"Y-you're a skeleton!" she exclaimed, startled by the appearance of the skeleton in the blue hoodie.
"You're a human?! Hey! you said you were a ghost. Wait, but you just walked through that door. What are ya kid? a human or a monster?" the Skeleton asked, surprised.
Two white rings appeared around her, and Lady changed into her ghostly half. "Well, Technically I'm both. My Dad was a ghost and my Mom's a human. I got trapped here while I was exploring the ghost zone, and now I can't leave." she said meekly. Instead of replying, the skeleton said nothing, and he seemed to be staring at a corner of the ground intently. "Um, what are you doing?" Lady asked.
"Looking at your check box. It's blank. That's strange, there's usually stuff in there." he told her.
"My what?" Lady asked, and a jar containing coins appeared next to the skeleton.
"What? No way that counts! I didn't even explain it!" he yelled at the sky. The jar rattled seemingly on its own, and the skeleton sighed and he tossed a coin in. "Fine. but that's all you're getting today, got it?!" he said, and the jar disappeared to wherever it'd come from.
"Hey, do you need to be left alone?" Lady asked, unsure of what had just occurred. Seeing what had just occurred filled her with something, almost like determination, but different somehow? what was it called again? Oh yeah, enough, Lady felt as though she had been filled with Spirit.
"Nah, a friend and I have a 4th wall break jar set up. I just broke it, so I had to put in a coin. I should probably introduce myself now. I'm Comic Sans, but you can call me Sans." Sans told her.
"Nice to meet you, I already told you my name, but you can call me Lady if you want. Most people do." She said, Shaking San's skeletal hand.
"Ok. Say, why do you need a secret identity anyway?" Sans asked.
Lady blushed. "Well, where I'm from, I'm kinda a superhero. I can't let people know who I really am or it'd put my friends and family in danger. I know that they're safe back home, but I think it's probably better to keep it a secret still, just in case." she explained.
"A superhero huh? we haven't had one of those down here lately. It's kinda surprising to actually meet one, I thought you guys were a myth." Sans told her.
Lady smirked. "I could say the same for skeletons! I once met a few ghosts who looked like skeletons before in Auntie Dora's court, but that's not exactly the same thing. Anyway, I'm glad we met. Most of the monsters seem to hate me here, but you seem nice." she said.
"Yeah, I'd imagine so. King Asgore decreed that humans are to be treated as our enemies, so most monsters probably wouldn't give you the most glowing of receptions, even if you are half ghost. Don't let it phase you though kid. " Sans told Lady.
Lady half-smiled at San's awful puns. "Thanks, I try not to let it bother me. what's really gotten to me so far is that I don't seem to have a purpose here. Ever since I got trapped I've been hiding in the ruins, unsure what to do next. I met Tori and Blookie there, and they've been so kind, but I just think there's something more out there for me. I used to go on all sorts of adventures back home, but now I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do." she admitted.
"Don't worry, I'm sure something will come up. it's not like she'll leave you like this forever. She's way too competitive with ol' birdbrain for that to happen." Sans reassured Lady, and once again the jar appeared. Sans sighed. "Okay, I deserve that one. But it's true you know, you 2 can be worse than me and Paps sometimes." he said to a certain smirking unseen force and Sans tossed another coin in the jar. The Jar disappeared to where it originated from,
"Who?" Lady asked, unsure who Sans was referring to.
Not wanting to have to put yet more money in a certain jar, [A.N.:👻 to you Sans! oh darn, that's one for the jar! *sound of coin clinking on glass and jar breaking* Darn! Now I have to get a new jar. well, I'm totally blaming this on Sans. He obviously threw his coin at the jar too hard, and that must've weakened it. Yeah, riiiiight. Totally going with that.] Sans said "My brother, he's named Papyrus but I call him Paps. He and I work at the century station(s). He's so cool, he wants to be in the royal guard! Hey! I just got an Idea. Would you mind letting my brother see you later on? I won't let him capture you, but it'd make his day." Sans said.
Lady smiled at the thought of actually helping someone again. "Sure, I'll stop by later on if I can. at least I'd be doing something useful for once." she said.
"Thanks. Well, it's getting late and I gotta return to my post now, but I'll see ya around kid." Sans said, and walked off.
"See you later Sans! it was nice chatting! " Lady bid the Skeleton goodbye, and she returned to the ruins.
[A.N.: ALLRIGHT! I confess! I broke the jar, it was all my fault! I just blamed it on Sans, and I really shouldn't have, cause he's kinda a nice guy, and now I feel terrible! I don't even know why I blamed him, I'm such a mean person.]
{Sans: That's ok, I forgive ya, just don't do it again.}
[A.N.: Sans?! thanks for forgiving me, but how did you get here?]
{Sans: Don't worry about it, I have my ways. By the way, you owe the new jar a coin.}
[A.N.: What?! No way this counts as a 4th wall break! it's not in the actually story line!]
{Sans: If me reading Lady's check box counts, this little "commentary section" does also. Come on, toss one in.}
[A.N.: Fine. *fishes coin out of purse, gently puts it in the jar, thankfully this one doesn't break* There, we're even now. Spoilsport.]
{Sans: *says nothing, but smiles annoyingly at me and casually makes his exit, stage left*}
