Mr. Erratum

Chapter Two

(*Edited into 3rd Person*)

It's been a few day's since Erratum's strange in counter with Ink. Blue and Ink seem really excited for something. However, Erratum wasn't sure if they just were always like that. Erratum was knitting on his bed when he was startled by two loud squeals from the kitchen. He hesitantly got out of bed, and walked towards the noise.

When he entered, he could see Blue and Ink beaming at something on Ink's phone. "WHat aRE yOu TwO DOiNg?" Erratum questioned, staring at them in confusion. Blue turned around with a large grin on his face, "We got you a job!" He exclaimed. Erratum stared back at him, "WhAT?" He asked. Ink only gave him a large grin, "You're working with us as a design technology teacher!" He answered.

"hOW did YoU mAke Me AgReE WiTh This?" Erratum asked in confusion. Ink gave him a mischevious smile, "Because- we're working in a similar department! We'll get to work together!" He reminded Erratum happily.

Erratum nodded, "As yOu hAvE sAId" He agreed, "NoW, whY AM I dOinG thIS?" He repeated, only gaining a cheerful smile from the other skeleton. Erratum sighed, making Ink laugh. "C'mon you'll do fine!" Ink reassured, making Erratum relax slightly despite himself.

Ink froze, "Gah! We only have five minutes left!" He cried out, startled. "YEah, wE've BEen wAiTIng fOR YoU foR thE PAsT 10 mInUtes, BlUE IS geTtiNG WOrRIED," Erratum responded, causing Ink to look up to him in confusion. "What? How do you know that?" He inquired, making Erratum give him an unimpressed look. Erratum pointed at Ink's phone, ""It'S gOiNg OF Every 3 sEcoNDS" He told the skeleton. Another second passed, and just like he said, Ink's phone went off.

Once Ink was ready they all entered Blue's car. It didn't take too long, apparently because not many people drive at the early hours of four AM. After arriving, they entered the unfamiliar building Ink called a, 'school'.

Ink and Blue led Erratum towards a room labelled 'staff room'. Blue opened the door, and as he entered, "we're here Nightmare!" Blue shouted into the room, just as Ink went to place his bag down on the table.

Multiple skeletons sat within the room. One skeleton, who was originally sitting on a chair by the computers at the back, turned sharply to look at Blue. He stood up, and briskly walked over to them, his features startling familiar to Erratum.

Purple eyes glared at the three of them, or more accurately- Ink. "You're late" He commented, crossing his pale white arms. Erratum stared in wonder, looking at the skeleton who couldn't've been anyone else but Nightmare. Nightmare sighed, "What did I tell you- oh" Nightmare paused in his words, his gaze landing on Erratum himself.

He gave Erratum his hand, shaking it slightly before pulling away. "You must be our new design technology teacher. Erratum, right?" He asked, giving Erratum a curious look. Erratum nodded lightly, "uH- yEAH" He responded dumbly, unsure of what to say to the copy of Nightmare.

Nightmare didn't seem to mind Erratum's lack of response. "I'm Nightmare. I'm the history teacher around here" He informed Erratum, before waving Erratum over closer to the large table in the middle. "Come here, let me introduce you to the rest of us" He offered, before turning to look at the rest of the occupants in the room.

Nightmare coughed, gaining the attention of the rest of the people in the room. Erratum instantly noticed how familiar their features were, making him feel nervous. "Everyone. This is Erratum. He's our new design technology teacher" He told the group. None of them seemed surprised by this information, making Erratum wonder if it wasn't their first time hearing it.

Nightmare pointed at two skeletons Erratum instantly recognized as Dream and Sci. "That's Sci and Dream. They're the maths and music teachers respectively" He explained to Erratum. Dream barely had enough time to give Erratum a small wave, before Nightmare moved on to the next person.

He then pointed at a skeleton Erratum recognized as Reaper. "That's Reaper" His tone was slightly clipped, "He is our Drama teacher. And that's-" He pointed at a skeleton Erratum couldn't identify, due to their head being firmly planted on the table. "-Geno! Wake up!" He hissed, his words unsuccessful in waking Geno up.

Reaper placed a hand on Geno's back, "Leave him be Nightmare" He growled back, making Nightmare roll his eyes in distaste. Erratum had the oddest feeling that the two didn't like each other. Nightmare looked back at him, "Geno's the science teacher. And over there-" He then pointed at a skeleton Erratum knew was Alter. "-Is Alter. He's our English teacher" He said.

Alter, despite looking rather meek, opened his mouth as if he was about to argue. Nightmare huffed, "Get an easier surname then, Alter" He snapped, making Alter shut his mouth instantly, looking upset. While Erratum wasn't exactly sure what that was about, it was obvious that wasn't the first time they've had that conversation.

Nightmare looked around the room for a moment, before landing on two people Erratum recognized as Dance and himself. "Over there is Error and Dance. They're our P.E teachers" He pointed out. Erratum could only give a little nod, startled at the almost carbon copy of himself sat by Dance.

Error huffed, "You know it's rude to point at people, Nightmare" He joked, causing Nightmare to scoff. The skeleton seemed both amused and annoyed at the same time.

Completely ignoring Error, Nightmare looked around the room. When he obviously didn't find what he was looking for, he frowned. "Does anyone know where Mo-" Alter spoke up, cutting Nightmare off, "He's going to be late" Alter explained, making Nightmare's frown deepen.

He stayed silent for a moment, "What about Ast-" He began, before being cut off by Reaper this time. "He's sick" Reaper grumbled out, his words short. Nightmare huffed, annoyance bubbling through him. "How about Co-" Ink grinned beside Erratum, "She's cleaning out her classroom again" He informed Nightmare.

This didn't seem to surprise Nightmare. "...What about Sans?" He asked. At everyone's silence, the skeleton scoffed. "What? Don't any of you know where he is?" He spoke incredulously, crossing his arms.

Dream frowned, "uh... Nightmare" He started, giving his brother- were they even brothers here?- a concerned look. "It's not even five yet" He reminded the skeleton of the time. Nightmare stared for a moment, before harshly coughing, "Yes. I remember. Don't be stupid" He bit out, ignoring Reaper and Error's snickers.

He turned to Erratum. "Well. You'll meet the rest later" He told Erratum, looking slightly awkward. His tone then gained some confidence, "What are you all doing here?! Come on, you've all got class soon!" He exclaimed, earning many groans from his fellow teachers.

Ink snickered, pulling Erratum towards the door. "...ThAt WaS..." Erratum started, gaining a laugh from the bright eyed skeleton, "Pretty good, right?" He responded, seemingly unaware of Erratum's hesitant tone. "...yEAH" He agreed after a pause. Not sure if he was telling the truth or not.

Ink nodded happily, "You're lucky, you know" He told Erratum, "Nightmare didn't even introduce me when I started, He must like you" He told Erratum, pulling him outside the staff room.

Blue sighed beside him. "Do you want us to show you to your classroom Erratum?" He asked, making Erratum nod. Blue grinned, "Great! Come on, it's this way" He started.

Erratum watched nervously as his first class started to walk into the classroom. Many faces he recognized, such as Killer, Dust and Horror, who were talking with an unfamiliar, dark boned skeleton. Over all, there seemed to be around fifteen students in the classroom.

They all quickly took their seats without prompting. Erratum waited for them to quiet down, before he started to speak. "i'M yOur NeW dESIgn TEchNOLogY TeAchER. yOu Can CalL mE mR. eRRaTUm" He told the class.
