_____________
Acer was sitting on the balcony with Acrylic looking at a picture of Path in the tablet, she smiled but tears start to drip down her face. "I miss him." She says, her tail draped across the ground.
Glass hummed to herself in the kitchen, Mallory asleep in a sling she had tied around herself, working on making the first batch of pizza dough for dinner.
Recon was in the living room, he was there entertaining Glitchy as he woke up earlier. Recon had used his strings to make a doll of Glitchy, his Multiverse Fresh, Reese, and himself. Glitchy was telling how Fresh and himself acted, while Recon controlled his and Reese's actions as they played a game of house. Chronos and Breeze were still asleep, but one the food was done, Recon would go fetch them.
Glass hummed to herself as she picked up the pizza dough and tossed it in the air with a spin. Night eventually came down from the Infirmary after getting himself out from under his brother and sat down in the main room oposite Alpha and Cherry watching Cherry run around in circles around where his brother was seated on the floor.
After a a few minutes of work Glass stuck the first pizza, a tomato sauce with pepperoni and bacon pizza, into the oven to cook as she start on the second pizza.
Acrylic continued to comfort his adopted creator on the balcony until she finally dried her tears "do you want to-" he began to ask but was cut of by Acer shaking her head no. She stood up, pushing herself off the railings and they both headed downstairs to see what was going on, Acrylic making sure that Acer didn't see Path still on the cot as they headed down each floor
Glass soon finishes prepping the second pizza and starts the third while waiting for the first to be done in the oven.
After a bit of time Glass had 7 different types of pizzas made and set up on the table as well as a cooked blob of pizza dough with olive oil, salt and rosemary on top.
Glass smiles at the wide array of pizza before yelling "soups on guys, come get dinner before it gets cold!"
Chronos and Breeze came down the stairs a few seconds after hearing Glass call them to dinner. They woke up a few minutes before to the wonderful aroma of Glass's cooking. Recon moved the dolls and put them in his hood, then guided Glitchy to the table. He sat next to his little brother knowing he still struggled to eat.
Night stared at the food for a few minutes not understanding what it was.
Acer appeared in the doorway and sat down at the table, she notices Nights confusion "It's a pizza Night, you pick up a slice and put it on your plate. Like pie except it is flat. You can copy other people if you still do not understand." With that, she picks up a slice of the pepperoni and bacon pizza and puts it on her plate, grabbing another before she starts to eat. It was how she was raised after all, two slices first then one slice a turn after that.
Night frowns still not fully getting what this "pizza" thing was, but decides to go with it and takes a slice of one of the many pizza's and nibbles on it before stars appear in his eyes as the savory taste explodes on his tastebuds.
Glass sits down at the table and grabs a slice of pizza and a slice of the baked pizza dough bread concoction.
Glass then says to the others "I hope you guys all like the pizza."
"It's actually great, reminds me of this pizza place my family took me to when I was little." Acer replies, smiling softly to herself at the memories
Glass shrugs a bit before saying "to me it just reminds me of some places I have gone... and home."
"What's your place like?" Acer asks curiously
Glass freezes for a bit just staring at Acer before she looks down at the bread on her plate and asking "what exactly do you mean?"
"I'm aSsUmInG AcEr means yOur home," Breeze said as he ate his pizza in a trance. "I wouldn't aNsWeR that qUeStIoN. MelT aNd I eScApEd home fOr rEaSoNs. We live in ThE Alpha Timeline, or mainly travel. DeFcOn lives on their own though."
"My AU is infinite white with grass and dirt," Recon said. "Besides that, it was my siblings and I who created and destroyed things in our home."
"My home is a colorful kingdom," Glitchy explains. "It's so cool!"
Glass looks down at the plate before replying "I don't have a physical home. It's more... faded memories. Nothing I fully remember. Mostly just small things. A few food items, some activities, a tree...and a flower."
"I don't remember much either, mostly loud noise, a house, a cat and a few other things." Acer replies. Nodding to an invisible beat while eating the pizza
Glass just shrugs as she starts eating her food "I don't really need more then those memories at this point as my home. I think there were more when... I woke up... there... but at this point they've slipped away."
"Home iS wHeRe tHe hEaRt is," Breeze said. "Home fOr MelT aNd I was AlWaYs wItH each other. Then it eXpAndeD our home with our creations and FaMiLy who accepted us. So, yeah, hOmE is dEfInEd by yOu in the end."
Glass nods at this as she eats her pizza thinking on her small family and metaphysical home.
After finishing her food Glass stares at the ceiling as Night gets some more pizza before asking "ok, what are were are Nightmare and Error?"
"Probably in the infirmary, remind me to see how the strings are doing." Acer replied, having finished five slices and moving to her sixth. She always was a pig when it comes to eating.
Glass chucks a bit at the behavior before saying as she grabs another slice of pizza "leave some for the others."
Night then frowns as if remembering something and asking quietly "um... How is my brother suppose to eat tied up in the infirmary?"
"I'll gEt HiM," Breeze said. "I'm thinking ThAt Recon sHoUld use his InK instead. At least he can HaVe it restrict hIm aT certain times and when AwAy fRoM OtHeRs." Breeze head up stairs to retrieve Nightmare and Error.
"Would you like that?" Recon asked Night. "So at least he can move when he's in our sights?"
Night nods saying "yeah, I know I don't want him to hurt himself again but he kinda needs to ne able to move to do a lot of stuff."
"Fair enough," Recon said as Breeze came down with Nightmare in his arms shivering while Error followed behind him.
Breeze gently placed Nightmare next to Night and Recon moves his hands above Nightmare. Recon's left hand touched the strings and turned them into an array of light. As the strings were released, green ink took its place for a second until it faded away.
"That should do it," Recon said when he finished. "When he's out of sight, the ink will appear and restrict him until he is within anyone's line of sight. The ink can also fade out if one of us were to tug on the ink. This is just if we need Nightmare to help us in an emergency. However, currently Nightmare is on bed rest so he can heal properly."
"Like Error, the poor guy was near dead when he first arrived." Acer added, mowing down her pizza much to Acrylic's disappointment.
Nightmare spends a few seconds rubbing his arms to warm up, stoping for a minute to glare at the cast in his way, before actually registering what Recon said and was about to groan in annoyance at the predicament he had gotten himself into. He didn't end up doing this though as he registered that he was back at the table the group seemed to use for meals and stared at the "food" stationed all around the table in confusion.
"Night, fEeD yOuR bRoThEr," Breeze said. "He trusts yOu, pLuS hE mIgHt lIkE pizza just as MuCh as yOu."
Night nods as he grabs a piece of pizza and puts it on a plate in front of his brother trying his best to explain what it was, but not really getting across what it was. Nightmare just kept staring at before seemingly deciding that he didn't want this "odd" concoction and just pushing the plate away.
Breeze saw this and frowned while he stared to shimmer. "I'm hEaDiNg oUtSiDe fOr a bit," Breeze said. "UnLiKe mY twin, I have a cold snap temper and my patience has lessened wItHoUt hEr. Recon, please eat while I'm OuT. I need tO mEnTaLly prepare myself fOr aNyThInG." Breeze quickly left as the shimmer started frosting everything within the area of the light.
Glass sighs and gets up moving away from the frost mumbling something about cold and flowers not really mixing as Night continues to try and get his brother to at least try the pizza.
Error meanwhile sits down at the table, looks at the food, and desides he didn't want to deal with an issue with being found not eating, so he gets some of the pizza and eats some of it.
"Nightmare you are insane if you don't like pizza" Acer says while reaching for another slice, she never even glanced at the dough though. Which was odd considering she was eating almost all of the other pizzas.
"Acer never eats anything that reminds her or is garlic bread. She says that she feels like it is someone else who eats it and she'll get scolded by the person if she eats it." Acrylic explains. Noticing how confused his sisters opposite Oblivion was when she came down to eat.
Glass blinks at the comment as she stares at her glob of cooked pizza dough that had only rosemary, sea salt, and oil on it. Wondering how in the world the round cake like shape and the distinct fact that there was zero garlic involved in the making of any of her dishes reminded Acer of garlic bread.
Nightmare then says "why would I eat something I don't have a clue about what it even is?"
"Pizza is simply topping on dough with sauce and cheese Nightmare. Would you have try Oblivion's cooking? It's pancakes but the outside is burnt and mouldy and the inside is raw and mushy." Acer says bluntly
Nightmare and his brother stared at Acer in confusion at sentences after the food explanation. It made no sense what so ever to them. Who was Oblivion, and what in the world were pancakes?
"Your brother has already eaten some," Recon pointed out. "You trust your brother with your soul, right Nightmare?"
Nightmare sighs and nods in answer to the question as he stares at the food. He didn't really want to eat, he had no interest in eating, he never felt a need to do so. Even with his brother asking he felt more inclined to just say he wasn't hungry and offer it to his brother. It was how things worked at the tree, he prefered to see the delight on his syblings faces when they ate something they liked or in the rarer cases see their excitment as he tries something they made, was it wrong to want things like that here?
"Night likes to see you healthy and happy," Recon continued. "I'm sure he enjoys sharing all the things he has and experienced with you. He enjoyed the pizza, so why don't you eat it. Eat the food that brought your brother such a smile on his face." Recon gestured to the pizza with a slight smile.
Nightmare stares at the pizza before quickly looking at his brother who seemed to be anticipating his reaction, he goes back to staring at it for a few minutes before asking "how do you even eat this?"
"Night will help you," Recon said as he turned his attention back to Glitchy and stopped him from trying to eat a fork that he got somehow. "Since you only have one hand, I'm sure your brother can help you out."
Nightmare glares at the cast on his arm at the comment before mumbling the question to Night who quickly sets about showing his brother how to eat the pizza.
After Recon took the fork from him, Glitchy looked around before heading how stairs that led to the exit of the tower.
"Where are you going Glitchy?" Recon asked.
"I want to find Breeze!" Glitchy replied. "I want him to play house with us!" With that, he ran down the stairs before Recon could say anything. Recon sighed, but let his brother go. Even if he stopped and warned Glitchy, his brother would insist on go to Breeze. He just knew that Glitchy might have some fun outside with Breeze being upset as he was.
Night finally gets it across to Nightmare how to eat the pizza and manages to get the other to take a bite, earning a shrug of indifference to the taste, which seems to cause his brother to pout at the fact that his brother didn't love the new food item.
Glass watches this for a moment before going and staring through the window at the, partially hidden by the slowly coming forth night sky, rip in the sky. As she asks "do you think more will fall?"
"I'm afraid so Glass. As the rift grows in power and size more will fall into its grasp and come here." Faith, who has been silent this whole time, suddenly spoke up behind Glassplant. A neutral expression on her face.
"We can only hope that they won't attack us or on the brink of death," Recon added with a slight frown. "I hope they cooperate with us. Has anyone done any investigations on the rift yet?"
"oh multiple investigations have been made, a tech creator send a couple of drones into the rift even I clearly told them not to touch it and the rift absorbed the light. the live feed is still showing darkness as we speak." Acer mentioned in between bites, finishing off her final slice at last and dabbing her muzzle with a napkin.
Then Acer gains a "BRILLIANT" idea and summons a plastic bag, inside is a moldy black pancake and even through the bag you could smell it, it smelled like a dead body. "This Nightmare, is a pancake created by Oblivion, the monster that is standing beside Acrylic.
Acer summoned another pancake. this one was a normal, healthy looking one that was a nice golden color and looked delicious "And as a reference point here is a normal pancake." She lays the two next to each other and grabs out a plastic knife and an axe. simply taking out the normal pancake and cutting it normally.
"here is what a normal pancake looks like on the inside." Acer holds up the pancake and shows the two nightmares. "And here is what Oblivions pancakes look like on the inside." with that she takes the axe and smashes it upon the pancake in the bag, cracking open to reveal a mushy gross looking goop in the middle.
"Not very appeasing huh." With that Acer makes the pancakes and the evidence disappear, and looks to the two brothers for their reactions.
Both Night and Nightmare look at the black pancake thing in disgust as Glass says "Acer! Get that thing away from the food! We do not need cross contamination of a disaster pancake ending up in good food." Before realising what Acer said earlier and frowns as she says "I thought we said not to send object into what we assume is the void. It isn't helpful unless we know that it shouldn't cause a problem with the rip."
"I remember you saying we couldn't send people in there," Recon said to Glass. "Besides, drones were better as to not lose people in the void beyond the rift."
Glass frowns before saying "good point. Though from what it sounds like, we probably won't be getting back any of those drones. Ever."
"There will be more made," Recon said. "I'm sure those who sent the drones knew the risk of sending them through the anomaly in the sky. Speak of sky, Breeze has made it snow outside." Recon looked out the to see snow gently falling down.
Glass looks down to see the snow and shivers, backing away from the window.
Recon sighs, before saying "He must be quite upset to make it snow. I'm sorry about this Glass. I'll go see if I can at least calm him down." Recon moved towards the stairs that lead out to find Breeze.
Glass sighs mumbling an "it's fine, just don't do well with the cold." To herself as she sits down at the table and grabbed another piece of the pizza bread concoction.
"That may be so, but Breeze won't stop unless told," Recon called down the stairway. "He could make it colder and cause blizzards. So I will talk with him." With that, Recon exited through the door and into the cold.
Glass just keeps eating the special bread trying to ignore the cold that was slowly filling the building from the open window was night rushes over to the windiw stares out at the snow in wonder as Night states where he is, seemingly having the same opinion on cold weather as Glass. Error just ignore all the excuse and eats another piece of pizza.
After a time Glass desides that, yeah she wanted warmth, so she goes up to the infirmary and gets a portable heater and brings in down. Plugging it in and turning it on slowly heating the room up a bit as Glass sits herself by the heater, so on Nightmare soon joins her.
"We should brainstorm possibilities as to what the rift is and it's purpose, that way we can prepare." Acer spoke up suddenly, trying to get some noise in the room.
