"Hello there! I see you were trying to reach me! What a wonderful idea! Sadly, the great Papyrus is unavailable to take your call at the moment, but that's okay! I'll probably call you back in about a minute, so go ahead and state your name and business!"

((OOC note: Papyrus nearly always answers on the first ring, so you can also go ahead and play it like that happened if you like.))

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

For me?? Wowie! What is it?

[Like he's not already on his way.]

[skelepun]

[Sans kicks back, already grinning.]

You're gonna have to come over to find ou--

[Oh, and there was the knock on the door. Kicking out of Ratchet's eggbed, he makes his way over, grinning enigmatically as the door slides open.]

Hey, bro. [He shuts off his MID.] Funny seeing you here.

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

How is that funny? You asked me to come!

[Ah, he can't keep up the straight man gig when he's so overcome by curiosity.]

What's the present? Is it something cool??

[skelepun]

Well, I dunno... [Sans milks the moment a little longer, waggling his fingers before going into his pocket and pulling out--!

A crumpled napkin.]

Ta-da.

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

[The delay only makes Papyrus even more antsy, dancing a little in place until...

Oh.]

What is this, another one of your nonsensical japes??

[skelepun]

Aren't ya gonna unfold it?

[His voice is as nonchalant as ever, buffing his "nails" against his uniform.]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Oh, very well!

[It's clear from the very delicate way he takes the paper and unfolds it slowly, carefully, fingertips only, that he's expecting something. A glitter bomb maybe, or a glob of ketchup in the middle.

But all that's inside is a name.]

Sans, what on earth--

[It clicks. His jaw drops and his eyesockets go wide.]

[skelepun]

[Don't mind him over here, feeling like his metaphorical heart is about to burst.]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Oh my god! Is this real??

[Like he doesn't know. He saw Mettaton himself, in the... metal, but he had been too excited to get an autograph.

It's his for sure, though. He'd knows. And his grin could light up the ship right now.]

[skelepun]

[Boy, could it. Sans looks the same as ever, of course, but a trained eye could see his own barely contained glee is nearing off the chart levels.

His brother was just... really cool.]

Yep. I ran into him, in the metal. [Way to go, Papyrus, you got there first.] You like it?

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

[He's not even mad.]

I'm going to frame it and put it up in my room! This is so... it's really... I'm just... and here I thought you were going to pull one of your terrible pranks!

[skelepun]

[It's impossible to hide just how pleased he is, beaming with a weird sort of pride.

Of course, they're still brothers. And as such...]

Well who knows, maybe I'm lulling you into a false sense of security?
