✉MAIL BOX LOCATION: Mailbox on Door
DESCRIPTION: It's a rather simple mailbox that was already built into the trailer. Reira checks it every day! (since you're supposed to, apparently)

Oho! So this is a... [He lowers his voice] gift conspiracy.

[Good thing he didn't call from the trailer, where the flower might be lurking around under pillows. Out here, sitting on top of one of the carnival rides, should be fine.]

Well! I don't honestly know if it's the best. But it's a very good way! Especially if it's a gift they like.

[soft_focus]

Um! I guess so, but is someone listening, because you don't have to whisper if no one else is there.... [Otherwise that just makes things Really Hard Papyrus. Anyway.]

...I wanted to make sure, because...I've never done this! And...you were the one who gave me my first real present, I think. At least one that was supposed to be a present, so it feels like you know a lot about them.

[Absolutely Correct (???).

In any case. If it's a good way, that's good enough. And if it has to be something they like...] Mnhh.... ....Asriel doesn't have a lot of feelings right now, so I don't know what things they might like, but....

[Oh.] Umn.... ....When we were feeding animals though... ....He said he used to wear a striped sweater! ....Well. He said he 'wears one', but he wasn't then, except I didn't want him to realize he wasn't.... [It's a big mess of not wanting the other to get too steamed, really. Regardless.]

....Flowers can have sweaters, right?

[spaghettimonster]

Asriel's a kid?? [This is somehow a surprise.] But it's been so long, hasn't he... aged...?

[Papyrus knows who Asriel is - he's heard the whole story, in fragments back home. And more recently he's heard the whole thing, summarized when Flowey explained to the skelebros why he's here. But Asriel's death was a lot of years ago. Long enough that very few monsters can personally remember him.]

No, I suppose dead flower zombie children don't grow old. [Brightly, with no time to dwell on that, Papyrus exclaims:] Well! Of course flowers can have sweaters. Anybody can!

Unless they're allergic. [To the materials, not to... sweaters.]

We'll just have to be careful about the sizing!

[soft_focus]

I don't know, he thinks so I guess. ...I don't think he's a zombie though, just...a flower? Maybe there's weird things that happened, like how people ended up a different age when the world got 'reset' at home. [That's Very Different Reira.]

....I don't think he's allergic.

...ummmm....how do we get his 'size'..?

[spaghettimonster]

Hmmm, I guess so. Zombies are the bodies, while he's not his old body at all. A... reincarnation? [Nyeheheh.]

But at least that's easier! We know he's narrow enough I could hold his stem with a hand. If it's too big, we can adjust it later!

[soft_focus]

.....Why did you say reincarnation like that.... [Alas. She does not know what carnations Are.

Anyway.] Um! I guess so...do you think he needs buttons, since he doesn't have arms?

Maybe magnet buttons, so they close properly without fingers.

[spaghettimonster]

Oh, it was a play on words.

As for the shirt... Maybe. While I customize my clothing plenty, that's never been a concern... [He has always had hands.] We should ask Carly! She makes clothes for all us weirdos.

[soft_focus]

[A pause.] ....What's a.... 'Carnation' then? [she eventually asks, before pondering the other offer.]

I guess that works, then.... ....do we have to pay for it though?

[spaghettimonster]

A carnation's a flower! Not at all the same kind. [So, really, it wasn't a great joke.]

Mmmmaybe? I don't think she would charge for advice... but she is very busy! And time is money.

[soft_focus]

Oh!! ....That makes sense..!! Since he's a flower... [NO, IT WAS A GREAT JOKE...]

Mnhh...how busy is busy..? [Suddenly Nervous.]

[spaghettimonster]

[There are Better Jokes and he will introduce her to them! But they take a little time to think up, so, later.]

Very? I think she's the only one arranging clothes for everyone! Designing, making, adjusting... [One of the few he thinks is even busier than he, and she has to sleep!]

[soft_focus]

[Oh dear.] .....maybe we should find another way then...

...It's just a sweater for a flower, so...it doesn't have to be hard, right? We could make a tube, and learn how to sew the buttons in after that!

[It's a good thing that Moon Trip is going to be a thing.]

[spaghettimonster]

That sounds like it would work... [And it means it just came from them, which... makes it a more potent gift? Maybe? That sounds like a thing.]

Yeah, okay! Let's learn to knit and perl tubes.

[A very good thing, otherwise it would be... a while in the making.]

fade from here and I can hit him up for snowsculptures-? >0>

[soft_focus]

.........Aren't pearls rocks?

[..........A long while.]