Outside, the snow seems to pick up faster for a few minutes before stopping completely. Then Recon returns, but without his brother or uncle. "I got Breeze to stop the snowstorm, but it's a snow wonderland out," Recon said as took a seat in the couch. "They're relaxing and making snow sculptures. I can't blame them, this situation had upset Glitchy that he can't see his Fresh. So, they're distracting each other. At least he didn't freeze over a 20 yard radius."
"That's a plus, but seriously what do you think the rift is exactly?" Acer replies, frowning to herself grimly.
Glass frowns for a minute before saying "well, It has to be a portal is some kind."
"Any ideas on who it was created by?" Acer suggests, prompting answers and summoning a digital board to keep track
Glass shakes her head no before saying "by normal circumstance I would say a portal on this scale with the attributes it has would be near impossible. It would require more magic from a creator, much any creation or cannon, then it takes to make... lets say 3 or so AU. And that's scouting for the magic bust the Antivoid normally gives to aid the creation prosses."
Recon thought for a sec before looking up and asking, "Do you believe Fate has a hand in this?"
Glass looks up at the ceiling as she says it's entirely possible that they have some part in this. They have enough magic potential to achieve this type of phenomena and keep it going.
"Would there be any possibility that someone other than Fate is responsible?" Recon questioned. "Or do you think, perhaps someone is going around and messing with Multiversal codes to send our new and future guests here?"
Glass frowns before saying "hm... if it's another "god" or a group of around 10 or so creators working together at once it is possible that this could be occurring. Creators wouldn't have enough magic potential to keep it going for this long though, and I can't really think of a reason on why another "god" would do anything like this."
"I can only think of Chaos and Discord really benefiting from this other than entertainment," Recon replied. "This would give them more sway over the Multiverses with who's here and the roles they play."
Glass nods at this knowing how Chaos is, though she really doesn't know Discord.
"Ah, Discord has a love for disagreements between others," Recon said after realizing that Discord is one of the lesser 'gods'. "Chaos and Discord are close friends since massive panic and disagreements happen when everything is in chaos."
Glass nods at this, because it made sense, after all discord was another word for chaos.
"Maybe it's not the creations and gods like fate and destiny that are doing this... what is it is us, the creators and anons?" Acer suggested "a group of creators rebelling against the natural order by showing us our "mistakes" the mistakes in their eyes being the yin's of the balance." She pressed on
Glass frowns before saying "it's possible, but again we have to remember that creators and Annons have limited magic reserves as well as magic potential. As I said it would take a good number to make a portal like that, and they probably would not be able to keep it open this size for this long."
"Meaning that it couldn't be us, it couldn't be any of our creations but it could be a deity like destiny or fate." Acer responded, smiling. They had narrowed it down a bit.
"I jUsT simply WaNt to kNoW wHy take the creations aNd send them HeRe," Breeze said as he walked up the stairs with Glitchy on his shoulders holding a big snowflake that wasn't melting. "What aRe tHeY tO gain fRoM taking tHeM and placing tHeM HeRe? What do tHeY stand to gain other than chaos and negativity?" Recon moved his hands to take Glitchy off Breeze and sat him in his lap. Glitchy was mesmerized by the snowflake as it softly shimmered in many colors.
"They might be like Dreamswap dream, believing that the yin of the balance should be eliminated in order to "save" the multiverses, they then send them here in order to keep our hands full taking care of them so the one responsible can keep doing this. They could have been preparing for years and we wouldn't have noticed because they were not outright killing anybody." Acer replied, thinking something else up.
Glass looks at the ceiling as she replies "that seems highly probable. But it likely means that Fate and Destiny are not the cause or at least not directly the cause of this situation." After saying this Night seems to get tired of watching the snow and heads over to his brother who was still sitting next to the portable heater with Glass.
"Chaos and discord then? Recon did say they were close." Acer suggested, thinking of different gods who could and would do this.
"Wouldn't they like the yin's though?" Glass asks "they cause a lot of unintentional chaos." Earning a look of annoyance from Nightmare, and a bit of a pout from Night.
"No necessarily," Recon said. "With them gone, the Multiverses could collapse due to imbalance. With no one to blame and not knowing the cause, chaos and discord could ensue. Thus saving their favorite creations while condemning the rest of the Multiverses."
Glass frowns at this, seeing the logic in it before asking "but couldn't the collapsing multiverse have a chain reaction?"
"ChAoS among tHe 'gOdS'," Breeze said. "ThEy govern the Multiverses and the collapse cOuLd gIvE Chaos aNd Discord power aNd aN upPeR hand over the other 'gOdS'."
"But it could affect our home as well." Glass says "and what about the name calling as they fall?"
"One of them could have been talking Fate, while the other dragged them here," Recon suggested. "Therefore, Fate said those things as Chaos or Discord took them here. As for the collapse affecting the Alpha timeline, I don't think Chaos and Discord would care. They have been minor 'gods' and have been pushed around and insulted. This might be them trying to show they are not to be messed with."
Glitchy tossed his snowflake up a few times until he tossed it to high that it land on Night's lap.
Night yelps at the cold snowflake lands in his lap, freezing his lap.
Glass then counters "but they are dumping the creations here instead of leaving to rot in the void. So that means they don't want them to die, so wouldn't they need the Alpha timeline intact?"
A portal opens,there are voices from the other side as two individuals came.
"Hey glass! Long time no see!"
Came a 17 yr.old girl followed by another fimilar time kid.
"Did i came in,a wrong time?" she asked.
Glass waves it off saying "no, not a bad time. At least you haven't had to deal with any of the earthquakes and falling people from the void Artsy."
Artsy chuckles,"well i suppose,it's been awhile & decided to drop by with chronos since mine & my husband's kids are busy keeping the sphere in check".
Chronos looks around the place,it had been while for him as well.
Night looked at them in confusion after seeing them come through a... thing...
"They came through a portal," Recon explains to Night. "It's how we will send you back home once this whole Rift event is over."
Chronos stared at a different lookalike, but decided not to address anything yet and grabbed the forever frozen snowflake from Night's lap and handed it back to Glitchy before sitting next to Recon.
Night nods, somewhat understanding this "portal" thing now, but not fully, and gives a sigh of relief as the cold, giant, snowflake was off of his lap. Nightmare meanwhile glares at the new unknown people and hugs his brother in an attempt to signal to the new people not to touch him.
"I would refrain from doing anything rash," Recon said to Nightmare. "They mean no harm as they are good friends of Ms. Glass. Besides, you are in no condition to do anything to drastic with you ribs and arm still in a cast. Those will slow you down and I will not allow you to hurt yourself or anyone else for that matter." Recon is finally putting his foot down with Nightmare's actions.
"They must hAvE sOmE type oF contingents," Breeze said. "Sending them HeRe is no coincidence. ThE rIfT sTiLl remains oPeN. Those sent hErE aRe stuck HeRe. ThE bEaSt aRe becoming mOrE coordinated. One of the two might be watching us, while ThE oThEr fInDs mOrE tO send HeRe."
Nightmare glares at Recon for a minute before brushing off their comment and returning to glare at the newcomers. He had no reason to trust them even if they were friends of these kind people.
Glass thinks this through for a few minutes before nodding and saying "that leaves me with a bigger question then, why the Alpha timeline? We don't follow any of the gods rules. This timeline is basicly suppose to be like a data control point that they can't mess with. Sending in creations and messing with the creatures won't change that and other then causing a little panic in the beginning we adapt to quickly for it to cause chaos. So why here?"
"If they truly favor those sent, then why not here?" Recon asked. "No gods have sway and we take care of our own and those around us. Chaos and Discord are misunderstood and underestimated. Maybe they wish to change that and those who are also labeled and treated the same. I would see Destiny having not having many disagreements as they favor the abused creations that Fate has put them through. I can see many lesser gods like Discord, Chaos, and Luck would benefit from this."
Glass frowns for a moment at this before nodding in agreement and asking "then what about the creatures? They are becoming coordinated, and potentially more dangerous."
"It mIgHt bE an instinctive tHiNg," Breeze points out. "ThEy mIgHt fEeL threatened bY tHe sUdDeN power coming fRoM tHe rIfT aNd decided to band together tO dEaL wItH said threat. But that's mY tAkE on tHaT."
After a moment of thought Glass sigh and says "Makes sence. It is a much larger power signature then any creator, annon, or creation even in large mixed groups can produce."
Artsy looks outside to see the rift,"damn,that's a big rift"
Chronos sees a nightmare & another ver.of him,he blinks at his other ver.of qt!error.
Nightmare continues to glare at the newcomers and continues hugging his brother.
Chronos was too focused on Glitchy and his color shifting snowflake to realize his lookalike was staring at him. He kept telling Glitchy the color when he asked.
Breeze stared between Artsy's Chronos and Defcon's Chronos before asking, "HoW aRe wE gOiNg tO do this? Ya know, tO nOt gEt CoNfUsEd hErE."
Glass shrugs, not really having any idea what to do, she didn't really deal with doubles of a creation in the same area often.
Chronos spoke"we can give each other nickanames" he said.
Artsy is busy looking outside,then her phone went off & answered it.
Glass again shrugs and says "have at it."
"Call me Chro," the Tk!Error who sat beside Recon was now dubbed Chro said. "That's what my brother Tk calls me."
Chronos said"Chronos or cronus"
"Well, I'm gLaD tHaT's settled," Breeze said. "I'm jUsT worried about hOw we're sEnDiNg tHoSe wHo were affected bY tHe rIfT EvEnT home If tHeY wIsH tO return."
Glass then adds "that brings up another problem, what if we either can't send then back or there is no world left to send them back to once we figure it out?"
Hearing this, Chro starts to tear up. Recon moves his dismembered hand to rub Chro's back as he turned to cry into his side. Glitchy didn't understand the conversation too well and believed that they would find a way to sent everyone home. So Glitchy turned his attention to Chro to try and calm him down by hugging him.
Breeze sighed. "This iS wHaT I wAs afRaId oF. We can't jUsT recreate tHeIr Multiverses. So we hAvE to gEt tO the bottom of tHiS. We can't aFfOrD to LoSe tHeIr homes and families."
Nightmare freezes for a minute at the possibility of losing their how and his brother, he did not want to loose Dream.
Glass nods, they needed to figure this out and get whoever was doing this to stop before it caused major distruction.
Artsy feels worried for them but she said" we could always let them stay here..." she knew whether or not will work out but she will try to help them at all cost.
Chronos saw chro almost crying & goes him & rubs his back.
"While that is true, they could stay here, but if they do their universes and multiverses are in danger of colapse." Glass says.
Chro starts sobbing his soul out at the thought of never seeing his brothers again. Glitchy starts to cry at the thought of staying in the Alpha timeline and never seeing Fresh. Recon frowned, but pet their skulls to calm both crying creations. He appreciates Chronos with helping out with Chro. Breeze was trying his best to stay calm and not release the cold for Glass's sake.
Nightmare seems to panic at the idea of never seeing his brother again, and Night didn't seem far from doing the same.
Chronos spoke" we could always bring them here in case "if" something to the multiverse"
Arsty says"that could work like how core frisk do the same to the survivors but...... I Don't if it's even work that way though" looks at glass & breeze,"does it...?"
Glass frowns "generally creations have to come here with a creator, and I don't think anyone had ever brought a multiverse worth of people over... Breeze? Do you remember anything like that?"
"My tWiN MelT wAs able to Do iT OnCe," Breeze said. "ShE sAvEd aT least some OrIgInAl AUs fRoM Multiversal collapse. MelT sAvEd them in an AU that OpPeRaTeD as a Multiverse. Though, ThE oNlY repercussion was tHaT sHe wAs on BeDrEsT for 6 months. Only MelT and I had access tO tHaT AU because It wAs iN oUr home Until eVeRyOnE requested tO bE in ThEiR own AU. With DeFcOn'S hElP, we were aBlE to create a SmAlL Multiverse for them."
Glass nods in understanding before asking "do you know how many creations it was?"
"The main characters of Undertale, Underswap, Underfell, Swapfell, Horrortale, Dusttale, Underkeep, Underdarkness, Outertale, Aftertale, Dreamtale, Othertale were saved along with Core Frisk, Killer, Fresh, Cross, Delta, Epic, and Serif," Recon listed off. "MelT struggled getting any other to cooperate, and in the end they perish as they listened to Ink who accused my creator for the reason of the Multiversal collapse."
Glass frowns and counts for a moment talking to herself as she says "ok, so most of those were we have the full boss roster of Toriel, sans, papyrus, undyne, alphies, mettaton, and Asgore. So seven people in 7 ish Au's. Dusttale only has one real resident left, only horror and his brother would have come from there. Aftertale only has geno... dream and Nightmare... So that's 62... I don't know underkeep and underdarkness so I can't even guess. But I would guess in total less then 100 creations. So no where near the millions or trillions that could come from a multiverse ."
"NoT uNlEsS yOu hAvE a death wish, then no," Breeze said as he noticed Glitchy and Chro had fallen asleep on Recon. "With hOw mAnY there aRe, not to mention TrYiNg tO gEt tHeM tO cooperate, it stresses tHe CrEaToR aNd the process itself could kIlL tHeM. I didn't know MelT DiD something So risky until after sHe had ThOsE listed safely iN tHe AU. ThE pRoCeSs oF moving creations into An AU can oNlY be DoNe bY oNe Creator per Multiverse or we WoUlD be FaCiNg tHe consequences oF the GoDs."
Glass nods thinking on all the deaths that could take place by the gods hands before her thoughts were interrupted by Nightmare who quickly got to his feet, almost sending Night, who looked like he was about to cry, to the floor from his spot by his brother. Nightmare growls as he says shaking in what was either pent up rage or fear "F*** the rest of my multiverse or wherever we came from! But I refuse to let my brother die in some hell hole."
