Sweetheart (Errorink)

Ill-fated Education

Ink's POV

Error and I were once again sat in silence in the living room on the sofa, it had become a daily habit for us. Occasionally we'd share a few words but other than that we rarely talked, which was sad.

"Hey, Nightmare told me you found an interesting trick about deleting the AUs?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah I did. I would've thought you'd have known about it so I didn't bring it up."

"..I don't know any 'tricks' to destroy them faster or anything, care to share?"

"So, you know when you delete the background and stuff?"

"Yeah?"

"Well if you open a portal whilst the AU is deleting itself it spreads to the AU on the other side of the portal."

"It does?"

"Yeah, it does! It's weird, but I didn't look into it too much since I needed to confront Nightmare about something and well I didn't have time to try anything else after that."

"I'll have to try to test it out later, you destroyed it automatically right?"

"Yeah, I dunno how to do it manually."

"I wonder if it works the same way manually, like if I were to hit something with my strings when there's a portal nearby would it spread to inside of that AU? If so that'd be a slow but widespread way to get rid of AUs."

"Yeah.. just don't destroy too many of them.."

"How come you were just fine with giving up creating AUs the moment you joined the Gang?"

"The AUs create themselves, I only help the Creators with ideas for their AUs."

"..I've seen you make AUs before."

"Well, yeah. I have the ability to make AUs, I just rarely do it because I feel like I'm taking away the Creators ideas and everything like that, ya know?"

"I don't understand you, but to be honest I don't want to make any effort to understand either."

"Fair enough, I understand that. Only the smartest individuals can take time out of their day to try to understand the likes of me, Ink, the greatest creator of them all~!"

"Was that your way of saying 'fuck, he's not interested in why I act like this so I must insult him to the point he tries to figure me out'?"

"..Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't~! You'll never know since you're not smart enough to try to figure me out~!"

"Uh huh.. hey, do you know about disassembling AUs?"

"You mean destroying them..?"

"No, I mean disassembling them. As in pulling their code apart to the point where it doesn't function properly but the AU itself can still be accessed and repaired by the Creator."

"No.. you didn't tell me about that."

"Oh, I must've forgotten or some shit. Well, that's a thing that can happen."

"What do you mean by it can only be accessed and repaired by the Creator?"

"I didn't say it could only be accessed and repaired by the Creator but.. that's what we guess, we haven't been able to find ways to repair the AU by ourselves so we just came to the conclusion that only the Creator can fix it."

"Ooh, I see, that makes sense! Since the Creator made it it'd make sense they'd be the only one with Admin access."

"Well, no because if that were the case we shouldn't be able to destroy it or take it apart."
