"Well THANK YOU GUYS so much for watching. If you LIKED it... PUNCH THAT LIKE BUTTON IN THE FACE LIKE A BOSS!! AND high fives all around! Wa-pshh!! Wa-pshh!! Thank you guys and I will see all you dudes... IN THE NEXT VIDEO!!!!" Jack shouted, doing his outro for his video. "Let's hope everything recorded correctly.." Jack said to himself afterwards. "I'm done recording for the day." He said after he did a quick check. Jack walked over to his tv, then saw his plate of cookies on a stool next to his sofa. "COOKIES! Looks like a perfect TV snack. Hey! That's what I should do! Watch TV for a bit! After a long day, some down time in front of the TV is exactly what I need." Jack said. Then he sat down on his sofa and reached for the clicker. He began to listen to the news once the tv was on. Until suddenly an urgent interupption occurred. "We interrupt this story to bring you breaking news. At this hour, millions of individuals around the world are being found unresponsive in their homes after using social media. Steve Segue is on the scene at one of the many hospitals receiving patients. Steve?" Betty asked. "Thank you, Betty. I'm here outside St. Aloysius Hospital in Oasis Springs, Maryland. As you can see, there's yet another ambulance.

The 5th ambulance has come in as I've been out here. I've spoken with a few of the doctors, and they've seen the age range of 13 to 30 years but there are a few outside this bracket. The doctors are noticing that despite the sudden lapse in consciousness, the patients are in a sleep-like state with healthy vital signs. Strangely, all of the individuals were on social media at the time. And even more mysterious is that the concentration of these incidents is taking place in English-speaking countries, but there are still reports coming in from many other countries as well.

We'll keep you up to date as more information comes in. Reporting to you live from St. Aloysius Hospital. Oasis Springs, Maryland, this is Steve Segue: SEN News." Steve said. Jack didn't like the sound of that. "Oh no... I should check on my friends to see if they're okay!" Jack goes back into his recording room to see the toast he had put on his table had moved. "Huh... don't remember moving that. Weird." He said, a little suspiciously. "Doesn't matter. I need to make sure everything's all right." He said, shaking it off. Jack went to his computer, then went to check on his friends. His eyes widened when he saw everything around him begin to glitch. He then got an ominous looking email from someone called "SAVE THEM" in capital letters. Once he went to open it, everything went black.

Time Skip

Jack groaned as he opened his eyes. "Owww... my head!" He then checked on his computer, only to find out it was nonresponse. "What the... the computer's not responding!" He then tried to get it to work. "Come on... COME ON... Dammit!" He suddenly heard his doorbell ring, and he looked over at his door in confusion. "Huh? Who could possibly be at my door?" He asked curiously. He walked over to the door, and his eyes widened once he opened it. He saw two characters he knew well, from a game called Undertale, known as Papyrus and Undyne. Then, he saw a girl with (H/c) hair and (E/c) eyes, shining brightly at him with a smile. Jack stared at the girl for longer than he should have, but then shock set in. "Hey!" Undyne greeted cheerfully. "HELLO, NEIGHBOR! WE NOTICED YOU APPEARED HERE AND HAVE COME TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL WELCOME!" Papyrus said. "Hello Jack! It's so good to meet you! I'm (Y/n), I'm a big fan!" (Y/n) said, still smiling.

"How are... what are you doing in my house? I..." Jack trailed off. "What game are you from? No! Let me guess! Hello Neighbor? DLC?" Undyne asked. (Y/n) looked at her with disbelief. "Undyne, come on! Does he look like he's from any of those games?" She asked. "He's not from a game like you, Undyne." "NO, THIS LOOKS A BIT DIFFERENT! I BELIEVE ANOTHER NEW GAME!" Papyrus said. "Is it a horror game? I LOVE horror games!!" Undyne said. "Game?...Me? YOU'RE the ones from a game!" Jack said. (Y/n) face palmed. "Exactly!" Jack then recognized who she was, and his eyes widened. "Wait a second, (Y/n)? As in (C/n)?" He asked, saying the name of her YouTube channel, and she grinned. "That's me!" "W... wow. It's an honor to meet you." Jack said. "Thanks, Jack! Same to you!" (Y/n) said. Undyne looked shocked. "Wait a minute, you two know each other?" She asked, looking between the duo. "Well yeah, of course I know (Y/n)! She's one of the most subscribed channels on YouTube!" Jack pointed out. "But what are you doing here?" Jack asked.

