entranceway | 1ST COOL ENTRY

[In the search for something lost, do what you know you must.

Of course, like everyone else, Papyrus was confused about this new present he received, but everything became clear to him as soon as he opened it to reveal some very fashionable clothing.

Then it dawns on him.

He knows what he must do.

He needs to put on these clothes and show everyone how fashionable he looks.

So, the video opens to a skeleton wearing some very cool clothing. He's even written down the words 'COOL DUDE' on the T-shirt! Look at how cool he is!]

PEOPLE OF WONDERLAND!!! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE FINALLY COME TO DEBUT MYSELF! UH...AGAIN. APPARENTLY THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE BEEN HERE IN WONDERLAND?? I DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TWO TIMES. BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT!

WHAT IS IMPORTANT, HOWEVER, IS MY NEW STYLE!!! LOOK AT WHAT I GOT FROM A WEIRD PRESENT I FOUND OUTSIDE MY DOOR!!! NEW CLOTHES!!!

[He's not going to say outright that he's stoked to be wearing some new clothes that aren't regal regalia, but his expression is showing that he's over the moon with happiness.

He strikes a pose!]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS 'RQ' PERSON IS, BUT IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS, THEN THANK YOU FOR THIS GENEROUS GIFT!! I WILL WEAR THESE CLOTHES UNTIL THEY FALL APART!! NYEH HEH HEH!!!

[He's dead serious about that.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Papyrus perks up!]

WHY, YES!!! I DO KNOW ASGORE!! HE WAS THE OLD KING OF THE UNDERGROUND IN MY TIMELINE! THAT IS, UNTIL --

[Wait, maybe talking about how he died wouldn't be a great conversation topic, especially for someone he just met.]

WELL ANYWAY, YES!! I KNOW HIM!! AS FOR MONSTERS IN GENERAL...WE ALL COME IN DIFFERENT FORMS!! SKELETONS, GOAT MONSTERS, FISH PEOPLE, LIZARD PEOPLE, GHOSTS, SEXY RECTANGULAR ROBOTS...THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!!

[ Holy crap, this skeleton is so goddamn hyper. Mondo's eyes narrow at that weird cutoff, trying to fill in the blanks with what he's heard from Asgore, but immediately distracted by the mention of 'sexy rectangular robots'. ...He sure did encounter one. The wriggly as fuck one that's hella drunk in himself, right? Man, is it just him or everyone from Underground kinda mental? Maybe not Asgore, but...

Right. Asgore. He was trying to figure out, uh. So if this guy's the new king for real, then maybeー ]

...So you're sayin' you replaced him after his death?

[The skeleton's excitement quickly dies down.]

WELL...YES. IN THE UNDERGROUND I CAME FROM, ASGORE DIED. AND SO DID A LOT OF OTHER MONSTERS TOO. EVERYONE IN THE UNDERGROUND WAS FILLED WITH DESPAIR BECAUSE WE LOST OUR KING, SO AS A WAY TO SET THINGS RIGHT, I TOOK THE THRONE.

[ Mondo takes note of the drop of tone. 'Filled with despair', huh. What a sickeningly familiar phrase. ]

Then... how didja end up here?

[ Did Wonderland just abduct everyone at random? It's something that he's been wondering about since Day 1. ]

[Now the skeleton looks pensive!]

HMM...THAT'S THE MILLION G QUESTION, ISN'T IT?? I'M NOT SURE HOW I GOT TO WONDERLAND MYSELF! ONE DAY, I WENT TO BED FOR A QUICK 30 SECOND REST AND WHEN I WOKE UP, I WAS HERE! IT'S ALL VERY CONFUSING.

OH!! AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, APPARENTLY I'VE BEEN HERE TWICE BEFORE!! I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF THAT, THOUGH. MYSTERIOUS...

[ So it differs for everyone, huh. Then probably it really was done at random. ]

Wait, what? You've been here twice before but you don't remember?!

[ The fuck's that supposed to mean...

Oh. Could it beー ]

Do you think it's... probably not you? Like the you from a different universe or somethin'.

[ Considering his classmates come from a different 'timeline' from his, apparently. ]

[Papyrus puts a hand up to his chin, thinking deeply.]

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING!! MY BROTHER TOLD ME THAT THE PREVIOUS TWO PAPYRUSES CAME FROM A DIFFERENT TIMELINE. SO, IT'S LIKE...I'VE BEEN HERE BUT I'VE ALSO NOT BEEN HERE...????

