it's not like you're the one up on the chopping block.

[...yet? this is probably not reassuring]

[jackhole]

[ he's got his stomach under control now but he sort of looks at sans like he's crazy. ]

You don't find the whole voting to murder someone who may have murdered someone else in our group a liiittle bit horrifying?

[ rhys, people at your job literally throw other people out into space just because they spilled coffee on them. at least this set of murders is justified! ]

[thebonezone]

[shrugs]

the whole baseless murder thing isn't my gig, sure. but i can't say i'm against the whole "eye for an eye" thing so long as they get the right one.

[...and then he winks]

but since i've only got eyesockets, maybe i shouldn't be so quick to judge.

[jackhole]

[ see, rhys is pretty sure he just got winked at but he's not entirely sure how it happened. talking to a skeleton is so weird. ]

Yeah, I mean. What would they even take?

[ rhys, you don't just ask people things like that. ]

I just don't want to be involved in this kind of stuff. I know it happens a lot -- hell, people here wouldn't last a day at my job -- but it's just... nnnnot something I'm into.

[thebonezone]

i've got a couple of ribs to spare.

[GET .. IT... SPARE RIBS...]

heh, to be honest, all of this murder stuff is pretty abnormal to me. monsters like to talk big about how bloodthirsty humans are, but i guess i always hoped it was a bunch of tall tales.

an' not just because the guys telling it were taller than me.

[badumtshhhhhhhh]

you're winning

[jackhole]

[ have a look at the pun, sans. come on. be better than that. ]

Humans aren't generally like this. Like, there are places where killing people is just kind of -- it's just what happens! But something like this? This whole game? That isn't normal.

[ it's something handsome jack would do, probably, but rhys is well aware of how crazy his hero is. let rhys live.

also rhys is taller than papyrus so there is that. he does have to mumble: ]

... How are you even that short?

[ you're a SKELETON. ]

im pretty sure im losing actually

[thebonezone]

[shrugs] normal or not, it's happening right now. nothing much to do but try and deal with it. [also rhys asking sans to explain skeletons was a mistake, because this is what he answers] i just got bad genes.

[HOW DOES A SKELETON EVEN HAVE GENES??]

you may lose the battle but win the war

[jackhole]

Yeah.

[ and then he sort of stands there awkwardly for a moment before letting out a nervous kind of laugh. ]

Ahaha, what? Like you... like you just picked up the wrong ones at the store? Haha.

[ get it? like jeans and genes. haha, isn't he hilarious???







except no. rhys just presses his hand to his face in shame. ]

-- That was so bad. That was so baaaad.

i'm gonna lose the war too html is just my future robot overlord

[thebonezone]

[now, see, usually sans is a nice enough person to let shit like that go. because he's done and heard worse ones, and honestly the worst jokes are the greatest in his book.

except. except.]

buddy... i'm wearing shorts. [EXCEPT IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE, RHYS........... he was technically given pants but what does he care, he is a skeleton. still, he decides to throw rhys a bone (sigh)] after the last time, i didn't wanna be short-changed again.

[short/shorts/jeans/pants/ etc etc these are Awful]
