[Sans's thoughts skitter away from that thought about Papyrus opening up those ports on his skull like they could cause physical damage. Not that the idea of Papyrus taking an attack for Sans is that much better, even if Papyrus isn't wrong that he's more durable. Papyrus has always been more durable. That didn't really help back at home, when--no. He's not going to think about that. He's not thinking about it. He's locked down his expression entirely, leaving it in its usual blank grin.

Papyrus's parts are fixable, that's the point. Sometimes with replacement stuff. But expendable's the wrong word.]


Okay, so, let's work on getting your body parts back on this plane. [Sans is going to think about that instead.]

Good ones. [Not something he might have to specify to Papyrus under different circumstances, but their shared thought space is kind of weird right now. Sans is aggressively focusing on just this one moment in time. No past thoughts, no future thoughts.] Ones that'd make you want to come back. [Intangibility isn't quite leaving, but it feels very similar to Sans. Going maybe half a step away from reality.]

Hey, see, there you go! [Sans is scraping the edges of his consciousness for enthusiasm and he's surprised by the amount he finds, even if he's a little strained with all the thoughts that were happening a little while ago. It's easier when Papyrus is thinking about bedtime stories and the costume party.] You got it fast, it took me a while to figure it out.

[It was mostly Sans drifting around his bedroom thinking "wow Papyrus is not going to be happy if I'm stuck being invisible forever". He'd gotten it in the end, though. Maybe that's what matters? Well, what matters right now is making sure Papyrus finishes solidifying.] Okay, hand next.

You've always been great at controlling your magic. [And maybe Sans did actually provide some useful tips? A small allowance, so Sans guesses he can accept that. Sans spares an eye socket to check that metal wing, to make sure it's not doing anything weirder than just existing. He's kind of getting used to it, though, so--

And then Sans smacks abruptly into Papyrus's side as the arm he was touching Papyrus with goes all gooey and sticky.]

[Sans's thoughts go back before they ever got to San Benedicto and before the anomaly arrived. He thinks about the amalgamates living in the basement of Alphys's lab, that thing he found out and promised (promised, like he hates doing) not to tell anyone. He pulls back reflexively, but it just makes the goop that was his--their?--arm stretch.]

Uh. [Sans says, eloquently, his thoughts vaporlocked.]

[Okay, yeah, it's kind of relevant information right now, maybe. (Anyway, Alphys is probably dead.)] Uh--'s amalgamation, I think. [Alphys came up with the term. Sans remembers her explanation, though it had been--uh, shaky. She'd been upset. He'd pieced more of it together himself later.] Usually it just happens if you inject a monster with a lot of Determination. [Or a monster's Fallen Down body. Sans suddenly isn't sure which of those they'd count as, technically.] Our bodies can't handle it like a human, so we, uh--

[The sharp image, unbidden, of Sans watching Undyne melting after the anomaly had struck a killing blow. No, focus.]

We melt. Can't be the exact same, but it's similar.

[Speaking of melting, Sans has lost whole shoulder socket by this point. Sans flaps his wings to try and maintain some sort of balance.]

[Sans wants to pat Papyrus on the arm or something, maybe try to calm him down, but he lost one of those already. He nudges Papyrus as best he can like this instead.] Doesn't feel like we're dying. [At least, not what Sans remembers it feeling like.] And I'm never determined about anything. 'S gotta be something else causing similar effects.

[Even though he's startled and unsure about what's happening, Sans is kind of surprised he's this calm about it, relatively. When he first learned about the amalgamates it kept him up for a few nights. This isn't nearly as bad as he imagined. He tries moving what was at least at one point his arm again, not sure if he's going to get any movement at all, just move his, uh, goop, or if he'll move Papyrus's, too. It's hard to tell the difference when it's goop.]

couch icon has so many uses

[personal profile] ribticklers 2022-04-11 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, something like that. [Exactly something like that, apparently. Does that mean they're going to become one monster? Are they going to be goopy, or reform afterward? Sans's memories flick through images of the amalgamates he's seen in the lab. Endogeny always seemed to like him best. Of course, the amalgamates were always hard to read, even for someone as good at reading people as Sans.

