A Final Boss Awakens!

[Sans]

For a brief moment in time, he let his mask slip just the tiniest amount. His smile barely changed, yet it seemed to widen one hundred inches. As he laid back against his chair, his shoulders visibly drooped, as if a large weight had been lifted off of his back. He let out a large, albeit quiet sigh, allowing himself to relax for just a moment. 

Finally, a lead! Someone who might knew where his little brother was! If Guu knew where he was...

His heart began to sink, however, as Desco kept talking.

"Since time moves differently in different places here, she might not get it for a couple weeks! Or Guu could be busy. That's probably how Guu made Ambrosia so quickly while Desco was away! Time is really weird here.

oooooffff course... he thought to himself. Seemed like the world still didn't want to make him completely happy yet. He should have expected there would be a catch; after all, why wouldn't there be? A transportation into a completely unfamiliar world such as this one couldn't bother giving him some kind of a positive.

He distracted himself from his disappointment with pondering what Desco meant by "time is really weird here." From what he could gather from her odd ramblings, he could at least confirm that this.... world -it was getting harder and harder to tell whether or not he was in a world or something else entirely the more and more he learned about it- held more than just the world of white and the world of rain-forests and candy palaces. It seemed to be a reasonable thought; it just didn't make any sense for there to be JUST two places like the white world and the forest world with THIS many colorful characters in it. But, according to the purple monster demon whatever, time was more than a little wonky in each world. So, from that, day could be night back at the white world, if night and day was even a thing over there at all. He couldn't imagine just how clunky it must have made travel and messaging and whatnot. Messages from one person to another could take days, maybe even years to reach the other.

He was getting back into his "science" mindset again. He did that on occasion, or at least when he was presented with something that piqued his interest enough to warrant it. He couldn't remember when he first got it; he just always had it, as far as he could tell.

He forced himself out of his thoughts to try to pay attention to what Desco was saying. He very quickly decided to just blank her out and sip from his ketchup soda bottle instead. It took more than a few minutes for her to stop talking and suggest going somewhere else, and by that time, the skeleton was already lightly slapping himself in the face to keep from falling asleep right on her.

He shrugged. "sure, why not? i got nothing else to do anyway."

He set down his half-empty ketchup soda bottle, waving for their Gothitelle waitress to come pick up his litter of drinks. She seemed to stick out her tongue at him as she came over to clean his mess up. He would've tried to annoy her with repeated attempts at jokes and flirts if he wasn't more focused on staying awake and on sliding out of his chair to walk out of the Emporium with Desco.
