Make It Possible [Underverse]

Day 2

Ink blinked a couple of times. Well, he didn't have anything else to do except talk to Error... Who was just sitting there... Doing, seemkngly, nothing...

So the skeleton started walking towards the other, his head held up high, because apparently doing so boosts your self-confidence.

Yeah, that didn't really work for Ink. But he still kept on bravely marching in the other skeleton's direction.
When he was right behind Error, he cleared his throat, making the glitching skeleton turn to him.

"Oh, iT's yOu..." Error scoffed, once again turning his back to Ink, who squinted his eyes at that.

"Who else would it be?... We're all alone here... I think."

"... WhAt do yOu MeAn wE're al-" Error started saying something, only to pause mid-sentence, as if he realized something and changed his mind about saying whatever he wanted to say. He shook his head instead and sighed.

If Ink had eyebrows, he would've raised one at that moment. He guessed what Error wanted to say and... Honestly, was the Destroyer finally starting to SEE things as well?
"Well, duh. When I woke up, nobody was around... Well, except you... But yeah! Also I think I'm starting to go nuts, y'know? I think I was talking to myself and-"

"HoW arE You DoInG tHis, Ink?" Error spoke solemnly, a tiny trace of irritation audible in his voice.
Said skeleton blinked a couple of times in confusion. What was Error going on about again?...

"... Doing what, Glitchy?"

"THIS ExAcT tHiNg!" Error shouted, turning to face Ink, who stood there, with shock written on his face. "YoU'rE acTinG LiKe nOThing HAppEned, WhEn EVERYTHING hApPened!"

"...Error... You know how much I regret helping Him. What else am I supposed to do or say?..."

"I'm nOT tElLinG yOu to Do SoMethIng!" Error growled in annoyance, though he seemed calming down a tiny bit with each passing second. "I'm... I'm TeLlIng yoU thE opPosiTe... I wAnT yOu... tO stOP." the skeleton looked Ink dead in the eyes as he said that, not even blinking ONCE.

Despite starting to catch on to what Error was talking about, the artist asked anyway:
"S-stop what?..."

The look that the Destroyer was giving him sent shivers down his spine and he didn't even know why...
"... You know what." Error spoke, his voice lacking its usual glitches. He turned his back to the Artist again, but kept on talking:
"Stop pretending like everything's fine, Ink..." he paused, only to start back up again. "Ink... You lied. To everyone. To me, to... Cross... All the Anomalies that somehow got involved... And they all suffered because of that..."

"... I know."

"I know you know. But it's not enough..." Error peaked over his shoulder to look at the other skeleton. "Ink, I know something happened to you during that fight, I know you too well to not have noticed that... And it was easy for everyone to notice at that time, to be honest..."

"What do you mean?" Ink asked, crossing his arms over his chest and looking away- he didn't feel like looking Error in the eyes, for some reason...
The said skeleton fully turned to him.

"Ink, during our entire fight, you were emotionless. You hadn't taken your vials, so you couldn't feel anything." the destroyer squinted. "But suddenly, you did. Your pupils went back to being colourful, so I could tell you were feeling SOMETHING." he said slowly, trying his best to maintain a normal voice for this conversation in particular.

None of them even noticed when Ink's vial sash disappeared.

"That's... True." the artist blinked, finally looking at Error. "But where are you going with this?..."

"... Tap the place where your soul should be, as if you were trying to summon it." Error said simply. Ink thought he was joking at first... But he was being dead serious.

"Error, there's no point! I don't have a soul, what result would that give us?"

"JusT do IT!" Error snapped, his voice starting to glitch again. No matter how funny it seemed to be, Ink decided to not point anything out and just did as he was told...

What a surprise they got, when a pure white soul appeared in front of Ink's chest, illuminating the artist's entire body.
The skeleton himself nearly fell over from the shock, the Destroyer merely making a surprised expression.

Error sent Ink a smirk, though it seemed to be wavering a bit.
"LoOks lIkE I wAs riGht..." he chuckled awkwardly, glancing at the soul briefly. "I HavE nO idEa hOw... bUt yOu havE a souL nOW apPaRentlY!"

...

...

...

... You didn't tell me you gave him a soul.

Yeah, I know, sorry.

... What exactly... Is the purpose of giving Ink a soul?...

Oh, just you wait, Lord G!
