(It's a tough-looking branch.)
(It's too heavy to pick up.)
(It's been smashed like it was nothing...)
Human.
Don't you know how to greet a new pal?
Turn around and shake my hand.
heheh... the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick.
it's ALWAYS funny.
anyways, you're a human, right?
that's hilarious.
i'm sans.
sans the skeleton.
im actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now.
but... y'know...
i dont really care about capturing anybody.
now my brother, papyrus...
he's a human-hunting FANATIC.
hey, actually, I think that's him over there.
i have an idea. go through this gate thingy.
yeah, go right through. my bro made the bars too wide to stop anyone.
sup, bro?
You know what "sup", brother!
It's been eight days and you still haven't...
Recalibrated. Your. Puzzles!
You just hang around outside your station!
What are you even doing?!?
staring at this lamp. it's really cool. do you wanna look?
Sans!!!
come on. you're smiling.
I AM AND I HATE IT!
SIGH...
WHY DOES SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME...
HAVE TO DO SO MUCH JUST TO GET SOME RECOGNITION...
wow, sounds like you're really working yourself...
down to the bone. [rimshot]
UGH!!!
I WILL ATTEND TO MY PUZZLES...
AS FOR YOUR WORK?
PUT A LITTLE MORE,
"backbone" into it!!!!
NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!
what's the holdup? look, there's nothin to be afraid of.
it's just a dark cavern filled with skeletons and horrible monsters.
actually, hey...
hate to bother ya, but can you do me a favor?
i was thinking... my brother's been kind of down lately...
he's never seen a human before. and seeing you might just make his day.
don't worry, he's not dangerous.
even if he tries to be.
thanks a million. i'll be up ahead.
So, as I was saying about Undyne,
[!]
Sans!! Oh my god!! Is that...
A HUMAN!?!?!??!?!
uhhhh...
actually, i think that's a rock.
OH.
hey, what's that in front of the rock?
OH MY GOD!!!
(IS... IS THAT A HUMAN)
(yes)
OH MY GOD!!!
SANS! I FINALLY DID IT!!
UNDYNE WILL...
I'M GONNA...
I'LL BE SO...
POPULAR!!! POPULAR!!! POPULAR!!!
...*AHEM*
Human! You shall not pass this area!
I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL STOP YOU!!!
I WILL THEN CAPTURE YOU!
YOU WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CAPITAL!
THEN... THEN!!!
I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT.
IN ANY CASE!
CONTINUE... ONLY IF YOU DARE!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!
well, that went well.
don't sweat it, kid.
i'll keep an eyesocket out for ya.
hey, here's something important to remember.
my brother has a very special attack.
if you see a blue attack, don't move and it won't hurt you.
here's an easy way to keep it in mind.
imagine a stop sign. when you see a stop sign, you stop, right?
stop signs are red.
so imagine a blue stop sign instead.
simple, right? when fighting, think about blue stop signs.
You're so lazy!!!
You were napping all night!!!
i think that's called...
sleeping.
EXCUSES, EXCUSES!
REALLY THOUGH!!! THAT HUMAN!!!
DO I KNOW THAT PERSON???
do you not know...
who you know?
PBPBPPBPT!!
OF COURSE I KNOW WHO I KNOW!!
I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU KNOW...
I KNOW WHO I KNOW AS MUCH AS I KNOW I KNOW WHO I KNOW!
...YOU KNOW?
OH-HO! SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!
IN ORDER TO STOP YOU...
MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES!
I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE...
QUITE SHOCKING!
FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS THE INVISIBLE...
ELECTRICITY MAZE
WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WALLS OF THIS MAZE,
this orb will administer a hearty zap!
SOUND LIKE FUN???
BECAUSE!
THE AMOUNT OF FUN YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE,
IS ACTUALLY RATHER SMALL I THINK.
OK, YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW.
[Zap!]
SANS!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!
i think the human has to hold the orb.
OH, OKAY.
Incredible!! You slippery snail!!
YOU SOLVED IT SO EASILY... TOO EASILY!
HOWEVER!
THE NEXT PUZZLE WILL NOT BE EASY!
IT IS DESIGNED BY MY BROTHER, SANS!
YOU WILL SURELY BE CONFOUNDED!
I KNOW I AM!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH!!
hey, thanks...
my brother seems like he's having fun.
by the way, did you see that weird outfit he's wearing?
we made that a few weeks ago for a costume party.
he hasn't worn anything else since...
keeps calling it his "battle body."
man...
isn't my brother cool?
hey.
is your refrigerator running?
(Yes)
nice. i'll be over to deposit the brewskis.
(No)
ok, i'll send someone over to fix it.
thanks for letting me know.
good communication is important.
Human!!! I hope you're ready for...
Sans!! Where's the puzzle!!!
it's right there. on the ground.
trust me. there's no way they can get past this one.
Sans!!! That didn't do anything!
whoops.
i knew i should have used today's crossword instead.
WHAT!? CROSSWORD!?
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT!!
IN MY OPINION...
JUNIOR JUMBLE IS EASILY THE HARDEST.
what? really, dude? that easy-peasy word scramble?
that's for baby bones.
UN. BELIEVABLE.
HUMAN!!! SOLVE THIS DISPUTE!
papyrus...
...finds difficulty in interesting places.
yesterday he got stumped trying to "solve" the horoscope.
thanks for saying "junior jumble" just to appease my brother.
yesterday he got stumped trying to "solve" the horoscope.
wow, that's a lot of cash.
that's why i'm sorry to say...
i can't sell you this fried snow.
it's got too much sentimental value.
My brother started a sock collection recently.
HOW SADDENING...
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT HE WOULD DO...
WITHOUT SUCH A COOL GUY TAKING CARE OF HIM???
NYEH HEH HEH!
Human!
HMMM... HOW DO I SAY THIS...
YOU WERE TAKING A LONG TIME TO ARRIVE, SO...
I DECIDED TO IMPROVE THIS PUZZLE...
BY ARRANGING THE SNOW TO LOOK MORE LIKE MY FACE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE SNOW FROZE TO THE GROUND.
NOW THE SOLUTION IS DIFFERENT!
AND, AS USUAL, MY LAZY BROTHER IS NOWHERE AROUND.
I SUPPOSE WHAT I AM SAYING IS...
WORRY NOT, HUMAN!
I, the great Papyrus, will solve this conundrum!
Then we can both proceed!
MEANWHILE, FEEL FREE TO TRY THE PUZZLE YOURSELF.
I'LL TRY NOT TO GIVE AWAY THE ANSWER!!!
good job on solving it so quickly.
you didn't even need my help.
which is great, 'cause i love doing absolutely nothing.
hey, why didn't you ask for help?
i was right here.
...you must be really good at puzzles, huh?
it's impossible for you to have seen this one before.
actually, that spaghetti from earlier...
it wasn't too bad for my brother.
since he started cooking lessons, he's been improving a lot.
i bet if he keeps it up, next year he'll even make something edible.
(It's a snow Papyrus.)
(It's a lump of snow with the word 'sans' written on it in red marker.)
what's up?
[next] say...
are you following me?
[later]are you lost?
[finally] you sure do like to exercise.
Human!
THIS IS YOUR FINAL AND MOST DANGEROUS CHALLENGE!
BEHOLD! THE GAUNTLET OF DEADLY TERROR!
When I say the word, it will fully activate!
Cannons will fire! Spikes will swing! Blades will slice!
Each part will swing violently up and down!
Only the tiniest chance of victory will remain!!!
Are you ready?
Because!
I!
Am!
About!
To do it!
well? what's the holdup?
Holdup!? What holdup!?
I'm... I'm about to activate it now!
that, uh, doesn't look very activated.
WELL!!!
THIS CHALLENGE!!!
IT SEEMS...
MAYBE... TOO EASY TO DEFEAT THE HUMAN WITH.
YEAH! WE CAN'T USE THIS ONE!!!
I AM A SKELETON WITH STANDARDS!!!
MY PUZZLES ARE VERY FAIR!
AND MY TRAPS ARE EXPERTLY COOKED!
BUT THIS METHOD IS TOO DIRECT! NO CLASS AT ALL!
AWAY IT GOES!
PHEW!
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
THIS WAS ANOTHER DECISIVE VICTORY FOR PAPYRUS!!
NYEH!!
HEH!!
...HEH???
i don't know what my brother's going to do now.
if i were you, i would make sure i understand blue attacks.
here's some advice about fighting my brother.
don't. [dead eyes] capiche?
You want to know what to do here in Snowdin?
Grillby's has food, and the library has information...
If you're tired, you can take a nap at the inn.
It's right next door - my sister runs it.
And if you're bored, you can sit outside and watch those wacky skeletons do their thing.
There's two of 'em... Brothers, I think. They just showed up one day and... asserted themselves.
The town has gotten a lot more interesting since then.
* Papyrus remembered a bad joke Sans told and is frowning.
hey, i really respect what you did back there.
thanks.
what? haven't you seen a guy with two jobs before?
fortunately, two jobs means twice as many legally-required breaks.
i'm going to grillby's. wanna come?
(Yeah)
well, if you insist... i'll pry myself away from my work...
over here. i know a shortcut.
fast shortcut, huh?
hey, everyone.
[Dogamy] Hey, Sans.
[Dogaressa] (Hi, Sans.)
[Plant] Greetings, Sans.
[Rabbit] Hiya, Sansy~
[Fish] Hey Sans, weren't you just here for breakfast a few minutes ago?
nah, i haven't had breakfast in at least half an hour.
you must be thinking of brunch.
[rimshot, crowd laughter]
here, get comfy.
whoops, watch where you sit down.
sometimes weirdos put whoopee cushions on the seats.
anyway, let's order.
whaddya want...?
(Burger)
hey, that sounds pretty good.
grillby, we'll have a double order of burg.
so, what do you think... of my brother?
(Uncool)
hey, pal.
sarcasm isn't funny, okay?
my brother's a real star.
he's the person who pushed me to get this sentry job.
maybe it's a little strange, but sometimes...
...it's nice to have someone call you out on being lazy.
even though nothing could be further from the truth.
here comes the grub.
want some ketchup?
(Yes)
bone appetit.
(You tip the ketchup...)
(The cap falls off and all the ketchup in the bottle pours onto your food.)
whoops.
eh, forgetddaboudit. you can have mine.
i'm not hungry anyway.
anyway, cool or not, you have to agree papyrus tries real hard.
like how he keeps trying to be part of the royal guard.
one day, he went to the house of the head of the royal guard...
and begged her to let him be in it.
of course, she shut the door on him because it was midnight.
but the next day, she woke up and saw him still waiting there.
seeing his dedication, she decided to give him warrior training.
it's, uh, still a work in progress.
...
oh yeah, I wanted to ask you something.
have you ever heard of a talking flower?
(Yes)
so you know all about it.
the echo flower.
they're all over the marsh.
say something to them, and they'll repeat it over and over...
what about it?
well, papyrus told me something interesting the other day.
sometimes, when no one else is around...
a flower appears and whispers things to him.
flattery... advice... encouragement...
...predictions.
weird, huh?
someone must be using an echo flower to play a trick on him.
keep an eye out, ok?
thanks.
welp, that was a long break.
i can't believe i let ya pull me away from work for that long.
oh, by the way...
i'm flat broke. can you foot the bill?
it's just 10000G.
just kidding.
grillby, put it on my tab.
by the way...
...i was going to say something, but i forgot.
[Bird] Sans is a sentry. But don't let his title make you think he does anything. Everyone knows he sits around in the forest reading car magazines.
[Fish] Sans is the most regular regular of them all. He hasn't been showing up as much recently, though.
[Doggo] Huh? Since when did you and Sans become friends...? I don't like him... He loves to appear without moving.
[Dogamy] I was hoping Sans came in to give me a pat on the head. Interloper...!
[Dogaressa] (I like Sans. Sometimes he feeds us scraps of food under the table. Then his brother gets mad... But why!? We're adults! We can handle it!)
[Plant] Sans is interesting. He has told me about all kinds of incredible foods. But, despite his knowledge, he always orders the worst burger off the menu.
[Rabbit] Sansyyyy... Come back and sit with me... Everything's so fun when you're around!
(Half of the fridge is filled with containers all labelled "spaghetti.")
(The other half contains nothing but an empty bag of chips.)
My brother always goes out to eat. But...
RECENTLY, HE TRIED "BAKING" SOMETHING.
IT WAS LIKE... A QUICHE.
BUT FILLED WITH A SUGARY, NON-EGG SUBSTANCE.
HOW ABSURD!
(There's an empty pie tin inside the stove.)
What? My brother's actually at his station?
What? I thought he only had three stations.
No, he has... at least four?
Who the heck keeps hiring this guy!?
hey buddy, what's up? wanna buy a hot dog?
it's only 30G.
here. have fun.
you're holding too much. ... guess i'll just put it on your head.
here's another hot dog.
it's on the house. well, no. it's on you.
i'll be 'frank' with you.
as much as i like putting hot dogs on your head...
thirty is just an excessive number.
twenty-nine, now that's fine, but thirty...
does it look like my arms can reach that high?
sorry, thirty is the limit on head-dogs.
thanks, kid. here's your hot dog.
thanks, kid. here's your 'dog.
yeah. 'dog. apostrophe-dog. it's short for hot-dog.
another h'dog? here you go...
whoops, i'm actually out of hot dogs.
here, you can have a hot cat instead.
another dog, coming right up...
...you really like hot animals, don't you?
hey, i'm not judging.
i'd be out of a job without folks like you.
cool. here's that ''dog.
apostrophe-apostrophe dog.
it's short for apostrophe-dog.
which is, in turn, short for...
another one? okay.
careful. if you eat too many hot dogs...
you'll probably get huge like me.
huge as in super- popular, i mean.
i'm practically a hot-dog tycoon now.
whoops, you don't have enough cash.
you should get a job. i've heard being a sentry pays well.
yeah, you've gotta save your money for college and spiders.
hey. i heard you're going to the core.
how about grabbing some dinner with me first?
(Yeah)
great, thanks for treating me.
over here. i know a shortcut.
well, here we are.
so.
your journey's almost over, huh?
you must really wanna go home.
hey. i know the feeling, buddo.
though...
maybe sometimes it's better to take what's given to you.
down here you've already got food, drink, friends...
is what you have to do...
really worth it?
...
ah, forget it.
i'm rootin for ya, kid.
hey.
let me tell you a story.
so i'm a sentry in snowdin forest, right?
i sit out there and watch for humans. it's kind of boring.
fortunately, deep in the forest...
there's this HUGE locked door.
and it's perfect for practicing knock knock jokes.
so one day, i'm knocking 'em out, like usual.
i knock on the door and say, "knock knock."
and suddenly, from the other side...
i hear a woman's voice.
"who is there?"
so naturally i respond:
"dishes."
"dishes who?"
"dishes a very bad joke."
then she just howls in laughter.
like it's the best joke she's heard in a hundred years.
so i keep 'em coming. and she keeps laughing.
she's the best audience i've ever had.
then, after a dozen of 'em, SHE knocks and says...
"knock knock!"
i say "whos there?"
"old lady."
"old lady who?"
"oh! I did not know you could yodel!"
wow.
needless to say, this woman was extremely good.
we kept telling each other jokes for hours.
eventually, i had to leave.
papyrus gets kind of cranky without his bedtime story.
but she told me to come back again, and so i did.
then i did again. and again. it's a thing now.
telling bad jokes through the door.
it rules.
...
one day, though, i noticed she wasn't laughing very much.
i asked her what was up.
then she told me something strange.
"if a human ever comes through this door..."
"could you please, please promise me something?"
"watch over them, and protect them, will you not?"
now, i hate making promises.
and this woman, i don't even know her name.
but...
someone who sincerely likes bad jokes...
has an integrity you can't say "no" to.
