[ hello friends what's happening here

have a rhys and dumpy showing up next to the skeletons and running a hand through his hair ]

Hey, heeeey. I'm coming with you two since, uh. Reasons, I guess? Yeah.

[friendboned]

RHYS..... YES!! YOU MUST STAY CLOSE TO ME, SO I CAN PROTECT YOU. SOMEONE IS COMMITTING GHOST CRIMES.

[now, to the chapel.... with damsel in distress and brother in tow!!]

[this will be a date to die for]

[vicedirector]

[ While nothing seems off at first, the three of them will be able to hear angry voices from the inside as they walk closer. The door is also locked.

>Listen closely?
>Try to look through the stained glass windows? ]

[thebonezone]

[people who are probably too short to see through the window: sans

but he is going to EAVESDROP. he also makes a shh motion at both loudmouths with him.]

bro, look through the window.

[wow he's being... serious???]

[jackhole]

[ rhys is totally about to open his mouth to argue against that loudmouth accusation okay but also

> arguing against being a loudmouth

maybe sans has a point. rhys is going to be useful though and press the flat of his robot hand against the chapel door. what's he doing? oh, just going to try recording the conversation through the microphone in his hand so they can hear it on this side of the door.

he's real handy like that. ]

[friendboned]

[it's time for Papyrus to peek up through the window... he's being totally subtle here]

[THEY'LL NEVER SEE HIM]

[vicedirector]

[ Papyrus can see two figures--one of them all black, their back to the window. The other is taller and in white, and presumably blonde...so, feasibly Miata. Neither of them do see him, though, being that they're too absorbed in their argument.

As for what can be heard: ]

--can't believe this! We're so close! We're almost there!

[ The first voice is shrill and angry, unrecognizable. ]

No. You're almost there.

[ And the second one is a voice they've heard a lot these past months: Miata. ]

[thebonezone]

[sans is so proud of rhys for being Useful and also for being Cool Sci-Fi. this is why he still likes rhys. he gets a thumbs up for it. GOOD JOB RHYS!!

speaking of good jobs, he's gonna be whispering to papyrus, since one is obviously miata:]

can you see the other one?

[...wait papyrus doesn't have an indoor voice what has sans done]

[jackhole]

[ rhys goes wide eyed when sans asks that to papyrus and oh my god, are you kidding him? in a very panicked gesture, rhys will reach out to grab papyrus by the cape and drag him down towards sans and him again before he's able to say anything.

DON'T YOU SHOUT, SKELETON. DON'T YOU DO IT.

in a very furious whisper -- ]

Papyrus, for the love of all that is good in the world, do not shout. Whisper it, or don't say anything at all and I'll -- I don't know. I'll do anything you want. You name it, you got it. Please. For me.

[ PAPYRUS PLEASE DON'T RUIN THIS ]

[friendboned]

[Sans has doomed them all. Is Rhys enough to save them???]

[WE'LL FIND OUT, on this episode of CHURCH SEX]

[When Rhys TUGS HIM DOWN to be closer to him, Papyrus blushes!!]

(RHYS... I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT ME... BUT THIS ISN'T THE TIME.) [look, he's being quiet!!! HE HAS AN INDOOR VOICE!! KIND OF!!!]

(I SEE THEM. IT IS A WOMAN... AND THEY ARE COMMITTING GHOST CRIMES TOGETHER???)

[vicedirector]

Is it Lith-whatever? Is this because of her? Or the one who just died? Did they tell you something?! I won't have this!

[ First voice has negative 10 chill, apparently. It's even accompanied with exaggerated motions, for all that can be seen from behind. ]

[thebonezone]

[i can't believe rhys is going to marry papyrus]

[... also, does this sound at all like katerina if you added a little chill?]

keep lookin'? tell me if they do something. you guys can go on a date later.

[priorities, rhys, geesh]

[jackhole]

[ the most baffled look here. why is a skeleton blushing??? okay so he's just going to shove papyrus away and back to the window because that's a bit too much for him and then hiss at sans -- ]

We're not going on a date.

[ papyrus is not his type, okay. but seriously, please keep looking and rhys will keep recording and this is probably katerina, isn't it? haha, what a yandere.

after a moment, rhys will add on this: ]

Haha... hey, Sans. Do you think they're doing it?

[ #priorities ]

[friendboned]

[Rhys is so rough, iyaaaa. /// Papyrus ends up shoved back against the window]

[But it's okay, he knows Rhys's true feelings!!!]

