Welp, Ink Wants Something

You dust your hands as you step out from Killer’s room, feeling quite proud of yourself. You don’t think you’ve ever sounded more menacing than just then. He was sure to treat Dream well now. Shutting the door behind you, you teleported to your office, ready to do some paperwork.

You sit in your office chair and begin looking through the papers, signing a few treaties here and there until you stumble upon a request inside a yellow envelope. You pause as you look through it, and sneer when you finish, it was from the Star Sanses. They wanted to set up a private meeting, one that would likely turn out to be an ambush, it was sure to turn to fighting one way or another. You were definitely sceptical.

But dang it, if you weren’t curious. It gave a time and location, you briefly wonder how it even got to you, none of them could get into this universe, not even Ink himself. So, how?

You got your answer from one of the guards that stood at the door of your office, “IT WAS ERROR, SIR” the Papyrus guard stated, and you nodded. One of the only beings in the multiverse that had good enough coding abilities to enter any universe, even if you blocked it, at least you were lucky that Ink couldn’t code for crap.

So, was it from Error or the Star adolescents. Probably the Stars wanting Blueberry back, which was unfortunate since some of your group members had grown fond of him, including you. You sigh, looking at the other information, and it seems they do indeed want Blueberry back, but you’re not dumb, they also want something else. Though, you won’t know unless you meet them, alone apparently.

You suppose you’ll have to arrange a trip to-, you look at the paper again, LustFell.

Oh, no. you were not going. Never would you go there, not even for the life of you. You have no idea why Ink created such a monstrosity but he did, and it is terrible.

It has the worst of both universes mixed in, except that the monsters can’t leave the underground because the Frisk keeps resetting when they get to the end. You wonder why they’d want to meet there.

You screech under your breath, you would only bring Blue there and keep him safe until his friends got there, stars dang it all.

You walk downstairs, a sneer on your face as you try to pinpoint Blue’s location while forcing down your own negativity, as it was not helping. You find him relatively easily, in the kitchen, his favorite place inside the castle walls. “blue” you say, getting his, Horror’s, and Dream’s attention, “it seems that the arrogant ink stain wants you back” you state and Blue perks up.

“the meet up is later today, they have something i want anyway, do you want to go back?” you inquire, and everyone turns to the small Sans. “A-AS MUCH AS I LOVE IT HERE, I DO MISS MY BROTHER AND MY OTHER FRIENDS, COULD I?”, you scoff, “i didn’t ask you just so i could say no, if you want to go i’ll take you, go pack, we leave in-”, you check the clock on the wall.

“two hours, if i don’t return by four p.m. come find me” you start, as it was only eight A.M., “come find me, the meet up is, unfortunately, in lustfell, otherwise i’d drop blue off and then leave” you say, a small tremble in your voice that you hope no one noticed. You watch Blue scamper off to his room, that you had assigned him after his first month, to pack. “brother? are you alright?” Dream asks, taking a step closer to you, “yes, why?” you question.

“you’re frowning, in fact, you’ve been frowning since you walked in” he says, pressing his pointer phalange to the center of your nasal ridge where your bonebrows furrow and rubbing gently. Horror stays silent but you can feel his worry, “ah, i’m fine, i just have a particular hate for that universe. after the accident, it was the first i portaled to, i didn’t even realize at first either” you say, trying to wave him off, “i didn’t have the best control over my magic at the time”.

“let’s just say, it has the worst of both the fell universe and the lust universe” you say, repressing a shiver as you swipe at Dream’s hand. Dream finally stops after a bit but still looks worried and you have no idea why, “i’ll be fine, i’m much stronger now, and even if i do get beaten by the star brats, i doubt they’d leave even me, defenceless in such an au” you say, rolling your eyelight.

Blue finally comes back down, “go on and say your goodbyes, you have our numbers but in person goodbyes would be best” you advise, getting a nod before he runs off. “i’ll be back in a second, i have something i need to grab” you say, teleporting to your office before anyone has a chance to speak.

You turn to your desk and open one of the many drawers, specifically the fourth one down, on the right, and pull out a handgun. You check to make sure it’s loaded and that the safety is on before slipping it into the holster that is covered by your tunic, though this style makes it harder to pull out, it easily hides it as well. It was just for safety, and for if you just want to play it a little dirty and surprise them.

(Noot noot with a gun, hehe, mess with Noot noot, gonna get the shoot shoot)

You silently chuckle to yourself, thinking of the surprise on Ink’s face when he sees you with a gun.

You teleport back to your place, finding Dream and Horror are no longer there but you shrug it off, you can ask later. It takes quite a while before Blue returns, and by then you only have thirty minutes before you have to meet up. You make Blue wear a large black leather jacket, as the monsters would be less suspisous of someone in their own colors, “stay by my side the entire time until Ink arrives, and even then stay until i tell you to go, lustfell is a horrible universe”, you scowl slightly as you look like a mother warning her child of stranger danger.

“i’m going to punch you once, really hard, nothing that can’t be healed but something that looks convincing, alright?” you ask, looking at Blue’s face, almost blank of scars and cracks. He nods, clenching his sockets shut, “DO WHAT YOU MUST” he states. You throw one hard punch, the top of his skull gaining a new crack that leads down to his right eye socket, you give a wince, and try to sooth his pain with magic. “alright, to lustfell then” you say, opening a portal and wrapping Blue up in one of your tar limbs.

Blue always struck you as either wildly naive or dangerously intelligent...