"OH NO! DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAYE AMNESIA?" Papyrus asked. "ARE YOU GOING TO WANDER AIMLESSLY FOR DAYS AROUND UNTIL YOU COLLAPSE INTO AN ALLY WHERE A GROUP OF ROGUE MISCREANTS RIFLE THROUGH YOUR POCKETS FOR BYTES!!" Papyrus asked. "Wow, sounds like a real dark descent." Undyne joked. "Who are you, Sans?" (Y/n) asked, a little annoyed. "GOOD ONE, UNDYNE!" Papyrus said. "I..." Jack said. "Well while you're babbling, can we see the rest of it? The game, I mean?" Undyne asked. "Uh... I guess??" Jack asked. (Y/n) face palmed. "Undyne, how many times have we told you? This isn't a game!" She shouted. Jack leads them to his reading room. "NICE computer... what happened to it?" Undyne asked.

"Good question." (Y/n) said as she went to look at it. "I don't know. It stopped working. Probably some sort of virus." Jack said. "A virus?" (Y/n) asked. "That's not good." "A VIRUS? OH NO! DO YOU HAVE ANY MEDICINE?" Papyrus asked. "Not that kind of virus, moron." (Y/n) said. "Wait a minute! I HAVE SOME COUGH SYRUP RIGHT HERE!!!" Undyne then took it out and opened it. "NO WAIT!" Jack shouted. "NO, DON'T-" (Y/n) shouted at the same time. She then poured it on the computer and it fried. The duo looked shocked. "UNDYNE, I DON'T WANT TO BE OVERLY CRITICAL.... BUT I BELIEVE YOU JUST MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE." Papyrus said. "No shit, Papyrus!" (Y/n) said.

"That's an extremely light way of putting it." "Well... trial and error. At least we know now that cough syrup doesn't work on computers." Undyne said. "YOU DESTROYED MY COMPUTER!!!!" Jack shouted. "Yup, I could have told you that would happen." (Y/n) said, crossing her arms. "WELL LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE!! AT LEAST YOU NOW HAVE TIME TO GO OUTSIDE!" Papyrus said. "Yeah, you know? Get some fresh air!" Undyne said. "I am so sorry, Jack..." (Y/n) said. "YOU SHOULD BE! YOUR IDIOT FRIENDS JUST DESTROYED MY COMPUTER!" He shouted. "Hey, hey, calm down, okay? Maybe we can-" (Y/n) was then interrupted by Sans. "Hey guys, what's... aaaand what'd you two do this time?"

Sans asked his friends. "WELL, IN ALL FAIRNESS, IT WAS ALREADY BROKEN WHEN WE GOT HERE." Papyrus defended. "Yeah, but all it had before was a virus! At least it had a chance of being fixed! Now it's broken beyond repair!" (Y/n) shouted. "Sans?" Jack asked. "Oh hey, Jack." Sans said. Sans turned to look at the girl, then turned between the two for a few seconds. "Hey (Y/n)." Sans greeted. "Why are you here? Why are ANY of you here??" Jack asked. "Wow, Jack is friendly." Sans said, and he face palmed. "Anyway, heya. This your busted computer?" Sans asked. "Well it WAS before they got their hands on it." Jack said. "Ah. Sounds like they got you into a... sticky situation." Sans joked. "Not now, Sans!" (Y/n) shouted. "SANS, DON'T START ALREADY!!" Papyrus shouted. "What? You laughed at my pun a few minutes ago." Undyne said. "SHH DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM!" Papyrus said. Suddenly Alphys came in. "Wh-what's going on?? Why did you blow down th-this guy's door?!" She asked. "Alphys??" Jack asked in surprise. "Oh, h-hi! I'm sorry, you must be new here... wait, what happened t-to your computer?" She asked. "Really? I think it's pretty obvious what happened." (Y/n) said. "Ah... that would be me." Undyne said. "Apparently cough syrup doesn't work on computers." She said.

