Chapter 29; Support Ideas
Sans was chilling outside with Mandalay and Power Loader.
"So what do your blasters do, exactly?"
Sans summed a decently sized, five foot blaster. Said blasty boi was floating around looking for danger. Seeing there was none, it's teeth dulled down into little rounded bumps and it snuggled under Sans's arm.
"My blasters are, to some extent, sentient. If I keep them summoned for a long enough period of time, they start to keep themselves on this plane instead of me. They generally just float around and when I give the command,"
Sans raised his arm, causing the blaster's neon blue eyes to glow and its mouth to open. Sans arm shot down, pointing at a mud beast Pixie-Bob had made for his presentation. The blaster shot its laser and the beast was vaporized.
"The blaster controls how dangerous their laser is, but I'm the one who ultimately has the final say. I can judge my opponent's threat level and adjust their laser accordingly."
"When you say "judge", can you be specific? How do you do this?"
"By looking into their soul of course. Give me one second."
Sans quickly took a shortcut back to his house, where he found Asriel sneaking a cookie off the cooling rack, burning his hands a little before shoving it in his mouth.
"Comedian?"
"Hey bud. Wanna help me explain my "quirk?"
"By doing what?"
"I wanted to show them your soul. That cool with ya?"
"I... Do I even have a soul?"
"Don't know, can I see your ring? The one I made ya?"
Asriel pulled the ring out of his pocket. The stone was an upside down, cloudy diamond heart. Love, indicative of his original Monster Soul. Sans smiled fondly, and pulled Asriel's soul and his own from their chests. Asriel's eyes widened and he nearly started crying with joy.
"Sans? What's going on with your soul?"
"What do you mean? I can't see my soul, what color is it?"
"A swirling white and yellow. Can a soul be two colors?"
"A human one, a Monster soul is always white though...What position is it in?"
"Upside down, like mine. It's just white and yellow."
"What is the dominant color?"
"White. The yellow is very pale and I almost didn't notice it."
"Interesting. Whelp, that is research material for another day. Shall we go?"
"Okay."
Asriel grabbed another cookie, and Sans sat him on his shoulders before using a shortcut to go back to the Pussycat's house.Power Loader nearly choked on his tea when Sans popped back in.
"Mandalay, Power Loader. This is my little bro, Asriel. He's gonna be my presentation for how souls work. Stand still Azzy."
Asriel stood in front of the two heroes and Sans once again pulled his soul from his chest. Asriel's pure white soul shone just as brightly as the diamond on his right ring finger.
"This is a soul. Souls can come in many different colors, and each color has its own traits and meanings. White is the basic color, standing for Love. Thanks Azzy, why don't you head on inside? I'll take you back home in a little bit."
"Okay. Don't take too long, Comedian."
Asriel ran inside the house, eager to explorer the new area.
"Mandalay, can I check you?"
"What's that mean?"
"Think in video game terms,"
Something Sans was relieved to learn about.
"I would be able to see your stats. Your Hp, ExP, and LV."
"Alright."
*You've entered a fight with Sosaki Shino.*
*You check, Sosaki Shino*
*Hp- 473* *Atk- 205* *Def- 327* *ExP- 2* *LV- 1*
*Sosaki Shino Checks Sans*
*Hp- 1* *Atk- 1* *Def- 1* *ExP- 0* *LV- 1*
"I'd appreciate it, if you ask before you Check me. It's considered rude where I'm from."
"That isn't part of your quirk?"
"Nah, that's just something everyone in my town can do. As I was saying before, Hp, ExP, and LV. Hp stands for Hope, ExP stands for Execution Points, and LV stands for Level of Violence. When I check someone, I see a layer beyond that, that no one else is able to. I can see their sins."
Mandalay stiffened and her stare narrowed and grew heavy.
"I look over people's sins and their stats before making my judgment. Mandalay, your stats are great. They're just what I expected they'd be given your heroic career path. Any questions so far?"
"Not about souls or the blasters. I'd like to know about your shortcuts, is it teleportation?"
"No. Mandalay thought the same thing at first. See that tree right there, the one Mina is napping under? I napped there yesterday, so I have already been there. I can bend the distance between here and there by traveling through the void."
"What is the void?"
"Unimportant. So anywhere I've been before, I can go simply by having a picture of it in my mind."
"Alright. I got enough information for some support items. I'll see you after your eye appointment."
"Geez, does everyone know about that now?"
"Yes they do, and you can thank your mother for that."
"She's not actually my mom, you know?"
"You call her mom, and that's good enough for me. You have a good head on you, so I think she's as much as a mom you will ever acknowledge. Same for that blonde one too."
Mandalay and Power Loader sat together, quietly drinking tea and sketching out base designs. Sans found Asriel and Kota and was keeping an. Eye-socket, on them while they played around. Eventually Sans dozed off against the same tree Mina was under. Asriel and Kota curled up under either of his arms and dozed too.
Mandalay was happy her nephew was acting his age and not going around cursing her fellow hero colleges. Sans was, surprisingly good, with kids. He knew how to take care of them, reason with them, have fun with them, and even get them to eat foods they don't like.
Before Sans showed up, Kota refused to drink milk. Sans had him play games with him. If Sans won, Kota would have to drink ketchup or milk, and If Kota won, he got a slice of carrot cake or a piece of candy. Kota has yet to beat Sans in any kind of game, but he never argued against the terms, and Sans still always gave him cake despite the arrangement.
Mandalay kept watch over her interns and two children while they slept in the sun, smiling softly and snapping a picture.
"Majima, what type of weapons or other items are you thinking?"
"For a weapon, I'm thinking a bo staff, a sword, or maybe a scythe? He brought up judgment a few times and it made me think of a grim reaper, sooo."
"Fun, any items?"
"I was thinking of sound canceling boots, so when he teleports -"
"Shortcuts."
"Shortcuts, he lands without making a sound. Also something like night vision or thermal detection goggles for at night. Regardless, these are just base designs. Only Nezu has the final say on Gaster's items."
"Why? He doesn't usually take a stance on support items like this, does he?"
"No typically. He generally lets me do my own thing, except for students he's taken a keen interest in."
"That's something to keep a closer eye on. Clearly, there are some things this young man only told the principal. Thanks for coming down, Maijima. I appreciate it. Dinner's on me next time."
"I'll hold you to that."
Maijima kissed Mandalay's cheek and left for his car. Mandalay kept a close watch over her small litter over a cup of iced tea and a book.
