The tailor and the vampire lord: ON HOLD

5: Waking up in a new multiverse...again

Sorry it's been a while, i'm not doing well. But hey this isn't a venting fic and this aint therapy, not that i can ever afford that, so i'll just keep writing. 

Don't mind if this didn't come out very good or there's a lot of mistakes, i'm kinda a little drunk rn while finishing this off after a really bad week.

When Error woke up for the second time he immediately felt very confused.

The last thing he remembered was that losing fight with a Gaster forcing him to retreat through a portal and took the kids with him then he...passed out?

Error opened his eyes abruptly feeling faintly panicked, finding himself lying on his back he tried to find if the kids came with him. And to his relief the kids are still with him and lying right next to him seeming to be asleep. 

But looking around them he noticed that this place...this didn't look like the AU he tried to jump into. The portal was meant to land them in UnderSwap. 

It was the safest AU Error could think of in that moment.

Blue, the Sans of that AU had always told him he was welcome there if he needed it, regardless if his lazy brother approved of him or not. But he had never taken him up on that offer, he didn't want to impose on the friendly San's kindness or trusted that Blue's brother wouldn't sell him out. He especially didn't want to drop in and get in the way with these two children and disturb their peace but in the middle of that fight he couldn't think of anywhere else.

but this place wasn't Blue's home.

Where they landed was on a bed of moss in the middle of a forest clearing that did not at all look familiar to Error, who had seen and just about memorized the environment and layout of every AU there was. Looking up Error would find the biggest clue of them all, the sky was the most obvious hint that they weren't even in the underground to begin with. And all Error could think was.

"Just wh3re 1n th3 mult1vers3 ARE w3??"

Pulling up a screen to the AU's code comes quickly as second nature to Error, but what popped up when he did so gave him pause. Lines upon lines of code that made up this very AU's existence scrolled at speeds as he tracked each line as it passed. But this code looked...odd to him.

This felt like a whole new language with only bits and pieces that were familiar and the rest didn't' make much sense, which he found very weird as code doesn't just change like that, it shouldn't.

Unsure of what he was seeing he pulled up another screen and the air was now swimming with new lines of code. These lines of code were about as nonsensical as the ones before it. 

Sighing Error got himself comfortably sitting and pulled the unconcinece children into his lap and settled to be here for a  while and started to read through the code in front of him. The children didn't even react to being moved and remained asleep.

Error read the lines of code very slowly and methodically trying to form a meaning to the code he was reading, piecing the little bits he could recognize and try to understand what it all meant from there. It was slow and tedious work and he can feel the telltale twinge of a headache coming in but he powered through his discomfort and kept reading. 

Though how much time he's spent is unclear to him as he's grown so focused the passage of time slipped away yet seemed  to drag to a slow crawl simultaneously. He didn't seem to be reaching any conclusion and growing more and more confused and lightly frustrated as the words and numbers started to blur together as his headache came with a vengeance in his skull.

It was purely because he was going so slow that his gaze passed over a specific line of code, He blinked repeatedly trying to clear his vision and read it again as his brain finally clicked on what it meant. But what it read soon sent his vision swarming with error messages as he almost induced himself into a crash in shock.
