[ on-screen: ( 1 ) gwen stacy, a completely normal college student, wide-eyed, frowning. this is serious. a tragedy in motion. ]

I know we're all busy what with smashing bugs, do they even still count as bugs when you can spike them like a football? [ gwen stacy, asking the tough questions, ] but I have an emergency. See this? [ she holds up a cell phone in front of her face. the background reads "THE MARY JANES." the eagle-eyed will note the battery symbol in the corner: warning red. ]

This is my life. Not only is it my life, it's sitting at less than 10% charge so if I don’t get a charger for it pronto, I will literally die.

[ """""""literally.""""""" ]

Somebody has to have one. Help me, Samsung-Juan, whoever you are. You're my only hope.

[ other people have questions starting with "how" and "why" and "what the actual f—" gwen stacy, however, has #priorities. ]

[boneafide]

LIKE SPAGHETTI?

[construing]

I do, actually! [ she pulls another face. ]

You had to mention food. Now I'm hungry.

[boneafide]

GOOD!! Because you are in luck!! I am actually in the middle of making some right now!!

[Sure enough, if one looked at the background, he's in the kitchen.

The is also the beginnings of a fire, and black smoke.]

You can come down and have some, if you can find the kitchen!

[construing]

[ (；☉_☉) ]

Oh. Oh, great! I'll be right there!

[ with a fire extinguisher. or six. ]

But first, I think there's smoke.

[boneafide]

It's alright if you need to smoke before, although I should inform you, it's a bad habit!!

[construing]

[ (ლಠ益ಠ)ლ ]

No, there is smoke behind you! [ she even points for good measure. ]

Fire! Fire bad?

[ does the frankenstein schtick even…work…for skeletons…? ]

[boneafide]

[Papyrus turns to look at what he's cooking, and sure enough, there's fire.]

Oh, yes! That's part of the cooking process! There's always fire.

[He puts his hands on his hips and turns back to the communicator.]

Anyway, it'll be ready soon! Come by if you want some!

[construing]

[ yes, of course, fire is a part of the process. how could she not know that. ]

I'll be right there.

[ with ten fire extinguishers. no reason. ]

[boneafide]

[ Don't dash his dreams of having a fire sale where the sale is really just things on fire.

At least the fire remains on the stove. Like, all of the stove. But at least just the stove. He doesn't seem worried. ]