Artsy said"calm down nightmare"
Chronos then spoke" what about the mirrorverse?"
Artsy then said"what about it?"
Chronos the says" we could always use the abyss mirrors from all waterfalls in each of au's,didn't you say the mirrorverse connects to all different multiverse?"
Artsy the said"that is true,but idk if it's true if some cases idk if there's any abyss mirrors in other multiverse"
Glass blinks in confusion about what Artsy and Chronos were talking about.
Breeze moved to take Chro and Glitchy upstairs to rest with Defcon, who still hasn't awaken yet. Recon got up and snapped his fingers which caused the Ink to restrain Nightmare and made him fall back onto the couch. Recon moved and knelt beside Night on the floor. Recon enlarged his hand to cup Night's back.
"Are you alright?" Recon asked softly as he basically had Night sitting in the palm of his hand.
Night nods, only having been lightly pushed during his brothers outburst, as his brother cures up a storm trying to get out of the paint restraints.
Artsy sees glass confusion she then explains"Chronos was talking about a special void that connected to all multiverse,is a void filled with special mirrors & crystals use as a portal to another place that isn't from our multiverse,he was suggesting we use the mirror void as a place for a transportation if they needed to evacuate an Au or a falling multiverse,the one who guards the mirror void is vize,a mysterious sans that lives in the mirrorvoid"
Glass blinks in confusion for a moment before seeming to get what Artsy means and says "oh! Like my hall of doors!"
"The rift it's is a void," Recon points out. "Can you guarantee that the mirror void won't send them to a Multiverse or AU that's collapsing or even the void?"
Arsty just shrugged & said"not really,that only opens if one of them messes up when transporting,that is why vize had to guide them safely if that ever happens,but is also why there are abyss crystals line up as a bridge,both crystals are line side by side to create as a barrier for crossing through the void"
Glass blinks in confusion at the description, while in action it sounded similar to her hall of doors, in description they sounded completely different, and Artsy's mirror world sounded much more dangerous.
Artsy then explains"the abyss crystals line up as like a pillar on each side kinda like how crossing a river in a bridge that had both sides been blocked out prevent anyone from falling,if the same for the mirrorvoid,however is very dangerous to do it yourself unless you have a abyss crystal to use as a guide,that is why there are abyss crystals line up as a bridge on each said to prevent them from getting lost,someone learned a lesson for being stubborn" she just rubs her eyes as she said"fortunately those unlucky ones are some fell sanses,acting like a Lil menace,he should be glad he was rescued by vize if not he will transport into a another mulitiverse that mostly will cause him or anyone else a trouble"
Glass frowns thinking that it sounded much more dangerous than her hall.
Artsy then proceeds" that is why I asked for abyss sans help to create a special abyss crystals to use as a transportation,it's was better that way since we do not want to repeat the incident againm
Glass nods In understanding.
"But would it work for us?" Acer inquires, pitting in her own question all of a sudden
"If bY aLl means tAkE panic and confused ReSiDeNtS through the Mirror VoId," Breeze said as he came down. "ANyThInG tO save mOrE than before and lose quite a FeW oF ThEm aLoNg tHe way. We're nOt gonna lOsE mUcH rIgHt?"
"Breeze, please restrain yourself," Recon said as he held Night up gently beside Nightmare. "It's just a suggestion of transportation, nothing more. There would still the issue of a safe zone for them out of their original homes. There is only MelT's way or we have to have all the Creators work tirelessly to make them all a new Multiverse, which takes too much time."
"We could keep them here for a time while new multiverses are created." Glass adds on as Nightmares calms partially but is still in a very foul mood, he didn't want anything to happen to his other brother and they had been gone for a day already from how it feels.
Arsty said"well the mirrorverse is connected to all different mulitiverse,so they is a slight chance it could work for you guys,however don't worry about it,the mirrorvoid is a large vast place some of them we're able to find a home from another multiverse,so you guys can evacuate there until we find you guys a proper place to live in until further notice,in case if anything happens."
"See Breeze, they all have valid points," Recon said. "Although placing them in another Multiverse could result in speed the collapse as more creations entering means more to destroy."
Artsy then looked outside seeing the rift was still there she then said"in case if another mulitiverse collapsed you guys can use the Mirrorvoid as your temporary home until you find a multiverse that you guys could live in until then staying is a good idea until we know what's gonna happen next"
Chronos also sees the rift on the sky.
Glass nods at this knowing that more creations in a verse could also attract the attention of the "gods."
Glass blanks before saying "no multiverse have collapsed yet, they just had a part pulled out..."
Artsy said "I know but just incase,we won't know what might happend if we didn't put our attention towards it,we have to be prepared in case it might happens"
Chronos was quite then said"hey artsy"
Artsy then let out a"hmm?"
Chronos then said"you said there we're once a multiverse that have collapsed beforehand right?"
Artsy just sighed"if you talking about that multiverse,then is safe to say everything is ok now from there"
"Say we move the residents of the Multiverse," Recon said. "What's to stop the gods from accusing us of trying to replace them? Maybe Chaos and Discord are being sneaky about their actions, then us interfering would make us the target of blame. We can not mess with the Multiverses to the massive extent we're all thinking here. We can not save all of them without Fate purely waging war against us."
Glass cringes before nodding, she had heard Fate yelling a few times in accusation in a few of her trips through her hall at other gods promising war on the AU if they didn't back off. Just before glass could say anything another earthquake passed through the timeline as the void grows a small bit again.
Artsy spoke"true,however I do not think the gods will let fate slide so easily knowing her reputation for causing such an extreme devastation towards their multiverse"
Artsy then spoke again"*sighs* vize had once met fate,it did not end well for him once he was found by fate herself,what she did to him was horrible"
"Flipping Hell! Another OnE!?" Breeze complains. Recon simply nods and says, "Let's hope whoever fell is in better condition than the Dreamtale brothers." Recon still held Night in his hand and stayed by Nightmare as to watch his patient.
Glass groans in annoyance before mumbling as she goes over and opens the window, shivering as the cold still outside the building hits her as she mumbles "guest I am going to go see who the hell fell this time."
Breeze called out to Glass as to apologize for the cold. Recon used his other hand to pick Nightmare up an set him beside Night on his hand because Nightmare was getting upset even more upset than his brother wasn't beside him.
Artsy then looks outside to see a lump,she then wonders"I wonder who could it be? Hmmm....."
Glass waves back a whatever, as she dissolves into a kaleidoscope of butterflies and flies out the window.
"I wOnDeR if a creation oThEr tHaN an Error or Nightmare would come aRoUnD," Breeze said, then he thought for a second. "I hope it iSn'T MelT's Collab creation of InK. By tHe gOdS DoN't let it be tHaT psychotic psychopath."
An hour later a Jeeponce again pulled up to the tower and glass stepped out looking very mad, flowers were blooming all over her skin, some of them looked torn apart, and her clothes had a good few rips. This didn't stop her though as she walked up to the front door and knocked to be let back into her post.
Recon came down as he left the Dreamtale brothers on the couch with Breeze watching them carefully. Recon opens the door to see Glass's currently state. "Do I dare ask?" Recon questions.
Glass eye twitches as she says "you know how creators and destroyer fights are hard to stop?"
"Considering my Partialtale siblings and I are embodiments of Balance, I'm well aware," Recon said. "Although it got easier with my ink and strings over time."
Glass replies "yeah, well I don't think the Eraser is getting the message that this isn't his multiverse and the Reboot won't stop apologizing."
"I see," Recon said. "How injured are they?"
Glass frowns before saying "no clue on the Eraser, we had to chain him up heavily before we could even attempt to move him and I was to busy trying to help the guard to even really take in his appearence. As for the reboot, all I can visibly see is a few skull cracks because they are wearing so much stuff."
Artsy said"yikes! I think you take care of yourself first glass"
"I'll hand those two Ms. Glass," Recon said as he makes his way to the Jeep. "You relax for a bit. I can handle them on my own."
Glass sighs before saying "I'm going to go find my spare outfit and fix up my dress." As she leaves. The guard behind the wheel of the jeep looked nervously into the back at the two, one of whom was cussing up a storm since they barely got him chained up and weren't going to risk someone's hand to gag him, the other of who me was staring off into space quietly saying apologies.
Recon sighs softly before he opened the Jeep door and helped out Reboot. He enlarged one of his hands again and helped Reboot sit on his palm. He turned to Eraser and thought for a second before reinforcing the chains with his strings and ink before lifting him up by his restrains. As Eraser cursed even more, Recon just put ink over his mouth to silence him for a bit. He then headed inside and up to the infirmary with the two. He was going to see if they have any further injuries and took them there on his two enlarged hands that they sat in perfectly, despite one of them struggling very hard.
Glass was behind a curtain in the infirmary mumbling something about "why did I bring this."
Recon gently placed Reboot on the bed and returned the hand he sat on to normal in order to examine the still ever apologetic and repetitive Reboot. Recon found some cracks on his arms and a few fractures, but luckily nothing too bad that a bit of healing magic couldn't fix up. After healing Reboot's injuries, Recon helped him lay down and covered him in blankets as Reboot slowly drifted off while continuing to apologize.
Recon turned to Eraser. He moved him onto a near by bed and readjusted his hand. Recon had a staring contest with Eraser. As he did this, he swiftly removed Eraser's restraints, quickly laid him on the bed, and tied his wrists and ankles to the bed posts with ink and strings. Then he proceeded to check him over for injuries as Eraser squirmed. Recon did a thorough checkup and was a bit relieved that it wasn't as bad as Nightmare's, but similar to Night. So Eraser had some casting on his ribs and bandages on his arms and legs.
Glass comes out from behind the curtain holding her dress in one hand a pain of rainbow, animal pattern, fluffy, pajama pants on and a black t-shirt with a flower on it. Her skin still had a lot of blooming flowers in it, but it was less then before, revealing a few brushes that she didn't seem to care about as she walked downstairs to get the sowing kit.
Eraser continued cursing through the ink gag, though it was unintelagable, as he pulled at the restraints.
"Acrylic could you please calm down-" Acer asked before realising that Acrylic was already walking towards Eraser. "Dude calm down, this isn't your world so stop being so angry or you ain't leaving those restraints. Got it?" Acrylic told him. Looking sort of like an older brother and not a being of creativity
Eraser didn't seem to hear or at least acknowledge Acrylic and continues cursing the world out and pulling at the restraints.
"Lord help us all." Acrylic muttered before lightly slapping eraser to get his attention "Man get your act together dang it! Stop cussing and fighting and maybe you be let out! am I understood?" He growled out.
Acer sighed and muttered to herself "jeez Acrylic I told you to calm him down not scare him."
Artsy said"eraser calm down,let us help you,we will explain everything to you once you calm down,will you calm down for us?"
Chronos just stared intensely at eraser.
Arsty just sighed"eraser pls calm down we don't want to fight"
Eraser stared in shock for a minute after Acrylic slapped him before glaring at Acrylic and add seemingly saying some curse word at him.
Artsy then sparks him with water with a look of neutral face of displeasure
Artsy:-_- *sprays eraser with water*
This doesn't seem to stop the cursing and instead makes it worse. Glass then seemingly takes that moment to come back up angrily to throw her ruined beyond repair dress in a bin marked "to be cut into bandages".
"Enough," Recon said stepping up. "You are only aggravating him more. At this point he will never calm down."
Glass sighs saying to herself as she mumbles "this is why I don't like Ink types."
Artsy sighed & stops"alright"
Chronos just sat infront,close to eraser.
Acrylic finally backs off when Chronos neared Eraser, Acer backhanding him lightly and whispering to him "Acrylic we don't need you being pissed right now." Acrylic looks sheepish and whispers back "Sorry Acer."
Glass crosses her arms and watches the still cussing and struggling Eraser.
Breeze made his way up and saw Eraser struggling. He walked up to Eraser, placed his hand on his chest and send cold throughout his body. It forced Eraser to stop struggling against the restrains and to start shivering. Surprisingly, it also made him quite down.
Glass sighs as the cussing finally stops and uncrosses her arms as she watches Eraser shiver from the cold forced into his body.
"Oh thank goodness the swears stopped, I don't think I could take it if that continued." Acer sighed in relief, relaxing slightly
"ThAt always wOrKs," Breeze said as he chuckled and pulled his hand away. "WhEn your rEaDy tO talk calmly, we WiLl remove the ink."
Eraser glares at Breeze and says something muffled by the ink before seemingly just trying to focus on warming up again.
"God I'm going to need an aspirin after this." Acer muttered, her ears going flat against her head
Glass points to a cabinet and says "they're over there if you want them."
Breeze moved to tap the ink light and it faded out, allowing Eraser the freedom to speak. Just in case, Recon was on standby to make the ink appear again.
Eraser glares and says through chattering teeth "f*** you." Before going quiet again as he tries to warm himself up.
"Thanks Glass." With that Acer makes her way to the cabinet and downs a pill of aspirin and sighs in relief again as the pill takes affect "these last couple of days have been more stressful than my entire lifetime." She mused to herself
Glass rolls her eyes a bit before saying "no kidding, I have never had this many people in a tower at once or my clothes this destroyed. The closest I can remember to this level of stress was a small party in a different tower I was invited to where someone desides to light fireworks in the tower."
Breeze chuckled at Acer and Glass's story before turning back to Eraser. "KeEp aCtInG up," Breeze said. "I cAn continue MaKiNg yOu cOlD with that attitude. I kNoW yOu mAy nOt care about us aNd our opinions, bUt yOu are in OuR care. Show some ReSpEcT before I teach you tO sHuT yOuR mouth with mY cOlD sNaP tEmPeR!" Breeze was getting so upset, the temperature in the room was dropping quickly.
Eraser doesn't say anything and just continues shivering and glareing.
