This is a catch-all thread for fabulae_victoriana shenanigames!

I'll match whatever style you start with. I prefer to use [brackets] with some joking commentary and thought process descriptions.

J-just so! I, Papyrus, will continue be a guiding light to you, in these trying times! You can count on me.

[Affectionate knuckling at his brother's skull.]

[bonedoggle]

...

thank you, papyrus.

you don't understand how much that means to me.

[spaghettimonster]

I probably don't.

But... I don't need to understand, to see that it helps.

[bonedoggle]

[There's a soft chuckle.]

so, uh, what's your favorite constellation?

[SUBJECT CHANGE! You know Sans still feels uncomfortable when things get too sincere.]

[spaghettimonster]

I would like to say Leo, as that is my sign! But...

[Papyrus frowns and looks up at the sky.]

I have not managed to find it yet?

[bonedoggle]

i can show you where it is. see ursa major?

[He points to the cluster of stars in the night sky that make up that constellation. He then traces along the two stars that make the outer part of the cup in the Big Dipper.]

if you follow these two stars up, you'll find polaris, but, if you go in the other direction-

[He traces downward to a bright cluster of stars, circling it in the air.]

you find leo.

[spaghettimonster]

[Papyrus leans to just over Sans' shoulder as he points and traces paths through the sky, trying to follow where Sans' finger is pointing.]

That's Leo?

[He tilts his head, comparing the stars to the pictures of lions that usually go with zodiac symbols.]

[bonedoggle]

yeah, according to the charts in my books at least.

[spaghettimonster]

Hmmmm.

[Papyrus raises a hand and draws lines between the stars a few times. He suddenly gasps and sits up.]

I see it!! Wowie, the usual pictures make up a lot. Where are his legs? Is he sitting down?

[bonedoggle]

i think you have to use your imagination, pap.

[Sans chuckles.]

[spaghettimonster]

I think I'll use my imagination... to draw a more accurate picture for him.

[Check, Sans.]

[bonedoggle]

[Sans just shrugs.]

hey, i'm sure you could come up with something pretty cool.

the crack continues. i'll steer it to sanity if i ever have an idea how to get pap to focus

[spaghettimonster]

Realistic isn't the same thing as cool... But...

[Now he's torn.]

Picture a lion with rocket boosters.

[The possibilities before him are infinite.]

[bonedoggle]

[Sans seems to seriously consider this suggestion.]

what would a lion do with rocket boosters anyway?

[spaghettimonster]

The same thing anyone with rocket boosters would do.

Move around very fast! Fast enough to fly.

[bonedoggle]

i guess they wouldn't be lion around then.

1/2

[spaghettimonster]

No, they wouldn't be--

2/3 i lied

[spaghettimonster]

. . .

[spaghettimonster]

Maybe we should get you rocket boosters!
