[* You feel...something.]

I suppose I should feel happy with such a greeting. Are we doing knock knock jokes next?

[They're wholly under the impression this is Sans being Sans and not the network acting up.]

text

[skelebro]

[YES THIS WAS VERY DEFINITELY INTENTIONAL.]

you want 'em, i got 'em.
knock knock.

Who's there?

[They may as well play along. Pass the time, or something.]

[skelebro]

what where why.

[somuchlove]

What where why who?

[skelebro]

[His font abruptly changes, though Sans isn't aware of it.]

GEEZ, BUDDY, NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO HAVE AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS

text

[somuchlove]

[It's impossible to not recognize that font. It practically yells despite being text.

And shows Chara that something is amiss. Sure, Sans could still be trolling them but like this? Not in a million years.

Well, not like they won't make the most of it.]

That is quite the joke. Very funny. Do you have any more?

[They want to see if anything else happens.]

[skelebro]

I'VE ALWAYS GOT MORE JOKES. BUT YOU ALREADY THINK A LOT OF THIS IS PRETTY FUNNY, DON'T YOU?

Re: text

[somuchlove]

True. You are both funny and interesting. When there are things left for us you continue to do nothing.

You. Why do you do this?

[skelebro]

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE MORE SPECIFIC.

[somuchlove]

Your inaction. With your power, you could have stopped us long ago.

Why? Why didn't you?

[If there was one thing that sparked a bit of curiosity about Sans it was that. His HP, ATK and DEF marked him as weak. He was anything but in terms of raw power. So why?]

[skelebro]

"US"?

[He's more curious about the use of plurality there than their actual question, honestly.]

[somuchlove]

Us.

[What was that she said....oh, yes. "You're gonna have to try a little harder than THAT."

Give and take Sans. Answer their question or try another way. They're Determined remember? Rhymes with stubborn, apparently.]

[skelebro]

[Not giving without a little take, huh? All right. Two can play at that game.]

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS. THERE'S NO POINTS ON A CIRCLE.

[Making most of his endeavors...pointless.

Hilarious.]

[somuchlove]

[Ah, that makes sense. Banging your head against a wall got you nowhere. Having the self awareness of that but having to continue it would be worse.

But Sans gets an answer, even if it's roundabout.]

That circle was well walked before I appeared.

[skelebro]

YOU'VE LOST ME.

[No they haven't. Or, to be specific, they haven't lost him completely. It's better to play things safe.]

DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS ROOM FOR A "WE" WHEN YOU'RE CHOCK-FULL OF LOVE.

[somuchlove]

LV 20. You can count backwards, yes?

[They never started there. So, what where they like at LV 1?

Or better yet, who was in control?

* Still you.]

[skelebro]

AH.

[The kid. That's right. Multiple agents acting upon the same vessel.]

BUT THEY'RE NOT HERE NOW.

[somuchlove]

For now.

[It's up in the air, isn't it? There's so many timelines. So many resets. Perhaps things may be kinder to Sans in the future.]

[skelebro]

SO WHAT GENERATES THAT KIND OF SHIFT?

[Alleged days of...what? Cooperation? Coexistence? Or maybe a struggle? An anomaly comprised of multiple SOULs, or consciousnesses, or...entities, occupying the same space simultaneously. Shouldn't be possible. But as it apparently is, what catalyzes the shift? What solidifies it?

Is there ever any going back?]

[somuchlove]

Genocide. For me.

[Which is...kinda obvious at this point. Killing drew out a monster. Whatever Chara was now...well, it actually would be insulting to monster kind to call them one.]

But you. You want to know how to go back.

[skelebro]

NAH. I KINDA JUST WANNA KNOW IF THIS MEANS YOU'RE THERE ALL THE TIME.

[somuchlove]

Is your ability to kill me there regardless?

[So yes, they are. But like they said, it takes genocide. No more, no less. Aborting that early sinks them back but leaves no one happy.]
