February 11 evening

[ribticklers]

[For tonight's bedtime story, it's another fluffy bunny tale! Not the original, and not one Sans knows quite by heart, so if Papyrus does ever get to listen to this there are a few paraphrased sections. Sans can imagine Papyrus protesting at how Sans breezes over the details he forgot--no style at all, not how anyone should be telling a story!]

Night, Papyrus.

[Please don't be dead.]

[Sans is making up a story tonight! Not something he's done much since Papyrus was a kid, but not completely unheard of. This story is about a very brave and cool and handsome skeleton knight who saves a kingdom from an invading army by first beating the leader of the human army in a test of wit and skill and then convincing everyone to be friends. Kind of skimpy on the details except for the emphasis on how super cool the protagonist is. They're a very cool protagonist. The coolest.]

Goodnight, Papyrus.

[What if he's dead right now? He could be. Sans has no proof either way. But considering the creatures this place sicced on them in December, kidnapping people to kill them seems like it would be unnecessary. But Sans can't be sure.

Please don't be dead. Please.]

[Sans knows Papyrus can't receive these. Sans has Papyrus's watch, along with Sayori's, and he's been hanging onto them for safekeeping. But how else is he going to do this bedtime routine?

So, tonight's story is Sans doing a not-so-great job of trying to recite things from Advanced Puzzle Construction for Critical Minds. Gotta say, not Sans's idea of great bedtime reading. He's never been that into puzzles beyond the delight he gets from Papyrus's excitement over them, and it shows in how he has to skip around and hesitate, with lots of "um"s and "uhh"s and paraphrasing and jokes about how you just "you know, hook up the wires to the other wires and don't get electrocuted". Papyrus would be so mad about this rendition. He really wants to hear Papyrus get mad about it later. Maybe he'll get to hear this later.]

G'night, bro.

[Sans doesn't know what to do. Sans doesn't know if there's anything to do.]

February 14 evening

[ribticklers]

[Apparently there's some holiday happening today? Sans probably heard about it before the kidnappings, but it's the last thing on his mind afterward, and he doesn't notice again until all of the town weirdos are talking about it. Still, he's left a box of candy in Papyrus's room for if he theoretically comes back, because that is how this holiday works, he guesses. Frankly, he's still very vague on the specifics of what's happening.

It's more important that it's another evening, and that means another story. Sans reads from a book he actually bought here last month: a book on the constellations and their stories. He'll read through some of those, starting with Ursa Major and Ursa Minor.]

Goodnight, Papyrus.

[Sans figures he'll just keep doing this until he knows what happened for sure. If he doesn't ever figure it out, maybe he'll just keep doing it forever? Sure, why not.]
