I'm not really concerned with whats worse, Sans.

I'm more concerned with who you are and what I don't know.

[skelebro]

Trust me, nobody really wants to know that guy.

[drabsolutelynot]

I'm afraid my trust would be misplaced.

I do.

1/2

[skelebro]

Yeah?

[skelebro]

Hope you don't object to killin' a kid.

[drabsolutelynot]

You know I do.

But, if I am honest, Sans, after speaking to you and to Frisk it's almost like I am starting to expect it from the Underground.

[skelebro]

Seein' as it technically never happened, I guess that's up to you.

[drabsolutelynot]

Are we talking about timelines again?

[skelebro]

More or less. Yeah.

[drabsolutelynot]

So in the timelines where you killed a child, why did you do it?

[skelebro]

It was kind of a "no other choice" type deal.

Or, uh...somethin' like that. Not really excusable. But it was sit back and watch 'em pretty much end the world, or actually get up and do something about it.



So, y'know. For once?

I did something.

.

2/2

[drabsolutelynot]

Was it Frisk?

[skelebro]

I sure as hell thought it was.

Turns out it wasn't even just Frisk. It was another SOUL ridin' piggyback, too.

[A two-for-one deal. Just for him.]

[drabsolutelynot]

Chara?

[skelebro]

Bingo.

[Good thing this is only a meme, right?]

i am struggling that I don't have appropriately distraught Rosen icons

[drabsolutelynot]

[seriously though]

Is there anyone in your world that doesn't have to kill?

[Have to are the key words here]

it's ok i have enough distraught icons for us both

[skelebro]

Well, sure. No one has to.

We just tell ourselves that.

[With a healthy dose of cheerful self-deprecation. So he's self-aware of it. Don't make it right.]

I can always count on you to bring the hurt :P

[drabsolutelynot]

[Rosen really wanted you to take the get out 'have to' card, Sans. If only for his own self-deceipt. But that is antithetical to the meme, isn't it?]

What would have happened if you didn't?

;^]

[skelebro]

If I hadn't tried?



I die. Monsters die. More monsters die. The king - he won't be strong enough to FIGHT back, so I guess he dies. And then...that's where the reports end. Total cessation of everything.

The world just...stops.

Maybe forever.

You just proved my point

[drabsolutelynot]

Try or tried?

;^] ;^] ;^] ;^] ;^]

[skelebro]

Both?

I dunno.

All gets hard to pick apart after a while.

[drabsolutelynot]

Then...

[He hates the world you come from, Sans. He does. Rosen cannot think anything else about it but loathing. And he hates that people he's cannot stop himself from caring about are inextricably tied to a place with such an apparent penchant for desperation and cruelty.]

...what is the last thing that happened before you came here?

[skelebro]

[Hah. Ha ha.

Good thing that honest is "forced," right? He draws a thin line down along the edge of his clavicle, a diagonal drag of one phalanx down to the opposite hip.]

I got what was comin' to me.

[drabsolutelynot]

What the honest to god fuck does that mean, Sans?

[He'll falter and go pale when he hears himself swear. It hurts, Sans. Why does it hurt?]

I'm sorry. I just...I just don't see how you...I don't see how you 'had it coming'.

[He's under no illusion that you are a saint, Sans. Far from it. But your comment is so far to the other direction.]