Glass shivers as the temperature drops as some of the flowers that had yet to return to disolve back into their proper place in her magic wilted from the cold. Leading Glass to say "I've got tropical lilies rooted in my skin at the moment, I really would like to not get sick from rotting plants in my skin."
"CrAp! I'm so sorry Glass!" Breeze apologizes for his mistake. "I cAn'T believe I'm lEtTiNg mY elemental GeT oUt oF hand."
Glass meanwhile continues shivering and works to pull out one of the wilting flowers, because she could just tell it wasn't going to bounce back and the flowers would not return to her magic if they were die. So she worked on pulling the roots out of her skin, blood dripping out from the holes slowly being made.
Breeze flinched at seeing that happen. Before the temperature dropped anymore, a portal opened up and a familiar yet different figure stepped out.
"The hell?! The last time I was here it was nice and toasty. The hell happened here?"
Recon sighs before turning to the rainbow figure. "Hello Elm, I'm glad you can join us," Recon greets. "Do us all a favor and warm up the place. Breeze is too upset to fix the temperature to normal."
Elm shrugs. "Sure, whatever," Elm replied. "I'll help you out, brother. MelT has her hands full anyway." With that, Elm quickly overpowered the cold temperature. Breeze became uncomfortable, but he didn't complain since he, in a sense, hurt Glass.
Once the flower was out Glass just drowsy in a biohazard bin in the corner ignoring the holes sitting her skin dripping blood and the partially blood filled former root homes running across her skin as she checked for any more flowers that looked like they were trying to give her help as some of the flowers started slowly returning to their normal lively selves.
"God this is why having fur is good, harder to get cold." Acer says, Acrylic looks at her with an unreadable expression
Glass sighs before saying as she finds another less then happy flower on her shoulder and starts pulling it out not looking at the others, but instead focusing on her work "Look, Breeze, this isn't your fault. You didn't know that my body grows one of the most temperature sensitive flower out there when I get stresses. You didn't know that the drop in temperature was going to effect them and by extension me. It's fine, I deal with this whenever it gets cold. Besides, I can't really feel anything physicaly when they pop up from my skin, so this isn't painful."
"It sure looked painful." Acer commented, while the cold doesn't make her shiver it can make her a bit grumpy and sarcastic.
Glass gives Acer a dead pan stare as she pulls out the flower from her skin asking "Wouldn't I be screaming in pain if it was actually painful." As she drops yet another flower Into the biohazard bin again ignoring the bloody holes in her skin.
Acer only sighed and said "I'll just go get the bandages to patch up those holes." Before turning to go get them.
Glass rolls her eyes as pulls up her pants leg and starts looking through the flower there.
"Man, I left here and it was in chaos," Elm says. "I come back and it's still in chaos and there's new people here. I never expected this or for Breeze to lose his cool."
Breeze didn't reply to Elm because he was watching Glass as he still felt bad for her. Recon listened to everyone, but kept his eye sockets on Eraser.
Glass frowns as she finds another two still wilted flowers, mumbling to herself that they must have really not been happy this time as she starts pulling them out.
Eraser watches the antics of the group desiding to stay quiet as one of his hands pulls on the string restraining it.
Acer comes back with some bandages and gave them to Glass before saying "I'm going to go watch Path, Acrylic stay here and make sure another rift doesn't pop into existence on top of anybody." With that she heads upstairs to watch the skeleton in a coma.
Glass looks at the bandages she was given, shrugs, puts them down, checks over the rest of the flowers, and finds no more dying one.
Elm looks around a bit before looking between Reboot and Eraser. Elm walked up to the bed and sat next to Eraser. "Hey, it's nice to see a fellow destroyer in the room besides my brother," Elm said. "I'm Elemental Chaos-"
"Elm, you can't give out your True name like that!" Recon said a bit annoyed. "You don't just give them that!"
"What's wRoNg with that?" Elm asked. "Our creator always introduces herself by her True name."
"MelT doesn't have a command code tied to her True name," Recon exasperated. "We, however, do. You can't go and tell just anyone."
Before Recon could continue, Eraser spoke up. "Elemental Chaos ... Grillby?" Eraser asked. Elm immediately stood up and bowed before Eraser.
"That is I," Elm said. "How may I be of assistance?"
"Eraser, just tell him you don't need anything," Recon said slowly. "Please tell him that."
"Uhh ... I'm fine?" Eraser said to Elm in confusion. "I don't need anything?"
Then Elm stood up and rubbed the side of his head as he looked around, only to get hit upside his head.
"Dummy," Recon said. "That's why you don't tell anyone your True name. Now go downstairs before someone else tries it again." Elm grumbles as he heads down the stairs about his introduction being harmless. "Ignore my brother," Recon said to Eraser. "Just call him Elm. I'm Recon and the guy who made you cold is my Creator's twin brother, Breeze."
Eraser nods, not understanding at all what just happened, as he looks over to Glass who was grabbing the bag out of the biohazard bin, some blood dripping from where she pulled out the flowers, and opens a cabinet which instead of leaving to it's normal contents in now leading to... fire... lots of fire... she then throws the bag into the cabinet of fire and closes the cabnet door.
"Are you willing to talk now?" Recon asked. "I'm sure you have questions as well as we do."
Eraser stays quiet for a bit before asking "did that girl just open a cabinet into hell?"
Laughing could be heard from downstairs as Recon sighed. "No," Recon answered simply. "That cabinet is a built in incinerator. Ms. Glass was just burning biohazard material."
Glass Blinks hearing the comment and says "we don't have an incinerator..." before opening the cabinet to show it was back to normal and the plethora of bandages that were in the cabinet were back in there normal spot as she grabbed the bandages that had been pulled out for her, that she had not touched, and put them away.
"InTeReStInG," Breeze said. "Is ThAt your mAgIc? ThE oNe mEnTiOnEd earlier? What wAs it cAlLeD? yOuR hAlL mAgIc?"
Glass frowns for a moment before saying "partially , it's called the hall of doors. I don't normally open them directly to places, but I don't think anyone wants to find out what happens when those flowers start to decay."
"That's So CoOL," Breeze said before turning to Eraser. "That aNsWeRs yOuR question! OuR tUrN, wHy were you So AnGrY? I'm mean, BeFoRe yOu got here."
Eraser glares after that before saying "you stoped me from killing that stupid creator! Why wouldn't I be mad!"
"I would watch your words," Recon said. "You should be more specific, as you are in the presence of multiple Creators. Especially myself and my brother are Creators."
Glass frowns before saying "wait, stupid is a bad word now? Since when."
Eraser rolled his eyes before say saecasicly "well, excuse me for not knowing that there was more then one creator."
Recon tiles his head to the side as Elm comes back up. "That's a bad word?" Recon asked. "What does it-"
Elm covers Recon's mouth to stop him from continuing. "Don't you dare ask that," Elm said before heatedly glaring at Eraser. "And don't you dare curse in front of my older brother. My other siblings aren't here to sensor the words Recon hears."
Glass then asks exasperated "when did stupid become a bad word!"
Eraser just ignored the argument that now seemingly going on and pulled again at the strings restraining him to the bed hard enough that it bent the metal rungs in the headboard.
"It's been a 'bad' word since our very existence," Elm said lowly. "I said it and was often put in my 'place' by Fate. Later on, my siblings Just and Reese stared censoring me so I couldn't get punished. A lot of my magic is restrained in the cuffs and shackles that are bound around my neck, wrists, and ankles. It hinders me from doing my job as a Creator and Destroyer as well as protect those who are worth protecting. Recon doesn't know them for his own well-being." With that, Elm released Recon. He looked over to the bent metal rungs on the headboard and held his hand out to it. The metal was forced to fix itself as if it didn't bend in the first place. "Eraser, you seriously shouldn't try breaking out. The ink on your wrists will rap around your whole body to prevent you from moving if you do. After all, Recon always restrained me when I was blinded by rage."
Eraser groans in annoyance as he sees that it was unlikely he can push his way out of this.
Glass blinks in confusion, not understanding how it was a bad word still.
"I used that word as well as many other bad words to cuss out Fate," Elm said. "My siblings have ... trauma from when them restraints were placed on me. Or at least those who were there. It was extremely painful, to watch and have that happen to me, so we made sure no 'vulgar' words were in any of our vocabulary. It's in mine, but after being chained, I wasn't as willing to use those words."
Glass gains a look of sadness as she says "oh, sorry I didn't know."
Artsy said"vize got his left eye plucked out by fate after she found out he was the one intefering with her multiverse" she looked away with her pain & saddend exprssion.
Chronos didn't say anything"artsy's world got destoryed by fate & she was held captive by her as well"
Artsy breaths"sorry about that"she smiles weakly.
Elm sighs. "It's okay," Elm said as he looked away from Recon who had a face of horror compared to his usual expression. "It's not like it's an open fact. Only Just, Reese, and MelT knew. I guess Recon and a few others were going to find out sooner or later. I just wish it wasn't now."
"How come you never told me this," Recon asked breathlessly. "I'm your older brother! I should've been there to help-"
"No," Elm said sternly. "If you had known, you would have received a punishment far worse than magic restraints. Fate would have broken your hands, and be both know they are tied very close to your soul. I wasn't about to let you become soulless. We were lucky enough that it was just me who was punished for my own idiotic actions. So all I ask now is that you forgot about what happened to me and let's focus on our new guests." Elm decided that it was best to go outside to cool off, quite literally, in the snow outside. Recon wanted to continue talking with his brother, but stopped himself. He had other pressing matters.
"What was happening before you got here?" Recon asked Eraser. "How did you get here?"
Glass plays with one of the remaining flowers, most having disappeared, before saying "I guess I'm lucky fate couldn't ever find me in my hall..."
Eraser scowls before saying "same old, same old. We got in a fight, like always, when I was erasing a world. Was about to try slashing the guys eyes out to get him away from me, when suddenly my foot seemed to no longer be on solid ground, so I grabbed that piece of malware's scarf to try and get back my footing while also trying to choke them out, only to find we're suddenly falling through a portal or something in the ground."
"Did you hear anything suspicious?" Recon asked.
Eraser growls as they say "I don't f***ing know! I was busy trying to strangle that piece of malware thinking it was his fault for it happening."
"I see," Recon said. "Then Reboot may have our answer for that. I'm simply wondering if sending Reboot here was intentional but Chaos and Discord or not. Or better yet, if their Multiverse will be destabilized as both parts of the balance are here."
Glass then says "they should be better off then Error's multiverse, since there isn't one side remaining that could tip the balance."
"That's true," Recon said. "So long as the Multiverse wasn't closely tied to the balance, then it would take longer to collapse. Yet, depending on how crowded, it could also start collapsing."
Eraser "we were f***ing fine, not to may, not to few. We just had a song and dance to keep the multiverse from going stale. That and I can't stand that b****."
"ThAt'S eNoUgH OuT oF YoU!" Breeze his as he placed his hand on Eraser to force the cold only throughout his body once more. "MelT isn't hErE, bUt I wIlL nOt hAvE YoU CuSsInG iN FrOnT oF Recon AnY LoNGeR!" Frost stated to cover all of Eraser's body, causing him to be silent as he shivered due to the cold.
Glass stamps away rubbing on the last flower hoping for it to leave so that she can try and stop this before her friend gives the other hypothermia or frostbite.
Eraser shivers quietly as the cold passes through his body, in places getting close enough to freezing the magic running through them and cause a few small cracks to form in various spots.
"Breeze stop!" Recon yelled as he pushed his creator's twin away. "You're hurting him! I just healed him and now I have to fix up these cracks." Recon turned his attention to Eraser as he starts to use healing magic to seal the small cracks that formed. However, Recon wasn't capable of warming Eraser. Only Elm, Reese, and MelT could emit heat to counter Breeze affectively.
Eraser was breathing heavy through chattering teeth, everything felt numb, his magic was half frozen and could barely move. When the solid magic could move though it HURT, like it was ripping apart his mana channels.
"Oh geez," Recon said in worry. He moved one of his hands to the side and formed a portal on the ceiling as Breeze left to stand outside the tower again. Suddenly Elm fell through, but he luckily landed on his feet. "Brother! Quickly warm Eraser! Breeze couldn't control his cold snap of a temper and now he's getting hurt. Please, I beg of you, please warm him up!"
Elm held his hand above Eraser and stared to warm him slowly. If he did it any faster or place his hand on Eraser, his bones could shatter like glass. "What the heck did Eraser say that triggered him?"
"Apparently, Eraser was cussing and Breeze didn't like that," Recon said as he sealed the new formed cracks. "He didn't have to go this far."
"Eh," Elm said with a slight shrug. "I mean I could have burned him. I warned him after all, but yeah. Eraser doesn't deserve this pain. He should have just made him slightly cold. ... now that I think about it, there's something wrong with Breeze. Any idea what it is?"
Elm received was shake of the head as Recon had no idea. "MelT isn't around to help him and his temper and Defcon is still unconscious and shows no real signs of waking up. Then we have the Rift event here with creations who are stressing him and others out. I'm not really sure if it's our situation or some other force that's messing with him."
Glass frowns before doing something she normally wouldn't do, she heads down a floor into the armory, grabs two practice swards she knew other tower watches kept in there and headed out to Breeze.
Eraser was still shaking in both cold and pain even as he warmed and his magic started slowly thawing, since the frozen magic was seemingly trying to fight the thawing p rosses and was continuing to scratch up his mana channels, until suddenly he started coughing up magic as a particular chunk scratched a hole in the vessels in the invisible magic of his throat.
Acrylic immediately dashes to Erasers side just as Acer comes down the stairs looking depressed before noticing Eraser without the gag. "Guess he finally talked." She mumbled half heartedly. Looking down to the fall. Her tail drooping and her ears pressed flat against her head in sorrow. Acrylic knew Path hadn't woken up.
"Yeah, Eraser talked," Elm said. "But I don't think he'll be able to now."
