[ First of all: Papyrus gets the first ever video reply from Sherlock Holmes, so he should be considerably proud about that much. Second of all, when the screen finally clicks on, Sherlock is quite obviously somewhat startled.

As much as he knew he'd be coming his way (seeing as he is, in fact, bees - obviously), he didn't actually expect him to be a talking skeleton.

He really should have expected it. He recovers quickly enough and nods once, squinting into the camera with interest. ]

That depends on who's asking.

[If only he knew just how lucky he was to be graced with this. Maybe if Sherlock told him, he'd be more appreciative. Like meeting an old monk from a far off temple or something.

Instead, he's beaming brightly as Sherlock answers, because he is totally used to those confused looks by this point. Clearly, they have never seem a skeleton monster before!]

My name is The Great Papyrus, and I was sent here by someone named "B"! They said you could help me pay someone with favors!

_{[ So very lucky. Unfortunately, nah. No one shall ever know of this truly momentous occasion.

For a skeleton, you're awfully chipper.

Actually, that kind of gives him an idea. ]}

What kind of favours? I imagine you're looking for a premium account. I don't give them out to just anyone, so you'll need to prove your worth.

_{[ Maybe by letting Sherlock experiment... on you... ??? ]}

Yes!! That's exactly what I'm looking for, and to do! I can prove my worth!! Just tell me what I have to do! I have a very impressive background!! For example- I was personally trained the the Head of the Royal Guard in the Underground! That's worthy-sounding, yes??

[ But honestly, the "personally trained" is really just that she taught him how to cook. She didn't think he could handle being a real fighter. He was... just too nice. ]

_{[ ... Impressive is not the word Sherlock would use. Seriously, everything about him says 'unenthused'. He's practically looking into the camera with boredom written across his face.

Which is definitely some killer acting on his part, because he's very interested in you, Papyrus.

You are... quite a marvel. ]}

I'm assuming you're currently in between employment, yes? Why should I give you anything at all? What do you expect to bring to the table? I'm a difficult man to please; either you offer me something worthwhile or you strike up a deal. Which is it?

I'd be willing to give you a premium account on the grounds that you pay me in full, with interest, the moment you secure yourself a job.

[ And, regardless of Sherlock's attempt to act bored, Papyrus acknowledges none of it. Is he just that oblivious? Is he ignoring it on purpose? Who knows!! Time won't tell!!]

Oh! Yes, that, I'll do that! Pay you in full, with interest! I promise, I can do it! I won't let you down!

[ ... Papyrus, you're making him feel like a dick for being such a hard ass.

But, uh. Money's money, so. :) ]

Then you have yourself a premium paid.

_{[ /Achievement Unlocked sound as BOOM. You're now a premium member of DearStalker. ]}

Enjoy. Oh, and this series of video logs will be acting as your contract, so be sure to live up to your word.

[surprise, his job in hell is to make y'all feel guilt for taking advantage of the most pure being in the world.]

Of course! I wouldn't say I'd do this if I didn't mean it! And I really do!

[ hey, he's getting what he wants, isn't he? Sherlock's not actually going to screw him over, provided he keeps his promise! ]

If anyone asks you where you got all of those bells and whistles for your communicator, feel free to send them my way. Although... keep this between us, yes? I'm not running a charity.