(silence)
do you get what i'm saying?
that promise i made to her...
you know what would have happened if she hadn't said anything?
...buddy.
... You'd be dead where you stand.
...
hey, lighten up, bucko!
i'm just joking with you.
besides...
haven't i done a great job protecting you?
i mean, look at yourself.
you haven't died a single time.
that's right, isn't it?
well, chalk it up to my great skills.
heh. [he gets up]
well, that's all.
take care of yourself, kid.
'cause someone really cares about you.
(It's a performance schedule.) (Comedians, dancers, Sans...) (Seems there's a break now.)
HMMMM... THE STRANGE DOOR IN THE WOODS.
ACTUALLY, MY BROTHER SPENDS A LOT OF TIME HERE.
WHAT'S HE DOING...?
I'VE GOT TO KEEP HIM ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW!!!
ARE YOU STILL AROUND THAT DOOR?
OH NO!!! MY BROTHER'S A BAD INFLUENCE!!!
THIS IS WHERE MY BROTHER IS SUPPOSED TO PATROL...
BUT, EVERY TIME I SHOW UP, HE'S SLACKING OFF.
IT'S A GOOD THING I SPOTTED YOU FIRST!
I'M SURE HE WOULD HAVE MADE A WEIRD FIRST IMPRESSION.
IF HE'S NOT AROUND, HE WON'T COME BACK...
THAT'S JUST THE WAY HE FUNCTIONS.
NYEH HEH HEH!! IMPRESSED!?!
NOT ONLY AM I GREAT AT PUZZLES...
BUT I'M ALSO AN ESTEEMED ARCHITECT!!!
MY BROTHER HELPED ME FIND THE BOX!
WE WERE GETTING BORED WAITING FOR YOU...
SO I BUILT A SNOW-PAPYRUS!
AND SANS... DID HIS THING.
ACTUALLY, IT'S ONE OF HIS BETTER LUMPS.
I ALWAYS JUMP OVER THE GAP INSTEAD OF SOLVING THE PUZZLE.
SANS NEVER SOLVES IT EITHER.
HE ALWAYS JUST... UM...
GETS ACROSS.
I THINK HE HAS A SHORTCUT OR SOMETHING.
Hey, I always stay there when I come to Snowdin!
I used to stay at Papyrus's, but...
His couch is like, lumpy and jangly?
And his brother kept making 100's of midnight snacks.
And Papyrus himself doesn't??? Know how to sleep?
Yeah, just sleep here.
GRILLBY'S... IT'S DARK AND FULL OF GREASE.
PURGATORY OF FRIES... HAMBURGER ABYSS...
ANYWAY, MY BROTHER PRACTICALLY LIVES HERE.
I'M NOT COMING TO GRILLBY'S.
GRILLBY'S? WE'RE TOO REFINED FOR THAT GREASEHOLE.
WOAH, if you go, you HAVE to try the cheese fries.
They're AMAZINGLY bad for you!!
Oh, sorry, Papyrus, were you saying something?
JUST MONOLOGUING ABOUT MY LOVE FOR GREASE!!!
OUR FEELINGS FOR GREASE RUN DEEP LIKE A RIVER.
Grease, I...
I... ...
I want you in all my food!!!
YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE. GOOD CHOICE!
THOUGH I GUESS IT'S TECHNICALLY SANS'S HOUSE TOO.
BUT I PREFER NOT TO DISCUSS HIS PART OF IT.
HIS ROOM IS... IT'S LIKE ANOTHER WORLD!
A WORLD WHERE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO VACUUM.
YOU'RE BEST STAYING AWAY FROM THAT STRANGE PLACE.
This is Papyrus's brother's station.
I'm always catching him slacking off, or sleeping...
But his results are JUST good enough to not fire him.
Well, except today.
He didn't tell me ANYTHING about you.
JUST scraping by the bare minimum every time...
I guess it's kind of impressive...?
HUH? MY BROTHER? OF COURSE HE HAS A TELESCOPE.
SANS LOVES OUTER SPACEY SCI-FI STUFF.
HMM? HE NEVER TOLD YOU??
YEAH, SANS NEVER TELLS ANYBODY ANYTHING!
HUH? SANS ISN'T PLAYING WITH HIS TELESCOPE?
WOWIE!!! MAYBE HE WENT TO WORK!!!
WOW!!! AM I ALLOWED TO BE PROUD???
ICE CREAM? THANKS, BUT I LIVE IN SNOWDIN!
THERE'S ICE CREAM ALL OVER THE GROUND!!!
that's called snow.
SANS!!! I DIDN'T ASK YOUR OPINION!!
I'M FLATTERED HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO GIVE ME ICE CREAM.
me too.
NO YOU AREN'T!!
I KNOW WHY YOU CALLED ME.
I ALWAYS MAKE PEOPLE FEEL BETTER...
WHEN THEY'RE DOWN IN THE DUMPS!!!
...
I'VE SPENT TOO LONG WITH MY BROTHER TODAY.
FORGET I SAID THAT.
THESE SNAILS ARE JUST LIKE MY BROTHER.
ROUND, SLOW...
AND CONSTANTLY EMITTING SLIME???
EMITTING SLIME... THAT'S JUST WHAT BROTHERS DO.
ATTENTION EVERYONE! I AM GOING TO OPEN THE FRIDGE!
Do you have a monologue for EVERYTHING?
OH!!! YOU'RE IN HOTLAND NOW!!!
...HEY SANS, AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE THERE?
don't worry. i am.
PHEW!
FINALLY, SANS IS DOING HIS JOB.
I can't believe Papyrus's brother was sleeping!!
I was counting on him to stop you!! UrrrrgHHHH!!!
HE'S GOTTEN REALLY OUT OF SHAPE. HE TIRES EASILY.
LATELY HE'S BEEN NAPPING OVER 7 HOURS A NIGHT...
HE'S NAPPING HIMSELF INTO AN EARLY GRAVE!!
I agree!! Your brother needs to...!
...wait, isn't that just called sleeping?
UNDYNE!! NO!!! NOT YOU TOO!!!
Wait. Papyrus... When do YOU sleep?
I'M USUALLY TOO BUSY TO SLEEP. WHY???
Well, I was just thinking...
If you're not using that cool car bed, can I have it!?
A LAB??? MY BROTHER WOULD LOVE THAT!
HE LOVES SCIENCE FICTION!!
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S REAL.
DID YOU TELL HIM?
HMMM... A MYSTERIOUS SCIENCE HOUSE.
the sign outside says "lab."
LAB?
like... laboratory.
LABRADOR... Y?
DOES THAT MEAN THERE ARE DOGS INSIDE?
i mean.
i wouldn't rule it out.
STRANGE DOG'S HOUSE...
OH NO! THE PUZZLES REACTIVATING...
CAUSED THOSE PEOPLE TO MISS THEIR WORK!?
yep.
that's why i'm missing work, too.
OH MY GOD!!! SANS, GO DO YOUR JOB(S)!!!
GLAD, I DON'T LIVE IN HOTLAND.
me too.
THEN WHY ARE YOU SKIPPING WORK!?!
WHAT? MY BROTHER'S ACTUALLY AT HIS STATION?
BUT SOMEHOW, HE'S SELLING HOTDOGS INSTEAD?
SLACKING OFF BY DOING WORK...
TRULY MY BROTHER IS A MASTER.
NO FURTHER COMMENT.
Where are all these tables coming from?
MAYBE THEY BELONG TO THE MOUSE.
What would a mouse need a table for?
TO PUT THE CHEESE ON.
But where's the cheese come from!?
doesn't it come from milk?
OH MY GOD!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!
WAIT, DOES IT COME FROM MILK??
WAIT, UNDYNE. IF THE R STANDS FOR RED...
WHAT COLOR DOES THE L STAND FOR?
Uhhhh...
Light green.
OH! OF COURSE!
WAIT. ISN'T THAT TWO WORDS?
light sea green.
THREE DOESN'T FIX THE ISSUE!
light sea foam green.
AREN'T YOU WORKING IN THE VERY NEXT ROOM!?
THE ELEVATOR SAYS L3.
BUT WHAT DOES THE L STAND FOR? LUMACONI?
THAT'S THE SNAIL-SHAPED PASTA!
SANS BOUGHT SOME RECENTLY.
HE'LL PROBABLY FILL THEM WITH HOTDOGS AND SLIME.
HEY!! MAYBE HE'LL SHARE SOME WITH YOU!
Papyrus, how can you stand this cold?
I HAVE NO SKIN.
So why don't we stand in Grillby's instead?
BECAUSE I HATE GREASE.
But you don't have a stomach!!
NO, BUT I HAVE STANDARDS!!!
Papyrus...
Why do you live in an icy wasteland?
THE RENT'S CHEAP.
Really? Don't you live in a huge house?
YEAH, BUT MY BROTHER PAYS FOR IT.
Where's your brother get the money to pay for it...?
OH, THAT'S SIMPLE.
IT'S A MYSTERY.
So you finally made it.
The end of your journey is at hand.
In a few moments, you will meet the king.
Together...
You will determine the future of this world.
That's then.
Now.
You will be judged.
You will be judged for your every action.
You will be judged for every EXP you've earned.
What's EXP?
It's an acronym.
It stands for "execution points."
A way of quantifying the pain you have inflicted on others.
When you kill someone, your EXP increases.
When you have enough EXP, your LOVE increases.
LOVE, too, is an acronym.
It stands for "Level of Violence."
A way of measuring someone's capacity to hurt.
The more you kill, the easier it becomes to distance yourself.
The more you distance yourself, the less you will hurt.
The more easily you can bring yourself to hurt others.
So you finally made it...
Now, you understand.
It's time to begin your judgment.
Look inside yourself.
Have you really done the right thing?
And, considering what you've done...
What will you do now?
Take a moment to think about this.
...but you. you never gained any LOVE.
'course, that doesn't mean you're completely innocent or naive.
just that you kept a certain tenderness in your heart.
no matter the struggles or hardships you faced...
you strived to do the right thing.
you refused to hurt anyone.
even when you ran away, you did it with a smile.
you never gained LOVE, but you gained love.
does that make sense?
maybe not.
...now.
you're about to face the greatest challenge of your entire journey.
your actions here...
will determine the fate of the entire world.
if you refuse to fight...
asgore will take your soul and destroy humanity.
but if you kill asgore and go home...
monsters will remain trapped underground.
what will you do?
well, if i were you, i would have thrown in the towel by now.
but you didn't get this far by giving up, did you?
that's right.
you have something called "determination."
so as long as you hold on...
so as long as you do what's in your heart...
i believe you can do the right thing.
alright.
we're all counting on you, kid.
good luck.
wait a second.
that look on your face while i was talking...
you've already heard my spiel, haven't you?
i suspected something like this.
you're always acting like you know what's going to happen.
like you've seen it all before.
so... i have a request for you.
i kind of have a secret codeword that only i know.
so i know if someone tells it to me...
they'll have to be a time traveller.
crazy, right?
anyway, here it is...
(whisper, whisper)
i'm counting on you to come back here and tell me that.
see you later.
huh? do you have something to say to me?
what? a codeword? can you speak a little louder?
did you...
...just say "i'm a stupid doodoo butt?"
wow. i can't believe you would say that.
not only is that completely infantile...
but it's also my secret codeword.
that, however, isn't good enough.
what you need is the secret secret codeword.
it's only for people that know the secret codeword.
anyway, here it is...
(whimsper, whimsper)...
i'm counting on you to come back here and tell me that.
see you later.
did you...
...just say "i'm the legendary fartmaster?"
wow.
that's... uh... really childish.
why would you think that was a secret secret codeword?
whoever told you that is a dirty liar.
i don't have a secret secret codeword.
however.
i do have a secret secret triple-secret codeword.
which you just said.
so, i guess you're qualified.
here's the key to my room.
it's time...
you learned the truth.
(When you looked, the key was already on your keychain.)
huh? triple secret codeword?
nah, i'm out of material.
(You felt something on your keychain.)
Hey, Sans, have you seen my...
OH, HELLO. YOU AREN'T SANS.
WAIT A SECOND.
WHY WERE YOU USING A TREADMILL IN THE DARK?
IS SANS PRANKING YOU ACROSS TIME AND SPACE?
I HATE IT WHEN HE DOES THAT!
HOW IMMATURE CAN YOU GET?
ALSO, HAVE YOU SEEN MY ACTION FIGURES?
WAIT! I KNOW WHERE TO LOOK!
IN MY COLLECTION! NYEH HEH HEH!!!
SOMETIMES, I'M A GENIUS. ALL THE TIME.
(It's a treadmill.)
(There's a message attached.)
"the truth is that you got owned, nerd......"
(It's Sans's dirty sock pile.)
(Sc... scandalous...?)
(It's a worn mattress.)
(The sheets are bunched up in a weird, creasy ball.)
(It's an uncovered pillow.)
(It's a thank-you letter.)
(It's addressed to Santa.)
(Turn it on?)
(Yes)
(There's no lightbulb. A flashlight is stuck in the bulb socket.)
(Turn it on?)
(Yes)
(The flashlight is out of batteries.)
(There's a photo album inside the drawer.)
(There are photos of Sans with a lot of people you don't recognize.)
(... and, one photo of you standing with Sans and all your friends.)
(He looks happy.)
(You look in the drawer.)
(There's some kind of badge.)
(Blueprints.)
(You can't read the symbols they're written in...)
(...or maybe it's just the handwriting.)
(Looks like they related to some kind of strange machine.)
(There's a strange machine behind the curtain.)
(It seems to be broken.)
So.
Did you start the Flowey Fan Club?
Ha. I'm just kidding.
I was watching. I know you didn't.
But I don't care. Really.
He probably would have invited his garbage brother.
You know. Smiley trashbag.
...
Say.
If I have ONE piece of advice for you...
DON'T.
Let his brother.
Find out ANYTHING about you.
He'll... well...
Let's just say.
He's caused me more than my fair share of resets.
Stay away from that guy.
hey guys... what's up?
That voice ...!!
Hello, I think we may...
Know each other?
oh hey... i recognize your voice, too.
I am TORIEL.
So nice to meet you.
the name's sans.
and, uh, same.
Oh! Wait, then...!
This must be your brother, Papyrus!
Greetings, Papyrus! It is so nice to finally meet you!
Your brother has told me so much about you.
WOWIE...
I CAN'T BELIEVE ASGORE'S CLONE KNOWS WHO I AM!!!
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!
Hey, Papyrus...
What does a skeleton tile his roof with?
HMMM... SNOW-PROOF ROOF TILES???
No, silly! A skeleton tiles his roof with...
SHIN-gles!!!
I CHANGED MY MIND!!!
THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!
just give up. i did.
why even try?
you'll never see 'em again.
* You told the Lost Soul you'd think about what you'd done.
* It nods solemnly...!
You told the Lost Soul a bad pun about skeletons.
Suddenly, its memories are flooding back!
Seeing how nicely you treated its brother, the other Lost Soul remembers, too!
nah, i'm rootin for ya, kid.
Frisk...
I haven't felt like this for a long time.
As a flower, I was soulless.
I lacked the power to love other people.
However, with everyone's souls inside me...
I not only have my own compassion back...
But I can feel every other monster's as well.
They all care about each other so much.
And... they care about you too, Frisk.
I wish I could tell you how everyone feels about you.
Papyrus... Sans... Undyne... Alphys...
...Toriel.
Monsters are weird.
Even though they barely know you...
It feels like they all really love you.
Haha.
Asgore: Frisk! I just realized!
Asgore: Now that we aren't fighting each other... I can finally ask you...
Asgore: "Would you like a cup of tea?"
Asgore: Would you like a cup of tea?
(No)
Asgore: Oh... Okay.
