[Closed] From Heart to Stomach

Who: Papyrus & Madhuri (Open to a very sneaky Frisk)
When: August 16th
Where: Sparks Golsaucia, The Lady of Bliss and Madhuri's apartment
What: It's a date! Gotta catch a show and then cook dinner together.
Warnings/Notes: Papyrus. Nerds. Gratuitous foodiness.



The applause was uproarious. Each actor and actress quickly collected upon the stage to link hands and give their final bow, the orchestra playing the final overture. Weeks of hard work paid off for premiere night, allowing all of Vaikuntha to feast their eyes on a sweeping love story: An Otherworlder falls in love with a Native, but saves the world and is granted the chance to go home. But do they stay and live their life with their love, leaving family, work and friends, or do they depart...?

Madhuri gave her applauding hands a rest and sighed, resting her hat upon the table. As the owner of the establishment, a private box seat was always in the wings for her. Tonight, she took in a date. She turned to him, smiling.

"I'm elated that Rosemerta - the woman playing Beatrice in tonight's production - was able to overcome her fear of the stage. She'll have a wonderful career here in the Lady!"

She crossed her ankles. "What did you think, dear? I realize I never asked if you've seen an opera before."

This was certainly different! Granted, Papyrus had seen many shows and even participated in a few back in Hotland. But nearly all his entertainment either came from the dump or was one of Mettaton's amazing shows. Granted, Mettaton's talent ascended all comprehension, but to see an entirely new performance, so different. So distinct! Needless to say, he was hooked throughout the entire thing, even getting a bit teary eyed at places.

The drama! The heart! What a dilemma!

Naturally, he didn't hesitate to reply, "THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! THE EMOTIONS WERE SO RAW. SO REAL!!! THIS SITUATION COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE HERE, WHICH MAKES IT ALL THE MORE BITTERSWEET."

So, yes, it was a success, Madhuri.

He clapped his hands together, nodding eagerly. What a great idea! Perhaps he could bring friends. Even Frisk! It was a shame they didn't get to see it, especially from such fantastic view. But before he could remark on it, she was already shifting gears, and he tittered a bit at the comment.

"AH! RIGHT. I GOT SO SWEPT UP IN THE ENTERTAINMENT THAT I ALMOST FORGOT!!!" But he was quick to recover, regaining his composure and folding his arms. "VERY WELL, THEN! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, EAGERLY AWAIT THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS GLORIOUS GET-TOGETHER!!!"

"OOH! ADVANCE TICKETS? WOWIE. YOU'RE SPOILING ME!" He chuckled, but soon added, "NOT THAT I'M UNGRATEFUL. NO, TODAY, I'M THE GREATFUL PAPYRUS!!! ...SO YES, THAT WOULD BE TERRIFIC. I'LL TRY TO FIND SOME WA TO REPAY YOU LATER!"

Hrmm, would Frisk like ballet? Something for him to stew over, but there was time. For now, he'd just follow along, partially on account of being on relatively new turf.

Frisk had to admit, Madhuri had some pretty good taste if she really was the on that funded this show. Hell, they even caught themself tearing up at the final scene a little bit. But they couldn't let themself get distracted. It looked like the couple of the night was about to get moving, and it was high time they get their ass into gear as well. At least it looked like Madhuri was on her best behavior.

They get up to leave, blending into the crowd slowly filing out of the theater. It would probably be a good (and okay, somewhat entertaining) idea to give Madhuri a little reminder that she's being watched. As they move past the skeleton and the tiefling, Frisk flicks their ticket stub, signed with their name, onto Madhuri's shoes before moving back towards the exit, keeping an eye out for where the couple was going as well.

"OF COURSE! I'LL GIVE IT MY GLOWING RECOMMENDATION!!! I'LL SPREAD IT TO THE WINDS. AND ALSO POTENTIALLY THROUGH OTHER MEANS." He winked, proud of his uplifting sentiment, though his upbeat demeanor faltered just so slightly when the crowd began pushing through, turning him into a very wobbly skeleton.

Fortunately, unlike Madhuri, he had a rather tall stature, and once the initial shock wore off, he planted his feet down and even planted a mittened hand on her shoulder just in case. You know, for added support while the people rushed around. Wowie, it was busy, though. A lot like attending one of MTT's shows.

"NYEH HEH HEH! WELL, THERE'S NO RUSH. I'D MUCH RATHER TAKE THIS AT A COMFORTABLE PACE THAN FIGHT THE CURRENT OF A CONTENDED CROWD! THOUGH IF YOU NEED A SHIELD, MY STATURE SHOULD AT LEAST HELP. MAYBE?"

[personal profile] einspine 2018-08-29 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! A gentleman. Wowie. He tittered a little, his smile just a teensy bit lopsided. Of course, he recovered quickly enough, chest out, chin up, in his typical mock confidence. "WHY, THANK YOU! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, DO PRIDE MYSELF IN BEING THE GENTLEST OF GENTLEBONES. AS FOR YOUR HEIGHT... WELL, HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED A PAIR OF HOVER SHOES? THEN YOU COULD SOAR ABOVE THE CROWDS!!! AND LOOK VERY MAJESTIC AT THE SAME TIME."

Although, come to think of it... "...I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SELL THEM HERE, BUT I COULD ALWAYS LOOK INTO IT!"

But sooner or later, the crowds would die down and they could continue on their way. Still! Science had many applications, and hover shoes were probably a safer bet than attempts at a growth tonic.

And he trotted along, eager to reach their next destination. As they moved, though, he kept one hand on his chin, giving it a contemplative stroke. Materials, materials. Hrmmm...

