Error is annoyed by how hyper Ink is and calls in a secret 'contact' to help with the odd babybones he seems to be stuck with

———-

%@£!** Multiverse

"...was it truly worth it, Ink?"

Dream asked in utter exasperation, having ended the meeting early as he doubted anything productive would be happening with the chaos Error had brought to it with the new arrival.

He could spot Ink smugly sitting by the babybones as if they had achieved something amazing to be fair it did take them nearly two hours to accomplish this without the child not trying to burn Inks face off.

That Ink, the highly lauded Creator had shamelessly bribed the kid with Error throwing out suggestions on 'how not to get too badly bitten' over the entire period, made him feel like he was in a fever dream. He was glad the two Gods were somewhat getting along but did they have to do it in the weirdest fashion possible?!

At least Blue was here to help him make sense of this terrible day, truly the best monster who had ever existed as they had grabbed him a coffee while he watched over babysat the two Gods, who of course went back to squabbling like an old married couple.

"Of course it was, Dream! It was so simple to accomplish as well. I truly am a genius!"

"....You are such an idiot, that i'm honestly impressed you even manage to get dressed some days"

"Awww. That had to be the nicest thing you have ever said to me, Ruru"

"STOP TRYING TO HUG ME! Thats it! I warned you. Little thief! Use bite!"

"....What is that supposed to-OUCH! Why did they bite me again?! I gave them more crystals!"

"Hehe, that was a rookie mistake, Ink. There is never enough to soothe the tiny dragon"

Dream rubbed his head at Errors oddly proud tone, feeling a headache coming on and looking sadly at his empty coffee mug.

"Dream, perhaps we should-"

"None of us are leaving these two alone, Nightmare. If you dare to leave i will be more than happy to drop Ink off for a 'super fun' day that i will tell them you planned for them"

Nightmare shivered at Dreams sickly sweet tone and paled at the threat, his castle had barely survived the last time the Creator came to visit. He had already sent his group back home, not wanting them caught in the crossfire when it all inevitably went to hell.

He grimaced when Dream went on another tirade, using a tentacle to pass his still full cup of coffee towards them and thinking it was a wise sacrifice when Dream stopped looking at him with those judgmental eyes and switched them back to the two arguing monsters in the centre of the room.

"-I refuse to deal with another apocalypse event because someone thought it 'funny' to recreate an extinction event by throwing meteors at random AU's. Who even does that?! Idiots thats who. If they weren't Gods i would have gleefully dusted them years ago and don't even get me started on the-"

...his brother really needed a Holiday but he just knew that he would have to deal with the Gods in their stead and honestly didnt think he would survive a few hours having to do that. The more days passed with the Truce in place, the more he truly a miracle that the multiverse had never collapsed and feeling that Dream deserved an award for forcing the two sides to sit down and talk.

"Do not bring out Broomy, Ink! Error! If you destroy it i will make you build it back brick by brick without magic"

"Why are you such a killjoy, Dream? It was only going to be a little fight-OUCH! Why did you bite me now?!"

"Too loud"

"Bahaha. I might have to keep you at this rate, tiny thief"

Ink pouted at the tiny Death God hissed at him yet again, just wanting to play and trying to think of new ways to bribe them. Reaper was already so boring, always droning on about their job, tempted to try and create more AU's like Reapertale to see if he could make any fun false gods to play with.

"You are being way too quiet. Are you having another one of your stupid ideas again?"

Error said warily, having become in tune with Inks 'fun' periods that usually meant he had to deal with clean up or the stupid Positivity Guardian tried to lecture him as well. He didnt even cause half of the issues and yet he still had to attend the stupid lectures and the worst part was he couldnt even hide in the AntiVoid as the frankly suicidal Guardian would willingly enter his home in the to lecture him there!

Fell AU

Goth He didnt like his name anymore and was trying to think of a new one cooed at the cute little jacket kitty X now had due to Ink, the new clothing truly made the kitty plush perfect now. Perhaps Ink wasnt too bad but he still refused the chocolate they tried to give him though, not trusting them that much what if it was poisoned? The Ink in ___ did that to him.

He thought it was rather lucky he ended up this multiveres, feeling random memories start to pop up and he even discovered he had a family!...now, if only he could remember what they looked like or what their names were but it was a start at least.

He sneezed when he passed by some flowers, giggling as his funny magic came out which tended to tell him weird things when it interacted with certain monsters.

SAFE/NEUTRAL/SAFE/DANGEROUS

It was quite helpful and even the few who didnt 'pass' what his magic said tended to quickly leave his presence, feeling oddly protected by his magics actions. He stared at his hands thoughtfully, feeling he had different magic inside him and from what he overheard he had 'Death magic'. It sounded familiar but everything was still rather confusing.

