text @PAPYRUS - HHA Luncheon

[spaghettimonster]

I HOPE EVERYBODY'S EXCITED ABOUT THE LUNCHEON TOMORROW!!!!

WITH THE HHA GOING DOOR TO DOOR.
TELLING THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT IT...
I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG ACTIVITY.
A MUST-SEE FEBRUARY EVENT.

DOES EVERYONE HAVE SOME GOOD, CASUALLY FORMAL ATTIRE ARRANGED???

[After getting bullied into a different outfit at the Christmas Gala, he'd rather get a sense of what everyone else is planning to wear. And, while he's at it, doubly ensure that everyone has heard of the event - and caught on to the implied importance of going.]

FOR STARTERS: THEY COULD LEAVE NOTES
...
. . .
YOU KNOW WHAT.
I DON'T ACTUALLY WANT TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION,
IN CASE THE ANSWERS WOULD GET BACK TO ANYONE.

[spaghettimonster]

I AM, IT'S TRUE.

I'M ALSO GENIUS ENOUGH TO KNOW, THEY PROBABLY DON'T WANT BUNNIES IN THEIR RESTAURANT.

[Leave the slippers at home and wear real shoes, Sans.]

[ribticklers]

but they'd probably get mad if i went in just socks

[spaghettimonster]

MAYBE THERE'S SOME BROWN, BREADSTICK-LIKE SLIPPERS YOU COULD TRY.

[You know, like real shoes???]

[13thcommander]

I can assure you, chafing is not a requirement for formal wear.

Although it feels like it might be, sometimes, if you wear a tie and it's too tight.

[thotsandprayers]

The ice cream wouldn't be so bad.

[ribticklers]

i dunno if i have time to bake breadsticks big enough for my feet

[spaghettimonster]

GOOD POINT. YOU SHOULD SKIP THE BREADSTICKS.
AND STICK YOUR FEET IN LOAFERS OF BREAD.

[ribticklers]

sounds like a good choice for loafing around

[spaghettimonster]

FINALLY, WE'VE FOUND THE PERFECT SHOE FOR YOU!

BUT SERIOUSLY. WEAR REAL SHOES.

[ribticklers]

fine
but only 'cause I want those breadsticks

[Papyrus played along for a while so Sans will inform Papyrus of his plans to wear actual shoes.]

[spaghettimonster]

NO, NOT SO BAD AT ALL.
BUT IT'S A LITTLE COLD FOR THAT MUCH ICE CREAM.

[Has he mentioned that skin's sensitivity to temperature is the worst? Because it is the worst.]

MAYBE THEY'RE TURNING OTHER BLIZZARDS, INTO DELICIOUS SUGARY TREATS.

[spaghettimonster]

SO THAT'S YOUR WEAKNESS, HUH...
I PROMISE I WON'T ABUSE THIS KNOWLEDGE.

I DEFINITELY WON'T PUT A BREADSTICK ON A FISHING LINE, AND USE IT TO LURE YOU INTO CHORES.

[Technically speaking, Sans's house and all the associated chores & housework aren't even Papyrus's to deal with. It's Sans, and Lorna, and now Sayori??? But that hasn't stopped him from stopping by occasionally to say hi and wash some dishes.]

[spaghettimonster]

OH MY GOD, IT'S NOT JUST ME??

PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME, I LOOK LIKE A DELINQUENT TEENAGER.

BUT TIES ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLE! HOW DO YOU TIE THEM WITHOUT CHOKING??

[He was never a particularly formal dresser underground, so just tying a tie was a learning curve. But all the added bulk to his neck, now that he's human, isn't making the experience any easier.]

[ribticklers]

you've made a crucial mistake
it has to be endless breadsticks

[thotsandprayers]

[Admittedly she can understand it being the worst since Servants are usually a little more resistant to things. So getting used to being normal climate conditions again isn't fun.]

That would be preferable to another actual blizzard. Otherwise we'd need much warmer treats.

[13thcommander]

It's not just you.

It takes a good amount of practice. If you like, I can show you a few tricks so that it doesn't rub or chafe on your neck.

[sunborne]

[ oh no— that answer really slaps for daylight. ]

Oh wow, that’s a super cool idea! I remember there were these cookie houses in the Christmas Village. Made of something called gingerbread, apparently?

Something like that but with Uliveto's breadsticks!

[spaghettimonster]

IT MIGHT BE ENDLESS BREADSTICKS.
YOU WON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU FIND OUT.

[spaghettimonster]

OH YEAH. THEY HAD THOSE DURING CHRISTMAS, DIDN'T THEY?

[That sours the idea a little bit, if he's being honest with himself. Thankfully, he doesn't have to be honest with anyone else.]

WELL, THIS IS THE IMPROVED VERSION!
THE SAVORY VILLAGE SENSATION SWEEPING THE NATION!!!
I'M SURE THEY'D LOVE TO SEE OUR IDEAS.

[spaghettimonster]

THAT WOULD REALLY SAVE MY SKIN.

APPRECIATE IT!

[ribticklers]

you'd get fed up before i got fed enough

[feudalladyshandmaid]

...Yeah, you're right.
never know who might be listening in
and could MAYBE LET US ALL GO HOME?

[spaghettimonster]

WARMER TREATS...

[The hot chocolate and/or soup around during the frozen lake adventures had hit the spot, at a time it was sorely needed.]

HEY, THAT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD.
I'LL GRAB SOME PIE SUPPLIES ON MY WAY BACK.
AND MAKE SOME TO ENJOY, AFTER WE FIGURE OUT THE DRESSCODE.

[spaghettimonster]

MAYBE.
OR. MAYBE.
YOU'D FALL ASLEEP FIRST.

[Admittedly, Papyrus would get fed up pretty immediately after that happened. But if he stays patient just long enough, he wins. Or something.]
