Who: Susan, Lauren, and Carly
When: Day 10
Where: the costume tent
What: Susan and Lauren have a quest.

Susan wasn't entirely sure if the costume tent would have what they were looking for, but it seemed the most logical place to look. If they could make flashy costumes for people to perform in, then something like a "t-shirt" would probably be easy, right? That's what he hoped, at least, since otherwise it seemed that Lauren wouldn't be getting his staff back any time soon...

Plus, even if they didn't find what they were looking for, Susan was excited to check the place out. He's explored a lot of the carnival, but not everywhere yet, and so he's definitely looking forward to it as he runs ahead of his brother as they head towards their destination, his familiar trailing behind with Lauren.

For his part, Lauren steps back instantly at the sight of the flames. His first thought to protect Susan, he turns again to face Carly, desperately wishing he had his staff. She doesn't have a weapon, and she doesn't seem to be advancing, but still.

"Susan." he calls, hoping his brother gets the point and steps away from whatever Carly calls herself. Dark Signer, Undead, it didn't matter. She clearly could not be trusted.

"If you're smart you'll back down now before anybody gets hurt."

"I- I-"

She sputters, steadily growing more red-faced. Threats or no, the fact remains- "I didn't mean it..!! I only started learning this, sometimes it just shows up!!"

That wall is definitely Not Vanishing. "It's really hard to figure out you know, I can still barely make a little candle light or a hand light, and I guess sometimes I can make it stick to my wings but whenever it's a wall it's really not when I want it at all and-"

It may be wise to interrupt the frantic bird woman.

Susan definitely understands magic that doesn't do what he wants, even if it's not normally quite like this, and so even though he's definitely still wary, he doesn't attack (yet). Instead he does take a step back, towards Lauren; even unarmed, his brother can still help him out.

"If Lauren doesn't want to talk to you any more, he doesn't have to!"

"If-" Well, since Lauren is staying rather quiet, it's evidently Susan she'll be talking to, and her stuttering is not calming at all. "O-Obviously that's the case, but that doesn't mean I can suddenly control this you know..!!"

Normally Lauren could cast a water spell to make the fire go away, but he can't use his magic now. Susan still looks back at him, hoping he has an answer, before turning back to Carly.

"If you're not trying to do it then it should stop! Mine always stops really soon after..."

Well that's.

That's a shame. "S-seriously..?" she protests, half drooping and half incredulous. "That's not fair at all, that would make this way easier..!! I normally have to wait for it to go away, I even locked myself in my trailer with this once!"

It was very sad, and many people laughed.

"Are you saying we're just stuck here until the spell randomly dissipates?!"

Susan looks between the two of them again; he knows Lauren won't like it, but...

"Then, maybe you should talk! We did come here for a reason..."

"Y-Yeah!" Exceeeeept Lauren looks very angry and she's not really sure about this any more... "O...or I... could just grab everyone tea...from the minifridge..."

...She really doesn't like when this happens.

"Fine." he just crosses his arms in front of him again, glaring at the ground.

"I don't care."

He's just going to ignore Lauren, then, since his brother is going to act like the immature one for now.

"I'd like some tea..."

"....Y...Yeah..." The girl's wings fold, and she nods, distracting herself with that task. The tailor's area is at least fairly large-so that's one thing to be counted on-but her expression is, puns intended or otherwise, quite dead when she returns with each can. They're chilled and colourful, and staring at them makes her think of things she can't look upon fondly any more in this moment.

Even the happiest memories feel sad right now. "Here-it's green tea, but it's sweet..."

He takes the can, quietly staring at it and wondering how you're supposed to drink through metal.

"Thank you."

It doesn't look like tea, and so Susan looks at his quizzically, but that's okay. There's more important things to talk about.

"Um, we have a question... Can you make shirts?"

-FTST-

She doesn't really feel like drinking it, but she did bring a can for herself at least. Popping the tab, she holds the can to stare at it for a little, before jumping at the question. "Mnh? T-shirts..? ...Of course! I'm supposed to make costumes for everyone here, or even just normal clothes if they need..!"

wait

"...You came here for a t-shirt.?"

Oh. You pull the lid or, push it in? He tries missing with the tab and eventually manages to get it open. Oh. Strange. Why not just use a glass bottle? People in this place were very odd sometimes.

"We need a shirt to give the skeleton."

"And it needs to say 'wolf bread' on it! It's really important."

"A skeleton..? Which one?" Well at least she's drinking that drink now. But.

.............

"..............wolf...bread.. ..?"

"The warden. He want's a shirt that says something that doesn't make sense."

"And that's what it has to say... He said so himself, because that's what the shirt said in the "I'm sorry" picture I drew!"

"'I'm sorry' picture..?" There is a very confused look toward Lauren now.

"...What on earth did you do..? I get mad at Sans all the time and he never made me do something like that..!"

Lauren rolls his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, all that matters is we need a shirt!"

"...You weren't the only person Lauren did something dumb to."

Wh-

"S-Seriously..!? He's not even undead!"

~~But he's a skeleton????~~

"He's a skeleton!"
