@mgicalmultitude : It was the start of the spooky season, and S/kid and P/ump were running around as they so normally did and having fun. However, there was something that would stop S/kid in his tracks, P/ump nearly knocking the both of them over almost ramming into the other. Now, when they both were looking up, their eyes were practically glowing with excitement and also curious disbelief. ' Wow! ' They both said before S/kid walked a bit closer and followed it up with, ' are you a real skeleton? '
while p/apyrus has been on the surface for a few years by now, the month of october always fascinated him much more than other holidays the humans seemed so excited for. the idea of celebrating all things spooky felt like something so personal, as if it were a celebration of him ( and his friends, by extension ) as monsters. it was also a little awkward seeing fake skeletons everywhere, but he’s learned to see it as an extension of their celebration of his kind. and it’s this fascination with the halloween spirit that would often lead to the skeleton walking along from store to store, street to street, getting all necessary materials for a celebratory puzzle, but stops as he hears the sound of awe. did the monster have new fans ???
turning to look at the two, what he could only assume to be kids, the excitement they had for p/apyrus was returned in tow, a glint in the eyesockets as he can’t help but drop everything he was holding to his side, just to give a dramatic pose as he speaks.
“ YOU HAVE A KEEN EYESOCKET !!! ” he says with a hand pressed up to his chest, as if it’s at all difficult to tell what he’s supposed to be. “ WHY YES, I -- THE GREAT PAPYRUS -- AM A REAL SKELETON IN THE FLESH !! AND YOU LOOK TO BE SKELETAL AS WELL, WITH YOUR WIDE GRIN AND BONE PATTERNS ! ”
he crouches, going down on one knee to reach the children’s eye level. his smile is beaming.
“ I’VE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER SKELETON MONSTER LIKE MY BROTHER AND I !! ARE YOU A LONG LOST RELATIVE OF OURS PERCHANCE ?? NYEH HEH HEH ! ” the self - proclaimed spaghettore laughs, knowing fully well there’s no way there could be such a thing as a relative he’d forget. that’s just silly ! “ AND YOU, YOUR HEAD IS SHAPED LIKE A GOURD, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MONSTER QUITE LIKE YOU BEFORE EITHER !!! ARE YOU BOTH NEW ? ”
