The Great Guardian Papyrus [Video & Action, backdated 6/23]

[After Papyrus' flight accident--stay tuned--he'd eventually recovered to read the newspaper that prematurely ended his spree. It turned out one joy had felled its lesser, and he could not be happier. The whole network must hear about this!]

OH MY GOD!!! I WON!!! I'M THE GREAT FAYREN GUARDIAN, AND I GOT ALL THE VOTES!!!!

[Technically he was the only one running, but he likes that interpretation better.]

I'M SO....

POPULAR!
POPULAR!!

PLEASE DON'T BE SAD IF I DON'T RESPOND RIGHT AWAY TO YOUR CONGRATULATIONS, ADULATIONS, AND COMPLIMENTATIONS!! I'M UP TO MY EYESOCKETS IN PLANS!! SEE YOU SOON! NYEH HEH HEH!!!

[Don't worry, he's pretty punctual about the phone regardless. At least someone's publicly excited about the results. He just has a few...affairs to settle first...]

[OOC: More mini-threads to come in the comments below! I'll ping the relevant parties; in the meantime, feel free to tell him how awesome he is.]

[He's a little nervous, coming into his last day of work. Always responsible, he'd confidently submitted his two-weeks' notice, assured that he'd get that coveted Guardian position he wanted.

Then he did. And while that did make him extremely happy and more than a little inflated, there was one thing that took some wind out of his bony sails: quitting.

As great and hard working as he is, it simply wasn't possible to maintain two jobs, especially cities apart. Fortunately he'd prepared a monologue for this very occasion. Now he just had to deliver it to Rose and any other coworkers who happened to be in the office. ~~without crying~~]

GOOD MORNING, BB WOLF. I'VE COME FOR SOME VERY SAD AND HAPPY NEWS. SAPPY NEWS.

I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM NOW OFFICIALLY THE FAYREN GUARDIAN! I OWE IT TO MYSELF FOR MY MANY GOOD QUALITIES, BUT ALSO TO YOU, BB WOLF, FOR YOUR GREAT JOB AND YOUR WISE JUDGMENT IN GIVING IT TO ME.

WHICH MEANS, UM, THAT I WON'T BE WORKING HERE ANYMORE.

BUT PLEASE DON'T CRY! BECAUSE YOU CAN ALWAYS COME VISIT ME IN FAYREN WHERE I'LL BE BUSY, FILLING FAYREN WITH JUSTICE LIKE RAVIOLI WITH SAUCE!! BESIDES, I'LL BE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE, BECAUSE EVERGLADE, UM, SORT OF SUCKS.

[Not quite the mood he's going for. Well, he'll just ride this rough patch.]

IT'S SPOOKY, UNCLEAN, AND PEOPLE ARE SORT OF MEAN TO EACH OTHER. I HATE IT HERE...

[There's the frown. Time for the upside-down!]

...BUT THAT'S WHY I'M PROUD TO HAVE WORKED FOR YOU GUYS!! BECAUSE YOU'RE THE DIAMOND IN THIS CITY'S ROUGH. EVEN THOUGH THIS PLACE IS THE WORST, YOU GUYS ALWAYS TRY YOUR HARDEST TO BE THE BEST AND MAKE THINGS BETTER!! THAT MUST BE WHY I WAS DESTINED TO HAVE MY FIRST JOB HERE. WE WERE FATED TO MEET THIS WAY, LIKE TWO GREATNESS MAGNETS. THANK YOU FOR HIRING ME, EVEN THOUGH NO ONE EVER ENJOYED MY SPAGHETTI.

WELL, MAYBE IT'S TOO GOOD FOR THIS PLACE! THEY MIGHT LIKE IT IN FAYREN!! AND THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT. FAREWELL, MY FRIENDS. YOU'RE THE BEST COWORKERS I'VE EVER HAD.

[Nailed it, and not a single tear! He can hardly imagine how, once he gets his deputies going, his job will be even better.]

Well... the Doctor did... The fluffy haired one.

[AND A GIANT HUG.] Don't forget to come visit if you're not too busy! Okay?

[That lifts his mood and makes said fluffy-Doctor one he esteems all the higher.]

HE DID!? WOWIE, I GUESS I'M A GREATER CHEF THAN I THOUGHT!!!

[He happily collects his PDA, squeezing tight in return.]

OF COURSE! MY MEMORY IS TOP SHELF!! I'LL LOOK YOU GUYS UP IF I'M EVER IN TOWN!

[Which is just about the only reason he could fathom to visit this dump again. High praise!]

Hey, Papyrus.

[Darc is standing nearby, arms crossed over his chest. He's looking a little tired but it doesn't seem to be stopping him.]

...Congratulations.

