[Super uncomfortable and how, just ask him about that dream. (Do not ask him about the dream).]

THANKS! I'M HOPING THE SAME!!!
THEY TALKED LIKE IT'S DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, AND THEY SOUNDED PRETTY CONFIDENT...
ESPECIALLY SINCE MY BROTHER'S HERE FOR COMPARISON.
AND HE HAS THE MAGIC.
TALK ABOUT INJUSTICE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ENCOURAGE HIM TO DO COOL THINGS WITH IT FOR ME.

did you guys arrive at the same time?

what kind of cool things?
they don't have magic where i'm from so
not really sure what the options are

EH, JUST ABOUT.
I FOUND HIM A LITTLE WHILE AFTER I STUMBLED OUT OF THAT MIRROR ROOM...
OR MAYBE HE FOUND ME, IT'S A LITTLE FUZZY.

[That first hour or so was when he first saw the stars, after all. And then that pulling drew them to the room with the chairs and the meeting and all the summaries of what had happened. It was a busy night for a skeleton's memory.]

AND, LOADS OF THINGS!
I WOULD SHOW YOU MINE, BUT, THAT'S OUT.
SO IMAGINE IMPRESSIVE ARRAYS OF BONES, BOBBING AND WEAVING THROUGH THE AIR, WAVE AFTER WAVE...
ARRANGED SO PRECISELY THAT I SPELL OUT WORDS LIKE IT'S NOTHING.
AND MAGIC HERE SEEMS EVEN MORE VERSATILE THAN WHERE I'M FROM.
THE SAME PERSON MIGHT MAKE FIREWORKS, GROW FLOWERS, AND CARVE ICE SCULPTURES...
IMAGINE THE COOL SELF PORTRAITURE THEY COULD WRIT LARGE UPON THE WORLD.
I BET THE BRIGHT WALL WOULD BE IMPROVED BY A BRIGHT SMILING FACE OF A SKELETON WHO BELIEVES IN THEM.

showing up here was pretty disorienting for me, too

[ but radiation sickness will do that ]

so your magic all involves bones? your own bones?

i mean you could also just paint it

THE IMPORTANT THING IS, WE'RE ALL IMPROVING NOW.

[Aside from the part where they maybe are growing claws and fur and scales and such. Though, maybe some call that an improvement.]

BUT, OH MY GOD, NO,
THEY'RE NOT -MY- BONES. EW.
THEY'RE JUST BONES I MADE BECAUSE MAKING BONES WAS WAY EASIER THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
WHEN WE MEET UP, I CAN SHOW YOU SOME!
I HAD A FEW TUCKED AWAY FOR A RAINY DAY, AND THEY HAVEN'T DISPERSED YET.

i mean if they were your bones i'd think it would hurt but some people are into that

that would be awesome, though

i can. show you my claws?

OH MY GOD, PLEASE DON'T LEAD INTO A BONER JOKE.

YOU CAN SHOW MY YOUR CLAWS...
TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE INDUSTRIAL NAIL CLIPPERS ARE CLIPPING AS INTENDED.

IF THEY DON'T WORK, I'LL NEED TO DOUBLEDOWN THAT SEARCH!

oh, i hadn't even thought of that

well then once you find some, we'll do some show-and-tell

OH. THEN, I'M SORRY FOR ASSUMING!
I'VE JUST HEARD THEM ALL, SO MANY TIMES.

IT'S A PLAN! I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I FIND SOME.

i mean that makes sense
it probably gets pretty old

i'll wait to hear from you

YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

[He grew up with Sans, who goes for the easiest, most obnoxious skeleton puns imaginable - and seemingly for the sake of riling Papyrus. Boner jokes aren't common with him, but there were times during his teenage years...]

well if i ever make one, feel free to groan loudly

OH, BELIEVE ME,
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN PROMISE MORE.
