After the last one a lot of people were like “but what if they detached their arms and hid them, then Gaster couldn’t find them” and then I thought hey, why not have Gaster answer that very question, haha. Poor Papyrus, he wasn’t even really following the conversation and he’s the one who gets his arm broken, since he’s the only one who can take damage without dying. :<

Gaster almost never hurts them outside an experiment so this is pretty unusual, but this was the quickest and most effective way he could think of off the top of his head to get this lesson across.



On a related note, it’s not stated openly but Sans comes to the conclusion on his own pretty quick that if he did detach a body part and leave it somewhere and Gaster found it, Gaster could then do damage to that body part and immediately kill him from any distance. Which sort of takes detaching the plate arm and running away off the table, at least for him.

I mentioned in the last one that it could fall at various points in the timeline, and I originally slotted it in not too long after the escape attempt, but on further thought, with this follow-up, it now leads nicely into this one, which then leads into the healing/color cube arc. Continuity! Of sorts.