Undyne: Frisk! Stop! You're breaking his big burly heart!
Asgore: Um, it's OK, Undyne.
Asgore: My heart's already broken.
Undyne: ASGORE! STOP! YOU'RE BREAKING MY BIG BURLY HEART!
Alphys: Y-yeah, Asgore. Don't break Undyne's heart.
Alphys: That's my job.
Undyne: OH MY GOD! YOU'RE GOING BACK IN THE TRASH!!!
Papyrus: CAN I GO IN THE TRASH TOO?
Undyne: Sure, Papyrus.
Sans: guess i have to go in the trash too.
Toriel: Oh, may I enter the trash as well?
Undyne: Uh, okay?
Asgore: Am I invited to the trash?
Undyne: SURE!!! WHY NOT!!!
Toriel: On second thought, do not put me in the trash.
Asgore: Oh...
Undyne: OH MY GOD!!!
Papyrus: SO, ASGORE...
Papyrus: HOW ABOUT MAKING ME A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL GUARD?
Asgore: Well, Papyrus, now that the war is over...
Asgore: We might not need the Royal Guard anymore.
Papyrus: WHAT!?
Papyrus: THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE HUMAN'S QUEST!?
Papyrus: THEY JOURNEYED ALL THAT WAY...
Papyrus: AND I'M STILL NOT A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL GUARD!?
Papyrus: TRULY, THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE ENDING.
Papyrus: IT SEEMS LIKE YOU REALLY BOTCHED YOUR QUEST, FRISK.
Papyrus: BUT, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS...
Papyrus: WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FRIEND!!!
Sans: no matter how hard you try to get rid of him.
Papyrus: HEY!
Papyrus: THAT'S TRUE.
Papyrus: FRISK, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A WALK AROUND?
Sans: frisk, why don't you fly? it's faster.
Papyrus: YEAH, FRISK, WHY DON'T YOU FLY?
Toriel: Hmmm... Flying sounds a little dangerous.
Alphys: But they CAN'T fly.
Undyne: Not with THAT attitude!
Alphys: I sure am excited to finally use the human internet.
Alphys: I bet they have all sorts of things Undyne and I can watch!
Undyne: Oh man!!!
Undyne: We're gonna be able to watch anime online!?
Alphys: Of course, Undyne!
Alphys: What do you think we've been fighting for all along?
Sans: yeah, what do you...
Sans: whoops.
Alphys: Jinx! I knew you were gonna make that joke!
Papyrus: WAIT, ALPHYS, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU KNEW SANS.
Alphys: Well... I...
Sans: doesn't everybody?
Toriel: Who the hell is Sans?
Toriel: ...
Toriel: Who the HECK is Sans?
Alphys: TORIEL!?!?!
Toriel: Hello, Frisk. Alphys upgraded my phone.
Toriel: I am having a lot of fun with the "texting" feature.
Toriel: Sans, "check out" this one.
Sans: oh man, tori...
Sans: that's brutal.
Papyrus: I CAN'T BELIEVE THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED...
Papyrus: AND ALSO THAT SHE'S A HUGE DORK!!!
Papyrus: YOU TWO ARE TWO FEET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!!!
Papyrus: WHY ARE YOU TEXTING!!!
Toriel: Worry not, Papyrus. We are texting for a good reason.
Papyrus: WHY IS THAT.
Sans: well.
Sans: cause we're huge dorks.
Toriel: Sans, please do not say that.
Toriel: You are not a dork.
Toriel: You are more of a bonehead!
Papyrus: HAHAHA, WOW! THOSE PUNS ARE EVEN LESS FUNNY COMING FROM HER!
Sans: then why are you smiling?
Papyrus: IT'S A PITY SMILE!!!
Sans: hey, frisk, what's with that weird expression?
Toriel: Sans, did I tell you about the time Frisk flirted with me...?
Toriel: And then asked to call me "mother?"
Toriel: I felt so embarrassed for them.
Sans: oh boy.
Papyrus: WOW, FRISK... THIS REALLY PUTS OUR RELATIONSHIP IN A NEW LIGHT.
Sans: hey, tori, do you have any other embarrassing stories?
Toriel: Oh, do I ever!
Toriel: But, I think that story is one of the most unbelievable.
Toriel: It is hard to think anyone would want to flirt with me.
Alphys: Ehehe... Ehehehe...
Alphys: AHA! AHAHAH! HA!! HA!!!
Alphys: Oh, Toriel. You have NO idea.
Sans: oh hey, what's up, frisk?we were just talking about you.
Sans: apparently you asked to call tori "mom" right after meeting her?
Toriel: Well, it was not RIGHT after.
Toriel: It took a couple minutes.
Sans: frisk... i gotta tell ya.
Sans: that's, uh, not the best way to get to know someone.
Papyrus: IT'S NOT???
Undyne: Papyrus, we've been over this.
Papyrus: WHATEVER, MOM!!!
Undyne: Don't talk back to me like that!
Undyne: Go to your room, Papyrus!
Papyrus: OK, UNDYNE.
Undyne: Wait! Don't ACTUALLY go to your room!!
Papyrus: I'M GETTING MIXED MESSAGES HERE!!!
Sans: frisk, tori was telling me how she made b'scotch pie for you.
Toriel: Oh, I should bake it for everyone sometime!
Alphys: (O-oh, that sounds REALLY good.)
Papyrus: COOKING???
Papyrus: CAN I HELP?
Undyne: Wait a second!!!
Undyne: Can I help too!?
Toriel: Certainly! It would be fun to cook together!
Alphys: (On second thought, maybe I'll o-order a pizza.)
sorry... i don't have time to talk, frisk.
i'm supposed to be working right now.
BUT YOU AREN'T WORKING!!!
i know, and it's taking all my concentration.
Dear Frisk,
Sans and Alphys are teaching me how to text. I am learning so much.
For example: Do you know what a "smiley" is?
Please look at this:
]: )
Now turn your head to the left.
It is a picture of me smiling at you! Can you see it?
L-O-L! (That stands for Lots of Laughter.)
Sincerely, Toriel
Dear Frisk,
How are you? You have been wandering around for quite some time now.
I hope you are not getting into trouble.
Only kidding. L-O-L!
Sincerly, Toriel
PS - Do not get into trouble.
Excuse me,
I did not mean to write "sincerly." I meant to say "sincerely."
It is difficult to use this with large hands.
Perhaps I should ask Sans to transcribe for me.
Sans will be typing from now on.
hey frisk. it's torrrrrieellll
i just baked 1000000 pies. do you want any?
make sure to brush your teeth before crossing the street, frisk
I did not say any of that.
Greetings. This is Sans. I love my brother very much.
help im being slandered
This is Sans. Frisk, did you know that I love to "get owned?"
I also think Toriel is very good and fhfjkehfeaufsisf
Excuse me
.
(TORIEL sent you a message titled "Cat Video.")
(Inside, she meticulously describes a video she saw of a small, white animal.)
(There is no link or attachment to watch it.)
Fwd: send this 2 some1 u care about... or a skeleton will rattle his bones at u
Thought you might enjoy this. ]: )
(It's ASCII art of a snail.)
Undyne and Papyrus want to cook something together with me.
Sans is telling me that they are excellent chefs.
I am excited. ]: ) Maybe if you are lucky, you can have some!
If Sans and I started a band, do you know what we could call it?
"Dreemurr" and "Femur." L-O-L!
PS - That is only a joke. Do not refer to me as Dreemurr.
Undyne is very strong.
Papyrus made a bet with her that she could not lift everyone here up.
She could.
The only trouble is that she did not know how to put everyone down.
Alphys is telling me many interesting facts about the human world.
Quite a few of them are wrong, though.
Frisk, you did not tell her anything funny, did you? ]: )
I heard that using the computer for too long is bad for you.
However, I have not seen you use the computer at all.
You must be very healthy! How nice.
I think I may have to turn off the phone for now.
Your friends are all very lovely people!
I think I will spend this time getting to know them better.
Be good, alright?
Sincerely, Toriel.
Alphys: Wow... it's e-even better than on TV.
Undyne: WAY better! Better than I ever imagined! Frisk, you LIVE with this!? The sunlight is so nice... and the air is so fresh! I really feel alive!
Papyrus: HEY SANS... WHAT'S THAT GIANT BALL?
Sans: we call that "the sun," my friend.
Papyrus: THAT'S THE SUN!? WOWIE!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FINALLY MEETING THE SUN!!!
truthfully, it doesn't really matter what you said.
all that's important is that you were honest with yourself.
what happens now...
we leave up to you.
huh? you look bored.
i get the feeling you aren't gonna learn anything from this.
well, guess I gotta judge you then.
lv2... seems like you messed up the slightest amount.
welp. that's pretty sad.
you probably weren't even aware of what you were doing...
and when you learned, it was too late.
nah, just kidding.
who gets to lv2 on accident? get outta here.
lv3...
3's just an ok number, i guess.
i'll give you a C+.
you can do better, right?
hmmm... over lv3, huh.
you killed some people on purpose, didn't you?
that's probably bad.
though, maybe some of it was in self- defense...
i don't know. help me out here.
i wasn't watching.
anyways, don't do that.
hmmm... over lv9, huh.
that's over halfway to lv20, the maximum.
but don't think that means you're still 50- percent good.
50-percent, 20-percent.
those are both still failing grades.
besides. chances are...
i've already tried to steer you in the right direction.
so what can i say?
what can i say that will change the mind of a being like you...?
hmmm... over lv14, huh.
well, hmmm... judgment-wise...
you're a pretty bad person.
you wander around, looking for people...
killing them to take their money.
that's just plain messed up.
and what's worse, is that as bad as you are...
you aren't anywhere near as bad as you could be.
you pretty much suck at being evil.
honestly, it's super embarrassing.
but maybe you'd be better...
at not killing anyone?
crazy idea, huh?
let me know how that one goes.
...huh?
what's with that look in your eye?
did you go through and kill someone...
just to see what i'd say about it?
wow.
you're a pretty gross person, huh?
huh? you STILL look bored.
okay then, consider our session over.
That lady over there seems happy today.
Don't know why, but it's sending shivers down my spine...
Ah, it's so peaceful and quiet...
Usually one of the skeletons chases my little Cinnamon around.
That's strange. There was a present here for Papyrus...
Now it's gone. Did someone steal it?
Hmmm, usually that skeleton goes to meet with Undyne about now.
Where is he...? I can feel our political system crumbling apart...
It just feels like... Like everything is getting worse and worse.
Just now, I felt my smile falter for a moment.
What's wrong?
I've sent the kids inside.
It feels unsafe here today.
H-hey, isn't Sansy s'posed to come swinging in here right about now???
C'mon Sansy! You're the life of the party...
Hmm, this is around the time that Sans comes in.
Then, a little bit later, his brother comes in, irritated.
Yes, his brother. Papyrus.
He's an interesting fellow.
He always orders a glass of milk.
He says it's "full of strong bones."
Hope he shows up today.
The capital's getting pretty crowded, so I've heard they're going to start moving here.
...who knows. Maybe we'll have room.
Where's Sans... He's supposed to give me a pat on the head...
(Where are those skeletons?) (I wanted to get a bone from them...)
Papyrus? Is that you? Come on...
Where the heck is Sans?
He told me he had some bait I could use.
Though it was probably some kind of prank.
But I wanted to know what the prank was!
Grillby is getting nervous.
Sans is his best customer, and he hasn't shown up at all today...
* A hooded figure watches the commotion from afar.
...
Forget it.
Look.
Papyrus didn't come to his meeting today.
Say what you want about him.
He's weird, he's naive, he's self-absorbed...
But Papyrus has NEVER missed a meeting.
And no matter what time you call him on the phone...
Night, day, afternoon, morning...
He ALWAYS answers within the first two rings.
But now he's gone.
And his brother isn't around, either.
...
What did you do to him?
What did you DO TO HIM?
Papyrus, who I have trained every day...
Even though I KNOW he's too goofy to ever hurt anyone...
Go ahead. Prepare however you want.
But when you step forward...
I will KILL you.
truthfully, it doesn't really matter what you said.
all that's important is that you were honest with yourself.
what happens now...
we leave up to you.
though...
one thing about you always struck me as kinda odd.
now, i understand acting in self-defense.
you were thrown into those situations against your will.
but...
sometimes...
you act like you know what's gonna happen.
like you've already experienced it all before.
this is an odd thing to say, but...
if you have some sort of special power...
isn't it your responsibility to do the right thing?
(Yes)
ah.
i see.
...
Then why'd you kill my brother?
(No)
heh.
well, that's your viewpoint.
i won't judge you for it.
...
You dirty brother killer.
so she went back to the ruins.
but hey! it's not all bad!
she's not so lonely anymore.
me and papyrus go and visit her...
we bring her books from the library, or play games...
we've even convinced her to leave sometimes.
as long as me or papyrus stay behind to watch for humans.
but papyrus loves doing that.
YEAH!!! I LOVE STANDING IN FOR THE QUEEN!!!
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING FOR WHEN A HUMAN COMES.
I'M GOING TO BE A GREAT MOM!!!
BY THE WAY, WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?
oh, nobody.
OH, COOL. TELL THEM I SAY HI!!!
papyrus says hi.
well, i hope things are better where you are.
later.
HEY!!! IT'S ME, PAPYRUS!!
IMAGINE ME WEARING COOL GLASSES, AND A SUIT.
AND IMAGINE SANS WEARING SUNGLASSES BEING A BOUNCER.
THAT'S OUR LIFE... IT'S SO COOL!!!
THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WAY BETTER SINCE YOU CAME HERE!!!
WELL, MINUS THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING SUCKS...
FOR ANYONE THAT DOESNT WORSHIP METTATON.
AND MINUS THE FACT THAT MY FRIEND UNDYNE IS MISSING.
WHO KNOWS WHERE SHE WENT.
SHE NEVER LIKED METTATON'S SHOW.
PEOPLE WHO DON'T TEND TO KIND OF...
DISAPPEAR.
I MISS HER A LOT SOMETIMES.
IF YOU SEE HER, CAN YOU TELL HER I SAID HI?
THANKS! SEE YOU LATER!
so.. it's been a while.
since you left...
things have gotten really strange.
overnight, a bunch of people mysteriously disappeared.
as well as the human souls.
people were heart-broken. everyone they looked up to...
everything they were relying on, in one night, disappeared.
everyone clamored to elect a new ruler as fast as possible.
so, uh... by process of elimination...
papyrus became the ruler?
why doesn't he talk to you about this...
HELLO!!! HUMAN!!!
IT'S STRANGE.
ASGORE, ALPHYS, METTATON, AND UNDYNE WENT AWAY.
SANS SAYS THEY WENT ON VACATION.
I HOPE THEY'RE HAVING FUN!!!
OH YEAH.
I'M THE RULER OF THE UNDERGROUND NOW!!!
EVERYTHING IS IMPROVING A LOT HERE.
PRODUCTIVITY IS UP!
BECAUSE I TELL EVERYONE TO KEEP WORKING.
AND, NO ONE GOES HUNGRY!!!
BECAUSE I COOK EVERYONE SPAGHETTI.
MEANWHILE, MY BROTHER HANDLES THE PAPERWORK.
STRANGELY... HE SEEMS TO BE WORKING HARD?
THIS SOUNDS MESSED UP... BUT...
I'M PROUD... OF HIM???
OH NO!!!!
AS FOR OUR HUMAN POLICY...
WE'VE DECIDED, UM.
SANS, WHAT WAS IT?
we can't judge humans to be all good or all bad.
RIGHT! SO IT'S CASE-BY-CASE!
IF THEY'RE EVIL... WE GIVE THEM PUZZLES!
IF THEY'RE GOOD... WE ALSO GIVE THEM PUZZLES!
