are there dogs inside? [OPEN]

Who: Sans and YOU
Where: The True Lab and Rick's Lab
When: Throughout the event
Rating: PG - PG-13, will adjust as needed
Summary: A tiny skeleton walks into a lab. What happens next will warm your heart!
The Story:

A: The Beds - it's easier to bury your head in the sand

So, yanno, this is fine. It's only the third time Wonderland is decided, hey, let's make Sans even smaller than he already is, so at this point he's almost used to it. He even got to keep his memories this time, so that's a plus.

The downside is basically everything else. Not only is he smaller, he's also weaker, and it's not like Sans was ever a particularly strong monster. He's got no magic and no real way to defend himself short of running away, and while the Amalgamates are theoretically harmless, it's awfully easy for one of their weird attacks to knock out that 1 HP.

So Sans did what he does best--he went to sleep and tried to ignore everything.

He's been hiding under one of the beds in the lab's central area, napping on and off for the past few hours, occasionally poking his head out to see if anyone is nearby. Or if any of the Amalgamates are coming to eat him. It's awfully easy to sink into the nonsensical "they're definitely going to eat me" mindset at this age.

B: Puzzles - just another set of ideas

Once that weird old man's post goes up, it becomes apparent what this is all gonna be about. Avoid danger, solve some puzzles, find the macguffin and save your life. It's annoying, but Sans figures this is just about the best scenario that could have possibly happened, given the content of these events. Things could be a hell of a lot worse, and that's given the fact that he's like two feet tall and has occasional bouts of shakiness.

Monsters are pretty good at puzzles, though, and jigsaw puzzles are easier than switch or block puzzles. They're just more time consuming. It doesn't help that he's constantly distracted by watching for Amalgamates, or the weird sensation of being here doing a puzzle and also being somewhere else, slowly dying in a vat.

Still, he's doing his best, and he's generally happy to help anyone else with the puzzles. Collab, bro?

C: Keys - i've got nostalgia running through me and i don't like it

Time to find those keys or whatever. The hallways are more dangerous than the room with all the beds, though, and Sans doesn't know his way around. This is the most he's ever seen of the lab. He's not even sure how accurate the layout is.

No choice, though. He can feel time slowly running out. Gotta find those keys and find his real body, and that means braving the hallways and creepy fogged over rooms. You'd think Alphys had installed smoke machines down here or something.

Hopefully an Amalgamate doesn't show up, right?

D: Bad Memory - and now it follows me every day

Something's been following Sans for a little while now. Something bad. Every time he looks behind him to try and see it, it disappears.

Occasionally his phone rings, but Sans knows better than to answer it. He never met this one, but...call it instinct. A looming sense of dread. By now he's visibly nervous. He's had enough of bad memories lately, and he'd really rather avoid this one.

E: The Vats - i relive it, i relive it

He's made it to the lower lab, and now it's just a matter of finding his body. He's worn out and disheveled and just generally very ready to be done with all this bullshit. There's a lot of vats down here, though, so finding the one with the skeleton in it might take a bit. He's probably also going to need help with that whole "transferring consciousness" thing.

I should...

[He should what? And - why? He's someone who damages whatever he touches, whose proximity is toxic, whose presence is poison. He shouldn't...maybe he's right.

(Maybe he's Wright. Ha.)

There's something bright buried in the center of his chest, a spark that was placed there after his body buckled beneath the machine and never died out, even when he blinked from the child to the man.

Maybe it's in the soul.]


You sure?
postictal: (hold yourself together)

[Glad he got to help. Well, that makes two of them. Maybe he did as much good as someone like him is ever going to do. He doesn't...it's not like being around him any more is going to make things better. For anyone.

He swallows, hard, eyes slipping shut.]


Just...I guess gimme a shout. If you need it.

[Makes sense, sure. But it won't keep him from feeling any less shit about it.]
postictal: (did i leave the stove on)

[personal profile] postictal 2017-03-26 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[He did something right. Kind of. Not so...not exactly well. That'd be asking too much. He didn't fuck it up beyond all recognition, and that's its own miracle.

Probably shouldn't push it.

When he looks up next, Sans is gone. There's nothing but the hollow tremble against the wet tile and the chill of his breath in his lungs.]
