Voice

[ourworldnow]

[A young, cheerful voice comes over the airwaves, accompanied by the idle strumming (for now) of a guitar.]

Helllllo Santa Rosita. Louis here- just arrived and happy to be alive. Let’s skip the normal oh my god, what even bit for now. I’ve come, I’ve seen, I ate at the lunch party. Hey there, new mom and dad!

I have a much more important moral quandary for all you good people. It’s 1961, yeah? And, uh, I’m from not then. I don’t even know if my original flavor parents are alive yet. Meaning we are in prime Marty McFly problems zone.

[The idle strumming suddenly switches to (an acoustic version) of the opening notes of Smoke on the Water]

Would it be, like, totally wrong to record future hits and make a ridiculous amount of money?

[Now it’s the opening notes of Stairway to Heaven]

I’d have to stick to whatever rocks these old guys socks, I know, I know. So more like-

[He switches to Yesterday]

Oh, I believe in getting paid….

[The guitar playing stops suddenly as he laughs.]

Whadda ya think? Anyone ready to form a band? Yes? No? Get a lawyer? Give a guy some feedback.

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.

[He’s going to play through that whole song (though not sing) if no one answers. Save the good people of the town and tell him to stop.]

The problem is that then I'd have to be doing something. And we've established I'm not doing anything.

[ourworldnow]

Damn. We really are family. Guess we'll just have to make Paps do it.

[ribticklers]

He does like being supportive. But don't make him do too much. [Since Papyrus might actually do it...]

[ourworldnow]

Who am I to stand in the way of the helpful?

[ribticklers]

Getting to hang around Papyrus is a gift. You can't abuse it. You've gotta get other people to do stuff, too. Anyway, spreading it out's just good practice. [Grifting practice...?]

[ourworldnow]

Which one of you is the older brother, here?

[ribticklers]

That'd be me. [There is nothing wrong with being your little brother's hype man.]

[ourworldnow]

Ahhh. Okay, okay. I was- well, just going with the height, I guess? Didn't know I was talking to the God Father here.
