[More sweet, sweet info? Sans is always looking for that.] Sure, not like I'm ever busy. [You can hear the wink.] Want to meet up somewhere or just talk here?
[And Sans will head down to New New Aspen as promised! He's brought burgers, hot dogs, and hot chocolate--truly a quality meal. He perches himself somewhere just slightly unreasonable--using his ring to get himself up onto the top frame of a window--and waits.]
[ maya, in the meantime, just uses misty step -- she's brought ramen and cookies. she's gotten pretty good at teleporting, so she manages to get up there. she's still got the leg brace, but she's doing better. ]
Hi, Sans! Perfect weather for a secret meeting, huh....
New New Aspen's pretty nostalgic, y'know? [Both because it was their first mission and because he's always reminded of Snowden here. He levitates a cup of hot chocolate over to Maya.] Thirsty?
[He's assuming Maya will start talking about what she wants to talk about when she's ready. She's never been shy, after all.]
I've spent some time thinking about it. [Of course, he's not unfamiliar with the idea of multiple timelines, so the former is more alarming to him than the latter.] You got any theories?
I kind of wonder....... if there might be another voidfish, or something else that can do what it does. 'Cause.... I've heard and seen some static. And drinking the juice again hasn't helped with it.
Well, usually there's not just one of any animal, right? [So he wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one other voidfish.] What was happening when you heard static?
First, it was Karsus talking to me over text.... but um, you know how I went to see the Hunger? Will, who is connected to me, went... somewhere else. It fried his brain. And when I tried to help him figure it out, like, see the memory? Static.
[ .... ]
So, yeah..... I think there's a lot we don't know.
Yeah, that keeps coming up. [Not knowing things, that is.] Sounds like it's worth looking into how that stuff works, but I wouldn't be surprised if the real info is in the restricted section.
[Sans is silent for a while, staring at his own cup of hot chocolate, before he answers.]
I don't think she's a bad person, but we know she doesn't tell us stuff if he doesn't think we need to know it right then. [Not that Sans doesn't do the same sorts of things--but maybe that's why he feels like he needs to keep an eye on her on top of his normal low levels of trust.]
If you ask her about the static related just to the Hunger, that might get an answer. [Sans is confident enough that Lucretia is against the Hunger, and Maya's contact with it seems like it qualifies for that need-to-know status.]
Yeah.... that's kind of why I want to put her on the spot. Maybe if I do, she'll cough up something we need to know before we like... experience it horribly.
[ wonderland. ]
Yeah.... I guess it's hard to say how much of it relates to the Hunger, since it's... static and all. Maybe it's all connected somehow.
If we knew how it worked with the voidfish we'd be able to make more accurate guesses. [Though, to be honest, Sans isn't entirely sure how much even the bureau knows about how the voidfish works.]
If you want help putting her on the spot, I was gonna pay her a visit anyway.
Um.. well.... if I'm possessed by the Hunger, basically. Since I lost to it. I don't want it to like, creep on everyone through me or go wild or anything like that.
[ they had the 'please take me out if i'm dangerous' fun talk already, and she's calmed down since then, but he can easily tell she's still nervous ]
[Another pause, as Sans considers how likely he thinks it might be that Lucretia would do something like immediately take Maya out of commission.
He thinks, given how lax Lucretia seems to be with the reclaimers as a whole, the chances are slim. Still a concern--many things are for Sans--but not the top of the concern priority list.]
She might be able to tell you more about it. Rigging up some sort of possession warning system's probably too helpful, though. [Rather, he's pretty sure if the Hunger was that easy to work around, they wouldn't all be here right now.]
[ megalucretiavania plays in the bg ok i will stop. ]
I asked my sis to exorcise me and she did, but.... I don't know. I really don't want to be used by that thing. So.. maybe there's something she can do.

It's strange that we're still missing memories, isn't it? And that even though our worlds were eaten, people can come from later points in time.

Do you think we should tell her? About the static?

We can at least check out how worried she looks when you tell her. [Observe that potentially telling body language.]
