[The feed picks up at the end of an epic battle!]

NOW, FINISHING BLOW WITH YOUR SPECIAL ICE BEAM ATTACK! [Arial the Lapras complies! That Pidgeot spirals and crashes! Victory!]

D-Darn it! My dad's cherished Pidgeot...!

NYEH-HEH-HEH-HEH-HEHHHH! THE GREAT PAPYRUS PREVAILS AT LAST!

Well, you've earned the ZEPHYR BADGE. It was a good battle.

[Papyrus accepts his shiny new badge!]

WHY, THANK YOU! IN FACT, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU AS WELL! [Papyrus hands Falkner a big binder, stuffed with papers and diagrams.]

What...

I HAVE COMPILED SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS, DETAILS, AND BLUEPRINTS FOR GYM PUZZLES FOR YOU! YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THEY ARE ALL BIRD OR FLYING BASED, AND DETAIL HOW TO BUILD AND SOLVE THEM! I DO HOPE THAT YOU TAKE THEM TO HEART AND UPDATE YOUR GYM! EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD PUZZLE! WELL, EXCEPT REALLY WEIRD PEOPLE! BUT THERE'S HARDLY ANY OF THOSE AROUND!

...Get out of my gym.

[Luckily, Paps was all ready on his way out.]

GOODBYE! I DO HOPE TO SEE SOME PUZZLES IN USE IN THE FUTURE!!!

[[ooc- BOLDED is Falkner. He is very done.]]

MY BEST HUMAN FRIEND, FRISK LOVED SOLVING MY PUZZLES! SOMETIMES WE DO THE JUNIOR JUMBLE TOGETHER!

Junior Jumble? Isn't that just Jumble? Gosh, when was the last time I got to do that...definitely a while ago! But it's a lot of fun! I didn't realize it could be a group activity!

IT'S DEFINITELY THE MOST DIFFICULT OF NEWSPAPER PUZZLES! NOT LIKE THAT SILLY CROSSWORD!

[Huh. So does that mean he's really good at crosswords? Interesting.]

I happen to like both quite a lot - and any puzzle, actually. Do you regularly make puzzles?

ANOTHER PUZZLE ENTHUSIAST! JHOTO IS AMAZING!

*AHEM* BUT OF COURSE I DO! I CREATED AND MAINTAINED ALL OF THE PUZZLES IN SNOWDIN!

It really is! I can't say there's a person I've talked to so far that I don't like!

[A smile. She doesn't know what or where Snowdin is but she assumes they had a LOT of puzzles.] Interesting! Do you specialize in a certain kind?

MY MOST POPULAR IS TURNING X'S TO O'S AND THEN HITTING A SWITCH! IT'S MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT APPEARS I ASSURE YOU!

Hmmm...I'm having trouble imagining it. It's not a puzzle you can do on paper, I suppose?

OF COURSE YOU CAN! [Papyrus scribbles out a quick "maze" with Xs along the way you have to hit.]

SEE? MAKE THE X'S O'S AND THE SWITCH AT THE END!

Huh...but it seems like you could do that fairly easily on a piece of paper. Is it more of a physical puzzle, like you'd find in a dungeon or a temple?

IN THE SNOW, ACTUALLY!

So you do it outside! And then, once you've changed all the X's to O's and hit the switch, what do you get for solving the puzzle?

THE PATH TO THE NEXT AREA OPENS, OBVIOUSLY!

Huh! That sounds...oddly familiar.

[Please tell her this guy isn't from a session of Sburb PLEASE]

By any chance, this doesn't have to do with any games, does it? It's just...puzzles for the sake of making travel a bit more engaging?

GAMES ARE FOR BABY BONES! MY PUZZLES ARE FOR DEFENSE!

No, I mean like...a video game, specifically, but played in person and not on a machine.

OF COURSE NOT! ALL OF MY PUZZLES ARE 100 PERCENT ORIGINAL!

Oh!

[Is that relief in her expression? It sure is.]

That's good to hear! In that case, I'd love to hear more about puzzles from such an expert puzzle-maker!

NYEH-HEH-HEH! IT'S GOOD TO FIND A FELLOW ENTHUSIAST! WHICH PUZZLE SHOULD I TELL YOU ABOUT?

Golly, anyplace is great to start! Hm...I suppose...besides the one that turns X's to O's, what other puzzles have you made?

I ALSO HID A SWITCH TO LOWER SPIKES ON A PATH AND THEN HID THE CLUE UNDER SNOW!

I see...I guess it must be a bit difficult to set up puzzles like that without any snow here.

I'LL JUST USE DIRT INSTEAD!

...Or you could make smaller puzzles on paper?

PUZZLES CAN ONLY TRULY BE APPRECIATED IN ALL SIZES!
