entranceway | [video] the most punderful time of the year

[Sans is out at his hotdog stand, apparently oblivious to the growing cold. His black cat, 4, is a lot less oblivious, considering he's curled up in Sans's hood. He's peering dubiously at the camera while Sans fiddles with condiments. This is the first time Sans has really been out in public since the last event.]

probably only a couple more days till wonderland throws the holidays at us, huh? gonna be my third one, personally. wonder how bad it's gonna be this time. last year we didn't sleep and kept waking up in a wonderland where everyone was brainwashed. year before that, i almost froze to death. despite, yanno, bein' a skeleton.

[Sans sets about toasting a few hotdog buns on the grill behind him.]

hey, so...indulge me. if you could have any one thing for gyftmas, or christmas, or whatever you celebrate--what would it be? no limits. could be purely conceptual or intangible. just any one thing.

...and hey, if you wanna give a sarcastic answer, feel free. think we've all had enough truth or dare where you can't pick dare lately, after all. i'm just curious.

You didn't even let us know what your answer is! Tell me your answer, and maybe I'll let you in on my burning desires.

well cause i already know what my answer is. i was asking everyone else.

Fuhuhu... Two can play at this game, Sans.

[She gets up in the camera's space, menacingly stepping up onto the desk the computer is resting on with one foot as she does.]

What do you want, huh?? HUH?!?!? A plush bathrobe??? A keg full of ketchup??!

[Oh my god she is menacing the furniture now.]

huh, both those things sound pretty great.

[This is backfiring!!!]

Well, you're getting neither!!!! Take that! Now you guess what I want.

aww, i was looking forward to ketchup.

[He is grinning so much.]

hm, for you? a new cool sword. or maybe a spear. or both. like a sword spear.

--A SWORD SPEAR????

[Holy shit???]

LIKE A GLAIVE??? BUT, NO, BETTER, LIKE A... DRAGONSLAYER SWORDSPEAR!!! LIKE WHAT THAT ONE GUY HAD IN THAT ONE ANIME, WHEN HE HELD IT IN THE AIR IT SUMMONED LIGHTING!!!

[You know, that anime called Dark Souls 3. Everyone's seen that one.]

ARE YOU GETTING ME A LIGHTNING-SUMMONING SWORDSPEAR???

uh...i didn't know there was a real word for it...

[Oh god now it's backfiring on him instead.]

i mean...i guess i could try?

There's a word for every type of weapon!!! If someone thought of it, someone made it!

[She grins at him, noticing his hesitance.]

It's fine if you don't get me a Dragonslayer Swordspear!!! I mean, try, but if it doesn't work out, I trust you to get me something awesome. I ain't giving you any more clues though!!!

what about...like...a wheel made of swords. would that be a thing?

[Please tell him that's not a thing.]

well...i'll at least try, heh. but don't worry, i'll make sure it's appropriately "undyne."

PROBABLY!!!

I know the kind of thing you go for, too. You're pretty easy to shop for, you have two interests.

[He chuckles and ticks off on his fingers.] ketchup, and hotdogs.

Yes. Meanwhile, I'm very multidimensional!! I like fighting, and swords, and... uh... hot soup!!!

a well-rounded assortment.

AND ANIME!!!!

[How could she forget?]

oh man, silly me. forgot the most important one.

Yeah!!! Come on, Sans!! Have you ever SEEN Gurren Lagann??? 'Cause if you had, you'd have three whole interests and truly ascend as a monster.

haven't seen that one, no. maybe you could show it to me sometime.

Oh man. Sans. We GOTTA watch it. It's so good!!! It's about humans who have the power of determination and use their WILL TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE!!! And there are giant robots!

if there's giant robots, i'm sold. we can't watch it without al, though. she'd never forgive us.

Yeah, of course!! We all gotta watch it together. I'll tell her and we can set up that, uh, movie theater room! WE CAN WATCH THE WHOLE THING IN ONE SITTING AND THEN LEAVE THE ROOM NOT KNOWING WHAT TIME OR DAY IT IS!

i am one hundred percent loving this plan. lemme know when you get it set up, yeah?

[As if Sans would help set things up, pshaw.]
