3RD COOL ENTRY - VIDEO

[kingtrousele]

[The video opens to...a singular skull eye and and nothing else. Gah!!]

OKAY, GOOD! IT'S ON!!

[The skull eye pulls back to reveal...oh, it's Papyrus! One thing that one might notice differently is that he's wearing a new, slick battle body! Huh. He beams at the camera.]

PEOPLE OF WONDERLAND!! THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME!!! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE FINALLY FINISHED MY GIGANTIC PUZZLE!! YOU SEE, WHERE I COME FROM, PUZZLES ARE A WAY OF LIFE!! TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B, YOU MUST SOLVE A SERIES OF PUZZLES!! ORIGINALLY, I WANTED TO BUILD THIS PARTICULAR PUZZLE SO IT WRAPPED AROUND THE MANSION, BUT SOME OF THE MECHANICS WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY THAT WAY, SO I MOVED IT TO THE HILLS. BEHOLD!!!

[The camera then swerves to reveal...!

Woah. That's one hell of a puzzle. It looks more like an obstacle course. As the camera pans from left to right, the puzzle starts with a switch puzzle - contraptions that act like switches are placed precariously around the section. The middle of the puzzle consists of a pretty sizable sheet of ice, with patches of snow marked carefully, leading anyone who steps on them into a routined path, which leads into the grand finale: a maze filled with deadly spikes!! ...except the deadly spikes are just nails and tacks, because apparently the magical closet doesn't produce deadly spikes. But!! Throughout the maze's paths, several bones start jutting in and out of the ground, providing a bit more of a challenge.]

IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO MAKE THE SWITCHES BY SCRATCH, AND TO CALIBRATE THE ICE PUZZLE, AND TO MAKE A PROPER MAZE WITHOUT THE PROPER SPIKES, BUT IT'S FINALLY DONE AND WAITING FOR YOU TO COMPLETE IT!!! COME TO THE HILLS AND TRY OUT THE PUZZLE FOR YOURSELF.

...OH, AND ALSO!! I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT MAKING SOMEONE TRY THIS KIND OF PUZZLE WOULD BE 'TOO DANGEROUS' AND 'MIGHT SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEBODY', EVEN THOUGH I'LL BE RIGHT HERE MAKING SURE THAT NO ONE ACTUALLY GETS INJURED, BUT I DID LEAVE OUT AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE TOO INTIMIDATED BY THIS PUZZLE. SEE?

[And once again, the camera swoops to the side. Nearby the gigantic puzzle, there's a table with neatly stacked books of jumbles, crosswords, sudoku and horoscopes.]

SO THERE!!! PUZZLES FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TOO SCARED OF MY AWESOME PUZZLE ARE HERE TOO!! COME BY WHENEVER!! I'LL BE HERE BY THE PUZZLE, MONITORING YOUR PROGRESS!!!

[And, true to his word, if you decide to go to the hills, there Papyrus will be waiting, along with his gigantic puzzle and the not so gigantic table filled with books. Do you dare take on the challenge?]

WOAH!

[Kokichi came out to the checkerboard hills to check it out, and he is not disappointed.]

You actually made it! That's so cool!

[Action]

[kingtrousele]

YEAH, OF COURSE!!! WHEN THE GREAT PAPYRUS SETS HIS MIND ON SOMETHING, HE WON'T STOP UNTIL IT'S COMPLETED!!!

[He strikes! A pose!!]

CARE TO GIVE IT A TRY, KOKICHI???

[Action]

[shslliar]

That's some dedication, huh?

[He peers into the maze, wondering if it's worth it...]

Mmmn. I dunno. The last person who invited me to play this kind of game rigged it against me. You wouldn't try to build a giant death trap, would you?

[ Monika stares for a good while.

Hmmmmm. ]

. . . What if you can't walk?

video

[kingtrousele]

IF YOU CAN'T WALK, THEN YOU CAN RUN OVER HERE AND THROUGH THE PUZZLE! OR SKIP!! OR FLY!!! THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN GET TO HERE!!

[255000255000255]

[ That wasn't what she was . . .

Okay, let's try rewording this a bit. ]

Ahaha, I can't do any of those! But say someone wanted to try your puzzle and didn't have legs. What would they do?

[pleasereset]

[Asriel's mouth is open in surprise. But honestly? This puzzle was so Papyrus that it makes him smile. It was like seeing a little piece of home.]

That's so cool, Papyrus!

[kingtrousele]

[Papyrus beams wide in return!]

MANY THANKS, ASRIEL!!! DO YOU WANT TO GIVE THE PUZZLE A SHOT???

[Video]

[didntknowbest]

Papyrus, please remove the nails and tacks immediately. Those look even more unsafe than the usual spikes used for such puzzles. There is also ice and snow everywhere, it would be extremely easy to slip onto them. And... are those bones meant to be pushing people onto the spikes??

This is not acceptable.

