Video/Action for Violet City

[coolskeleton_95]

[Today, Papyrus has found a few cinder blocks, and has made himself a makeshift podium. People go about their days around him, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him that much.]

CITIZENS OF VIOLET CITY! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, IMPLORE YOU ALL TO GAZE UPON AND ADORE THE NEWEST ADDITION TO MY SUPER TEAM OF SUPER MONSTERS!

[He holds up a Shinx, ala Lion King. The Shinx itself doesn't seem to mind, having a bit of a derpy expression on it's face.]

BEHOLD! I PRESENT TO YOU ALL, THE GREAT LUMINARI! ONCE HE'S COMPLETED HIS INITIAL TRAINING, THE VIOLET CITY GYM BADGE WILL BE OURS! THEN! NOTHING WILL BE STOPPING ME FROM COLLECTING THE AZALEA CITY GYM BADGE! AND THEN THE GOLDENROD CITY GYM BADGE! NYEH-HEH-HEH! THIS GYM CHALLENGE OF THIS LAND WILL STAND NO MATCH BEFORE THE MIGHTY PAPYRUS AND HIS LOYAL UNDERLINGS! RELAX WHILE YOU CAN, GYM LEADERS! FOR ALL TOO SOON YOU WILL FACE COMBAT THE LIKES OF WHICH YOU CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO COMPREHEND!

HE'S NOT THIS SAD IT'S THE ONLY SAD ICON I HAVE SORRY

[coolskeleton_95]

O-OH...I...UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP THAT'D BE A BIT ALARMING

[ratingspoint]

[Well. Well, well, well. Well.

...This poor barista, just pay the poor fucking barista, this is like eighty shades of awkward- ]

It isn't like we know each other very well, do we?

IKR

[coolskeleton_95]

W-WELL, THAT IS TRUE.

BUT...WE COULD GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER?

[ratingspoint]

[It's...weird, that he actually has to think about that for a moment; he isn't really sure what to feel about it, so after a moment he just kind of shakes it off.]

I don't see why not! If that's what you'd like, sure.

[coolskeleton_95]

FANTASTIC! AMAZING! SPLENDID! SUPER!

WE'LL BE THE BEST OF FRIENDS IN NO TIME AT ALL!

[ratingspoint]

[...dios mio]

I...well, we'll see, won't we!

[coolskeleton_95]

AH, IF ONLY I COULD COOK YOU SOME SPAGHETTI! [Drinks are up!] OH, GOODIE! SHALL WE GET A TABLE, THEN?

[ratingspoint]

Of course, darling, let's.

[You know, he has no idea what they're even going to discuss here, but he's not opposed to it in the least; he did agree to this entire outing in the first place, after all.

He's casual about it when he settles at one of the tables, crossing his legs idly at the knee and toying with the coffee cup a bit after he's set it down; given everything that today has decided to be, this is...actually pretty nice? It's good to just be out without proper obligations - there's still some sense of obligation in this, because interactions with fans generally come with that sort of thing attached, but it's not a strict one and it's more willing than necessary.

...Right.]

[coolskeleton_95]

[Papyrus is quick to sit down and have a sip. Nevermind that slight hint of "yuck" that crossed his face when he tasted the coffee underneath all the cream and chocolate.]

UM...SO...WHAT KINDS OF POKEMON HAVE YOU BEFRIENDED?

[ratingspoint]

[...This is legitimately why he prefers it blonde; it's...slightly less bitter, even if it's sort of astringent.

That said, it's not a bad question, that one.]

Mostly just the little beauties that I can find around Goldenrod; I don't like using Pokéballs any. It seems...strange.

So I don't really keep them; they come and go as they please. I tend to like Rotoms, I think I've mentioned those before. I have a few others that I've come across here and there, though.

[He pauses for a moment, thinking.]

You like the lion-like ones, don't you. Between Luminari and Herculanum, it seems that way.

[coolskeleton_95]

I AGREE! THESE CAPTURE DEVICES SEEM UNCOMFORTABLE AT LEAST!

HMM, THAT COULD BE TRUE! IT WOULD BE REFLECTIVE OF MY COURAGEOUS SPIRIT!

[ratingspoint]

Mhm, it would.

[Dear lord, the ego in this room.]

Although you're making me curious, darling, about what you think of this place - what with humans capturing and controlling monsters and all. A bit awkward, isn't it?

[coolskeleton_95]

IT'S...CONCERNING. WHILE THESE MONSTERS DO NOT SPEAK COMMON LANGUAGE, THEY ARE CERTAINLY ON PAR WITH OUR MENTAL CAPACITY, AND THEREFORE HUMANS'....

THOUGH, IT SEEMS LIKE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HERE TREAT THEM AS PARTNERS RATHER THAN ANYTHING ELSE, SO THERE IS THAT SMALL CONDOLENCE!

[ratingspoint]

That's true! They seem to be nice about it, at least.

Nothing to get worked up over yet, I guess - though we'll see how long that lasts with Undyne. She's here now, did you see that?

[coolskeleton_95]

OH, YES! SHE WAS JUST AS ASTOUNDED AS I WAS AT SUDDENLY BEING HUMAN!

SHE SEEMS EAGER TO DEFEAT THE GYM CHALLENGE AS WELL!

[ratingspoint]

She would, wouldn't she.

[What with being an overly aggro fishlady and all.]

I have to wonder if any others will show up, when it comes to people we know.

[coolskeleton_95]

IT COULD BE FUN! THOUGH, I WONDER WHAT EVERYONE WOULD LOOK LIKE HUMAN-IZED?

[ratingspoint]

Well, some would be cuter than others, unfortunately - King Asgore would be adorable, though, there's no question about that.

[coolskeleton_95]

OOOH, YOU'RE RIGHT! I WONDER WHAT SANS WOULD LOOK LIKE!

[ratingspoint]

Probably something like you, right? Family resemblance and all.

[coolskeleton_95]

HMM, THAT DOES MAKE SENSE! THOUGH ONE CAN'T BE TOO SURE!
