Chapter 97- A happy family! (X-Tale)

Vega and Sirius once again wonder about the sanity of their family. Error 404 begs for rest and Origin and End reminisce on their younger years.

Just a normal family day for all!

X-Tale

"..so are we just going to ignore the fact that we turned back to normal at some point, that none of us can remember?"

Vega asked rhetorically as he very well knew that when strange things happened due to Star it was usually pushed under the rug and never spoken of again. It wasn't even a bad thing as it saved everyone's small bit of sanity that seemed to be dwindling every day...or it had always been small and they were all just delusional at just how much sanity they all had left.

"Just be thankful we are all monsters again. I'm sure that Jammy will likely cause us to inevitably switch to a human form again, going by how loudly they are scheming"

Sirius deadpanned with their more eccentric sibling giggling like a school girl a few feet away while talking to thin air. It is even more unsettling now that he realised that there were actual things his sibling was talking to.

Although a small stubborn part of him was still unconvinced that the 'Voices' were real...even when Origin had pulled him aside and had seriously said to come to him if he ever started hearing them as well, obliviously shattering his lovely denial. Apparently it was a common thing for Creators to experience with some believing the Voices were muses or a link to a far off Creator to aid in the creativity process.

At this point he wished he hadn't tried to research the Voices with what he first assumed was a mental condition was now a horrifying possibility that he might one day hear too. It's like this crazy family always liked to one up a situation when he thought he'd finally get used to something.

He didn't have the heart to even be upset with Vega laughing in his face at the mere possibility as he knew that Vega was likely to also hear Voices due to them being a technical Destroyer. Their family was an utter mess...

"...we should get more trackers for the children"

Origin muttered to End while nodding along to Star's words who was showing him pictures on their phone about where they had been. At least he had a clear idea what had happened this time and didn't have to piece together random words before Star inevitably wandered off and got bored of talking.

"Do we even have ones strong enough to survive different dimensions?"

End whispered back, narrowing his eyes at a picture that clearly showed a Deity with how the picture was a tad too bright and slightly warping in places.

It was oddly nostalgic and reminded him of their more 'wild' days before the children.

"I'm sure we can make something work. Star's new phone is a start to get a more workable idea, hopefully this one stays on them as it will make contacting them easier...maybe...It does remind me of our first date though"

Origin teased, on the same wavelength as his mate. Sighing fondly at one of his best memories. A silly lower Deity having tried to enter their multiverse which turned into a beautiful cat and mouse game to hunt them down and they got to explore and have some much needed freedom at the same time.

It was the first taste of freedom the two had and the catalyst that had ignited the start of the dissatisfaction they had for their home Multiverse. Highlighting how stifling they found the roles pushed upon them and what led them together in the end.
