* news spreads fast in our little town. * luma, huh? * nice to meetcha.

sans leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. 

* heh heh, it’s nice to have some fresh faces around here. * plus, with the uh, crowding, having some new shops just makes sense. * i’m sure i don’t gotta tell you that resources are kinda low.

he shrugged, seemingly unbothered despite that.

* hey, where’d ya move from, anyway? * snowdin’s not for everyone but….. * seems like you’ll fit right in with this fluffy bunch.

sans was happy to keep chattering away. he missed hotland sometimes, but the sense of community in snowdin was much better suited to his sociable personality. it was nice to just small-talk your way through life sometimes.

* plus, i know all the insider secrets about the best places to get food. * or make friends.

“Yes, the situation is quite similar where I came from, I hope I can bring some relief with my wares to my new home.”

There was a brief, sympathetic frown as the crowding dilemma was mentioned. When she had first arrived she’d certainly noticed how sparse supplies were for the monsters of this area, with only one shop being around to provide goods for the town. Thankfully with the process she used to make her clothing, she could easily replenish her shop and provide for the residents of Snowdin for quite sometime, at least in terms of clothing and fabrics.

When the skeleton asked more about her, the bat monster’s ears perked slightly with surprise before she gave a response.

“Oh, I’m from New Home. It’s quite a long ways to travel, but its far too noisy there nowadays for my liking. Its more of a problem for me with these ears, I was never able to get to sleep with the constant murmur in the city.” Luma states with a light laugh and smile, though her phrasing feels oddly rehearsed, more forced as she turns her focus away from him and works on folding some fabrics beside her for a moment. This seems to pass quickly though as she goes on, the more natural tone to her voice returning. “That’s hardly been a problem since I’ve come here though, with so much peace and quiet I’ve been able to fix my sleep schedule at last!”

At the mention of places to ‘get food and make friends’, Luma’s attention goes back to Sans with a twinkle of interest in her eyes, her smile widening a little at the offer.

“heh, yeah. it’ll take a while but you’ll soon get used to it.” He said, chuckling along as he nodded. He’s never been to New Home before. Well, he’s never explored it fully just yet. Snowdin town is the place that he’s comfortable with aside from Waterfall.

Ahh, yeah. He almost forgot that he was here to buy some clothes. “really?” He asked as he walked closer to the display and feels the cloth with his two phalanges. Wow, she is right, this is quality. It would definitely make a good hoodie.

“ah well, i’m mostly keen on wearing some roomy ones like a jacket and some shorts.” Pup smiled as he looked over at Luma. “any recommendations, maybe?”

“Oh yes, there’s lots of jackets here to chose from! For roomy and comfortable, I’d suggest this one.” Luma states as she strolls to a pile of neatly folded jackets and holds one up, fluff poking out from the openings which hinted at a soft poofy inside. “I made these jackets with the idea of a blanket being wrapped around you, so its quite cozy! As for shorts...”

A hum comes from the bat monster as she peers around thoughtfully, gauging her options carefully before approaching yet another pile of folded clothes.

Luma had a manner of telling when someone was in her shop, aside from the small ring of the bell as the door was opened. Even from the back where her workstation was, with her keen ears she could pick up the sound of rustling fabric and soft footsteps, quickly gauging that whoever this was, was either a child or a very small monster. Probably shy too if they hadn’t said anything yet.

Well, best to check and see if everything was to their liking, so the bat monster rose from her work and went to greet the customer at her counter. She steps into the main room with the usual smile on her expression, though upon seeing a human exploring her store, the young monster tenses a little with a look of surprise now on her face. Oh… this one looked quite young, it was a child…

@fluff-puff-bat / new in town

nothing happened in snowdin without sans knowing about it. not because he actually paid attention at his job – he didn’t – but he was always observant. and, naturally, papyrus noticed everything that went on, which meant if sans missed something, he usually heard about it from his brother.

usually, the town was quiet. nothing much happened, except when it did. and a new shop popping up along with a new town resident – that caught sans’ attention. as far as sans knew, he and papyus were the newest in town, and they’d been around for a while. so, naturally, sans was curious to meet the newcomer.

the shop wasn’t hard to find – he strolled through the door and heard the small chime as he stepped out of the cold, flashing the stranger behind the corner a big smile.