[He crosses his arms, getting a little frustrated that his line of thinking is essentially going nowhere.]

THIS IS QUITE THE PUZZLE...

Brother?

[ Is his brother... a skeleton too? This is getting even weirder, but maybe it's best to just let that slide. Plus, that's not what he's concerned about here. ]

Did your brother come from a different point of time, too?

[ If that's the case, they're in a mildly similar situation, and he'd like an opinion. Like how Asgore is, apart from the different appearance, there doesn't seem to be many things that separate the Underground 'monsters' to him or humans in general. Come to think of it, it's just like that creepy as fuck two-toned bear Monokuma, too, only without apparent malice. ]

YES, MY BROTHER!!! HE'S HERE TOO, HIS NAME IS SANS!!! HE'S A SKELETON LIKE ME, BUT HE'S A LOT SHORTER, BUT OLDER THAN ME TOO!!

AND YES, HE'S FROM A DIFFERENT TIMELINE. IT'S A BIT WEIRD SEEING HIM FROM A TIME POINT WHERE EVERYTHING TURNED OUT DIFFERENTLY, BUT...I'M JUST GLAD HE'S HERE ANYWAY!!!

[ "But... I'm just glad he's here anyway!"

Is it a good thing being here? He can't tell which is better, between their lives back home and here. But he can't deny there's a bit of relief when he sees Ishimaru around, selfish as it was. Being allowed to see him once again like this was kind of nice, even if all he's been doing is nothing but hurt him. ]

...Do you ever wonder if he's really your brother? Like, he's your brother but... he's not, yours? Maybe he's your other self's brother, or somethin'.

[ That doesn't actually bother him. In fact, he knows he should quit this act already ー but a part of him wants a reason to keep a distance still, for Ishimaru's safety, too. ]

[He's strangely silent for a little bit.]

...ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS SANS TOLD ME WAS THAT HE WASN'T THE SAME SANS THAT'S IN MY TIMELINE. HE'S ACTUALLY A SANS FROM A DIFFERENT TIMELINE.

BUT...

[He stops for a moment, then gives Mondo a small smile.]

BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER, BECAUSE HE'S STILL MY BROTHER. SURE, WE BOTH CAME FROM DIFFERENT TIMELINES, BUT THAT'S WHERE THE DIFFERENCES END!! HE'S STILL LAZY AS ALWAYS AND TELLS HORRIBLE PUNS AND SLACKS OFF LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS, JUST LIKE USUAL. IT FEELS VERY SIMILAR, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT OUR ENDINGS BEFORE WE GOT HERE ARE VERY DIFFERENT.

WE MAY COME FROM DIFFERENT TIMELINES, BUT HE'S STILL MY BROTHER TO THE VERY END!!!

!!

[ Papyrus's words strikes a chord within him. They sound... familiar.

Immediately falling silent, the tearful words of his 'brother' reemerges from within, resounding in his mind. "N-no... no matter what... no matter what...!! There is no version of Mondo Oowada who is not my brother!!" ]

...

[ He bites down his lip, looking visibly upset. ]

...Y, you think so? Wouldja still feel the same even if your brother's done something so fucked up he can't take back anymore? Even if he's a criminal? [ His perpetual look of annoyance slowly breaks to a much more vulnerable one then, carefully voicing out each word. ] ...A... murderer?

[Even if his brother has done something completely and utterly unforgivable, like murdering someone...he doesn't even skip a beat.]

THAT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME. WELL, I MEAN, YEAH, IT DOES MATTER IF HE HAPPENS TO KILL SOMEONE, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I'D NEVER SPEAK TO HIM AGAIN!! AND, IF HE DOES HAPPEN TO KILL SOMEONE...I WOULD HELP HIM BECOME A BETTER PERSON. I KNOW THAT HE'S TRYING ANYWAY, BUT IN CASE HE FALLS BEHIND, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE TO PICK HIM BACK UP!!

WE'VE JUST...WE'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH TOGETHER, I DON'T THINK I COULD EVER LEAVE HIM. EVER.

[ The more Papyrus talks, the more overlaps he finds between the words his 'brother' Ishimaru uttered to him and what Papyrus is saying. ]

But what if your brother's got no control to that? What if... you don't get spared from the danger too?

[ And because of that, without thinking much, he begins to demand more answers that he really should ask from Ishimaru instead of Papyrus. ]
