I’ll take my throne, lay it on a mountain
Who: Our volunteer mountaineers
What: Two parties split up to scale the mountain from two sides, planning to meet at it’s peak. Shenanigans occur along the way.
When: September 13th to 16th
Where: Group 1: G3, H2, G2 || Group 2: F3, F2, G2
Warnings: Please note any warnings in your subject headers!
Word spreads quickly in a small community such as this. What was originally intended to be a small party turned into something much larger- and on the day Chara planned to leave for the mountain, it’s not one, but two parties that make off for it’s peak.

Group 1, led by Chara, moves off during the early hours of the morning, seeking to search the furthest part of the mountain by following the river upwards. The path is longer and more winding- however, they are unhampered in when they can travel.
Group 2, led by Ardyn, takes off after the sun has set- due to the needs of multiple members to avoid the sun’s harsh glare. Their route takes them up the closest side of the mountain, which provides an easier path- however, they may only travel whilst the sun is set.

♆ RNG was happily done blind by our wonderful Guzma mun, with our animals RNG'd by Wade Wilson's! Thank them both for all your misfortune.
♆ Prompts have been provided for each group below! Simply toplevel wherever you wish and treat this like a normal open post!
♆ Since each group will generally be in close contact with one another, consider asking others if you can threadjack here and there; nothing says team-building like being a nosy parker.

