A Tale of Destiny

((Heheh on the dot upload.))

"So, let me get this straight." He pressed his hands together before pointing both at the unusual yet glaringly mundane skeleton in front of him, talking to the one beside him.

"This is Classic himself, sometimes possessed by an ancient being called Destiny that is only there because it'll die if it's not, and that is because the Multiverse is going to die- and you expect me to believe that?"

"Do I look like a liar, Black?"
"No, but you might have completely gone insane."
"We both thought we were insane, too." Said Classic, sighing.

The swapfell regarded him drily. "I thought you said you didn't want anything to do with the Multiverse. What brings you out now if that's the case?"

"If everything's falling apart and we're all going to the same place regardless of Universe, I figured it would be helpful to know a little more about things before it got too late. I know there's plenty of dangerous folks out there, I'd prefer to know who they were and to know who would have my backbone if things got bad. Wouldn't you agree with that sentiment?"

"If you have an all-powerful being willing to help you with whatever you could ask for, wouldn't that be redundant?" He pointed out.
"I don't trust it that much, buddy."
"Fair point."

They had a sort of staring contest between each other, no one really knowing what to say as Blackberry studied this supposedly original Sans in distaste as well as intrigue. Then he sighed, hands falling to his sides.
"Well, I'm sold."

"What? Just like that?" Outer questioned in surprise as the other blinked.
"Yes, why not? There's been stranger. Besides, it's pretty damn creative. You two clearly aren't the types to put actual effort into a story like that." He sighed, turning away.
They followed, forced to speed up as his high heels granted him long enough strides to be faster.

"Though I will admit, if you're trying to keep such a thing secret to the point of stopping time, why didn't you do that here?" He glanced back, again curious as a faint navy blue flashed in the other's eyelights.

"Apparently Fate doesn't care about this place, and Destiny considers it some kind of haven where people aren't controlled by Fate using Resets or.." He paused, an odd look on his face. "Just Resets." He corrected, looking mildly disturbed.

Black just shrugged it off, marching on through the streets of the Omega Timeline. "Then why me and Epic?"
"Look at him, not me." Classic gestured to Outer with a look of tired resignation.

Outer seemed slightly called out, but straightened his jacket with a tug before answering.
"I spoke with Destiny, and they need help understanding how to communicate with people. A lot of help. That, and you two are the best candidates for explaining the dangerous side of the Multiverse since the disappearances started."

"You have a fair point on that last part." He noted with refined pleasure. "I can certainly help educate someone over the parts of the Multiverse, though given the circumstances, keeping it the the living threats rather than nonliving would be what you prefer now, wouldn't it?"
"Yeah. Probably a better idea." Classic agreed lazily, regarding the buildings they walked past rather suspiciously.

"Where exactly do you find Epic?"
"We agreed to meet him in a coffee shop, but I know it's across from a pet store, so he's likely fawning over the animals instead." Black sighed, slowing down a little. "That, or if we're lucky, he's only cramming a dozen cookies in his mouth. Didn't you meet him once during the Event?"

Classic scowled slightly before mellowing back out. "First thing he did was offer me a cookie."
Outer snorted beside him. "That's basically Epic half the time. He and Fresh don't take anything seriously…" He trailed off and frowned, not noticing as Classic stopped dead in his tracks.
"He's another one of the missing."
