[ Now that a day's gone by with nobody trying to put a hit on the Ringmaster, it's the PERFECT time to ask his creepy questions. ]

How many of you have died before, whether on your world or at the Carnival? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I understand this might be a sore subject for some.

And if you have died, how were you brought back to life? Please try to be as detailed in your answer as possible.

[ just asked like no big deal, there's nothing weird about asking how people died in the slightest. c: ]

Really? How annoying--Childermass would have my head if I messed up his precious timeline even more.

So would one time travel back to the death to prevent it from happening?

Have you messed up his timeline before?

Or do you mean the vary fae business with which we are all familiar?

Childermass is from my future and stubbornly refuses to tell me exactly what happens then. It's all some nonsense about 'the timeline.'

[ and that right there is why Childermass isn't telling Strange anything. ]

Honestly, the timeline is probably screwed anyway. But I guess I can respect a little caution when it comes to the space-time continuum.

How I wish it was just a little caution.

Uh. Well. I guess my dealings with that kind of thing resulted in significant negative consequences, so I can vouch for that.

But I can't lie, it must have been pretty useful for the guy doing it.

What were the consequences?

Sorry, pal. That's not a first level conversation.

Not even if I ask nicely?

[ it's said in a teasing tone...but Strange can't hide the little bit of frustration in his voice. ]

[Sorry Strange. That's just how it goes with Sans.]

You stare into the void too long... eventually, it'll start staring back.

How cryptic of you. You certainly have been with the carnival for a while

Nah, I've always been this way.

In that case, I feel so sorry for those you've had to deal with back home!

Thank you! Finally, some recognition for the real challenges in my life. Nyeh heh heh!

The two of you are from the same world? Well, suddenly things make more sense.

[ look, he didn't want to ASSUME that just because you were a skeleton you knew the other skeleton, magic's weird like that. ]

[It is a nice change of pace after all the people who were surprised to hear it. Papyrus would gladly have people assume he's related to other skeletons over not. As long as they don't meet any real jerks of skeletons.]

Not just the same world, the same family! And Sans is right, he's always been this secretive and cryptic.

That must have been a challenge for the two of you growing up. [ do skeletons grow? who knows! ]

I can already tell you're the more outgoing of the two.

Such a challenge! But, you get used to it.

[Growing up... Hmm. Talking about their childhoods... Papyrus goes silent for a moment, hesitating.]

...Once, I was much less outgoing, and charming, and personable than I am now. I really... grew into myself!

Even just from our small conversation, I find that hard to believe.

[Ha ha ha, so true.]

I'll convey your condolences whenever I end up getting the chance.

Well surely you'd know when you get the chance. After all, we're aware of our contract lengths. [ pause, think, frown. ] Or is it different for supervisors?

Nah, it's the same. But... I've got some stuff I need to handle before I can go back there. Otherwise all of this would just be a huge waste of time.

I wonder if there's a chance you'd tell me what that 'stuff' is.

[ he's asking mostly b/c he's nosy as shit ]

Nah.

[Sorry, bub.]

I should have expected that. We were just talking about how cryptic you were, after all.

[ eh, no worries. he'll just bug Papyrus. ]