"I can not heal internal wounds," Recon said to Acer as Eraser continued to cough up magic. "It seems some of the frozen magic is hurting him internally and despite our best efforts, we cannot heal him properly. Elm is trying to keep the ice magic at bay, but we are having a hard time fighting it. Ms. Acer, Acrylic, please assist us." Recon was starting to get overwhelmed with Eraser's condition.
Meanwhile, Breeze was just outside on the floor learning against the tower with his eyes closed, though it's not like his eyes could see anything anyway. As he was just clearing his head, he heard and felt Glass exiting the tower. Breeze, however, said nothing as she approached him.
Glass approached Breeze and taped them on the head with one of the practice swards.
Eraser continues to caught up magic as he starts crying from pain wanting to curl up to preserve the warmth he is getting back from escaping.
"WhAt ArE yOu doing?" Breeze asked as he turned his head towards Glass. He looked her in the eyes, but he saw only darkness. Though he slightly enjoyed it as he couldn't see the horror of the worlds, and the fact his one creation was worth the the loss of sight.
Elm, seeing that it was okay to do, turned up the heat in his right hand while his left shifted color until it was green and started to help heal some of the damage on Eraser's form.
"I feel bad for you," Elm said to Eraser. "This is similar to when I got my shackles, but ten times worse. At least you have us healing you."
Acer sighed and handed Acrylic a canister full of green strings. Acrylic shook his head and handed them back "This is your job to do Acer, not mine." He said.
Acer looked away but still proceeded forward. Bending down in front of eraser and grabbing some strings before wrapping them over the wounds, the magic inside was soft. Warm and comforting.
Glass asks "you want to burn some steam?" Hefting one of the swards to her sholder.
"Can I hold the training swords for a second?" Breeze asked. "Then we can proceed."
Glass nods and holds the sward out to Breeze.
Breeze tapped one and grabbed the other. He got to his feet and looked at Glass. "AlRiGhT, I'm ready," Breeze said. "I just had to give the sword a little chill, or I wouldn't be able to see it as it doesn't have a specific heat signature for me to sense out."
Glass gains a confused look for a moment before just letting it go and getting into a defensive stance and waited for Breeze to make their move.
With Eraser, his condition seemed to be improving with Acer, Elm, and Recon's efforts. No new wounds appeared and his shaking was slowly subsiding.
Breeze swings the fake sword a bit before he holds it back hand and rushes at Glass, preparing a diagonal slash.
Glass jumps to the left, out of the way.
Eraser breathing somewhat better as the magic in his vains melts partially, causing less pain, though tears were still dripping from his eyes and magic dripping from his mouth from his caughing.
Breeze twisted around and tried to hit Glass in the side, but Glass blocks it. Breeze backs up to try and hit her other side, but his attack was blocked again.
Recon moved his hand to the side and brought back some clean towels to wipe off the magic and tears on Eraser.
Glass blocks the attacks without a care and goes in for a hit on Breezes side.
Eraser wimps a bit at the feel of something on his face, because it felt weird against his still numb and painful bones.
Sensing the sword, Breeze ducked out of the way be for flipping away from Glass. "YoU'rE rEaLly gOoD At tHiS," Breeze compliments. "MelT usually aTtAcKs in a hArSh wAy, BuT that's tWiN training I'm uSeD tO."
Recon cleans Eraser up and sighs. "I know this it feels strange, but bare with me," Recon said softly. "We are just trying to help. None of this was to happen, but I hope you are mindful of those around you."
Glass says "thanks." as she goes back to a defense stance.
Eraser doesn't say anything as he just focuses on the numb feeling and pain still going on as the magic thawed.
Breeze got back into a fighting stance and charges at Glass at a faster pace. Glass kept blocking his attacks, but it was getting harder as Breeze put more speed and strength into each slash. Right as Breeze was going to hit Glass when he saw an opening, but he froze in place as the fake sword was an inch away. Breeze was completely still as he was stuck in a daze.
Elm turned up the heat even more as he was finally overpowering the frost magic in Eraser's system. He smiled lightly as the frost magic will dissolve harmlessly into Eraser's magic system, but he wonders if it will affect his magic in any way.
Glass frowns confused before taping Breeze on the head with the but of the award to try and get a reaction.
Eraser sighs as a large amount of pain ebs away and the warmth the other provided fully set in. Though that didn't mean he wasn't still in pain as a second coughing fit started up with more magic coming past his lips as it was once again able to flow freely.
Breeze collapsed to the floor after Glass tapped him. He was panting as was having a harsh flashback of sparing gone wrong.
Recon continued to wipe the magic off Eraser, as he knew he and Elm could only heal external wounds. Recon looked over Eraser's clothes, and had an idea of making a fresh pair of his clothes later.
Glass blinks in in confusion, not getting what was going on, and kneels next the prone Breeze holding the extremely dull blade of the sword as she sticks it in the ground to stand it up before asking Breeze "are you ok?"
The coughing fit Eraser was having ends after a few minutes as they just go limp on the bed breathing hard trying to get oxygen back into his lungs after the long coughing fit. Ignoring the light stream of blood from his mouth and the blood on his now likely ruined clothes.
Breeze was still heaving to catch his breath as he examined Glass. Once his breathing calmed a few minutes after he spoke. "I'm ... fine," Breeze said as his glitch dropped from his voice for a bit. "I'm just glad you're okay. I lost myself for a moment in my memories. Sorry if I worried you."
Once all the visible wounds were healed up, Acer and Recon stepped back to relax a bit. Elm stayed a bit longer to make sure Eraser reached a normal temperature. Recon moved to sit on a chair nearby and started to form Eraser's clothes out of his strings and ink.
Glass frowns as she says "you realize that these swards are so dull that all it could possibly do is bruise someone."
Eraser stares at the cealing breathing slowing to normal after a few minutes before he starts caughing again as the hole in his invisible throat starts filling his lungs with blood again leading his body to try and get more space for oxygen.
"I cAn reinforce AnYtHiNg iN IcE," Breeze points out. "I hAvE sOmE PTSD of FiGhTiNg and SpArInG going wRoNg due To my cOmBaT experience. This wHoLe sItUaTiOn has bEeN putting me On EdGe. I'm sorry FoR wOrRiNg yOu."
"Dear gods up above," Elm said. "Bro, do you think we have to put a freakin tube in Eraser's throat? He keeps coughing up blood and magic. I'm starting to think his throat is damaged and he's basically drowning himself with his own fluids."
"I don't know," Recon said as he felt useless as he continued making Eraser's clothes. "You and I both know that neither of us are certified or cable of doing so. Let's hope on of the others know what to do."
Glass shrugs before saying "breeze I have zero feeling in my skin, you could hurt me and I wouldn't care one bit. Pluses flowers would just grow over the spot for a bit and knit it back closed. The only thing that doesn't repair its self quickly is pulled out flowers and even then flowers just regrow in a few weeks on the old spot. That and my cloths. I'm sorry if I didn't tell you before hand, I just wanted to help you calm down."
Eraser stops caughing again after a few minutes and chuckles to himself mumbling something along the lines of "why is everything fuzzy." With an out of it smile on his face and blood slowly dripping from his mouth.
"ThAnKs fOr tRyInG aT lEaSt," Breeze said shakily. "PTSD sUcKs iN aLl honesty. Even if I couldn't HuRt yOu, I would have worse flashbacks."
Recon quietly dropped his project for Eraser and rushed out the room, only to comeback with three different colored medical bags. He pulled a stand that holds the bags and hooked them up and then placed the need of the other end into Eraser. "You're losing too much blood and magic. I'm hooking you up with a magic and blood transfusions with some pain killers. I'm not sure what else to do for you."
Glass shrugs before sayin "at least you seem calmer now."
Eraser just stares at the ceiling, not really hearing what was said, before going into another caughing fit with more magic coming up.
"... yEaH, tHaNkS fOr tHiS," Breeze said as he got up. "We should-"
Breeze was cutting off as Recon busted out of the tower door. "We need your help immediately!" Recon said frantically. "Eraser has an internal wound and he's suffocating on his own blood and magic!!!"
With that said Recon opened a portal under all of them to have them stand next to a coughing fit Eraser and Elm who was getting blood and magic on him, but he didn't seem to mind.
Glass falls to the floor confused trying to understand what happened, since she does not go through portals often. After a minute Glass picks up on what is going on and says "chaos almighty god." As she rushes to a closet and flings it open as she drags out the ventilator and then grabs one of the steral tubes in a bag as she grabs out a vile of something and a needle pushing it into Recons hands asking them to full it to three mark on the syringe.
Recon quickly does as instructed with the syringe before handing it off to Glass.
Meanwhile Glass takes part of the tube out of it's casing and puts it into the machine as she checks the oxygen tanks, mumbling about how she's going to have to replace them later, and gets the machine on and ready to run. After which she takes the syringe and looks as Eraser, who still hadn't calmed down from his current coughing fit, and asks Elm "can you hold one of his arms still?"
Elm nods as he stops the heating magic in one of his hands and holds Eraser's arm that was shaking in the strings steady enough for Glass.
Glass nods in thanks as she carfuly pushes the syringe into the bone, after which she empties the contents of the syringe into Eraser's magic channels before starting to slowly count to herself as she grabs the tube and watches Eraser,seeing his body movements slow and the coughing fit eb away as she reaches 20. She then stuck her thumb into the gap in Eraser's jaw to open his mouth and work the tube in while quickly flipping a switch on the machine to have it start running as she feeds the tube down, earning a slight gag from the partialy conscious Eraser, while making absolutely sure it did not go down into the stomach instead of the lungs. After a few tense moments Glass got it in place before quickly running back to the closet and pulling out another plastic piece which she pops into the tube and slides down to Eraser's mouth before opening his mouth enough to have the mush more rigid plastic between the others jaw and the tube to make sure that Eraser didn't axidently bite down on the tube and cut off his own air supply.
As this happened Eraser fully fell under the effects of the sedative and fell into a dreamless sleep.
"WeLl cRaP," Breeze comments. "I DiDn'T know mY MaGiC cOuLd affect HiM tHaT badly. That sounded painful."
"It freakin looked painful," Elm said as he was back to heating Eraser. "I had to fight off the frost magic and in doing so, new wounds kept popping up. He's lucky Recon, Acer, and I kept healing and heating him up. Plus, Ms. Glass here helped with his breathing problem. I'm glad you can't see this, Breeze. I wouldn't want you feeling too guilty. At least he's resting up now."
Breeze sighed. "Yeah, at lEaSt he's fInE now," Breeze turns to Glass. "I'm GOiNg to ChEcK on Chro, Glitchy, Night, and Nightmare. It's pReTtY late aNd dinner wAs a while aGo. I'm hEaDiNg to bed after. You ShOuLd as WeLl Glass." Then he walks off to the room he's been sharing with Defcon and the other creations.
"Recon, you should head to bed as well," Elm said. "Knowing you, you've been up for quite a while. Get some rest, bro. I'll watch over Reboot and Eraser."
Recon was going to protest, but thought better of it. He nods to his brother before heading off downstairs to get the Dreamtale brothers and move them to room Chro, Glitchy, and Defcon rested in.
Elm pulled up a chair and sat by Eraser as he still had yet to get him to a stable temperature. Luckily for him, he was sleeping before being sent over. Elm wasn't sleeping until tomorrow night anyway.
Glass checks over the reading the machine is displaying on the monitor, and after deciding that Eraser would be fine with the levels the machine is currently at. She heads soon upstairs to go get some sleep on one of the padded windowsill after getting Mallory from Guard and opening a door for him and his brother to head back home after they asked to do so.
Nightmare and Night had fallen asleep leaning on each other next to the heater.
Recon saw the Dreamtale brothers completely knocked out and decided to leave them be. All he did was tap the ink on Nightmare to give him more freedom to hug his brother, and formed a soft blanket and placed over the two. Once he was done, he moved back upstairs to rest with Breeze.
-very early the next morning-
Glass comes down the stairs from the observatory to the main floor, after checking on Eraser to make sure he was still in stable condition and desiring that he probably wouldn't need another dose of sedative yet, and started making not just coffee but scones, eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns.
The sound of sword clashing with sword echoed from outside, Acer was training with a training bot just outside the tower, swinging her sword fast and precise and even using her magic to help power her attacks
Glass continued to work on making breakfast, not noticing Nightmare wake up with a groan and remain were they were leaning against their brother half asleep. Though after a few minutes they started unconsciously picking at the arm cast since they still did not like the feel of it on their bones.
Acer slashed downwards on the dummy, slicing it in half. It wasn't enough for her. In a rage she abandoned her weapon and starting using elemental attacks on the already destroyed bot. Finishing off with a wave of fire before snapping out of it and stopping. Her eyes wide she flees inside and slams the door shut. Breathing heavily.
Glass continues her cooking, not paying attention to the world around her as she worked.this included not knowing that anyone else was awake.
Elm, after daydreaming next to Eraser the whole night, came down the stairs. He saw Nightmare picking at the cast and decided to wake him up before he ruins it. He walks over and quickly taps Nightmare as to not overheat the skeletons under the blanket. "Hey .... Hey Nightmare," Elm called as he tapped the goopy skeleton. "Wake up. Foods coming around soon and I don't want you or anyone having to recast your arm again."
Nightmare gives hum of affirmation, though he kept picking at the cast for a minute before stoping.
Elm smiled at the Dreamtale brothers. They remind him of when he slept beside Recon. He wondered if he could ask Recon if he could sleep next to him again. Elm then taps Night a little, but only got the response of him cuddling closer to his brother. Elm smiled before lightly rubbing both of their skulls slowly.
Nightmare mumbles something unintelligible as his brother leans into the hand in his sleep.
