Video; un: coolskeleton95

[boneafide]

[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!!]

Oh, you figured it out! I guess I did just give you a hint. I usually leave my name, but I thought maybe you'd like the surprise!

[What's tone.]

[babbylon]

[It's the thing that's going to bone you very, very shortly.]

I'd certainly qualify it as a surprise. Of sorts.

[boneafide]

[Please don't bone him, gil.......... ]

So?? How was it??

[Acceptable answers:

* Cold
* Wet
* Disgusting
* All of the above ]

[babbylon]

What an incredible experience! It was...

[babbylon]

...absolutely the most wretched piece of attempted artistry I've ever had the displeasure of gazing upon in my life.

[Ouch.]

[boneafide]

...

So it was memorable!!

[babbylon]

Indeed. Memorably horrific.

[boneafide]

Well! I'm sure if pasta isn't your thing, there is something else I can make for you that you'd like better. I understand, some people are allergic, and there's no reason to feel bad about that!

LAUGHS LOUDLY...

[babbylon]

[He's going to regret asking, but...]

Can you make anything falling within the territory of edible? Or were you simply praised one too many times by some pitying soul?

it's true though.......... 1/2

[boneafide]

I can also make ketchup now!

2/2

[boneafide]

Unfortunately.

[babbylon]

Ketchup is a condiment. It is not made so much as provided by default.

[Is he really having this conversation? Apparently so.]

Regardless of that, your skills are in need of serious improvement. And I will expect it from you in the coming year. Or else.

[boneafide]

... I see! Issuing a threat as a form of motivation for me to improve!! I accept your challenge, Gilgamesh!!

You should tell me what kind of food you like best, so I can improve on those first!

[babbylon]

[Evidently Papyrus has managed to do something right, as Gilgamesh puffs up with clear pleasure at his reply.]

Excellent work ethic! While it is undeniably difficult to please the palette of a King, I prefer spicy foods. Curry, most especially.

[boneafide]

[ And since they are on video, Gilgamesh can see Papyrus race off to grab a pen and paper to start vigorously taking notes in. ]

Spicy foods, curry especially! Got it!!

[babbylon]

I do warn you, you are likely to fail. I, Gilgamesh, only grace my tongue with the finest of flavors, so this may yet prove an exercise in futility.

[babbylon]

HOWEVER!!

[babbylon]

It would prove all the worse not to try at all! So do your utmost! And if you are to fail, fail spectacularly! By order of the King!

[boneafide]

[ If there's one thing that gets Papyrus going, it's when someone starts yelling encouraging things at him. He practically throws the journal down in excitement, and starts yelling back. ]

YES!! YOUR MAJESTY!! I WILL DO MY BEST TO MAKE THE FINEST CURRY I CAN FOR YOU!!

[babbylon]

YOUR FEALTY HAS BEEN SO NOTED! WALK YOUR PATH WITH PRIDE!

[...actually, come to think of it...]

...OR WHATEVER OTHER SKELETAL MOTIONS ARE APPROPRIATE! EVEN AN ABERRATION SUCH AS YOURSELF SHOULD AIM HIGH! IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE!

...OR UNLIVE, I AM UNCERTAIN WHICH APPLIES IN YOUR PARTICULAR CASE!

[boneafide]

THE CORRECT TERM IS "LIVE", YOUR MAJESTY!! I AM NOT A DEAD SKELETON!!

BUT THANK YOU YOUR WORDS OF INSPIRATION!! I ALWAYS AIM AS HIGH AS I CAN!!! SELF-IMPROVEMENT IS THE GREATEST THING ANYONE CAN ACCOMPLISH!! AND WHILE I AM VERY GREAT AS I AM, I KNOW I CAN ALWAYS BECOME GREATER!!!
