Chapter 7: Papyrus and Sans' Puzzles Part 1

After meeting the three, Victor and Minnie walk down the road together.

As they walk, Minnie asks, "So Victor, how did you end up down here? What happened? How long have you been down here? And well, how did you meet those two?"

"It happened around maybe two or three years ago. I came on top of the mountain one day and fell down the only entrance leading down there. I met this plant named Flower, he wasn't a very nice plant," Victor says.

"I met him before, and he's scary," Minnie says.

"Yeah. It's best to keep your distance away from him," Victor says.

"As I wander down here, I meet Papyrus, more like I ended up bumping into him and Sans. They ended up catching me and well, we ended up talking and such and I ended up staying with them," Victor says.

"I see," Minnie says.

"Don't take it too hard, those two are kind of harmless. However, they can be a bit annoying, especially with Sans' pranks, but he's a nice guy," Victor says.

"He seems nice enough," Minnie says.

Minnie then notices a strange booth with a crumble room along the path, or some kind of cardboard box.

"What's that?" Minnie asks.

"That's just a cardboard box front eh owner. It's a well crafted sentry station," Victor days.

"Sentry Station?" Minnie says, confused.

Minnie then asks, "Who could have built that? A famous Royal Guardsman?"

"Not really. It's one of Papyrus', I think," Victor says.

"Okay," Minnie says, confused.

The two children continue walking down the path. They soon come across the sign.

Minnie reads it, "Absolutely no moving!"

"No moving?" Minnie replies, confused.

"Trust me, it's best you don't move when you stand at that building over there," Victor says.

"Okay," Minnie says.

Then Victor whispers, "There's a creature named Doggo, and if you battle him, make sure you just pet him, and when he attacks don't move, and don't make a sound."

Minnie then nods her head in reply.

Minnie and Victor then begin to walk to the small building ahead. Then Victor advises Minnie to stop and she does. Suddenly, a white dog wearing a black mask sticks his head out and looks around. The raises up to reveal wearing a vest of some kind. The dog creature looks around for something.

The dog creature asks, "Did something move? Was it my imagination? I can only see moving things. If something was moving… For example, a human… I'll make sure it never moves again!"

Minni flinches and does her best not to move. Suddenly, Minnie and Victor's board stands in front of them. Minnie quickly checks the dogs' status. It reads' Doggo 6 ATK 1 DEF. Easily excited by movement. Hobbies include: Squirrels.

The creature, Doggo says, "Don't move an inch!"

Minnie and Victor don't move their hearts as the sword goes across the screen, and Doggo doesn't see them. Minnie remembers what Victor said about the Dog and selects a pet button on her screen. When she does that, Doggo begins to get scared.

"What! I've been pet!" Doggo panics.

Doggo continues to panic as the sword comes across the screen and Minnie and Victor don't move their hearts at all. After that, Minnie selects pet again.

Doggo panics, "Where's that coming from?!"

Again, Doggo continues to panic as the sword comes across the screen and Minnie and Victor don't move their hearts at all. Minnie then decides to press spare and she earns 30 pieces of gold.

Doggo says, "S-s-something pet me… something that isn't m-m-moving. I'm going to need dog treats for this!"

Then Doggo ducks his head back in the box.

Victor whispers to Minnie, "Let's go."

Minnie nods her head. Victor and Minnie then walk past the booth and down the path. Minnie looks to see dog treats, and it seems to have burn marks on it. Almost like the dog treats are being used as cigarettes. Minnie and Victor continue to walk down the path until they see Sans.

Victor says, "Hey Sans."

"Hey Vic. Hey Mins. Here's something important for you to remember. My brother has a very special attack," Sans says.

"Huh?" Minnie says, confused.

"He means that if we see a blue attack, don't move and it won't hurt you," Victor says.

"Correct Victor," Sans says.

Then tells Minnie, "Here's an easy way to keep it in mind. Imagine a stop sign. When you see a stop sign, you stop. Stop signs are red, so imagine a blue stop sign instead. Simple, right? When fighting, think about blue stop signs."

