[You'd think Dave would have learned his lesson about anonymity, but maybe learning doesn't stick so well at ass in the morning when he can't sleep. At least it doesn't seem like he's really trying to mask his identity, here. It's just...a plausible deniability thing, maybe. Probably, given the content of his message.]

what was growing up like for you
like
how was your childhood
were you happy

HE WORRIES ME THESE DAYS. HE THINKS I DON'T NOTICE, BUT...

[callbacks]

but what
how
does he worry you

[coolskeleton_95]

IT'S HIS HP. IT'S ONLY 1.

[callbacks]

[What. Wait. What? Dave needs a moment to recalibrate, he's not used to people springing video game terminology in the middle of serious conversations.]

well
i mean yeah thats ludicrously sad
but shouldnt it go up if he just gets some exp

[coolskeleton_95]

HOW RUDE TO SUGGEST GAINING EXECUTION POINTS!

[callbacks]

what the fuck is an execution point

[coolskeleton_95]

WHY, THAT'S WHAT EXP IS SHORT FOR! DIDN'T YOU KNOW?

[callbacks]

uh
no??
thats not what exp stands for at all dude it generally stands for experience point
thats why you level up for finishing quests and shit or achieving certain objectives and not just gaining familiarity with combat

[coolskeleton_95]

THAT'S ONLY IN VIDEO GAMES! THIS IS REAL LIFE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!

[callbacks]

of course my mistake
video games in real life
preposterous

[coolskeleton_95]

GOOD. SO LONG AS YOU UNDERSTAND, HUMAN. EXECUTION POINTS AND LEVEL OF VIOLENCE ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY!

[callbacks]

level of violence
lv?
got it
so whats hp if its not hit points

[coolskeleton_95]

THAT'S A GOOD ONE! HP IS "HOPE"! SO, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MY CONCERN THAT SANS' IS ONLY AT 1.

[callbacks]

oh
yeah i see why thats concerning


what happens if it goes to zero

WHY DON'T I HAVE NEUTRAL SAD ICONS

[coolskeleton_95]

WELL..IF A MONSTER'S HP GOES TO ZERO...OR IS TAKEN DOWN TO ZERO IN BATTLE...THAT MONSTER....WILL DIE AND TURN TO DUST.

THE WORST, I'M SORRY

[callbacks]

oh

so
damn i guess i see why youre worried

is he
do you try to keep him safe

[coolskeleton_95]

OH, MOST DEFINITELY! HE MAY BE MY BIG BROTHER, BUT I'M MUCH BIGGER THAN HE IS!

[callbacks]

is he like
a lot older than you
if he was kind of raising you and stuff

[coolskeleton_95]

WELL...YES. BUT, MONSTER AGING WORKS DIFFERENTLY THAN THAT OF A HUMAN'S!

[callbacks]

that makes sense
ps what made you sure all this time that i was human by the way
i mean i didnt gainsay it obviously but its not like you know who i am and plenty of people here werent human originally

[coolskeleton_95]

THAT'S EASY! THE GREAT PAPYRUS KNEW JUST ABOUT EVERY MONSTER THAT LIVED IN THE UNDERGROUND! THEREFORE, THAT SINGLES MOST OTHERS OUT AS HUMANS! UNLESS THEY SAY DIFFERENT! THEN AGAIN, UPON COMING HERE, ALL SORTS OF BEINGS ARE TURNED HUMAN, SO...

[callbacks]

well im not divulging anything about myself either way i just wanted to make sure you knew you were making that assumption
thats impressive though
knowing every single monster where you come from
were there a lot

[coolskeleton_95]

BUT OF COURSE! PAPYRUS, THE GREATEST ROYAL GUARDSMAN TO EVER BE GREAT MUST KNOW THE NAMES AND FACES OF THOSE HE PROTECTS!

...WELL, THINGS WERE STARTING TO GET CROWDED MORE AND MORE....BUT WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT NOW!
