Papyrus is... probably mostly uninjured, physically-speaking. There's a yet-to-be-backtagged thread where he might have gotten a tiny bit possessed and an angel might have laid some smackdown, but he's at least a few days of recovery in.
He's rockier than ever, with crystals protruding along his spine and joints. Thanks to his demonic affiliation, those crystal growths added a hook to his tail.
Emotionally speaking, he's been better. The pleasant demeanor he usually strives for, the way he's always trying to put a positive spin on things and smile about it, that's a little bit askew. He's more distractable, and contemplative, than usual.
Things Papyrus is up to:
☠ CLEANING, it's like this place have been abandoned for a month.
☠ TRAINING WITH COOLBONE, who has evolved into an Alolan-style Marowak! They'll probably do most of this training in a nearby flower field, where he has no official responsibility for cleaning it up.
☠ WRESTLING WITH PERSISTENT MEMORIES, between the various nonsense that went down during this last month, that incident Sans got him talking about, and... the strange familiarity of his human version's dad, complete with the now-recognizable feeling of retconned memories. Maybe he'll even talk to his brother about that. Maybe. Or he might just talk to himself about it as he walks up and down mountains, at an easily eavesdroppable volume.
☠ GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE, newbies and people he hasn't gotten to know so far alike. Listening to other peoples' issues is a great way to get perspective! And also not dwell on the questions he's still stuck on.
☠ MAKING TROUBLE™ by going to the Ringmaster to champion for the cinder spirits and their potential to be better people. And chatting about it with others, accidentally reminding people that she too is a fae with extremely controlled slaves, for all that she doesn't give them that treatment until they cross major major lines.