"Dang," Elm whispers as he continued slowly petting the two. "If only people got to know you two. Hell if people took the time to know each other they wouldn't think so bad of us. I swear if they got to know you two and saw this, they would've thought you guys were cute. But I guess only those who understand and care about you regardless are currently only worth of seeing you two in this cute state."
Nightmare sighs as he unintentionally leans into the nice tough just like his brother had and was still doing.
Elm stops petting the two. He didn't want to see Nightmare's negative reaction when he wakes up to Elm petting him. He knows Night wouldn't mind, but he didn't want Nightmare reacting badly. When he came around yesterday, he saw the two already asleep. So the Dreamtale brothers were unaware of his presence.
Glass hums to herself as she puts the first of what would likely be many pots of coffee on the table for people to pull from as she keeps working on the rest of the food.
Night gives a light confused sound at the stopped petting before just curling up more against his brother as his brother sighs not noticing the stop of the petting and just cuddles up to his brother more.
Elm smiled at the brothers until he heard two sets of footsteps. He turned just in time to see Breeze wide awake as he carried a half asleep Chro. Recon was awake as well and with his enlarged hand, he carried a sleeping Glitchy in the palm of his hand. Elm waved as to not wake the brothers that were near him.
Night and Nightmare continue to sleep, completely oblivious to what was going on around them, at least till a scream from the floor above shocked them awake and actually almost caused Glass to throw the pan she was holding and cooking on.
"What the heck was that!?" Elm exclaimed as he made it next to Recon. His brother shrugged and Breeze quickly pushed Chro into Elm's arms and rushed upstairs to see who that was.
Glass quickly turns off the stove and opens the oven to prevent the done scones inside it from burning as she rushes upstairs and spots a panicked Reboot in a corner of the room staring at the ventilated and blood magic covered Eraser.
"Yup," Elm said as he came in with Chro. "I kind of figured he'd react that way. Now we have to deal with the other side of the balance." Elm left the room after he picked Glitchy up. "Seems like you two can get a bit more sleep. We'll get you when it's breakfast officially."
Recon sighs as he goes over to check on Eraser. He was glad the other was okay and that he finished Eraser's clothes after waking up earlier. Breeze on the other hand was watching Reboot, as he was wondering what he'd do next. He wasn't about to do anything rash again.
Reboot looked panicked and didn't seem to understand what was going on besides the fact that the other half of the balance for his multiverse looked like he was on his death bed and now he was surrounded by a large amount of unknown people who had likely done this. His eyes flickered over to the closest window identifying it as probably his best escape route.
Breeze, seeing this however, was quick to freeze the window shut. He wasn't about to go chase Reboot down over a misunderstanding. Hell, he was even considering having Recon restrain him until they had Reboot understand that they were safe.
Reboot panicked as he saw his saw his escape rout be sealed off, staring between the "on his last legs" Eraser and the people surrounding him thinking along the lines of "I'm about to die." Over and over again.
Elm came back into the room only to see Reboot panicking. He sighed and made his way over to Reboot. As Elm came closer, Reboot shut his eyes as he waited for pain. Though, to his surprise, he was met with a warm embrace and quickly looked to see Elm hugging him softly.
"Hey now, calm down," Elm said softly. "Breath and relax a bit. Don't panic or over think things. You don't understand what's happening, but don't jump the gun. Calm down and we can tell you what's happened while you were out." Elm then proceeded to warm up a bit and rub Reboot's back.
"But-but, Eraser." Rebot was having trouble calming down and couldn't help but think the group was likely a threat.
"There was an accident while you were asleep," Elm said softly as he hugged Reboot closer. "There was internal bleeding of blood and magic in Eraser's throat. The blood and magic was preventing him from breathing. Currently, while the wound heals, that machine is the only thing helping Eraser breathe right now. Without it, he would be in pain and suffering. Do you understand?"
Reboot, still shaking in fear, nods still fearful of them all.
"I'm Elm by the way," Elm introduced. "The one by Eraser with dismembered hands Is my older brother Recon. That blue guy, who I assumed froze the window is Breeze. Then there's Ms. Glass and Ms. Acer as well. Recon, Ms. Acer, and I had helped heal Eraser of his physical wounds until Ms. Glass came to help us with his breathing issue. You should know that Recon was panicking when Eraser was in his coughing fits for air. Recon usually never panics unless he gets overwhelmed when he can't help other. He cares a lot for others despite not really showing it."
Reboot seemed to calm down a bit as he heard that they were trying to help Eraser, but didn't help with the fear that these people that he didn't really know would hurt him.
"You're a Creator right?" Elm asked Reboot.
Reboot flinches a bit at the sudden question before saying "y-yes."
"I'll have you know that you're in the presence of other Creator as well," Elm said softly with a smile. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions and we would be happy to answer a fellow creator. All we ask is that you stay calm and don't run. You are currently in a tower and it's possibly the safest place to be at the moment. Are you willing to cooperate?"
Reboot was still in a panic, there was just... so many people in the room.
"Hey Breeze," Elm called out. "You should probably check on Defcon's condition. See if she shows any signs of waking up yet. Then go check on Acer. I didn't see her around and I'm kind of concerned about her." Breeze nods and left the room, only leaving Elm, Recon, Glass, Reboot, and an unconscious Eraser.
Reboot continued panicking, seemingly having an anxiety attack as they continues trembling and taking short quick breaths as they started to feel sick.
"Hey, Hey, Hey," Elm said softly as he was rubbing Reboot's back once more. "It's okay. I'm right here. I'm not hurting you. We're not hurting you. You're okay. Just breathe buddy. We're here for you. Take it nice and easy." Elm stayed calm and patient with Reboot. Anxiety attacks were common to Elm and if anything happens, he would be ready to assist in any way.
Elm' didn't seem to be helping much if at all and instead Reboot started apologising during his panic attack for having a panic attack.
"Hey, that's alright," Elm said with a soft smile. "No need to apologize. It happens sometimes. I was just like you. I use to have panic attacks all the time. I was being bad and I was forced to be alone without my siblings for too long. When I was sleeping with my siblings, but woke up without them, I'd panic thinking I was alone again. So don't worry too much over this. I understand that we have no control over our panic attack episodes. I just wish I could help you more." Elm made sure to not mention Fate or his white and grassy home.
Rebot just starts crying in his panic attack because he doesn't know how to get across that he just wanted somewhere dark and quiet to hide alone for a bit till he could deal with people again.
"Hey Glass," Elm called. "A little help? I'm not good at reading people to well. I'd asked Recon if he wasn't in one of his dazed states right now."
"Um..." Glass says just as good at reading people as Elm before saying "I think we have anxiety meds if that would help..."
Reboot just cries harder as he hears another person speak.
Elm sighed and decided to sit on the floor and have Reboot cry on his shoulder. He just held him and made a shushing gestured towards Glass. Luckily Elm was a Multi-Elemental being or else the tears would have stung him.
Glass stayed quiet, feeling bad for the crying creator creation and desided to make herself busy by checking over the ventilator Eraser was hooked up to to make sure levels were staying level.
Slowly but surely, Reboot started to calm down a bit due to the lack of people talking and having his eye sockets closed. Elm didn't move as to not disturb Reboot.
Reboot just focused on calming down with his eyes closed. It might not be what he needed to calm down normaly, but he could deal with it.
Elm didn't really know how long he would be hugging Reboot, but he focused on staying calm. If he didn't, his heat could get too much and he didn't want to overheat or even burn Reboot. It's not fair to him, especially after his little episode.
Reboot eventually calms down enough to at least not go straight into another anxiety attack, after whitch he gives a "sorry." Though he doesn't move and keeps his eyes closed.
"Hey, it's alright," Elm said softly. "We all have our moments. I'm just glad you've calmed a bit."
Reboot nods into Elms sholder before asking, while doing his best to stay clam "what happened?"
"You have to be specific bud," Elm spoke lightheartedly. "A lot has happened here, even before you came around that also involves you. Plus, you didn't even give me your name."
Reboot tenses again before saying while trying to control the social anxiety that was trying to send him over the edge again "I-I'm... I'm r-re-b-boo-t..." he he takes a moment to move his hands to cover his face as he tries again though he starts loosing his composure again as he keeps talking "I'm r-reboot. E-eraser, w-wh-what ha-app-appened t-to h-hi-im."
"It's okay," Elm said slow. "Don't worry, just take your time. It's nice to meet you, Reboot. As for what happened after you fell asleep, we had a little conversation with Eraser after my brother restrained. Though Breeze had to make him stop cussing by making him cold. However, he continued to cuss and unfortunately for Eraser, Breeze's cold snap temper made him force too much frost magic him Eraser's system. It took Recon, Ace, and I to keep his physical injuries stable, but we kept him in a good condition until Glass was able to help him breathe. So Eraser will live. Hey Glass, how long until his throat heals up?"
Glass blinks before turning back to look at them saying quietly "not sure, but considering how the almost drowned himself twice and that magic has a faster healing rate then flesh, I'd give it a week or so at most."
"See, Eraser will be fine," Elm said to Reboot. "He just needs to be carful with his words. Recon doesn't know anything about swear words and my siblings, my adopted creator, and Breeze would like to keep it that way."
Reboot then says nervously "I-I'm sorry. I-ill t-try to ke-keep him in ch-check n-next t-ti-ime."
"No need," Elm said. "Recon can keep him in check. I have a feeling you've been keeping him in check for too long. Recon usually keeps me in check, but I have my orders from MelT to not jump the gun and react right away. Recon is also watching over Nightmare, another problematic patient we have here who is also healing. So you can relax and not worry about Eraser. You just worry about yourself and trying to get use to this environment for now. Then when you're ready, you can about anything else. How does that sound?"
Reboot nods into Elm's shoulder relaxing a bit, though he was curious about this "Nightmare" person he spoke of, but was still to anxious to want to even attempt to meet any more people.
"Do you have anymore questions, or do you want to lay in bed while we get you breakfast?" Elm asked. "I'm sure you must be a little hungry."
Reboot shakes his head no as a nonverbal attempt to answer the last two parts, before asking "w-whe-ere a-are w-we?"
"You're in the Alpha timeline," Elm said. "It's home to Creators, creations, and Annons. We operate outside the Multiverses."
Reboot nods in partial understanding not noticing the sound of footsteps as Glass heads downstairs to go continue breakfast. He then asks "w-wh-y a-are w-we he-ere?"
"Well, from what I know, events from before your arrival brought you here," Elm elaborated as he had a mental explanation from Recon. "My Creator and siblings have called it the Rift event as there's a rift in the sky of the Alpha timeline. ... do you know of the so called 'gods' who hold sway in the Multiverses?"
Reboot nods a small bit his head into the other sholder.
Glass meanwhile gets everything turned back on and starts cooking again, not noticing Nightmare and his brother had both basicly falling back asleep, though Nightmare was still partially awake and unconsciously picking at the arm cast again.
"Well, we theorized that Chaos and Discord are working together to cause the Multiverses to become unstable," Elm said. "They are gaining power by taking one side of the balance as one of them are asking Fate on their opinion the hated side of the balance. ... that reminds me, did you hear anything before you came here?"
After checking on Defcon, Breeze came downstairs as he was trying to look for Acer. He spots Nightmare picking at his cast and moves over. He thinks for a sec and lightly placed a finger on the arm with the cast to numb the arm so he couldn't feel the uncomfortable cast. When Nightmare stopped messing with the cast, Breeze continued his search for Acer.
Nightmare stops when his arm goes numb and just falls fully back asleep.
Reboot thinks for a few minutes before saying "m-my memory of the fall is ki-kinda fuzzy, I th-think I heard some-somthing about messy... swaped... incomplete..."
"Well, until we get this sorted out, you as well as the others who were taken are going to be here a while," Elm said while pointedly avoiding what Fate had said. "You were not the only ones affected and you guys probably won't be the last. I would suggest to try and get use to people being around. You don't have to interact with them, but you might have to be around others."
Reboot stills at this and starts shaking mumbling something so quietly it was unbearable.
Elm sighs and hugged Reboot lightly. "I can try and prolong you having to meet the others, but please keep an open mind," Elm said. "I can't protect from other people for long, but at least you don't have to meet a Multiverse amount of people. But for now, you don't have to meet anyone else. You at least met most of the main people who will be coming around to check on you."
Reboot starts sobbing again in fear as the shaking continues at their mumbling becomes able to be heard "I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't..." over and over again.
"Maybe for now, but I know you will when the time comes," Elm said still hugging Reboot. "You've been keeping Eraser in check for a long time. That takes strength and courage. I know you'll be able to do it, because I believe in you."
Reboot keeps sobbing and what he is saying starts becoming unintelligible except for the odd phrase. "No people" "can't take" "loude" "to much"
Elm sighs. He wasn't good at this. Elm is usually the emotional reck in most situations as emotions control his elements. However, MelT ordered him to stay calm so he could help out. This order limited his magic strength, but at least he wasn't going to be able to blow up the tower like earlier. Elm softly hums Undertale's Waterfall theme softly as to calm his own nerves and stay at a nice warm temperature.
Reboot keeps sobbing and shaking, trying to calm himself down again, but was having so much trouble getting himself calm with the thought of being around more then a one person he didn't know well.
Elm thought for a second and touched his necklace that hid under his shirt. Once he came to a decision, Elm opens a portal under them and they ended up in his AU within the Alpha timeline. All around them was endless white and grass underneath them. He was glad everyone was out of the AU already.
Reboot doesn't notice and keeps crying and shaking in this second panic attack.
Elm stayed quiet and just held him close. At least it was just him and Reboot here with no other sounds. Thankfully his AU doesn't echo.
Reboot slowly calms down again as the din that had been surrounding them earlier from people and machines disappeared and he wasn't constantly bombarded by sound.
Elm waited for Reboot quietly as he remembered having fun with his siblings here in this blank and grassy place. He was also thinking this would be the best place to take Reboot when he needed it. His siblings were currently busy with their Multiverse that they weren't coming home anytime soon.
