[ His video is set up so he can clearly show his entire face on the network as he talks. The camera seems steady, and he is leaning forward, propping his chin on the palm of his hand as he talks. His expression seems almost annoyed, though not serious. ]

Everyone has seemed rather upset. I guess for good reasons. Mostly, at least.

[ There's the slightest pause, as if he's trying to figure out the best way to explain it. ]

But, with that, I think we need to start looking forward, and I feel like an overdue distraction might be the best way for us to take the first step.

[ He closes his eyes, and tilts his head slightly. ]

A party. Something fun where people can dress nice. Something like a masquerade, I guess. Or a formal party of sorts. I guess it would depend on what others are interested in or what the participation will be.

If I see interest, then I don't mind starting to put stuff together.

Maybe it would be a good time to make amends if you hurt anyone. We could use an unoccupied larger house.

But, I wouldn't want to do it alone, so there is also that.

[In Papyrus' opinion, too, which is part of why he's so loud about it. And everything. Often.]

All sorts of pastries. Especially the pie ones.

And bringing myself is easy! Almost too easy. I'm happy to bring myself and food.

Parties are better with food. Then nobody leaves to go get dinner... Unless they're very particular.

Pies? [ Color him impressed. He's never been much of a cook or baker on his own, though. ]

Yes, it is. I don't want anyone to feel pressured, but if you bring food, that's a bonus. People like to have food at parties. [ It tends to help with the alcohol consumption. ]

[Pies indeed, but they're less a sign of overall competence than of an early specialty. His most recent teacher pushed him towards them first, mainly so she could hassle him with pap-pie-rus puns.]

Consider my cooking offer entirely pressure-free. The cherry on top of the gift of my pressence!

Maybe I'll make cherry pie.

[ Please. He sounds amused. ]

You should.

I shall! Keep me up to date if you have any requests.

[He's maybe a little bit demanding in this offer, but full of enthusiasm for having a thing to do.]
