Error was tired.

Hours, possibly even days, passed, and he destroyed every new AUs that he could. Normally, he wouldn't really bother to destroy the same amount of AUs, but the squid have been more active lately, creating new ones left and right.

Did Ink eat some poisonous mushroom he found on the ground or something? No, that squid isn't that stupid.

Is he, though?

Error shakes the thought away. Looking forward, he strains his eyes to adjust in the dark. The AU he was in was particularly darker than the rest, with so little sources of light. It was so dark he could barely see; he was just relying on his good hearing. Normally, he could at least adjust in a few minutes. However, the fatigue and stress of trying to keep up with the creator are making it harder than usual.

.

The AU ended up being very small and easy to deal with; basically, there was no reason for him to be there any longer. He started heading back, hardly paying attention to what was in front of him; he just wanted to be home and enjoy a bar of chocolate.

It was very unexpected, something his hearing couldn't pick up on—a root sticking out of the ground right next to a fairly small drop.

Error was so out of it. He hadn't even registered that he was falling until he couldn't catch himself. His chest took a lot of the impact, which wound him, but he also managed to hit his head directly on a rock. Did he hear a crack..?

He tried to sit up, but his vision was spinning, and he couldn't think straight. He was a little panicked but more focused on the pain. The pain was horrible. He was struggling for a few minutes before the pain started fading, like he was going numb. Error was lying on the floor trying to compose himself when he eventually passed out, maybe from exhaustion but probably from hitting his head.

.

When he woke up, it was still dark. He couldn't remember much of what had happened, but he had a headache. He guessed that it had been a few hours since he passed out. He slowly got up, swaying on his feet the entire time. When he eventually got up, he slowly started making his way back to Nightmare's base.

His body was in agony, but he couldn't care less; he just wanted to lie down in a bed, and since he doesn't have that in his home, he'll go to Nightmare's castle, where he actually has a bed.

It took a while, probably because he was having problems opening a portal and was moving slowly, but he finally made it back. He sluggishly walked up the stairs and entered his room; his head was still throbbing.

As soon as he walked in, he noticed the small stack of papers on his desk and shuffled over to see what they were. It was a bunch of forms and a sticky note from Violet (Unlust).

"Here are the forms; you can work on them in the morning; they're not too important. Goodnight!"

Error groaned. While he would rather do them in the morning, he had a feeling he would feel worse when he woke up and would rather sleep in. He decided that it would be easier to just get them over with now.
