Error tries not to hyperventilate as he watches the three odd monsters but is finding it hard when he knows how close his multivere is to being wiped out...

UnderVerse? Multiverse
Nightmares Castle
"Let me down! I dont need to nap longer. I want to explore and poke your pathetic variant more. Im so close to making them have a breakdown!"
Vega hissed as he tried to wiggled out of his past twins arms when did they get so strong and how was Star sleeping through all of this?!, startled when an apple plushy was abruptly dropped into his hands and staring at it in utter confusion. His tentacles curled around the bright golden item before he began viciously shredding it, cackling happily and unsure why he found it so satisfying. He was soon handed another one which was pure black, eyeing it calculatingly as he tried to think of a new fun way to destroy it.
"...im not sure which one im more scared of. The mini cthulhu, the weird love child of the twins or the guy who looks like they just want to sleep for the next century"
"Why just pick one, Killer. Also, why are we still here?! Shouldn't we be far away from this entire mess?"
Nightmare hated to say but he agreed with his idiots for once, determined to never let Killer realise this as he knew they would be rather obnoxious about it. He eyed the odd grouped a family perhaps?, a tad unsettled as the mini corrupted babybones cackled everytime they shredded a plushy and wondering where the other Nightmare who really needed a better name to call them was getting them all from but at this point was too scared to ask.
"Ooo! I know. I should rename you. Your stuck in this new family and i bet i could come up with a great name"
Vega said after destroying his tenth plushy, still amused everytime and rather satisfied how it fell apart in his hands. He snickered when Nightmares shoulders slumped, feeling they should have known by now there was no escaping the crazy Creator and Destroyer duo, or changing their mind that they were 'family'.
He doubted he would even be able to escape not that he wanted to but semantics, feeling this was very much a weird case of Stockholm setting in then an adoption. He did felt some pity for Nightmare though as while he had a chance to get somewhat used to it after being merged with Star for over a month, they were thrown into the deep end. He hadn't expected to ever see them again after he left his multiverse but it seemed that one second End was there and the next they appeared with Nightmare held by the scruff of their clothes like a misbehaving pet who tried to run away.
He bet End had just grabbed Nightmare without saying a word, unsure how his new 'parents' decided who they adopted but it seemed it was pretty random with how Jammy explained it. That Star had merely smiled and gone back to eating a plate spoke volumes and wouldn't have been shocked if Star had decided on a whim that the 'broken Nightmare' was his and that was that.
Although, it was rather nice being in this odd family unit where no one seemed to care for his random outbursts, even the most sane monster Jammy barely blinking an eye, a tad worried what kind of place any of them had come from to have those sort of reactions.
He felt a small sense of guilt when he looked up at Nightmares dim eyelights but pushed it back to get back to his main point of a name change, tired of the corrupted Nightmare looking over every time he said their name.
"..what makes you think i would agree to you naming me?"
"Your options are slim, dear brother. It's either me, yourself, which is a terrible choice or you could always let Star name you, Mr 'Broken Negativity"
He said dryly, knowing how terrible Nightmare was at naming things, even when they were young it was terrible. He still cringed at 'Mr puppy' which was given to a rabbit of all things that had passed by the tree, unsure why Nightmare had been insistent on that but it had only grown worse as time passed, very much having vetoing any nicknames.
He gained a slight sadistic joy when they grimaced and he knew he had won, as he wouldn't be shocked in Star locked in 'Broken Negativity' as a legit CHECK name. He might have mixed feelings of his old twin are they triplets now? Meeting Star really had made his life crazy as he never had these thoughts before! but he didnt think they deserved to be named that.
...the annoying Killer and pathetic Nightmare on the other hand very much would deserve that, wondering if they realised he and Nightmare could clearly hear them, grumbling but settling down when he was handed another apple plushy. He wasnt sure where they were getting these from but at this point very much didnt care, giggling as he managed to set this one on fire and eyelight brightening when he managed to get the next one to glitch,
He knew Star said they were parts of a whole and some things would be shared but he hadnt imagined this!
...well, Star didnt exactly say that but that was what he parsed out from an hour of word vomit that was interspersed with Star getting distracted and having to be brought back to the main topic. He still didn't have the whole picture of what had happened to them and felt at this rate he never would, it near impossible to get Star to do what they didnt want to.
In the meantime he could finally suggest a list of new names to Nightmare, quickly bringing out a list and cheerily going through the whole list, refusing to admit how long he had this or how many were just insulting nicknames he came up with when annoyed with them.

Error was visibly on edge, unnaturally still as he eyed the three odd 'siblings' if what the Code was saying was right. He had only dared to do the briefest scan as the feral little God had nearly taken his arm off when he tried to poke their CHECK to simply look at their names, not risking to go any deeper.
He felt Nightmare wasn't fully getting how dangerous this whole scenario was, not looking nearly panicked enough for his liking and once again mentally cursing that he would have to somehow bargain to save their multiverse despite having nothing truly of value.
He shivered as he watched the other 'Nightmare' hand over another plushy, knowing Creation magic when he saw it and feeling his SOUL grow cold when he saw them smirk at him with a rather amused look.
These three were dangerous, not in the mood to try and convince any of the other idiots how much danger they were actually in and stiffening when he saw Star open their eyes.
Time was up and he prepare his suggestion would save all their miserable lives.
Notes:
Vega: *Hissing and snarling* Let me be free! I need to destroy!
Nightmare: *Dead eyed, holding a napping Star and casually passing them an apple plushy* Have fun with this
Corrupted Nightmare: *Looking very unsettled at the scene, unsure who he is more wary of*..Are you ok?
-
Nightmare: *Suspicious why Vega is asking to change his name* Why would i let you pick my name?
Vega: *Deadpan as he reminds them of their terrible naming sense before silently pointing at Star* It's me or him. Pick your poison
-
Nightmare: *Knowing something is up with the three strangers and rather wary* Im sure with the right words i can solve this misunderstanding
Error: *Mentally praying to all Deities as he knows words alone will mean nothing to Star, contemplatively eyeing Nightmare to throw him in the future crossfire* I bet i could get far enough by the time they are done with you
