"Hey Papyrus, put some backbone into it."

"Sans, you are not helping! All you do is sit around and boondoggle!"

"Hey, take it easy, I've got a ton of work done today. A skele-ton!"

"SANS-"

The underground's okay I guess, I mean it's not all bad. The worst part about it is the small confines we're in, and constantly having to keep each other company, which in my experience can get pretty tiring when you've got a high maintenance sister such as Papyrus. Nah, she's not that bad, she's just a little eager sometimes and when she gets going I can't get her to pipe down. I mean, aside from that, keeping her out of trouble is how I pass the time quicker.

I'm the older brother, so of course it's my responsibility to keep her out of trouble. I mean, like, it's always been that way. Since as long as I can remember, I've been watching out for my little sister, protecting her, making sure she knows how the world works, and how the underworld works too. Sometimes she'll act like she's protecting me, and I'll play along with that, because it gives her confidence and makes her feel more independent, and it would break me to take that away from her.

On another note, I don't want to sound like I'm blowing my own trom-bone or anything but I am kind of important. I mean, I'm lazy, but I have a role in the underground. I do the odd jobs, when I can be bothered, and when I'm not taking a break. Uh. I like to take it easy, you know? But hey, I made the currency system down here, kinda. Asgore and I put a load of 'S's on a bunch of bolts and then we distributed them for doing work or reaching our training goals or whatever. It works, somewhat, and it's nice I contributed to that.

Plus, I may or may not have pocketed a load of them when we made them (;

Papyrus spends a lot of time with Undyne, and that's great for her. I mean, Dad never trained her when we were growing up in our old home. He trained me, and I mean he

really trained me

and I've never really understood why not her, when I'm a hell of a lot shorter and my stature isn't great for fighting but I guess I've learned to use that to my advantage. Papyrus, she's got a good figure. Tall, lean, almost skeletal, heh. Undyne's just the model build and she's almost as good a fighter as me, so it's best my sister learns from her instead of me, not least because I'm not very good at teaching. And I'm too lazy. And I have other things to do or rather eat.

Half of it is a respect thing, for Papyrus I mean. She wants to be respected and liked by the others I think, and so I try to encourage her with that and try to encourage Frisk to engage with her more. She'll put him through puzzles and challenges which usually aren't very hard in everyone else's eyes but it's nice to see her so passionate about things, and trying to put others to the test. I guess it unnerves me when people don't want to do the things she's set up, especially when she puts a lot of work into them.

I mean, Frisk is new. I've suggested it a few times but I don't know how they're gonna respond to it. Frisk's from the outside. Asgore tells the others that makes them dangerous, but that's a load of bologna. I mean, they could be, who knows? Unless they're like a freak or something we don't need to worry, not with Undyne the undying eager to do something reckless and me hanging about.

Sometimes I wonder why Asgore is doing this.

Then sometimes I don't because it works. I don't have to do much. I don't see the sun anymore, and I don't think Papyrus remembers it very well, but it's simple, and it's safe. For now. I mean, Asgore's pretty good to us. I've seen worse places to live. He calls them all monsters - the people on the outside, I mean. I don't see it that way. They're just human. It's just that some humans can be monsters. I mean, aren't we the monsters? Living in the dark, alone? Woah, hey, that's deep. Heh.

I can't afford to care anymore.

The house is pretty crammed sometimes, when there's lots going on. There aren't many places I can be on my own, but then I'm not sure I'd want to be. I wouldn't want to be kept bone idle. But like, sometimes I'll slip into my sister's room and sleep on the floor next to her bed and we'll talk and stuff, or we'll do a crossword or something. It's nice. We even drew stars on the window coverings. Sometimes, when my sister is doing something else, I'll change them, so they're different every night and she has something new to look at. I like doing that.

I don't like meddling with the stuff that's happened before this all happened if that makes sense. Asgore and his wife, that stuff is messed up. I feel bad for Asriel because of all that's happened but then I see what he's become and I don't know if it's pity or concern that brews inside me. I know he's hurt pretty badly since his mom killed herself and all. I don't press for details because I like to take it easy, you know? It's just he's a bit unstable and unstable people are problematic. Like he lost his brother too so I don't know he should be really emotionally vulnerable but he seems very numb and I don't know if it's just me that sees it but he tries to test that numbness and push it and that can sometimes hurt other people.

And if you carry on.

You're gonna have a bad time

Let's go grab a burger or some fries tho. Grillby's on it.
