[spaghettimonster]

Wow! Is everyone seeing this? Everything's covered in snow!

[Exciting news, everyone who hasn't woken up yet.]

This is so nostalgic. I almost feel homesick!

[dorkypantsuit]

Ah, you used to live somewhere it snowed?

[spaghettimonster]

And how! We were always snowed in.

the cryptid appears

[osteothropy]

Snow problem.

there he is

[spaghettimonster]

Sans! Are you claiming credit for this caticetrophe?

[walkonedge]

[ have someone who's literally just woken up thanks to this announcement. ]

..... Wasn't it sunny yesterday?

[spaghettimonster]

[That Papyrus is a helper. A capslocking helper.]

It was! That's why this is such a surprise.

[walkonedge]

[ there's a very strong feeling of deja vu right now. ]

Weird. I thought the snowing in summer was a one time thing.

[spaghettimonster]

...What does the snow have to do with it being summer?

[Genuine confusion.]

[walkonedge]

[ oh oops, belated realisation that it's not something that Papyrus would have known about. MASSIVE BACKPEDALING AHEAD. ]

Uh... it's nothing! It just happened once... before...? That's all.

[spaghettimonster]

Okay...

[Confusion intensifies, now bolstered by the buds of annoyance... But wait! They said "in summer." Maybe they said... "in Summer," like it's the name of a place. In which case, it has nothing to do with which holiday is coming up. No wonder it's nothing, he misunderstood everything.]

If you don't want to say where you live, I can forget it! I'm already forgetting.

[whattaprick]

What do you mean, snow?

[ Someone sounds cranky. Waking up cold will do that to you, but things aren't so bad on the Alola side of things right now. ]

[spaghettimonster]

Ummm.

[It seemed straight-forward, which means there might be another cultural divide here.]

I don't have a dictionary on me, but... Snow is, you could say, frozen water flakes? Tiny ones, that accumulate in piles!

[whattaprick]

I know what snow is. I mean where is it? I'm not seeing any here.

[ Tell him where the snow is so he can avoid the shit out of it. ]

[spaghettimonster]

Ohhh! One moment.

[There's scuffling, and the sound of a door opening and closing.]

It's all in the great outdoors. Mostly on the ground, and trees, and trailer tops. Also, the sky.

[whattaprick]

Why the hell is there snow in the Carnival?

[ GROSS. Does their trailer even have any way to get warm or is he going to have to set something on fire. ]

Let me know when it's gone.

[atouts]

[ He's still out checking out Alola, but— ]

Snow? Hm. It is somewhat colder out in the islands this morning, but no, no snow.

[spaghettimonster]

Then all the snow is in the carnival! Good to know.

[atouts]

But why? Seems a little strange, doesn't it? For the Ringmaster to bring the place to a tropical island and then make it snow...

[spaghettimonster]

Snow, wet, and lava... Seems natural to me.

[atouts]

Lava? Lava isn't really something I'd list alongside snow.

[destiny_key]

Really? Are you from somewhere cold?

'Cause I was feeling more homesick yesterday, when it was sunny.

[spaghettimonster]

Yeah, my brother and I lived in Snowdin for years. It's very accurately named.

But you're from a surface world! Is it sunny all the time, or does it cycle bright day and dark night?

[destiny_key]

It's a cycle, just like the carnival. At least, on my homeworld it is. Sometimes other places just stick to one or the other.

Just, I'm from an island, like the one we're visiting now.

[spaghettimonster]

Oho. With beaches and surfing and all?

[destiny_key]

Yep! Although my islands were smaller than these ones. It was more... one big island with a bunch of little ones, rather than a bunch of medium sized ones.