"I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO GO ABOUT THE PROPULSION. ELECTRIC MAGIC COULD BE USED AS A POWER SOURCE, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, WIND SPELLS MIGHT BE A LESS... ZAPPY METHOD OF FLIGHT IF IT CAN BE CONTAINED, GENERATED, AND RELEASED IN A PRACTICAL MANNER.

OR THERE'S ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY OF STEAM OR FIRE... I SHOULD REALLY DO MORE TINKERING WITH MAGITEK NOW THAT I'VE NEARLY MASTERED CHEMIST. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES TO TEST!!!"


Ooh, maybe it could be a joint project, even! That could be exciting.

"NYEH HEH HEH!!! BUT SOMETIMES SOMETHING BIG AND BOISTEROUS IS JUST WHAT YOU NEED!" Said the one who tended to be rather... loud. And eccentric. And also very, very boisterous. Perhaps he was a tad biased in that regard.

Still, he nodded. It's true, Magitek to this world is what... well, normal technology was to his. Even if said technology often involved magic usage anyway. He was about to comment on the lifting, too, until-

Oh.

WELL.

Pardon him if he blushed a little. And tugged at his cape. "OH. WELL. IF YOU WANTED A LIFT, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WOULD GLADLY PROVIDE! ALTHOUGH MY HOVER BOARD WOULD PROBABLY BE FASTER. AND VERY, VERY STYLISH!!!"

Papyrus clapped his hands together. "YES! EXACTLY!!! IF I COULD RECREATE MY POCKET DIMENSION TECHNOLOGY, IT'D BE EVEN BETTER!"

But just as quickly as his face lit up, his face sobered a little bit. Alas, that may be wishful thinking at his current skill level. Regaining his technical prowess was no small feat, after all, and magitek remained an enigma.

But, ooh! That certainly was a stylish building, and so despite his height, he craned his neck a bit. "WOWIE. WELL! IF YOU THINK THE NUMBER THIRTEEN IS LUCKY, THEN I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, SHALL SECOND THAT NOTION! ...BECAUSE THE IDEA OF IT BEING UNLUCKY WAS ALWAYS CONFUSING, ANYWAY. THAT POOR NUMBER!"
einspine: (OH MY GOD!!!)

[personal profile] einspine 2018-09-24 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"OOH! MAGIC PORTALS, THEN? THAT MUST BE VERY CONVENIENT. ...UNLIKE THAT PALADIN BETRAYAL. BUT HRMMM... THREE BEING LUCKY ISN'T TOO SURPRISING EITHER! THREES ARE A RECURRING SYMBOL IN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING."

Rule of threes, beginning, middle, and end, some story about three pigs. Yes ineedy, it's a no-brainer to him, even if it was't the first thing that came to mind when he thought of luck.

He could have gone on, but... oh. A hand. How forward! Papyrus gasped.

"OH NO! YOUR DATING POWER!!! IT'S EXTRA POWERFUL!"

But he took it anyway, albeit sheepishly.
einspine: (nervous)

[personal profile] einspine 2018-10-01 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
GASP!!! Cooking power, too? Well, that made sense. They did talk about cooking before, didn't they? But hmm, what do skeletons eat? That was the million dollar question, wasn't it? One wouldn't think a skeleton could eat, but. Well. Papyrus isn't your average bone man.

"WHY, I'LL EAT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING! ...EXCEPT EXCESS GREASE. MY BROTHER... FOR WHATEVER REASON, HE ONLY EVER EATS THE MOST DRIPPING, DISGUSTING BURGERS AND FRIES." He paused. "THOUGH IF YOU LIKE THAT SORT OF FOOD, THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE AND I'LL ACCEPT WHATEVER YOU PREPARE MOST GENEROUSLY!!!"
einspine: (OH MY GOD!!!)

[personal profile] einspine 2018-10-01 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
He was going to comment on the ingredients, but.

Other worlds. Plural. Said so casually, even! Those googly eyes popped back in full force, and for a second or two, Papyrus just sorta gawked as they walked.

And then, just like that...

"OH MY GOD?!?!?!"

'Twas a bit shriekier than usual. And his voice already was fairly shrill. But. But!! "SO YOU TRAVEL TO OTHER WORLDS REGULARLY? THAT'S INCREDIBLE! UNBELIEVABLE! WELL, MAYBE NOT TOO UNBELIEVABLE. I'VE MADE AT LEAST ONE CONTACT IN A PARALLEL REALITY. BUT. BUT!!! THAT'S AMAZING! YOU'RE VERY LUCKY!"

As if she couldn't get any cooler. A real, genuine world traveler. And they were having a date! Wowie!
einspine: (OH MY GOD!!!)

[personal profile] einspine 2018-10-03 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Do pardon if his grip tightened just a teensy bit. It's really just a shock thing. This was all so much to process! He beamed like a kid that just got everything on their Christmas list- well, that's what it looked like, anyway. His free hand kinda covered his mouth partway as he tried to contain his excitement.

"F-FLYING CARS! REAL, GENUINE FLYING CARS!!! AMAZING. AND TELEPATHY, TOO? WOWIE. YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL ME MORE! WELL. IF YOU WANT TO. I WON'T PUSH YOU! THAT WOULD BE VERY RUDE AND VERY UN-DATE-LIKE."

He thought. Admittedly, he didn't have a lot of practical dating experience. But this was supposed to be a good date! Which meant not being too overly naggy. As much as this intrigued him, it was all her call. The fact that he was even on a date had just barely sank in.