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE BEST WAY!
IS SANS GONE?
YOU KNOW...
DON'T TELL MY BROTHER, BUT...
DESPITE THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE MADE...
SOMETIMES THIS JOB IS KIND OF HARD.
SINCE THE KING WENT AWAY...
LOTS OF PEOPLE JUST WANT TO GIVE UP.
SOMETIMES, EVEN MY BEST ENCOURAGEMENT...
DOESN'T WORK.
AND, AND, I MISS UNDYNE, TOO.
SHE NEVER ANSWERS MY PHONE CALLS...
SHE MUST BE HAVING A LOT OF FUN ON VACATION.
I JUST WISH SHE'D SEND A POSTCARD.
BUT HEY!!!
I WON'T GIVE UP!
I CAN'T GIVE UP!
I HAVE TO MAKE EVERYONE GIVE UP GIVING UP!
WE'LL GET OUT OF HERE, SLOWLY!!!
THEN WE CAN ALL HANG OUT AGAIN!!!
NYEH HEH HEH!!!
because of you, not only was the king gone...
but the human souls had gone missing as well...
along with the life of...
...
nobody wanted to see that happen ever again.
when the queen went back to the ruins...
i decided to go with her.
and i took out some books from the library, too.
so she won't have to read the same ones.
she's a good roomie. we have a lot of fun.
you know.
sometimes the queen talks about...
how she'd like to see you again.
isn't that nice?
i don't have the heart to tell her what you did.
do you know how she'd react?
if i told her that 'cause she protected you...
...you went on to kill my brother...?
anyway, never come back here.
you are not welcome.
it's been a while, huh?
things have gotten pretty bad here.
everyone considered a leader disappeared overnight.
it's gotten so quiet.
there's a bad feeling hanging over everyone.
like everyone's just going to die here, trapped in the dark...
...i bet you're wondering why i'm not the ruler.
eh.
i'm not cut out for something like that.
i like to take it easy, you know?
...that's a joke.
this is what happens when people like me take it easy.
hey, at least things are less crowded.
'cause of all the people you killed.
hope that was a good experience for you.
just kidding. i don't really hope that.
go to hell.
God... I miss everyone.
Now that they're gone, it...
It feels so clear what I should have done.
What I should have said.
Undyne... Asgore...
Mettaton...
At least Sans is still here.
He's... He's a good guy. And with him around...
I...
Sigh.
You know. Just daydreaming here. But...
I really should have killed you when I had the chance.
Human.
Don't you know how to greet a new pal?
Turn around and shake my hand.
heheh... the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick.
it's ALWAYS funny.
...
that's, uh. your cue to laugh.
or, uh, to emote at all...?
...
(gee, lady, you really know how to pick 'em, huh...?)
OK, that's fine. everyone's got their own sense of humor.
i'm sans. sans the skeleton.
im actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now.
but... y'know...
i dont really care about capturing anybody.
now my brother, papyrus...
he's a human-hunting FANATIC.
hey, actually, that's him over there.
i have an idea. go through this gate thingy.
yeah, go right through. my bro made the bars too wide to stop anyone.
quick, behind that conveniently-shaped lamp.
...
uh, ok, i guess you don't have to.
Sans!!! Have you found a human yet!??!
yeah.
REALLY!?!? WOWIE!!!
GUESS THAT'S SETTLED!!
that worked out, huh?
...are you just gonna stare at me, or...?
well, i'll be straight-forward with you.
my brother'd really like to see a human...
so, y'know, it'd really help me out...
if you kept pretending to be one.
So Sans! When's the human showing up???I WANT TO LOOK MY SUNDAY BEST...
OR AT LEAST MY TUESDAY PRETTY-GOOD.
don't you only have one outfit?
YEAH, BUT I COULD STYLE MY HAIR!
oh. right. good idea.
say, why don't you look over there?
SANS!!! OH MY GOD!!!!
I'M DIZZY. WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?
behold.
OH MY GOD!!!
WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME TO LOOK AT A ROCK.
hey, what's that in front of the rock?
OH MY GOD!!!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS.
well. it's not a rock.
NOT A ROCK...?
OH NO!!! BY PROCESS OF ELIMINATION!!!
THAT MEANS IT'S A HUMAN!!!
AHEM!! HUMAN!!
PREPARE YOURSELF!! FOR HIGH JINKS! FOR LOW JINKS!
DANGERS! PUZZLES! CAPERS! JAPERS!
BEING CAPTURED! AND OTHER SORTS OF FUN ACTIVITIES.
REFRESHMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED...
IF YOU DARE!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!
...and you don't even bat an eye, huh?
[He leaves the same way Papyrus went, no hanging around.]
You're so lazy!!!
You were napping all night!!!
i think that's called...
sleeping.
EXCUSES, EXCUSES!
Oh-ho! The human arrives!
IN ORDER TO STOP YOU...
MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES!
I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE...
Quite shocking!!!
FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS... THE, INVISIBLE...
UHHHHHHH...?
HMMM... YOU MUST BE HAVING CULTURE SHOCK.
YOU SEE, WHERE I COME FROM, IT'S A LOVING TRADITION.
TO SUFFER THROUGH HORRIBLE PUZZLES FOR NO REASON.
So, uh, just walk back there, and...
...
SIGH...
WHY COULDN'T WE GET A HUMAN THAT LIKES PUZZLES???
it would make my brother happy if you played along.
[He stays in the area to repeat the line this time. (The next puzzle up is his...)]
Human!!! I hope you're ready for...
SANS!! WHERE'S THE PUZZLE!!!
it's right there. on the ground.
trust me. there's no way they'll skip this one.
Sans!!! That did nothing!!!
whoops.
knew i should have put down junior jumble instead.
WHAT?!? JUNIOR JUMBLE!?
FINALLY, SOMETHING WE CAN BOTH AGREE ON.
guess you don't like word searches, huh?
me neither. i'm more of a funny pages kind of guy.
...
... [He looks off to the side only at the second pause.]
Hey!
It's the human!
You're gonna love this puzzle!
IT WAS MADE BY THE GREAT...
...ARE YOU SERIOUS?
SANS!!! HELP!!!
THEY KEEP WALKING THROUGH MY PUZZLES!
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO LET ME EXPLAIN THEM.
THEN THREATEN AND BAFFLE THEM WITH DANGEROUS JAPES.
well, maybe they don't like japes.
Everyone likes japes!!!
what about undyne? doesn't she hate puzzles?
She hates puzzles. But she loves japes.
that makes sense.
HUMAN!! WHAT DO YOU THINK!?
PUZZLES OR JAPES?
...
...
OKAY, THIS IS NORMALLY THE PART.
WHERE YOU EITHER AGREE OR DISAGREE.
AND DEPENDING ON YOUR ANSWER.
WE SAY SOMETHING GREAT IN RESPONSE.
...
HERE, WHY DON'T YOU DO THIS PUZZLE YOURSELF.
hey... puzzles might be fun. if you tried them.
[Like normal, appearing on both sides of the screen (though note timing) -]
what's up?
say...
are you following me?
that, uh, doesn't look very activated.
Well!!!
...THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO WALK THROUGH IT.
AND IT WON'T BE ANY FUN AT ALL.
hmmm... so this human thing was a bust, huh?
WELL. I MEAN. I'M EXCITED TO CAPTURE THEM.
SO I'LL BECOME A FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN!!!
BUT ALL THE TIME I PUT INTO THESE PUZZLES...
IT'S KIND OF LIKE THROWING A BIRTHDAY PARTY...
without traps and fire?
EXACTLY!! IT'S POINTLESS!!!
MAYBE YOU WERE RIGHT TO BE LAZY ABOUT PUZZLES.
me? right about something? really?
...
YEAH!! WHAT AM I SAYING!
YOU'RE STILL COMPLETELY WRONG!
I JUST HAVE THE WRONG AUDIENCE!
THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH FUN UNDYNE WOULD HAVE HERE!
FLAMES. VIOLENCE. IT'S RIGHT UP HER ALLEY!
SO I WON'T WASTE THIS PUZZLE ON YOU.
I JUST HAVE TO APPRECIATE...
THE FRIEND I ALREADY HAVE!!!
Phew!
A valuable life lesson!!!
Nyeh heh heh!!! [He just leaves.]
hmmm...
guess we didn't need your help to have a good time after all.
...
say, i've been thinking.
seems like you're gonna fight my brother pretty soon.
here's some friendly advice.
if you keep going the way you are now...
...
you're gonna have a bad time.
* (That comedian...)
Halt, human!
Hey, quit moving while I'm talking to you!
I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE SOME THINGS TO SAY.
FIRST: YOU'RE A FREAKING WEIRDO!
NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT LIKE PUZZLES.
BUT THE WAY YOU SHAMBLE ABOUT FROM PLACE TO PLACE...
THE WAY YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS COVERED IN DUSTY POWDER.
IT FEELS...
LIKE YOUR LIFE IS GOING DOWN A DANGEROUS PATH.
HOWEVER!
I, PAPYRUS, SEE GREAT POTENTIAL WITHIN YOU!
EVERYONE CAN BE A GREAT PERSON IF THEY TRY!
AND ME, I HARDLY HAVE TO TRY AT ALL!!!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!
Hey, quit moving!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!
HUMAN! I THINK YOU ARE IN NEED OF GUIDANCE!
SOMEONE NEEDS TO KEEP YOU ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW!
BUT WORRY NOT! I, PAPYRUS...
WILL GLADLY BE YOUR FRIEND AND TUTOR!
I WILL TURN YOUR LIFE RIGHT AROUND!!!
I see you are approaching.
ARE YOU OFFERING A HUG OF ACCEPTANCE?
WOWIE!! MY LESSONS ARE ALREADY WORKING!!
I, PAPYRUS, WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS!
W-Well, that's not what I expected...
BUT...
ST... STILL! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
YOU CAN DO A LITTLE BETTER!
EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK SO!
I... I PROMISE...
heya.
you've been busy, huh?
...
so, i've got a question for ya.
do you think even the worst person can change...?
that everybody can be a good person, if they just try?
heh heh heh heh...
all right.
well, here's a better question.
do you wanna have a bad time?
'cause if you take another step forward...
you are REALLY not going to like what happens next.
welp.
sorry, old lady.
this is why i never make promises.
heya.
you look frustrated about something.
guess i'm pretty good at my job, huh?
hmm. that expression...
that's the expression of someone who's died twice in a row.
suffice to say, you look really... unsatisfied.
all right.
how 'bout we make it a third?
hmm. that expression...
that's the expression of someone who's died thrice in a row.
...
hey, what comes after "thrice," anyway?
wanna help me find out?
hmm. that expression...
that's the expression of someone who's died quice in a row.
quice? frice?
welp, won't have to use it again anyways.
that expression that you're wearing...
...
well, i won't grace it with a description.
let's just get to the point.
it's a beautiful day outside.
birds are singing, flowers are blooming...
on days like these, kids like you...
Should be burning in hell.
huh.
always wondered why people never use their strongest attack first.
* You feel like you're going to have a bad time.
* You felt your sins crawling on your back.
anyway, as i was saying, it's a nice day out.
why not relax and take a load off?
here we go.
what? you think i'm just gonna stand there and take it?
our reports showed a massive anomaly in the timespace continuum.
timelines jumping left and right, stopping and starting...
until suddenly, everything ends.
heh heh heh...
that's your fault, isn't it?
you can't understand how this feels.
knowing that one day, without any warning...
it's all going to be reset.
look. i gave up trying to go back a long time ago.
and getting to the surface doesn't really appeal anymore, either.
cause even if we do...
we'll just end up right back here, without any memory of it, right?
to be blunt...
it makes it kind of hard to give it my all.
...or is that just a poor excuse for being lazy...?
hell if i know.
all i know is... seeing what comes next...
i can't afford to not care anymore.
ugh... that being said...
you, uh, really like swinging that thing around, huh?
...
listen.
i know you didn't answer me before, but...
somewhere in there. i can feel it.
there's a glimmer of a good person inside of you.
the memory of someone who once wanted to do the right thing.
someone who, in another time, might have even been...
a friend?
c'mon, buddy.
do you remember me?
please, if you're listening...
let's forget all this, ok?
just lay down your weapon, and...
well, my job will be a lot easier.
woah, you look REALLY pissed off...
heheheh...
did i getcha?
well, if you came back anyway...
i guess that means we never really WERE friends, huh?
heh.
don't tell that to the other sans-es, ok?
sounds strange, but before all this i was secretly hoping we could be friends.
i always thought the anomaly was doing this cause they were unhappy.
and when they got what they wanted, they would stop all this.
and maybe all they needed was... i dunno.
some good food, some bad laughs, some nice friends.
but that's ridiculous, right?
yeah, you're the type of person who won't EVER be happy.
you'll keep consuming timelines over and over, until...
well.
hey.
take it from me, kid.
someday...
you gotta learn when to QUIT.
and that day's TODAY.
cause... y'see...
all this fighting is really tiring me out.
and if you keep pushing me...
then i'll be forced to use my special attack.
yeah, my special attack. sound familiar?
well, get ready. cause after the next move, i'm going to use it.
so, if you don't wanna see it, now would be a good time to die.
well, here goes nothing...
are you ready?
survive THIS, and i'll show you my special attack!
huff... puff...
all right. that's it.
it's time for my special attack.
are you ready?
here goes nothing.
yep.
that's right.
it's literally nothing.
and it's not gonna be anything, either.
heh heh heh... ya get it?
i know i can't beat you.
one of your turns...
you're just gonna kill me.
so, uh.
i've decided...
it's not gonna BE your turn. ever.
i'm just gonna keep having MY turn until you give up.
even if it means we have to stand here until the end of time.
capiche?
you'll get bored here.
if you haven't gotten bored already, i mean.
and then, you'll finally quit.
i know your type.
you're, uh, very determined, aren't you?
you'll never give up, even if there's, uh...
absolutely NO benefit to persevering whatsoever.
if i can make that clear.
no matter what, you'll just keep going.
not out of any desire for good or evil...
but just because you think you can.
and because you "can"...
...you "have to."
but now, you've reached the end.
there is nothing left for you now.
so, uh, in my personal opinion...
the most "determined" thing you can do here?
is to, uh, completely give up.
and... (yawn) do literally anything else.
heh, didja really think you would be able
(FIGHT)
...
...
...
so...
guess that's it, huh?
...
just...
don't say i didn't warn you.
welp.
i'm going to grillby's.
papyrus, do you want anything?
important info
heard through a grape vine that some people said undertale contains some prejudiced things. that’s… uh… pretty much untrue. anyone that’s played the game could tell you that. and in the case that anyone does have a real bone to pick, no one’s approached us with a single problem. strange, huh?
it’s not good to spread lies. trust me. i’ve been slandered before. rumors spread of me being a “big noob.” after that, i had to stand in the rain in that cool way where you can’t tell if i’m crying, or if it’s just water. she tried to call me back, but it was too late: i was already owned.
it’s not good to dismiss people, either. i mean, even the person who posted the lies shouldn’t be written off as a “bad person.” something in their life led them to this point, you know? just remember: there’s a difference between protecting your friends and destroying someone for your own justice. for honesty’s sake, investigate the truth for yourself, then ask: how is this going to help people?
besides, it’s rude to talk about people that are listening, right? not everyone is as tough as my brother.
anyway, here’s the important info: uhhh… about shyren’s lower body. doing some research might help you. but i won’t blame you if you dont. they say those without blame should cast the first stone. but… my stone’s covered in sprinkles. so, actually, keep doing whatever you want, kid.
Q: Sans, could you make a joke?
i don’t make jokes.

Snowdin Forest
(It's a tough-looking branch.)
(It's too heavy to pick up.)
(It's been smashed like it was nothing...)
Human.