[Papyrus continues to watch, trying to place the voice... is it Katerina? Or one of the other ghosts...? They'd only seen two, so far.]

(DOING WHAT?? WHAT ARE THEY DOING??)

[Rhys why would you ask this]

[vicedirector]

[ It's a bit hard to tell, given that this voice is screaming, and Katerina hardly speaks above a whisper whenever she does the announcements.

But it's a feasible match. ]

No. I decided this on my own. Would you stop screaming? Someone's going to hear you.

[ #thingsthatarenthelpingthesextheory

Miata doesn't sound remotely bothered by the screaming, though, her tone calm but determined.

The other girl stops, her fists quivering at her side. ]

I don't believe this. You're not that stupid! Someone's going to kill you!

[ ...and that is not a scream, definitely, more of a furious hiss, confirming that voice as Katerina's. ]

[thebonezone]

[sans's deadpan face at rhys's sex line and follow up papyrus questioning is the face of someone saying "look what you've done". rhys he just thumbs-upped you don't make him take it back so soon.]

he means fighting. [said with the voice of a dude way too used to straight up lying to his brother, oops] what's she doing...?

[she being miata, since she's apparently fighting with katerina about getting herself murdered?? wow sans has never had a similar conversation with papyrus ever. ever]

[jackhole]

[ look... look, he has regrets. he regrets making the comment. he regrets even coming over to this door. but now he's committed to recording this conversation so here we are! he will play it for everyone later is the plan but it sure is tedious to sit through. ]

Something Katerina doesn't like, it sounds like. You think they're ever gonna stop arguing and come out here? Because sitting through a lover's quarrel is pretty boring. I thought this was gonna have something to do with us.

[ rhys, why are you the least empathetic dude? ]

[friendboned]

(OH... IN THAT CASE, THEY ARE DEFINITELY DOING "IT".) [he's definitely helping this regret train]

[But Papyrus has to wonder what this is about]

(SHE IS... WORRIED ABOUT MIATA)

[vicedirector]

Really? [ Miata laughs. ] That doesn't sit well with you, does it?

[ Silence. And then: ]

If you're trying to make me protect you, you're doing a swell job of it.

[thebonezone]

[who has the more useless commentary: rhys or papyrus?? vote now on your phones!!!]

[...is rhys right tho is this a lover's quarrel. sheesh.]

protect her from what? would it kill 'em to not be so vague.

[says sans, the not at all vague and mysterious asshole skeleton]

[jackhole]

[ this commentary train is just going to assholeville population: the skelebros and this jackhole. rhys just leans his forehead against the door and groans. ]

Oh my godddd, right? Just, come on. [ he lifts his forehead and drops it against the door. ] What about us? [ another lift and drop ] And the murders? [ and again. ] Aaaand the rest of this bullshit town? Oh my god, I just want to go hoooome. Who caaaares about Miata maybe dying or whatever?

[ then he knocks his forehead against the door a few more times. someone better stop rhys before he gets the attention of the angry lesbians. ]

[friendboned]

[Papyrus will be the straight man for this tag... he grasps Rhys and holds him back]

(RHYS!!! YOU NEED TO CONTAIN YOURSELF!!!)

[First the romantic gestures, now this??? COULD YOU MAYBE CHILL]

[vicedirector]

[ Too bad for Rhys, this continues on for a bit. And then eventually: ]

Look, my point is that you absolutely cannot be out and about this week of all weeks! Even if I told them to spare you, they wouldn't care. I'll be the figurehead if I must, but you aren't leaving the basement!

Giving me cabin fever? If you insist.

Oh, stop that. Eight people, that's a big chance. And I refuse to take it!

[ Miata holds her hands up in front of her a bit defensively, though she's still got a light smile on. ]

So go! Right now! I don't want to see your face outside of that room until next Monday! And furthermore...

[ Their voices drift off, as Katerina ushers Miata out of view. Eventually, they can hear a door slam shut and lock, and there's no noises anymore. ]

[thebonezone]

[. . . . .]

welp.

[THAT SURE IS OMINOUS!!!]

[jackhole]

[ guess who is looking dumbfounded at the door and when it's clear they're both gone, he just lets out an aggravated yell and falls back in the snow in a huff. he crosses his arms over his chest and glares up at the sky. ]

Nothing happened! NOTHING HAPPENED. WHY DIDN'T ANYTHING HAPPEN?

[ rhys has truly become "old man yells at cloud" now. ]