(It's not something Sans would think to focus on, just background information while he thinks about his encounters with the amalgamates, but one of his memories includes the room that's filled with golden flowers.)]


Uh. How're you... Thinking, I guess? Like--everything's in order? [Sans is being pointlessly vague. He often is, but this time it's especially ridiculous because Papyrus knows what he's thinking. He's trying to check for thought coherency. The amalgamates in Alphys's basement often have trouble thinking straight. Somehow, that seems more important to check on than figuring out if there's a way to detach himself is. Papyrus wants him here, anyway, so he's not going anywhere.]
ribticklers: (135)

[personal profile] ribticklers 2022-04-12 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, probably. [Sleeping things off definitely isn't Papyrus's thing. Papyrus detaching his arm is probably the practical solution here, but part of Sans hates the idea of being left alone, even if that's stupid and Papyrus would still be right there. Coherent trains of thought or not, this situation is probably not helping him think straight.

It's been a while since Sans has thought about Papyrus's mysterious flower friend who Sans was sure had been deliberately avoiding him. He'd been suspicious, but in the end, it hadn't really mattered. Other things to worry about. But now he guesses he at least knows what kind of flower it looks like.

It's getting kind of hard for Sans to differentiate who's thinking and feeling what here.]
If you wanna pop your arm off, you can. I'm not gonna stop you. [It's natural to think that he couldn't even if he wanted to, but actually, could he? How attached are their bodies at this point? Sans moved their weird goopy arm just fine as one thing. Well, he's not going to try, no matter how he feels about it. Unless that's Papyrus's feeling about it, in which case--well, that's why he's leaving it up to Papyrus.]

it's the power of the couch icon we were using a few tags ago

Is the goop in your socket yet? If it's all you it's prob'ly fine. [The conflict over splitting things off is definitely Papyrus, because Sans has gone from confusion and amalgamate comparisons to not wanting to go anywhere once a theoretical option was presented. That's weird, right? He's been the one acting weirder since this started. He feels kind of bad about it.

(In the back of his head, prompted by Papyrus's thoughts about how Sans's halo works, is the ridiculous image of Sans just hovering around Papyrus with one goopy, metal-monster arm. Or maybe Sans just getting dragged along the ground. It's a funny idea.)]

[personal profile] ribticklers 2022-04-13 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's something soothing about being in thought-based agreement, even if Sans also doesn't want Papyrus to think like him. Well, in this case, Sans isn't sure what they're actually supposed to do about it except wait. Maybe there's a trick to it, but when Sans tries to extend his spiritual senses he doesn't catch any signs of anything like the leeches. Extending his senses like that is weird, though, because he can feel Papyrus like he can feel his own magic, a suggestion of electricity and metal. Like that metal wing but more.]

Okay, yeah, I guess we're already pretty attached. [But it's not really that bad. It still feels nice. Not like the leeches, but maybe like how everyone else seemed to feel the leeches? No, this is still a calmer feeling than all that weird aggressive happiness.] But you'll probably be able to teleport again if you wanna. And maybe we'll get more invisible arms. You could build a lot of stuff like that. [He doesn't notice the "we" slipping in, like they're one thing. He also doesn't know why he's trying to be optimistic, given how rarely he tries that.]

[Sans's metal wing stretches out, to Sans's confusion. It doesn't look like it's melting or anything that might have made it stretch on its own, or--oh.] Was that you? [If it was Papyrus, that's--okay, he guesses. A little alarming somewhere in the back of his head, but Sans can't flag himself for personality fluctuations and so he's left to go along with them with less warning.

Sans's leg, the one on the same side as his melted arm, is starting to lose its form by degrees. It's less sudden than the arm was, and so Sans isn't quite as startled by it. It's just sort of a thing that's happening.]

[personal profile] ribticklers 2022-04-18 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. Just surprised me, 's all. [Maybe he should be more worried about it--intellectually, like looking over a math problem that isn't working, he can see the issue--but he just can't work up the emotional concern. It's Papyrus, so it's fine.]

This is gonna make going to work kind of complicated. [Maybe they could teleport back and forth?]
