Hey, you've reached Dipper! I'm not here right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you soon!

...

But if this is paranormal-related? Hang up now, call back, let it ring exactly twice, then hang up again. Don't leave a message. I'll get back to you even sooner.

[punful]

hey

papyrus and frisk are back

wanted to say thanks

you did good down there.

text

[krmvgivv]

[Not good enough. If he'd done better maybe no one would have died.]

I'm just glad they're okay now.

text

[punful]

yeah. same.

how are you and mabel doing?

[He thinks he remembers the two of them being pretty close by when Papyrus...well. Anyway, that can't have been easy to watch. They're just kids.]

text

[krmvgivv]

We're good. Neither of us died. [This time. And if it might have raised some bad memories, well... memories aren't anything. Not really.]

text

[punful]

not sure if that's the standard by which to measure okay-ness.

[Sans you fuckin hypocrite.]

least not for kids.

text

[krmvgivv]

You can't argue it's not better than the alternative.

text

[punful]

heh, alright. you got me there.

let's just hope wonderland gives us a bit of a break after that.

text

[krmvgivv]

It never will.

[Dipper's been here for way too long. He's gotten cynical.]

text

[punful]

jeez. aren't you a bit young to be so pessimistic?

[Actually Sans is pretty sure that he was about that pessimistic at twelve. Thirteen. However old Dipper is.]

text

[krmvgivv]

I've been here over a year. I've earned it.

[He used to actually like Wonderland. That's changed.]

Can I ask you something that's probably really uncomfortable to answer?

text

[punful]

sorry, kid.

fire away. can't guarantee an answer, though.

text

[krmvgivv]

[How does he phrase this as tactfully as possible and not bring up too many bad memories?]

Is it usual for monsters to turn to dust when they die?

text

[punful]

[Bit of a pause.]

yeah.

that's how it is for us.

text

[krmvgivv]

I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting it.

[Maybe he would have handled it better if he'd known. Maybe there was no way he was going to handle that no matter what.]

text

[punful]

don't need to apologize, kid. shoulda warned you. just kinda...

didn't want to think too hard about it at the time.

text

[krmvgivv]

I get it man. I hope there's not a next time but if there is I'll know now.

text

[punful]

there's that at least.

just don't feel too bad. once we get like that there's nothing that can be done.

text

[krmvgivv]

It shouldn't have gotten to that point.

text

[punful]

yeah. but that's no one's fault.

text

[krmvgivv]

I know.

[There was nothing he could have done. He still feels like he failed everyone.]
