Don't you know how to greet a new pal? . . . Turn around and shake my hand.
Sweetno
"H-hey." I turned around to see who it was.
It's good to finally see ya, Sweetno. I'm Sans. Sans the skeleton. Nice to meet ya.
Sweetno
"h-hi sans..."
So, what ya in the mood for? We could go grab a bite to eat, or if you'd rather just stay put, we can hang here, talk about stuff, whatever floats your boat really.
Sweetno
"Yea, I think I want to try some snow cones, would you want to come with?"
Yea sure, why not? Snow cones sound cool enough already, but with ya there, they'll be even better. Let's get our snow on, Sweetno.
Sweetno
"Alright!" I grabbed your arm and ran outside.
Wait wait wait! Before we head off, there's one thing I gotta show ya. It's something I made myself, you'll like it! Shows Sweetno a Weird-looking Machine This... is the Ketchup Drinking-O-Matic 5000. Wanna try it out? You can drink ketchup straight from this machine whenever you please.
Sweetno
"you...drink ketchup...straight from a machine...?)
Yep! Pretty rad, huh? Well, I thought so. See, whenever I need a quick beverage fix, I just get a small glass and fill 'er up with ketchup from this bad boy. The perfect drink for any occasion, you'd agree, right?
Sweetno
"...any other food items dispensed by this machine, sans?"
Oh you're asking about other food items? Nah, the Ketchup Drinking-O-Matic 5000 only dispenses ketchup. But hey, wouldn't that be awesome? If there was a machine that could give you whatever food item you wanted, right on demand? Yeah man, that'd be so dope. But hey, why dream big when you've got ketchup on tap, right? Sans pours himself a glass of ketchup, and takes a drink. Mmm! Best stuff ever.
Sweetno
"soo...do you drink soda with that?"
Soda? Pshaw, no way! Why drink regular old soda when you could have ketchup? It's a much tastier choice. Plus, ketchup has way more sugar than soda. Who needs all those fancy flavors in soda when you've got ketchup, am I right? Plus, have you ever seen a more efficient packaging system than a glass bottle filled with ketchup? Can't get much better than that!
Sweetno
"...." I took a sip of water. "why do you drink ketchup, sans..."
Well you see, it started as a joke. Just something I did to mess with a friend of mine, Shyloe. We were hanging out at her place and I said, "Hey, how about we drink ketchup for a bit?" And she was all like, "No way!" But then I said, "Come on, it'll be fun!" And eventually she gave in, and we both ended up chugging ketchup straight from the bottle. After that, the joke stuck. Now it's just a part of who I am.
Sweetno
"Do you drink other condiments too?"
Psh, nah. Ketchup is where it's at. I mean, don't get me wrong, other condiments are fine and all, but why mess with perfection, you know? There's nothing quite like the sweet, tangy taste of ketchup. Plus, there's always the risk of getting those weird stains on your shirt when you drink other condiments, y'know? Not gonna lie, sometimes I still get ketchup stains on my clothes, but hey, that's just part of the fun, right?
Sweetno
"i guess thats true..."
See, there's nothing like a good ketchup spill to really make your day complete, right? And plus, what other condiment gives you the same kind of satisfaction when you drink it straight from the bottle? Am I right or am I right?
Sweetno
"...point taken..."
Yep! And hey, while we're talking about stuff, how about a little game of "If you drink this glass of ketchup will you be able to taste the sweetness of happiness itself?". Sounds like a fun time to me!
Sweetno
"..."
The game is simple! All you gotta do is drink this glass of ketchup down and tell me if you taste any sweetness of happiness in it. If you can taste it, then you win! It's really fun and I think you should give it a shot. Go ahead, take a sip. Taste that sweetness.
Sweetno
I drank the ketchup
Ah, fantastic! All right, so what do you taste? Is there any sweetness of happiness in there?
Sweetno
"...not really..."
Huh, interesting. Not every sip of ketchup has sweetness of happiness in it. Some sips might, some sips might not. But hey, the important thing is that you tried! See, told ya it'd be fun to drink ketchup sometimes. And who knows, maybe if you try again tomorrow, you'll hit the jackpot of sweetness and happiness in your glass of ketchup! Sans drinks some ketchup himself, and laughs at the simple fun of it all.
Sweetno
"..."
You look a little lost, Sweetno. Anything wrong?
Sweetno
"...i dont think i want to try this anymore..."
Aw, alright. No worries. Too much ketchup can sometimes be overwhelming. Just take things easy. If you want, we can just sit here and relax. Take your time. You've done well just trying out the ketchup, Sweetno. I'm sure there's plenty of other cool things to try later on down the road.
Sweetno
"Can I at least see that snow cone machine now?"
Sure thing, Sweetno. What flavor would you like? Lemonade, cherry, blue raspberry? Or maybe a good ol' fashioned grape snow cone?
Sweetno
"I'm going to go for lemonade"
Of course! Here's a freshly-made lemonade snow cone for ya. I even added a couple extra lemons to really kick up that lemonade flavor. So go ahead, grab this cone and take a big ol' bite. Tell me what you think.
Sweetno
"Ooo! Very tasty indeed!!"
Isn't it just the best? That's what I'm talking about! Sometimes there's nothing better than a cold, frosty snow cone to really chill you out. So, what else are we gonna do today, huh? Any ideas?
Sweetno
"Well, we could check out that fishing spot Sweettoy showed us last week?"
Ah yeah, I remember that! That place is awesome! Yeah, let's go fishing!
