Hello! I hope you're all doing well! The Timeline has finally computed your mission objective — sorry it took so long! Sometimes he gets a little slow. Now, I know he may seem— different, but he's always been correct! Just... ah, be careful when talking to him? He's a learning machine, and all he really knows is about missions, so sometimes he says some strange things when he goes off topic. But don't worry! He tries his best. I'll connect you to him now.

TIMELINE.EXE IS PROGRAMMED TO RELEASE MISSION PARAMETERS. MISSION OBSERVATION IS COMPLETE AND RESULTS FOR MISSION: Nalawi ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Hello World ( ゚▽゚)/ Take the hassle and confusion out of the
Mission,
Try this One Weird Trick!

To help NALAWI, you will need to DEFEAT the GODDESS NALANNI so the energy can return to the world.* In doing so, the people of NALAWI will LOSE THEIR POWERS but the world will continue on. If this objective is not reached, NALAWI will BURN OUT PREMATURELY.

*NOTE FROM TIMELINE.EXE: Giant squid of the Sea, too
2 or 0 Not 1! Thank you

Is it less likely to be able to lock away a God than kill them?

Both are equally impossible, aren't they.

[ She won't even deny that. ]

But we do not know how long it would take to lock them away or how long it will last.

[There is a way. It's the same way humans locked all monsters behind that barrier. He's sure this would work.

...But wouldn't that be crueler?

Instead, he's silent.

We'll get through this, don't you worry.

That's not what I'm worried most about...

I'm sure this will... will all work out!

I'll make it up to you, I promise. And I'll keep an eye on Mr. Koltira.

Alice, I'm not mad at you. I'm not mad at anyone for this. If this is what everyone feels needs to be done, then...

Well! That's why I'm wishing you good luck! And please do keep an eye on him! I'm glad you two seem to be getting along better these days! He needs more friends than he realizes!
perma_banned: (ugh)

[personal profile] perma_banned 2016-05-15 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
The brat's right, buddy.

As a rule of thumb, it's tougher to keep somebody locked up than it is to kill them. It's also safer.

I won't try to convince you it's the right thing to do, though. Nobody should lie to ya'.

I... really don't like this, Ban. I'm sorry. I know you're very excited about this.

It's just another mission for me.

[He was stretching, pulling one elbow over his head while giving Papyrus a shrug.]

I'm happy I've got a way to save you whether or not it's another sin to add to my list~.
boneafide: (pic#10006566)

[personal profile] boneafide 2016-05-16 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't need to be saved like this! If you're doing this, please don't say you're doing it for me!
perma_banned: (nyeh heh)

[personal profile] perma_banned 2016-05-16 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ban didn't even need to hesitate.]

Kahaha, sure~. I guess I just wanna see if I could kill a goddess or noooot.

[ Well, that answer feels more honest. He just wishes the others would own up to that much as well. ]

Am I wrong for feeling like... this is wrong?
perma_banned: (get in the medieval van)

[personal profile] perma_banned 2016-05-17 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
The problem is, it's the most practical solution from our perpsectives. A lot of us probably know how dangerous this could get. It doesn't make us right.

Course, I don't care about justifying myself like any other idiot here~. I know I'm a piece of shit.

I know you're right, but I don't want to do the right thing. Can't really say why, no matter what I tell ya'.

[To be fair, 99% of it was because Ryba and Nalanni's mere existences caused his friends suffering. Right or not--Ban wanted them dead.]

[ Somehow, in a weird way, that almost makes Papyrus feel better. It takes a lot of effort on his behalf, but he manages to make the thread private. First time he's done that on his own, actually. ]

I really appreciate your honesty. I just wanted you to know that! I know... not everyone tells me the truth all the time. And sometimes I think I just don't like hearing it! But sometimes I do.

I think... this makes you the most honest person I know!

[It was uncanny when Papyrus actually had those moments of clarity and understanding. Ban was left in a stupor for a moment. He was dumbfounded, trying to find a reason he could have teased Papyrus as if he felt he needed to get the guy in a good mood, again.

Instead, Papyrus showed an unbelievable amount of maturity even when faced by total madmen on all sides.]


Isn't that messed up? That I'm the guy you're calling 'the most honest'?

[Ban frowned inwardly and posed the question--]

Hey. Wanna hang out for a bit? Before everything goes belly up?
boneafide: (pic#10021200)

[personal profile] boneafide 2016-05-20 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Heh!

[ It is a little funny. The thief is the most honest. But it's true. Ban's always been pretty upfront about his expectations, his past, and his actions. Papyrus wouldn't exactly call him honorable, but... honest is still a good word.

Being invited to hang out a little did cheer him up a little on it's own, though. ]


Yes, I would like to, actually!

[There hadn't been any paranoia in Ban when it came to their mission details. He wasn't at all confident he could kill a goddess, but it didn't seem to matter. He didn't feel a lick of fear.

After all, the prospect of potentially dying felt like an added bonus.

Admittedly, he had no inclination to share his deluded plan with the one guy who would eagerly look to stop him.]


Alriiight~! I'll bring some drinks and we can head to the beach!

[Well, one of the hundreds of them.]

Drinks?

[Oh boy. Okay. More drinking. WHOOOOO.]

I would prefer... anything but wine.
perma_banned: (nah you'll die)

[personal profile] perma_banned 2016-05-26 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Papyrus expertly flung himself past one trap and directly into another one.]

Ohhh, that's easy! I've got somethin' better than wine, after aaaall~!

[Ban raised his arms--or rather, tossed them up--and hollered. Since he was alone, no one was caught off guard by the sudden expression.

A tree's palm leaves may have been ruffled a little, but that also could have been the wind.]


I'm by the docks~! Where we had the shark hunting conteeeest~!

[It would be bad for anyone who didn't want to die!

So, Ban loved it.]


! [He didn't say anything--Ban just made that stupid squeal happen like he always did when he was excited.]
