Karma is dropped off with another stranger and is not happy when his nap is disturbed or how warm it is.

While Negative was amused by the babybones he knew they wouldn't be staying with them. They all enjoyed the freedom of moving around and taking a child along was just too dangerous. Also, he needed to track Sol down to show his appreciation of dropping a child upon them with no warning.

He knew it was a mistake to have not killed the pest earlier.

" Let's go, guys. I'm getting a tad bored of this place '

The AntiVoid might be a useful point, for them to meet up and stalk their next multiverse but they were currently not doing any of that, too focused on the new oddity. He had no clue what their name was, as they refused to say, and even Tail was bewildered by their mess of Code, so they had no luck there either.

He hefted the babyones in his arms and waited for Tail to open the portal needed. The multiverse they chose just happened to not only be the closest to them but also one with interesting rumours. He had heard that this Destroyer was one of the more powerful of the lot and it was said they had the magic to easily rip apart someone or fully restore a being to full health.

It sounded all like lies to him, as he could feel the energy surrounding this place, indicating it was paid close attention to by a Deity. It was most likely a forced Destroyer, which Negative knew always amused Scar to see.

"It's done"

Negative nodded and walked through, always impressed how Tail knew which AntiVoid was part of what multiverse. It all looked like the same dull white to him but he guessed being able to manipulate Code made this process trivial to do.

"Where is he? I'm not missing a chance to laugh at how pathetic they are"

Negative sighed at Scars words and was thankful a glitchy portal soon opened up, so he wouldn't have to listen to more whining on the subject. As soon as a tattered black boned skeleton stepped through, his grin grew and his tentacles swayed at the potent negativity from the other. Such a pathetic creature but they would be so easy to coerce.

" Why hello, Thread . Lovely place you have here. So sorry for crashing in "

Karma was very confused and he hated it. He had no idea where he was or why they were talking to a Destroyer. Looking up at Negative he was bewildered at how different they acted towards this new being. They were much harsher and they almost felt like an entirely different being.

He looked around and when he bent his skull back, he cooed at the pretty puppets hanging up. He liked meeting Destroyers with this hobby, always in awe of the creations they made.

He was surprised most Creators never fully realised how artistic some Destroyers could be..or perhaps they just didn't care. Thinking back on the many ones he had met he could see either option being likely.

" So glad you agree! This is your problem now. Please try not to kill it. I know how good you are at that "

Karma squawked as he was given over to the Destroyer, who was looking rather horrified at having to hold him.

" See you, baby apple. Make sure to give Thread lots of trouble "

"Bye, kiddo! We are off to hunt down, So-"

" Shut up! Just get in the portal..i can't take you anywhere. Why can't you be more like, Tail?"

" I am a delight to be around! Isn't that right, Tail?"

"No comment"

Karma stiffened, as the beeping noise coming from the Destroyer started to get louder, before the being holding his body Crashed. He grimaced at how uncomfortable this was but tried to be as still as possible. He knew a Crash could really disorient a monster and be rather painful, so he was hoping to minimise the discomfort before they woke up.

He was annoyed how the other three just left him here and tried to follow the parental bonds towards either of the monsters he bonded with, to see if they were near. He winced as pain enveloped his SOUL and quickly stopped, disliking how things were just going out of control.

He thought Oneiro promised him a nice holiday, not whatever this was.

" W-What h-happed?..Creator?...WHO ARE YOU?! "

Karma thankfully landed on his feet, when they quickly let go of him and he shuffled back, wary of what this monster would do. He knew his luck had been too good lately!

" So they left...now what to do with you? "

..was he expected to answer? If so he was tempted to ask to go back to the Void again. Staying there until he was found, sounded like an excellent option to him.

He flinched as they stepped closer, seeing them briefly falter, before they continued and lifted him up under his arms, before placing him on a large blue bean bag.

" Stay here. I have work to do "

He watched them leave and felt himself relax at no longer being near any more strange monsters. It was exhausting having to keep his guard up all the time. He shifted to be in a comfier position, before pulling his right wing towards him, grimacing at the ruffled feathers.

Since he was here he might as well groom himself. No better time than now. Karma took out the items he would need from his inventory, glad that at least this type of magic was not causing him any issues, before carefully removing all the damaged feathers.

There are a lot more than he thought there would be but he had been rather roughly handed by Negative, so wasn't really that surprised. He was so glad his brother introduced him to these grooming items, otherwise this would have been rather painful to do. He silently muttered each step his brother showed him and made sure he had all the items on his lap in easy reach.

