Memories

Chapter 3

Sans groaned as he realised that the couch had once again moved, it was somehow, on the ceiling. The ceiling. Where's the logic in that?

A few timelines ago, after coming back to life from an unexpected reset. Blue strings started to appear.

At first, all it did was prank the kiddo a few times. Soon the pranks became lethal, murderous traps that one hit killed the child.

There were many times Papyrus would observe the traps 'that just appeared from nowhere' to study it and figure out how it worked.

After a few timelines, not only where there even more death traps for the kid but the strings started to prank everyone! Sometimes they would move stuff making others look for it before putting it back confusing everyone, other times they would trip monsters or even help monsters!

The strangest thing was that monsters could remember the strings after resets. Usually after a reset, everyone would forget but no.

Everyone could remember bits of the string.

Some said that they remember strings delivering food to their hiding spot after a genocide route, even papyrus remembered that the strings distracted the kiddo giving him enough time to learn their patterns!!

It confused Sans so much!

Once, Sans had walked in on Papyrus creating blueprints for a trap, and guess what? The strings were assisting him, they pointed at what could make the trap better and it even drew examples!

The most surprising thing about these strings were that they were overprotective of papyrus.

More overprotective then Sans was of his brother.

There were time when monsters were dusted because they were mean to Papyrus.

It's just so overboard!

Speaking of Papyrus.

Sans walked out of the house to look for his brother who seemed to be missing, his post? No, the house? Already checked, what about Waterfalls?

Sans quickly teleported towards the water filled land as he looked around, he slowly walked towards another corridor only to find his brother humming with a plate of his inedible spaghetti and a little note.

"um... Bro? What are you doing?"

Papyrus looked towards his brother as he grinned his million dollar grin.

" WELL BROTHER! I'M OFFERING THE STRINGS OF MERCY MY FAMOUS SPAGHETTI! "

Huh, and Sans though the mystery couldn't get worse.

"the strings of mercy? what do you mean? "

" I MEAN THAT THE STRINGS HAVE HELPED US MORE THAN WE THINK! THE STRINGS WRAPPED AROUND MY SOUL-"

Sans's eye lights went out. What could these mysterious strings be doing now?

" AND FORCED ME TO DODGE USING A DIFFERENT PATTERN! I WAS EVEN ABLE TO DEFEAT THE HUMAN A FEW TIMES! "

what? This is new.

Sans's eye lights lit up as he looked at his brother, huh. Maybe the strings really were strings of mercy.

"wow papyrus, wow... "

"I KNOW RIGHT?!"

Papyrus left the spaghetti and note in the snow before happily skipping off

Sans looked at the rubbish worth plate of food before starting to scream internally. How was he gong to explain to his brother when he comes to check on the gifts expecting them to be gone only to find them still there?