How did that go again, Sans? Good food, bad laughs...
"Howie who?"
no subject
By all appearances, he seems content to laze about, do nothing useful, and ask after a strange kid's wellbeing -- all as if nothing unusual had taken place. Unusual stuff like kids he doesn't know somehow being unsurprised by powers he tends to use sparingly, or who know just the one guy on the whole island Sans would trust. Y'know, stuff like that.
Except he does remember, and he doesn't really intend on letting them off the hook. Hell, he could even segue to that right now, but... eh, what's the hurry?
no subject
They had to expect he would bring that up. And of course they did, unruffled by the comment as they stand, stretching their arms out above their head.
"Knock knock."
no subject
OK, so maybe he's underestimated this child a little. And yet, a part of him isn't surprised at all. He turns away from that thought and it's undertones of familiarity, because it's not important enough to think about anymore.
"Who's there?"
no subject
And that's fine.
If he's looking at them, he isn't looking at Frisk.
"Déja."
no subject
"Kinda like that look on your face when I gave you a hand up."
He saw an opportunity, one he was patient enough to wait for.
"So how'd ya know what was up, kid?"
no subject
"Process of elimination. It couldn't be what was attacking us, nor was that man capable of anything at all. It started just after you spoke, did it not?" A logical train of thought. Perfectly acceptable. "And your eye socket changed color. Nor did you deny my accusation, once safe.
"There was never any reason to doubt it wasn't your doing."
With that said, they respond, just as expected.
"Knock knock."
no subject
Sans is all too willing to accept even something that doesn't add up in his own thoughts, because of the sudden, and all-encompassing need to not think about something so trivial, so unimportant anymore. It doesn't matter. Their excuse is plenty. Sans lets it go, while a voice at the back of his thoughts rails against it.
"...Sure," he relents, shrugging. "Who's there?"
The skeleton might even seem like he's over it, if not for the momentary hesitation, the way his dim eyelights sweep down and to the left, weighed down by a guilt he can't place.
no subject
Just don't think about this anymore. Any sense of genuine humor extinguishes completely, unspoken and unshown. They really had to expect this. It's the response they wanted, is it not?
Chara can't blame him for letting them down, this time. Their gaze drops to their hands, looking over their fingernails.
"Deja."
no subject
"There's two things I don't do, kid. Promises and reruns," he says, shrugging even as he kills the joke, "Call it a personal preference. Sorry, pal."
No amount of winks and comically insincere apologies can exactly take the sharp edges off his refusal. It's, uh, kinda mean, actually, and the fact that Sans feels bad about that just means he doesn't do anything about it. He told the kid before, didn't he? There's better people to hang with than him.
"So...
"...Whaddya think is so important, valuable, or dangerous that they gotta lock it up behind a door like this?"
no subject
Perhaps the greatest irony of all, then, is how he doesn't realize the rerun he's already in. Really, he should know better than to make such a claim. The reruns always find him, whether he wants them to or not.
...But fine. It's not funny anyway. Their shoulders raise in a sharp shrug of their own, gaze diverted to the offered distraction. They can't afford to continue thinking about this, anymore.
"Who knows? Some kind of ancient weapon? Treasure?" A huff of laughter. "Maybe an entire civilization. Couldn't we spend forever theorizing?"
no subject
This whole thing -- reruns, promises made and broken and outright refused, changed games and altered memories -- doesn't it ever get old? Does it ever lose it's shine, its appeal? If Sans was any wiser, he'd spare himself the pain of traipsing down the same well-worn paths he has before.
But, ha ha, he's not wise. And the human, despite everything, is still a kid. Sans settles in, finding a place to nestle where the wall meets the floor, hunkers down to tuck his chin almost into the collar of his stained t-shirt.
"Whatever it is, it ain't gettin' us where we wanna be. That's what I think."
cw: suicidal ideation
Or the key to their happiness, which is-
"Or it could kill us. Same thing, for some."
A glance in his direction; their tone remains flippant, but there's still-a change, of some sort. Their words aren't quite as fast, much more carefully thought out.
"What happened to I ain't here long, mister Sans? Did something change your mind?"
no subject
"Eh," he says, without shrugging, "I shouldn't have said that. Just wasn't too happy about bein' shipwrecked.
"Don't read too much into it, kiddo."
no subject
"You're a terrible liar, sir."
Who is he trying to fool, right now? Because they highly doubt it's them.
no subject
Which isn't quite like surrendering already, so much as another deflection. He's serious, at least, about the part where he said he shouldn't have said that. He shouldn't have. They're kids, they don't need to get exposed to that stuff, or, uh, getting stranded on an island inhabited by beasties and carnivorous plants.
"I'm all better now, ok?"
Liar. Well, ok, to be fair, he's better than he was, and that's good enough. "That guy you brought over. Y'know, when I was taking a dirt nap. How do you guys know each other?"
no subject
Haha. The hypocrisy of the statement is ignored- there's a difference, between what they did and what he's doing. There's a difference, in what they both usually do, and what he did.
A small strain of honesty is more than enough to prove something is direly wrong.
"That man? I spooked his pokemon, the first night we were here. He was the first person I came across when I looked for someone to assist you." Propping their chin in their hands, they avoid- thinking of his name. At all. "You live together, do you not? With Newt. It was lucky happenstance."
1/2
This sassy lost child, what the hell.
2/2
But mostly, he's not entirely sure what he'd done to deserve such particular scrutiny. Kids play games, they mess around with friends, they don't... pay particular attention to where grownups live and what they do, right?
Then again, when he was a kid, the only thing that mattered to him was his brother. Not much has changed in adulthood, except for the absence he notices every waking moment, but, eh.
no subject
It's almost like anyone with eyes could figure it out, after multiple weeks of seeing him disappear into the same house. About the only one with any excuse not to is Ignis.
"I organized this expedition, sir. Or did you not notice me and my companion knocking on people's doors?"
no subject
Kid's gotta point. Not one to pass up the opportunity to have a fun jab at himself, he replies, "I must've slept through it. Kinda like how I spent most of the time gettin' up here."
Shamelessly napping while pretending to be a skeletal backpack Wade had to carry around.
He does that too often, but... hey, he hasn't heard Wade complain.
"So whaddya think of 'em? My roomies. Pretty cool, right?"
no subject
So what do you think of my brother? Pretty cool, right?
Regurgitating lines without even trying.
"They're enthusiastic."
no subject
With a little fondness, even.
"Yeah they are," he chuckles, "It's exhausting. Why d'ya think I sleep so much?"
Because he's lazy as shit, and shirks responsibility.
"They both like kids, so you're in luck."
no subject
They wonder-- if he ever spoke about them like this. Perhaps that's too fanciful.
"Of course, it all makes sense now. They're stealing all of your energy through the cunning use of osmosis."
That's probably not how osmosis works.
no subject
"Kid, ain't that above your reading level?" Sans, knowing precisely jack shit about how old human children look, or what an appropriate reading level for them would be, might be taking a low jab at challenging their intelligence, but this is more good-natured ribbing. Besides, rather than just talk about stuff relevant to him, why not give the kid reason to talk about 'em. Even if it's teasing.
"'Sides," he adds, echoing their thought, "That ain't how osmosis works." And then, "You gotta interest in that stuff?"
