SEVEN VICES, WEEK 1, MONDAY AFTERNOON

[takanome]

The motive announcement has taken a golf club to the knees of Takao's morning workout routine. Now that the questions are asked and answered and hours (well, according to that dumb new clock, barely an hour and a half) have passed, the original logic has been lost to "running before breakfast" (with breakfast consumed), let alone the pool after that. Going in the completely chlorinated water when the mere air around him is a little like molasses - nah. Might as well run outside, get his blood pumping louder (it's already audible) with the thrill of the chill.

And before long he sees Undyne on the rooftop. He stops with his hand on his hip and feels like he spends a long time regarding her before drawing the conclusion to let out an amicable call.

"How are you doing up there?"

[What do you mean training on rooftops isn't a thing WELL IT SURE IS NOW. Undyne stops in the middle of practicing dramatic poses REAL AND LEGITIMATE EXERCISING to squint down at whoever's calling up at her.

Ugh. Human. She's trying to keep an open mind here thanks to Papyrus and his stupid challenges, but she still sounds pretty suspicious when she shouts back down.]

Fine, I guess. Why?

[takanome]

[He shrugs the same way Sans does, with both arms out, to convey the gesture better to someone all the way up there. Hey, she's missing an eye, he can't make himself hard to see.]

Just wondering. It would be really hard for me to get up there! How did you do it?

[detanimetion]

I climbed, duh! [Which is already kind of embarrassing to admit since back home she could have jumped onto that roof without breaking a sweat.] You telling me you can't even do that? [HUMANS....]

[takanome]

Well, I could climb-- [LIKE MOST ATHLETIC HUMANS UNDER DURESS] --it just wouldn't be easy. [He raises his squishy hands, vaguely pokes a palm with a thumb.] Do the scales make it easier for you to grip or something?
