Okay, so I started to figure out heights for others in NaJ - those from in it. And man, is it a pain in the butt!

There are no official height charts of any of the characters and a lot of characters are never seen next to one another in a way that I can tell how taller or shorter someone is! I needed to figure it out too, as Erratum is so tall. Height differences can do a lot in a story and change a scene in a big way. For example, no one, unless they are 8' something, can stand in front of Erratum, with Erratum standing straight by the way, and lay their head on his chest. Just no way--unless they were standing on a tall chair, ladder or table or something. Hell, Erratum has to bend down quite a bit because of his height - most doors are 6'8'' in height.

So, what I did was give a character a height I think that fit given their character in the story, if any characters were seen with that one character I made them so many inches taller or shorter depending on how it looked in the comic/drawing, and then just honestly guessed on others. Look, there are no official heights for NaJ that I could find, meaning anything goes right now. And even if there is a hidden official height chart that is suddenly found, I'm not using it.

Why?

Because I nearly started banging my head on a wall to figure out heights for all these characters--and dammit, I'm not putting them to waste!

If I do make a character list for this story, I'll add in heights for characters I've finally decided for. It's a slow process on figure out heights for everyone is all I'm saying. But at least I'm not one step away from screaming at trying to figure out even one person's height! Positives.

I've looked at some of the requests for the rewrites and new places for Erratum to fall to! I'm happy to see them. To let everyone know I'm going to be rewriting "Cops, Robbers, Strippers and Error" for sure. I'm also more than likely going to rewrite "Destroyer Meet Forced Destroyer". So no need to request any of those for rewrites. A little reminder as well, please keep all requests, for rewrites and new settings/AUs, to the Author Notes page. Just so that everything is orderly and I know where to find them easily. Please and thank you!

I know this chapter might be on the shorter side compared to my other chapters - but I actually wrote chapter 3 and 4 together. They go together. You can think of them as a Part 1 and Part 2. So, right after I post this chapter up, chapter 4 will be coming up as well!

In any case, lol, I hope that everyone enjoys the chapter~!

-Chapter Start-

"FinALlY." Erratum grumbled to himself, sitting down the sippy cups in front of his kids. Pulling out a chair, he sat at the new dinning room table. Glancing to where the children sat in their new highchairs, Erratum frowned at the food on the colorful plates in front of them. Brunt toast and slightly crispy scrambled eggs. If nothing else his new phone made it simple on how to work in the kitchen and find recipes. They seemed to be enjoying it but that doesn't mean much when they lived on nothing before. They're not like him where he doesn't need to eat to live.

Glancing around the newly furnished apartment, he took in the leather couch. He was amused to find it able to unfold out into a bed of all things. It reminded him of forming new things out of his strings in a way. In front of it was something called a 'coffee table'. Then a little distance from that was a TV on a TV stand. They had actually painted the walls of the apartment as well. The living room and hallways being painted a warm, soft pastel yellow color. He had empty picture frames in a box waiting in the closet for whenever he finally is able to take pictures to hang up. He just has to wait for his camera to fill up.

The kitchen was now fully stocked even if he didn't know what more than half of the stuff was.

The bathroom on the hand got painted a nice blue color with decorations being put on the wall. Some wall decorations looking like bubbles and ducklings.

The kids' room was all set up. Painted a soft pastel blue and orange with wall decorations on it. All the furniture set up. One side having Void's toddler bed, the other side having Null's child sized bed. The vanity was in the middle, up against the wall. He made sure to get them toys and a toy chest to put them in. Most toys he made on his own with his strings or a needle and thread.

The only room that was almost empty was his sewing/knitting room. With no reason to have a bed, as he doesn't sleep and if he wants to the couch or floor would work fine, there was only a desk, sewing machine, some fabrics, yarn, buttons and needles. He hasn't gotten around to panting it yet, having not bought enough paint but not feeling like going and getting some more just yet.

It took a week, but their home was slowly looking better and better.

Hearing the sound of a front door opening and shutting, Erratum twitched. Glancing to the front door, he hummed under his breath. He has seen his neighbor but has yet to meet her. She was an older woman, looking to be in her 50s-60s with pepper colored hair done up in a braid. Blue eyes, tan skin that spoke of being outside and usually dressed in a long skirt and blouse. She usually left in early mornings and came back late at night. James mentioned she had a job, her last year before retiring, so it must be her work hours.

Shrugging it off, Erratum pulled out his phone. Opening it up, he blinked when something popped up. Tapping it, his eyes lit up.

"HeY YoU twO TeRRoRs." Null and Void looked up at Erratum, eyes bright and happy as they munch on their food. "HoW WOuLD yOU TwO lIKe TO SEE a StAR shoWEr?"

"What's a star shower, Daddy?" Null asked with a pout. "I didn't know that stars could get dirty!"

Erratum thought back to Outertale and the various copies in which he stained planets and stars with blood and dust. "ThEY CaN, buT i'M nOT TAlkINg abOUT A ShoWER tHAt DEaLS WiTh WatER." Erratum explains, turning his phone around and showing the two children what is on it. Both gasp and look at it with starry eyes. On the screen, it shows a dark sky with stars falling. "A StAR SHoWER iS A SHoWEr oF stARs, nOT WatER."

"Ah! Ah!" Void happily claps, feet kicking up in the air happily.