HEY DARC! THANKS! I'LL DO MY BEST. SORRY WE DIDN'T GET TO HANG OUT MUCH. IF I'M NOT TOO BUSY GUARDIANING IT UP, MAYBE WE COULD HAVE A WORK REUNION SOMETIME!

[He managed the haunted house, and Darc was presumably sane enough to steer clear of Papyrus' cooking. The skeleton had no love for being spooked. Who would ever find that fun? He just didn't get Everglade.]

[Every knight needs his steed, and Papyrus needs a cool ride. How else can he conduct Guardian business but in the coolest, swiftest steed in town? Smoker had sold him on the coolness of motorcycles. Now it was time to sell him the whole thing.

He'd received a very generous stipend, courtesy of his job's ***** rating, and he knew just where to spend it.

He strode in so confidently, so full of excitement and expectation.]

GREETINGS, IT IS I, THE GREAT GUARDIAN PAPYRUS!! I'D LIKE TO BUY THE COOLEST MOTORCYCLE YOU HAVE!!

[His whole stay with Rowan was an exercise in disappointment. His cooking was..."indescribable" would be the kindest description. The two of them hadn't hung out as much as he'd hoped, and he'd never been the promised, popular attraction that would inevitably swarm the place with guests. The two were out and about so much that, despite sharing the same space, were as distant as any landlady and tenant.

But for all that, he wasn't personally disappointed in her. On the contrary, he was very grateful. The free rent had provided him a secure center from which he could explore the world, find his bearings, and eventually find the coveted fate that prompted his leave at all.

Even for their sparse interaction, he'll miss it. He ought to at least make a pleasant going-away speech. He packed his things, left his room impeccably tidy, and now had one final monologue to impart.]

GOOD AFTERNOON, GREAT LANDLADY ROWAN! AS YOU KNOW

[Because he practically blasted it over the airwaves]

I'VE JUST BEEN ELECTED TO GUARDIANSHIP! AND THE GREATEST GUARDIANS ALWAYS LIVE VERY CLOSE TO THEIR OFFICE! WHICH MEANS I NO LONGER HAVE TO LIVE HERE!!!

WHICH, UM, MEANS THAT I'LL BE MOVING OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TEMPORARY STAY!! IT WAS NICE LIVING HERE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS SO CHEAP AND CLEAN!!! YOU'RE WELCOME TO VISIT MY EXCELLENT GUARDIANSPACE ANYTIME YOU LIKE! AND MY COOKING'S ALWAYS OPEN TO YOU TOO!!!

[Even though, in all likelihood, she never liked it.]

AS A GOING-AWAY PRESENT, FEAST YOUR EYES ON THAT!!!

[He points triumphantly to a jar of suckers, wrapped in a red bow he'd left on the counter.]

THE NICE INN I STAYED AT SOMETIMES ALWAYS GAVE ME A LOLLIPOP, SO I FIGURED YOUR LANDLADYSHIP COULD USE THE SAME THING!! I'M SURE PLENTY OF COOL PEOPLE WILL WANT TO STAY OVER NOW!!! I HOPE THAT WILL FILL BEGIN TO FILL THE HOLE I'VE LEFT BEHIND.

[So thoughtful. Leaving did kind of make him feel bad.]

[He had to start fulfilling his campaign promises, and that meant puzzles. Not the kind you'd find in the library, oh no. Real puzzles, the kind one braves in the great outdoors. Pressure plates and traps and mazes, oh my! Logically, the first one had to go near the entrance.

Papyrus makes a racket as he busily assembles the complicated machinery necessary for his mechanical monstrosity. He'd placed lots of yellow tape around the work area, reading: "CAUTION: SKELETON AT WORK!". But if you wander too close anyway, he'd perk up with some helpful advice.]

BEWARE THE DEADLY SPIKES!! I STILL HAVEN'T PUT THEM IN YET!!!

[He motions towards a spilled bag of those very contents.]

Edited 2019-07-01 02:32 (UTC)

[Like any good politician, one of the first things Papyrus would do was give spoils to his friends. His first day and already so corrupt. He has two people to call: Okita, and Ace.]

GOOD AFTERNOON, FRIEND! YOUR SUPPORT HAS FINALLY PAID OFF! I WON!!! I'M THE GUARDIAN NOW!!!!

WHICH MEANS YOU CAN NOW BE MY DEPUTY!!! WHAT DO YOU SAY???

Edited 2019-07-01 02:21 (UTC)

...I guess this means I'm gonna have to paint an office for you. Congratulations.

NYEH HEH HEH, I'LL TAKE THAT AS AN "ABSOLUTELY, GREAT BOSS PAPYRUS!! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"

AND IT WON'T STOP THERE! AFTER THAT, I'LL NEED ONE VERY COOL POSE-PICTURE FROM YOURSELF. AND AFTER THAT, I HAVE A SURPRISE GIFT! IT'S MY BEST ONE YET!!!
