spaghettimonster: (I HAVE ONLY GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.)
How's My Driving?
Here's the post to bring thoughts and concerns about how I'm playing Papyrus.

Whether you have concerns about how my characterization matches canon, or concerns about my play style or OOC conduct, links or screenshots where possible are a great help. I'm more likely to understand your concerns and improve upon them if I have something to refer back to.

I've got screening enabled so we can talk privately, and anon off so we can have a conversation about it. If you prefer anonymity, feel free to make a complete throwaway sock account (with eighty underscores and random numbers and all) before commenting. I want to be sure that you have the option to see and respond to any clarifying questions, and quite frankly I don't feel like letting complete anons roam around with criticism. We've got comms for that.

ANON: OFF
SCREENING: ON
IP-LOGGING: OFF

If you're curious to see how I've been handling Papyrus so far, this post keeps track of my threads. They're sorted by category (memes vs games) and grouped into comments by time period!

TDM #12, Fall
- Visiting the docks (Zivia Birnbaum and Captain Royal Dominguez)
- Festivals and Potlucks (Mettaton)
- Haunted House (Dr. James Harvey)
- Rebuilding Efforts * (Lorelei)
- Rebuilding Efforts * (Artemy)
- Rebuilding Efforts (Leon)
What did your character do this month?: Papyrus arrived sometime mid-month (time is soup), and got to work rebuilding houses, being eaten by a house, eating various festival foods, and exploring in some forests! So far he's run into Mettaton around town...


TMA October Fearfest
- THE STRANGER (Felix, sorta)
- THE STRANGER ("Namu" - Marik)
- THE WEB (Mettaton)
- THE FLESH * (Kabru)
- THE DARK * (Wilson)
- THE BURIED (Cassandra de Rolo)
What did your character do this month?: Earlier on, he enjoyed the festivals, met a few people in the course of working his job, taking a break from his job, and being eaten/kidnapped by a house from his job! Zivia broke the news that she's been here over a year, Mettaton broke the news it's been a couple months and also they didn't disappear at the same time. Lorelei and Artemy both enlisted the skeleton's help in various repair work, while Leon took to Papyrus's carpentry tutelage. During the housenapping, Dr. Harvey tried to help them escape the house, and probably didn't even inflict surprise therapy on Papyrus.

Later on, Halloween Event :) Papyrus came to in the Stranger's territory, confused first by fake-Sans figures and later by his own identity confusion. He sought info from library books, then sought the train to safety only to get waylaid into the woods, finally stumbling his way through the dark into caves far less friendly than those underground... Cassandra at least insisted the surface world hadn't been a dream.


November
- Sending stone after revival and returning home, a day and change's delay after October's end (Mettaton)
- Spa day! (Mettaton)
(I forgot to write an activity summary, so: probably a lot of emotional recovery, some physical recovery stymied by a demanding job he's kinda regretting, and the start of looking into Other Job Options.)


TDM #13, Winter
- Winter Market and career prospects * (Batter)
- Winter Market and reunion (Namu - Marik)
- Kesapasa (Ashley)
- Heinrich Unheimlich and professional advice (Dr. Harvey)
- Heinrich Unheimlich and stabbing advice (Artemy)


Givingstide, December
- Gift exchange and chatting (Cassandra)
- Gift exchange and chatting (Fever)
- Givingstide and cultural differences (Zack Fair)

- Calloway's Emporium (and a familiar Jogboy shirt) Calloway
Papyrus continued his laborer work, but put most of his spare time into craft and reading. Specifically, making a couple artistic gifts for people like Mettaton and Cassandra, a few artworks for his own enjoyment, and then frequenting the library to begin learning all about agriculture.

(Years underground did not prepare one for the variety of effects weather and sunlight can have on plants, after all.)


Kadath, January
- Ballroom masquerade - dance (Cassandra)
- Garden flowers (Zivia)
- Banquet feast - red meat (Leon)
- Bedroom balcony - exploring (Sephiroth)
- Banquet feast - red apples (Capochin)
- Ballroom masquerade (Mettaton)

What did your character do this month?: Papyrus struggled with a persistent haunted stuffed rabbit and sought help about it, met a few new faces around the market place, found his own used shirt in a store, and generally had an entertaining but nightmarish time in the nightmare castle.
He also continued looking into what sorts of things need doing around the island that he'd find both fulfilling and challenging, and concluded he'd like to take up something agricultural come spring. Assignment specifics to be determined, for now he's studying up on soil, planting schedules, livestock care, and the like while it's still cold out.


Merrymeet, February
- Surprise hug and congratulations? (Radar O'Reilly)
- Surprise collision and spilled tea * (Erik Lehnsherr)
- Gazebo mischief possibilities (Gwen Stacey)
- Invigorating green: offers to spar, albeit more with weapons and dodging than with magic (Aloy)

In continuing Kadath threads, Papyrus attended a few dances in the ballroom (with Cassandra and Mettaton and a mix of threatening energies to the crowd each time), tried climbing up the building as a search for a way out but ended up exploring with Sephiroth instead, tried getting edible food from the dining room but met with failure in both Leon and Capochin's presences, and sought an escape from the mesmerizing garden with Zivia.
In Feburary itself, Papyrus attended Merrymeet, applauding particularly loudly at court members he recognized, and mostly got up to daintily tasting food and having some fun tea-influenced experiences. More updates on this with next AC!
Offscreen, he continued learning the ins and outs of all sorts of agricultural things, and has probably been up to some handwaved training on some of the existing farms.

CROSSING DEVELOPMENTS


  • Arrived while they were in the Desert

  • Wraiths are Aware of him: Ventured outside the light in the initial tour / explanations of their circumstances

  • Woke without his name - soon started a list of name suggestions and rules for giving suggestions

    NAME SUGGESTIONS (updated: 5/1)


  • THE GREAT SKELETON
  • Watson - (Dankovsky)
  • Yamabuki - (Yashiro)
  • Anatomical Model - (Sakuya)
  • Second-In-Command - (Hanako)
  • Spicy Bones - (Sunny)


    MEMORIES LOST


  • "Papyrus," any nicknames derived from his name, and any other names he might ever have had, are all very specifically redacted from his recollection. He remembers himself, he remembers other people and their names, but his own name is just gone.
      If reminded of his name by someone in game who knows him, he'll hear it, but it won't spark any recollection or familiarity, and it'll fade from his memory again after maybe a few minutes.

      Forms of address like 'bro', and his self-declared title of 'THE GREAT --', are still rattling around in his head where he can access them.

      New nicknames given by others in the game may stick enough for him to at least recognize them as addressing him - TBD


    CONTEXT


  • Route: Pacifist (post-completed genocide / bargain), with humoring over the puzzles, a hangout rather than a date, plenty of monologues at the human over the phone.

  • Ending: Frisk doesn't move in with Toriel, Papyrus becomes ambassador. ~12 weeks of time on the surface, involving a number of startled / alarmed reactions to Suddenly, Skeleton, to the information spreading and things growing a little more political about it all. How much he was still effectively mascot vs involved in the decisions, unclear!

  • Death: The human killed him. To Papyrus's knowledge, he was the first (and hopefully only) one killed.
      (Alas, that was not the case - it was the murder spree implied by the photo of this ending:)