Don't you know how to greet a new pal?
Turn around and shake my hand.
heheh... the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick.
it's ALWAYS funny.
anyways, you're a human, right?
that's hilarious.
i'm sans.
sans the skeleton.
im actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now.
but... y'know...
i dont really care about capturing anybody.
now my brother, papyrus...
he's a human-hunting FANATIC.
hey, actually, I think that's him over there.
i have an idea. go through this gate thingy.
yeah, go right through. my bro made the bars too wide to stop anyone.
sup, bro?
You know what "sup", brother!
It's been eight days and you still haven't...
Recalibrated. Your. Puzzles!
You just hang around outside your station!
What are you even doing?!?
staring at this lamp. it's really cool. do you wanna look?
Sans!!!
come on. you're smiling.
I AM AND I HATE IT!
SIGH...
WHY DOES SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME...
HAVE TO DO SO MUCH JUST TO GET SOME RECOGNITION...
wow, sounds like you're really working yourself...
down to the bone. [rimshot]
UGH!!!
I WILL ATTEND TO MY PUZZLES...
AS FOR YOUR WORK?
PUT A LITTLE MORE,
"backbone" into it!!!!
NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!
what's the holdup? look, there's nothin to be afraid of.
it's just a dark cavern filled with skeletons and horrible monsters.
actually, hey...
hate to bother ya, but can you do me a favor?
i was thinking... my brother's been kind of down lately...
he's never seen a human before. and seeing you might just make his day.
don't worry, he's not dangerous.
even if he tries to be.
thanks a million. i'll be up ahead.
So, as I was saying about Undyne,
[!]
Sans!! Oh my god!! Is that...
A HUMAN!?!?!??!?!
uhhhh...
actually, i think that's a rock.
OH.
hey, what's that in front of the rock?
OH MY GOD!!!
(IS... IS THAT A HUMAN)
(yes)
OH MY GOD!!!
SANS! I FINALLY DID IT!!
UNDYNE WILL...
I'M GONNA...
I'LL BE SO...
POPULAR!!! POPULAR!!! POPULAR!!!
...*AHEM*
Human! You shall not pass this area!
I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL STOP YOU!!!
I WILL THEN CAPTURE YOU!
YOU WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CAPITAL!
THEN... THEN!!!
I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT.
IN ANY CASE!
CONTINUE... ONLY IF YOU DARE!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!
well, that went well.
don't sweat it, kid.
i'll keep an eyesocket out for ya.
hey, here's something important to remember.
my brother has a very special attack.
if you see a blue attack, don't move and it won't hurt you.
here's an easy way to keep it in mind.
imagine a stop sign. when you see a stop sign, you stop, right?
stop signs are red.
so imagine a blue stop sign instead.
simple, right? when fighting, think about blue stop signs.
You're so lazy!!!
You were napping all night!!!
i think that's called...
sleeping.
EXCUSES, EXCUSES!
REALLY THOUGH!!! THAT HUMAN!!!
DO I KNOW THAT PERSON???
do you not know...
who you know?
PBPBPPBPT!!
OF COURSE I KNOW WHO I KNOW!!
I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU KNOW...
I KNOW WHO I KNOW AS MUCH AS I KNOW I KNOW WHO I KNOW!
...YOU KNOW?
OH-HO! SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!
IN ORDER TO STOP YOU...
MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES!
I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE...
QUITE SHOCKING!
FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS THE INVISIBLE...
ELECTRICITY MAZE
WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WALLS OF THIS MAZE,
this orb will administer a hearty zap!
SOUND LIKE FUN???
BECAUSE!
THE AMOUNT OF FUN YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE,
IS ACTUALLY RATHER SMALL I THINK.
OK, YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW.
[Zap!]
SANS!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!
i think the human has to hold the orb.
OH, OKAY.
Incredible!! You slippery snail!!
YOU SOLVED IT SO EASILY... TOO EASILY!
HOWEVER!
THE NEXT PUZZLE WILL NOT BE EASY!
IT IS DESIGNED BY MY BROTHER, SANS!
YOU WILL SURELY BE CONFOUNDED!
I KNOW I AM!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH!!
hey, thanks...
my brother seems like he's having fun.
by the way, did you see that weird outfit he's wearing?
we made that a few weeks ago for a costume party.
he hasn't worn anything else since...
keeps calling it his "battle body."
man...
isn't my brother cool?
hey.
is your refrigerator running?
(Yes)
nice. i'll be over to deposit the brewskis.
(No)
ok, i'll send someone over to fix it.
thanks for letting me know.
good communication is important.
Human!!! I hope you're ready for...
Sans!! Where's the puzzle!!!
it's right there. on the ground.
trust me. there's no way they can get past this one.
Sans!!! That didn't do anything!
whoops.
i knew i should have used today's crossword instead.
WHAT!? CROSSWORD!?
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT!!
IN MY OPINION...
JUNIOR JUMBLE IS EASILY THE HARDEST.
what? really, dude? that easy-peasy word scramble?
that's for baby bones.
UN. BELIEVABLE.
HUMAN!!! SOLVE THIS DISPUTE!
papyrus...
...finds difficulty in interesting places.
yesterday he got stumped trying to "solve" the horoscope.
thanks for saying "junior jumble" just to appease my brother.
yesterday he got stumped trying to "solve" the horoscope.
wow, that's a lot of cash.
that's why i'm sorry to say...
i can't sell you this fried snow.
it's got too much sentimental value.
My brother started a sock collection recently.
HOW SADDENING...
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT HE WOULD DO...
WITHOUT SUCH A COOL GUY TAKING CARE OF HIM???
NYEH HEH HEH!
Human!
HMMM... HOW DO I SAY THIS...
YOU WERE TAKING A LONG TIME TO ARRIVE, SO...
I DECIDED TO IMPROVE THIS PUZZLE...
BY ARRANGING THE SNOW TO LOOK MORE LIKE MY FACE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE SNOW FROZE TO THE GROUND.
NOW THE SOLUTION IS DIFFERENT!
AND, AS USUAL, MY LAZY BROTHER IS NOWHERE AROUND.
I SUPPOSE WHAT I AM SAYING IS...
WORRY NOT, HUMAN!
I, the great Papyrus, will solve this conundrum!
Then we can both proceed!
MEANWHILE, FEEL FREE TO TRY THE PUZZLE YOURSELF.
I'LL TRY NOT TO GIVE AWAY THE ANSWER!!!
good job on solving it so quickly.
you didn't even need my help.
which is great, 'cause i love doing absolutely nothing.
hey, why didn't you ask for help?
i was right here.
...you must be really good at puzzles, huh?
it's impossible for you to have seen this one before.
actually, that spaghetti from earlier...
it wasn't too bad for my brother.
since he started cooking lessons, he's been improving a lot.
i bet if he keeps it up, next year he'll even make something edible.
(It's a snow Papyrus.)
(It's a lump of snow with the word 'sans' written on it in red marker.)
what's up?
[next] say...
are you following me?
[later]are you lost?
[finally] you sure do like to exercise.
Human!
THIS IS YOUR FINAL AND MOST DANGEROUS CHALLENGE!
BEHOLD! THE GAUNTLET OF DEADLY TERROR!
When I say the word, it will fully activate!
Cannons will fire! Spikes will swing! Blades will slice!
Each part will swing violently up and down!
Only the tiniest chance of victory will remain!!!
Are you ready?
Because!
I!
Am!
About!
To do it!
well? what's the holdup?
Holdup!? What holdup!?
I'm... I'm about to activate it now!
that, uh, doesn't look very activated.
WELL!!!
THIS CHALLENGE!!!
IT SEEMS...
MAYBE... TOO EASY TO DEFEAT THE HUMAN WITH.
YEAH! WE CAN'T USE THIS ONE!!!
I AM A SKELETON WITH STANDARDS!!!
MY PUZZLES ARE VERY FAIR!
AND MY TRAPS ARE EXPERTLY COOKED!
BUT THIS METHOD IS TOO DIRECT! NO CLASS AT ALL!
AWAY IT GOES!
PHEW!
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
THIS WAS ANOTHER DECISIVE VICTORY FOR PAPYRUS!!
NYEH!!
HEH!!
...HEH???
i don't know what my brother's going to do now.
if i were you, i would make sure i understand blue attacks.
here's some advice about fighting my brother.
don't. [dead eyes] capiche?
Snowdin Town
You want to know what to do here in Snowdin?
Grillby's has food, and the library has information...
If you're tired, you can take a nap at the inn.
It's right next door - my sister runs it.
And if you're bored, you can sit outside and watch those wacky skeletons do their thing.
There's two of 'em... Brothers, I think. They just showed up one day and... asserted themselves.
The town has gotten a lot more interesting since then.
* Papyrus remembered a bad joke Sans told and is frowning.
Waterfall
hey, i really respect what you did back there.
thanks.
what? haven't you seen a guy with two jobs before?
fortunately, two jobs means twice as many legally-required breaks.
i'm going to grillby's. wanna come?
(Yeah)
well, if you insist... i'll pry myself away from my work...
over here. i know a shortcut.
fast shortcut, huh?
hey, everyone.
[Dogamy] Hey, Sans.
[Dogaressa] (Hi, Sans.)
[Plant] Greetings, Sans.
[Rabbit] Hiya, Sansy~
[Fish] Hey Sans, weren't you just here for breakfast a few minutes ago?
nah, i haven't had breakfast in at least half an hour.
you must be thinking of brunch.
[rimshot, crowd laughter]
here, get comfy.
whoops, watch where you sit down.
sometimes weirdos put whoopee cushions on the seats.
anyway, let's order.
whaddya want...?
(Burger)
hey, that sounds pretty good.
grillby, we'll have a double order of burg.
so, what do you think... of my brother?
(Uncool)
hey, pal.
sarcasm isn't funny, okay?
my brother's a real star.
he's the person who pushed me to get this sentry job.
maybe it's a little strange, but sometimes...
...it's nice to have someone call you out on being lazy.
even though nothing could be further from the truth.
here comes the grub.
want some ketchup?
(Yes)
bone appetit.
(You tip the ketchup...)
(The cap falls off and all the ketchup in the bottle pours onto your food.)
whoops.
eh, forgetddaboudit. you can have mine.
i'm not hungry anyway.
anyway, cool or not, you have to agree papyrus tries real hard.
like how he keeps trying to be part of the royal guard.
one day, he went to the house of the head of the royal guard...
and begged her to let him be in it.
of course, she shut the door on him because it was midnight.
but the next day, she woke up and saw him still waiting there.
seeing his dedication, she decided to give him warrior training.
it's, uh, still a work in progress.
...
oh yeah, I wanted to ask you something.
have you ever heard of a talking flower?
(Yes)
so you know all about it.
the echo flower.
they're all over the marsh.
say something to them, and they'll repeat it over and over...
what about it?
well, papyrus told me something interesting the other day.
sometimes, when no one else is around...
a flower appears and whispers things to him.
flattery... advice... encouragement...
...predictions.
weird, huh?
someone must be using an echo flower to play a trick on him.
keep an eye out, ok?
thanks.
welp, that was a long break.
i can't believe i let ya pull me away from work for that long.
oh, by the way...
i'm flat broke. can you foot the bill?
it's just 10000G.
just kidding.
grillby, put it on my tab.
by the way...
...i was going to say something, but i forgot.
[Bird] Sans is a sentry. But don't let his title make you think he does anything. Everyone knows he sits around in the forest reading car magazines.
[Fish] Sans is the most regular regular of them all. He hasn't been showing up as much recently, though.
[Doggo] Huh? Since when did you and Sans become friends...? I don't like him... He loves to appear without moving.
[Dogamy] I was hoping Sans came in to give me a pat on the head. Interloper...!
[Dogaressa] (I like Sans. Sometimes he feeds us scraps of food under the table. Then his brother gets mad... But why!? We're adults! We can handle it!)
[Plant] Sans is interesting. He has told me about all kinds of incredible foods. But, despite his knowledge, he always orders the worst burger off the menu.
[Rabbit] Sansyyyy... Come back and sit with me... Everything's so fun when you're around!
(Half of the fridge is filled with containers all labelled "spaghetti.")
(The other half contains nothing but an empty bag of chips.)
My brother always goes out to eat. But...
RECENTLY, HE TRIED "BAKING" SOMETHING.
IT WAS LIKE... A QUICHE.
BUT FILLED WITH A SUGARY, NON-EGG SUBSTANCE.
HOW ABSURD!
(There's an empty pie tin inside the stove.)
Hotland
What? My brother's actually at his station?
What? I thought he only had three stations.
No, he has... at least four?
Who the heck keeps hiring this guy!?
hey buddy, what's up? wanna buy a hot dog?
it's only 30G.
here. have fun.
you're holding too much. ... guess i'll just put it on your head.
here's another hot dog.
it's on the house. well, no. it's on you.
i'll be 'frank' with you.
as much as i like putting hot dogs on your head...
thirty is just an excessive number.
twenty-nine, now that's fine, but thirty...
does it look like my arms can reach that high?
sorry, thirty is the limit on head-dogs.
thanks, kid. here's your hot dog.
thanks, kid. here's your 'dog.
yeah. 'dog. apostrophe-dog. it's short for hot-dog.
another h'dog? here you go...
whoops, i'm actually out of hot dogs.
here, you can have a hot cat instead.
another dog, coming right up...
...you really like hot animals, don't you?
hey, i'm not judging.
i'd be out of a job without folks like you.
cool. here's that ''dog.
apostrophe-apostrophe dog.
it's short for apostrophe-dog.
which is, in turn, short for...
another one? okay.
careful. if you eat too many hot dogs...
you'll probably get huge like me.
huge as in super- popular, i mean.
i'm practically a hot-dog tycoon now.
whoops, you don't have enough cash.
you should get a job. i've heard being a sentry pays well.
yeah, you've gotta save your money for college and spiders.
MTT Resort
hey. i heard you're going to the core.
how about grabbing some dinner with me first?
(Yeah)
great, thanks for treating me.
over here. i know a shortcut.
well, here we are.
so.
your journey's almost over, huh?
you must really wanna go home.
hey. i know the feeling, buddo.
though...
maybe sometimes it's better to take what's given to you.
down here you've already got food, drink, friends...
is what you have to do...
really worth it?
...
ah, forget it.
i'm rootin for ya, kid.
hey.
let me tell you a story.
so i'm a sentry in snowdin forest, right?
i sit out there and watch for humans. it's kind of boring.
fortunately, deep in the forest...
there's this HUGE locked door.
and it's perfect for practicing knock knock jokes.
so one day, i'm knocking 'em out, like usual.
i knock on the door and say, "knock knock."
and suddenly, from the other side...
i hear a woman's voice.
"who is there?"
so naturally i respond:
"dishes."
"dishes who?"
"dishes a very bad joke."
then she just howls in laughter.
like it's the best joke she's heard in a hundred years.
so i keep 'em coming. and she keeps laughing.
she's the best audience i've ever had.
then, after a dozen of 'em, SHE knocks and says...
"knock knock!"
i say "whos there?"
"old lady."
"old lady who?"
"oh! I did not know you could yodel!"
wow.
needless to say, this woman was extremely good.
we kept telling each other jokes for hours.
eventually, i had to leave.
papyrus gets kind of cranky without his bedtime story.
but she told me to come back again, and so i did.
then i did again. and again. it's a thing now.
telling bad jokes through the door.
it rules.
...
one day, though, i noticed she wasn't laughing very much.
i asked her what was up.
then she told me something strange.
"if a human ever comes through this door..."
"could you please, please promise me something?"
"watch over them, and protect them, will you not?"
now, i hate making promises.
and this woman, i don't even know her name.
but...
someone who sincerely likes bad jokes...
has an integrity you can't say "no" to.
