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!

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.

[spaghettimonster]

That's because you forgot the wet in between.

[atouts]

So I did, but wouldn't there have to be a lot of water between the lava and the snow for that to work?

[spaghettimonster]

That's the trick of it! Lava turns snow into water.

Also these are islands, surrounded in lava. That helps.

[atouts]

That looked more like an ocean to me, actually.

[ Surrounded by lava would be a lot less fun, Papyrus... ]

[spaghettimonster]

Oh no! I meant to say water. The lava's tucked neatly away in the islands.

[Incredibly enough, one can have a slip of the tongue without even having a tongue.]

[atouts]

All right. Guess I can't argue with that. They do have enough volcanoes around for it.

[ Considering islands are formed by lava in the first place, but who needs science? ]

[spaghettimonster]

...Vulkin-Ohs?

[Certainly not skeletons from worlds where physics are sometimes optional.]

[atouts]

Volcanoes. Mountains that lava tends to come out of?

[spaghettimonster]

Oho! What do you call them if the lava doesn't come out?

[atouts]

Mountains without lava coming out of them.

[ Said deadpan. Well. It's not like that's wrong, so. Yeah. ]

[spaghettimonster]

That's fair.
