Of Fears and Destruction

ButtonTale (8)

"Ey, Alphy-hend, you said you were gonna test your portal again?" Daunt got rid of the image Neutralize had created from what they were saying by asking Apprehend this. She brightened at the reminder and snickered over the pun. "Yeah, you remember it? You know, last time, when I specifically told you not to interact with anything as to not cause any anomalies but then you had to bring back this divine being here,—"

"I am nOt a DiVine bEInG—,"

"Yeah, yeah whatever, god of destruction." Apprehend just continued her monologue, "and probably cause chaos for whatever hell of a Multiverse that was. Actually, it probably was already in chaos since he's the god of Destruction or whatever. If I'm not wrong, then by my calculations, the Multiverse that he was in should have impacted "the originals", or whatever Error called them."

Error felt himself perk up at that. The originals were destroying themselves... already? He thought that it would take a much longer time...

Was time going faster here or slower there? Wait, isn't that basically the same thing as that question with a glass with water up to half? Nobody shall ever know~

'Hold on a second..., how would she know that, when the only portal she opened to that Multiverse was the anti-void? She isn't stupid enough to open them without knowing the potential dangers...' he sighed. 'Screw this, I can't give another f*ck about it.'

Neutralize figured that Daunt would probably not want to talk about that right after he thought Error was gone, but... they couldn't help themselves. "Perhaps we can ask Pap-ralyze?" Dread asked, standing—er, floating beside Neutralize. "He is the closest one to Daunt, after all... oh! Maybe uncle Asgore—er, Reverence, could tell us? Isn't he like an uncle to Daunt?"

Neutralize nodded and walked out of the lab. It was a miracle how they had done a Pacifist run with that sadistic nature of theirs... Error could only try to imagine how a Genocide run would actually go. The AU was quite different... but, then again, would any of them let another monster they care about be killed without any vengeance?

Solitary suddenly frowned and shook her head. "But, dear Apprehend, isn't that festival only a week or so ahead?"

"Hehe, don't worry, I checked how the time flows there, and it's not so different! So as long as they don't die there or get into a coma for more than a week, then they won't miss it!"

Daunt flicked Apprehend's forehead, "I'm pretty sure your Karma there doesn't like the thought of you going into somewhere unknown alone."

"...I am not weak, just reminding you." Apprehend seemed to be tired of reminding people about this. Error felt like he found yet another thing out. The Alphys here actually knows how to fight? If it was a genocide run, would she fight the human too?

What is with these thoughts of genocide runs anyway?

Karma sighed and just rubbed the space above her eyes before turning and leaving, "...don't die there Daunt... as for Error, who can't die, don't worsen your injuries." Mono glanced at the time before saying, "My, it seems like I have to leave, my show starts in several hours. Queen Toriel, I ask of you to help me take my place here until I come back. Take care, don't die." He then, too, left.

Solitary nodded briefly before going up the stairs and leaving only Daunt, Error and Apprehend in the...lab...observing room...is it considered a hospital too? Ah, whatever. It's confusing.

Meanwhile, with Error. 'Why did everyone suddenly leave? Is it something with Apprehend's experiments...? And when did I agree to go with this?! Being ignored like this feels really weird... probably because something like this has never happened to me...' he tries to remember anytime in his time as a destroyer when he just sat there and nobody really screams and run away or call Inky... yeah... was there anytime when something like this happened? Maybe when he was still insane and nobody knew him?
