Video 1: Arrival
[A harsh, loud, excitable voice grates its way across the comms. Feast your eyes, Genessians, on the coolest, handsomest skeleton you will ever see.]
HELLO, GENESSIA! IT IS I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS!! IT SEEMS EVERYONE HAS BEEN...KIDNAPPED!??? THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE MISTAKE!! AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM NOT A KID AND I AM NOT NAPPING!
EVEN THOUGH IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN NAPPING A VERY LONG TIME...
NO! A FAMOUS-ROYAL-GUARDSMAN-IN-TRAINING WOULD NEVER NAP! I'M NO LAZYBONES, BUT A HARDWORKYBONES! AND TO PROVE IT, I, PUZZLER EXTRAORDINAIRE, WILL SOLVE THIS INGENIOUS AND PRETTY PUZZLE SET BEFORE ME!
[He refers to the Weiss hologram, which he gallantly strides towards, bending at its base. One hand's on the phone, facing his face so you don't miss a second of his charisma, while the other fiddles with the intricate machinery.]
I SEE! ALL THAT STUFF ABOUT "TAMPERING" AND "PREVENTATIVE PROTOCOL" WAS BUT A MISLEADING RUSE! THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL NOT BE SO EASILY JAPED! JUST A LITTLE MORE...AND...
[You hear the gentle "pshhh" of knockout gas.]
OHO! A CLEVER TRAP!! SO THAT'S WHAT THEY MEANT BY "NAPPING". NYEH HEH...HEH...HEH...
[You hear the gentle "sploosh" of Papyrus falling into The Bay's water. Don't worry, he's still answer your calls and congratulations. He's a light sleeper.]
Video 2: Adjustment
[If you give Papyrus anything to do with social media, he'll naturallyabuse it to the fullest. The camera's angled down to a skeleton in a lousy bed with the covers pulled up to his chin.]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE MONEY, COOL NECKLACE, PAMPHLETS, PHONE, AND KEY. I CLEVERLY DEDUCED THAT IT LED TO THIS VERY SPOT! THE GENESSIA COMMONSPACE! NYEHHEHEH.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE ROOM SERVICE OF THIS HOTEL IS NOT UP TO MY STANDARDS. THE LANDLADY TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T OFFER BEDTIME STORIES. NONE! AT ALL!!!
UN. BELIEVABLE.
HOW'S A SKELETON SUPPOSED TO GET ANY SHUT-EYE THIS WAY!?!?
[That's Papyrus for "please tell me a bedtime story." If he keeps talking at his usual volume, with such thin walls, no one else is going to get much sleep either.]

[But they've gotten a little off-topic.] I still don't get the bedtime story thing - no one did that for me. [Not everyone grew up in awful circumstances, Darc...] What are you going to do?
Re: [Video]
[Which is the *proper* way to say that you potty-mouth.]
THE FIRST THING I'M GOING TO DO IS
[He holds a pedagogical finger up in the air, then directs it sympathetically towards the screen.]
FEEL EXTREMELY SORRY FOR YOU!! HOW COULD YOU HAVE GONE SO LONG WITHOUT THE FUNDAMENTALS!? DID YOU GROW UP IN A HOTEL??
[no mean feat]
[Video]
[Darc glares through the screen. He's as much taken aback as he is angry.] You...how dare you! I was fighting my way to recognition and freedom while you were being coddled like a baby! I don't want your damn pity!
[For what it's worth, he's not as pissed as he could be. But he's getting there.]
Re: [Video]
REALLY!? ME TOO!! STRUGGLING FOR FAME AND FREEDOM. WHAT A PAPYRUS THING TO DO.
WAS THE HOTEL ALSO STUCK UNDERGROUND???
[They have so much in common.]
[Video]
[That he wasn't raised in a hotel? That he meant he was fighting a war? That they're nothing alike?]
[That none of what he said was meant as a compliment?]
[In the end, there's only mush. With a shake of his head, Darc decides that he's had enough. The feed cuts. On his end, it's another few minutes before he moves. It seems you win this round, Papyrus.]
Re: [Video]
Darc's phone mysteriously died. What rotten luck! But luck has a way of changing. They'll meet again some day soon where he won't escape so easily. He can feel it in his bones...]
