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!

Comments

[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?

[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]

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

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

[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.

[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]

If anyone knows, they haven't fessed up...

[Maybe this radio chatter will guilt them into a confession.]

If it goes away, I'll let you know! Don't get your hopes up, my experience with snow... is that it sticks around.

[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.

[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.

[walkonedge]

[ he's also confused. this is what you call communication problems. ]

Ah, no, no, it's okay! I meant that there was one summer where it suddenly snowed back in Japan and I was pretty sure that was a one time thing......

It doesn't seem like it is now.

[whattaprick]

If it wasn't the Ringmaster herself ...

[ But he trails off at that, something occurring to him. ]

Ah, shit.

[spaghettimonster]

Lambert...

Did you leave a mysterious snowfall generator running?

that icon and this tag anskdkf

[whattaprick]

Why would I even have one of those?

No, I just remembered something.

pros of paids: accurate icons for all kinds of tones of voice, even shitposty ones

[spaghettimonster]

Who knows, those sorts of things just come up sometimes.

But you raise a good point! It could be the Ringmaster. She doesn't always announce things.

[Key point: Surprise, you're all underwater now.]

[spaghettimonster]

Ohhh. There isn't any snow where you're from. But one summer, there was?

[He's reached a glimmer of being closer, but there's still a lot of confusion to go around..]

[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...
