[PUBLIC] Day 42

[dorkypantsuit]

I'll assume no one made my obligatory bring a buddy announcement while I wasn't here, so this is that warning.


Didya miss me?

[LABOR CHANNEL]

Mandatory check-in, whether I know you or not.

If anybody's been slacking tell me and I'll work out a proper punishment.

[He snorts, and then thinks of what else he can say.]

Uh... other news...

The RM is revisiting her policy on the whole... punishing people with year-long contracts for minor infractions thing. She says she's not gunna do that anymore.

[dorkypantsuit]

[He doesn't respond immediately.]

...What?

[osteothropy]

Yeah, I was pretty surprised, too.

[dorkypantsuit]

Why?

[osteothropy]

She said it was because life around here's become too dangerous for that commitment to be fair. So, she's focusing on willing recruits now.

[dorkypantsuit]

[He has mixed feelings about it. He doesn't like forced servitude. That means this is technically good news. Still, the reason for it is kind of... At the same time he wouldn't be here if it weren't for minor infractions and forced servitude himself. His tone turns somber as he considers.]


... Do you think there's ever a 'right' answer?

[He feels like he's talked to Sans about something like this before in much worse circumstances, but his memories from those times is too painful to examine closely.]

[osteothropy]

Sometimes. Maybe not for this one.

But when it comes down to it, it sounds like she doesn't want to get people killed who she can't justify endangering. If you either asked for it in a deal or did something stupid enough to warrant it... probably takes the edge off.

[Sans's feelings towards RM have chilled out a lot by now, which helps. If anything, this ruling is shedding away his last piece of major criticism for her. It's a weird feeling.]

[dorkypantsuit]

I think it's a good decision.

I just wish things weren't... How they are now.

[osteothropy]

Can't blame ya for that.

[Sans feels 100% the same way.]

But hey. If wishes were fishes, you'd be using some pretty bad grammar.

[dorkypantsuit]

Yup.

[Long Pause.]

So, going to tell my why you got extra arms now?

[osteothropy]

Uh... I had an eggsperience.