(silence)
do you get what i'm saying?
that promise i made to her...
you know what would have happened if she hadn't said anything?
...buddy.
... You'd be dead where you stand.
...
hey, lighten up, bucko!
i'm just joking with you.
besides...
haven't i done a great job protecting you?
i mean, look at yourself.
you haven't died a single time.
that's right, isn't it?
well, chalk it up to my great skills.
heh. [he gets up]
well, that's all.
take care of yourself, kid.
'cause someone really cares about you.
(It's a performance schedule.) (Comedians, dancers, Sans...) (Seems there's a break now.)
Papyrus and Undyne
HMMMM... THE STRANGE DOOR IN THE WOODS.
ACTUALLY, MY BROTHER SPENDS A LOT OF TIME HERE.
WHAT'S HE DOING...?
I'VE GOT TO KEEP HIM ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW!!!
ARE YOU STILL AROUND THAT DOOR?
OH NO!!! MY BROTHER'S A BAD INFLUENCE!!!
THIS IS WHERE MY BROTHER IS SUPPOSED TO PATROL...
BUT, EVERY TIME I SHOW UP, HE'S SLACKING OFF.
IT'S A GOOD THING I SPOTTED YOU FIRST!
I'M SURE HE WOULD HAVE MADE A WEIRD FIRST IMPRESSION.
IF HE'S NOT AROUND, HE WON'T COME BACK...
THAT'S JUST THE WAY HE FUNCTIONS.
NYEH HEH HEH!! IMPRESSED!?!
NOT ONLY AM I GREAT AT PUZZLES...
BUT I'M ALSO AN ESTEEMED ARCHITECT!!!
MY BROTHER HELPED ME FIND THE BOX!
WE WERE GETTING BORED WAITING FOR YOU...
SO I BUILT A SNOW-PAPYRUS!
AND SANS... DID HIS THING.
ACTUALLY, IT'S ONE OF HIS BETTER LUMPS.
I ALWAYS JUMP OVER THE GAP INSTEAD OF SOLVING THE PUZZLE.
SANS NEVER SOLVES IT EITHER.
HE ALWAYS JUST... UM...
GETS ACROSS.
I THINK HE HAS A SHORTCUT OR SOMETHING.
Hey, I always stay there when I come to Snowdin!
I used to stay at Papyrus's, but...
His couch is like, lumpy and jangly?
And his brother kept making 100's of midnight snacks.
And Papyrus himself doesn't??? Know how to sleep?
Yeah, just sleep here.
GRILLBY'S... IT'S DARK AND FULL OF GREASE.
PURGATORY OF FRIES... HAMBURGER ABYSS...
ANYWAY, MY BROTHER PRACTICALLY LIVES HERE.
I'M NOT COMING TO GRILLBY'S.
GRILLBY'S? WE'RE TOO REFINED FOR THAT GREASEHOLE.
WOAH, if you go, you HAVE to try the cheese fries.
They're AMAZINGLY bad for you!!
Oh, sorry, Papyrus, were you saying something?
JUST MONOLOGUING ABOUT MY LOVE FOR GREASE!!!
OUR FEELINGS FOR GREASE RUN DEEP LIKE A RIVER.
Grease, I...
I... ...
I want you in all my food!!!
YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE. GOOD CHOICE!
THOUGH I GUESS IT'S TECHNICALLY SANS'S HOUSE TOO.
BUT I PREFER NOT TO DISCUSS HIS PART OF IT.
HIS ROOM IS... IT'S LIKE ANOTHER WORLD!
A WORLD WHERE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO VACUUM.
YOU'RE BEST STAYING AWAY FROM THAT STRANGE PLACE.
This is Papyrus's brother's station.
I'm always catching him slacking off, or sleeping...
But his results are JUST good enough to not fire him.
Well, except today.
He didn't tell me ANYTHING about you.
JUST scraping by the bare minimum every time...
I guess it's kind of impressive...?
HUH? MY BROTHER? OF COURSE HE HAS A TELESCOPE.
SANS LOVES OUTER SPACEY SCI-FI STUFF.
HMM? HE NEVER TOLD YOU??
YEAH, SANS NEVER TELLS ANYBODY ANYTHING!
HUH? SANS ISN'T PLAYING WITH HIS TELESCOPE?
WOWIE!!! MAYBE HE WENT TO WORK!!!
WOW!!! AM I ALLOWED TO BE PROUD???
ICE CREAM? THANKS, BUT I LIVE IN SNOWDIN!
THERE'S ICE CREAM ALL OVER THE GROUND!!!
that's called snow.
SANS!!! I DIDN'T ASK YOUR OPINION!!
I'M FLATTERED HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO GIVE ME ICE CREAM.
me too.
NO YOU AREN'T!!
I KNOW WHY YOU CALLED ME.
I ALWAYS MAKE PEOPLE FEEL BETTER...
WHEN THEY'RE DOWN IN THE DUMPS!!!
...
I'VE SPENT TOO LONG WITH MY BROTHER TODAY.
FORGET I SAID THAT.
THESE SNAILS ARE JUST LIKE MY BROTHER.
ROUND, SLOW...
AND CONSTANTLY EMITTING SLIME???
EMITTING SLIME... THAT'S JUST WHAT BROTHERS DO.
ATTENTION EVERYONE! I AM GOING TO OPEN THE FRIDGE!
Do you have a monologue for EVERYTHING?
OH!!! YOU'RE IN HOTLAND NOW!!!
...HEY SANS, AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE THERE?
don't worry. i am.
PHEW!
FINALLY, SANS IS DOING HIS JOB.
I can't believe Papyrus's brother was sleeping!!
I was counting on him to stop you!! UrrrrgHHHH!!!
HE'S GOTTEN REALLY OUT OF SHAPE. HE TIRES EASILY.
LATELY HE'S BEEN NAPPING OVER 7 HOURS A NIGHT...
HE'S NAPPING HIMSELF INTO AN EARLY GRAVE!!
I agree!! Your brother needs to...!
...wait, isn't that just called sleeping?
UNDYNE!! NO!!! NOT YOU TOO!!!
Wait. Papyrus... When do YOU sleep?
I'M USUALLY TOO BUSY TO SLEEP. WHY???
Well, I was just thinking...
If you're not using that cool car bed, can I have it!?
A LAB??? MY BROTHER WOULD LOVE THAT!
HE LOVES SCIENCE FICTION!!
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S REAL.
DID YOU TELL HIM?
HMMM... A MYSTERIOUS SCIENCE HOUSE.
the sign outside says "lab."
LAB?
like... laboratory.
LABRADOR... Y?
DOES THAT MEAN THERE ARE DOGS INSIDE?
i mean.
i wouldn't rule it out.
STRANGE DOG'S HOUSE...
OH NO! THE PUZZLES REACTIVATING...
CAUSED THOSE PEOPLE TO MISS THEIR WORK!?
yep.
that's why i'm missing work, too.
OH MY GOD!!! SANS, GO DO YOUR JOB(S)!!!
GLAD, I DON'T LIVE IN HOTLAND.
me too.
THEN WHY ARE YOU SKIPPING WORK!?!
WHAT? MY BROTHER'S ACTUALLY AT HIS STATION?
BUT SOMEHOW, HE'S SELLING HOTDOGS INSTEAD?
SLACKING OFF BY DOING WORK...
TRULY MY BROTHER IS A MASTER.
NO FURTHER COMMENT.
Where are all these tables coming from?
MAYBE THEY BELONG TO THE MOUSE.
What would a mouse need a table for?
TO PUT THE CHEESE ON.
But where's the cheese come from!?
doesn't it come from milk?
OH MY GOD!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!
WAIT, DOES IT COME FROM MILK??
WAIT, UNDYNE. IF THE R STANDS FOR RED...
WHAT COLOR DOES THE L STAND FOR?
Uhhhh...
Light green.
OH! OF COURSE!
WAIT. ISN'T THAT TWO WORDS?
light sea green.
THREE DOESN'T FIX THE ISSUE!
light sea foam green.
AREN'T YOU WORKING IN THE VERY NEXT ROOM!?
THE ELEVATOR SAYS L3.
BUT WHAT DOES THE L STAND FOR? LUMACONI?
THAT'S THE SNAIL-SHAPED PASTA!
SANS BOUGHT SOME RECENTLY.
HE'LL PROBABLY FILL THEM WITH HOTDOGS AND SLIME.
HEY!! MAYBE HE'LL SHARE SOME WITH YOU!
Papyrus, how can you stand this cold?
I HAVE NO SKIN.
So why don't we stand in Grillby's instead?
BECAUSE I HATE GREASE.
But you don't have a stomach!!
NO, BUT I HAVE STANDARDS!!!
Papyrus...
Why do you live in an icy wasteland?
THE RENT'S CHEAP.
Really? Don't you live in a huge house?
YEAH, BUT MY BROTHER PAYS FOR IT.
Where's your brother get the money to pay for it...?
OH, THAT'S SIMPLE.
IT'S A MYSTERY.
Last Corridor
So you finally made it.
The end of your journey is at hand.
In a few moments, you will meet the king.
Together...
You will determine the future of this world.
That's then.
Now.
You will be judged.
You will be judged for your every action.
You will be judged for every EXP you've earned.
What's EXP?
It's an acronym.
It stands for "execution points."
A way of quantifying the pain you have inflicted on others.
When you kill someone, your EXP increases.
When you have enough EXP, your LOVE increases.
LOVE, too, is an acronym.
It stands for "Level of Violence."
A way of measuring someone's capacity to hurt.
The more you kill, the easier it becomes to distance yourself.
The more you distance yourself, the less you will hurt.
The more easily you can bring yourself to hurt others.
So you finally made it...
Now, you understand.
It's time to begin your judgment.
Look inside yourself.
Have you really done the right thing?
And, considering what you've done...
What will you do now?
Take a moment to think about this.
...but you. you never gained any LOVE.
'course, that doesn't mean you're completely innocent or naive.
just that you kept a certain tenderness in your heart.
no matter the struggles or hardships you faced...
you strived to do the right thing.
you refused to hurt anyone.
even when you ran away, you did it with a smile.
you never gained LOVE, but you gained love.
does that make sense?
maybe not.
...now.
you're about to face the greatest challenge of your entire journey.
your actions here...
will determine the fate of the entire world.
if you refuse to fight...
asgore will take your soul and destroy humanity.
but if you kill asgore and go home...
monsters will remain trapped underground.
what will you do?
well, if i were you, i would have thrown in the towel by now.
but you didn't get this far by giving up, did you?
that's right.
you have something called "determination."
so as long as you hold on...
so as long as you do what's in your heart...
i believe you can do the right thing.
alright.
we're all counting on you, kid.
good luck.
wait a second.
that look on your face while i was talking...
you've already heard my spiel, haven't you?
i suspected something like this.
you're always acting like you know what's going to happen.
like you've seen it all before.
so... i have a request for you.
i kind of have a secret codeword that only i know.
so i know if someone tells it to me...
they'll have to be a time traveller.
crazy, right?
anyway, here it is...
(whisper, whisper)
i'm counting on you to come back here and tell me that.
see you later.
huh? do you have something to say to me?
what? a codeword? can you speak a little louder?
did you...
...just say "i'm a stupid doodoo butt?"
wow. i can't believe you would say that.
not only is that completely infantile...
but it's also my secret codeword.
that, however, isn't good enough.
what you need is the secret secret codeword.
it's only for people that know the secret codeword.
anyway, here it is...
(whimsper, whimsper)...
i'm counting on you to come back here and tell me that.
see you later.
did you...
...just say "i'm the legendary fartmaster?"
wow.
that's... uh... really childish.
why would you think that was a secret secret codeword?
whoever told you that is a dirty liar.
i don't have a secret secret codeword.
however.
i do have a secret secret triple-secret codeword.
which you just said.
so, i guess you're qualified.
here's the key to my room.
it's time...
you learned the truth.
(When you looked, the key was already on your keychain.)
huh? triple secret codeword?
nah, i'm out of material.
(You felt something on your keychain.)
The Truth
Hey, Sans, have you seen my...
OH, HELLO. YOU AREN'T SANS.
WAIT A SECOND.
WHY WERE YOU USING A TREADMILL IN THE DARK?
IS SANS PRANKING YOU ACROSS TIME AND SPACE?
I HATE IT WHEN HE DOES THAT!
HOW IMMATURE CAN YOU GET?
ALSO, HAVE YOU SEEN MY ACTION FIGURES?
WAIT! I KNOW WHERE TO LOOK!
IN MY COLLECTION! NYEH HEH HEH!!!
SOMETIMES, I'M A GENIUS. ALL THE TIME.
(It's a treadmill.)
(There's a message attached.)
"the truth is that you got owned, nerd......"
(It's Sans's dirty sock pile.)
(Sc... scandalous...?)
(It's a worn mattress.)
(The sheets are bunched up in a weird, creasy ball.)
(It's an uncovered pillow.)
(It's a thank-you letter.)
(It's addressed to Santa.)
(Turn it on?)
(Yes)
(There's no lightbulb. A flashlight is stuck in the bulb socket.)
(Turn it on?)
(Yes)
(The flashlight is out of batteries.)
(There's a photo album inside the drawer.)
(There are photos of Sans with a lot of people you don't recognize.)
(... and, one photo of you standing with Sans and all your friends.)
(He looks happy.)
(You look in the drawer.)
(There's some kind of badge.)
(Blueprints.)
(You can't read the symbols they're written in...)
(...or maybe it's just the handwriting.)
(Looks like they related to some kind of strange machine.)
(There's a strange machine behind the curtain.)
(It seems to be broken.)
Neutral Ending
So.
Did you start the Flowey Fan Club?
Ha. I'm just kidding.
I was watching. I know you didn't.
But I don't care. Really.
He probably would have invited his garbage brother.
You know. Smiley trashbag.
...
Say.
If I have ONE piece of advice for you...
DON'T.
Let his brother.
Find out ANYTHING about you.
He'll... well...
Let's just say.
He's caused me more than my fair share of resets.
Stay away from that guy.
The End
hey guys... what's up?
That voice ...!!
Hello, I think we may...
Know each other?
oh hey... i recognize your voice, too.
I am TORIEL.
So nice to meet you.
the name's sans.
and, uh, same.
Oh! Wait, then...!
This must be your brother, Papyrus!
Greetings, Papyrus! It is so nice to finally meet you!
Your brother has told me so much about you.
WOWIE...
I CAN'T BELIEVE ASGORE'S CLONE KNOWS WHO I AM!!!
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!
Hey, Papyrus...
What does a skeleton tile his roof with?
HMMM... SNOW-PROOF ROOF TILES???
No, silly! A skeleton tiles his roof with...
SHIN-gles!!!
I CHANGED MY MIND!!!
THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!
just give up. i did.
why even try?
you'll never see 'em again.
* You told the Lost Soul you'd think about what you'd done.
* It nods solemnly...!
You told the Lost Soul a bad pun about skeletons.
Suddenly, its memories are flooding back!
Seeing how nicely you treated its brother, the other Lost Soul remembers, too!
nah, i'm rootin for ya, kid.
Frisk...
I haven't felt like this for a long time.
As a flower, I was soulless.
I lacked the power to love other people.
However, with everyone's souls inside me...
I not only have my own compassion back...
But I can feel every other monster's as well.
They all care about each other so much.
And... they care about you too, Frisk.
I wish I could tell you how everyone feels about you.
Papyrus... Sans... Undyne... Alphys...
...Toriel.
Monsters are weird.
Even though they barely know you...
It feels like they all really love you.
Haha.
Epilogue
Asgore: Frisk! I just realized!
Asgore: Now that we aren't fighting each other... I can finally ask you...
Asgore: "Would you like a cup of tea?"
Asgore: Would you like a cup of tea?
