Video| In all my dreams, it's never quite as it seems

[ushahin]

[When the video opens up, Ushahin is lying once again inside his bathtub. It's about five o' clock in the morning, so at least he's only waking up the resident of Hadriel up at the crack of dawn instead of the middle of the night this time. He's considerate that way.]

Does anyone else hear it? The music? It's so lovely.

[There is, of course, no music. What he's hearing is the tune he's caught from passing through someone's mind while they sleep. It's had quite the effect on him.]

Music makes everything quiet inside.

[He starts humming to himself, tapping his fingers to keep rhythm. If that tune sounds somewhat familiar, well, it might have been your mind he was tapping into.]

Comments

[ushahin]

But that is far too easy. And people have the habit of not telling the truth.

[Just because his opinion of Sans has changed somewhat during this conversation doesn't mean it extends to the other inhabitants of Hadriel.]

[skelebro]

You'll never know unless you give it a shot.

[He's eased up on the acute judgment for now, but that doesn't mean he's giving his blessing to Ushahin invading people's heads at will. The fact that he can't turn it off is one thing, but abusing the power is quite another. And what's that Sans likes to say about people having special powers?

Isn't it your responsibility to do the right thing?]

[ushahin]

I'll take your word for it.

[Ushahin has the ability to be better than he actually is. Alas, he rarely pushes himself to actually do so. It's much easier to just assume the worst about everyone and act accordingly. It keeps him from getting hurt.]

[skelebro]

Well, you know what they say. Learn by doing.

[Which is real fresh coming from a guy who excels at and rearranges his entire schedule to accommodate doing absolutely nothing. But at least he's aware of the fact, so.]

[ushahin]

Is that where you learned the fine skill of napping? By watching others?

[Sorry, Sans. From what he's seen thus far, his main skill appears to be falling asleep wherever he can find six square feet to lie down in.]

[skelebro]

'Course not. I was born to sleep.

[That could very easily be a throwaway joke. That could just as easily hold some deeper meaning. Sans is the only one who might be able to clarify, and he ain't talking.]

[ushahin]

Of that, I have no doubt.

[A lazy skeleton. Who would have thought that there was a time in his existence where this would just become another part of everyday life for him?]

[skelebro]

[Sans would answer with something dry and lazily hilarious, but he's also quickly coming to the realization that, in this case, his sleepiness isn't just for show. Then again, it never is.

In a matter of seconds, he's asleep for real.]
