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.]

Not yet, but I'm sure it's around here somewhere! I started by pushing all the blue buttons first, because you know, when you think "blue" you think "stop!" But that didn't work. So maybe I should try green next?

[slapfight]

You have to steer it towards the ground without crashing first.

[why is this her life.]

[boneafide]

STEER???

[ Papyrus looks to the wheel- or rather, the lack thereof.]

That is going to be a lot harder without a wheel!!

[slapfight]

What happened to the controls??

[boneafide]

Fire.

[slapfight]

YOU ARE GOING TO SHATTER INTO A MILLION PIECES. OR WHATEVER IT IS YOUR SPECIES DOES WHEN YOU DIE.

[boneafide]

Turn into dust! But don't worry about it! I wouldn't have done this if I didn't have a plan on how to get back down!!

[slapfight]

I'm gonna regret asking this but... What exactly is your plan?

[boneafide]

Use my magic, of course!

[slapfight]

Oh...

[well... that explains it] Why didn't you say that in the first place?

[boneafide]

I kind of thought "I'm a skeleton monster" covered that "I can use magic" thing!!

[slapfight]

That doesn't mean anything! There are numerous races across the galaxy who can't use magic.

[boneafide]

Like you?

[slapfight]

[ R U D E]

I can manipulate metal, you clod!!

[boneafide]

[Oh no.]

OH!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!!!

[boneafide]

HELP ME LAND THIS PLANE!!!!

1/2

[slapfight]

YOU SAID YOU HAD IT UNDER CONTROL.

2/2

[slapfight]

Whatever. Just try not to crash until I find a roof tall enough.

[boneafide]

Not possible! I'm going down, very very quickly.

[slapfight]

If you had just asked for help to start with, we wouldn't be having this problem!

[she is, however, following the sight of his failing plane and RUNNING AS FAST AS HER LITTLE LEGS CAN CARRY HER. DON'T DIE, SPAGHETTI SENSEI.]

[boneafide]

I didn't know you could control metal! What would you have done to help if I asked for it, stood there and feel bad you couldn't do anything?

[ get longer legs peridot- oh. ]

[slapfight]

[RUDE.]

You don't get to judge me if I'm risking having a large flaming object hit me in the face just to use my metal powers!!

[boneafide]

Oh no, I'm not judging you at all!! Please come save me, Peridot, I would really like to see you use your powers!!

[slapfight]

Working on it. [and once she's found a place close enough to where Papyrus is currently plummeting that's within her range, but also NOT likely to hit her in the face, she will start waving her hands around.

unfortunately, she keeps forgetting the magitek picks up on thoughts.]

C'mon... work this time!
