Fonttale 2: Waking the World!

Chapter Thirty: God's Insane

"S-sorry it took so long! I had another patient." Alphys sat her bag of medical supplies on Papyrus's computer chair and rummaged through it for a thermometer.

"i'm actually feeling much better, sorry..."

"We need to check everything just to make sure okay? Oops!" Alphys almost dropped the thermometer on the ground, but she caught it in the crook of her arm. "Pew! That was close! S-sorry about that!"

"You're in quite a hurry Alphys."

"Well the patient I had is actually missing...this old lady skeleton with a weird necklace collapsed while entering my lab and...!"

Sans and Papyrus looked to one another.

"is she talking about symbol?"

"You read her entry I assume?"

"yeah, she has the ability to see the illnesses in fonts. too bad she isn't here, she could tell me if i was really sick and maybe even what the problem was..."

"I-I don't think so. Something's wrong with her I th-think, not to be rude or anything! If she's your friend-"

"She's really not."

"O-oh..okay..."

"what was wrong with her?"

"Well I gave away all my high-tech FontSearches to everyone and was going to visit the dump to look for more materials to make the devices, when she dropped in."

"heh heh heh..."

"That wasn't a pun Sans-"

"What happened then?" asked Papyrus glancing at his brother.

"She uhh, umm she was unconscious so I put in one of the medical beds in the..other lab, but I still wanted to know what Font she was before doing anything s-so-"

"You used Gaster's old as dirt FontSearch."

"Yeah! I forgot to ha ha, upgrade it though and I just scanned her. Silly me! heh heh..." Alphys laughed nervously, averting her eyes. She gave Sans the thermometer and waited, tapping her claws on her arm impatiently.

"So are you gonna finish your story or...?"

"Her entry was...bad. Really really bad. I guess she heard it, because she sat up and glared at me...I was so scared!"

Papyrus narrowed his eyes.

Symbol's suppose to be a Normal Font. She shouldn't be able to scare someone with but a simple glare.

"May I see the entry on her please?"

"Don't you have a FontSearch?"

"I want the one that isn't updated. I need to read that entry-"

"I'm sorry Papyrus, but I updated the FontSearch because I thought the entry was old and I was hoping it would calm her down..."

"Then let me see the security footage from the lab!"

"Al-alright! J-just calm down, okay?!"