[Video]

[kingtrousele]

THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY, TORIEL!! HONESTLY!!! I'VE TESTED OUT THIS PUZZLE COUNTLESS TIMES TO ENSURE THAT IT IS PERFECTLY SAFE FOR EVERYONE TO TRY!! AND, AND, I'LL BE HERE MONITORING THE PUZZLE AS WELL, IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN!! AND!!! LOOK!!!

[He turns the camera to the table filled with different puzzle books.]

SEE??? A TOTALLY SAFE ALTERNATIVE TOO!!! THE ONLY DANGER HERE IS GETTING A PAPER CUT!!!

[Video]

[didntknowbest]

Yes, I saw the books. Those are a nice alternative, but not everyone is going to realize how dangerous your puzzle is before doing it. People are sometimes very reckless.

Did you fall onto the nails yourself, while testing? ...Would those even affect you the same way it would the many humans here? You do not really have skin to puncture, after all.

Perhaps you could replace the nails with notes that say "You have failed the puzzle, please return to the start." I think that would be much better for everyone involved!

[video]

[punful]

[Even by Papyrus's standards, this is impressive.]

oh man. this is so cool, bro. this must've taken forever.

[video]

[kingtrousele]

[He strikes a victorious pose!]

NATURALLY!!! IT TOOK ME MONTHS, AND MONTHS!! I THINK I STARTED IN...

[He looks up in thought.]

...LATE NOVEMBER!! NYEH HEH!! TIME REALLY FLIES WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON A BIG PROJECT!!!

[video]

[punful]

oh man. you really went all out. heh, talk about dedication. i'm real proud of you, bro.

[video]

[deadshapes]

...Dude, holy shit. Holy shit? This looks amazing. Are those nails? Dude. Hold on I'm gonna run that thing right now.

[video]

[kingtrousele]

YEAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!! I'LL BE WAITING RIGHT HERE!!!

[video]

[deadshapes]

Don't go anywhere, I'm coming. Can I bring my baseball bat? Is it okay if I like, smash the bones in that one section? Will they come back if I break 'em?

video

[naughty_nurse]

[OH NOOOOO HE ACTUALLY DID IT WHAT SHOULD SHE DO - oh. wait. He's going to make sure no one's hurt? And there's a safer alternative??

She exhales so deeply a lung might pop.]

Oh thank goodness...

video

[kingtrousele]

[Oh woah, what's gotten into Mikan? She must be relieved to see that the puzzle is completed too, yes.

He nods, sagely.]

I FEEL THE SAME WAY TOO, MIKAN. I THOUGHT I'D NEVER COMPLETE THIS PUZZLE FOR EVERYONE! BUT!! HERE WE ARE!!!

video

[ngah]

Damn, Papyrus. You really went all out, huh?

[Though that's par for the course as far as Papyrus is concerned.]

I'll pass on the puzzles, but I DEFINITELY want a front row seat to all the human's stumped faces!!! Imagine them slippin' around! Fuhuhu!!

video

[kingtrousele]

OF COURSE, UNDYNE!! EVERYONE IN WONDERLAND MUST SEE HOW WONDERFUL PUZZLES ARE! NYEH HEH HEH!!!

WELL, THERE SHOULD BE A LINE FORMING OF EVERYONE TRYING OUT THE PUZZLE ANY MINUTE NOW!!! YOU SHOULD COME OVER RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!

[nomorules]

What the hell!? Spikes!?

_{[Proper spikes, is how he'd phrased it. The fact there can be such a thing as proper booby trap spikes as opposed to the not-so-proper kind that might not be spikey enough for the booby trap is worrying.]}

And that's normal for you?

_{[No wonder he and Sans are so fucked up if they have to run an obstacle course just to get the mail or go to the toilet...]}

video;

[kingtrousele]

YES INDEEDY!!

[He nods with confidence, as if spikes are just a normal thing that people run into on a daily basis.]

IN MY HOME TOWN, ICE AND SPIKE PUZZLES ARE THE WAY TO GO!! ALTHOUGH IN OTHER PARTS OF THE UNDERGROUND, MORE TECHNIQUES ARE MORE POPULAR, SUCH AS THE WATER LILY BRIDGE PUZZLES AND THE, UGH, CONVEYOR BELT PUZZLES...IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU GO!!!

video

[worldtamer]

[Oh, puzzles! Niko is familiar with puzzles! Except--]

I don't think I've ever seen a puzzle like that before...

video

[kingtrousele]

WHAAAAT?? REALLY??? THESE ARE THE MOST POPULAR TYPES OF PUZZLES IN THE UNDERGROUND!!!

[How can anyone not know what a true, genuine puzzle looks like???]

THIS SIMPLY MUST BE RECTIFIED RIGHT NOW!!! YOU SHOULD COME OVER TO THE HILLS AND TRY OUT MY MAGNIFICENT PUZZLE!!!
