[The video turns on, and it's… a skeleton in front of a mirror. Yes, he wanted to make sure everyone could see him for this. To those who haven't seen Papyrus before, well, he's dressed … rather particular, for a skeleton. Also, if one's paying attention to his clothes, they will also notice he has a golden belt buckle as well. That is uh... in the shape of his face. Yeah.]

Friends!! Members of ALASTAIR!! Esteemed colleagues!!

And Sans.

I realized I had made a grave mistake of not introducing myself to the population at large here! As we are all teammates, I think this would be a great time for all of us to introduce ourselves to each other! So go ahead and say hi to each other here! I will start us off:

HELLO, EVERYONE! My name is THE GREAT PAPYRUS! I am a skeleton, and also a very cool dude. I will answer any questions you have about me being cool and popular, as it is a thing I am very well-versed in being! Nyeh heh heh!!!!

That said! I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday!! It has also come to my attention that not everyone has had the luck I've had in getting a gift from Santa!

[To which he then pulls out his new deep red cape from behind him, a flash of a particular symbol on it.]

But worry not, friends and future-friends!

I will present you all with a gift! It's a meal I've made for many here already, but I made enough for everyone, I think, and so feel free to ask for as much as you want! I can always make more if this isn't enough.

[ooc: feel free to threadjack other people/each other/whatever in this post!!]

[There was a loud-ass whoop over from a local goblin tavern. Patrons jumped as Ban put one foot on the table.]

Hell yeah~! You been practicing, Papyrus~?!

[YEAH, HE'S DRUNK. WHAT ABOUT IT?]

[boneafide]

I HAVE!! I can guarantee this batch is even better than the one I made for everyone's presents earlier!! Nothing caught on fire!!!

[ Drunk again though, Ban... ]

[perma_banned]

You dunno how much that makes me haaaappy~! Havin' my advice get taken seriously!

[He threw his arms up, a goblin or two thrown from Ban's ridiculous enthusiasm.]

Yer the beeeeest, Great Papyrus~!

[winces]

Oh, Papyrus, that was so cool!

[ says the person who is easily impressed but shhhhhhhhhh ]

I wish I were as bold and brave as you!

[boneafide]

Olivia!!!

[ Papyrus practically screams. ]

I've never seen you in video-person before!! Wowie, magic-technology is amazing!

Well- you're in luck!! I know someone who's dream it is is to help most everyone's wishes come true! I'll let Undyne know right away you wish you were as bold and brave as me, and while you probably can't reach exactly those same levels, I am sure she will help you settle for best runner up!

[winces]

[ olivia immediately flusters at the scream, her cheeks coloring. ]

Oh — gosh, you're right! [ she was so distracted by her awe of you... she completely forgot to be surprised by the sight of him. ] It's nice to finally see you...! I can definitely see the resemblance, hehe.

[ hang on though what was that—? ]

Oh, but! D-Do you really think it's possible...? I mean, I'm such a mess...

[Uh...

Uh...

UHHHHHHHHH...

Well, this sure is a Thing he's looking at here.]

What manner of meal, precisely?

[Not that he's hungry, but he's seem so inexplicably proud of it Gilgamesh feels obligated to ask.]

[boneafide]

Oh, hello, Gilgamesh!!

It's spaghetti!! I know I said I'd make some with you, but I got so excited, and the goblins asked me to cook for them, so I got carried away.

I've learned new techniques now though, so there's even more for me to teach you too!

[babbylon]

...so you were the one that left that inedible slop on my doorstep?

[He doesn't sound too happy. At all.]

Are you 'dead' or 'alive'?

[boneafide]

Very much alive, of course!!

[adoube]

You're terrifying.

[sanicspeed]

Hey, uh...Papyrus. Is this like one of those Ask Me Anythings popular people put up on Reddit all the time?

[Might as well rub in the ego a bit.]

[boneafide]

Uh... I have never read anything about asking before??

Is this a Surface thing?

[Sorry pal, he has no idea what half those things you said are.]

[sanicspeed]

Surface thing, huh? Yeah, it's a surface thing for people who everyone knows. I guess everyone knows you now, right?

[wright_idea]

[Considering what I know of his cooking skills, I'm a little scared of what this meal looks like right now.]

So, uh, is the "Great" part mandatory?

[boneafide]

Absolutely.

[wright_idea]

[He's got a healthy self-esteem, at least.]

R-right. So, uh, I hope you guys aren't getting too much flack? I mean, we don't really have a lot of skeletons in the ranks.

Hello, Papyrus. What's the symbol on your cape mean?

[boneafide]

Hello, Flora!!

It's what all the members of the Underground's Royal Guard wear!! It's the emblem of our kingdom, the Delta Rune. I think there's a story about it? But I forget how it goes.

video; un strongfish91; i was going to tag in regular but this is better

[aspearation]

Of course there's a story! Are you sitting down?? It's time for a history lesson!

[ He doesn't really need to be sitting down, but it's the right thing to say! ]

The prophecy says that someday, an angel from the surface will come to the underground, and free all the monsters! That's why the king and queen made it their symbol, and why the royal guard still wears it, because it represents our hopes, our dreams, and our freedom! [ She's in her bedroom as she's posing dramatically. Is the wind blowing? There must be a window open... ] If you're going to wear that symbol, you'd better understand what it means!

[showmeyourwreath]

Oh, wow! I'd wondered, but that's wonderful, Papyrus. Won't you put it on? I'm sure you'll only look even more dashing than you normally do!
