An Error in the Stars || Undertale AUs [Abandoned]

3.3) Blue ғɪɴᴀʟʟʏ calms down + Error is puzzled by Quill

Stretch, Snow, and Chara had finally returned from the meeting. It was a bit of an awkward moment when they opened the door, as Error and Syrah still had Blue caught in the strings, and Azzy was still hiding atop the fridge.

Stretch, Snow, and Chara had brought someone else, but they were hiding and Error could only tell that whoever was there due to his ability to sense the souls of others. Error wasn't very worried about that yet though, he was scared about the possibility of Stretch being mad at him for tying Blue up.

"Oʜ. Hᴇʏ Sᴛʀᴇᴛᴄʜ. Sᴏʀʀʏ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴇ'ᴠᴇ ɢᴏᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙʀᴏ ᴛɪᴇᴅ ᴜᴘ, ʙᴜᴛ ʜᴇ ᴋɪɴᴅᴀ ɢᴏᴛ ɪɴᴛᴏ sᴏᴍᴇ ᴄᴏᴏᴋɪᴇs. Tʜɪs ᴡᴀs ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ɪᴅᴇᴀ ᴡᴇ ʜᴀᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ʜɪᴍ ғʀᴏᴍ ʜᴜɢɢɪɴɢ ᴜs ᴀʟʟ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ," said Error, looking a bit scared.

"It's fine. He's really hard to control when he's had cookies, or really any kind of sugary food. Hopefully Muffet gave us something he can eat without going on another sugar rampage," said Stretch. "I'll look in the basket now, and you get to keep restraining Blue until he calms down. Don't worry Error, I'm not mad at you, okay? It's alright."

"Bʟᴜᴇ's ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ sᴛʀᴏɴɢ, l'ᴍ ɴᴏᴛ sᴜʀᴇ ʜᴏᴡ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ ᴍʏ sᴛʀɪɴɢs ᴡɪʟʟ ʜᴏʟᴅ ʜɪᴍ."

"Well, you'd better hope they hold for a bit longer. Luckily, if he had cookies an hour ago I'd say it should be wearing off any minute now, and then he'll probably just pass out asleep. He has very dramatic sugar rushes."

"Tʜᴀɴᴋ ᴅᴏɢ! I'ᴍ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴛɪʀᴇᴅ."

"If you think that's bad, imagine having to hold him down after some idiot gave him a lollipop. It was one of the big ones too... that was not fun," said Stretch. "Also, after Blue calms down, we can head over to where we'll be staying."

Blue then passed out asleep and started snoring, so Error reclaimed his strings. Stretch then used light blue magic to catch Blue before he hit the floor and gently set him on the couch.

"Sᴛʀᴇᴛᴄʜ, I ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ sᴛᴀʏ ʜᴇʀᴇ ғᴏʀ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ʟᴏɴɢᴇʀ! I ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴛʜᴇ Bᴀʟᴀɴᴄᴇ sᴏ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ Mᴜʟᴛɪᴠᴇʀsᴇ ᴅᴏᴇsɴ'ᴛ ғᴀʟʟ!"

"Umm, I hate to break it to you, but Fresh is the only one with the ability to cross-dimensionally teleport to or from here, and as far as I know, he is unable to take anyone with him," said Snow. "My friend Quill has the ability to make portals, including cross-dimensional ones, but the shield surrounding Startale prevents people from leaving, and he's tried to create portals out, it doesn't work."

"Wᴇʟʟ, I'ᴍ ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴛʀʏ ᴀɴʏᴡᴀʏs," said Error, before tugging at the threads of the Multiverse. A portal opened, but it was coated with a layer of impenetrable magic. "Sʜᴀʀᴅs. I ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴏ ᴍʏ ᴊᴏʙ! Tʜɪs ɪs ᴀ ʟɪғᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ sɪᴛᴜᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ғᴏʀ ᴀ ᴅᴇᴄᴇɴᴛ ᴄʜᴜɴᴋ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ Mᴜʟᴛɪᴠᴇʀsᴇ!"

"The shield around Startale doesn't care. It's very defensive, it won't let anyone out. We've all tried. I'm sorry Error," said Quill, who had come with Stretch, Chara and Snow. He had been hidden in the shadows and remained unnoticed until now.

Snow and Stretch had worried about Error possibly having a bad reaction to someone so similar to Ink, and had asked him to stay out of the way until they got everyone settled and calm. They had definitely been right to do that, as the second Error saw Quill, his bones began to rattle slightly and his magic went wild. His eyelights seemed to pulse, as magic made its way to where it could easily be accessed if he felt threatened. He involuntarily shivered, the tall skeleton's magic felt so similar to Ink's, but it was much more free, unrestrained by Fate's power. Oddly enough, it felt... familiar.
