 Papyrus is unemployed; Sans is the sole provider in the skelebro household.

This phone call should straighten things out: U: Papyrus... why do you live in an icy wasteland? P: THE RENT'S CHEAP. U: Really? Don't you live in a huge house? P: YEAH, BUT MY BROTHER PAYS FOR IT. U: Where's your brother get the money to pay for it...? P: OH, THAT'S SIMPLE. IT'S A MYSTERY.

This also means that the puzzles set up before Snowdin are from Papyrus's own volition - no one's paying him to puzzle and jape you. They're also specifically set up for someone coming from the Ruins, which is an indicator that they're for the protagonist alone.

'''Hey, do you like unused sprites and sprite names? If that's not interesting to you, stop reading. c:'''

Yeah, there's unused sprites. I have a ton, but I won't post all of them. ^^' Here's Sans eating ice cream. (Yeah, those lines behind him are in the sprite images.) This is either Nice Cream or the stuff that Alphys gives to Undyne.

'''Sprite names are interesting to look at, too... they often help determine what's going on with a character.'''

For example, when Papyrus makes his sad face in front of the CORE, there can be speculation as to what he's feeling. The sprite name for this image is spr_face_papyrusdejected, which differs from his straight up sad emote.

Nearly all characters have some clarification in their sprite names. The character with the least clarification is Sans ; many of his sprites are named either categorically or by the object included within them. The categorization is necessary when using so many sprites. However, Papyrus breaks this trend often, as nearly all of his head sprites are labelled with emotions.

'''Here's a few sprites with fun names... Mostly Flowey, because it's Flowey.'''

If you remember the second laugh Photoshop Flowey does, the one where he side eyes the LOAD failed:

This one. It's called spr_tv_floweyx_laugh_piss. The whole sequence is identified as "piss", which is definitely how I would feel if I had the carpet yanked from beneath me. Others Flowey sprites with identifiers:

My favorite sprite name has to be the one attributed to box-mode MT's hands when he's getting out a remote - spr_metthand_assrummage_0. Here's the sprite, though it's just arms.

If there's interest in more sprite-related stuff, I'll post more. Otherwise, I'm back to canon, observable in-game stuff. Cheers! <3
