| Part II: Insomniac Days | |

| ((Please do not post in this thread until you have had your | |
| character exit any Part One threads they may still be in. Thank | |
| you.)) | |
| --- | |
| Two days had passed since Meka and Sakura crossed paths with the | |
| body-splitting werebeast, Flowey and a small group of heros | |
| cracking open the rocky ceiling and Lady Trinity's meeting with | |
| the scientists. | |
| In the past two days it hadn't snowed very much in Snowdin | |
| either, maybe it was because of the rise in temperature in the | |
| Underground and the massive fissure cutting across the rocky | |
| ceiling that had stretched all the way from Waterfall had | |
| something to do with it. Either way, it certainly wasn't as cold | |
| as the local residents had grown used to. Speaking of locals, a | |
| short skeleton with his bony hands buried deep into his pockets | |
| and his hood over his skull had just stepped out of the front | |
| door of his house. The door locked behind him in unison with his | |
| exhausted sigh as he sluggishly made his way over to Grillby's. | |
| Sans raised an eye ridge when he noticed that the snow was | |
| 'sloshier' than usual, feeling his feet sink into it a lot | |
| easier and his fluffy pink slippers getting wet a lot easier | |
| from what he remembered. | |
| Soon the Sentry tiredly pushed open the door to Grillby's, he | |
| kept his head low as he was deep in thought. It had been | |
| well-past Monday, the day he had promised to pay Grillby back | |
| for all the money he owed. May as well be straight him, for once | |
| - and among other things. He slowly made his way to his usual | |
| spot at the bar and it didn't take long for the somewhat | |
| noticeable rise in temperature to start to bother him; something | |
| odd, since he is a skeleton. Sans then shrugged his blue jacket | |
| off and rested it on his lap, leaving him in just a white | |
| T-shirt, black shorts and pink slippers on as he rested his | |
| skull in an open palm and elbow at the counter. | |
| Here in the better lighting of the establishment, those who knew | |
| Sans could tell right away that there was something off about | |
| him. His bones which usually had a healthy off-white tone was | |
| now a dull pale grey, the lights in his eye sockets were not as | |
| bright as they usually were and he was sweating more than usual. | |
| His grin seemed forced today as the lights in his eye sockets | |
| drifted over to the empty ketchup bottle at the counter. | |
| Damn. He had cravings, but a deal was a deal. | |
| ((Hint: This thread provides an opportunity for characters to | |
| come together, possibly make new friends and possibly mention | |
| the unusual happenings they have encountered two days ago. Use | |
| this thread well. ;) )) | |

| It had been two days since the events in the forest of snowdin | |
| and Sakura's mind still lingered on the child and that werebeast | |
| from before. Her eyes were still cold as ever...was it due to | |
| lack of sleep or maybe she just became bitter over the past two | |
| days. At any rate, she had a lot on her mind. She had hardly | |
| noticed the weather change due to her fur but the snow | |
| felt...soft today. Taking a small glance up, the sunlight could | |
| be seen a little bit. that was odd. It never shined that | |
| brightly around snowdin. At any rate, the kitsune was hungry as | |
| her stomach growled a bit. | |
| Lucky for her, she just so happened to end up in Grillby's. Her | |
| taiils swayed a bit before she opened the door and looked | |
| around. She saw an open spot by the bar area and took a seat. | |
| She took a side glance at her neighbor and blinked in surprise. | |
| " Sans?...Huh..fancy running into you of all people. " she | |
| replied before placing an order to get something to eat. | |

| Meka wasn't one for going places that tended to have a lot | |
| people, but today was an exception. She was in a lot of mental | |
| pain and rumors told her that Grillbys bar sold a "magical | |
| elixir " that could take her mind off the current situation. | |
| Though at first she had loved the warmth that had taken over | |
| Snowdin it had become an annoyance and she now wore a blue | |
| singlet and jean shorts with a special slot for her tail to go | |
| through. The goat girl walked up to the bar and placed a fairly | |
| decent sized bag of G on its surface. The unusually scruffy teen | |
| produced a forced smile before saying "Food and drinks, on me ". | |
| She had noticed the kitsune from the other day as well as a | |
| hooded skeleton, both of which she acknowledged with a tired | |
| wave. Sleep had evaded her since she had rescued the lamb child | |
| and it was obvious to anyone who saw her that she was tired. | |
| Likewise she noticed they seemed tired. | |

