THIRD SONG ♫ VIDEO

[hasitsthorns]

Hellllooooo Hadriel!

[ So. Someone's cheery. One wouldn't think so what with the cave being restored to its 'former glory.' ]

Sure is a bummer that Tranquility's good times ended, huh? [ Understatement of the year. ] Fret not, however, for I have taken it upon myself to plan for Love's inevitable - and fashionably late - arrival!

[ Do you have a bad feeling yet? You should. ]

How, you ask? Well! Easy. I've started charting out the ships down here in the cave. What's a 'ship,' you ask? A ship is short for 'relationship'! This can be any kind, really, but the actual fun is in ones of the romantic sort. [ An oh so innocent bat of her eyelashes. ]

There's a couple obvious ones, there's those who have loved and lost, there's the hopeful buddings of new relationships, and of course we're always wondering who are deities are into.

[ No? Just her? Alright then. ]

You can find the list I've started attached and, please, add to it as you see fit! I'll make the changes accordingly. I'll even try to keep it up to date, so! If any changes happen after the fact - break-ups, make-ups, or unfortunate farewells - feel free to hit me up personally and let me know. This way, Love can be up to speed upon arrival.

Oh, right, of course. I should also mention that I've enabled the anonymous feature for responses, so! If you're shy or don't wanna compromise friendships by outing the couples you do know, don't worry. Or if you just wanna stir up some gossip and speculation, don't worry! Your secret's safe with me.

[ WINK. All's fair in love and war, yaddah yaddah. ]

(( ooc; So! HAVE AT IT, MURDERCAVE. FEEL THE LOVE. I'll be updating the post as I get suggestions and eventually porting it to Rose's personal journal for future reference. C'mon, ya'll, let's make Love feel welcome for when they arrive. ))

As if they haven't already. But I believe I am up to the challenge.

[They're going to lose. Frisk's * Flirt game is too strong.]

[skelebro]

i'm a little afraid of how that's gonna go.
that's a determination surplus if i've ever heard of one.

[somuchlove]

[...nope! Think of a better joke.]

It will be a * Flirt singularity.

Perhaps we will be able to resurrect Love without wait.

[Doubtful, but it'd be hilarious.]

[skelebro]

[There's a LOVE joke lurking in there, but he don't take the bait. Why spoil the mood?]

honestly, with frisk flirting up the dragons, i'm not sure why we've had to wait this long to begin with.

[somuchlove]

[Chara really isn't surprised their Partner flirted with the dragons.

But yeah, they're not taking the bait either. "Oh they were probably just waiting for me to show up." was probably a step in killing the mood and there was only so much self-sabotage you could do.]

Perhaps instead of a competition my Partner and I should join forces. And maybe Papyrus.

[Cooking awful spaghetti is a form of love, right?]

[skelebro]

do i wanna know why you wanna recruit papyrus?

[Does he? Does he really wanna know?]

[somuchlove]

Cooking things for others is a sign of love, yes?

Although he could wind up breaking people's hearts too. He broke my Partner's after all.

[In as much as Papyrus could break hearts anyway. Chara knows it wasn't deliberate but it's still funny.]

[skelebro]

good god, kid.
does platonic affection mean nothing to anyone

[He's impressed despite himself at how far Chara's willing to take the joke. And he kinda believes that they'd commit to it too.]

[somuchlove]

[They're tempted to. But...Chara isn't exactly an angel of love --- the romantic kind, anyway.]

By the existence of this post I have to call it into question.

But it's a good laugh regardless.

[And it's something everyone needs, right? Good food, good friends and good/bad laughs. Chara has their Partner and their Best Friend, soup and the laughter generated by all of this.

They...actually feel really happy. Smiling. And it feels really good.

:) ]

[skelebro]

[Can't say a there's a thing or two about how nice it is that he can makes jokes like this to a kid who he might not've ever figured he could look in the eye, let alone rib companionably.]

you telling me i've graduated from bad laughs to good ones?
i'm moving up in the world.

[somuchlove]

[It is interesting, to be able to joke with the skeleton who's brother they killed, who killed them countless times and they killed in return.

Perhaps things wouldn't degrade. It might...stay like this.]
[They would be happy if things stayed like this.]

It was bound to happen at some point. After countless bad jokes, a good one would surface.

[skelebro]

i mean, hey, you gotta point.
at this point it's just statistical probability, right?

[somuchlove]

You know what they say:

A broken clock is right at least once a day.

[Chara means it in the nicest was possible.]

So perhaps there is hope for more good jokes.

[skelebro]

i wouldn't hold your breath.
for one, i don't even have lungs.

[somuchlove]

Do not worry. I have no plans on waiting until I'm blue in the face.

Consistent good jokes would likely take my breath away.

[They'd say they would 'drop dead' but....bad joke. There's a line between a bad joke and a bad joke. Morbid ones are fine, but no need to bring that in here.]

[skelebro]

[They're making blue jokes. God help them all.]

you kidding me?
they're a breeze.

[somuchlove]

One might think I'd float away from hearing some good jokes, but sadly I would crash back to earth.

Hopefully it doesn't take the wind out of your sails Sans.

[They lived with Toriel. Her sense of humor rubbed off on them, with a dash of something dark.]

[skelebro]

are you trying to break my streak of bad jokes here, kid?
or are you just breaking wind?

[Ah, yes. It all comes full circle.]

[somuchlove]

[OH MY GOD SANS PLEASE.]

I would say the sky is the limit here.

But we just hit rock bottom.

I did sigh so you succeeded in taking the breath out of me. Congratulations.

[skelebro]

[WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING]

nailed it.
you say we've hit rock bottom, but i brought a pick axe and i'm ready to dig.

[somuchlove]

[MAYBE A MINISCULE AMOUNT OF CLASS???]

Are we going to hit gold that turns out to be rock if we continue?

Because I will need a bigger payout if that is the case.

[skelebro]

[Wrong. False. This is Sans the motherfucking skeleton, he has no style and he has no grace. You may even say he has a funny face.]

more likely we'll hit bedrock.
which is fine by me.
i've been meaning to catch a nap.

[somuchlove]

[You never know! It might happen one day.

And they could get a pony and cease to exist too.]

I would happy to bury you so you can take a dirt nap.

Papyrus will likely turn this place upside-down to find you, however.

[Which would be pretty funny in its own way, however.]

[skelebro]

papyrus did bury the couch once.
he'd probably just assume i followed it.

[Prank wars will rearrange your entire living arrangement, it turns out.]

[somuchlove]

[Okay Alphys didn't mention that.]

They do say "Go big or go home".

Was this due to your prank war or was Papyrus trying to send you a message?