He shook his head so the funny numbers would leave, resting his head on Inks shoulder as apparently they were about to go somewhere 'fun'. He was sad his shinies couldn't come with them, not liking Dream as he watched them give away their shiny collection! So what if he stole the majority of the items, they were still his in the end! Finders keepers!

Ink snickered when the babybones hissed when Dream tried to get closer, pleased he wasnt at the end of that anymore and his bribes having worked spectacularly. The tiny Godling also let him hold them, really tempted to touch their wings but would rather keep his bones intact, unlike that poor Fell monster who learned the hard way not really that sad as he found the scene kind of hilarious to watch.

He had no clue what Red had been trying to do, randomly popping up and trying to tackle Error in a frankly suicidal move in his opinion. He had watched in amusement as they were swatted to the side like an insect but then they made their largest mistakes yet.

They bumped into Goth and then tried to touch the babybones wings.

It was kind of a magical moment when the babybones froze, before giving a look to Red that somehow embodied the word scum and with a gaze that would have melted steel, that it made him briefly wonder if this was Errors kid.

The end result was brutal to say the least and funny, Error having to pull the near feral babybones off Red before they could finish the job and Dream had to heal the Fell monster he was pretty sure Error gave Goth candy after that.

He nuzzled the funny babybones in amusement, kind of hoping they could keep them as Error was much more fun with them near and they looked to be a good way to occupy his time now that he was limited on AU's he could make.

He once again looked around the Fell AU, the inhabitants long since left them be after Reds disastrous attempt, kind of excited to finally meet Errors 'contact'. They had been rather evasive when he tried to poke for answers, only saying they 'would know how to help', whatever that meant.

He wasnt sure why they needed help in the first place but Error was oddly insistent about it and even Dream agreed, honestly having tuned them out when they tried to get into specifics. He was here for fun, not to listen to more boring lectures,

"Im bored. They are taking their sweet time to get here..maybe i should add a bit of fun to this place. We dont really need a Fell AU. I would be doing everyone a favour getting rid of it"

'We've been here for five minutes! How can you be bored?! Do not summon your strings, Err-ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!"

"You are rather loud and yappy. Like those tiny dogs that humans like. Now what were they called again..?"

"Are you comparing me to a chihuahua?!"

"Thats the one! Maybe I should change your Code and make that your official name. It suits you much better"

"Dont just go playing with my Code like its some Lego bricks!"

"You whine a lot. You should lighten up. Ink doesnt care when i do it to him"

"Ink is a God and an idiot! They can survive your unnatural meddling"

Ink looked down when the babybones giggled, tempted to to create some popcorn for the show. Error was being unusually playful today, watching in fascination when Dream began screeching and trying to run from Errors strings, kind of jealous he didnt get invited to join in.

"You are going to kill me!"

"Dont be such a baby. It will be fine. A little Code editing didn't hurt anyone. I could even fix that annoying glowing of yours. It really does give me a headache some days"

"Leave my Code alone! Dont think that i forgot that you dusted Cross last week by doing this!"

"I fixed the mistake easily! It's not my fault they were so squirmy and made me lose my concentration. They should have known better then to move. They were much quieter when i brought them back though, so im not really seeing the issue. An improvement in my books"

"Thats called trauma! Cross still cant even be in the same AU as you anymore and now flinches at the colour blue!"

"...You really are picky about the details. Look, you only need to stay still for a few minutes top and this will all go away"

"How stupid do you think i am?!"

"..you really dont want me to answer that question"

"Whats Error doing, Ink?"

"Just playing with Dream, Goth. Nothing to worry about, just make sure not to touch the blue strings"

Ink replied cheerily, sticking out his foot to 'accidently' trip Dream who was soon after caught in Errors strings. He knew how much Error loved playing with Code and a happy Error meant they would stay longer and therefore he would be less bored!

A win-win in his books, curious what sort of edits Error was about to do.

Sadly his fun was soon ruined when all the strings collapsed, looking at Error in disappointment but they weren't even looking at him, instead turning to face something behind him with an oddly pinched expression.

Spinning around he grinned widely at the new monster, never having seen one like this before. They looked similar to Error but the mainly white and blue outfit as well as the white bones, were an interesting feature. He definitely hadn't created them,

"Is this your secret brother, Error? Why haven't you introduced us sooner!"

"What? No! Why would you even say that?!"

"You didnt tell your counterpart about me, Error? Are you that embarrassed of your teacher?"

Goth felt his feathers puff up, not moving his gaze from the new monster that was setting every instinct he had on edge. The feeling returned tenfold when the blue mismatches eyelights glanced at him, the urge to flee every rising and slightly shaking when they took a step towards him, gripping onto Ink tightly while trying not to cry at the sudden mix of emotions.

"Oh. I see why you called, Error. Why hello little Goth. Im 404 and you seem to be very far away from home. Lets see how we can fix that, shall we?"
