It's a somewhat cloudy day out today, though not too cold out. Sans is walking along the sidewalk, heading home after picking up some groceries for his brother He'd rather be at home still taking a nap, but Pap wouldn't have any of it.

As he's walking, he hears a soft chirping sound. The sounds coming from down the alleyway it seems, so he looks around a bit then down the alley. Laying on top of a couple of trash bags by the dumpster is a short and dark creature wearing a long pale-blue cloak. It has a pale-white shell, encasing its entire head. The eye sockets are hollow and pitch black.

"Hey there kiddo, you alright?" he asks, worried and a bit panicked at seeing such a wildly different monster motionless like that. At first, the creature doesn't react, so he taps it on the shoulder lightly "Kiddo?" 

The Creature jumps up, stabbing the bag he's holding. "Oh crap! hey-" He teleports as it strikes at where he was. "let's-" he teleports again, the creature slashing at the air. "Heh, we could do this all day," he says, now sitting on the dumpster. He teleports, getting out of the way of the creature's slash attack. "Let's not, actually. That sounds dead exhausting." The creature stops for a moment "Look kiddo, I'm not going to hurt you. Let's just calm down, ok? I've never seen anything like you before, but something tells me you're super not from around here." He watches the creature's reaction, smiling before saying "Guess I hit.. the nail on the head?" He chuckles some from his own joke, looking at its weapon.

After a moment the creature starts chuckling a bit, chirpily and a bit echoed.

"Thought you'd like that. My brother, Papyrus, and I live just down the street, how about we get a bit of rest, and figure out what all is going on?" The creature picks up the torn bag "my name's Sans by the way. Sans the skeleton." He waits for a few seconds as the creature stands up fully "... Guess you aren't much of a talker." He ways, leading the way to his place with the creature following behind him.
