What kind of puzzle could Papyrus has come up with. Frisk thought while walking along the path in the snow. Huh, what's that up ahead?
As she thought that, Frisk walked up to a small outpost with a crooked roof before reading a sign on it.
"YOU OBSERVE THE WELL-CRAFTED SENTRY STATION. WHO COULD HAVE BUILT THIS, YOU PONDER… I BET IT WAS THAT VERY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN! (NOTE: NOT YET A FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN.)" Frisk read before smiling. "Maybe Sans was right."
With those words, Frisk walked past the "WELL-CRAFTED SENTRY STATION" before walking past a second one.
"Who's there?" questioned a voice. "Did something move, I can only see moving things."
Huh, who's there? Frisk thought nervously before a dog jumped out from the second sentry station with a knife in its paw.
"If something were moving, like say a human. I'd make sure it never moved again." the dog stated before swinging its knife in front of Frisk only to miss and start looking around.
Maybe if I just pet him he'll be happy, Frisk thought as the dog turned it's back to her and she gently scratched it behind the ear.
"What, I've just been pet, pet by something that isn't moving!" the dog exclaimed before starting to freak out. "This is too much, I need some dog treats for this one."
With those words the dog jumped back into the sentry station, leaving Frisk alone before she smiled and continued walking down the path.
"hey, you look pretty happy." Sans pointed out.
"I like dogs, they're really nice." Frisk explained with a smile.
"cool, oh yeah that reminds me. you should know my brother has a really special attack." Sans mentioned. "it you see something blue, just don't move and it won't hurt you."
"Don't move when it's blue, alright thanks Sans." Frisk said thankfully.
"heh, no problem I said that I'd keep an eyesocket out for you." Sans explained calmly. "actually, there's something up that side path you might want to take a look at."
"Really, thanks for telling me." Frisk answered. "Oh, actually could I ask you something Sans?"
"ask away kid, I don't know if I'll be able to answer but I'll throw you a bone." Sans said with a grin, causing Frisk to giggle at the pun.
"I was just wondering if you knew any of the other humans that fell down here." Frisk explained sadly.
"not personally, you're the eighth one though. why do you ask Frisk?" Sans inquired.
"Oh." Frisk noted sadly. "I was just hoping you knew if my big sister was still safe."
"big sister, I don't know." Sans admitted. "what's her name, maybe my bro knows her."
"Chara, my sister's name is Chara." Frisk answered. "She should have come to the underground two years ago.
"Chara, alright well I'll see if I can find out anything." Sans said calmly. "no promises I can find anything but maybe I'll pick up something."
"Thank you Sans." Frisk said with a small smile before walking past Sans onto an icy patch on the snow and slipping down a side pathway.
"Oh, human are you quite busy?" inquired a snowman in front of her.
"A little, but I think I can talk." Frisk answered. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh no, nothing is wrong. I just would like to see the world but since I'm a snowman I can't move." the snowman explained. "So if it isn't too much to ask, could you please take a piece of me and take it somewhere far away?"
"I can do that." Frisk answered before taking a small handful of snow from the Snowman's body. "Is that all you wanted?"
"Yes, thank you very much human." the snowman replied happily.
"You're welcome." Frisk answered before walking back too the path she was on and continuing before noticing Sans and Papyrus standing on the other side of a darker patch of snow.
"YOU'RE SO LAZY!" Papyrus snapped. "YOU WERE NAPPING ALL NIGHT!"
"I think that's called sleeping." Sans pointed out.
"EXCUSES, EXCUSES!" Papyrus snapped before noticing Frisk. "OH-HO! THE HUMAN ARRIVES! IN ORDER TO STOP YOU MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CEATED SOME PUZZLES."
"That sounds kind of fun." Frisk mentioned with a smile.
"OH, YOU'RE QUITE THE SMART HUMAN AREN'T YOU?" Papyrus inquired before revealing a blue orb. "WELL THIS FIRST PUZZLE IS THE INVISIBLE ELECTRICITY MAZE! IF YOU TOUCH THE WALLS OF THIS MAZE THIS ORB WILL DELIVER AN ELECTRIC SHOCK! YOU CAN START WHENEVER YOU WANT HUMAN."
"hold on bro, shouldn't the human be the one holding the orb?" Sans asked.
"WHAT, YOU MAY HAVE A POINT SANS." Papryus noted before walking through the maze leaving his footprints in the snow. "HERE YOU ARE HUMAN."
With those words, Papyrus quickly walked back to stand next to Sans.
"Ok, here goes nothing." Frisk said before following Papyrus's footprints and getting through the maze.
"INCREDIBLE, YOU SOLVED THIS PUZZLE SO EASILY. YOU MUST REALLY LOVE THEM." Papyrus exclaimed in shock and happiness. "WELL IN THAT CASE YOU'LL LIKELY LOVE THE NEXT PUZZLE TOO, IT WAS CREATED BY MY BROTHER AND WILL SURELY LEAVE YOU DUMBFOUNDED. I KNOW I AM!"
With those words Papyrus walked off with a grin on his face while laughing.
"hey, thanks for playing along Frisk." Sans mentioned. "my brother looks like he's having a lot of fun."
"That's good, he's really good at making puzzles." Frisk noted.
"yeah, he's had a lot of time to practice." Sans explained. "oh yeah, and you saw that outfit he has on. he calls it his "battle body", man isn't Paps cool?"
"Yeah, he is." Frisk agreed, with a smile. "Well I should keep going, he still has some fun puzzles right?"
"yeah, oh and I haven't forgotten about Chara." Sans said calmly. "if I hear anything I'll be sure to let you know."
"Thanks Sans, that really means a lot." Frisk admitted before walking after Papyrus.
(Frisk has told Sans about her older sister Chara who also went to the Underground, and he's offered to look into if anyone knows her. Next chapter Frisk will continue traveling through Snowdin. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
