Mailbox - Day 16

[spaghettimonster]

[Left in Frisk's mailbox is a painted card. The card smells of pine needles, snow and a fireplace, and features Papyrus, waving enthusiastically ahead. Somehow there's boneprint snowflakes faintly falling against the pale background. Along the header and footer, the card reads:]

HAPPY GYFTMAS
(ON THE MOON)
FROM PAPYRUS!!!

[Inside, a personal message continues:]

HI HUMAN!
THAT IS TO SAY, HI FRISK!
I WENT SO LONG WITHOUT KNOWING YOUR NAME... THAT I TEND TO THINK OF 'HUMAN' AS YOUR NAME.
SO NOW YOU HAVE TWO NAMES!
THAT'S TWICE AS GOOD.
I WISH I HAD TWO NAMES TOO.
I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT YOU A GIFT, IN APPRECIATION OF YOUR COMING, BUT...
I'M BROKE!
GIFT-BUYING IS A REALLY EXPENSIVE VENTURE.
SO I'LL HAVE TO GIVE YOU THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP.
WHICH... YOU ALREADY HAVE!
SO COME BY SOMETIME, I'LL SHOW YOU SOME EMBARRASSING PICTURES OF BABYBONES.
SOME OF SANS, BUT MOSTLY OF ME.
I WAS SUCH A CUTE BABY THAT THE CUTENESS VASTLY OVERPOWERS THE EMBARRASSMENT.

[Papyrus, you're an adorable skeleton and never let anyone tell you otherwise. And he's going to make Frisk's heart melt. For many reasons.

Frisk also has access to a craft set thanks to the market, so once they find his cabin, there's a card inside the mailbox. It's just a simple drawing of a child in a stripped sweater and Papyrus himself hugging. There's a message on the back.]

Hi Papyrus.

Thanks for the card, it's really nice. And your friendship is the best gift ever :D Maybe we could find a second name for you too!

I'd like to come by to see those pictures. I bet you were a really cute babybones that grew up into a hot skeleton.

[This human! Honestly! How do they have such smooth moves... when they're so definitely a child still? Incredible! It's frightening to imagine what their Dating Power will be like when they're an adult. Truly, their dance cards will be full at all the balls.

That card's going on the trailer fridge with the other drawing cards.]

FRISK,
YOU'RE NOT WRONG!! ABOUT ANY OF THAT!
I'M SURE WE COULD FIND A SECOND NAME, IF WE REALLY SEARCH...
BUT! THAT CAN WAIT!
ADMIRING WHAT A GREAT BABYBONES I WAS COMES FIRST.
OR MAYBE SECOND, AFTER FRIENDSHIP.
SO, MY DOOR IS METAPHORICALLY OPEN.
NOT LITERALLY, AS LONG AS WE'RE ON THE MOON, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT SNOW EVERYWHERE.
BUT YOU CAN COME BY PRETTY MUCH WHENEVER. JUST CALL AHEAD!

[A combination of reading books and listening to things. And Papyrus's new message is going in their scrapbook along with his first one.]

We can say cute pictures and friendship go hand in hand. I'll tell both you and Sans if I'm coming over.

- Frisk

[Which! May not be all that fun considering the very, very...."awkward" conversation Frisk had with Sans when they first arrived. But they're trying and avoiding the other skeleton like the plague won't help.

Unless he says so. But that can come later. Cute baby skeleton pictures first.]

[spaghettimonster]

[That must be the secret to why Papyrus' flirtations were nearly as potent; he reads and listens to plenty.

An excellent listener... but not quite an excellent rememberer. After the intense dramatics surrounding Flowey's appearance, Papyrus had nearly managed to forget that things were tense between his brother and Frisk. So that makes this invitation a little bit awkward.]

GOOD IDEA!!!
DO THAT TOO. IT'LL GIVE US TIME TO PREPARE!
I'LL MAKE SNACKS.

- PAPYRUS

[Whenever they get together for pictures and friendship, admiring what an adorable skeleton Papyrus was (and surely still is, even if 'adorable' has switched into at least an equal degree of 'handsome'), they'll get shown pictures like this:



Surely enough to make any mild uncomforts to the visit worthwhile. And fortunately, if the picture-viewing visit gets too bad, they can always take it over to the trailers instead. One of the many bright sides to separate rooming.

That, and a sock-free home.

[They're asking for copies.

But hopefully things go okay the day the picture viewing happens.]
