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.]

Yeah, they're really--[except it's then that Hermann manages to put enough force behind his shoving to topple Newt off his lap. Aaaaaand down he goes onto the floor with a squawk, interrupting whatever he was going to say]

[verinumeri]

[ Given Newton's resistance, it isn't as though there is a total vacuum, nothing to stop his momentum. Not at first. Newton does hit the floor, however, and Hermann had been pushing with everything, so while it may not be total, there's still plenty of momentum left, and he's already at an odd angle.

In short, yes, exactly the worst and most ridiculous outcome: he thrusts himself off the couch, and has no room to stagger and right himself while half-bent and with Newton right there on the floor.

So he trips over Newton and falls right on him, knees first.

With the appropriate undignified sound. ]

[skelebro]

[Sans makes an absurd snort-like sound (it's best not to ruminate over how skeletons are capable of such noises without tongues or noses or anything of the sort, it just is) at the outrageous lax of musculodexterity exercised by the both of them.]

Should I make a joke about dominoes here, or should I let it...[oh no here it comes]...slide?

[fortunefavored]

[ow. Newt yelps as Hermann goes down on top of him, knees first. Which sucks because Hermann has really bony knees. For a minute he just is going to groan, even WITH San's joke, because he is in paaaain]

Owwwwww fuck. [hold on, that's about the extent of what he can manage right now]

[verinumeri]

[ Though Newton's still severely under his normal weight, he makes for a softer landing than the floor. Hermann's groan is thus entirely for the pun. Without any measure of consideration for Newton, he shoves against Newton's chest, to try to push off and get himself to his feet.

While grunting, ]

You deserved it. It was your fault. If you'd gotten off me to begin with, it wouldn't have happened!

[skelebro]

[Sans snickers. He is so glad he's living with these doofuses.]

Oh, fuck-rying out loud, Newt.

[fortunefavored]

[Newt's shoving at Hermann, even as he gets up] It was not my fault, oh ye of bony knees! [he pauses, though he can't see Sans] No offense, Sans!

[is that offensive to skeletons? well, better safe than sorry]

[verinumeri]

[ Don't shove at the unstable man just getting to his feet! Only pinwheeling arms and a frantic, leaning grab for the couch keeps him upright. ]

It was too your fault!

[ Ignoring that 'no offense', because it was stupid. ]

[skelebro]

None taken. Sometimes you just kneed a real good pun, you know?

[Sans just watches the spectacle with amusement. Kind of wishes he could get some popcorn.]

[fortunefavored]

Nuh-uh! You were--[except Sans throws out that pun, and whatever Newt was going to say dissolves into cackling laughter]

[verinumeri]

[ Right. It's still happening, but at least Newton's on the ground and Hermann's upright. He grabs his cane and bolts for the stairs. ]

[skelebro]

[Sans doesn't say anything else, but he doesn't think he has to. He's already lost 50% of his audience, and the remaining 50% is absolutely losing his shit over this pun-off right now.

So a job well done, Newt et al. A job well done.]
