Day by day, time after time, it's the same thing. The same human, the same battles, the same possible outcomes. When the human child decides to have a bad time yet again, another character appears. He's yellow and triangular-and doesn't seem to be completely foreign to how things work in The Underground either.

This time around, Chara had gotten the best of the human. Again. And Sans was going to try and stop them. Again. And was probably going to fail. Again.

Sans was waiting in the usual place, the last corridor before Asgore's location. Wind howled wildly around the hallway, the curtains flapped and the lights flickered. All of this would've seemed perfectly normal given the situation, except this was the first time any of these happened since the timeline was reset.

Sans blew it off as a strange timing error, but even then he couldn't ignore the glowing triangle shape in the floor.

"HIYA!"

A short floating triangle emerged from the ground, wearing a top hat and bow tie. To make this creature even more surreal, he only had one eye.

"...What the hell are you?"

"GOOD QUESTION. AND A UNIQUE ONE TOO-WOAH HEY, DON'T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF PAL."

Sans was already prepared to fight this thing if he needed to. Of all the timeline reports he had read, they all said nothing about a glowing triangle showing up in the King's castle. Sans already had one hand glowing with his usual blue colored magic.

"THAT'S NEAT. I CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOO, SEE?" The triangle snapped his fingers and his hand was suddenly engulfed in blue flame. Now Sans was scared, he took a step back and prepared to attack.

"HAHA, DON'T WORRY, YOU GET USED TO THE BURNING. ANYWAY, SEEMS YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT LIL OL ME? YOU COULD SAY I'M A MUSE OF SORTS, CALL ME BILL!" He floated down to Sans's height and held out a hand to shake. In response, he took another step back and shoved his hands into the pocket of his jacket.

TO GET TO THE POINT, I'VE BEEN OBSERVING THIS TIMELINE FOR AWHILE NOW. YOU SURE MUST BE FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT, AREN'T CHA?"

"How...? How do you know...?"

"OH I KNOW LOTS OF THINGS, SAY, WHY WAS THE SKELETON SHAKING? C'MON, YOU KNOW THIS ONE!"

A bad skeleton pun. This was getting too creepy. "B-because something had rattled-"

"IT'S BONES! HA! YOU DO HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR!"

"Look, I don't know who or what you are, but I learned awhile ago not to trust small yellow talking creatures, sorry."

Sans tried to banish the mental image of a certain soulless flower.

"OUCH. DISMISSIVE, I BET YOUR BROTHER WOULD'NT HAVE RESPONDED THAT WAY."

Now he had gone too far.

"TO GET TO THE POINT, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HIM AGAIN?"