| "W-What's with this heat?!"[/center] | |
| Luka complained as he stepped out of the inn. The young man | |
| looked up to the glinting sunlight in the distance. The sight of | |
| the fissure made his heart skip a beat however as it seemed | |
| almost wider than it was the day before or the day of his | |
| 'sidequest.' The hole they created couldn't have really caused | |
| this much of a crack could it? After all, they were just trying | |
| to bring more light in the underground...Right? Still, seeing | |
| the normally happy folks of Snowdin walk about with sluggish | |
| steps as they trudged through the slurry of melted ice gave him | |
| a bad feeling. | |
| "G͠o,̧ ̸Brąve ͞hero. Mak̕e͏ | |
| ̛a níc͟e stew ͜óùt͢ | |
| ͝óf̷ t͜h̸ós͘e | |
| ̧r̀as̸c̷àl҉ly̸ | |
| ̵r̀a̷b̸b͢it | |
| mon̴s̛t̷ers͘.͠" | |
| He shrugged it off however, and moved toward the only suitable | |
| place he knew of to get a bite to eat. | |
| "..." | |
| The lilac haired hero would peek into the always toasty bar and | |
| look about at the (unusual) patrons that had been gathered. His | |
| gaze settled, of course, on the swishing tails of the kitsune | |
| girl sitting at the bar. The young man blinked a few times, | |
| resisting the urge to come up and ask if he could touch one of | |
| her impossibly fluffy tails. He shook it off however as he | |
| stepped into the bar fully and approached the girl. | |
| With a smile and a wave the young man would greet her. "Hey | |
| there! You...Uh...You wouldn't happen to be one of Tamamo's | |
| followers by any chance would you? I've been stuck here for | |
| about a week now and I..." He paused glancing aside to her | |
| companion. His gaze met the skeletons dimly glowing eyes and a | |
| hiss of a memory tickled the back of his ear. | |
| "Don't trust any walking skeletons." | |
| He cleared his throat, deciding it best not to disclose his | |
| origin all of a sudden as he looked back to the girl. "...Sorry, | |
| that's not important. Do you have any idea who I'm talking | |
| about?" He asked raising a brow. "N-not that I'm assuming all | |
| Kitsunes know each other it's just she's real important and one | |
| of the monster lords heavenl-Er yeah she's real important." He | |
| interrupted himself with a cough, cutting a nervous glance to | |
| the hooded skeleton to try and gauge a reaction (with mixed | |
| results.) | |
| "I mean considering you have nine tails you must be real | |
| important yourself..." He observed nervously scratching the back | |
| of his neck. | |

| Sakura starred at Sans for a moment before the sound of a bag of | |
| money hit the table slightly and a familar voice was heard. | |
| Sakura turned to see Meka just as tired as she and Sans were. | |
| Was everyone having a tough time sleeping? With a returned wave, | |
| she tried to put on a smile herself. She appreciated Meka paying | |
| for everyone even if she had her own money at the time. Hey best | |
| not to turn down a free meal right? | |
| Then her ears stood up as a new voice came out of nowhere as a | |
| young boy stepped up to Sakura and started asking her questions. | |
| She starred at the boy with lazy eyes and a small confused | |
| expression. Shaking her head a bit as her tails swayed again | |
| this time brushing by the boy, she addressed him as politely as | |
| possible. | |
| " Look kid i haven't eaten, I'm still trying to wake up, and to | |
| top it all off....you came in asking questions before | |
| introducing yourself. Is it human customs to be rude to those | |
| you greet.....specifically if they're female? " she replied | |
| crossing her arms a bit. " Let's try this again....hello I'm | |
| Sakura and you are...? " she asked the boy. | |

| Luka blushed a bit as the girl brushed him with her tails | |
| causing him to back up. He held up his hands and waved them in a | |
| defensive manner as she came at him with all the snarling ire of | |
| someone who refused to be a morning person. It reminded him of | |
| Alice in a way. She was often cranky early on in the day too. | |
| The sheepish hero sweat a bit, his blush fading as he tried to | |
| babble incoherently in response to her sharp tone. | |
| "I-I'm sorry m'aam!" His voice shook. "Sakura m'aam." He cleared | |
| his throat as he corrected himself, finding himself flushing | |
| even harder as he fumbled with his words. | |
| EVENTUALLY the young man would outstretch his arm in an almost | |
| robotic fashion. He was so stiff that it made each of his | |
| movements seem jerky and erratic. | |
| "I-I'm Luka. I'm a hero!" He blurted out, not really thinking as | |
| he internally squirmed under the gaze of a cute girl. "Do you | |
| know Tamamo...Sakura?" He tried asking again. His form trembling | |
| once, betraying his attempt to hide his nervousness. | |

| Sakura tiltd her head a bit as Luka became so confused and | |
| baffled that it left her a bit baffled. " Humans are a strange | |
| race indeed..." she thought to herself giving a small smirk of | |
| amusement at how the boy was behaving. When he mentioned his | |
| name and what he was though something inside Sakura changed | |
| suddenly. Her eyes went wide as she saw the kid again from two | |
| days ago. He viewed her as a hero and she let him down. | |
| Sakura bared her fangs a bit as she snarled a little. It was | |
| then she eased up when she felt her nails dig into her own skin. | |
| The look she was giving to Luka made it seem like she was | |
| towering over the boy with her dark gaze before shaking her head | |
| a bit. " No....it's not his fault...it's mine and mine alone..." | |
| she thought to herself before exhaling that held in breath. | |
| " No sorry...the name sounds familar but i can't be certain...my | |
| apologies for the snarl. " she replied to the boy as she bowed a | |
| bit. | |

