as ever you are a wealth of delightful trivia.

I have far more snail facts than car facts. Gotta make do with what you've got, right?

maybe stick to snail facts.

Did you know that snails... cannot legally obtain a driver's license?

There. Better?

i did not know that.

...Can skeletons?

Do any of you guys have birth certificates, or social insurance cards, or... whatever?

no need for stuff like that underground.

Plenty of need for it on the surface, though. Can't buy or rent a car without it, unless you're really willing to get shady.

i wonder if they'd even hand things like that out to monsters.

As long as there's a legal excuse like a lack of the necessary identification, they definitely won't. Too bad for Papyrus, I guess. Too bad for anyone who wants to own a home. Too bad for anyone who wants to get hired.

So, you know. Guess your beloved ambassador's gonna hafta get busy.

[Makes you wonder if it's worth it. But, heh. Getting to the Surface doesn't appeal to him, anyway.]

they'll have toriel and asgore to help. they'll have all of us.

"All of us." Not "all of them." Interesting.

What are you going to do, exactly, Sans? Root for them?

[What are you going to do when you get to the Surface? It's a question for children. For babybones. For people who actually believe in things like that. Even in the context of multiple timelines, even in the context of knowing for a fact that sometimes he actually will get to the Surface, he still...hasn't thought about it in a long time. No point in making permanent plans when the Reset could be right around the corner. Once they reach the Surface, all bets are off. The script goes to pieces. Anything could happen.]

[So...]

[What the hell is he going to do on the Surface? All these new problems that he and monsters in general will be facing, that they'll all have to deal with until the Reset. Frisk becoming the ambassador, apparently. Toriel and Asgore could back Frisk up, seeing as they must have experience with...politicking or whatever. Undyne would protect them, Papyrus and Mettaton would probably be the positive faces put to monsterkind. Alphys could handle technical background stuff.]

[And Sans?]

i don't know actually.

Of course you don't.

[Everything Resets, so nothing matters but the present, right? So don't worry about the consequences of your actions, inactions, your threats. Those consequences won't matter, because the Reset will come, and it will wipe them all away.

And so he'll get to the surface, and the consequences of placing the world on a child's shoulders will continue to linger, and he won't do anything. Never does.

No responsibilities. No goals. Nothing to dream about. Nothing to look forward to. No stake in the outcome, except for when he follows every last word and action and stores them away for later.]

Gonna be a problem, isn't that? Frisk's had a change of heart, come clean about their sins, isn't going to Reset. They're going to solve your problem, like they solved everyone else's. They're doing what you want, so how are you going to respond to that?

[This always happens with the two of them, doesn't it?]

[The prospect of the Resets ending isn't something he ever dares think about. If it ever did happen he doubts he'd be able to accept it. He's not sure what he'd do with himself. Which is kind of messed up. A very large part of him wants to Resets to end, and that same part knows that it won't happen. But then there's the part of him that has gotten so used to the routine that he has absolutely no idea what he'd do without it.]

[No more judgments, no more promises, no more golden hallway, no more waking up in Snowdin. Just endless time, stretching out forever.]

[Kind of terrifying.]

[And Frisk? A troubled kid forced to carry an entire species long after the adventure is over? That's an insane amount of pressure. Absolutely unbearable. And yet that's what ends up happening. He hasn't gotten to this whole "ambassador" part yet, and hell, maybe it's meant to be symbolic or something, but it doesn't matter, because Determination will make Frisk throw their whole selves into it, until they break in a way they can't come back from.]

[And this is exactly why he never thinks about the future.]

enjoy your game chara.
