✆CHANNEL FREQUENCY: 800.80085
DESCRIPTION: Sans will frequently ignore messages about stuff he doesn't want to deal with, but the second something of importance comes up on the channel he will appear as if he's been listening intently all along.

✉MAIL BOX LOCATION: Novelty Skeleton Statue
DESCRIPTION: There is a skeleton statue next to his trailer door with an extended, bowl-like lower jaw, that looks like it's meant for putting Halloween candy in. He would like it if you did. It's technically his mailbox, though, so mail is probably fine, too.

Could be an idea, so long as we can keep people from getting pigeonholed out there. Maybe get some defensive casters assigned to the task.

You can make barriers, can't you?

[dorkypantsuit]

Yeah. But the size and strength of them depends on the area and force of the attackers.

[AKA, he's iffy about relying on that alone.]

Generating force is easier.

[osteothropy]

Right. Kinetic force does in a pinch, but I wouldn't want to use it that way, either.

[His gravity manipulation has similar principles - he could probably deflect stuff with it if he really tried, but why would he? He'd be even worse as trying to hold down a fort, he needs to be mobile, and he has other stuff to be doing, anyway.]

I could send stragglers back to a meeting point if I came across them, tho.

Radio, some time after everyone is a little lessy bleedy and panicked

[pipers_son]

Hey, Sans, ya ever teach anybody anythin'?

[For all that he is super fucking tired, this could almost sound like a casual conversation topic.]

[osteothropy]

Practical education, mostly.

[Normally he'd be inclined to deflect this all together, but people have been asking serious questions today.]

[pipers_son]

[Yeah, weird how attacks on the carnival make people so serious, huh?]

Well, how practical are magic lessons then, would ya say?

[osteothropy]

[There's a long moment of hesitation on the other end.]

What kind of magic you lookin' for?

[dorkypantsuit]

[But what if something happened to them along the way.]

Maybe someone could create a place that's hidden with magic for people to stay safe in?

[He doesn't know much about magic, but well.]

[pipers_son]

The, ha, kind that makes ya suddenly disappear from one place and show up in another.

[osteothropy]

Huh.

[He has to think about that for a second.]

I guess I could show you a couple things. You learned any magic since you got here? Can't remember seeing you do much with it...

[Because if Joker is a novice, hooo boy.]

[osteothropy]

[Well, he has to think about that one.]

I've been working on creating sub-dimensions, but there's no air in them, normally. Most of you guys need to breathe, right?

[dorkypantsuit]

[He rolls his eyes.]

Yeah, we do.

[osteothropy]

So, I haven't really worked out how to address that problem, yet. But, of course, I'm sure the Ringmaster could make her own solution, if she got it in her head to do something about it.

[dorkypantsuit]

You could just ask her for help with your plan if you really wanted her to do something about it.

[osteothropy]

[A long pause, then.]

.......Nah.

[That's it.]

[dorkypantsuit]

...I know there are people who don't agree. But I would be dead if it weren't for this place. I think there are others who feel the same. And I think there are some who would be worse of if this place hadn't existed.


So I hope you can understand why I don't share your opinion on the matter. And I'd hope we could have a conversation without those kinds of comments.

[osteothropy]

[He's almost feeling where you're coming up, up until that last comment.]

And what kinda comments are those, huh?

[dorkypantsuit]

Um.

The kind about. Lack of action or something. I guess.

[Did he say something wrong again?]

[osteothropy]

Hey, its her show, here. If she's the only one who can do this, I'm not gunna play some kind of game to get what I want from her.

[dorkypantsuit]

[He sighs, just rubbing his forehead in confusion and frustration.]

I'm sorry I upset you.

[He doesn't know how, but it's clear he did so.]

If you want we can just hang up now and pretend this never happened or whatever.

[osteothropy]

You didn't.

[Except that just makes him sound more upset. Shit.]

...Fuck.

[You can't really hang up a radio because that's not how it works, but he goes quiet, anyway.]

[dorkypantsuit]

...Are you alright?

[osteothropy]

[Definitely too busy getting a drink to answer, sorry.]

[pipers_son]

[HA…. HA… SO ABOUT THAT…]

I’ve talked with some folks about it, especially since magicians are a good main act in performances, but it’s not somethin’ I’ve been exactly… pursuin’. Thought it was a bad idea ta get too wrapped up in faerie magic and the like, y’know. But, well, with what’s happened lately…

Better ta choose the danger I know instead of the danger suddenly pointin' a gun at my performer's faces, right?

[osteothropy]

Buddy, I think you are wrapped up in faerie magic whether you like it or not.

I can do spacial displacement with or without fae magic, but the principles are similar. One way summoning should be simple enough.

[Sometimes it seems like he starts busting out the big words just to try to weird people out.]
