Sans quickly makes his way to the "barrier" Papyrus constructed to keep humans out, and hides behind a tree not far away.
It doesn't take long until he hears tiny little footsteps crunching in the fresh snow, and the sound of chattering teeth closing in on him. The figure stops immediately as soon as they reach the "barrier".
i guess i'll go do what i'm supposed to... he sighs, as the lazy skelebro gets up and walks behind the human.
"Is that anyway to treat a new friend? Now, turn around and shake my hand,"
The human turns around to face the strange voice behind him. Yellow skin, medium length brown hair, a blank expression on his face, and a blue sweater with purple stripes circled around their chest.
They reach out to shake the boney hand, but are greeted with a loud farting noise as the skeleton on the end howls with laughter.
"heh, the old whoopee couson in the hand trick. it never gets old," Sans winks, "hi, i'm sans. sans the skeleton. you're a human right?"
The human nods silently.
"thats hilarious. well... i'm supposed to be on watch for humans right now. but y'know. i don't really feel like capturing anybody at the moment."
The human looks at Sans with a confused look on their face.
"alright, come with me. don't worry. my bro built this so the spokes are wide enough for you to walk through. by the way, what's your name?"
"...Frisk." they say silently, as Sans grabs their hand and runs towards his sentry station.
"Okay, well then frisk, go hide behind that conveniently shaped lamp. my brother, papyrus, is going to stomp in here any moment now. and trust me, you don't want him to see you."
Frisk nods and quickly walks towards the lamp that was somehow built in their exact shape.
"SANS!" Soon, another skeleton? In a strange outfit composed completely out of plastic runs up to Sans with a pissed off look on his face, "ITS BEEN THREE DAYS AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T RECALIBRATED YOUR PUZZLES YET! YOU JUST HANG AROUND YOUR SENRY STATION WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?!"
Sans looks off to the side. "nothin much, just lookin' at this cool lamp. c'mon take a look."
"NO! SANS YOU KNOW I DON'T HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT!" Papyrus stamps his foot against the ice, miraculously not slipping, "WHAT IF A HUMAN COMES TROUGH HERE! WE CAN'T JUST BE SITTING AROUND LOOKING AT LAMPS YOU IMBASOL! I WANT TO BE READY!"
"I WILL BE THE ONE! I MUST BE THE ONE! I WILL CAPTURE A HUMAN! THEN I,THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL GET ALL THE THINGS A HEROICALLY DESERVE!" he stands in a somewhat narcissistic stance, "RESPECT, RECOGNITION, I WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD! PEOPLE WILL ASK TO BE MY FRIEND! AND I WILL ACCEPT IT WITH HUGE HONOR! I WILL BATHE IN A SHOWER OF WARM KISSES EVERY MORNING!"
"hmmm, maybe looking at this lamp will help ya." the older skelebro glances at Frisk before Papyrus begins having a fit.
"SANS! YOU ARE NOT HELPING! YOU LAZYBONES! ALL YOU DO IS SIT AROUND AND DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! YOU GET LAZIER AND LAZIER EVERYDAY!"
"hey, take it easy. i've gotten a ton of work done, a skele-TON!" Sans turns and winks at an imaginary camera as an annoying "da-dum-TISS!" plays in the background.
"SANS!"
"c'mon, you're smiling."
"I AM AND I HATE IT! SIGH... WHY DOES SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME, HAVE TO DO SO MUCH JUST TO GET SOME RECOGNITION?"
"wow, sounds like you're working yourself... done to the bone!" Sans yet again turns around and shrugs at an imaginary camera with "da-dum-TISS!" playing in the back ground.
"UGH! I WILL ATTEND TO MY PUZZLES... AS FOR YOUR WORK? PUT A LITTLE MORE... BACKBONE INTO IT! NYEH-HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!"
"HEH!"
Papyrus runs out from the area and into the woods in front of him.
"ok. you can come out now."
Frisk steps away and quickly runs over to Sans, "He's a little weird isn't he?" they ask in a small voice.
"heh, yeah. you better get going. if he comes back... you'll have to sit through more of my hilarious jokes."
Frisk quickly clings themselves to Sans' arm, and looks up at him with a scared look.
"whats the holdup? there's nothin' to be afraid of. it's just a dark cavern filled with skeletons and monsters." he winks.
Frisk nods and unhooks themselves before running off.
"also, this may be a bit of a stretch. but my brother has been feeling pretty down these past few days. so if you could maybe reveal yourself to him as a human, that would make a world of difference. thanks a bunch." Sans quickly calls out before seemingly dissapearing into thin air.
