Mr. Erratum

Chapter Eight

After their little mission, they had to wait a few days to see each other, since it was a friday. But when it finally rolled around to Monday, the kids could finally continue their plan. Mr. Erratum was still down, And that made them more concerned, and thus, more determined to help him. "Okay, Everything you found seems to be pretty normal, expect for that message.." Alphys reported, seemingly more confident, Undyne nodded, "yeah, why is Mr. Erratum referred to as Error? is it meant in a mean way?" Undyne asked, Paperjam shook his head, "no, i don't think so. For one, it say's happy anniversary, and since it's most likely from the people in the picture it wouldn't be used in a mean way, since they are so close, it's most likely they are family" Paperjam deduced, Alphys nodded, "yeah, Paperjam's right, i doubt it's meant as a m-mean term, it could be that Mr. Erratum isn't actually called Mr. Erratum" Alphys suspected, Killer looked at her, "so, your telling me he not only looks like Mr. Error, but has the same name as him?" He asked, Undyne eyes widened, "oh yeah! they do look alike," Paperjam nodded, "i've almost called him dad a few times because of it" He confessed. Suddenly, Dust spoke up after much silence, "Killer, give me your phone" He simply said, Killer gave him a confused look, but complied. Dust went through his phone, then pulled up the picture of Erratum's Friends, He pointed at one figure, "Killer" he said, then he pointed at another one, "Mr. Error" and then another, "Horror" and another, "Cross" He said, "Lust" He pointed, "Me" He finished. Undyne hummed, "Damn, your right, but, who's Mr. goopy?" She asked, No one answered, until "i have no idea, but damn, he's scowling like Nightmare!" Paperjam replied, Horror then spoke up, "We could ask Mr. Erratum about it" He casually said, Finishing his food, Undyne gaped at him, "Are you crazy? what are we going to say? 'oh Mr. Erratum! we broke into your house and want to ask about these adults, also, is your name really Erratum?" She said in a mocking tone, Horror shrugged, "Sure, if you want" Undyne shook her head, but said no more, "Y'know, you might be on to something horror" Paperjam said.

"Paperjam! are you crazy!?" Undyne asked, He shrugged, "maybe, but what else can we do? Mr. Erratum's been gloomy for almost a week now, and it doesn't look like it's going to end soon," He replied, "If you want, i'll do it on my own" Paperjam offered, Undyne shook her head, "No you idiot! if your doing it, i'm going it too!" She cheered, Fresh nodded, "i'll come to," He said, Killer and Horror nodded their heads, replying with a 'us too'. Killer looked over to Dust, "You coming?" He asked, Dust thought for a moment, then replied hesitantly, "Sure i guess... i was apart of it too..." Paperjam cheered, "great! Let's find Mr. Erratum!".

At Lunch, the children waltzed into Erratum's Classroom, Determined for answers. They found him staring into space, leaning on his left hand. "Mr. Erratum!" Paperjam clicked his hands in front of Erratum, He snapped out of his trance, and looked at the children, "HeLLo KiDS, iS tHeRe ANyThInG YoU wanT?" He asked, paperjam nodded, "yes, answers" He said pulling out his phone, which had the photo of the group.

He sighed, "I woNt QuEstIoN HOW yOu fOuND AlL oF tHis... wHaT aRE yOuR QUeStiOns" Erratum replied after a large silence, Paperjam paused, no thinking it was going to be so easy, "oh okay then... who are these people?" He asked, pointing at the photo, "GoOd fRIENds Of MiNE" He simply replied, although, you could see his eyes sadden, "no, what are their names?" He asked, Erratum sighed, But hesitantly replied, "KiLleR, duSt, HoRrOr, CrOSs, LusT AnD NiGhTmArE" He replied, Paperjam nodded, "i see... where are they?" He asked, Erratum's mood visibly lowered, "MOsT LiKeLy DeAD," he uttered, Everyones eyes widened, then Undyne asked a question, "Why does the card say Error? shouldn't it say Erratum?" She asked, Erratum stayed silent, then replied, "NO tHe NAme IS cOrRect" He answered, Killer piped up, "So your name is Error?" He asked, Erratum gave a hesitant nod, Fresh then spoke up, "Why does everyone look so similar?" Fresh questioned, Before Erratum could answer, the bell went off, He sighed "GeT To clASs CHiLDREn, MAybE I WiLL anSwER ThAT QUeStiOn iN The fUTUre" He spoke vaguely, They all nodded and headed of to class.

While in class, every one of the students questioned, over thought, and tried to decipher all Erratum said, tried to find the missing piece, why did he change his name? why does he think they are dead? why are those people almost the same as us? who is Mr. Erratum? These kind of questions floated around the students heads for the next two Hours, and it was obvious, And then finally, after two hours, the students could ask for more answers.

They all arrived back to Mr. Erratums classroom, ready to ask questions, and hopefully receive answers. When they arrived, Erratum was sitting in his desk, facing them. He had an expression that told them he already expected us to come back, "OkAY whAT DO YoU waNt TO kNow?" He asked, getting straight to the point. "what about the question Fresh asked earlier?" Paperjam asked, Erratum sighed, knowing he had some explaining to do, "tHey LoOk sImILar BeCaUSE ThEY ARe YOu" He stated.
