Monsters came to earth looking for a peaceful home. The humans let them settle in Ebott City, but they were very wary about the new technology monsters brought with them. Eventually a politician proposed that monster tech and magic be banned and it was. Humans will pay big money for either, or both! The monster mob is happy to provide.
Cosmo (Sans) is really, really trying to just stay out of the whole thing, but his brother’s connections with the mob mean that his quaint little flower shop is a front for moving magical tech. He wants to be supportive, but he worries...
Gizmo (Papyrus) is completely unworried about his less-than-legal job! He is doing a service! Banning magic and technology was wrong, so really he is protesting the unfair laws. He would like to find a legal solution to this too, but right now, this works! (Mostly.)
It’s not just magic that’s prohibited in this world—it’s dancing too! The monster mob provides safe places for monsters and humans to dance...for a fee.
After a lot of begging, Rhythm (Papyrus) is in charge of his very own speakeasy! Well, the dancing bit anyway. Technically Grillby (Flash?) owns it and does all the magic food and drink. But Tango teaches dancing, which is his true passion! Sometimes he even dances at home. He just can’t help it!
Rhyme (Sans) is the lookout for the club. Everybody knows he don’t dance no more. He just sits there at the bar like a bum, nursin’ a bottle of ketchup all day long. Nobody suspects that when he says, “Hey, can I get some mustard over here?” that that’s the signal! It’s a pretty good gig! He just wishes his brother would be more careful!
