You really didn’t have much of a reason to jump universes or timelines anymore. Your own was pretty much handled. Perfect, you’d say. All the kid needed to do was finish. So why were you still observing others like there was something more you could do to ‘fix’ your own? Maybe it was just habit. Maybe it was just paranoia. Maybe it was Maybelline. Regardless, you were here.
You supposed it helped clear your mind. To see other timelines fail was just useful information for things to avoid. While successful timelines were... hard to watch.
You wondered how much it must hurt to have that torn away from you?
Not the time to think about that now. This timeline seemed pretty standard. Nothing new. Nothing to note. Every touch, smell and sight seemed pretty on par for the norm, which was a good sign, you thought.
Hell, this timeline even had your old sentry station stacked with your usual assortment of condiments. Now you just... was that Doggo? And... the kid? You could see her shaking (From cold? From fear? Or were you just imagining it?), and the blind dog making a valiant attempt at doing his sentry duties. It’s not your place to save them, Sans, you remind yourself. Just go.
...
Oh, who’re you kidding? You couldn’t, in good conscience, just let this slide.
“Hey, Doggo, buddy,” you called, immediately grabbing the dog’s attention. “Nothing’s there, my canine compadre.”
Doggo started to tell you that he definitely smelled something here, but you quelled his worries easily. Almost rehearsed.
“The cold’s getting to you, I think, buddy. Why don’t you grab something from Grillby’s to eat? I can hold your station until then, don’t worry.”
He seemed surprised, but thanked you. Had this timeline’s you never done anything for the royal dogs? You can’t say you’re surprised. You’d always been too lazy to yourself. As he walks away, you looked down at this kid. She’s different, you could tell that much. And you wondered briefly if she could tell the same for you? Surely she’s met her own... you by now. Whatever. You already dug this grave for yourself, there’s no turning back.
You pick a hand up and tap a finger against your teeth, trying for a “shh” motion. Didn’t need to risk the dog’s hearing to pick up on anything.
You bent down slightly, digging a bony finger into the snow, and carving letters into the ground.
‘can you write?’ Signing would work, too, of course, but honestly, what were the chances of the kid knowing that? Slim, you’d think.
“Nuh-uh, it’s a good one." Excellent rebuttal from the child.
“You’re way nicer than like half the monsters down here, for real.” They were bitter about being attacked and nearly captured, and weren’t ready to forgive for it any time soon.

*I dunno, just any huge power can change things for real. I think. What if you could pick one, any one, what’d you choose? That is, if you’d pick anything at all.
*I’d myself get lyca...lica... uh, werewolf-ness. Because it is awesome.
SEND 🐛 TO LEARN ABOUT SOMETHING THAT BUGS MY MUSE [Closed]
[putting them all in one post to save some space.]
1. One thing that bugs Sans are people who can’t take a joke and take themselves overly serious. He doesn’t mind if someone has a different kind of humor, or doesn’t like bad jokes. However, what seriously irks him are people who can’t laugh about themselves, not ever.
2. It’s kind of hypocritical of him, but Sans also doesn’t like liars. He’s good at people reading and will generally know when someone isn’t telling the truth. Perhaps, however, that’s exactly why he has such a distaste for dishonesty. Trying to lie to Sans is probably a waste of time for both parties involved.
3. I think something else that bothers Sans are people that don’t think things through. Sans is a future oriented person (usually) and as such always takes the possible outcomes of his actions into consideration while making a decision or a plan. Yet, this is also why people that make rash decisions and fail to see the bigger picture can get on his nerves at times.
4. This should be obvious, but he is also irked by people who act inconsiderate towards others. That isn’t to say he thinks everyone should get along, or hold back with their opinion only to appease the other; however he really dislikes people that have no regards for other people than themselves.
5. Sans dislikes being told what to do. Call that one childish or cocky, it probably is both. Also, chances are, that he won’t do what he’s been told to do unless he sees a reason behind doing it, as well.
6. Scientifically inaccurate scifi movies or books. This one is just a slight annoyance to him, but he might make a snide remark here and there while watching these. If he cares enough, that is.