"I guess it does," Minnie says.

"Thanks for the help," Victor says.

The two then begin to walk down and come across the sign. The sign reads, North: Ice. South: Ice. West: Ice: Snowdin Town… and ice.

"Not many places to go, is there?" Minnie asks.

"Nope. I'll show you," Victor says.

They first head north and walk down the path to see a snowman.

"Hello. I'm Snowman. I want to see the world… but I cannot move. If you would be so kind, travelers, please… take a piece of me and bring it very far away," The Snowman says.

Minnie answers, "Sure.

The Snowman happily says, "Thank you… good luck!"

The Snowman gives Minnie a piece of it and she puts it in her bag. Then the two walk down the path and then go in a different direction. When they walk down further, they reach a large square area and with Sans and Papyrus on the other side.

"What are they doing?" Minnie asks.

"This is one of Papyrus' riddles, and as for them, they're arguing again. More like, Papyrus is yelling at Sans again," Victor says.

On the other side, "Papyrus angrily says, "You're so lazy! You were napping all night!"

"I think it's called… sleeping," Sans says.

Papyrus yells, "Excuses, excuses!"

Victor sighs and then calls out, "Hey guys!"

The two skeleton brothers look to see Victor with Minnie.

"Hey Victor… Oh… Oh… the girl arrives! In order to stop you… my brother and I have created some puzzles! I think you will find this one… Quite shocking!" Papyrus says.

Minnie blinks her eyes a few times with a confused look.

Minnie turns to Victor, "What does he mean?"

"He means most of this floor is going to give you a bad shock if you step in the wrong spot," Victor bluntly says.

Papyrus says, "Victor, I'm the one who needs to explain it."

Then says to Minnie, "For you see, this is the invisible… electricity maze! When you touch the walls of this maze, this orb will administer a hearty zap! Sounds like fun! Because, the amount of fun you will probably have is actually rather small I think"

"Uh no," Minnie says.

"Okay, you can go ahead now," Papyrus says.

Minnie and Victor then walk over to take a look at this maze. Suddenly, Papyrus is zapped and is black like charcoal.

Victor facepalms his forehead, "Not again."

Papyrus angrily turns to Sans, "Sans! What did you do?!"

"I think the human has to hold the orb," Sans says.

"Oh okay," Papyrus says.

Papyrus then walks inside the maze. As he walks through the made, his footprints end up making a trail.

He brings out a light blue orb, "Hold this please. And Victor, don't try to help her."

"If you say so," Victor says.

He then gives Minnie the orb and walks back the way he came.

Once he's back, Papyrus says, "Okay. Go."

Minnie and Victor then walk down the path and follow Papyrus' footsteps in the snow. Soon, they reach the other side.

Papyrus surprisingly says, "Incredible! You slippery snail! You solved it so easily… too easily! However, the next puzzle will not be easy! It is designed by my brother, Sans! You will surely be confused! I know I am."

He chuckles and walks off.

Minnie says, dumbfounded, "He's an odd character."

"Yeah. He is," Victor says.

The two then walk to Sans, and he says, "Hey, thanks… my brother seems like he's having fun."

"I suppose so," Minnie says.

"Yeah," Victor says, rolling his eyes.

"By the way, did you see that weird outfit he's wearing?" Sans asks.

"Uh yes," Minnie says, sounding confused.

"We made that a few weeks ago for a costume party," Sans says.

"He did?" Minnie asks.

"He did," Victor says, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah. He hasn't worn anything since… keeps calling it his 'battle body,' Man, isn't my brother cool?" Sans says.

Minnie simply giggles in reply.

"More like completely weird," Victor says.

Then turns to Minnie, "Come on Minnie, let's go."

"Okay," Minnie says.

Minnie and Victor continue to travel down the path. Soon, they meet a monster with a wagon. They walk up to him to see him looking depressed.

He says, "I don't understand why these aren't selling… it's the perfect weather for something cold…"

Minnie then asks, "Um excuse me."

"Oh a customer. Hello, would you like some nice cream? It's a frozen treat that warms your heart. Now just 15G" The monster asks.

