video; during day 1 of the invasion

[boneafide]

[The video starts with VERY loud music, and a very dizzying, swinging view of the inside of one of the fighter ships. From the coloring of white and gold, one can assume it’s from the Zymandis. The next thing one might note is the sheer amount of fire present inside of the jet. That cockpit is not exactly big, and one can say maybe it’s about 75% fire at this point.

Eventually, a gloved hand picks up the necklace communicator, and holds it up to show himself in said cockpit of said burning fighter jet. The skeleton is smiling widely, while also off on the side frantically pressing buttons, pulling levers- basically, the things someone does when they have no idea what they are doing. ]

HELLO, FELLOW AL DENTE FRIENDS!!

[Papyrus means Audente, but...]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IN THIS SONG, BUT IT SOUNDS GREAT!! Anyway!! I have obtained one of the fighter jets from the… What were their names again?

[He pauses in his button pressing for just a moment, and then shrugs. Meanwhile, the entire plane is definitely shaking wildly, of which Papyrus really doesn’t seem too bothered.]

But don’t worry, I am not alone here! Fire is my co-pilot!!

[Fire makes a bad co-pilot it seems, because there’s another loud explosion that definitely ISN’T the music. If anyone happens to be looking at the sky during this time, you will definitely be hearing (MUFFLED DAME MAS GASOLINA) playing in the distance as Papyrus’ newly acquired fighter jet is definitely about to crash and blow up.]

You know, they really should label the “land” button on these things!! I’ll figure it out, though. How’s everyone else doing!!

[Probably better than Papyrus.]

Comments

let's say she can rescue him!!

[boneafide]

[ The barrier spell successfully encases Papyrus if only for a few moments- and when he realizes what's happened, he actually looks vaguely uncomfortable, entirely for the first time since he started the video. It does, however, slow his pull towards the ground that Aqua manages to catch him on her glider. ]

oke!! o7

[keeper]

[ (Oof, doesn't have much padding does he...) She winces as many, many bones collide into her, but she's thankful otherwise that she made it in time and lets out a sigh of—

Relief cut short when a burst of enemy fire nearly clips one of her wings. She swerves sharply out of the way, one arm steering and the other holding tight to—um, is that his ribcage...?—her passenger. ]

I'll take us somewhere safer. ...Let me know if there's anywhere you need to be.

[ (She's basically a free Uber! Please leave her a nice review.) But anyway this is definitely not a good spot to be landing right now... ]

[boneafide]

Well, I don't really need to go anywhere! Just land safely, and if you could also never use that bubble-thing on me again, I would appreciate it!!

[Because otherwise, he's not afraid whatsoever of what's going on.]

[keeper]

[ O-oh... He's... not very happy with her... ]

I... I'll do my best. [ To land, that is, which she does!

And as it's easier to face him when both their feet are touching the ground, she waits to address the issue(?) after they've touched down. ]

I'm very sorry if I've offended you... Are you uncomfortable with magic...?

[boneafide]

[Meanwhile, in the distance, the remainders of the plane completely collide with the side of a building.]

Oh, no, I'm not uncomfortable with most magic!! I'm made of it, after all!!

But... I would like to avoid... that bubble thing.

[Specifically, barrier-like magic.]

But other than that, thank you for saving me! And good job on not crashing!

[Yeah, even though he was uncomfortable for a bit there, Papyrus is Too Good to try and make someone feel bad about it.]

[keeper]

[ (dame mas gasolinaaaa........)

And! That is good to know, because Aqua's own constitution is probably mostly magic as well... ]

I see. I'll be careful next time.

[ She smiles in response to his cheerful gratitude, and gives a small shake of her head. ] No need to thank me.

[ Just doing what she can to help... AND ALSO, FINALLY, MANY A COMMENT LATER, ] ...I'm Aqua, by the way. [ if her network un didn't already give her away... or her general color palette... ] I'm sorry I wasn't able to introduce myself earlier. [ Even if there were (still are) aliens trying to laser them outta the sky, a girl's gotta have manners!! ]

[boneafide]

Thank y- oh. Well, I'm doing it anyway! When I do something nice, I want to be thanked! So thank you, really!

I'm the GREAT PAPYRUS!! It's nice to meet you, Aqua!

[ HANDSHAKE??? ]

[keeper]

[ HANDSHAKE!!!!!!! and also a small half-bow half-curtsy, since he seems to warrant it with such a magnificent title! ]

It's a pleasure, Great Papyrus.

[ +1 FRIEND ACQUIRED!!!!!!! ]

[boneafide]

Ah-

[CURTSYING... SHIT... DOES HE NEED TO BE MORE FANCY NOW?? Now, because he seemed fancy, and she seemed fancier, he has to outfancy her by giving a grand bow, complete with rolling hand gestures.]

THE TRUE PLEASURE IS MINE!

[keeper]

[ she has been successfully outfancied!!! and accepts her crippling defeat with a humble nod. ]

Well then, I must return to battle. [ there's still plenty of enemy ships out there waiting to be taken down... ]

Stay safe, Papyrus. Let me know if you should need anything.

[ NO MORE COMMANDEERING AND CRASHING OF SPACECRAFTS PLS... ]

[boneafide]

[ Some day, Aqua will have a chance to win back her honor. Some day. ]

Oh, yes!! You too! Stay safe, you definitely have more organs to lose than I do! But let me know if you do lose any, I can make you new ones!
