[FRISK POV]

     Papyrus let go and got up and walked to the door.
     "BUT OF COURSE! THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU! BUT SANS MUST BE GETTING HUNGRY, I'LL MAKE SOME OF MY FAMOUS SPAGHETTI!! NYEH HEH HEH!"
     "Pap, how about I help you?"
     "HELP ME?"
     "Well yeah, I though I could—"
     "WOWIE!! YOU REALLY WANNA HELP ME??" I turned to him and smiled.
     "Of course! Making dinner all by yourself, especially with a guest, must be hard. So I wanna help!"
      "WELL, LET'S GET STARTED!"
. . .

     Papyrus was taking the spaghetti to the table. He called to sans, who was in his room when something interesting happened.
"SANS, ITS TIME FOR— Dinner..." sans was already at the table. He definitely wasn't there before, but he's there now. I've seen this happen a few times, but I've never seen it so close before. Papyrus was livid. "SANS WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT USING YOUR SHORTCUTS IN THE HOUSE?" That's wasn't what struck me as odd though, as I've seen sans use shortcuts plenty of times. Even Chara had used them before.
"that they're efficient?"
"NO! SHORTCUTS ARE LAZY AND REDUNDANT, YOU LAZY BONES! YOU CAN EASILY WALK DOWN THE STAIRS LIKE A NORMAL MONSTER!" Papyrus set the spaghetti down onto the table.
"sorry bro"
"ITS QUITE ALRIGHT, I FORGIVE YOU. LETS EAT SOME DELICIOUS—" That's not what I found odd, what was different was...
"Wait, Papyrus speaks lowercase?" The two skeleton brothers stared at me.
"what?"
"Yeah, earlier when Papyrus said dinner, he said it in lowercase." Papyrus sat down. sans looked at me even more intently then before.
"how would you know if he spoke lowercase?" I thought about it for a minute. How did I know that he spoke lowercase?
"Well... I'm not too sure myself, but I can kinda tell what your words look like... Like, it's like I can see them, but not with my eyes. Like Pap, he usually speaks will all uppercase letters and has very intense punctuation. But you, sans, speak in all lowercase, and you rarely even use punctuation. But when he spoke lowercase, it was different from what his words usually look like." Sans took a shortcut away and back in under a second, and set a large book on the table.
"this is a compendium of every speakable font/typeface that intelligent life can produce." Papyrus chipped in.
"PERHAPS WE CAN GO THROUGH IT... AFTER... DINNER? THE SPAGHETTI WILL GET COLD BEFORE THE HUMAN GOES THROUGH THAT ENTIRE BOOK, WHICH WOULD BE A SHAME BECAUSE THE HUMAN HELPED MAKE IT!"
"sounds like a plan bro"
