What do you think is the cause of feeling... Restless?

Getting less rest.

[It's a rule that skeletons jump into radio conversations to offer wordplay. Or, if it isn't a rule, it should be.]

[mylastchance]

[If he meant it as a joke it went over his head.]

What makes you say that?

[spaghettimonster]

[That's fine by him. The best jokes are the ones that don't interrupt the flow of conversation, anyway.]

It's simple!

People who rest too much don't do anything. People who don't rest enough occasionally light houses on fire.

[mylastchance]

So to be less restless I need more rest?

[spaghettimonster]

I'm sure of it. You can't be restless if you get rest.

[mylastchance]

....Is this a pun?

[spaghettimonster]

[Loud laughter NYEH HEH HEHs over the radio in lieu of confirmation.]

[mylastchance]

[Well now he feels like an idiot.]

Do you have a real answer?

[spaghettimonster]

[Would an idiot bring such genuine cheer to the lives of people around him?]

Heh heh... yes, I do. It's like the others said! Restlessness is boredom. And boredom is not knowing what to do with yourself!

If you don't know what to do with yourself, your days filling with discontent, there's only one solution. Something to work towards! What you need is a goal.

[mylastchance]

I have a goal.

[He just... Doesn't know how to reach it.]

[spaghettimonster]

Oho! Then you're halfway there. The other half is working towards it. Like... figuring out who could help you to it! And standing outside their front doors, until they help you!

[Swept away in his certainty and memories, Papyrus sighs wistfully.]

A goal you don't work towards is just a dream...

[mylastchance]

How am I supposed to figure that out?

[spaghettimonster]

I usually talk to my brother.

He annoys me with bad ideas, until I see something that I can do!

[mylastchance]

When I ignore Susan's bad ideas he just throws a tantrum

[wild_magic]

I don't throw tantrums!

[mylastchance]

You do too.

[wild_magic]

Do not.

[spaghettimonster]

[Ah, the prelude to tantrum.]

[mylastchance]

What do you call what you're doing right now?

[wild_magic]

I call it telling you that I don't throw tantrums.

[mylastchance]

You're such a baby sometimes.

[wild_magic]

I'm not a baby!!

[mylastchance]

[YOU CAN'T HEAR HIS TREMENDOUS EYEROLL OVER THE RADIO, BUT IT IS HAPPENING.]

Okay. You're not a baby.

[wild_magic]

You're just saying that.

[mylastchance]

[SIGH]

What else am I supposed to do?
