(ring, ring...)
HI!
THIS IS KIND OF WIERD AND SPOOKY, LEAVING A VOICEMAIL FOR SOMEONE WHO ISN'T WITH US ANYMORE. SANS SAID THAT I MIGHT FEEL A LITTLE LESS ANGRY IF I TALKED TO YOU THOUGH, I HOPE HE'S RIGHT. I REALLY WISH YOU WERE WITH US THOUGH, I THINK IT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL IF YOU CAME BACK AS A SKELETON AND BECOME FRIENDS WITH ME AGAIN, AM I RIGHT? NYEH-HEH-HEH!
(sigh) SORRY, I GUESS I WAS SECRETLY HOPING FOR A RESPONSE...
FRISK, YOU WERE MY FIRST REAL FRIEND, YOU SURE WERE FUN TO HANG OUT WITH BUT I GUESS THOSE DAYS ARE OVER NOW. I'LL HANG OUT AT YOUR GRAVE FOR A WHILE THOUGH AND KEEP YOU COMPANY, I IMAGINE THINGS MIGHT GET LONELY WITH EVERYBODY BEING SO BUSY, MYSELF INCLUDED. I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE GOTTEN TIRED OF LOOKING AT YOUR GRAVE LOOKING SO DOOMY AND GLOOMY! A HERO'S GRAVE SHOULD INSPIRE AND IMPRESS! SO I'VE DECIDED TO SURROUND IT WITH FLOWERS! I'VE PICKED YOUR FAVORITE COLORS, PURPLE AND PINK!
Trust me, the less I see of yellow flowers the better...
I'M ANGRY AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S A VERY UNPLEASANT FEELING AND I HATE IT! I'VE FAILED YOU... IF I WERE STRONGER, IF I WERE LESS NAIVE, IF I WERE LESS SOFT I WOULD'VE FIGURED OUT THAT FLOWEY WAS EVIL FROM THE BEGINNING, I WOULD'VE KILLED HIM BEFORE HE KILLED YOU, I WOULD'VE SAVED YOU! BUT INSTEAD I JUST STOOD THERE HELPLESSLY WHILE YOU FACED HIM ALONE. IT WAS I WHO WAS TRICKED INTO LEADING HIM TO YOU, AND THEN WHEN YOU TRULY NEEDED MY HELP I BLACKED OUT. BY THE TIME I AND THE OTHERS CAME TO...
I... I CAN'T DISCUSS THIS ANYMORE...
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW THOUGH. UNDYNE TAUGHT ME THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO FIGHT, AND SOMETIMES THE WORLD IS, UNFORTUNATELY, KILL OR BE KILLED. I NEVER REALLY TOOK HER SERIOUSLY AT THE TIME, I THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A PEACEFUL SOLUTION TO ANYTHING BUT ALAS, FLOWEY MADE A LIAR OUT OF ME. I NEVER WANT TO LOSE ANOTHER ONE OF MY FRIENDS! I WANT TO PROTECT EVERYONE, I WANT TO BE STRONGER... NO! I WANT TO BE THE STRONGEST MONSTER OF ALL TIME! THAT WAY NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO HARM MY FRIENDS AGAIN! I WON'T LET THEM TAKE A SINGLE SLIVER OF THEIR HOPE, THEIR HP, SINCE EVEN THAT SINGLE POINT OF HOPE IS ENOUGH TO MAKE MY BROTHER TURN TO DUST. SO I'LL TRAIN, I'LL FIGHT, AND I'LL GET STRONGER NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS AND NO MATTER HOW LONELY I BECOME! I'LL TURN MY ANGER INTO STRENGTH AND SMASH ALL THE BAD GUYS WHO THREATEN THE PEOPLE I LOVE!
I'LL NEVER FAIL AGAIN!
WHOOPSIE! GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY THERE, NYEH-HEH-HEH! YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE TOO INTERESTED IN HEARING ME ACT LIKE A GROUCH, SO I'LL TELL YOU SOME MUCH HAPPIER NEWS! HMM, WHERE TO START...