Both of the children answer, "We would like one each!"

The monster then hands them the nice cream and says, "Here you go! Have a super-duper day!

The two walk over the bridge as they eat their nice cream.

Minnie says, "I actually like it."

"I know," Victor says.

Minnie then notices, "Look, it's a snowball."

"Let's go play with it," Victor says.

Victor then kicks the ball down the road. Minnie does the same. Soon, the two kids play with the snowball as it bounces off the walls. Victor then sees a hole and kicks the ball inside the hold. When it goes in the hole, a green flag comes up.

The monitor reads, "Green -Your concern and care for 'Ball' led you to a delicious victory." Then it reads. You are awarded 1G."

The two walk down the path until they see Sans and Papyrus here.

Papyrus notices, "Victor! Human girl!"

Minnie sternly says, "I have a name! It's Minnie!"

"Right. I hope you're ready for…" Papyrus says.

But turns to Sans and asks, "Sans! Where's the puzzle?!"

"It's right there. On the ground. Trust me. There's no way they can get past this one," Sans says.

Minnie looks on the ground a short distance to see the paper is on the ground. Minnie then walks over and picks up the paper.

She reads, "Monster Kids Work Search?"

Then notices a block of ice with a dog face. On the paper it says, "Hey kids! Can you help me solve this puzzle?"

"Huh?" Minnie says, confused.

Minnie then puts the paper down and walks to Papyrus.

Seeing this Papyrus calls out, "Sans! That didn't do anything!"

"Whoops. I knew I should have used today's crossword instead," Sans replies.

"What?! Crossword?!" Papyrus says, confused and annoyed.

Then angrily says, "I can't believe you said that! In my opinion… Junior Jumble is easily the hardest."

"What? Really, dude? That easy-peasy word scramble?" Sans says. Then begins laughing.

Victor laughs and says, "Yeah. That's for baby bones."

"Uh… believable…" Papyrus says, stunned.

He then turns to Minnie, "Hey kid.. Minnie. Silver this dispute! Which is harder? Jumble or Crossword?"

"Hmm…" Minnie soon begins to think.

Minnie then says, "I have to say crossword puzzles are harder."

"You three are weird! Crosswords are easy. It's the same solution every time. I just fill all the boxes in with the letter 'Z'..." Papyrus says.

"The letter 'Z?' Why?" Minnie asks.

"Because every time I look at a crossword… all I can do is snore!" Papyrus says. He then laughs and runs off.

Minnie and Victor lower their heads with annoyed expressions on their faces.

Sans says, "Papyrus… finds difficulty in interesting places."

"You can say that again," Minnie replies.

"No kidding. Yesterday he got stumped trying to 'solve' the horoscope," Victor says.

"Horoscope? Those things aren't even a puzzle. They're like fortune telling," Minnie says.

"Try telling him that," Victor says, annoyed.

He sighs and says, "Come on, let's go."

Minnie and Victor continue to walk along the trail. Soon, they find a paper next to a table that has spaghetti on it and it's next to some microwave or something. In front of them, there is a Health Star.

"What's this?" Minnie asks.

"Another one of Papyrus' stuff," Victor says.

Minnie picks up the note and reads it, "Human! Please enjoy this spaghetti. Little do you know, this spaghetti is a trap… designed to entice you! You'll be so busy eating it… that you won't realize that you aren't progressing thoroughly japed again by the Great Papyrus! Nyeh-heh-huh. Papyrus."

Minnie says, confused, "That Skeleton is so weird. And he thinks I'm weird."

"Trust me, you get used to it," Victor says.

Minnie then looks at the spaghetti and tries to pull the plate and the fork. However, they are frozen and they are stuck to the table.

"So much for eating it," Minnie bluntly says.

She then walks to the star, "Let's charge up and then let's get going."

Minnie goes to the Health Star and charges up their health. Victor does the same. The two continue to walk down the path to solve the next riddle. However. Minnie and Victor are concerned about her annoying, weird, and ridiculous the riddles will become.
