No More Freshness

~∆~Ch. 21~∆~

  "So, yer 100% sure dat you can't leave dis darn place?"

  "Y-yeah, Fresh. I'll  instantaneously dust if I do, " was the reply. Fresh sighed and looked down, contemplating his options.

  "So..  Who do you want me ta get first? Ink, Deccy, or Error? " Geno thought for a minute.

  "Umm.. T-try Error first. Then Ink, then Deccy. But... Be careful, okay? From what I remember, Error doesn't like you all that much. I know it's gotten better, but still," the skeleton gripped his scarf when Fresh looked up at him.

  "Brother, do y-you still not h-have any emotions?"

  Fresh wanted to shake his head, but he wasn't really sure any more.

  "It's strange, really. I feel like I have them, but I sorta feel like 'a don't based on the fact that I just don't.. Don't understand it? I think that'd be da way ta put it."

  "So...  A-Alexythemia? "

  "Izzat wut it iz? Hmm. I guess so."

  Fresh opened a portal, giving a slight wave to Geno and stepping through, walking into a plain white space. Or at least, it was white until you looked up.

  The entire ceiling was covered in blue strings and dolls being held by them. 'That's Error bro all right, ' Fresh thought as he walked around. He stopped when he heard glitchy sobbing coming from the distance. He began to run towards the cries, stopping when he saw Error sitting there, his back turned.

  "I d0n't-T UnD€R-R-rSt@-AnD! Wh0 @r-r€ ThEs€-E ¶€0¶lE! $T0¶ £T!" Error sobbed, scratching ruts into his skull. Fresh was utterly surprised at how much more glitched his voice was. He wasn't sure if it was his actual voice now, or if it had something to do with the voices he could hear in Error's head.

  "We'll never tell you who they are! You should've been smarter and remembered!"

  "Even if we did, they wouldn't care about you anymore! They never did! "

  "Yeah, your a pathetic glitch! Why haven't you died already, coward!"

   "D0N't y0u t#iNK I'v€ T®i€d? " his voice was desperate, and Fresh decided to step in.

  "Error bro, it's okay! We do care, you're okay!" He called out, knowing how much Error hated physical contact. Error whipped around and saw Fresh, immediately crashing. Fresh walked over and sat in front of him, waiting patiently.

  He looked around, seeing two dolls that stick out from the rest. It was him and Geno. But.. But the voices stated that he didn't remember. Fresh wasn't able to elaborate as Error blinked the glitches out of his eyes.

  "W-who are you?" Error asked cautiously. Good, his voice wasn't too bad. Still glitchy, but understandable.

  "So... You don't remember me or Geno?" He asked, pointing up at the dolls of the two. Error dropped them with his strings and they fell into his hands. He looked at the Fresh doll, then back to Fresh.

  "You're the kid from my dreams, " he stated flatly. Fresh tried not to laugh as he replied;

  "I'm flattered."

  Error's face turned pure yellow and Fresh busted out laughing at his brother's sputtering.

  "I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Whew, wow, what a reaction. But, Error, I'm yer brother. Those dreams ye were havin' weren't just dreams, dey were memories, " said Fresh with a small frown. Error sat there wide-eyed and looked at Fresh.

  "O-Ok. I'm guessing that the Geno guy you talked about is a brother too?" With a nod of Fresh's head, Error continued, "then- wait, how did you get here?"

  "Portal. Speakin' a which, we gotta get goin' ta Geno."

  Fresh opened a portal and waved Error to it. Error stood up and carefully walked through, caution in his stride. Once through, Fresh called for Geno.

  "Geno brah, I got Error bro!"

  A small skeleton, shorter than Error but not Fresh ran to them, tripping on their scarf and almost falling, but Fresh cought them.

  "Woah, sorry F-Fresh! Anyways, h-hey Error, welcome to the s-save screen!"

  Geno looked at Error, who was hiding behind Fresh, a strange sight in itself. Geno adjusted his scarf and apologized, Error nodded and stepping out from behind a confused Fresh afterwards.

  "Welp, looks like we're all back tagether!" Fresh exclaimed, Geno and Error nodding behind him.

  "N-Next is Ink,  " Geno said quietly.

  The three sat together and planned for a way to get to Ink. Together, could they save all of their friends and get them together?

  Dark, darker, darker still, 
These children sit and make a plan;
To save their friends is the appeal,
But I will knock it down again.

Bright, brighter, brightest yet,
This one child sits in blinding light;slowly dying from a horrid debt
Their father repaid every night

Purple, Blue, and Black galore;
The bruises cover everywhere
He wanted to yell so much before
But now hurts to much to care

Even though he's not to blame
for his father's ways,
he blames his hospital fame;
That is where he spends his days.

But now he sits here, fast asleep
As his friends try to plan salvation
But his soul is now mine to keep
to leave is no longer his ambition.

He no longer has control
Of what his choices are.
I now play that higher roll
And I will raise the bar.

I will make his father pay
For what he did to this skeleton
The poor one left out to decay
saved a ton by emotionless mercy.