(No)
Asgore: Oh... Okay.
Undyne: Frisk! Stop! You're breaking his big burly heart!
Asgore: Um, it's OK, Undyne.
Asgore: My heart's already broken.
Undyne: ASGORE! STOP! YOU'RE BREAKING MY BIG BURLY HEART!
Alphys: Y-yeah, Asgore. Don't break Undyne's heart.
Alphys: That's my job.
Undyne: OH MY GOD! YOU'RE GOING BACK IN THE TRASH!!!
Papyrus: CAN I GO IN THE TRASH TOO?
Undyne: Sure, Papyrus.
Sans: guess i have to go in the trash too.
Toriel: Oh, may I enter the trash as well?
Undyne: Uh, okay?
Asgore: Am I invited to the trash?
Undyne: SURE!!! WHY NOT!!!
Toriel: On second thought, do not put me in the trash.
Asgore: Oh...
Undyne: OH MY GOD!!!
Papyrus: SO, ASGORE...
Papyrus: HOW ABOUT MAKING ME A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL GUARD?
Asgore: Well, Papyrus, now that the war is over...
Asgore: We might not need the Royal Guard anymore.
Papyrus: WHAT!?
Papyrus: THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE HUMAN'S QUEST!?
Papyrus: THEY JOURNEYED ALL THAT WAY...
Papyrus: AND I'M STILL NOT A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL GUARD!?
Papyrus: TRULY, THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE ENDING.
Papyrus: IT SEEMS LIKE YOU REALLY BOTCHED YOUR QUEST, FRISK.
Papyrus: BUT, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS...
Papyrus: WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FRIEND!!!
Sans: no matter how hard you try to get rid of him.
Papyrus: HEY!
Papyrus: THAT'S TRUE.
Papyrus: FRISK, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A WALK AROUND?
Sans: frisk, why don't you fly? it's faster.
Papyrus: YEAH, FRISK, WHY DON'T YOU FLY?
Toriel: Hmmm... Flying sounds a little dangerous.
Alphys: But they CAN'T fly.
Undyne: Not with THAT attitude!
Alphys: I sure am excited to finally use the human internet.
Alphys: I bet they have all sorts of things Undyne and I can watch!
Undyne: Oh man!!!
Undyne: We're gonna be able to watch anime online!?
Alphys: Of course, Undyne!
Alphys: What do you think we've been fighting for all along?
Sans: yeah, what do you...
Sans: whoops.
Alphys: Jinx! I knew you were gonna make that joke!
Papyrus: WAIT, ALPHYS, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU KNEW SANS.
Alphys: Well... I...
Sans: doesn't everybody?
Toriel: Who the hell is Sans?
Toriel: ...
Toriel: Who the HECK is Sans?
Alphys: TORIEL!?!?!
Toriel: Hello, Frisk. Alphys upgraded my phone.
Toriel: I am having a lot of fun with the "texting" feature.
Toriel: Sans, "check out" this one.
Sans: oh man, tori...
Sans: that's brutal.
Papyrus: I CAN'T BELIEVE THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED...
Papyrus: AND ALSO THAT SHE'S A HUGE DORK!!!
Papyrus: YOU TWO ARE TWO FEET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!!!
Papyrus: WHY ARE YOU TEXTING!!!
Toriel: Worry not, Papyrus. We are texting for a good reason.
Papyrus: WHY IS THAT.
Sans: well.
Sans: cause we're huge dorks.
Toriel: Sans, please do not say that.
Toriel: You are not a dork.
Toriel: You are more of a bonehead!
Papyrus: HAHAHA, WOW! THOSE PUNS ARE EVEN LESS FUNNY COMING FROM HER!
Sans: then why are you smiling?
Papyrus: IT'S A PITY SMILE!!!
Sans: hey, frisk, what's with that weird expression?
Toriel: Sans, did I tell you about the time Frisk flirted with me...?
Toriel: And then asked to call me "mother?"
Toriel: I felt so embarrassed for them.
Sans: oh boy.
Papyrus: WOW, FRISK... THIS REALLY PUTS OUR RELATIONSHIP IN A NEW LIGHT.
Sans: hey, tori, do you have any other embarrassing stories?
Toriel: Oh, do I ever!
Toriel: But, I think that story is one of the most unbelievable.
Toriel: It is hard to think anyone would want to flirt with me.
Alphys: Ehehe... Ehehehe...
Alphys: AHA! AHAHAH! HA!! HA!!!
Alphys: Oh, Toriel. You have NO idea.
Sans: oh hey, what's up, frisk?we were just talking about you.
Sans: apparently you asked to call tori "mom" right after meeting her?
Toriel: Well, it was not RIGHT after.
Toriel: It took a couple minutes.
Sans: frisk... i gotta tell ya.
Sans: that's, uh, not the best way to get to know someone.
Papyrus: IT'S NOT???
Undyne: Papyrus, we've been over this.
Papyrus: WHATEVER, MOM!!!
Undyne: Don't talk back to me like that!
Undyne: Go to your room, Papyrus!
Papyrus: OK, UNDYNE.
Undyne: Wait! Don't ACTUALLY go to your room!!
Papyrus: I'M GETTING MIXED MESSAGES HERE!!!
Sans: frisk, tori was telling me how she made b'scotch pie for you.
Toriel: Oh, I should bake it for everyone sometime!
Alphys: (O-oh, that sounds REALLY good.)
Papyrus: COOKING???
Papyrus: CAN I HELP?
Undyne: Wait a second!!!
Undyne: Can I help too!?
Toriel: Certainly! It would be fun to cook together!
Alphys: (On second thought, maybe I'll o-order a pizza.)
sorry... i don't have time to talk, frisk.
i'm supposed to be working right now.
BUT YOU AREN'T WORKING!!!
i know, and it's taking all my concentration.
Dear Frisk,
Sans and Alphys are teaching me how to text. I am learning so much.
For example: Do you know what a "smiley" is?
Please look at this:
]: )
Now turn your head to the left.
It is a picture of me smiling at you! Can you see it?
L-O-L! (That stands for Lots of Laughter.)
Sincerely, Toriel
Dear Frisk,
How are you? You have been wandering around for quite some time now.
I hope you are not getting into trouble.
Only kidding. L-O-L!
Sincerly, Toriel
PS - Do not get into trouble.
Excuse me,
I did not mean to write "sincerly." I meant to say "sincerely."
It is difficult to use this with large hands.
Perhaps I should ask Sans to transcribe for me.
Sans will be typing from now on.
hey frisk. it's torrrrrieellll
i just baked 1000000 pies. do you want any?
make sure to brush your teeth before crossing the street, frisk
I did not say any of that.
Greetings. This is Sans. I love my brother very much.
help im being slandered
This is Sans. Frisk, did you know that I love to "get owned?"
I also think Toriel is very good and fhfjkehfeaufsisf
Excuse me
.
(TORIEL sent you a message titled "Cat Video.")
(Inside, she meticulously describes a video she saw of a small, white animal.)
(There is no link or attachment to watch it.)
Fwd: send this 2 some1 u care about... or a skeleton will rattle his bones at u
Thought you might enjoy this. ]: )
(It's ASCII art of a snail.)
Undyne and Papyrus want to cook something together with me.
Sans is telling me that they are excellent chefs.
I am excited. ]: ) Maybe if you are lucky, you can have some!
If Sans and I started a band, do you know what we could call it?
"Dreemurr" and "Femur." L-O-L!
PS - That is only a joke. Do not refer to me as Dreemurr.
Undyne is very strong.
Papyrus made a bet with her that she could not lift everyone here up.
She could.
The only trouble is that she did not know how to put everyone down.
Alphys is telling me many interesting facts about the human world.
Quite a few of them are wrong, though.
Frisk, you did not tell her anything funny, did you? ]: )
I heard that using the computer for too long is bad for you.
However, I have not seen you use the computer at all.
You must be very healthy! How nice.
I think I may have to turn off the phone for now.
Your friends are all very lovely people!
I think I will spend this time getting to know them better.
Be good, alright?
Sincerely, Toriel.
Alphys: Wow... it's e-even better than on TV.
Undyne: WAY better! Better than I ever imagined! Frisk, you LIVE with this!? The sunlight is so nice... and the air is so fresh! I really feel alive!
Papyrus: HEY SANS... WHAT'S THAT GIANT BALL?
Sans: we call that "the sun," my friend.
Papyrus: THAT'S THE SUN!? WOWIE!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FINALLY MEETING THE SUN!!!
Neutral Route
truthfully, it doesn't really matter what you said.
all that's important is that you were honest with yourself.
what happens now...
we leave up to you.
huh? you look bored.
i get the feeling you aren't gonna learn anything from this.
well, guess I gotta judge you then.
lv2... seems like you messed up the slightest amount.
welp. that's pretty sad.
you probably weren't even aware of what you were doing...
and when you learned, it was too late.
nah, just kidding.
who gets to lv2 on accident? get outta here.
lv3...
3's just an ok number, i guess.
i'll give you a C+.
you can do better, right?
hmmm... over lv3, huh.
you killed some people on purpose, didn't you?
that's probably bad.
though, maybe some of it was in self- defense...
i don't know. help me out here.
i wasn't watching.
anyways, don't do that.
hmmm... over lv9, huh.
that's over halfway to lv20, the maximum.
but don't think that means you're still 50- percent good.
50-percent, 20-percent.
those are both still failing grades.
besides. chances are...
i've already tried to steer you in the right direction.
so what can i say?
what can i say that will change the mind of a being like you...?
hmmm... over lv14, huh.
well, hmmm... judgment-wise...
you're a pretty bad person.
you wander around, looking for people...
killing them to take their money.
that's just plain messed up.
and what's worse, is that as bad as you are...
you aren't anywhere near as bad as you could be.
you pretty much suck at being evil.
honestly, it's super embarrassing.
but maybe you'd be better...
at not killing anyone?
crazy idea, huh?
let me know how that one goes.
...huh?
what's with that look in your eye?
did you go through and kill someone...
just to see what i'd say about it?
wow.
you're a pretty gross person, huh?
huh? you STILL look bored.
okay then, consider our session over.
That lady over there seems happy today.
Don't know why, but it's sending shivers down my spine...
Ah, it's so peaceful and quiet...
Usually one of the skeletons chases my little Cinnamon around.
That's strange. There was a present here for Papyrus...
Now it's gone. Did someone steal it?
Hmmm, usually that skeleton goes to meet with Undyne about now.
Where is he...? I can feel our political system crumbling apart...
It just feels like... Like everything is getting worse and worse.
Just now, I felt my smile falter for a moment.
What's wrong?
I've sent the kids inside.
It feels unsafe here today.
H-hey, isn't Sansy s'posed to come swinging in here right about now???
C'mon Sansy! You're the life of the party...
Hmm, this is around the time that Sans comes in.
Then, a little bit later, his brother comes in, irritated.
Yes, his brother. Papyrus.
He's an interesting fellow.
He always orders a glass of milk.
He says it's "full of strong bones."
Hope he shows up today.
The capital's getting pretty crowded, so I've heard they're going to start moving here.
...who knows. Maybe we'll have room.
Where's Sans... He's supposed to give me a pat on the head...
(Where are those skeletons?) (I wanted to get a bone from them...)
Papyrus? Is that you? Come on...
Where the heck is Sans?
He told me he had some bait I could use.
Though it was probably some kind of prank.
But I wanted to know what the prank was!
Grillby is getting nervous.
Sans is his best customer, and he hasn't shown up at all today...
* A hooded figure watches the commotion from afar.
...
Forget it.
Look.
Papyrus didn't come to his meeting today.
Say what you want about him.
He's weird, he's naive, he's self-absorbed...
But Papyrus has NEVER missed a meeting.
And no matter what time you call him on the phone...
Night, day, afternoon, morning...
He ALWAYS answers within the first two rings.
But now he's gone.
And his brother isn't around, either.
...
What did you do to him?
What did you DO TO HIM?
Papyrus, who I have trained every day...
Even though I KNOW he's too goofy to ever hurt anyone...
Go ahead. Prepare however you want.
But when you step forward...
I will KILL you.
truthfully, it doesn't really matter what you said.
all that's important is that you were honest with yourself.
what happens now...
we leave up to you.
though...
one thing about you always struck me as kinda odd.
now, i understand acting in self-defense.
you were thrown into those situations against your will.
but...
sometimes...
you act like you know what's gonna happen.
like you've already experienced it all before.
this is an odd thing to say, but...
if you have some sort of special power...
isn't it your responsibility to do the right thing?
(Yes)
ah.
i see.
...
Then why'd you kill my brother?
(No)
heh.
well, that's your viewpoint.
i won't judge you for it.
...
You dirty brother killer.
An Ending
so she went back to the ruins.
but hey! it's not all bad!
she's not so lonely anymore.
me and papyrus go and visit her...
we bring her books from the library, or play games...
we've even convinced her to leave sometimes.
as long as me or papyrus stay behind to watch for humans.
but papyrus loves doing that.
YEAH!!! I LOVE STANDING IN FOR THE QUEEN!!!
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING FOR WHEN A HUMAN COMES.
I'M GOING TO BE A GREAT MOM!!!
BY THE WAY, WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?
oh, nobody.
OH, COOL. TELL THEM I SAY HI!!!
papyrus says hi.
well, i hope things are better where you are.
later.
HEY!!! IT'S ME, PAPYRUS!!
IMAGINE ME WEARING COOL GLASSES, AND A SUIT.
AND IMAGINE SANS WEARING SUNGLASSES BEING A BOUNCER.
THAT'S OUR LIFE... IT'S SO COOL!!!
THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WAY BETTER SINCE YOU CAME HERE!!!
WELL, MINUS THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING SUCKS...
FOR ANYONE THAT DOESNT WORSHIP METTATON.
AND MINUS THE FACT THAT MY FRIEND UNDYNE IS MISSING.
WHO KNOWS WHERE SHE WENT.
SHE NEVER LIKED METTATON'S SHOW.
PEOPLE WHO DON'T TEND TO KIND OF...
DISAPPEAR.
I MISS HER A LOT SOMETIMES.
IF YOU SEE HER, CAN YOU TELL HER I SAID HI?
THANKS! SEE YOU LATER!
so.. it's been a while.
since you left...
things have gotten really strange.
overnight, a bunch of people mysteriously disappeared.
as well as the human souls.
people were heart-broken. everyone they looked up to...
everything they were relying on, in one night, disappeared.
everyone clamored to elect a new ruler as fast as possible.
so, uh... by process of elimination...
papyrus became the ruler?
why doesn't he talk to you about this...
HELLO!!! HUMAN!!!
IT'S STRANGE.
ASGORE, ALPHYS, METTATON, AND UNDYNE WENT AWAY.
SANS SAYS THEY WENT ON VACATION.
I HOPE THEY'RE HAVING FUN!!!
OH YEAH.
I'M THE RULER OF THE UNDERGROUND NOW!!!
EVERYTHING IS IMPROVING A LOT HERE.
PRODUCTIVITY IS UP!
BECAUSE I TELL EVERYONE TO KEEP WORKING.
AND, NO ONE GOES HUNGRY!!!
BECAUSE I COOK EVERYONE SPAGHETTI.
MEANWHILE, MY BROTHER HANDLES THE PAPERWORK.
STRANGELY... HE SEEMS TO BE WORKING HARD?
THIS SOUNDS MESSED UP... BUT...
I'M PROUD... OF HIM???
OH NO!!!!
AS FOR OUR HUMAN POLICY...
WE'VE DECIDED, UM.
SANS, WHAT WAS IT?
we can't judge humans to be all good or all bad.
RIGHT! SO IT'S CASE-BY-CASE!
IF THEY'RE EVIL... WE GIVE THEM PUZZLES!
