[File 2] - Action

[get_dunked]

[After spending a number of days in Genessia already, Sans the Skeleton has already figured out much that is common knowledge in this world. Probably the most disappointing was that his brother, Papyrus, wasn't here.

He wasn't going to be sad or lonely though. He knew all along since first hearing Weiss Schnee's welcoming message that he can't struggle against this reality. All he can do is just live it the best he can with that same big perpetual grin of his plastered across his face.

So now, standing along a sidewalk somewhere in Genessia City, Sans was fast asleep standing up on his feet. That was it. That's how he chose to spend this day today, by falling asleep on his feet. Anyone passing by would probably think this would be the strangest thing they saw today.]

Ted was passing by when he caught sight of a sleeping Sans. He thought to himself, "This is the strangest thing I've seen today." In fact, he said it aloud before clasping his mouth.

No, this was more than a mere curio. This was an opportunity. An opportunity for decoration. He fished in his bag for a black hat with a red-feathered plume.

Then it would be time to carefully, delicately adorn Sans' baldness. He'd look dashing. If that went off without a hitch, he could start snapping photos.

[get_dunked]

[Sans didn't move at all, he was still asleep even though he had a plume on his head now.

Of course, as soon as any pictures were taken, and the photographer checked what he took, he would find Sans had somehow taken on a sexy pose just for that photo. The skeleton himself was now wide awake and facing Ted like nothing happened.]

"Hey again, bud. You out sight-seeing?"

[youfool]

Later, when Ted actually checked his camera, he'd look at his prize with something like awe. "Wasn't he sleeping when I took this? Must've gotten his good side." Into the scrapbook it goes, with pride.

For now Ted was glad Sans was the kind of person who's impossible to upset. He got along famously with that type. "Certainly; there's little else to do with sights but see them. I'm also out sound-hearing, scent-smelling, and once the time is right, taste-tasting. Apologies for disturbing your slumber; judging by your expression, it must have been a pleasant dream."

[get_dunked]

[Sans smiles and nods as he listened to the activities that Ted partakes in. He, too, enjoys a moment of taste-tasting on occasions. On Ted's apology for waking him, Sans lightly shrugged.]

"Nah, you don't need to apologize. I was just taking a break, is all. I wasn't in deep enough sleep for dreaming."

[youfool]

[Ted figured as much; Sans did seem a little on the chubby side. Though how he ate at all, what with his teeth permanently set in place, was a bit of a mystery. Down the eye sockets, perhaps?]

"Oh? A break from what, if you don't mind me asking? And so long as I'm asking and you're not minding, another: What do skeletons dream of? REM (rapid eye movement sleep) must look so queer under your calcified eyelids."

[la_pesado]

[Lopez wasn't really a high-maintenance robot, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. He didn't really need many repairs on a day to day basis, nor did he really need, nor desire, interaction with others. Yet admittedly he does need fuel, mainly in the form of motor oil and gasoline, and he needs it on a daily basis, lest he run out of power. And although Nova was a high-tech city with all sorts of options, Lopez found that the brand he preferred was only sold in Genessia City.

This is why he's currently walking down the street with a paper bag full of small containers of motor oil and gasoline. He nearly passes Sans before halting for a second, realizing that he'd passed here earlier and there was no creepy statue person then. It takes him a moment to see the necklace on the 'statue' and realize he's looking at another one of the city's kidnapped residents. His reaction is quite fitting.]

¿Que demonios?

[get_dunked]

[The skeleton's eyes open when he heard something. Ooo, what a interesting new creature. Is it a human? A robot? A humbot?]

"Hey there. You're a new one."

[la_pesado]

[Lopez, although at first shocked, seems to calm down somewhat. Somewhat. Its not everyday you meet someone who also sleeps standing.]

¿Es tan fácil de decir, o es usted uno de esos "Sé que todo el mundo" tipo de chicos? Más importante aún, ¿estaba durmiendo en serio de pie?

[get_dunked]

[Well, Sans was not prepared for this. So much for asking what he is.]

"Sorry, bud. I don't understand you."

[la_pesado]

[Yeah, he was sort of seeing that one coming.]

Sí, eso parece ser la norma con la gente que me encuentro.

[namemeansbeauty]

[Well that really was the strangest thing she had seen and she had seen a lot. As she stopped coming from the library she couldn't help but look over and wonder if she should say something or not. After all it would seen awfully rude for her to wake someone up.

Instead she found herself standing there, book in arm, trying to decide what was the best idea. At least for a minute.]

Are you okay?

[get_dunked]

[Sans awakens like he wasn't even sleeping as he turned to face another new face, greeting her with his usual perpetual grin.]

"Yep, perfectly fine. I was just dead tired is all."

[namemeansbeauty]

Dead tired?

[That is very tired, to the point one stands up That would make sense.]

Do you have a place to go home to to sleep?

[xuwu]

[ Not at all, it was all normal. He was actually going to entirely ignore Sans but then one of his snakes slid over to have a look, see if the skeleton was something they could eat. ]

[get_dunked]

[Sans doesn't react to the snake at first. But the moment the snake gets any closer, one eye shoots open, looking straight at the curious reptile.

The skeleton simply stays quiet and watches the critter.]

[xuwu]

[ The snake sticks out its tongue, waving it in the air at him. Is it sticking its tongue out to tease him as a way to see his reaction? Maybe, maybe not, Bei Dou doesn’t care.

It slithers closer, circling him.]

[goneturbo]

[ Ralph was busy trying to navigate to the location of the next job on the tiny phone thing in between his massive fingers and didn't notice Sans standing in the sidewalk.

BUMP ]

Oh, dang, sorry about that!

[get_dunked]

[Even while sleeping, Sans had remarkable reaction time. The moment he was bumped, he stepped out of the way, nice and awake and greeting the big man with his perpetual grin.]

"No problem, pal."

[No broken bones, at least.]

"So, how's it going? Besides living larger than life?"

[goneturbo]

Larger than- oh, ha ha. [ Nervous laughter. ]

That's, that's funny. [ Not like he's sensitive about it or anything. ]

Nothin, just trying to find a place, but I'm being a real bonehead.

[get_dunked]

[You're Sans's new best friend.]

"Sorry to hear. Not sure if I can be of much help. I'm Sans, by the way. What's the place you're looking for?"

[goneturbo]

Supposed to be this old apartment building I'm supposed to tear down, but I can't read the directions...

[ The problem of Ralph's network device being roughly the length of one of his fingers' width was immediately apparent. ]

They need to make these in larger sizes...
