Here is the side bar art I drew for the @phasmotale blog!

Papyrus being safe at base while the other boys are out investigating. Blue’s (always) having technical difficulties and you can bet Red’s green with envy that Papyrus doesn’t have to be on-site. ...heh.

[phasmotale]

I = Interviewer // B = Black I: As we all know, only monsters were affected by the strange phenomena that happened a year ago, how are you coping with living after the events?

B: Fairly well, though I admit it did take some getting used to. Things are so... "soft" here. It is rather strange.

I: And what about you with your other selves?

B: [Mutters heatedly under his breath and though most of it is indistinguishable, "distressingly disappointing doppelgängers," and something about how he "would never stoop to such levels of filth" can be picked up.]

B: [Clears his throat]

B: Suffice it to say, some are more tolerable than others. Tensions have mostly settled now that we are no longer piled within a single room like sardines. I: Touching on that, how are you managing with the government grant for monsters and your upgraded housing accommodations?

B: Are you not listening? Can you not infer that everything is well enough from what I just said?

(Papyrus shoots Black a rather significant look and some rather pointed hand gestures—a very clear message to play nice.)

B:  Oh for the love of-!

B: [Groans and drags a hand down his face] Why I am having the time of my life.

I: H-hah hah... What about when your other selves turned up? Where were you?

B: I was attending to my duties as a Royal Guardsman, escorting her majesty. I: That must have been surprising.

B: Yes, a rather unforeseeable occurrence but nothing I could not handle.

I: Last question: why "Black" for your name?

B: [He scowls]

B: It would seem the phrase, "Fortune favors the strong" is incorrect and should be amended to, "Fortune favors the idiotic."
