| Part II: A Shuffle In Time | |
| By: Sans Date: April 2, 2017, 10:18 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| ((This is will probably be just a short RP. It can be open to | |
| anyone whom is considered to be friends with, or related to | |
| Sans. Though I definitely need Alphys in this one. xD )) | |
| ---- | |
| Some time later Sans had teleported back into the one room he | |
| hasn't been in at his house for years. He felt exhausted. Not | |
| having been able to get a wink of sleep in the last forty-eight | |
| hours on top of taking a few short cuts today was draining his | |
| energy a lot quicker than he was used to. His lab at the back of | |
| the house. When the skeleton's wet, fuzzy pink slippers touched | |
| the ground a layer of dust blew away from him. Not monster dust | |
| of course, but regular dust which had accumulated over time due | |
| to abandonment. The skeleton sighed as he flicked the light on, | |
| looking around the room which had a stale air to it; dust was | |
| only on the floor but all over the bench, some blue prints | |
| written with Wing Dings and all over the curtains concealing a | |
| large, strange, broken machine in the corner. There was a golden | |
| envelope which had been opened with his name written on it that | |
| wasn't covered in dust on the bench. The hand written invitation | |
| from Trinity lay beside it. The skeleton furrowed his eye ridges | |
| a bit before going through the draws in a rather unorganized | |
| matter, as if he had forgotten where he had kept things. | |
| Eventually some tools, bits of copper, wire, nuts, bolts, small | |
| sheets of metal, chips, a Soldering Iron, Solder, some blue gems | |
| and several pieces of paper with notes and diagrams scribbled | |
| onto them in a lazy and messy manner were pulled out and placed | |
| onto the bench. The last thing Sans had pulled out from a drawer | |
| after all of those things was a photo album. He paused to stare | |
| at it for a moment before finding himself sighing again before | |
| pulling out a card found at the back of it and stuck on the wall | |
| behind the bench so he could see it clearly while working at the | |
| bench. It was a poorly drawn picture of three smiling people | |
| with the words 'Don't Forget' written on it; there were also the | |
| occasional wrinkled spots on it from dried up liquid - dried | |
| tears maybe? | |
| The clock on the workbench was the next thing to capture his | |
| attention. First of all, he was surprised that it was in fact | |
| still working - or was it broken? | |
| [font=comic sans ms]'Twelve-thirty? I could have sworn it would | |
| have been at least four by now. Wasn't I - shouldn't I be at | |
| Grillby's with everyone else if it isn't four... nah, clock must | |
| be busted.' [/font]he thought to himself, though he was being | |
| more hopeful than he would like to admit. | |
| He then put the photo album back in it's proper place before he | |
| stared at the notes and diagrams and groaned lightly, | |
| [font=comic sans ms]"Heh. It's been so long that I've forgotten | |
| if this has been proven or if it's still just a hypothesis. Oh | |
| boy."[/font] he mumbled to himself. He was about to reach for | |
| his phone in his pocket when he started to suddenly feel | |
| light-headed and dizzy before finally collapsing to the floor | |
| under his own weight. | |
| [font=comic sans ms]"Ow." [/font]he uttered after the sounds of | |
| multiple bones clattering onto the tiles as he stared at the | |
| ceiling. | |
| [font=comic sans ms]'Oh this is just fine. It's going to be one | |
| of those kinds of days isn't it? Cool. Cool.'[/font] he thought | |
| to himself once again with a roll of his eyes before leaning | |
| over to the side to reach for his phone whilst still lying on | |
| the floor and tapping on the number belonging to the Royal | |
| Scientist. | |

| As Sans began to type, the slacker would be interrupted as he | |
| would receive an incoming call from a number he may or may not | |
| have recognized. That is entirely dependent on if the lazy bones | |
| would have bothered to update his contact information. | |
| ----- | |
| On the other end, Mistral sat in a cozy chair in the Castle's | |
| library, a shadow cast over his skull as the warm fires sparked | |
| in the fireplace. | |
| Calmly, he tapped his finger on a small table, holding a rotary | |
| phone in his other hand ,awaiting San's answer. Though it did | |
| not slip Mistral's mind that Sans might have just left it on | |
| silent and buried in a couch somewhere. | |
| Other than his finger tapping, the skeleton was deathly still. | |

| Whilst half-way through his call with Alphys, Sans squinted at | |
| the incoming phone call for a moment or two; mentally | |
| registering the number. He blinked a few times, allowing for it | |
| to ring for a bit longer before finally putting the call on | |
| Alphys on hold and answered it. | |
| [font=comic sans ms][Heya. This is Sans. 'Sup?][/font] he | |
| answered casually as he continued to stare at the ceiling from | |
| the cold tiled floor. He really didn't feel like moving right | |
| now and had suddenly decided that he was 'comfortable' lying | |
| here for the mean time. | |

| There was a brief moment of silence | |
| ["I certainly do not wish to believe you're continuing to waste | |
| your time even further, Sans.] Mistral's tone was quiet, yet | |
| harsh. It was laced with a refined eloquence, yet with a | |
| chilling edge that reeked of experience. There was no doubt | |
| Mistral was, as Sans would most likely refer as, a bag of dusty | |
| old bones. | |
| The sounding of a creaking jaw could be heard through the line. | |
| ["Say what you will, but know that your lack of action will | |
| cause you great pain... I know this to be true..."] the last | |
| word practically steamed through his teeth, as burnt memories of | |
| a young prince flashed in his mind. | |
| *Faint static* | |
| [".............Do you understand?"] | |