"No they don't. They work on humans." (Y/n) said. "Undyne? Cough s-syrup is for bacterial infections!" Alphys said. "Whoops." She replied. "WE COULD LOOK FOR THE VIRAL VARIETY!" QUICK! TO AMAZON!" Papyrus said. (Y/n) and Jack gave him blank looks. "OKAY. NOW I SEE THE PROBLEM HERE." Papyrus said. "Oh, do ya?!" (Y/n) shouted sarcastically. "Welp, it wouldn't be me if I didn't learn it the hard way!!" Undyne said. "Yes, it looks like your mistake had a.. mass effect." Sans said. "STOP IT SANS, THIS POOR FELLOW HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH!" Papyrus shouted. "Wait, no, hold on! What in the blue blazes is going on here?? How are you guys even here?" Jack asked. "OH NO, YOU'VE FORGOTTEN ALREADY? WE BLEW DOWN YOUR DOOR TO COME LOOK AROUND!!" Papyrus shouted. "NOW THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT IT... BLOWING DOWN YOUR DOOR WAS PROBABLY NOT THE BEST IDEA." He said. "It was fun though!" Undyne said. "No, you know what I mean! You guys are GAME CHARACTERS!! How are you in my house??" Jack asked. "Wait... do you not kn-know where you are?" Alphys asked. "Apparently not." (Y/n) said.

"Why didn't you guys tell him?" Sans asked. "Don't blame me! I got a little distracted from the whole computer fiasco!" (Y/n) protested. "I... was just kind of excited about the graphics... I guess this is why they looked so realistic." Undyne said. "WHAT graphics?? What are you talking about??" Jack asked. "Jack... y-you're in Wireland." Alphys said. "No. I don't live there anymore." He replied. "Not Ireland, Wireland. That's what we call this place." (Y/n) said. "Y-you know, where we hang out when you're not p-playing with us." Alphys continued. "So basically, it's like Toy Story." (Y/n) said. Jack looked confused. "Wait, then why are you here?" He asked, referring to (Y/n). She shrugged. "I don't know." She said. "What? What do you mean you don't know?" Jack asked. "It's the way it sounds, I don't know." (Y/n) said. "I was just minding my own business, playing a game as usual, when suddenly for whatever reason, I got sucked up here." (Y/n) explained. "Are you serious? Wait... I'm INSIDE my own computer???" Jack asked. (Y/n) grinned. "Now he gets it. A round of applause everyone!" (Y/n) said sarcastically. Undyne began clapping. "No no, that sounds too genuine. Slow clapping, that's better." (Y/n) said. "How did you get in here??" She asked. "I'm... not sure.

It was weird. I was on my computer and I got this email from some guy named SCYOBI. Then there was this flash of light and I woke up here." He explained. "Huh. That does sound fishy." (Y/n) said. "SCYOBI? What kind of name is that?" She asked. "Never heard of 'em." Undyne said. "Me neither. I don't think anyone here goes by that name." Alphys said. "WELL, WELCOME TO WIRELAND, NO MATTER HOW YOU GOT HERE!" Papyrus said. "Let me guess: Sans came up with the name." Jack asked. "Actually it was Toriel." (Y/n) said. "But if your computer is broken... there's no way out! You're both stuck here!!" Alphys said. "WELL, THE COMPUTER WAS BROKEN BEFORE UNDYNE EXACERBATED THE SITUATION." Papyrus said. "Y-yeah, about that, Undyne... d-didn't I ask you not to mess with computers without me to supervise?" Alphys asked angrily. "Uhh... you said not to mess with YOUR computer. You didn't say anything about Jack's." She replied. "The same concept applies to ALL computers." (Y/n) said. "Oh... well.. oops? What a funny story! We'll laugh about this in 20 years. Right?" Undyne asked. "Uh-huh." (Y/n) said sarcastically. "Listen, Jack, I don't know how t-tech savvy you and (Y/n) are but I can fix your computer. I-if you want me to." Alphys suggested. "Uh... yeah. Sure. I guess if you could build a robot out of metal and magic, fixing a computer's a piece of cake." Jack said. "I guess you do have a point there." (Y/n) said. "Alphys is a genius. She'll be able to fix your computer in no time, Jack." She said. "I hope so..." Alphys said. "Welp... if you're both going to be here a while, I guess i'll set up shop." Sans said. "In his house?" (Y/n) asked. "Sure, why not?" Sans asked before he walked out of the room.

