✆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.

Well, when ya put it like that…

[Yeah, ok, why’d he even bother, etc]

So it’s fine then?

[spaghettimonster]

[Sometime after Papyrus' announcement about sand sculptures, when Amethyst and Sans are both out of the supervisor grove, a renegade artist sneaks into their rooftop. He leaves a sand Sans that looks like it's taking a nap.]

[osteothropy]

[When Sans find it, he artfully drapes a hat over it's head. Now no one can tell the difference.

It's truly the perfect crime.]

[osteothropy]

Yeah, sure. Why not.

[Big shrug.]

If you want me to show you the ropes, I'm not too hard to find.

[pipers_son]

Ya are the most reliable fellow in the carnival that way.

Anyway, I’ll drop over sometime soon, then, and I’ll bring somethin’ trashy as thanks~.

HI SANS,

DO NOT FEAR, I AM NOT WRITING TO PESTER YOU TO CALL ME. I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT YOU NEED TIME AND SPACE TO DEAL WITH THINGS. AND YOU KNOW THAT I'M AROUND, HOPING FOR YOUR BEST. I'M ALSO HOPING THAT YOU'VE GONE AND ENJOYED THE LAKE, AND THE MOUNTAIN, AND EVERYTHING. DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL NOSTALGIC TOO??

AND GUESS WHAT? I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S BEEN THINKING OF YOU. YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED... BUT INSIDE THIS LETTER, IS ANOTHER LETTER! WRITTEN BY ANOTHER PERSON!! AND THAT LETTER IS FOR YOU.

ENJOY YOUR DOUBLE FEATURE DOUBLE LETTER!

NYEHFULLY,

- PAPYRUS

[spaghettimonster]

Hi Sans!! I have a super-duper casual question. And no particular reason for asking it, just curiosity. So... that deja vu you had, back home, what was that like?

[osteothropy]

Uh...

[???]

[spaghettimonster]

Um. You know, those... bits and pieces of things you remembered? And remember now, in all too vivid detail...? What was that like?

[Everything is casual and cheerful and fine, nothing to uhhh or worry about, really! He swears!]

[osteothropy]

[Well this game out of nowhere. Also, Papyrus is so Papyrus that he makes it immediately obvious that this isn't actually a casual inquiry. Hell, even thinking this is something that could be asked casually seems beyond even Papyrus's means.

Part of him wants to sidestep the conversation entirely, but the other swallows and attempts to stand his ground.]

Just... feeling like I'd done something before. Or remembering it two different ways. I guess it got worse the more versions there were to remember.

[Now you explain why you're asking this private as hell question.]

after the ringmaster's second address, day 170

[whattaprick]

So, what's she got you doing?

[osteothropy]

Mostly keeping our people from getting axed by this Prince guy.

Same as you, as far as I can tell.

[whattaprick]

Maybe we'd have a better shot at that if anyone was good at following directions. Or if we actually knew more about what pisses him off.

[osteothropy]

The RM seemed pretty sure we'd be getting very direct instructions as to what we should be doing while there. We'll probably have to enforce that ourselves because it's better that we catch them in the act before the Prince can.

Besides that... don't do stuff that would normally piss somebody off?

[Like, that does seem like a pretty common set of things.]

[whattaprick]

He's fae.

[ Lambert says, flatly, like that alone should be self-explanatory. ]

I think counting on 'normal' probably isn't going to work out.

[osteothropy]

Sure... but it sounds like he's basing his schtick on old-fashioned human sensibilities.

...Sorry. They might actually be futuristic sensibilities from your perspective.

[whattaprick]

You're the human expert, not me. [ Sarcastic, but it's not far from the truth. ]

Guess we'd better break the news to the other supervisors.

[osteothropy]

Guess so.

Say. How are you at stealth travel? Could come in handy at the Manor.

[whattaprick]

I've got a rock that lets me hide in the shadows, but otherwise, I just get around on my own feet.

You want sneaking around, you'd be better off talking to Childermass or Strange.

[osteothropy]

Nope. It's gotta be you, pal. Its our job to babysit these guys, not theirs.

My angle is that I doubt the Prince is going to appreciate us patrolling on his turf, so if we're going to police our people we have to do it on the down low.

[whattaprick]

Well, Strange works for me, so I can at least boss him around. It's going to be pretty hard watching out for everyone between just the two of us.

[ Like sure, the Ringmaster told them not to freak out the Carnival at large, but she probably at least assumed they'd tell their respective workers! ]

Don't know what this place is going to be like, but I'm not coming unarmed. Figure we can get away with that much, as long as we're not waving swords at anyone.

[osteothropy]

[Teamwork has never really been Sans's strong point. While he technically has a team, he almost certainly underutilizes them.]

Perks of being a mage: I'm always armed.

[Magic FTW]

A lot of our workers are gunna be the same way.

[whattaprick]

[ Witchers are usually lone fighters too, but Lambert's had the benefit of having to endure annoying training sessions and being raised with a whole bunch of other kids, so he knows what it looks like in theory. ]

We're gonna be in another fae's realm. Whatever magic he's got is going to be more than anything most of us have. [ Matter of fact. The Ringmaster outmatches all of them; ergo, if she's being cautious, so will he. He's certainly not betting their safety on his fledgeling ability to turn into a dragon, that's for sure. ]

I don't like any of this.

[osteothropy]

It'd be kind of weird if you did.

[Sans always sounds pretty laid back about this stuff until he suddenly isn't - but right now he's discussing it casually, even if he's much more concerned on the inside.]

Believe me, I'm not a fan either. It has some eerie similarities to a previous situation, and we can't afford to have something like that happen again.
