[Ah, if only to see his expression right now- what a waste. This joke could have kept going for far longer than it had.

But good information is good information. The names mentioned in this conversation thus far? They don't add up. It takes a few moments to make a decision; a few more to respond.]


Oh, you know me! Just using a little time I've saved for you.

Flower you, sunshine? I've got another great joke here; it's sure to be a real hoot at parties.

[punful]

heh. i'm kinda surprised you contacted me at all. but i guess you couldn't pass up an opportunity to try and rattle my bones.

[He wonders if this is significant. If maybe the flower was waiting for the "right time," in some sense. If maybe this is the start of some scheme or something.]

[Ah well. No point in thinking too hard about it. Maybe the flower just got bored.]

i think jokes are my job, buddy.

[buildmeup]

Why wouldn't I contact a pal? It's been so long since I've heard all about you, Sans- every little secret.

Did you forget?

[Haha.]

Trust me, you want to hear this one.

[punful]

[He knows, objectively, that before Frisk came along, there was the flower. The flower doing over and over what Frisk (and Chara) did over and over. But those timelines are even harder to remember. Something must have changed when Frisk fell--a real True Reset or something.]

every secret? heh. i dunno about that.

[There's always one or two or several things he keeps hidden.]

alright, i'll humor you. whatever gets us to the root of the issue sooner.

[buildmeup]

I would.

[They'll have to compare notes, sometime. See exactly where they match up. Of course, that had the potential to get pretty

dark.

As it is, he's gotten all he needs from him without making his interests apparent. Now for the puncline.]

An existential nihilist walks into a bar. He orders ketchup.

I'd tell you the rest of the joke- but none of it really matters, does it?

[punful]

man. that's a pretty bad punchline. i don't try for much, but i do try for good punchlines.

[buildmeup]

Oh well. Story of your life.

How are you enjoying Wonderland, so far? I see you've been making new pals!

[punful]

it's a real land of wonders, isn't it?

[buildmeup]

It sure is! You've even found a new name to pin everything on.

[punful]

have i?

[buildmeup]

[A lull, between replies. Maybe Flowey just needed a moment to think.

Haha.]


Chara, right?

I'll have to say hello. A friend of a friend!

[punful]

well. if someone was gonna use loads to mess with me, i figured it would be them. you seem like the more subtle type, i guess. careful and all. getting everyone to the castle at the same time, that must have taken some planning, yeah?

how do you know chara?

[buildmeup]

So now I'm getting the blame for that one, too? That was all on your brother.

[And his obedience.]


You just told me about them. Forget already?

[punful]

yeah. who you'd been talking to all that time. you know, one of these days i'd love to hear about whatever you two were talking about.

[He pauses. Did...he? He can't remember. And when was that? The flower probably Loaded over it, and Sans can't remember what was said.]

pretty sure i didn't.

[He can't know for sure, but he can guess.]

[buildmeup]

Why don't you ask him! I've missed our little chats together, Papyrus and me... who knows?

He might find something new to tell you, real soon.

[C'mon Sans, try to be a little more astute. Sometimes genius could be just as dangerous to a person as stupidity.]

You did! "Deja", I said. "Chara?", you questioned.

Looks like your brother isn't the only one worth a visit.

[punful]

[Well, shit.]

trust me, you wanna stay away from papyrus.

and you really wanna stay away from chara.

[buildmeup]

See, that's the thing.

I really don't.

[punful]

just some friendly advice.
