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.

"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!"

"And he's someone you have to be nice to or you'll never get your staff back!"

"He took his staff..?!" THIS IS REALLY SERIOUS, apparently.

From Susan, it's back to Lauren, with an almost pouting frown. "Of course he's a skeleton! But he wasn't anything with meat on it before, he's always been that way! I mean I don't get it either, since that would mean his parents wouldn't have had organs either, which means somehow they just sort of made this skeleton without anything, but he definitely isn't undead, he even said that he was a 'monster' and not 'undead', so I think maybe it's like duel monsters, or maybe something else... ...actually, come to think, I've never seen him with his shirt off, so maybe there COULD be something under there..."

...This is a matter she should clearly not have started putting thought into. "Hmmm!! Maybe you can see it when he puts on this new shirt..."

Lauren just gives her a look, a look that clearly says he has no interest in any part of this conversation.

"So you'll make the shirt?"

"I don't wanna see a naked skeleton, that's weird." Not that any of the rest of it wasn't weird, but Susan just takes it in stride.

Amid all this, she's still been muttering- "Actually, come to think, there was that one time, and it really was just ribs..."

There's a cough, and she nods. "I'll make the shirt..! It'd be rude not to! ...But!" Uh oh. "On one condition!"

Uh oh.

Susan smiles widely when she says she will, only to not when she continues.

"What's the condition?"

There is a continued frown at Lauren. "...You're too cold!"

She leaves it at that for a few seconds, managing to keep that frown up while she's at it-eventually, she does continue however. "And you don't understand people at all..! You were even going to leave without asking for that t-shirt, I just know it!" He really was, probably. She thinks.

"So, when you get that staff back...you have to come back here, after I'm done my shift for the day, and HAVE A DAY OF FUN!"

These are not words that should be spoken so seriously!!!

What the hell kind of condition was that?

"A day of fun? Doing what?"
