[ He swore it, after the last disaster. He would give warning. He would give everyone time.

The latter is no longer an option. Even this garbled communication takes more than he can give, and will exact its bloody price soon after. He has only moments before he loses himself entirely, so he works quickly, clasping his right hand over the rings on his left. The ALASTAIR jewelry. The gift, meant to help him, its crystal now nearly black. And the last one, meant to show home--showing, instead, nothing at all. ]


Don't --

[ He groans, his smoothly lilting voice now breathless, now rough with pain. There's the sound of squelching, of cracking bone. Something to help his lucidity. Somebody, really. An agonized shriek follows--not his own. ]

-- don't.

[ No. Not right. Not good enough. Another twist of the runeblade, another wet, shattering sound.

He half-growls, half-whimpers. Not much time, now. ]


Don't look for me.

[ OOC: AND HE'S BACK. Log will be posted in a few hours! This is just an IC heads-up in order to create a trail, should characters want/need one. Koltira is now largely incoherent and cannot reply to this post! But feel free to talk amongst yourselves; yadda yadda. ]

...That's all right, Papyrus.

Sorry to make you think about all that.

[ Yeah, he doesn't like thinking about it. And he's going to put it out of his mind, as soon as he can. But he does want to say this bit first at least. ]

He tried... [ He doesn't want to say the word, exactly. ] ...I had on some armor, so it didn't go through, but...

He isn't himself when he's like this. I thought I could talk to or get him to wake up, but it doesn't... work. I don't think he forgave himself for what happened last time either.

That's why I'm going to try and stay close. So if... someone we know gets in trouble, I can do something.

That's awfully brave of you.

[But it's something to consider, that talking won't get through to Koltira. The only thing he can do, really, is to keep his word to him. To run, if he sees him.]

But do be careful. Wouldn't want anythin' happening to you, either.

Undyne said she was going to go with me!! So I'm not going to be doing this alone!! And...

...Maybe you can visit me too?
fateality: (and so)

[He sighs quietly. Papyrus can't see it, but he smiles a little.]

Of course I will.

No worries. I'll be able to find you.

Thanks! And yes, you can find me- I will be the very attractive skeleton in cowboy clothes in the middle of the desert!!
fateality: (all righty then)

Damn right you will be.

Stay safe, Great Papyrus.
