"Lust! Your phone is ringing!"I shout

"Can you answer it? I'm busy cooking."He says from the kitchen

"Sure!"I say

I grab his phone and check the caller ID. It's Error.

"Who is it?"He asks

"Error."I reply

"Huh, he rarely calls."He says

"Should I answer?"I ask

"Sure."He says

I answer the phone.

"Hello? This is Blue speaking. Lust is busy at the moment."I say

"BLUE?! WhErE tHe hEcK aRe yOu rIghT nOw?"Error snaps

"Um, I'm somewhere safe it that makes it any better. There's not exactly a name for this place besides HERE really...."I say

"Papy?"I say

"Yes! He iS hErE wOrRiEd sIcK abOuT yOu wHen hE sEnSeD iT!"He says

"Well the area that I was put in by the portal was not that safe. It was parts of bad timelines or people put together. Like versions of you, Nightmare or Dust that are actually evil. It engaged while....defending myself."I say

"Is HoRrOr wIth yOU?"He asks

"No....He was...He saved me but.....A version of Dust.......killed him."I say

I hear silence on the other end.

"DUST!"I hear him growl

"What?"I hear Dust say

I hear the phone get dropped.

"HorRor iS deAd bEcAusE oF yOU! He cAuGht onTo tHe fACTs bEfoRe aNy oF uS, TolD yOu and You DiD nOtHIng!"Error snaps

"What did you expect me to do?"Dust asks

"I DUNNO, GENIUS! MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD SOME COMMON SENSE AND TAKE THE WARNING SERIOUSLY! MAYBE GO WITH HIM TO KEEP BLUE SAFE OR ALERT US TO THE SITUATION! GET HIM THE NEEDED BACKUP!

"What are you talking about, Error?"I ask, trying to wrap my head around what I'm hearing

I hear the phone get picked up. It changes to a FaceTime. I see Error and he looked pissed.