"Make yourselves at home, why don't ya?" Jack asked sarcastically. "I guess I should get started. Thanks a lot, you two." Alphys said, glaring at Papyrus and Undyne. "Heh, no problem!" Undyne said. "She was being sarcastic!" (Y/n) shouted. "Oh no! She was supposed to use a sarcastic voice! Now I look foolish!" She shouted. "So, what do you need me to do?" Jack asked. "For now, I need you to go to the grocery store o-out there. You need to get some new power regulators. Th-these are completely fried." Alphys said. "What? You're saying those would be at the grocery store?" (Y/n) asked. "The store should be out your door and to your right. If the gate is unlocked. If it's not, there are a few keypads you can use to activate it. Shouldn't be too difficult t-to figure out." She replied. "Uh... all right. I guess... we'll go get it then." Jack said. "So Undyne, how come you had cough syrup anyway?" (Y/n) asked. "Oh yeah! I confiscated it from Papyrus." She replied. "Why...?" (Y/n) asked. "Last time he tried it, he got... kinda loopy." "Seriously?" (Y/n) asked in disbelief. "THAT WASN'T COMPLETELY MY FAULT! I JUST MISREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS!" Papyrus shouted. "WHEN YOU'RE SICK, IT'S EASY TO MISREAD ONE EVERY TWO HOURS AS TWO EVERY ONE HOUR." He said. "We're still finding bones in weird places." Undyne said. "I PROMISE I DON'T REMEMBER LEAVING THEM EVERYWHERE." Papyrus said.

"Shame. I guess we'll never find out why you drunkenly spelled out ASPARAGUS in your front lawn." Undyne said. "ASPARAGUS?" (Y/n) asked, before laughing. "HMM, YEAH. EVEN SANS COULDN'T FIGURE THAT ONE OUT." Papyrus said. "Long story short, when I saw that in his medicine cabinet, I knew I had to confiscate it. The last thing we need is a repeat of that incident. I've already yanked enough bones out of the pipes and stuff. I don't even know how you managed to fit them all there." Undyne concluded. "PERHAPS IT WILL ALWAYS BE A MYSTERY." Papyrus said. "Wow. I don't blame you for taking it then." Jack said. He then began to leave. "Wait!" (Y/n) said as she ran to him. He stopped and turned to look at her. "Yeah, what?" He asked. "I want to help." She said, then she smiled at him, and Jack smiled back. "Okay." She followed him out of the room, into his bathroom, where they saw Sans. "Sans... why did you set up shop in my bathroom?" Jack asked. "You weren't using it. Besides, this way you can focus on your adventure without worrying about making editing mistakes." Sans said. "I am never going to live that down, am I?" Jack asked. "Nope." Sans said, and (Y/n) snickered. Then the duo left the building and looked around. "What are these cameras for? Where does the feed go? Does Wireland have security?" Jack asked as he looked at the cameras in the walls. "I don't know, but it sure is creepy." (Y/n) said.

They saw a familiar looking girl walking by. "Oh great, it's Evie." Jack said. "Not her." (Y/n) said. "Hello Nick and Bob. I am Cleverbert." She said. Jack face palmed as (Y/n) just looked down and sighed. "Yes. We know who you are. Unfortunately." Jack said. "Would you like a hint?" Evie asked. "A hint for what?" (Y/n) asked. "If you step on the blue squares, you turn yellow. But yellow does not make you turn blue." Evie said. "What?" Jack asked, completely confused. "What's THAT supposed to mean??" (Y/n) asked. "I already told you." Evie said. "No you didn't!" (Y/n) shouted. "You know how to whistle, don't you Steve?" Evie asked. (Y/n) and Jack looked pissed. "Annnd we're done here." (Y/n) said in annoyance. Jack nodded. "Yup, now you know what I have to deal with on a regular basis." He said. "It's all static. I wonder if they're supposed to do that or if my computer breaking had anything to do with it." (Y/n) said. "Maybe." Jack said. "It wouldn't surprise me really." "Seems like the entrance to the store is blocked off. I'm sure if we wander around, we can find a way to deactivate the barrier." (Y/n) said. "Sounds good to me." Jack said.

