When we reappear Error lets me go. "What the hell?" Horror asks. We teleported (or glitched in mine and Errors case) into a big room which I assume is a living room and the Stars plus Geno, Fresh and Reaper are all sitting on one of the many comfortable looking couches.
"Thanks Error." Ink says standing up. "Welcome to my new and unnamed creation where all the Sanses can live." He says.
"We're callin' it the Sans Palace." (I'm rereading this stuff and fixing my spelling and grammar mistakes and I'm dying of cringe reading this specific chapter--) I say quietly not thinking anyone would hear."
"I l-l-like tha-at!" Error says. "The Sans Palace."
"Why can't we live in our own AUs?" I ask.
"Because some of our AUs don't exist." Dream says softly.
"W-what?!" I look around at everyone to see quite a few of them looking sad.
"Well anyways I'm gonna look around." I say staring down a hallway off to the side.
"T-Timer?" Error asks making me jump.
"Yeah?" I ask turning around.
"What do y-y-you think of this p-place?"
"Oh, well I think it's really cool. But we need to change the names on the doors." I say. We had gone up quite a few flights of stairs to where I assume the bedrooms are because every door is spread apart a lot more than the ones on the other floors and they have a name on each one.
"Like?"
"Well I think Fresh should be changed to Hippy Dude and Geno be Almost Ded Boi." I say. "Nightmares should be Octopus Thing, Blue should be Sussy Boi, and Cross should be Cow. I have nothing yet for anyone else."
"Y-you are a gen-i-ius!" Error says. "I'll try and get Ink to change it, but why should Blue be Sussy Boi?"
"He seems Sus to me." I shrug continuing on. "How many Sanses does Ink want to fit in here?!" I exclaim three floors later. "Also here." I point to a door that says 'Sans hang out' should be called 'Gang Hang'."
"I d-d-don't know where y-you're getting these names f-from b-but they're am-m-mazing!"
"Yeah," I smile slightly at that.
I sigh when I notice the flashing red numbers in the corner of my vision. I didn't hear the system say anything but there are now 30 seconds till Reset. "Okay, don't question it or say anything about this to the others." I say bracing myself against a wall.
"Huh?" Error asks as the system yells RESET HAS BEGUN! Everything goes black and I feel myself slide down the wall to the polished wood floor. "T-Timer?!" Error asks.
"I'm fine, don't worry about it." I say opening my eyes, standing up. I look at my watch, nothing out of the ordinary yet, Azriel, Solika and Grillby are together but everyone else seems to be doing their own thing. I turn around so Error cant see before popping a pill and my mouth.
"Timer w-what the h-h-hell was t-that?!"
"I said don't ask." I say about to continue on when something crackles and Ink's voice fills the hallways.
"All Sanses please make your way to the Library on the fifth floor. I repeat all Sanses please make your way to the Library on the fifth floor."
"I'll b-bring us there." Error says wrapping their blue strings around me and teleporting us to the Library where all the others were."
"Hey guys." Ink says as three more teleport in right after us.
"So whats up?" Dream asks.
"Well I've been looking through the AUs and I've noticed one of the AUs are having a constant Reset recently." Ink says and I stiffen,
"What does that mean?" Blue asks.
"Like every ten to fifteen minutes they're having a Reset." "That sounds horrible!" Blue and Dream say at the same time. "Yeah, I can agree. Does anybody know anything about this AU or who they are? Because I can't figure out who it is." Ink says.
"Ey Timer, you okay?" Cross asks, blowing my cover. "Yes?" I try.
"You don't sound so sure about that. Do you know anything about this AU?"
"No." I say forcing a calm voice.
"Hm.. I wonder who it could be.." Ink says pulling up a blueprint looking thing. "You guys can go, I need to question all of you so go do whatever and I'll call you when it's your turn. Dream first and Blue stay close cause you're next." "Okie!" Blue says as the rest of us teleport away.
"What the hell was that about?!" Error asks, teleporting us back to our place on the third floor.
"What do you mean?" I ask, noticing he didn't glitch during that sentence, creepy. "What do you mean?" I ask again, looking them in the eyes. "What are you so mad about?" I look at my watch making sure Frisk is still doing their own thing, They're making their way to Undyne. Maybe for training? I'll have to keep my eye on her.
"Timer, I'm being serious. What's going on? You know whose AU it is, so tell me."
"Listen, Error. I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm as clueless as everybody else. I had that reaction because having Resets like that sounds horrible, painful, and an easy way to shatter the soul." I say. "Now I'm gonna continue on."
I was the last one for Ink to call right after Error. When I finally made it back to the Library everyone was in there looking at me. "Um hi?" I say,
"Error," Ink says and Error ties their blue strings around me dangling me from the ceiling.
"Nice view and all of everyone's skulls but can you let me down or at least tell me what's going on?" I ask.
"Search him." Ink commands and Dust and Dream come up to me while Error lowers me to the ground so they can take everything out of my pockets and stuff.
"Hey, be careful!" I say. "There are a lot of small pieces that can't be replaced!" I watch them put everything in a small clear bag.
"And the watches." Ink says.
"W-what?! Wait, don't!" I say trying to wiggle my hand out so I can protect my watch but Errors strings have a good grip on me. "Please don't take the watch on my right wrist!" I try kicking Dust when he reaches for it. "Please don't!" I plead, "Don't touch it, please!" I look at the others Sanses who all have stern expressions on, even Blue which I didn't think was possible. But then again, he kinda sus, I feel Dust undo the latch, sliding my watch off, and my whole body tenses. "P-please put my watch back on!" I beg. My eyes land on Fresh who's glasses display the word 'Nod your head if you are reading'. I sigh and nod my head slightly. 'I'm sorry' I read 'I can't do anything to help you'
"His eye patch also." Ink says and I feel Dream lift my eye patch off, so I keep my eye shut. "Lift him back up." Ink says so Error's string lifts me up off the ground again and I can feel my body weakening.
"What the hell is this?" Dust asks examining my watch.
"Dunno about that one but this one is so freaking cool!" Cross says holding the watch I keep on my left arm.
"Now Timer, mind if I ask some questions?" Ink asks, walking closer to me.
"N-not threatening or anything like that but, d-dunno how much you'll be able to get outta me, but sure." I say.
"Well then, let's start." Ink says.
"Well, first question, what's so important that you constantly want to go back to your AU instead of being part of the peace meeting?"
"W-well.." I say. "I'm more of an introvert.. I don't like talking, though the past three years I didn't really have a choice, a-and I also like staying home."
"Guys," Dust says suddenly, "I think there's a soul in here!"
"F-frick!" I manage to say before everything gets blurry and I pass out.
