Sans is a horrid little shit (The Papyrus Calls)

Summary:

You boot up your computer and summon that Sans ghost thing to your desktop. He appears startled and flinches when he sees you, but immediately regains his mask-like grin. His greeting is interrupted by an ill-timed phone call.

Transcript/re-enactment of the first Papyrus phone call event from the Multiverse Sans Ukagaka ghost, classic Sans flavor. Actual dialogue will vary.

Notes:

This story uses the Undertale workskin to display the character's speaking fonts, though it may not work in some browsers.

Dialogue in lowercase is Sans speaking, all caps is Papyrus, and parenthesis are narration.

Chapter Text

* hey USER, howzit going today?

* (Ring, ring...)

* !!

* sorry pal, one sec...

* (Sans picks up the phone.)

* (He holds it at arm’s length.)

* (You're curious, but try not to eavesdrop, until Sans beckons you with a shit-eating grin.) 

 

* (He taps the phone.)

* (Speakerphone activates. It’s loud.)

(Music: Nyeh Heh Heh!!)

--AND YET AGAIN YOU WERE NOT THERE AT YOUR STATION, BROTHER!

* well didja see updog there at least?

UPDOG?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SANS.

* i mean updog. i left it at my station.

SANS WHAT IS UPDOG?

...

* (Sans is cackling madly.)

SAAAAAAAAAANS!

DO NOT CHANGE THE SUBJECT. YOU ARE ALSO NOT FUNNY.

* aww. but guess what bro. i got a new job!

OH WOWIE!! REALLY??? BROTHER, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. 

* aw gee, paps..

* yeah.. it's pretty much my dream career. my equivalent of the royal guard.

(Music: Bonetrousle)

OH MY GOD!! REALLY?!? I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO TAKE INITIATIVE LIKE THAT. THOUGH, IT IS ONLY LOGICAL THAT THE BROTHER OF THE GREAT PAPYRUS WOULD ACHIEVE HIS LIFELONG DREAM.

(Sans has fallen asleep.)

AFTER ALL, ONE CANNOT BASK IN MY BRILLIANT EXCELLENCE WITHOUT ONE DAY ALSO RADIATING MY GREATNESS AND ENTHUSIASM TO FOLLOW YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS!!!

NYEH HEH HEH HEH!!

(Sans startles awake.)

* heh, guess you're right, pap.

* it's uh, a computer desk job. real classy.

I'M SO HAPPY YOU'VE MOVED ON FROM DOING LITERALLY NOTHING ALL THE TIME.

* uh-huh. it's great, paps. my boss USER is really sweet but still really cool.

* not as cool as you though, bro.

BUT OF COURSE, SANS.

* yeah, it's a top-tier desk job. ya could even say it's a desk top career.

WAIT. WHAT ARE YOUR NEW JOB DUTIES, BROTHER?

* well, for the most part i just sit here on USER's computer desk.

...

* occasionally i might take out the trash or write up reports, but for the most part i just stand around and look cute so USER's entertained.

I CERTAINLY RELATE TO THE FIRST AND LATTER DUTIES!!

(Music: silence)

* cuz after all, i always dreamt of getting paid for my special ability of

doing literally nothing.

(Music: Dogsong)

...

* ain't it great, paps?

SAAAAAAAAAAANS!!!

OH!! MY!! GOD!!! SANS NO!!

* sans yes.

BEING A PAPERWEIGHT IS NOT A VALID FORM OF EMPLOYMENT!!!

* not with that attitude.

YOUR PET ROCK IS MORE SUITED TO THAT CAREER FIELD!! AND YOU DON'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF THAT!

OH. MY. GOD. I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU. HOW COULD YOU JAPE THE GREAT PAPYRUS?!??

* with a phony job description, apparently.

DON'T YOU START WITH THE PUNS NOW!!!

* been punning the whole time,

DON'T YOU DARE.

ya just didn't have proper con text .

BROTHER, YOU ARE THE WORST!!

* sorry bro. i know it might take you a file to get over it.

OH MY GOD SANS, DO YOU EVER STOP???

* not while i'm on the clock.

REALLY SANS?? ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME YOU'RE WORKING RIGHT NOW?

* honestly can't decide if i'm workin' hard or hardly workin'.

OHMYGOD??

(Music: silence)

Bonus:
(Music: The Choice)

* (The next time he speaks, he presents you with some choices.
* so what'd you think of that little performance, huh?
> Teasing him about the Royal Guard was kinda mean.
> Who was that?
> Haha! only crosswords could make him crosser.
> So, is Papyrus single?

(A/N edit: If anyone comments a response option of the "Bonus" above I'll post the dialogue associated with that choice for chapter 2. Democratic vote if more than one option is chosen by the time I put it up.)