OH! ALPHYS RECENTLY WON SOMETHING CALLED A "NOBEL PRIZE". SHE'S REALLY GOT HER ACT TOGETHER SINCE SHE GOT TO THE SURFACE AND DECIDED TO DEVOTE HER TIME AND VAST SCIENTIFICAL SMARTNESS TO SOLVING THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS! SHE'S CURED DISEASES, HELPED CLEAN UP THE AIR WITH HER INVENTIONS AND CLEAN ENERGY AND HELPED DESIGN A MEANS OF CREATING LOTS OF FOOD FOR EVERYONE! SHE'S WON A LOT OF ADMIRATION AND RESPECT, BOTH AMONG THE MONSTERS AND EVEN THOSE GRUMPY HUMANS. SHE LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TOO! SHE'S LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT, SHE PRESENTS HERSELF BETTER, STANDS TALLER AND PROUDER NOW AND LOOKS MUCH LESS... ASHAMED OF HERSELF. HER STUTTER HAS NOW BEEN REDUCED TO THREE OR LESS EXTRA SYLLABLES FOR EVERY 10 WORDS, AND SHE HAS YOU TO THANK FOR IT, HURRAH! SHE GAVE YOU A PRETTY AWESOME SHOUT OUT AT HER ACCEPTANCE SPEECH TOO, YOU SHOULD BE PROUD. SHE SAID THAT IF A HUMAN CAN SAVE MONSTERS WHO TRIED TO KILL THEM THAN A MONSTER CAN SAVE HUMANS EVEN IF THE HUMANS WANT THEM GONE.
THAT BEING SAID. SHE WAS SORT OF BUMMED OUT THOUGH WHEN SHE DISCOVERED THAT HER TASTE IN ANIME IS TERRIBLE. ANIMONSTER GAVE MEW MEW KISSY CUTIE 1 OUT OF 10 STARS AND ANIMENIAC CALLED IT "A BOILING POT OF CLICHES", I GUESS THAT WOULD PROBABLY EXPLAIN WHY SHE KEPT FINDING THE DVDS IN THE GARBAGE.
AND THEN THERE'S UNDYNE, NYEH-HEH-HEH! SHE WAS SO MAD WHEN SHE DISCOVERED ANIME WASN'T REAL! ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE WAS WALKING AROUND THE SURFACE ASKING EVERYBODY IF THEY KNEW WHERE SEPHIROTH LIVED BECAUSE HE HAD A RAD SWORD AND ASKING WHERE ALL THE GUNDAMS WERE, IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER! TOO BAD YOU WEREN'T THERE TO SEE IT. UNDYNE HAS BECOME GENERAL UNDYNE NOW, BASICALLY JUST UNDYNE WITH REALLY BAD ASS GOLDEN ARMOR AND AN ENTIRE ARMY OF MONSTERS TO COMMAND. SHE STILL HANGS OUT WITH ALPHYS AND I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, OF COURSE, BUT THE TWO OF THEM ARE USUALLY REALLY BUSY WITH THEIR WORK. SHE'S SAD THAT YOU'RE GONE, BUT SHE DOESN'T HATE HUMANS AS MUCH AS SHE USED TO. SHE'S MORE INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED NOW THAT SHE BETTER UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HERO.
HOW AM I DOING?
WELL, SANS PROBABLY ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT MYSELF AND TORIEL. I'M WORRIED ABOUT SANS THOUGH. HE SEEMS TO HAVE TROUBLE DEALING WITH REALITY, HE'S UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AT ANY TIME YOU'RE GOING TO... COME BACK. HE SAID HE'S WAITING FOR YOU TO RESET, AND THAT ONE DAY HE'LL WAKE UP IN THE OLD SNOWDIN, AT HIS POST BEFORE YOU SHOWED UP AND THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. OF COURSE, THAT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU CAN'T JUST "TURN BACK THE CLOCK", THIS ISN'T A VIDEO GAME WHERE THERE'S A COSMIC RESET BUTTON WHERE YOU CAN START OVER AND DO EVERYTHING DIFFERENTLY, I WISH THAT WERE THE CASE. SANS DIDN'T EVEN SEEM THAT HURT WHEN YOU DIED TO BE HONEST. THIS ISN'T HIM BEING COLD OR UNCARING, IT'S A STRANGE KIND OF INDIFFERENCE THAT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN AND IS KINDA CREEPY. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS LIKE SEEING A VERY SHOCKING PLOT TWIST IN A MOVIE, BUT THEN WATCHING THE MOVIE OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE TWIST NO LONGER HAS ANY MEANING TO IT. IT'S LIKE "YEAH, I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE."
WELL THEN, IT'S BEEN NICE TALKING TO YOU FRISK! I LEFT YOU A CAN OF MY FINEST SPAGHETTI AT YOUR GRAVE IN CASE YOU BECOME A ZOMBIE AND GET HUNGRY. SANS WAS RIGHT, I DO FEEL A LOT BETTER! NYEH-HEH-HEH... heh... hmph.
Whatever...
Take care of yourself buddy. I'm going to pay a visit to the core and blow some steam, I always hated that place. If you see my dad in the afterlife tell him I said hi and sorry for smashing up his creation.