They soon stepped on a blue square which teleported them to a small room with a water container. "Uh, what just happened?" Jack asked. "We teleported. Thirsty?" (Y/n) asked, looking toward the water container. "An ordinary water cooler. Nothing special. Nope." Jack joked. "Who are you calling ordinary? I am the water cooler of doom!" The container said. "Oh no what are you going to do? Annoy us with the sound of the forever-restarting refrigerator motor?" (Y/n) asked sarcastically. "Yes. You will be forever tormented by the thing that once gave you refreshment. Now only providing you with never ending pain!" The container said. "Where's a DUPA mug when you need one?" (Y/n) asked. Suddenly Jack's phone began to ring. "HELLO Jack, I'M SURE YOU ARE WONDERING HOW I GOT YOUR NUMBER!" Papyrus said. "Let me guess: you dialed every number sequentially until you got mine?" Jack asked, causing (Y/n) to laugh. "WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING? THAT WOULD TAKE FOREVER!" Papyrus said. "Oh, so he... didn't do that this time?" (Y/n) asked. "I JUST GLANCED AT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!" Papyrus said. "YOU HAVE TO GIVE OUT YOUR PHONE NUMBER FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS!!" Papyrus said. "Well, that's true." (Y/n) said. "Stop taking over the conversation, Papyrus. So guys: how would you feel about a nice pot of spaghetti for when you get back?"

Undyne asked. "Undyne... no." Jack said. "Good call." (Y/n) crosses her arms. "WOWIE! THEY'RE SO EXCITED, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYING!" Papyrus said. "Yeah, a whole bunch of people showed up. Turns out your house is great for parties but all the food you have is cookies and cakes." Undyne said. "Wait, what kind of people?" (Y/n) asked, but her question was ignored. "WE THOUGHT WE'D BE GOOD HOSTS BY MAKING THEM SOMETHING A BIT MORE SUBSTANTIAL." Papyrus said. "I mean you did tell us to make ourselves at home!" Undyne said. "She already forgot that he was being sarcastic didn't she? This woman is unbelievable." (Y/n) said. "Yup." Jack sighed. "It was implied. Anyway, talk to you later!" She hung up. "Well, you're screwed." (Y/n) said. "Gee thanks." Jack said sarcastically. They teleported to a room with a set of controllers. "Okay, lets see if these will help." (Y/n) said. They pressed the buttons, which opened a pathway. "Yes! It worked!" Jack said. "Great! Now we know what we need to do." (Y/n) said. They separated and teleported themselves to a room with another set of controllers, and pushed all the buttons on each one, opening all the barriers, before meeting up again. Suddenly Jack's phone ran again. "What?" He asked in annoyance.

"Hey... Jack. So, tell me... just how attached were you to your oven?" Undyne asked. "Do I even want to know?" Jack asked. "Know what? There's nothing to know? I just... wanted to know more about you." She replied. "By asking a strange question about an oven?" (Y/n) asked skeptically. "Undyne, have you two heard any loud beeping since you started cooking?" Jack asked. "Actually yeah! It was really annoying. How did you know?" She asked. "That would be the smoke detector. It beeps to warn you about excessive smoke. And fire." (Y/n) replied for Jack. "Oh!! One second!! (HEY! PAPYRUS! IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. YEAH, TURN IT BACK ON!)" She shouted to him. "So tell me, Jack, this isn't exactly related to anything specific but by chance, are smoke detectors expensive to replace?" Undyne asked. "I'm going to hang up now." Jack said. The group walked into the store together. "Bosco's Inconvenience Store. That's comforting." (Y/n) said. "I wonder how the money system works in here. I wonder if I'll even NEED to know." Jack said. "Well it may be an inconvenience store but it's the only option we've got!" (Y/n) said. They entered another room in the back where they see a familiar little boy. "BILLY!!! I KNEW IT!!!" Jack shouted. "Not him!" (Y/n) shouted. "What?? Hey, I'm not-" he tried to protest.

