Handwritten cursive in your notebooks

As much as I am loathe to admit it, we will have to move on from what small bits of safety and comfort this place has brought us. I do believe we should discuss our plans for the coming crossing openly. Consider this a place to drop your thoughts on the idea. Might as well start planning earlier rather than later.

Unless you have a good reason to I strongly suggest that you do not take the crossing alone. There is safety in numbers.

I would like to also get a head count of who all is with us if possible. I have heard about some of us going missing and I find this rather disturbing so I find it pertinent to double check.

The floor is open.

WHAT!!
NOT EVEN PAYMENT IN THE FORM OF COMPLIMENTS OR PRAISE?

[He thought that was what they were operating on, besides maybe a bartering system, given the main source of Stuff anyone might want to buy was most easily acquired from bugging the Ferryman anyway.]

You make a good point! That I can do~ Good job, No. 2!

[There, he’s being a good boss and listening to his underlings employees!]

ALL MY POINTS ARE GOOD!
WHAT EXCELLENT LEADERSHIP TO RECOGNIZE IT.

[They can both play this game, as it would be rude to start the game without reciprocating! But as for the topic at hand.....]

I HEARD THE CROSSING BEFORE WAS, A LITTLE LESS PHYSICAL,
AND MORE ABOUT ANGRY VOICES IN THE DARK.

[Well, that was a pleasant surprise! Most people didn’t praise his leadership skills.] Of course! I’m glad our skills seem to be meshing~ I can be a bit hands off, but you are taking charge quite spectacularly!

As for that Crossing… I remember hearing about that too, vaguely. I wonder if it’s going to be on some sort of schedule. In which case… maybe this time will be less physical?

NYEH HEH HEH, NATURALLY.
IT ISN'T THE FIRST TIME I'VE PITCHED IN LIKE THAT!

[It's not the first time he's found something of a power vacuum with unaddressed needs going on, thanks to Undyne's general reluctance to visit Snowdin frequently - the cold disagreed with her being a fish. He'd been happy to bring the reports in lieu of all the dogs who maybe should have been doing so, seeing it as a foothold into both promotion and friendship.]

AND THAT SEEMS REASONABLE!
ALTERNATING SORTS OF CHALLENGES, TICKING LIKE A CLOCK DOWN TO AMNESIA...

[It was good that the skeleton had experience - Hanako didn’t mind promoting someone without it, but when they all didn’t know much about this place? Having competent spirits (or in this case, a set of bones) was reassuring, in a way.]

See? That statement would probably frighten a lot of people here, but there’s not much left to forget on my end~ It all kind of flows out the window after a few centuries anyway.

[Well, most of it. He still remembered vivid bits, things he didn’t like to think about, but no one wanted to see those, now did they?]

I GUESS THAT MAKES SENSE.
REALLY OLD LIVING PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET A LOT OF THINGS.
AND CARE A LOT ABOUT THE FEW THINGS THEY REMEMBER CLEARLY.

[Or maybe, remember clearly the things they really care a lot about. The cause-effect there was a little ambiguous to him at times, when he hung out listening to the words of Elder Puzzler and some of the other older reminiscing monsters underground.]

CLEARLY IT'S JUST LIKE GETTING OLD!
I'LL BE SURE TO TELL NEW PEOPLE THAT, TO REASSURE THEM.

[toilet_bound]

In contrast, some of the youth are like that too! Holding too tightly to fleeting things. It changes so quickly, doesn’t it~?

[When Hanako has spent over a few decades with school children and their teachers as his only clue to the changing culture, some of his observations can get a bit specific.]

Oh, that’s sure to help! A lot of people expressed worry about aging or not here, so we can let them know they’ll have the experience of growing old without the physical aging! [Probably. At least in his experience that’s how it worked.]
