Open RP post, yo.

(For either fabulae_victoriana shenanigans, as to avoid clogging up the comm. Or general RP with others. And I guess any of my dumb solo writing stuff to explain things in F_V that may happen to Chara-Frisk when the kid is on their own.

Or something, I'm awful at these.)

Oh don't tell you've never considered it? Not once during all of those resets?

If you say no you're a liar.

[bonedoggle]

[He laughs bitterly.]

you know as well as i do that it wouldn't stick.

So what's the point?

[corruptedsave]

Mm, I don't know. Maybe it could be the one time a reset doesn't happen.

[Their tone is dry.]

It would certainly make for the best ending for everyone, don't you think?

[bonedoggle]

hmm.

if you're trying to upset me it's not gonna work.

[His eyelights slowly return.]

i'm past those sort of thoughts...

[corruptedsave]

I doubt that, you never lose those thoughts.

[And they try to lean on the porch, and down they go. Face first into the dirt.]

Ow.

[bonedoggle]

[Sans stares down at Chara, barely reacting to them apparently hurting themselves save for a minor sympathetic wince.]

...speaking from experience, kid?

[corruptedsave]

[They were trying to be intimidating and/or cool, did it work? Not at all, as Chara props themselves up on their elbows now.]

No comment.

[bonedoggle]

right.

[Sans plants himself on the stairs.]

you're a piece of work.

[corruptedsave]

So you keep telling me, don't you have anything else to say?

[bonedoggle]

what else is there to say?

[He leans forward, clasping his hands together in front of his face.]

i guess i just can't understand why someone would lash out like you do.

[corruptedsave]

I dunno, something other than how I'm a "mess" or a "freak".

[Just gonna stay on the ground themselves, less effort involved.]

And I can't understand how someone could give up like you did.

[bonedoggle]

[Sans gives Chara a weary look.]

because i had no future.

[corruptedsave]

I mean all of you, not just you-you.

[Even Sans-es who aren't from everyone is dead timelines are quitters.]

[bonedoggle]

call me crazy, but i bet we'd all have similar reasons.

[corruptedsave]

Giving up doesn't help anyone though, no matter the reasons.

[Then again, not giving up is what got Chara where they are. So damned if you do situation all around.]

[bonedoggle]

you think i gave up because i wanted to?

nothing i did ever worked. i had every ounce of hope beaten out of me.

[corruptedsave]

Why would you need hope? Just don't give up out of spite.

[Chara, no.]

[bonedoggle]

easier said than done.

i don't think you understand just how worn out it made me.

[corruptedsave]

It's because you have no stamina, and never tried to fix that.

[They make a clicking sound with their mouth.]

Or maybe it's cause you're an old man.

[bonedoggle]

heh.

[It's true he has no stamina, but there's only so much he can do about that.]

'm not that old.

[corruptedsave]

All of you act old! Like grumpy old dusty bones.

[Huff.]

It's ridiculous.

[bonedoggle]

...

well, i have been trapped in a time loop for literal years.

so maybe i'm older than i look.

[corruptedsave]

Over a hundred, possibly.

[Not that they kept... track, ha ha ha ha.]

Doesn't mean you should act old, Sansy.

[bonedoggle]

i'd believe that.

[He groans, annoyed.]

you're, what, twelve? thirteen? you think everyone's old, even someone who's only twice your age.

[corruptedsave]

Well, if we're not counting the time I've been dead then you'd be correct.

[Chara is going to smile some more.]

Hey, I met Gerson and no one is older than him. So at least you're not that old.
