Hello, everyone!

[And to those who have yet to see a talking, walking skeleton, here you go.]

I wanted to first say good job to everyone who helped the villagers to safety! And also thank you to those who helped protect everyone! Everyone really did their best out there, and I think ALASTAIR will be very proud of us! I know I am. Hopefully now there can be attempts for real peace between the humans and the goblins!

[Although he doesn't agree exactly on the way everything went down, there's no point in bringing that up when he's trying to congratulate everyone.]

I do have another thing I wanted to ask, though.

[He rubs subconsciously at his wrist, and continues.]

I haven't heard from Koltira at all. I've tried calling him a few times, but he isn't answering his phone. So if anyone has seen him in the past few days, please let me know! I am worried about him.

That's pretty weird! What about fish people, spider people, or ghosts??

[twinpeak]

Hmmm... Does a merman count? They're basically fish people, right? But there was definitely that one spider lady—pretty creepy, if I had to say so. Had my fair share of ghosts, too.

[boneafide]

Wowie!! You really have met tons of monsters on the Surface already!! That's amazing!! And they got along with you humans, right??

[ Dipper pauses. Papyrus is so... enthusiastic and jovial that he isn't quite sure he wants to answer with, well, actually, not usually. Time to dance around this. ]

... Most people don't really believe in the supernatural or monsters. They're kinda—I dunno, hidden away from society, y'know? I didn't either, until I went looking for them over the summer.

[boneafide]

Oh, I get it! Monsters live on the surface, but keep to themselves! That makes sense! Monsters can tend to prefer their privacy!

[twinpeak]

[ ... THIS IS FINE. ]

Oh, yeah! I guess that must be it, huh? They're... really good at keeping their privacy, usually.

[boneafide]

[ Just keep up the lies, it's what works best with him. ]

You know how monsters are! Puzzles, mysteries, all those good things! It's part of our culture. Don't worry, we're all really friendly if you got to know us!

[twinpeak]

[ Easy for a skeleton guy to say. But even so— ]

Hey, I'm not afraid of them! It's been pretty cool seeing what's out there. I thought my summer vacation was going to be pretty boring until I started running into them.

[boneafide]

[ Just because he's a skeleton monster does not mean he has not met other Not So Nice monsters, or not been called a weirdo by his own kind, DIPPER. ]

Life is very boring without monsters, you are correct! And you're right to not be afraid of them either! Most times, being afraid of something or someone is just because you don't understand it. And so, I also volunteer that if you have any questions about monsters, feel free to ask me!! Because I am an expert on them, as I am one, and also because it means less people are confused-and-or-afraid! Everyone wins!
