Ehh... lets blame the long wait on writers block for this, yeah lets go for that. I totally didn't write three versions and just choose the final one.

"You should see it Sci, he's really ill and his Papyrus sends him to bed," Classic said to his younger counterpart, Sci cleaned his glasses blinking myopically before he put them back on.

"Sounds like an illness caused by an old injury and build up magic," Sci said thoughtfully.

"Really, didn't know that could happen," Classic said surprised.

"Horror suffers from it also, not the extreme illness but issues with speech. Nightmares actually pulled him to me a few time when he suddenly couldn't talk, only reason Geno isn't suffering is because of all the determination in his body and his too stubborn," Sci continued.

"Is there a way to fix it, the guy looks ready to dust half the time and his Papyrus would have melt down after?' Classic asked.

"Part of the issue is that these illnesses are caused by skull damage, as the mana veins are cut as the skull breaks. To fix it, we might actually have to rebreak a skull fracture that healed wrong years ago," Sci said grimly, and Classic winced at that nightmare scenario.

A rebreak could make a situation worse, not heal at all or even dust a skeleton monster depending on the exact spot.

"It was good to see you my dear," Life said as she pored tea, Geno nodded ignoring the ever dripping blood that faded just before it hit anything.

"Thank you for the invite Life," Geno said, and he was grateful.

With his damaged body he didn't get out much, Reaper had managed to get him out of his save screen before he went missing. He missed the goofy Death, they'd been dating on and off for years and Reaper had started hinting that he wanted to become more serious in dating.

He admitted it made his soul warn, that someone wanted to court him even though he was a bloody mess.

Geno hadn't realized how much he'd miss Reaper till it was to late, and now he couldn't tell him he'd like to be serious.

Maybe that was why he'd like that random Sans, there morbid humour was right up Reapers alley. He'd have to introduce them once Reaper was found, then hide to get out of the pun splash zone.

"Now how was your week my dear?" Life asked, and Geno began to tell them about his week including the latest meeting.

"Ah Error, thank you for waiting for me to arrive," Grim said in relief, as his tired form arrived.

"You look dead on your feet," Error said.

"Please no puns, I just don't have the energy for them," the normally energetic Gentle Death said with a sigh.

Normally Error would just just killed everyone and destroy the AU, but with Reaper missing he'd slowed a bit as Grim was undertaking both his own and Reaper's duties and didn't have time to fish through the void for any missed souls.

Thankfully Ink had also slowed down creating, so the balance wasn't tilting too much with Error slowed down.

Thankfully he rarely got attacked with everyone to weak or freaking out about Reaper, no one wanted a repeat of what happened last time Error was interrupted and Grim collected souls.

The dead rising due to a pissy extremely tired death and attacking someone, nope.. no way.. not even Grim could figure out what he did.

It took three years to keep the dead there, well dead.

Reaper needed to get back to work asap, before Grim snapped from stress.

"Ah-choo!"

"Bless you brother," Papyrus said, from where he was cooking.
