POV Xiphos/Skele

Horror finally put me down to a seat beside the dining table on a chair but I feel like I've lost warmth. He makes his way to the kitchen to cook or warm up some food and I put the book and pen on the table.

Hm... what to do... if I am being honest I don't want to go back to my 'Au' it's cold and lonely there. I know I got Paps but still...

Wait where is Papyrus...? I look around for him but don't see him. Maybe he is going around the Castle? Did he even come with me?  I hope so... Stupid emotions are still wonky, why is it so hard...? Once upon a time, I could feel like everyone else... but now it's hard...

I got startled by Horror putting his hand on my shoulder and look at his face. "You... Okay there... small one...?" he asks me. I nod at him taking the book to write down and show him
"I am fine just spaced out". I should stop doing that or I get startled every time.

He looks like he wants to ask me something else but lets it go. I notice that he has some food in the other hand and my gaze fixes on it. "I brought... you... soup that... Nightmare... made"

I still look at the soup as he puts it in front of me. It smells good... very good... better than the burnt food I made. I never got it right in those years.

I take the spoon and try the soup... It is tasty... the best thing I ate. The bowl is empty before I even notice it but I feel still hungry. My gaze falls on horror I hold on to the bowl, spoon on the table please ask me if I want more.

And he did it "You want... more...?" I nod. After a bit he came back with a new bowl of soup and puts it down "But... this time...eat slower or... you... might choke..." I give him a thumbs up and eat this time slower. This time I will savor the flavor.

When I ate the second soup I felt full it would be cool to eat like that every day.

I got picked up again by Horror while I spaced out again. He walks with me to the next room where I can hear voices.

It is the living room. There are the others who live here with Nightmare. Nightmare sits on a black couch reading a book. A second couch in the same colour is next to it and there sits a black and white-clothed skeleton.

Two other skeletons are arguing one with the hood and the other looks almost like me... so this is Killer. Stupid memories are failing me with the names... It seems like no one noticed us yet.

Why are those two glaring or arguing? The hooded one speaks "You're pathetic!" Looking at Killer. "You're pathetic-er!" Killer says back and both are ready to attack each other.
Nightmare says with an annoyed voice "You're both losers...".

"*gasp* I thought you love us boss" Killer says dramatically and fakes to be hurt by what Nightmare said. Nightmare just glares at Killer while he smirks at him.

I let out a snort and everyone looks at me. Oh welp time to shrink that is awkward for me. I never had this much attention.

Nightmare makes a sound like clearing his throat to get the attention of everyone. Everyone looks at him as he begins to speak "Like you can see we got a guest. Their Name is Xiphos. Introduce yourself to them and don't overwhelm them with questions and have in mind that they can't speak." he looks at everyone with a narrowed eye for a bit and continues to read his book.

The white-black clothed skeleton approaches first with a searching look, good luck with whatever you are looking for.

He stands straight in front of me like someone shoved him a stick up his ass. I just squirm a bit in Horror's hold nervous. "I am Cross..." he says and pulls his scarf up to hide his mouth and looks intensely at me.

"Oh come on Cross don't be like this, and hey my name is Killer and that guy behind me is Dust" Now that I look at Killer we look really almost the same. I look at Dust as he says "You know I can introduce myself..." he grumbles at Killer.

Both look at each other like they will fight again. I whip my head in the direction of the voice that calls me and it's Papyrus...

"BROTHER LOOK I GOT A NEW FRIEND!" he says to me excited. Another Papyrus...?...but as a floaty head and hands...

I let a confused warbled sound out and look at my Papyrus again. I can feel the others in the room staring at me but I just ignore it.

"AH YES I SHOULD INTRODUCE YOU BOTH. SPECTRE THIS IS MY BROTHER XIPHOS, BROTHER THIS IS SPECTRE AND HIS BROTHER IS THE ONE NAMED AS DUST. THE LAST THING BEFORE I FORGET, I GOT A NEW NAME NOW AND YOU CAN ADDRESS ME NOW AS PHANTOM NYEHEHE" he says proudly with a pose. I smile at specter nodding to him and giving Pap... I mean Phantom thumbs up.

I look back around the room and see Dust standing right beside me and  Horror.

(Notice that I still didn't set one foot on the floor will I ever use those things named legs?...)

"So you can see my brother like I can see yours too?" Dust asks me as I snap back to hear it. I look at specter then back at him and nod as a yes.

"Heh then welcome to the 'Ghostly seeing club' we are the only two in it" he says to me and stretches his hand towards me to shake. I look at his hand and hesitantly grab his to shake. As we shake it I feel the warmth in his hand too... I don't want to let go.

Unknown to Xiphos Dust gives him an unknown look when he shakes his hand.

"Okay, who wants a movie night?" Killer says bringing the attention to him. Everyone just shrugs at him. "I take that as a yes. Let's make a pillow fort" he says with excitement and goes running for some pillows and blankets.

Horror put me down on the ground.
Holy ground there you are I missed you but now it seems it got colder... That is normal right...?

I shake my head so I don't get distracted again. Watching the others would be better even if I just stand here but awkwardly. I never did such a thing.

After some time of watching how Horror just grabbed the tables without sweat and put them aside. Killer just ran back and forth with pillows and blankets. Dust and Cross were arranging where the pillows and blankets would be best to lay down. Nightmare still sitting on the couch reading and the two ghosts are talking amongst themselves.

"We are done, who's time is it now to pick a movie?" Killer asks. "It's Cross's turn" Nightmare chimes in and stops to read.

I just let Horror pick me up again with that the warmth returns. He sits down in the middle with me on his lap. On his right sits Killer and on the left side Dust then Cross. Nightmare sits behind Horror on the couch.

I think I join them. Tomorrow I will tell it Nightmare it's not like I lose something Pap... ugh I mean Phantom has someone else to talk to and not only me. 

They don't seem to be so bad if you just get to know them...
