video; we had a riel good time

[skelebro]

[There's a skeleton on the network. He seems pretty unperturbed about his state of being, actually, and in fact looks rather cheerful, all things considered. He's got the camera lodged or propped up somewhere, because he's not carrying it. That would evidently require too much work. No, Sans has his bony hands shoved in his jacket pockets, addressing a point of space slightly to the left of his device.]

So that was pretty fun, huh? Not actually the weirdest thing that's ever happened me, believe it or not. I bet all that fog sure won't be...mist.

[He chuckles, and the lights in his eyesockets focus on the screen.]

Anyway. I've been around the block a few times, but I just figured I'd ask. Anyone seen another skeleton around? Tall, loud, likes saying "nyeh heh heh"? He's like me, but the opposite in every conceivable way.

Let me know.

[And the feed goes dark.]

[Near has seen things at least as strange as a talking skeleton before, so he doesn't even bat an eye. And even if he had, it would not have been seen, since he's communicating through voice only. And his voice lacks any inflection.]

Like you, but opposite in every conceivable way is a contradiction.

What? C'mon, it's true. Soon as you see him, you'll know.

[No reaction. Ah, well, people come from all sorts here. Including his brother. He hasn't relinquished that hope that he might get a Papyrus from a different time. Might not be "his" Papyrus, but that's getting off on a technicality. He doesn't trifle with those.]

[Really, the first time Near ever saw a creepy-looking creature, he smiled, so he isn't actually a good barometer for this sort of thing. (Seeing the creepy creature was a sign of victory, okay.)

[As for the pun . . . well, those have to be clever for him to appreciate them.] If he is opposite in every conceivable way, then he's not like you at all.

[He might just be being pedantic.]

I mean, sure, if you wanna get down to the nitty-gritty with it.

Then it's an unhelpful descriptor. And an extraneous one.

[skelebro]

If you say so.

[He's not invested enough in his so-called contradiction to argue the point.]

Just assume we're kinda opposites. He's tall, I'm short, etc.
