[CONTINUE + 4] Week 1 || Act: mingle

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town once more, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, though now there's far, far less of them.

Is time running out for the mission? How many more loops do you have?

...You feel as if something is watching you when you're not looking.

Did... you change your-? Nevermind.

It's possible... we can't be sure.

[bybonesbebybones]

OH, I TURNED OFF MY FONT. IT'S EASIER TO TALK LIKE THIS, AND I JUST KIND OF DON'T LIKE HOW MY VOICE SOUNDS WHEN I'M USING IT.

I'M STILL AN UPPERCASER, THOUGH!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Your... font?

[bybonesbebybones]

MY FONT!

[He switches back.]

I GUESS IT'S MORE LIKE A METHOD OF SPEECH FOR OTHER MONSTERS. IT'S NATURAL TO US. YOU'VE HEARD SANS BEFORE, RIGHT? HE'S ALWAYS USING ONE OF HIS FONTS.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I see.

[She... vaguely sees.]

I actually have known a few people who had two different ways of speaking. Maybe that was something similar.

[Karen is one hundred percent certain that it wasn't and she would be very distressed to learn otherwise.]

[dereban]

[!!!]

... Did you say 'uppercaser'?

You don't happen to have uppercase-related abilities, do you?

[bybonesbebybones]

HUH? NO, I DON'T THINK SO. 'UPPERCASER' MEANS HOW LOUD I AM. LIKE WRITING IN ALL CAPS!

[dereban]

... Ah, unfortunate.

[She sounds a little disappointed but soon shrugs it off.]

I could never do something like that myself, even if I had the ability to. Although if I were to use a font, I'd surmise that I'd be either Ishii Futo Gothic Type, maybe? Or Wild Words.

[bybonesbebybones]

AH! I REMEMBER BOTH OF THOSE! THEY WERE VERY NICE MONSTERS.

[Papyrus smiles.]

FUTO USED TO HELP ME WITH MY ATTACK PATTERNS, AND WILD WORDS WOULD READ TO ME! OF COURSE, THAT WAS BACK WHEN I WAS IN STRIPES.

[dereban]

[As they say, curiosity killed the cat, so--]

Do you remember what kinds of stories you were told?

[bybonesbebybones]

OH, IT WAS JUST THE NORMAL THINGS! STORIES FOR BABYBONES, FANTASY TALES....IT WAS ALL PRETTY NICE.

[...he pauses.]

...WAIT....WAS IT REALLY WILD WORDS WHO READ TO ME? ....I FEEL LIKE IT HAS TO BE, BUT....HRMMMM....AM I FORGETTING SOMEONE...?

[dereban]

[Uh oh.

This is leading down a dangerous path. Best not to push too much.]

It's... quite possible.

But memory tends to be a fickle thing, even more so if you've lived a long time.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Ah, a bit like projecting your voice or putting on an accent.

[He has to try....]

So if I shift my - font just so...

[bybonesbebybones]

WOWEE!!! I'VE NEVER MET A MONSTER WHO COULD CHANGE THEIR FONT BESIDES OTHER FONT SKELETONS!! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Ah, his curiosity might get them into trouble...]

We-well, I tend to do be the one to find things on the surface, so I have to learn to be adaptable, including changing how I sound, I can only do it in short bursts.

[bybonesbebybones]

THAT'S SO COOOOOOOL!!!

[Papyrus sparkle-eyes at you like an anime.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

Ah... Thank you. It's part of being a dog - making sure to take care of others.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...what are you doing?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Well, I had to see if I can do it.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Right, of course.

[Her head hurts.]