Reboot finally fully calms down, tears stained his face as he stares at his hands for a moment before slumping against Elm. He was tired emotionally after everything, but not really physically.
Elm shifted Reboot so that his side was against his chest. Elm wipes Reboot's tears away. "I'm glad you've calmed down," Elm said. "This is my home. Welcome to Partialtale."
Reboot hums tiredly and looks around partially, relaxed by the fairly blank area.
"How about you rest a bit more," Elm suggests. "We can be here for a while longer, but be need to return to the tower. The others would get worried if they don't see you. So rest up. If you get overwhelmed again, we can come back here."
Reboot gives a small tired nod before slowly falling asleep again leaning on Elm.
Elm holds Reboot close as he begins to daydream as he plans to take them back for lunch.
Meanwhile, Breeze couldn't seem to find Acer which worried him. Recon stayed by Eraser's side as he sent a message those who has access to Partialtale was to stay out for now.
Glass finishes breakfast and smiles to herself as she sets the table for everyone to take as much or as little as they like, neatly arranging the scones around a bowl of melted chocolate with a spoon in it, kept heated by a small candle heater.
Breeze sighed before going back upstairs to get Chro and Glitchy to eat. Recon decided to get some food and maybe slip some to Elm who told him what happened.
Glass hums to herself as she sets about washing the pots she used looking over to see Night and Nightmare still asleep as well as Error who was asleep on one of the couches. She knew Alpha and Cherry probably won't be coming down for a while since Alpha at least had been up keeping watch for her. She also reminded herself she would need to check on Mallory and Eraser later to make sure that they were fine.
As Breeze came down and sat the boys down, Recon moved to lightly tap Night to wake up. Recon wanted Night to wake his brother before Breeze sends chills down his spine.
Night blinks for s moment at the tap on his head, looks at Recon then promptly fell back asleep.
"Night, we have breakfast," Recon said as he tapped Night again. "Please wake up and get Nightmare up as well. There was an accident last night and I don't want Breeze to use his element on either of you. The more upset he is, the less control he has."
Night whines in annoyance and finally wakes up sleepily puts his head on his brother's sholder and mumbles something getting a grown from him as the two get up, Nightmare keeping the blanket around himself, as they go over to the table and sits down.
Recon then moved to tap lightly on Error's arm. Knowing Breeze, Recon had to get the other up so he doesn't get chills or have an awkward time with Breeze staring at him again.
Error keeps sleeping use to small taps from his puppets slipping from their places and falling on him.
"Error, wake up," Recon called nervously as he glanced to Breeze and then back to the sleeping skeleton. "We have breakfast and I don't want you to get cold or have Breeze bother you. So please wake up before he comes over to wake you up himself."
Error groans a bit in annoyance from being woken up before opening his eyes and staring blankly at Recon for a minute before getting up and heading over to the table.
Recon sighs before moving to the table and making a plate for himself and Glitchy, before helping his brother eat once again. Breeze looked towards Night, Nightmare, and Error to make sure they were eating.
Nightmare promptly falls asleep again at the table as Night sleepily grabs a scone and pores some of the melted chocolate on it before eating it. Error is just studying the food to determine what of the food items he would want
Breeze frowned and was tapping the table to stay calm at the sight of Nightmare sleeping on the table. Unconsciously, ice started to form and travel on the table, then onto Nightmare's face.
Nightmare flinches and sits up straight, casted arm frozen to his face.
"Oh bloody hell!" Breeze exclaimed as he shot up from his seat. He made it to Nightmare's side and tapped the ice to make it turn into shimmers. "I'm so sorry. I don't- I didn't- oh for crap sakes!" Breeze stormed out the tower before he made anything worse.
"This isn't good," Recon said with a sigh. "I've never seen him lose his cool before. Things must have changed over the years he was away from MelT to be this bad. Or at least something is bothering him to be losing control of his ice element."
Glass frowns as this happens again before deciding that, yeah she should do what she did last night and grabs a practice sward and pair of gontlets, brestplate and steal boots before she heads down to Breeze as she pulls on all the metal protection items.
Nightmare blinks in confusion, not really understanding what just happened, and gaining no info when he looked at his brother other then a shrug.
"Breeze got upset that you weren't eating," Recon explained to Nightmare. "I warned your brother, but I should have warned you that Breeze has been a bit more upset lately. Due to being upset, he's loosing his control of his ice element. He didn't mean to freeze your cast to your face, but he wanted you to eat something rather than sleeping on the table." Recon then turns his attention to Chro and Glitchy and got them to continue eating.
Meanwhile, it was snowing outside the tower as Breeze laid on the a mile away from the tower. He was completely done with bottling his emotions and was just letting out through his element to feel better.
Glass shivers for a moment after exiting the tower, but pushes past it as she heads over to Breeze.
"Oh." Nightmare says as he then stares at food on the table with no interest for a bit before grabbing a piece of bacon and just eating it slowly for now.
"Well, it's snowing a mile away," Recon said as he looked out the window. "At least when he comes back he will be a bit at ease knowing Nightmare ate a little." Recon finished feeding Glitchy and the boys went off to play house with the dolls Recon made them. Recon made a plate of food and pushed it through a portal before making his own plate. Recon looked at Error and asked, "Will you be eating as well?"
Error frowns still looking at the foods on the table trying to decide what, if any of it, he felt like eating.
Glass after a few minutes of walking reaches where Breeze left to.
"Don't worry about it," Recon said to Error. "Breeze might make things awkward for you when he gets back once he learns you skipped breakfast." Recon then eats his chocolate covered scones peacefully at ease.
Breeze sighs before acknowledging Glass. "What aRe yOu dOiNg OuT hErE?" Breeze asked. "YoU shouldn't be OuT in the CoLd, especially sInCe yOuR sensitive to tHe cOlD!"
Glass smiles before saying "I'll be fine as long as no flowers bloom while I'm in it."
Breeze shook his head. "The tHoUgHt is appreciated," Breeze said loudly as it snowed harder. "But I DoN't tHiNk yOu should bE hErE sparing In tHe sNoW. YoU should lEaVe soon. This Is gOiNg to TuRn into a RaGiNg BlIzZaRd soon."
Glass frowns before asking "will you be ok out here?"
"YeS," Breeze assured. "I nEeD tO lEt mY sTrEsS OuT, aNd tHiS is the quietest way. BeSiDeS, WhO iS cRaZy eNoUgH tO enter a blizzard? I JuSt want you To look aFtEr Elm, Chro, aNd Glitchy. ReCoN cAn oNlY wAtCh oVeR them for so long, aNd I jUsT nEeD tO vent very badly. So please, head back before you get stuck HeRe."
Glass nods and says "alright" before heading back to the tower.
The storm around Breeze begins to rage on around him, but he just lays there as the snow and ice began to cover him.
Recon finished his food and decided to clean up. So he did the dishes as he listened carefully to the boys playing and the machines upstairs.
Glass makes it back to the tower and heads in, back up to the armory and removes the armor she had put on and puts away the practice sward.
Nightmare finishes the piece of bacon and grabs another to slowly eat as night grabs a plate and gets some eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns.
After putting away the armor and sward, Glass heads back to the kitchen and gets her share of the breakfast laid out on the table.
After putting away the armor and sward, Glass heads back to the kitchen and gets her share of the breakfast laid out on the table.
Nightmare keeps eating his second piece of bacon, having no care about any of the other foods, as Error still debating on what he wants to eat.
Finally Acer came downstairs, where she was was on the balcony. Using the blizzard to cool her body temperature to a normal creators level.
"Ah, Ms. Acer," Recon called as he made his way over to Glitchy as he impatiently called him to play. "I'm glad to see you. Breeze has been looking for you. He was a bit concerned when he couldn't find you."
Nightmare looks up at the creator that entered the area, shrugs, them goes back to what he was doing
"I was just on the balcony cooling off, anything happen while I was out there?" Acer replies, looking at Recon with a questioning expression.
Glass replies as she starts eating a scone "you mean besides the blizzard being formed by Breeze? Breakfast shenanigans."
"Plus, Reboot woke up," Recon added. "However, it seems he has very strong social anxiety. So Elm has taken him to our AU. After all, Partialtale is an endless world that's white, grassy, empty, and ultimately quite. Our AU is also held within the Alpha timeline, so Reboot didn't have any issues getting either." Recon uses his strings to move the doll that looked like him to play with the boys who were more focused on the game than the conversation.
Glass watched this for a moment as she eats her food before asking "do you have any ideas on when the blizzard might stop?"
"It's hard to say," Recon admits. "Breeze was really upset. He hurt Eraser and lost control of his power. Best case scenario, after lunch, but worse case, in two days."
Glass frowns before saying as she looks out at the growing storm "well considering out luck with the appearance of fallen falling through the rift, let's hope it's the former."
"I think he will come around at dinner," Recon said. "I'll make sure of that. MelT wants me to report and keep her updated on everything at the end of two days. If she finds out Breeze has literally hid away in a blizzard, she'll come back and I can't have that happen. She's helping my siblings in their Multiverses, so I won't have her worry about our situation until it actually calls for it."
Glass nods in understanding before being distracted by Night getting up from the table and walking over to the children playing, curious about what they are doing.
"Would you like to join us?" Recon asked Night. "We are playing house. You get to pick one person you liked in your life so I can create the dolls of you and the person of your choice. Then you make the dolls act like the actual people and interact with us. So, what do you say?"
Night blinks in confusion before sparking interest before asking "liked?"
"Well yes, liked," Recon said. "After all, we only have two hands so you can only control yourself and the person of your choice. Unless you want to just play as two other people, then that's fine too."
Nightmare soon finishes with his bacon and heads over to join his confused brother as his brother asks "what exactly do you mean by like?"
"Someone you really care about," Recon said automatically said. "Someone you like to have in your like everyday. Someone you can't imagine living without. Whether it be your closest siblings, parents, family, or friends, you must have liked at least one of them."
Night nods before saying "the only ones I have like that are my brothers."
Recon nods before looking towards Nightmare. "Do you intend on playing with us, or are you just watching?"
Nightmare shrugs, not sure at the moment whitch he would end up doing.
"I only asked to help out Night," Recon informed. "That way Night doesn't have to choose between you and Dream. Plus, you would only have to interact with a doll of yourself if you don't have anyone you like in mind."
Night gives a shrug to signify "why not".
Recon smiles before he puts down his doll of himself and Elm down. Then he used his purple strings to make dolls of Night and Nightmare. He thought for a second before he looked to Night. "Can you come here a second?" Recon asked. "I need to do something first before I can make your Dream doll."
Night blinks in confusion for a second before getting nervous as he walks closer.
Recon gets close to stand in front of Night. Recon gets to Night's height before he lightly taps his forehead. He stayed that way for a few seconds before he pulled away. Then he made a doll that looked exactly like Night and Nightmare's brother. Recon smiles at his work before handing Night the doll of himself and his brother Dream. Then he hands Nightmare his doll.
Night looks excitedly at the dool of his brother who wasn't here, eyes turning to stars.
"I knew of many people who go by Dream," Recon stated. "I didn't want to get your brother's doll wrong, so I looked through one of your happy memories to see how he looked. I hope you don't mind."
Nightmare shook his head, as she stared starry eyed at the exact replica of his worlds away brother.
"Come join us then," Recon said as he sat on the couch behind Glitchy and Chro who sat on the floor. "We are currently having lunch in a meadow under a tree with two different colored apples. Come join us." Recon used his strings to once again control his and Elm's doll to stand beside Chro, Glitchy, Fresh, and Tk. Then Recon made his dolls gesture for the Dreamtale brothers to join them.
Night nods excitedly as he moves to join them as Nightmare comes over more cautiously.
Glitchy got excited about the Dreamtale brothers joining them. "Yay! More people to play with!" Glitchy exclaimed. "Chro decided that the apple are black and gold with magic to them!"
The dream brothers flinch at the mention of magic apple the color of gold and black.
"They're pretty from what Chro described," Glitchy continued in his excitement. "I like the black apples! Chro said that the gold ones shine very bright that it's blinding like the color white. I ... I don't like the color white. Any color but white. Black holds a lot of things. Fresh took me to a world that was mainly black and had all those pretty stars in them! I can imagine the black apples holding stars within them!" Glitchy explains his like of the black apples over the gold ones.
Nightmare blinks at this as Night seems to still be nervous about the mention of the apples.
"I'm sorry if you feel uncomfortable," Chro apologizes to the Dreamtale brothers. "I had a close friend who was like a brother to me. He was in a very similar situation you both are in. If it wasn't for those apples and their fates, I would have never became his friend and brother. I just really miss him." Chro was still upset that he couldn't remember what happened to get him into his current Multiverse or what happened to those he claimed.
Chronos was quite as he was thinking about something when he remembers about another guardian in dreamtale"hmmmm"he hums.
Nightmare nods slightly partially understanding, he didn't know anything about how it feels to lose a friend since he had none, but he knew he was missing his missing brother so much right now.
"Anyway, our dolls are only admiring the apples," Glitchy explains. "They're also eating something called an apple pie! Would your dolls like some too?"
Recon turned his attention from the group to look at Chronos. "What are you thinking about?" Recon asked.
Night blanks not knowing what in the world that was, he burns to night who looked just as confused.
Chro thought for a sec before turning to the Dreamtale brothers. "Think of apple pie like apple turnovers, but in the shape of slices of cake," Chro tried his best to explain. "I'm not really sure if that's a good description, but I have no other way of explaining it."
Chronos was quite once.more but spoke up"I just remember back in my multiverse was also had a third guardian in dreamtale,now that I think about it he lives longer than two & Idk of still resides in the Twilight zone of dreamtale"
Nightmare nods in understanding as his brothers eyes light up as he has the dolls he is using nodding their heads at the offered pie.
Glitchy nods and pretends to hand the Dreamtale triplets a slice of pie.