"Yeah, Daddy, we wanna go!" Null cheered excitedly.

"okAY ThEN. We'LL GO WhEN yoU'RE dONE EaTiNG." Erratum nodded at their food, making the kids rush back to eating. Trying to finish as soon as they can. Erratum looks back at his phone, glancing at where the star shower was going to happen.

'Looks like I'll have to make a portal to this Australia place. Better to find a safe spot where no one is.' Erratum mentally planed. 'Might be daylight here, but it should be dark enough there to see the stars already. No use in waiting an hour or more and missing it.'

"Done~!"

"Nyaa~!"

Glancing up, Erratum snorted at the messy faces and plates. "alRiGhT. LEtS ClEaN uP AnD GeT GoinG." Erratum said, getting up after putting his phone in his pocket.

"Yaaay~!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Daddy, why is it dark here but light at home?" Null asked Erratum while he and Void were being carried.

"WhEN ThE SUN ComES UP whEre WE aRE, ThE MoON COmEs UP oN oThEr sIDE oF EaRTH. EaRtH SpINs." Erratum simply explained, not wanting to get into too much detail and confuse the kids, while walking up a cliff. Making sure not to get close to the ledge for the children's sake, he sat down a blanket he had on one arm on the grass. Sitting the kids down on it, he then sat down. Sighing when the kids decided to crawl up on his lap.

"iT ShoULD StaRT Any MOmEnT--" Erratum stated to say only to cut himself off when he notices some stars moving. "thErE WE gO."

"Oh~!" Void gasped in awe, looking up at the sky. His eyes went wide, watching it all. Null was the same, never having seen anything like it before.

Erratum snorted, for once liking watching other people instead of the stars. Watching them, Erratum felt warm. A nice warmth. Not like being set on fire, but like in a warm blanket.

'This is nice--!' Hand rushing to his own face, Erratum glitched harshly at the weird feeling he was getting.

"Daddy?" Null worriedly called out, reaching out towards Erratum.

"Da!" Void patted Erratum's knee as if trying to calm him down.

'Something is messing with my magic?! But how--it feels like my--!' Erratum's head jerked up, feeling the weird sensation. Only to silently curse when a portal opened up in the sky above the cliff. Grabbing Null and Void, he quickly shuffled back, readying for anything.

The static of the VOID rumbled in the air.

The rumble of the ABYSS echoed all around.

SOUL pounding, Erratum felt seconds away from just making a portal and jumping through it. Only the thought of whatever coming through was a danger to him and his stopped him. To at least stay and see.

Before he could do anything, even leave if he wanted to, two figures come falling out of the portal. the portal closing behind just as quickly as opening. Flinching back, Erratum pause at the sight of the two tall figures.

Eyes narrowing, Erratum tried to make them out. 'They feel young....like teenagers. Different but familiar? Why the fuck do they feel familiar?' Taking a step closer, he froze when their heads shot up.

Looking at the two, how the emotions feel their eyes in a way that remind him of those certain two even if they look different. If he didn't see them coming out of the portal like how he fell he would have thought that they were strangers even if they felt familiar. Counterparts, but Erratum doesn't think they are. When he looks at the other's eyes and their reactions--Eyes going small, Erratum's jaw drops as it hits him on who he is looking at.

"wHAt ThE hElL--SwAP?! FrEsH?!"

-End Chapter-

Gina Berry (AKA; Granny G) is 5'3'' in this story. Meaning she is below Erratum's hips in height.

James Mary Miller (AKA; The Land Lady) is 9'0''. The same height as Erratum.

Null is 3'4''. Void is 2'7''. Both are very young and will be growing over time as all children do. They're not fully grown adults after all.

I just want to say that I'm beyond flattered and happy that everyone is just as I am if not more than. I have, much to my own shock, been called a Legend. Never once thought of myself like that or someone to get that kind of title--but it's very sweet. 

Not going to lie, I love all  my readers and I enjoy your comments and reactions. People's reactions to Erratum's height alone made my day. If nothing else, if anyone wants to use Erratum (so long as I am credited, I don't mind--and tell me when it's up so I can enjoy it for myself) I'll enjoy it more than a little bit if you use his official height. Just for the possible character reactions alone.

My wonderful girlfriend put it best; "OH GOD THEY ARE TALLER THAN THE DOOR FRAME!"

Just imagine opening a door and seeing nothing but legs and possibly a bit of their hips if possible. Hell, opening a door and not being able to see their head would get a slight freak out I'd like to think. I'm going to have a ton of fun with characters reacting to Erratum. Not just his height, but all of them. Really, the the whole thing is a possible meme lol.

Also, because some people are asking, June does have a Wattpad and has Art Books there show casing her wonderful art! Her name on it is Dolos the Revenant Apprentice Witch.

She's at @VeryTrulyYours_Dolos - check her out if you want! I can't brag about her enough.

Before anyone asks as well, I do have Erratum's pairing planned out and I will not be changing my mind on it no matter what anyone says (mainly because I nearly started banging my head on a desk in trying to decide and chose--I will not be going through that again or making all the pain in picking worthless!). I won't say who it is, mainly for the shock factor for when I start showing it and I want to see all your reactions lol, but I have it thought out. I have more than a few pairings thought up for other characters as well. So, yes, pairings will be happening in this story. It will just take time getting there.

I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter~!