Pleased at getting the worst part out of the way, he started to card his fingers through his wings, straightening each feather and trimming any that looked to be growing oddly.

He spread his wings out and frowned at how they did not look as shiny as normal. It's a good thing he still had some oil for his feathers. He spread some on his palms and made sure to cover his wings equally with the oil. He chirped at his success and felt tiredness wash over him. He didn't think grooming would be so draining but that's what he got for not doing it in a while.

That looks good! Great job, babybones

Why is there a child here? What did Thread do?! I was gone for ten minutes!

AT LEAST THE IDIOT IS DOING HIS JOB FOR ONCE!

Should we tell someone? This doesn't seem safe..

Nooo. This has to be the most interesting thing to happen in this place...they are really cute ♡

WHO CARES! THREAD IS THE MAIN CONCERN

Wow. How cold..

...the voices were very loud here. He could always hear them but this multiverse must have a stronger connection to them. It was nice to have some company at least but he wished they could be quieter....and now they were arguing.

SAY THAT TO MY FACE!

We don't have faces...idiot

Guys please. Can't you get along for once?

STAY OUT OF THIS!

I refuse!

Ignore them, babybones. They just have a weird way of flirting~

What...

HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH A DISGUSTING THING!

There is a child present! Try and behave!

Karma grumbled but decided to at least try to nap. He would leave the voices to do..whatever this was. He closed his sockets and happily slipped into unconsciousness, anything to get away from this noise.

-

Karma was being shaken and he did not approve. He tried to swipe at the thing doing so but this hardly deterred it. If anything it got more vigourous. He sadly realised this meant he would need to actually wake up, so with monumental effort why is this so hard? he cracked open his sockets to glare at the thing.

" -wake up wake up wake up! "

That sounded a lot like the new Destroyer but he was a tad confused.

"Yo-u h-ave a tw-in?"

He wanted to frown at his words not coming out clearly but hopefully they understood him. He had never been to a place with two Destroyers before. It was kind of cool.

" -HIT, you don't —-! —help now!—on. Ok? "

Karma blankly looked at the large shadow, annoyed it wasn't speaking clearly. He decided he was done with this conversation and closed his sockets, hissing when he was shaken yet again.

"Go a-way. N-ap ti-me"

He really thought they had gotten the message, so was unprepared for his comfy beanbag to disappear and gravity to take a hold of him.

Location: ??

... Ugh, he was going to be sick. That seemed like such a weird portal and he bet they made it as uncomfortable as possible, in order to spite him. He didn't do anything to deserve this!...Not knowingly at least.

He hoped he never had to do that again but he wasn't counting on it. He was completely limp in whoever was holding him and felt zero urge to change that...why was everything stupidly bright? Had no one heard of curtains in this place? Excellent invention if he said so himself.

He weakly chirped as he was laid on something cold and he purred in bliss. This was heavenly. This was going to be his new home now and no one could convince him otherwise.

....Hmm? He could sense a SOUL speeding towards him but at this point he did not care, as long as they left him alone.

Sadly that was too much to ask and he groaned when he was cradled by someone who felt like....why were names so hard?

Would biting them make them let go? He was very tempted but when his face was pushed into their shoulder he purred at how cool they felt. Change of plans, this was his new home...if only they could stop that weird shaking they were doing. He would very much appreciate it. Sleeping on them sounded like a splendid idea.

Just

a

short

nap

.

..

...

Karma startled when he woke up how long had be been asleep? and was very disappointed that the cold being wasn't still holding him. He tried to move and realised he was on something soft, which he supposed was nice but still too warm for his liking.

It was too much effort to open his sockets but he could sense someone close by. Was this who he thought it was?

"Bro-her? When d-did you g-et here?"

He was a tad alarmed at the choking sound but when no answer came he felt fear start to build up. Why wasn't his brother saying anything? Were they ok?

"-here. You need to calm down. B-brother is here"

..why did they sound so different? Was the other ill? He should check to make sure. He started to try and push himself up but was soon thwarted, when a hand pushed him easily back down.

"Brother! I need to l-look after y-ou"

"Why? I am fine. It's you who is ill"

Karma stopped trying to fight against the hand but was still very worried.

"Wh—y are y-ou ne-ar me th-en?"

He didn't want his brother to get ill. That would mean they would both feel like this!

"J-Just go back to sleep. I will stay right here"

"..p-promise?"

"Of course, l-little brother"

Karma let himself be dragged back to sleep, happy his brother was with him again.

At least he knew they would keep him safe.