(Y/n) ran behind Jack. "Why are you running away from ME?!" Billy snapped. Jack began punching him. "Hey, what are you doing??" Billy asked. "You're always the villain in these things!!" Jack shouted. "It's true." (Y/n) said, glaring. "What? No I'm not!" Billy argued. Jack kept attacking him. "You're making a mistake! I'm not evil! I promise!!" Billy shouted. "Like hell you're not." (Y/n) said. "Stop beating me up! I have some power regulators right here!! Don't you need them??" Billy asked. "Right. And you're just going to hand them over. Sure." Jack said sarcastically. "Yeah! I am! I'm not here to hurt you!" Billy said. Jack suddenly stopped attacking him, and Billy handed them over. "Uh... okay... thanks..." Jack said. "So... why are you helping us?" (Y/n) asked suspiciously. "I dunno. Maybe because I don't wanna die." He replied. "Heh, I think that ship sailed a long time ago. How many times have I killed you now?" Jack asked. "Don't remind him!" (Y/n) shouted. "Unless you want him to go villain on our asses!" "Wow, you're pretty thick, Jack." Billy said. "You're pretty annoying, Billy." Jack retorted.

"I'm going to have to agree with that one, kid." (Y/n) said. "Shut up!" Billy snapped. "My name's "Irresponsible Son," technically. Not that you'd care." Billy continued. "But considering that the alternative to helping you is a painful and permanent death, I think I'm feeling generous right now." He continued. "You're pretty articulate for a little kid." Jack said. "Well you're pretty sadistic for a guy who promotes kindness and community values. I mean, technically what you just did was child abuse!" Billy said. "Is it really child abuse if the child is fictional?" (Y/n) asked. "Oh, oh yeah, I'm just fictional, huh? Well guess what, genius? I guess that would make all of your friends fictional too!" He said. "But listen, guys, I've been here for a long time. Dying to amuse you two, mostly. But I saw this huge surge in power a little while ago. Like a ton of stuff got uploaded at once. And it was kinda scary. I think all the people who fell asleep out there got uploaded here." Billy said. "Other people? Uploaded? What's he talking about?" (Y/n) asked. "Oh man, with all this... Wireland and cough syrup crap, I completely forgot about that!" Jack said.

"Wait, how would you know about that if you didn't take them? You don't live in the real world." (Y/n) said. "Well this computer's connected to the internet! I'm not stupid! And besides, I'M the one who called you here in the first place!!" Billy said. "You?? Who the hell is Soyobi then??" Jack asked. "It's "screw you, Billy" actually. Get it? First 2 letters of each word? I thought it was clever." Billy said. "Huh, that is clever." (Y/n) said. "Must've been if you didn't figure it out." Billy added. "Well NOW I get it." Jack said. "Congratulations. You're finally catching on." Billy snarked. "We can still kill you!" Jack shouted angrily.

"Well sure! You could do that. Once. But if one of us dies outside our game-" "you don't regenerate. We know." (Y/n) asked. "I wasn't finished." Billy glared at her before continuing. "It means that our files go missing. And missing files means a fatal error, and a fatal error means the game is unplayably corrupted." Billy said. "Ah, Doki Doki flashbacks." Jack said sarcastically. "Unless, of course, we're being controlled by the player. Then the Law of Death Permanence counteracts any permanent deaths." Billy said. "So we have to let you live so we can keep killing you?" Jack asked. "Yup, that pretty much sums it up." (Y/n) said. "...Howsabout you an' me head back to HAAAAAPPY WHEEEEEEEELS for a bit?" Jack smirked, and (Y/n) snickered. "Heheheh, not a chance, Jack. And it's knowing little things like that that would make me a valuable asset to your journey. Because I think the millions who disappeared were all your subscribers. Do you really want to leave them helplessly fending for themselves down here?" Billy said.

"Oh, that's what happened?" (Y/n) asked. Billy looked at her. "Yes, and I know about you, and how you're another popular channel on YouTube." He said. "So you sent me here?" (Y/n) asked. Billy shook his head. "I didn't, actually. I have no idea why you are here. But I could use some extra help." Billy said. "So you're proposing an alliance?" (Y/n) asked suspiciously, still not fully trusting him. "That's the idea." Billy said. "And if we refuse?" (Y/n) asked. "I mean you could get lost or not know how something works. Seriously, guys, you need a Wireland resident to show you around. These are all Jack's subscribers who need saving." Billy said. "I don't want to see you or them get stuck in here forever. I wasn't programmed to be evil, you just made that up. There are a lot of people here whose programming could put you in serious danger." Billy explained. "Just give me a chance. I know my stuff. I promise." Billy smiled at them, and Jack sighed. "Fine. I guess we'll HAVE to work together." He said.