| There was a brief pause, probably because Sans was caught | |
| off-guard by how direct and harsh the skeleton at the other end | |
| was. He blinked again a few times before chuckling | |
| softly,[font=comic sans ms] [Wow Mist, you really do know how to | |
| cut things right 'down to the bone', huh? You 'wound' | |
| me.][/font] he jested with a few more light chuckles and kept | |
| his tone nonchalant, [font=comic sans ms][but, uh, believe it or | |
| not I actually have a reason for taking things easy this time. | |
| I've been on sick leave for two days now. So... what is it that | |
| you were after?][/font] | |

| ["....I wished nothing more than to educate you on the | |
| irresponsibility your lifestyle encourages."] he clicked, | |
| irritation spewing from his trachea. | |
| Sans would here numerous vertebrae popping in succession, but | |
| then there was a pause, | |
| ["...And yet..."] | |
| There was a sighing sound. | |
| ["...Sans, I'm aware my passions augment my speech. | |
| Unfortunately you receive much scrutiny from me, though you | |
| should know that I only react to your choices the way I do | |
| because I'm very much aware of your potential. I'm aware you may | |
| have your reasons, I just do not want to see you lose anything | |
| in this world."] | |
| ["Listen to me...the pain of knowing you could have changed | |
| something if you took the initiative at the time | |
| is...unbearable...I apologize for my outburst, Sans, but take it | |
| from on old bone bag like me... you do not want to live a life | |
| of regret. I implore you to think about that."] | |

| While Sans kept his grin, he did manage to frown a bit as he | |
| looked the side briefly; reflecting on some... fuzzy memories. | |
| his tone picked up an octave in attempt to mask what he was | |
| feeling, [font=comic sans ms][Ah don't worry about it Mist, it's | |
| okay. I've got it covered. I may be a pretty laid-back kind of | |
| skeleton, but I know what I'm doing.][/font] he said as he | |
| slowly decided to sit back up. The was a light, involuntary | |
| groan that echoed from from the skeleton as his spine creaked | |
| from the motion, [font=comic sans ms][Besides, 'Ulna'-ver know | |
| what I'd do without ya Mist, your concern is appreciated. So, | |
| enough about me. How are you holding up?][/font] | |

| ["I know you do, Sans, but just be sure you're doing it at the | |
| right time."] Mistral fought the urge to ask if Sans was alright | |
| after hearing the groan but the younger Skeketon had already | |
| asked a similar question. The elder clicked in response, looking | |
| down. | |
| ["Well... I have been worried. That's one of the reasons I | |
| decided to contact you, but other than that, my duties still | |
| never cease. With all the recent happenings however, my job has | |
| grown more difficult, but it is nothing that I cannot handle."] | |
| ["Though to be honest my own well being is not a priority most | |
| if the time. But, I do appreciate you asking."] | |
| ... | |
| ["...I'm sure you're aware, but your father has made himself | |
| known again."] Mistral would sigh. ["...Are you alright, Sans?"] | |

| The short skeleton managed to slowly get back to his feet again, | |
| pushing open the door to his lab and leaned against the door | |
| frame as he listened; he continued to grin as always, but | |
| whether if it was genuine or not, it was hard to say. He starrd | |
| out to part of his backyard, [font=comic sans ms] [Funnily | |
| enough, I somehow always manage to get it right in the end.] | |
| [/font] he replied simply as a singular bone was summoned and | |
| was sent flying through the air and tore through the centre of | |
| one of the newly sprouted golden flowers; pinning it to the tree | |
| behind it. | |
| He then shrugged, [font=comic sans ms][Yeah I would imagine it | |
| would get quite busy up at the castle. If I'm honest, it's | |
| probably one of the reasons why I'm grateful to usually be | |
| stationed around Snowdin. You do a great job Mist, but sometimes | |
| you gotta remember to treat yourself every once in a while. | |
| You're important too. Besides, I'm sure Asgore wouldn't | |
| mind.][/font] he continued before deciding to send another | |
| singular bone flying at the flower; severing it, [font=comic | |
| sans ms][You're not alone though. The recent stuff that has been | |
| happening is kinda getting me worried too. Snowdin Forest and | |
| Waterfall has been more dangerous than usual lately - with | |
| monsters disappearing suddenly. To top it all off, did you hear | |
| that Snowdin has flooded? The climate has changed so much that | |
| there isn't a speck of snow. Kinda creeps me out. Might have to | |
| rename it Waterlogged if nothing changes. Heh, I hope | |
| not.][/font] | |
| There was a preganant pause when Sans' father was brought up and | |
| his tone had changed noticeably. He didn't exactly sound too | |
| thrilled about it either, [font=comic sans ms][Oh yeah, I know | |
| he's back.][/font] he said shortly before changing his tune a | |
| bit, [font=comic sans ms][Yeah, I'm fine. Sorta. Haven't slept | |
| at all in two days - and still haven't been able to. Now I know | |
| how Papyrus feels in a way. Heh.][/font] | |

| [...I was asking if you were alright about seeing your father | |
| again, Sans.] | |
| Mistral reinforced this matter, his tone carefully direct, yet | |
| considerate. [...I understand you may not wish to speak of him, | |
| but it is important to me to know how you are dealing with his | |
| sudden reintroduction into your life. I will contact your | |
| brother on this matter as well, but I am speaking to you now. | |
| While the matters you have mentioned fill me with great concern, | |
| I wish to speak of this topic first.] | |
| .... | |
| [Please, Sans, do not hesitate to speak your mind. I'm aware of | |
| how you handle your struggles, but everyone needs someone to | |
| speak with once in a while... | |
| You cannot dodge forever...I am here for you.... | |
| ...I love you and your brother too much to leave you to deal | |
| with your ordeals alone....Please do not shy from the solace I | |
| offer you.] | |