IF THEY'RE GOOD... WE ALSO GIVE THEM PUZZLES!
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE BEST WAY!
IS SANS GONE?
YOU KNOW...
DON'T TELL MY BROTHER, BUT...
DESPITE THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE MADE...
SOMETIMES THIS JOB IS KIND OF HARD.
SINCE THE KING WENT AWAY...
LOTS OF PEOPLE JUST WANT TO GIVE UP.
SOMETIMES, EVEN MY BEST ENCOURAGEMENT...
DOESN'T WORK.
AND, AND, I MISS UNDYNE, TOO.
SHE NEVER ANSWERS MY PHONE CALLS...
SHE MUST BE HAVING A LOT OF FUN ON VACATION.
I JUST WISH SHE'D SEND A POSTCARD.
BUT HEY!!!
I WON'T GIVE UP!
I CAN'T GIVE UP!
I HAVE TO MAKE EVERYONE GIVE UP GIVING UP!
WE'LL GET OUT OF HERE, SLOWLY!!!
THEN WE CAN ALL HANG OUT AGAIN!!!
NYEH HEH HEH!!!
because of you, not only was the king gone...
but the human souls had gone missing as well...
along with the life of...
...
nobody wanted to see that happen ever again.
when the queen went back to the ruins...
i decided to go with her.
and i took out some books from the library, too.
so she won't have to read the same ones.
she's a good roomie. we have a lot of fun.
you know.
sometimes the queen talks about...
how she'd like to see you again.
isn't that nice?
i don't have the heart to tell her what you did.
do you know how she'd react?
if i told her that 'cause she protected you...
...you went on to kill my brother...?
anyway, never come back here.
you are not welcome.
it's been a while, huh?
things have gotten pretty bad here.
everyone considered a leader disappeared overnight.
it's gotten so quiet.
there's a bad feeling hanging over everyone.
like everyone's just going to die here, trapped in the dark...
...i bet you're wondering why i'm not the ruler.
eh.
i'm not cut out for something like that.
i like to take it easy, you know?
...that's a joke.
this is what happens when people like me take it easy.
hey, at least things are less crowded.
'cause of all the people you killed.
hope that was a good experience for you.
just kidding. i don't really hope that.
go to hell.
God... I miss everyone.
Now that they're gone, it...
It feels so clear what I should have done.
What I should have said.
Undyne... Asgore...
Mettaton...
At least Sans is still here.
He's... He's a good guy. And with him around...
I...
Sigh.
You know. Just daydreaming here. But...
I really should have killed you when I had the chance.
No Mercy Snowdin
Human.
Don't you know how to greet a new pal?
Turn around and shake my hand.
heheh... the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick.
it's ALWAYS funny.
...
that's, uh. your cue to laugh.
or, uh, to emote at all...?
...
(gee, lady, you really know how to pick 'em, huh...?)
OK, that's fine. everyone's got their own sense of humor.
i'm sans. sans the skeleton.
im actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now.
but... y'know...
i dont really care about capturing anybody.
now my brother, papyrus...
he's a human-hunting FANATIC.
hey, actually, that's him over there.
i have an idea. go through this gate thingy.
yeah, go right through. my bro made the bars too wide to stop anyone.
quick, behind that conveniently-shaped lamp.
...
uh, ok, i guess you don't have to.
Sans!!! Have you found a human yet!??!
yeah.
REALLY!?!? WOWIE!!!
GUESS THAT'S SETTLED!!
that worked out, huh?
...are you just gonna stare at me, or...?
well, i'll be straight-forward with you.
my brother'd really like to see a human...
so, y'know, it'd really help me out...
if you kept pretending to be one.
So Sans! When's the human showing up???I WANT TO LOOK MY SUNDAY BEST...
OR AT LEAST MY TUESDAY PRETTY-GOOD.
don't you only have one outfit?
YEAH, BUT I COULD STYLE MY HAIR!
oh. right. good idea.
say, why don't you look over there?
SANS!!! OH MY GOD!!!!
I'M DIZZY. WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?
behold.
OH MY GOD!!!
WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME TO LOOK AT A ROCK.
hey, what's that in front of the rock?
OH MY GOD!!!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS.
well. it's not a rock.
NOT A ROCK...?
OH NO!!! BY PROCESS OF ELIMINATION!!!
THAT MEANS IT'S A HUMAN!!!
AHEM!! HUMAN!!
PREPARE YOURSELF!! FOR HIGH JINKS! FOR LOW JINKS!
DANGERS! PUZZLES! CAPERS! JAPERS!
BEING CAPTURED! AND OTHER SORTS OF FUN ACTIVITIES.
REFRESHMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED...
IF YOU DARE!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!
...and you don't even bat an eye, huh?
[He leaves the same way Papyrus went, no hanging around.]
You're so lazy!!!
You were napping all night!!!
i think that's called...
sleeping.
EXCUSES, EXCUSES!
Oh-ho! The human arrives!
IN ORDER TO STOP YOU...
MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES!
I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE...
Quite shocking!!!
FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS... THE, INVISIBLE...
UHHHHHHH...?
HMMM... YOU MUST BE HAVING CULTURE SHOCK.
YOU SEE, WHERE I COME FROM, IT'S A LOVING TRADITION.
TO SUFFER THROUGH HORRIBLE PUZZLES FOR NO REASON.
So, uh, just walk back there, and...
...
SIGH...
WHY COULDN'T WE GET A HUMAN THAT LIKES PUZZLES???
it would make my brother happy if you played along.
[He stays in the area to repeat the line this time. (The next puzzle up is his...)]
Human!!! I hope you're ready for...
SANS!! WHERE'S THE PUZZLE!!!
it's right there. on the ground.
trust me. there's no way they'll skip this one.
Sans!!! That did nothing!!!
whoops.
knew i should have put down junior jumble instead.
WHAT?!? JUNIOR JUMBLE!?
FINALLY, SOMETHING WE CAN BOTH AGREE ON.
guess you don't like word searches, huh?
me neither. i'm more of a funny pages kind of guy.
...
... [He looks off to the side only at the second pause.]
Hey!
It's the human!
You're gonna love this puzzle!
IT WAS MADE BY THE GREAT...
...ARE YOU SERIOUS?
SANS!!! HELP!!!
THEY KEEP WALKING THROUGH MY PUZZLES!
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO LET ME EXPLAIN THEM.
THEN THREATEN AND BAFFLE THEM WITH DANGEROUS JAPES.
well, maybe they don't like japes.
Everyone likes japes!!!
what about undyne? doesn't she hate puzzles?
She hates puzzles. But she loves japes.
that makes sense.
HUMAN!! WHAT DO YOU THINK!?
PUZZLES OR JAPES?
...
...
OKAY, THIS IS NORMALLY THE PART.
WHERE YOU EITHER AGREE OR DISAGREE.
AND DEPENDING ON YOUR ANSWER.
WE SAY SOMETHING GREAT IN RESPONSE.
...
HERE, WHY DON'T YOU DO THIS PUZZLE YOURSELF.
hey... puzzles might be fun. if you tried them.
[Like normal, appearing on both sides of the screen (though note timing) -]
what's up?
say...
are you following me?
that, uh, doesn't look very activated.
Well!!!
...THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO WALK THROUGH IT.
AND IT WON'T BE ANY FUN AT ALL.
hmmm... so this human thing was a bust, huh?
WELL. I MEAN. I'M EXCITED TO CAPTURE THEM.
SO I'LL BECOME A FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN!!!
BUT ALL THE TIME I PUT INTO THESE PUZZLES...
IT'S KIND OF LIKE THROWING A BIRTHDAY PARTY...
without traps and fire?
EXACTLY!! IT'S POINTLESS!!!
MAYBE YOU WERE RIGHT TO BE LAZY ABOUT PUZZLES.
me? right about something? really?
...
YEAH!! WHAT AM I SAYING!
YOU'RE STILL COMPLETELY WRONG!
I JUST HAVE THE WRONG AUDIENCE!
THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH FUN UNDYNE WOULD HAVE HERE!
FLAMES. VIOLENCE. IT'S RIGHT UP HER ALLEY!
SO I WON'T WASTE THIS PUZZLE ON YOU.
I JUST HAVE TO APPRECIATE...
THE FRIEND I ALREADY HAVE!!!
Phew!
A valuable life lesson!!!
Nyeh heh heh!!! [He just leaves.]
hmmm...
guess we didn't need your help to have a good time after all.
...
say, i've been thinking.
seems like you're gonna fight my brother pretty soon.
here's some friendly advice.
if you keep going the way you are now...
...
you're gonna have a bad time.
* (That comedian...)
Halt, human!
Hey, quit moving while I'm talking to you!
I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE SOME THINGS TO SAY.
FIRST: YOU'RE A FREAKING WEIRDO!
NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT LIKE PUZZLES.
BUT THE WAY YOU SHAMBLE ABOUT FROM PLACE TO PLACE...
THE WAY YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS COVERED IN DUSTY POWDER.
IT FEELS...
LIKE YOUR LIFE IS GOING DOWN A DANGEROUS PATH.
HOWEVER!
I, PAPYRUS, SEE GREAT POTENTIAL WITHIN YOU!
EVERYONE CAN BE A GREAT PERSON IF THEY TRY!
AND ME, I HARDLY HAVE TO TRY AT ALL!!!
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!
Hey, quit moving!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!
HUMAN! I THINK YOU ARE IN NEED OF GUIDANCE!
SOMEONE NEEDS TO KEEP YOU ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW!
BUT WORRY NOT! I, PAPYRUS...
WILL GLADLY BE YOUR FRIEND AND TUTOR!
I WILL TURN YOUR LIFE RIGHT AROUND!!!
I see you are approaching.
ARE YOU OFFERING A HUG OF ACCEPTANCE?
WOWIE!! MY LESSONS ARE ALREADY WORKING!!
I, PAPYRUS, WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS!
W-Well, that's not what I expected...
BUT...
ST... STILL! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
YOU CAN DO A LITTLE BETTER!
EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK SO!
I... I PROMISE...
No Mercy Last Corridor
heya.
you've been busy, huh?
...
so, i've got a question for ya.
do you think even the worst person can change...?
that everybody can be a good person, if they just try?
heh heh heh heh...
all right.
well, here's a better question.
do you wanna have a bad time?
'cause if you take another step forward...
you are REALLY not going to like what happens next.
welp.
sorry, old lady.
this is why i never make promises.
heya.
you look frustrated about something.
guess i'm pretty good at my job, huh?
hmm. that expression...
that's the expression of someone who's died twice in a row.
suffice to say, you look really... unsatisfied.
all right.
how 'bout we make it a third?
hmm. that expression...
that's the expression of someone who's died thrice in a row.
...
hey, what comes after "thrice," anyway?
wanna help me find out?
hmm. that expression...
that's the expression of someone who's died quice in a row.
quice? frice?
welp, won't have to use it again anyways.
that expression that you're wearing...
...
well, i won't grace it with a description.
let's just get to the point.
it's a beautiful day outside.
birds are singing, flowers are blooming...
on days like these, kids like you...
Should be burning in hell.
huh.
always wondered why people never use their strongest attack first.
* You feel like you're going to have a bad time.
* You felt your sins crawling on your back.
anyway, as i was saying, it's a nice day out.
why not relax and take a load off?
here we go.
what? you think i'm just gonna stand there and take it?
our reports showed a massive anomaly in the timespace continuum.
timelines jumping left and right, stopping and starting...
until suddenly, everything ends.
heh heh heh...
that's your fault, isn't it?
you can't understand how this feels.
knowing that one day, without any warning...
it's all going to be reset.
look. i gave up trying to go back a long time ago.
and getting to the surface doesn't really appeal anymore, either.
cause even if we do...
we'll just end up right back here, without any memory of it, right?
to be blunt...
it makes it kind of hard to give it my all.
...or is that just a poor excuse for being lazy...?
hell if i know.
all i know is... seeing what comes next...
i can't afford to not care anymore.
ugh... that being said...
you, uh, really like swinging that thing around, huh?
...
listen.
i know you didn't answer me before, but...
somewhere in there. i can feel it.
there's a glimmer of a good person inside of you.
the memory of someone who once wanted to do the right thing.
someone who, in another time, might have even been...
a friend?
c'mon, buddy.
do you remember me?
please, if you're listening...
let's forget all this, ok?
just lay down your weapon, and...
well, my job will be a lot easier.
woah, you look REALLY pissed off...
heheheh...
did i getcha?
well, if you came back anyway...
i guess that means we never really WERE friends, huh?
heh.
don't tell that to the other sans-es, ok?
sounds strange, but before all this i was secretly hoping we could be friends.
i always thought the anomaly was doing this cause they were unhappy.
and when they got what they wanted, they would stop all this.
and maybe all they needed was... i dunno.
some good food, some bad laughs, some nice friends.
but that's ridiculous, right?
yeah, you're the type of person who won't EVER be happy.
you'll keep consuming timelines over and over, until...
well.
hey.
take it from me, kid.
someday...
you gotta learn when to QUIT.
and that day's TODAY.
cause... y'see...
all this fighting is really tiring me out.
and if you keep pushing me...
then i'll be forced to use my special attack.
yeah, my special attack. sound familiar?
well, get ready. cause after the next move, i'm going to use it.
so, if you don't wanna see it, now would be a good time to die.
well, here goes nothing...
are you ready?
survive THIS, and i'll show you my special attack!
huff... puff...
all right. that's it.
it's time for my special attack.
are you ready?
here goes nothing.
yep.
that's right.
it's literally nothing.
and it's not gonna be anything, either.
heh heh heh... ya get it?
i know i can't beat you.
one of your turns...
you're just gonna kill me.
so, uh.
i've decided...
it's not gonna BE your turn. ever.
i'm just gonna keep having MY turn until you give up.
even if it means we have to stand here until the end of time.
capiche?
you'll get bored here.
if you haven't gotten bored already, i mean.
and then, you'll finally quit.
i know your type.
you're, uh, very determined, aren't you?
you'll never give up, even if there's, uh...
absolutely NO benefit to persevering whatsoever.
if i can make that clear.
no matter what, you'll just keep going.
not out of any desire for good or evil...
but just because you think you can.
and because you "can"...
...you "have to."
but now, you've reached the end.
there is nothing left for you now.
so, uh, in my personal opinion...
the most "determined" thing you can do here?
is to, uh, completely give up.
and... (yawn) do literally anything else.
heh, didja really think you would be able
(FIGHT)
...
...
...
so...
guess that's it, huh?
...
just...
don't say i didn't warn you.
welp.
i'm going to grillby's.
papyrus, do you want anything?

undertale
important info
heard through a grape vine that some people said undertale contains some prejudiced things. that’s… uh… pretty much untrue. anyone that’s played the game could tell you that. and in the case that anyone does have a real bone to pick, no one’s approached us with a single problem. strange, huh?
it’s not good to spread lies. trust me. i’ve been slandered before. rumors spread of me being a “big noob.” after that, i had to stand in the rain in that cool way where you can’t tell if i’m crying, or if it’s just water. she tried to call me back, but it was too late: i was already owned.
it’s not good to dismiss people, either. i mean, even the person who posted the lies shouldn’t be written off as a “bad person.” something in their life led them to this point, you know? just remember: there’s a difference between protecting your friends and destroying someone for your own justice. for honesty’s sake, investigate the truth for yourself, then ask: how is this going to help people?
besides, it’s rude to talk about people that are listening, right? not everyone is as tough as my brother.
anyway, here’s the important info: uhhh… about shyren’s lower body. doing some research might help you. but i won’t blame you if you dont. they say those without blame should cast the first stone. but… my stone’s covered in sprinkles. so, actually, keep doing whatever you want, kid.
Q: Sans, could you make a joke?
i don’t make jokes.
