[You will almost never hear this; Papyrus always answers in the first two rings. But if he's dead, in a movie theater, between phones, or extremely busy, then here's...]

HELLO, THIS IS THE GREAT PAPYRUS!! LEAVE YOUR NAME, NUMBER, AND COMPLIMENTS AFTER THE BEEP, AND I'LL RETURN YOUR CALL!

BEEEEEP!!

I thought... I don't know... That you'd just be very thin? But human, at least.

[He hasn't been out and about here enough to know all the unusual beings around.]

And alive.

[cool_skeleton]

NYEH HEH HEH, AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M ALL MUSCLE!!!

[He flexes where his biceps would be, if he had them.]

NOPE, NOT HUMAN!! THOUGH I USED TO BE VERY INTERESTED IN CATCHING THEM!

AND I'M DEFINITELY ALIVE!!! HOW ELSE WOULD WE BE TALKING OTHERWISE???

[Explain that one, smart guy!]

Video now? Or did he just send a picture? XD

[mysteryhero]

You're certainly talking a lot.

Why would you catch humans?

Let's say he sent a pic, and is flexing so hard he can *hear it*. Maybe.

[cool_skeleton]

THAT'S WHAT PHONES ARE MADE FOR! AS WELL AS SENDING SELFIES!!

FOR THEIR SOUL POWER, OF COURSE!!

XD [Audio]

[mysteryhero]

Soul power?

[cool_skeleton]

YEAH!! YOU KNOW. POWER FROM THE SOUL!!!

[There he explained it better]

[mysteryhero]

How does this power work?

[cool_skeleton]

MUCH BETTER FOR HUMANS, I CAN TELL YOU THAT!! IT'S REALLY USEFUL FOR BREAKING DOWN MONSTER-TRAPPING BARRIERS.

BUT THAT WAS THEN. NOW I THINK THE BARRIER TRAPS EVERYONE EQUALLY. EXCEPT IT'S NOT REALLY A TRAP AT ALL!!

[mysteryhero]

What is it if not a trap?

sorry i missed this somehow

[cool_skeleton]

JUST YOUR AVERAGE BARRIER THAT PROTECTS PEOPLE, LIKE ME!! EXCEPT I DON'T MAKE PEOPLE UNCONSCIOUS WHEN THEY GET CLOSE...

...UNLESS MY OVERWHELMING COOLNESS DOES THAT. IT COULD HAPPEN!!

np!

[mysteryhero]

So you think the barrier is a protection.

That makes us in a sort of cage. Like a pet.

Re: np!

[cool_skeleton]

MY THOUGHTS ARE AS CLEAR AND SCINTILLATING AS THE MORNING SUN.

BUT THOSE AREN'T IT. BECAUSE CAGES, I THINK, ARE MEANT TO KEEP YOU FROM GOING PLACES. AND NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO THE PLACES THE BARRIER BLOCKS OFF.

ALSO, PETS ARE USUALLY GIVEN TREATS AND PETS, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN MANY OF THOSE.

[mysteryhero]

You must have been here for a long time, to know so much and.... what do Guardians do exactly, anyway?

[cool_skeleton]

IF A FEW MONTHS IS A LONG TIME, THEN YES! BUT IF NOT, THEN NO. I'M JUST WELL INFORMED!!

[He takes his job, like just about everything, very seriously, and read everything that pertained to it, i.e. he did what the hologram said.]

WE PROTECT OUR RESPECTIVE CITIES!!! AND RECRUIT DEPUTIES!! AND MAYBE MAKE HO'GRAMS IF WE FIND THE TECH TO DO THAT. THAT'S MORE OF A N'CITY THING.

BASICALLY, WE'RE THE MOST POPULAR PROTECTORS EVER!!!

[mysteryhero]

Holograms?

[That peaked his interest.]

What do you use these holograms for?

[cool_skeleton]

YOU PUT THEM AT THE ENTRANCES TO THE CITIES, AND THEN YOU CAN INTRODUCE AND TELL PEOPLE STUFF! JUST LIKE IN THE BAY!!!

IT'S LIKE I'M ALWAYS THERE TO GREET YOU, EVEN WHEN I'M NOT!! I CAN'T IMAGINE A COOLER INVENTION!!

[mysteryhero]

Yes, I saw the welcome message.

Is that the only use for them here?

[cool_skeleton]

YOU CAN ALSO FILL THEM WITH TRAPS, IN CASE YOU WANT TO TAKE A NAP.

[mysteryhero]

Traps. That makes sense.

[Although the nap doesn't.]

[cool_skeleton]

[Yes, filling welcoming holograms with traps makes perfect sense and will always give the right impression. Papyrus is glad Mysterio sees the wisdom in this.]

I KNOW!! I HAVE TO FILL FAYREN WITH LOTS OF TRAPS FOR THAT VERY SENSIBLE REASON!!!

WELL MYSTERIO, I'M GLAD WE CLEARED THINGS UP. IF YOU EVER NEED GUARDING IN FAYREN, YOU KNOW THE SKELETON TO CALL!

[mysteryhero]

[Just because he can see it, doesn't mean he approves, exactly.]

It's been interesting... to say the least.

I appreciate the time you took to speak with me.