| Luka stopped, seeing the conflict in the girls eyes as she | |
| looked upon him. It was enough to give him pause. The young man | |
| looked to the girl and returned the bow, giving her the respect | |
| he felt a nine tailed kitsune deserved. "It's alright... I was a | |
| little excited at the thought of seeing a friendly face that I | |
| acted brashly." He spoke, his tone softening as he met his gaze | |
| with hers so he could give her a genuinely sweet smile. | |
| "Though given your snarl I kind of wonder if you are on the best | |
| terms with her. Even if not, I hope we can be friends at least!" | |
| He chuckled before taking her hand into his and giving it a | |
| shake. "My dream of coexistence would be pretty silly if I | |
| didn't find a way to get along with everyone." He forced another | |
| chuckle as he scratched the back of his neck. | |
| "I'm sorry for intruding though. Can I make it up by buying you | |
| a drink?" | |

| Sakura raised her head as Luka bowed to her. To be honest she | |
| never had anyone do that to her before. Then again, she was a | |
| traveling kitsune with no real status...at least she assumed so. | |
| Luka on the other hand seemed to believe so. Was this kitsune | |
| lord he was mentioning before have that level of power. Taking | |
| the boy's hand, she gave off a small blush of her own this time | |
| as she broke his gaze a bit. | |
| " He is kind of cute....even if he is a human...err" she blanked | |
| real fast as she realized she spoke out loud that time. Quickly | |
| shaking her head of any thoughts that were starting to surface, | |
| the kitsune buried her face with one tail as to facepalm before | |
| her stomach growled in defiance. This time she laughed a bit on | |
| the odd side. " Sure as long as you don't mind feeding me too | |
| hehe.." she replied with a smile of her own. | |

| The shadows which formed beneath the skeleton's eye sockets were | |
| dark and hardened; as if suggesting he had bags beneath his eyes | |
| as he turned to the first monster whom addressed him. he then | |
| chuckled softly, [font=comic sans ms]"Yeah, you're Sakura right? | |
| Hey."[/font] he replied casually, [font=comic sans ms]"Whelp. I | |
| do come here quite often so, I guess it shouldn't really be that | |
| surprising."[/font] | |
| When he heard Meka speak up, as tempting as it was - like REALLY | |
| tempting Sans shook his head politely at her offer, [font=comic | |
| sans ms]"Thanks but no thanks. I'm not hungry."[/font] he lied, | |
| trying to dance around the issue that he is currently banned | |
| from consuming anything here until he paid Grillby back. He then | |
| took a moment to look at the pair, both of them - like he was - | |
| looked exhausted. He then turned to face the wall behind the | |
| bar, which was in front of them. | |
| [font=comic sans ms]"Not getting much sleep huh?"[/font] he | |
| asked suddenly before continuing in an oddly foreboding tone, | |
| [font=comic sans ms]"Yeah, neither have I. For some reason I | |
| haven't even been able to sleep or even nap a single wink ever | |
| since two days ago. I've already lost thirty-six hours of rest. | |
| If I'm honest, it's kind of driving me nuts. I've also heard | |
| about what's been happening around here lately too. Strange | |
| coincidence. Something weird is happening."[/font] | |
| The skeleton then grabbed a ketchup bottle and slid it across | |
| the bar until it stopped somewhere between Meka and Sakura | |
| before changing his tone to that of a more upbeat, yet also | |
| relaxed tone, [font=comic sans ms]"But hey, whatever you order | |
| here I highly recommend you pouring some of that stuff over it. | |
| It always tastes better. Gives your taste buds a chance to | |
| 'ketchup' to the flavors yanno? Hehehehe."[/font] | |
| When Luka approached them and overhearing Sakura mention human | |
| more than once, Sans suddenly sat unnaturally still. As though | |
| he had been frozen into place. The only signs of movement coming | |
| from him were the dimly lit eye sockets and the soft rattles and | |
| snapping sounds of bones beneath his shirt. Those whom were | |
| observant would notice a number of heads of bones were slowly | |
| starting to surface from the ground behind Luka, the wall | |
| closest to him and from the ceiling directly above him. Noticing | |
| the nervous glance didn't really help Luka's situation either. | |
| This could all probably end very quickly, or, very badly. Right | |
| here and now. | |
| There were no promises to stop him. | |
| There was a noticeable pause before the bones from all around | |
| had fully surfaced; leaving them only half-way formed before the | |
| skeleton sighed. | |
| [font=comic sans ms]'I really don't feel like doing this. Not | |
| today.'[/font] he thought to himself as he looked on over at | |
| Luka again and the bones he had summoned disappeared suddenly. | |
| he then slipped off of his stool, leaving his jacket on it as he | |
| stepped closer to Luka; looking up at him. He then held out a | |
| bony hand, [font=comic sans ms]"Hey. I'm Sans. Sans the | |
| Skeleton."[/font] he introduced like he always did with his | |
| signature grin. He tilted his skull a bit to have a better look | |
| at Luka, the lights disappearing completely from their eye | |
| sockets, [font=comic sans ms]"Human, huh? Here in Snowdin? | |
| 'Snow' kidding. But, uh, buddy, mind clearing up something for | |
| me? Are you really a human, cause something seems a bit off from | |
| that."[/font] | |
