Okay, sorry for my asks being so close together, but I just found this AU and have so many questions! This one is for Sans. We know what you would do if Papyrus ever attacked Aliza, but what if it was the other way around? What would happen if Aliza succumbed to the Hunger? Would she lash out and attack you and Papyrus? Or would it be different considering she’s half human? If she did become violent, could you handle hurting her to save yourself or your brother?
“…i worry about that every day. i can see the hunger taking her, too, more and more every day… and if i can’t get her out of the underground in time, if she turns like the others, if she can’t cope… i’ll do what i have to do to help her. she’s my little girl… i’d do anything to keep her safe. …even take away her freedom, for her own safety.”
Hey sans, what’s the normal daily routine for you and the family?
“i generally patrol the village, to make sure nothing messed with the defenses during the night and that the trees haven’t moved any closer, pay off the riverperson for the day, then go to get my family up. i wake pap up first, to make sure it’s a good day, help him get dressed if he needs it. get ‘liza up after that, check how far the hunger’s progressed in her, and then we head out to “upkeep the puzzles”. meaning, pap messes around with some of the older traps, my daughter keeps an eye on him and works on some of her own, and i go check mine to see if i’ve caught anyone. if i have, i put ‘em on ice- hang ‘em up in the shed- ‘til night falls, and then collect pap and ‘liza and take ‘em home. pap watches his shows during the afternoon, so i turn on the generator for a little while so he can, and take my girl out to teach her self-defense and magic. give her some reading homework after that, and go out to collect wood for the fire and make sure nothing needs repairs, sometimes go out to the dump to salvage stuff. if it’s a food day, we have dinner after that, i put pap to bed and hang out with aliza for awhile til it’s time for her to sleep… and then i go out to harvest anyone i caught that day. takes a couple hours, and after i’m done with them i clean up and either sit around in the basement or try to find something i haven’t read yet. things change here and there, but most days are like that.”
“to be fair, it was a stupid question. anyone would miss their friends, kid. i’m not totally heartless, even in the metaphorical sense.”
“not personally, no. but there are plenty of friends i used to have that i did. when it’s between them and me, my family and starvation, sentiment doesn’t mean all that much. i do what i have to do to keep my own safe and alive. no matter how much it hurts.”
“you really think i’m not aware? i know everything that goes on in my town; i’ve got to, can’t have vermin sneaking in and taking a bite of my family while i’m away.”
He chuckles, smiling fondly.
“she’s not as sneaky as she thinks she is, just brushing over her footprints with a branch to hide them… but i let her think she’s outsmarted me on this one. it’ll give her confidence, and it’s honestly rather harmless, as far as rebellions go. she’s safe within the walls, and if she needs a bit of a breather, i can’t blame her for that.”