"I guess I'll take a reluctant alliance over being beheaded again." Billy said. "Hey," (Y/n) said as she took out a giant red book. "What's this?" She asked. Billy turned to her. "That's our lowbook. Everything you need to know about being a character in a game." Billy explained. "See? Turn to the Low of Death Permanence." Billy said, and (Y/n) did just that before reading the page. "If a game character, acting of their own agency, dies outside their game, the death is permanent and causes a fatal error due to missing files. However, if under the agency and control of a higher power (i.e. The Player), death is treated equally outside the game as it is inside the game

(e. impermanent)." She read. "Additionally, any other characters who die due to player negligence are resurrected when the player respawns." She read. "You're right. Death here is permanent unless you're in your game or being controlled by a player." (Y/n) said to Billy. It wasn't long before the team made their way back to Jack's house. "These little goo guys seem to be everywhere." Jack said as he approached a strange black creature. "Yeah, thanks for playing that, Jack. It's not like this place was totally cluttered or anything." Billy rolled his eyes. "Sorry, I didn't think about the world inside my own computer when I choose what games to play." Jack said. "You know, this whole weird situation would make a pretty sweet game or story!" Billy said, and the others scoffed.

"Don't be ridiculous." (Y/n) said. "Yeah. Come on, Billy. No one would play a game or read a story like that." Jack said. "Or WOULDN'T they?" Billy asked teasingly with a smile. "Hey, it's Ori!" Jack said as he approached a small white cat. "Papers, please!" "Hey! You're Potato Man!" Jack said. "Hey, is you. I heard you were here. Welcome to Wireland!" The man replied. "Yeah so, if you could move out of the way to my bedroom, that'd be great." Jack said. "I can't let you through unless you have the right papers." Potato Man said. "What papers??" (Y/n) asked. "You need passport and entry ticket. I run very strict border control." The man replied. "For a bedroom?" (Y/n) asked in disbelief.

"Well uhh. My bedroom's so great, I don't need a passport to get in." Jack said. "Haha! Very funny. Sounds Familiar. But I still can't let you in." Potato Man said. "It's MY bedroom!!" Jack shouted. "Get right papers and come back. Glory to Arstotaka!" Potato Man said. "We're not even IN Arstotzka!" (Y/n) said. They walked into the kitchen to see Sans behind a counter with video game characters standing in line in front of him. "Wow." (Y/n) said as she looked around. "Quite a line you've got here." Jack said to Sans. "Where'd these guys come from?" (Y/n) asked. "Yeah. Business is booming. Just a few minutes ago this guy in an orange jumpsuit bought like 50 rolls of duct tape from me. dunno why." Sans said. "Anyway. if you want to buy something, you're going to have to get to the back of the line. These people have been waiting for a long time now. And I've taken a few breaks. And slept a little." Sans said. "Sounds like Sans." Jack rolled his eyes. "You know it. Anyway, could be a while." Sans said. "I think we're good..." (Y/n) said, and Jack nodded in agreement. Once they walked out, they saw another skeleton character who turned and noticed them. "Holy feces! I heard you two were here, yo! You're THE Jack and (Y/n). The ones we live to entertain!!" "And uhh... just FYl, that spaghetti on the table be a fast track to hell if you even think

about eating it, you dig?" "Oh, don't worry. We know." (Y/n) said. "I HEARD THAT!!" Papyrus shouted from the kitchen. "He didn't mean that, Papyrus. The spaghetti looks... great!" (Y/n) said. "THANK YOU! WHY DON'T YOU TRY SOME?" Papyrus asked. "Oh, um... I would but you just made it look so delicious, I don't want to mess it all up!" (Y/n) lied. "AH! OF COURSE! I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND! YOU WANT TO PRESERVE OUR ARTISTIC MASTERPIECE!" Papyrus said. "I can't believe he fell for that." Jack mumbled. They walked into the kitchen to see one of Undyne's blue spears on the floor. "Sorry about that, Jack. As it happens, your smoke detector is pretty breakable after all." She said. "Yep. I generally advise against throwing spears at necessory household items." Jack said. "Or just, in general." (Y/n) added. "Well that's just lame." Undyne huffed. "Can't make an omelette without setting fire to your oven." She said. "Something tells me that's not even how the saying goes." (Y/n) mumbled. "OH! IT'S FANCY MEETING YOU, Jack!" Papyrus said. "FANCY MEETING YOU HERE.. AT YOUR HOUSE." Papyrus realized nervously. "The kitchen sure has.. changed." Jack said. "YES. WE'VE REARRANGED THE PLACE A BIT. HOPE YOU LIKE IT." Papyrus said. "Yeah, it's not strategic at all. Nope." Undyne said. "Yeah it looks a HOLE lot better in here." Billy rolled his eyes.

