you went through all that effort to not hurt one person...

even when you were trying to kill him.

i just don't get why you'd all of a sudden just...

give up like this.

you don't really seem like the kind of guy who half steps things...

*most of the time anyway*

i uhhhh

noticed you didn't hit your boyfriend at all in that little scuffle.

just let him wail on you.

takes a lot of effort to hold back like then when you've got THAT thing telling you what to do

sure it can.

it'll take a lot of time.

years.

maybe even your whole life.

but so long as you put in that effort...

sky's the limit.

(sans stepped between toph and spamton)

bud...

you're a weird guy.

you got the chance of a lifteime.

even if you don't get forgiveness...

you still got a chance to fix everything

you're telling me you've got all that on the table...

and you wanna die instead?

alright somebody work their magic cuz uhhhh....

i left my matches at home

(sans puts a bit more umph into his amateur performance, making the trombone resonate more)

(sans takes a deep breath and starts playing as loud as possible on his trombone)

hey kid.

might wanna find something real hot rigth about now...

(sans pulls out his trombone)

because we gotta move fast!

oh and uhhh....

cover your ears everyone.

(sans played the supporting role in this fight, sending bones along vengeance's side and changing his gravity all while using the same flickering power to restore the symbiote's position at certain points. at the end, he finished with a volley of gaster blasters.)

i'll save the whole schpeal for when we're back with stretch

for now...

(sans' eye glows blue)

we got bigger fish to fry...

(sans steps forward)

hey ugly...

let's dance.

(sans did his best to keep up with the attacks, some barely scratching him.

for one of the few times in his life, sans felt surprised)

(sans follows suit, launching a gaster blaster from behind)

(a bone appeared in front of toph, stopping the tendril before it could hit her)

buddy...

you just don't know when to quit don't you?

no kiddin'.

welp.

nothing left to do other than press on.

wherever that thing is, it's gotta be in here...

that's the plan, bud.

anywhooooo.

we gotta hurry if we wanna stop this freakazoid from doing more murder.

ooc - @discardedimp.bsky.social

like the enthusiasm, kid.

...

(sans closes his eyes and turns to jevil)

this has gotta be weighing on you pretty heavy, huh.

some parasite took over your boyfriend...

did this...

heck, i'd be pretty upset too.

that symbiote guy happened...

and we don't gotta wonder where he is.

by the looks of it, he left a nice, bloody trail for us to follow...

heh...
