at the blanket as he speaks. "Truthfully, yes, I've sustained much worse injuries than this one! It's just that this is the worst one I've actually... lived through."

It takes him a moment to understand what Tobias is getting at, but once he does, he shakes his head. "We monsters have lots of very cool, powerful magic, but it has its limits. Once we've fallen down, our souls shatter, and that's all there is. Even our strongest bosses could only hold on for a moment or two more..." He's never seen a boss die, but everyone understands it to be true.

"Finding out we could come back was certainly a surprise."

"Isn't it the technology?" Papyrus hadn't really stopped to think about it specifically before, but Tobi brings up a good point. He just assumed that with tech advanced enough for sustained space travel, somewhere along the way they invented resurrection as well.

"I mean, there's nothing like this where I'm from. Once you're dust, you're dust."
