Day 1: Ink (Warm Up)

∆^∆^ Ink ^∆^∆

All was calm in the DoodleSphere today. At least for now. Before Nightmare or Error ruins it for today. I thought, just a tad bitter.

Though however short the peace lasts, I enjoy looking at the constantly shifting AU's. Their people living on by my protection and the creativity of others.

I mainly come out here in this speckled void to draw. When I'm not fighting or checking in with Dream, it helps my paper come to life.

All is well. All is calm.

That is...

Until I see a new AU pop up in the corner of my eye. What is that one? I might as well check it out! I thought.

Something felt off though, when I took my paintbrush to open the portal. This situation feels different somehow, I remarked to myself when I came into the AU.

I was surprised to say the least. All that sat in the black void was a human child, only a bit taller than me. She was surrounded by blankets and pillows.

When she turned to me I noticed her glasses and bright blue hair hidden beneath a forest green beanie.

She saw me, and her face lit up. "Hi! I'm Kyan. What's your name?" Kyan held out her hand, though it was more just her sleeve from the lime oversized sweater she wore.

I shook it apprehensively, still shook by the AU itself. It was so... Empty. How is she so positive? Nevertheless Kyan smiled and turned back around, resuming whatever she was doing before I dropped in.

I was puzzled by the small brick in her hand that had words appearing beneath her fingers. "What's that?" She jumped, forgetting I was still there.

"Oh this? It's a cellphone!" She held it out for me to look at. I look at her inquisitively, my eyelights reflecting my confusion through question marks.

"What's the difference between a phone and a 'cellphone'?" Kyan seemed caught off guard by my question. She sat in thought for a moment before continuing her explanation.

"A cellphone is like a phone, but better! It can do more, though I usually use mine for just one thing."

"What's that?" She looked up at me and gave the brightest smile I had seen in a while.

"Why, I use mine to write!"

A/N
Hello! It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been really busy with school and another writing project (taking a break from The Flight For Our Lives, sorry) and haven't been able to upload anything... At all...

But! What matters now is I'm back, and will be writing small stories for the prompts above! Good news is I'll be doing it all month! Yay! Now I only plan for them to be around 300~ words, but I never know with my writing. Expect prompts to be this size or longer!

Happy Inktobertale everyone,