"Yep. So much better. You should let us be your interior decorators, Jack." Undyne smiled, and (Y/n) nodded. "Yeah, if he wants the rest of his fucking house to explode!" She snapped. "Gee, Undyne, I wonder why you went out of your way to move my plant out of the living room and up against this exact wall." Jack said as he saw the giant plant in front of the giant hole in the wall. "Yeah! Weird, right?" She replied. "WE THOUGHT IT WOULD ADD TO THE AESTHETIC OF THE ROOM!" Papyrus said nervously. "Yep. That's why we moved it!" Undyne agreed. The group walked back over to Alphys. "So. Did you get the power regulators?" She asked. "Yeah! I found them and gave them to him!" Billy said. "Oh hi, Billy! I d-didn't even see you there!" Alphys said. "Hey, Alphys. What's up?" Billy asked. "Look, I don't want to interrupt this lovely catch up session but uhh... can I get home now?" Jack asked. "Give me a second to install this and you'll be on your way!"

Alphys went back to work on the computer. "Okay. I got it up and running, now to just... what the...?" She asked. "What now?" (Y/n) asked. "There's a firewall here." She replied in frustration. "A firewall?" (Y/n) asked. "Yeah, and I can't get past it. How do you disable it?" Alphys asked. "Why are you asking us? Aren't you the expert here?" (Y/n) asked, and she blushed shyly. "Expert? R-really?" She asked. "Uhh... a-anyway, who else would have put it up? Other than you, Jack?" She asked, and he shook his head. "I don't know, but it wasn't me, I swear." He said. "That's weird." (Y/n) said. "It clearly says right here "installed by the BOSS." Alphys said. This caught Jack and (Y/n) off guard. "Who's the BOSS?" Jack asked. "Isn't that what you call yourself?" (Y/n) asked.

"Well yeah, but... someone else installed that." Jack said. "So... someone doesn't want you to leave, Jack." Alphys said. "It looks that way." Billy said. "Alphys, do you think you can take it down?" Jack asked pleadingly. "I think so. B-but I'm going to need a couple of hydrospersion keys. I can find their locations here but they're encrypted. I could try to decrypt it but that could take hours." She replied. "So... what do we do?" (Y/n) asked. "Well, I can set your front door up to take you to one of the keys. You'd have to wander around a bit to get it but that would take way less time than trying to decrypt their locations, well, you and your friend, Jack. If she's still willing to help you." Alphys said. "You kidding? Of course I am." (Y/n) said. "Another fetch quest?" Jack asked, annoyed. "Sorry. But I really need those keys if you want to get home." Alphys said.

"Aw, come on, Jack! It can't be that bad. It'll be fine!" (Y/n) said, and Jack sighed. "I guess I don't mind going back out into the computer." He said. "Well. H-here's the thing... It's not in the computer. Not strictly. It's embedded in o-one of your games. But I can't tell which one." Alphys said. "In one of his games?" (Y/n) asked. "So we have to travel through one of the games Jack has played?" Billy asked, not sounding very thrilled. "I really hope it's something innocuous like Turmoil." Jack begged. "I mean it could be that." Billy agreed hopefully. "Or it could be The Last of Us. Or The Final Station. Ог..." (Y/n) began listing games. "Yeah, I get it. l've played a lot of horror games." Jack said. "That's another thing: there might be some overlap. Games blending into other ones." Alphys said. "I guess what I'm trying to say is, to prepare for anything." She said. "All right! We're going to go on an adventure, Jackaboy and (N/n)!" Billy said. "Anyway, remember: I need a hydrospersion key." Alphys said. "Right. We'll get you one of those... whatever they are." (Y/n) said. "Sure thing, Alphys." Jack said. The group teleported to the first game.
