"-AND YOU THINK IM CRAZY?"

"N-no we just...ugh,ink you go ahead and explain it"

"Basically blue,we think you have some form of ptsd"

"WHA-WHY? ERROR WAS REALLY NICE TO ME,THEN HE LET ME GO"

"He did? Stretch you never told me about this,you said that he messed with blue's mind and then dumped him here"

"Yeah b-but look at him ink! He's obviously delusional"

"P-PAPY YOU *sniffle* THINK IM INSANE"

Tears began to start welling up in blue's eyes,stretch looked at him with a look of pity mixed in with regret

"Oh god no bro it's not like that,I just think that,maybe,that messed up creep did some bad things and they hurt you"

"BUT PAPY H-HE DIDN'T DO A-ANYTHING TO M-ME"

"Stretch are you sure that er-"

"Yes,I'm sure,just look at him,he's clearly traumatised by whatever's happened in that awful place"

"But stretch,there are no physical scars on him"

"Words can hurt most of all ink,what if he just left him in blank white for weeks?"

"W-WELL *sniffle* HE DID LEAVE ME ALONE SOMET-"

"See! I told you"

"*sigh* whatever,let's just try to forget about it"

"Yes,it may be for the best,but that monster should get what he deserves"

"Stretch h-you know what? I don't have time for this,I'm going home,blue you coming?"

"Certainly not,I am not letting something like this ever happen again"

At this point ink had given up trying to argue with stretch,he was a good dude but he could be overprotective at times,Ink decided to just drop the subject,for now at least,and make his way through a portal back to the castle...

In the void:

Pathetic

Idiot

Wow well done

You think one good deed will make you good

Make all your troubles go away

Blue hates you

Ink hates you

Dream hates you

Nightmare hates you

Stretch definitely hates you

All those poor people you killed hate you

All the au's hate you

Everyone hates you error

You should die

Just die

Nobody would care

They would probably throw a party

To be honest,this was true,there probably would be some kind of celebration after errors death,what do you expect? Don't forget,even if he didn't always want to,our little skele-boi has done some terrible things,well,actually,he's done millions...

So just leave

Your bothering everyone

Hurting everyone

They hate you for a reason

It's because your the destroyer

A beast

A murderer

A monster

A glitch

An eRrOr...

The voices and blank white emptiness of the void began to overwhelm error who opened a portal below him straight to outertale...

Error sat on the edge of the starry abyss,staring down at the ground below him he pondered a grim thought...

...How easy it would be...

...To kill himself...

...To die...

...All he had to do was take...

...One...

...Step...

"Hey mister! You gotta be careful of that ledge,you could fall"

Error turned his head towards the voice that came from behind him,what he saw was a small orange monster child

Error had never really tried to destroy this au in the past so its residents weren't particularly familiar with who he was and what he did

"Oh,right,thanks kid"

"No problem mister! Yo what is that"

The kid spots the outertale sans doll poking out of his pocket,it was unfinished and he had taken it with him in hopes he could complete it,guess that's not happening tonight

"That's a doll I made"

"It's so cool,it's looks like my buddy sans actually"

"Huh,does it now?"

Error said,chuckling

"Yeah! Yo,you kinda do too"

"Really? Glad you noticed that,thought you had just SPACED out for a second there"

"Haha,you make bad puns like him too"

"Bad puns? That's a little harsh,s'not like I hade time to PLANET"

"Hehehe got any more?"

"Oh kid,I have enough puns to go to the MOON and back"

"Pffft okay those are pretty good"

"Yup,UNIVERSALLY better than all the rest,completely out of this WORLD"

"You're pretty nice mister"

"Thanks kid,you're a real STAR in my eyes too"

"How do you make those dolls?"

"Heh,well kid,basically you just-"

Error then proceeded to finish the doll,showing monster kid how he does the stitches and explaining how he gets the anatomy right,just like he did with nightmare...

After an hour or so mk had to go home,but before he left he said something that sparked a realisation in error

"Oops,yo sorry mister,that's my ma' callin' me,See ya' new friend!"

And with that said little mk ran off towards his house,leaving error alone to contemplate his thoughts,or,more importantly,the voices...

Seriously? Another fake friend

"But he's not-"

Does he know who you are

"Well sure,I told him I was...actually...I never told him my name..."

Exactly,that's why he wasn't scared

Monster kid doesn't know who you really are

Nightmare thinks you're 'strings'

And blue was just using 'friendship' as a leeway for him to guilt trip you into letting him go...

Strange that he thought it would work though

Didn't he know

Monsters like you

Don't have sympathy

Or

Friends

starshineburst :that's not true error,we can be your friends*

"That sounds kinda sad,being friends with the voices in my head"

*you know they are real people not just voices,right*

"Ugh,well,okay,but what was up with that whole errorberry thing earlier"

starshineburst :*laughing right now* sorry error,it's your reaction,it's so funny*

"...wtf..."

"Okay whatever,I'm going to check on blue"

Error then opens a windowing-portal to underswap,only to see stretch going on a rant to blueberry about how much of an evil monstrous psychopath he was,this caused error-chan to tear up,angering the friends (that's just the name I'm gonna use until you guys come up with one)

UnholyShipper :I will break this fourth wall!*

starshineburst :could stretch not think about the worst case scenario or outcome ever*

*I know right,error don't be sad,he's just being an ass right now,he's not that bad a guy-"

"He's not that bad a guy? HES NOT THAT BAD A GUY?!? Stretch is the worst kind of 'guy' I've ever met"

**sigh*,well error that's what he thinks about you as well,maybe you should,I don't know,talk it out with him,I heard that all the au's have a Christmas party,it's not for a long while now but maybe that could be your chance*

"Well...Maybe..."

Error sighed,contemplating the idea,while,unbeknownst to him,ink watched in awe at the emotions that the destroyer had been showing

How long had he been there,you might ask,well he opened up a windowing portal as soon as he sensed errors presence in outertale,he at first decided to observe,since that was what he did best,and ended up finding out about a whole new side of error that he didn't know existed,especially after he saw the way he talked to outertales monster kid...

...This was not the error he knew...

...But that made him ask himself...

...Did he ever really know error in the first place?...
