'Cause I'm Lonely and I'm Blue

[panspermia]

Where: Wave Boulevard Mall, Spooky Virgo Torture Dungeon

It's been a week since Sans smuggled his fellow musicians from Virgo, contacted allies to let them know he was leaving... and then evidently vanished altogether. It's been two days since articles surfaced talking about his wild bender that ended him up in rehab, and isn't it a shame, let's all keep him in our thoughts.

Sans didn't ever have a whole lot of fans. The guy kept to himself, rarely made appearances, and generally only performed just well enough to justify being in the band in the first place. His legacy would likely be the toc-tic pun memes that would go around for a couple weeks, then fade out into obscurity. People wouldn't miss him.

It's pretty much all that's been on Greg's mind. His friend made a heroic effort, and paid for it. It's his fault. But life goes on, right?

So here he is. Buying flowers for his bedroom. To liven the place up, you know? Add some color, to contrast the blackened char left behind by giant laser blasts. It'll really brighten things up.

By the florist's on the first floor.

The fact that he's here looking at flowers makes Frisk feel softer towards him. It reminds them of their own dad. His garden was about to start blooming for the very first time when they went away.

Mr. Universe doesn't look like he's going anywhere in a hurry, so they slip out from behind the plant and sit on a nearby bench instead, the better to keep an eye on the crowds. No one will notice them except maybe Connie. No one even thinks it's all that funny for a kid to be walking around alone; it's sort of like the Underground like that.

First floor florist- that's easy and relief blossoms in her chest as she does a quick check of the map. It only takes a few minutes before she sees the other, waving her hand energetically. "Hey!"

Just two kids being kids, meeting up at the mall! Totally normal.

Plopping down besides Frisk, Connie keeps her head down as she glances around for Greg. "So what's the plan?" she asks quietly. "I can be a fangirl, but do you want me to ask anything in particular?" She has a feeling she knows what this is about, considering what's happened recently, but it doesn't hurt to check up with her now co-conspirator.

Frisk pops up to wave back at Connie, but doesn't speak until she's next to them. Even then, they're quiet enough that only she can hear their voice - even she may have to strain.

"I want to ask about Sans."

Of course. For the rest, they take out their phone to quickly text. I've talked to him before, but he doesn't know who I am. Do you think he would trust you enough to tell you anything?

The part about Sans isn't surprising, so Connie doesn't even blink there. Leaning in a bit to read their phone, she gives a confident nod.

"We talked in the dreams before, although I don't think that stuck. But I'm sure I know him well enough to get him to trust me." If nothing else, she thinks he'll definitely agree with her on things regarding Steven. Maybe that can lead into her getting him to agree on Sans, too.

"Just where Sans is and what happened to him?" Connie doesn't trust the local news' idea of events at all.
