entranceway | [video] i'll have to suspend my disbelief

[Sans is at his hotdog stand like usual, apparently doing a crossword.]

hey, so this has been bugging me since that event with the pyramid. what's actually the point of suspenders? i mean. a lot of human clothing is kind of baffling to me. but suspenders just seem excessive.

[He fills in a word in his crossword.]

if you're worried about your pants falling down, you could just use a belt. or rope or such. or wear a skirt instead.

[Frankly, he has questions about every article of clothing he was forced to wear during that event, but he's holding back. Plus, talking about weird clothing means not having to talk about weird past lives.]

by the way, anyone ever get that giant diamond that was up at the apex? didja get to keep it?

[He pauses, frowning at his paper and tapping the pen against his teeth. Hell yeah, he uses pen on his crosswords, cause if he makes a mistake it's an excuse to just give up on it.]

these crosswords are all human oriented. what's a six-letter word for "iron deficiency"?

Don't know. There's something attractive about suspenders. They can come in handy.

[Before he can get too wistful here, he'll continue.]

Didn't manage to get to the diamond. Shame, seemed like it was just right for me. And I guess you got your crossword answer already. Suppose you're more of a calcium expert?

yeah? mine mostly just got in the way.

[It didn't help that none of his period clothes really fit.]

it was very shiny. i could see the appeal. and heh, calcium, phosphorous, magic. there's iron in bone marrow, but that's about it. i don't go around eating iron bars or anything.

Yeah, can't imagine those being too tasty.

I'm gonna ask what you eat, just tell me to shove it if you don't wanna answer.

[He doesn't know skeletiquette.]

What do you eat?

pfft. i appreciate your political correctness.

[He's a thousand percent kidding.]

hotdogs. burgers, fries. potato chips. their close cousin, popato chisps. junk food, pretty much.

Hey, I got no idea how strong the skeleton lobby is, I don't want to have to crack skulls.

[How does that work? Does he even want to know?

He does not. However...]

What are popato chisps?

[...Puns!]

oh man. that was a good one. nah, i got enough skull cracks for one lifetime. [He jerks a thumb at the faint, hairline crack running up from his left eyesocket.] only cracking i'm interested in is cracking people up.

[He's just grinning from metaphorical ear to metaphorical ear at this point.]

they're a mystery. a delicious mystery.

So you go after the funny bone? [Yes, excellent, he can pun all day.] Good choice.

[Now he's intrigued, because how could anyone not be?]

I'll have to try some time. But you only sell hot dogs.