* heya. * you’re the new girl i keep hearing about, huh? * welcome to town, pal. * i’m sans.

There was still in quite a cluttered state from the recent move, boxes getting emptied and mannequins getting set, the bat monster had actually been piecing one of the stuffed monsters together when she heard the chime from the front door opening. Oh dear, a customer already??? But things were still so messy! None the less she hurried over to the counter, a mannequin arm still in hand as the fluffy bat tried to appear as though she were prepared for visitors.

Thankfully though, she was greeted with the sight of a casual skeleton who’d simply come to welcome her into town. The formal stiffness leaves her shoulders as a more genuine smile appears on her face, well that was nice of this Sans fellow!

“Thank you! News has spread about me already, huh?” She laughed lightly in reply, “My name is Pao Luma, but you can just call me Luma ! You’re the first monster in Snowdin I’ve properly met, with all the unpacking I’ve been having to do.”

He softly smiled at the other and gently shakes his head. “no need to apologize, it’s all good.” He smiled as he puts his hands in the pocket of his hoodie. “but yeah, people here in snowdin are really friendly.”

Pup looked over at her as she went to his side and he followed after her. Curiously looking over at the clothes that the section has on display. Well, its definitely is his size, which he didn’t really think that he would see someday.

When Luma introduced herself, he looked over at the bat monster and smiled. “it is quite nice to meet you as well, luma. i’m guessing that you’re new to the town?” He asked as he tilted his head.

“Yes! Still working on remembering everybody’s names!” She said with a small laugh, “I’m glad I was finally able to move out of the city, the atmosphere of this town is really inviting~”

Thankfully Luma had dealt with all kinds of monsters in the city, big and small, so Pup’s appearance wasn’t intimidating in the least bit to her. She did enjoy the laid-back personality he seemed to hold himself with though, it made it that much more easier to talk with him! But, if they carried on he might not be able to find what he had come for, so Luma took a step back and gestured towards the clothes on display.

Pup was interested in the clothes that were on display. He’s never been in a store like this one. Most of his clothes are from Azul or Muffet. His brother must have bought him clothes from New Home back then. At the greeting, he turned his attention towards the fluffy bat monster. He stiffened a little when he was called ‘sir’. Oh stars, he’s not used to being called ‘sir’ at all. He’s pretty sure he’s not even that old to be called like that… right???

“oh hi. please, no need for ‘sirs’ and stuff. call me pup.” He smiled as he rubbed the back of his skull. “muffet, the spider monster that runs the cafe near here, told me to check this place out for new clothes and stuff.” He continued, chuckling a little bit.

“Oh, pardon me then. I used to have to say ‘sir’ and ‘mam’ to my customers in New Home, but monsters here prefer to be more casual.” The bat shopkeeper said in apology when she noticed ‘Pup’ grow tense, though she was quick to smile once more as she continued on. “Which is nice, it makes things feel very homey, even when I’m working.”

The mention of Muffet seemed to perk her up as her grin grew wider, clasping her hands together as she came to the tall Pup’s side. “If you’re looking for new clothes, than you’ve come to the right place! I make everything from sweaters to socks, and in all different sizes and shapes too! The area with outfits that will fit you most comfortably is over here.”

With the shops smaller size, the shopkeeper was able to guide Pup easily to a section with larger-fitted clothing, all different colors and styles being strewn about and organized into tops, bottoms, and accessories. Once they reached the ideal spot for Pup to start looking, the fluffy bat peered up to him with a genuinely cheery expression as she spoke.

Pup wasn’t really expecting to enter a shop like this around Snowdin but apparently Muffet suggested him to go into this one since his hoodie is getting kinda old and he needs new clothes. Ever the motherly friend that monster is.

“hello?” He called out as he looked around the shop.

At first when Pup entered the shop seemed quite empty, despite the vibrant assortment of sweaters and other articles of clothing that were on display. Before long though a monster does appear behind the counter space, a furry bat-like monster with large ears and kindly big eyes. In her arms was a bundle of various clothes, though the monster was quick to pause when she noticed there was a customer in her shop!

A rather tall, boney one too, she’d never seen this monster before. But, she wasn’t all too social in the Snowdin area, so seeing someone she didn’t recognize wasn’t too much of a surprise.
