This is... a lot to take in. One moment, Papyrus was Underground, and now he's. Not. And so passersby may find this tall, goofy skeleton staring googly-eyed at the sky. Yes, googly-eyed.
"I'VE PINCHED MYSELF AT LEAST TEN TIMES. BUT THIS CAN'T BE REAL, RIGHT?! I MUST BE DREAMING. SOMEHOW. EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR RANDOM BOUTS OF NAPPING!!!" He's... airing his thoughts to no one in particular. But his voice is loud and carries pretty far despite his lack of vocal chords.
And yes, he's gotten the overview! And yes, it's all a lot to take in, but... another world? This fast and this easily? Naturally, millions of questions flood his skull, and the second a stranger passes by.
Well. Enjoy this goofy skeleton nerd scrambling your way.
"TELL ME! IS THE SKY NORMALLY THIS COLOR? I'VE ONLY SEEN HOLOGRAM PROJECTIONS. AND FOOTAGE FROM HUMAN MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES AND... OCCASIONALLY THE ANIMES. BUT ONLY OCCASIONALLY! I'M A SKELETON WITH STANDARDS." If this is real, which it might be. And probably is. Well. Others might be like him! From other worlds. And the sky could be so many things!
And besides, it's a good distraction from his worries about Frisk and Undyne's inevitable clash.
B. Down and Dirty;
Naturally, robbed of his magic, Papyrus was quick to look into the magic academy. Well, that, and the 'scholar' class does suit his more scientific pursuits. Nyeh heh... And it's a good thing, too! Because as he takes on his first real task, with a trusty mop and bucket in hand, one thing becomes crystal clear.
"THIS PLACE IS FILTHY!!!"
So yes. That is indeed a skeleton rushing through the halls, wielding cleaning supplies like a sword and... well, perhaps not a shield. But an ever convenient and portable cauldron?
You might find him waving a soapy mop at wayward, living stains and politely urging them to leave.
Or you might find him... Flailing through the air in a room with zero gravity. Mind the potential soap and water downpour. Papyrus may be experienced with floating, but only on his own terms... or someone else's.
That might explain his next outburst:
"SAAAAANS! YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME. YOUR TIME-SPACE PRANKING SHENANIGANS HAVE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME!" But no response. This 'Sans' person obviously isn't here. "GAH! COME ON. THERE MUST BE SOME WAY DOWN FROM HERE. WHY MUST GRAVITY BETRAY ME NOW?!"
C. Monsters are People Too! Right...?
Papyrus crosses his arms, frowning at the board. "THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT! WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO KILL MONSTERS? ...BESIDES THE HUMANS WHO DECLARED WAR ON US." And the heroes in the human video games and movies. And...
Papyrus sighs, turning to the nearest person. "I BET IF THESE PEOPLE GOT TO KNOW THE MONSTERS, THEY'D SEE THERE ARE PERFECTLY NON-LETHAL SOLUTIONS! PERHAPS THEY JUST HAVEN'T ACTED IN THE RIGHT WAY. OR WOWED THE MONSTERS WITH THEIR IMPRESSIVE COMBAT SKILLS!!!"
There's a hint of uncertainty in his voice. This is all a tad... uncomfortable, to say the least.
