[ 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: ]

[spaghettimonster]

Yes! There's still plenty of sand.

[kingsroads]

Wonderful! In that case, I'd like to request horses.

[ it's said in a tone that pretty much says horses made out of sand is somehow an inside joke for Strange. ]

[spaghettimonster]

[That joking tone... It's worrying.]

What... kind of horses? Horse horses, or... muscular seahorses?

[kingsroads]

Oh no, horse horses! I want to compare how ours look!

[spaghettimonster]

I think I could make a statue of that guy who was always hanging out in Grillby's...

[kingsroads]

Is he a horse?

[ because what the hell is a Grillby's ]

[spaghettimonster]

Of course, why else would I mention him!

I think he was the only horse in town... Most people were furrier. The dogs, and the rabbit lady, and all.

[kingsroads]

The more you talk about your town, the more it sounds like the Carnival!

[spaghettimonster]

Really?? But we had puzzles, not games!

[kingsroads]

Well yes, but rabbit ladies? That certainly sounds Carnival-ish!

[spaghettimonster]

I don't understand how... But if you say so.

[What do you mean, most people don't live a few houses down from anthromorphic rabbits?]

[kingsroads]

My world doesn't have any sort of animal people, talking skeletons, talking horses, and so on and so forth.

[spaghettimonster]

None at all?? What sorts of people does your world have?

[kingsroads]

I'm afraid we're all rather human-looking—with the possible exception of faeries, of course, but I haven't met enough of them to judge.

[spaghettimonster]

That seems so... peculiar! And so difficult to tell people apart.

[kingsroads]

We mostly use names to tell each other apart. Tell me, are you from one of those worlds that uses last names as well?

[spaghettimonster]

Are there worlds that don't?? [What a concept.]

But most people don't use them all the time. They're... mostly for official stuff.

[kingsroads]

Psionic's doesn't! At least, I'm fairly certain it doesn't, the poor man seemed a bit confused as to why so many people on my world were named 'John.'

[spaghettimonster]

Even being from a world with last names... I understand his confusion!

John is a very boring name.

[kingsroads]

...my name's John.

[ well technically it's Jonathan BUT STILL COUNTS. ]

[spaghettimonster]

Oh my god! You carry a terrible burden.

[kingsroads]

[ the longer they have this conversation the more Strange finds himself just downright charmed by Papyrus, what the heck dude, how can a skeleton be this endearing. ]

I suppose my last name more than makes up for it. Not that many people in my world are called 'Strange.'

[spaghettimonster]

How strange! [He snickers, then muffles the sound by covering his mouth for a second.]

But you're right. That must be why you're so well-adjusted, for your name.

[kingsroads]

[ Strange just laughs like Papyrus told a joke only he finds funny because "well-adjusted". Ha. ]

I think well-adjusted might be a bit too generous! Still, I won't refuse a compliment.