Recon nods to Chronos. "I see," Recon said. "It fascinates me how each Multiverse is the, but different in its own designs."
Chronos sighed"in all honesty that guy suffered so much of what fate did,i feel bad for rigel after what happend back then many those who knew fate we're livid at what she did to him"
Night has his dolls take the pie, nudging his brother with his elbow to get his brother to have his doll take the imaginary piece of pie.
"All who was influenced by fate have suffered," Recon said to Chronos. "However, it's how we move forward despite the suffering makes them strong. We can sympathize, but never pity because that makes them think they're weak. That is why I respect all who I meet. Fate has done everyone wrong, and all we can do is be mindful and treat them as strong individuals."
Glitchy still had his doll positioned to hand Nightmare's doll the awaiting apple pie. Glitchy stared at the more mentally mature skeleton in anticipation.
Chronos was quite but then" i shouldn't really say this but the reason everybody was livid at what fate did because she-........"
Chronos doesn't know if is it ok to say what happned.
"If you're unsure of sharing this while everyone's around, then I suggest you tell us later," Recon said softly to Chronos. "I would be willing to hear what you have to say. I like to know different points of view to understand as much of a situation as I can."
Chronos was silent but then said"i'll.....say what she did but i don't of the younger ones should hear it"
Nightmare looks at his brother, not sure what to do, but watching his brother play with the dolls to make them eat the food given to them didn't help.
Recon looked at Chro and Glitchy waiting patiently for Nightmare to accept the apple pie they had for the dolls before turning to Chronos. "They are a little focused on the Dreamtale brothers to be listening to us," Recon points out. "You really don't have to tell me if it's really that troubling."
Night looks at his brother before quickly showing him what to do.
Chronos looks at chro & glitchy,he then looks at recon & said "we should scoot away from them for a minute" he scoots a little away from them.
Recon nods and scoots away from the others. Glitchy was delighted to see Nightmare reenact the actions his brother showed. He then pretends to hand Nightmare the apple pie to enjoy like the rest. Even though Recon was away from the group, the dolls he controlled with his strings still moved as if they were actually eating something.
Nightmare flinches at how stiff his movements of the dolls looked as he made it look like it's eating.
Chronos breaths & exhales,he did this for a.min. Then spoke softly & quietly"I few years ago after the incident in dreamtale had happend Rigel was trying to find both dream & nightmare,he mostly stayed with nightmare because he worried for him the most,ink at first was glad that the dreamtale's other guardian would be by Their side,unfortunately he founds out that Rigel currently stays mostly of nightmares side,all of them can't do anything about it since Rigel is the neutral one & never takes sides,fate found out & was not happy that not only Rigel took nightmares side but also upsets ink rather dearly,so as her punishment for him,she decided to took something away from him,that incident happens on the time where the multiverse gets rebooted the second time but on the third reboot was permanent,in the middle of what happend Rigel was pregnant with 2nd child of his & karma,he had an older daughter named harmony
With him,helios was Their 2nd child still unborn & what fate did to him still traumatized him to this day,not only he lost both his husband & daughter but also took away his unborn child by.....plucking it out of his soul-" Chronos looks away as he finish tries to forget how Rigel screamed in despair of losing those he loved.
Night and Nightmare continue playing with Glitchy.
"I see," Recon said softly. "Such a tragedy. To basically loose all you have is painful." Recon though of many others who lost everything and just ended their existence. It's sad that they were devastated to the point of breaking.
Glass hums as she finishes her food and collect all the dirty dishes and the remaining food to put it in the fridge.
"Hey, Recon," Glitchy called. "I wanted to ask you first since you're my oldest brother, can we go to a lake? After all, it's your turn to describe the next place and we're done with lunch!"
Recon nods to Glitchy and moves back over despite not really finishing his conversation with Chronos. "Alright, Glitchy. We can go, but dose everyone agree to visit a lake?" Recon asked as he moved is doll to look at everyone else's dolls. Chro made his dolls nod and jump in excitement. Then his doll looked between the Dreamtale triplets for a response.
Night and Nightmare looks at them in confusion, didn't they only have breakfast a few minutes ago?
Chro chuckled at this. "This is just pretend," Chro explains. "Our dolls ate pretend apple pie for lunch. Now Glitchy was asking if we can location to a lake. Do you guys want to go? Recon might describe a pretty lake."
The two brothers look at each other before shrugging with Nightmare saying "never been to a lake.
Recon hummed a bit before nodding to himself. "I'll do us all one better then," Recon said. "Instead of describing you a lake, I'll make us a lake." With that said, Recon used his right hand to spill a bit of green ink on the floor between the dolls. Then he started to make it take shape into a beautiful lake that was a bright blue, clear, had bright crystals that glows around and within the water and white sand. At the end, the ink formed a model of a beautiful crystal lake.
Night's eyes sparkled at the beautiful land formation as his brother looked at with curiosity and interest.
Recon moved his doll to bow before the others. "Welcome to Sanctuary Lake," Recon said. "This lake has healing properties of all kind, even to a fire elemental. All who get to Sanctuary Lake can be healed, but not many can make it here." Recon then moved his Elm doll to lay on the model and did swimming motions. "And there goes Elm," Recon said with a sigh. "Too excited to wait for everyone to go in the water together." Glitchy got excited and put his dolls on the model lake as well and pretends to be swimming. Chro moves his doll to examine the crystals on the beach while Tk joins Glitchy.
Nightmare places his doll next to the lake seemingly enjoying having their feet in what Nightmare assumes is water as Nightmare himhimself looks over the diorama. Night meanwhile starts playing with the dream and Night tool in front of their brothers doll making it look like they were having a splash fight.
Recon moved his doll to sit and lean against the crystal that Chro was examining. Recon enjoyed bringing a little joy to those who landed in this situation due to the Rift event. With Glitchy's overactive imagination combined with his magic strings and ink, Recon can create a world to have fun in.
Nightmare looks at the diorama in amazement, he has never seen magic used in this way. Night meanwhile is super existed by this new way of playing to pass the time, they didn't really have a lot they could do by their tree decides tag and read and they didn't want to play in the forest since it could cause problems for them when they hunt and forage.
Chronos sees some small crystals & picks them up & he examines it.
Glass watches the group smiling at bit at their antics as she finishes her cooking duties for now.
A portal opens nearby and with a soft tap both Acrylic and Faith exited the portal, Faith dismissing it and walking over to Chronos while Acrylic makes his way to the two negativity brothers.
"You know, I can show you something cool with those crystals if you would like." Faith inquired, coming up beside Chronos.
"So, have any friends in your world?" Acrylic asked Nightmare, putting a hand behind his neck as he watched everyone else play.
Chronos looks besides him & sees faith,his brows rose in question but then look at the crystal & looked at faith & said"ok?"*gives faith the crystal*
Nightmare freezes slightly at the question before glaring at the floor.
She smiles at it and then throws it into the air, using a small pocket of her power she kept it suspended and then caused it to grow in multiple different ways, eventually forming an ever shifting sphere of crystal, she then creates an orb of her power "with this you can change the shape and hardness of the crystal, it will take practice but you can do it if you want, or you can allow it to remain a small shard like it was before. The choice is up to you." She demonstrates by moving her hands along the orb to turn it into a crystal rose before turning it back into a blob
Glass watches intrigued, but decides to stay out of the magic lesson.
"I would be careful if I were you," Recon warned. "Those are small samples from Sanctuary Lake. If you change the density of the crystals too much, it will revert back to my ink. I explained to the others that not many can get to Sanctuary Lake because they messed with the water and crystals of the lake."
Nightmare asks curiously "so one wrong move and the magic in this diarama will destabilize and turn back to its original form?"
"No," Recon said. "The crystals are from Sanctuary Lake and can't be messed with so much because they are the things that make Sanctuary Lake have healing properties. We're not messing with the crystals on the model. Only the one crystal they are messing with will return to ink."
"Ah." Nightmare says intriged.
Recon picked up one of the crystals and placed it into Nightmare's hand that had the cast. "Keep it," Recon said. "It will help soothe and heal your arm faster. If you keep that crystal in your hand for a whole day, then after tomorrow I can take the cast off." Recon smiles at towards Nightmare with the good news on his arm improving.
Nightmare's light up a bit at the possibility of getting the cast of earlier, giving Recon a quiet "thank you" as he closes his hand around the crystal.
"It's my pleasure," Recon said. "Then we can do something with your ribs after. I would just have to get either water from the lake or a bigger crystal."
Nightmare flinches a bit remembering that his ribs arn't in great shape.
"Are you alright?" Recon asked. "I can get you pain killers if you need."
Nightmare looks away mumbling "I forgot they were even injured."
"I'm sorry for reminding you," Recon said with slight regret. "But once your arm is healed, I can work on healing your ribs." Then Recon picked up another crystal and handed it Night. "You keep it as well," Recon told Night. "Keep it close and it will heal your injuries as well." As the crystal enters Night's hands it changed color. It's once bright blue turned a vibrant violet with had white dots that appear and disappeared. It looked like a violet night sky filled with stars.
Night's eyes light up at the color changing crystal, more interested in the beauty then the healing properties, not that he really remembered that he was injured, much less where.
Recon looked at Night in awe. "It seem your one of the few who can actually go to Sanctuary Lake," Recon said. "Sometimes the crystals change colors when the crystals choose who is able to find the lake."
Nightmare gave a slight chuckle, of course his beloved older brother who never fought back against their abuse would be someone special.
Glitchy moved to touch the crystals and it turned black with an electrical current running inside it. Chro touched the crystal and nothing happened. The crystals were very interesting. "For Creators, the crystal always change color," Recon informed. "Only those with bad intentions can't make it change."
Nightmare shrugs, not caring that it did nothing for him.
"Hey Recon," Glitchy called. "Can't you take us here? You can make portals there, so can we go there?"
"No," Recon shook his head. "The lake is outside the Alpha timeline. So maybe we can all go there in person after we figure out how to close their rift." Recon made a promise to himself to bring everyone including all the Creator and creations here.
Nightmare freezes a bit at the idea, he couldn't go, if they took his brother no one would be there to protect him. It made Nightmare anxious about his brother's safty, it made him feel how restrictive the casts were. It made him want them off right now.
"Night, would you like to see Sanctuary Lake in person?" Recon asked. "When we're able to go there, would like to go?"
Night seems to think about it not answering right away, not noticing his brother picking on the cast on his arm.
Recon saw Nightmare picking his cast, but he decided to let him be for a second as he waited for Night's answer. He knew Nightmare would be impacted by the answer, so he waited patiently for the answer and reaction.
Night eventually nods deciding that yeah he kinda wanted to see this lake, even if he would have to be away from his brother. This made Nightmare even more anxious as he tried even harder to get the cast off.
"Nightmare, calm down," Recon said. "I said not many can make it there because it's hard to find. I didn't say it wouldn't allow you to come along if you weren't chosen by the crystals. The crystals simply choose those who can find the lake if they really needed it. I'm sorry I didn't explain this earlier." Recon hoped his explanation calmed Nightmare down.
The explanation calmed down Nightmare and bit, but he was still anxious about not being there for his brother. So, the cast was still being picked at, though not as roughly.
"Do you not want to come?" Recon asked Nightmare. "You don't want to see Sanctuary Lake?"
Night continues pitching at the cast mumbling "I wouldn't mind going..."
"Then you can come too," Recon said. "I wouldn't take your brother without taking you as well. You both have stuck together through a lot of hard time, and I would never want to separate you you two."
Nightmare relaxes and stops picking at the, partially split, cast as he hears he wouldn't be separated from his brother.
Recon smiles before he drops his dolls and moves his hand over the cast. Then he uses his strings to thread through the cast and hold it together tightly. "There, that should hold," Recon said. "There's no point in recasting your arm if it's going to heal after tomorrow. Right Nightmare?"
Nightmare nods hopefully, hoping that he didn't need the cast anymore after tomorrow.
Recon nods before he turns back his dolls and reattached his strings to control them once more. "Do any of you have a request?" Recon asked. "I could make any for our dolls. Just tell me and I'll see what I can do."
Nightmare and Night shake their heads, neither of them knew anyone else really.
Chro nod. "Can you make a beach blanket?" Chro asked Recon. "I want to lay on the sand." Recon nods before Glitchy called to him. "Can you make a colorful beach ball and butterflies?" Glitchy asked excited. Recon nods and uses his green ink to form the blanket and beach and handed them to the person who asked. Then he formed three small bright pink and blue butterflies. He set them on the sand around Chro and then snapped his fingers. The butterflies came to life and started to flutter around the model of the lake.
Recon then turned to the Dreamtale brothers. "Are you sure you two don't have any requests?" Recon asked again to double check. "I mean anything at all, I can make them for our dolls to make this more enjoyable."
Night and Nightmare look at each other in confusion, not understanding any of what the other two asked for except the butterflies. They hadn't even been to a lake, much less had any substantial time to play around like the other two were.
Chro saw this and asked the two, "What do you do for fun?"
Nightmare shrugs since he spends most of his time on guard duty or hunting, Night mumbles something about tag and reading.
Chro kind of knew he would get an answer like that since his Nightmare was very similar. He turned to Recon and said, "Make Nightmare a beach blanket and some books. That way Nightmare can enjoy the water and read! Then you should make a raft for Night so him and Dream can float and paddle around the lake."
Recon was unsure about Chro's idea but created another beach blanket, three little books, and a gray raft to fit three dolls. Chro took them and adjusted Nightmare's doll to be on the blanket with a book on his lap with the other two besides him. Then he helped Dream's dolls into the raft and placed them on the lake before backing off for the Dreamtale brothers to take control of their dolls again.
Night and Nightmare stared at the raft in confusion not knowing what it was.
"What kind of transportation did you two have around in your town?" Chro asked when the two stared at the raft that floated on the water.
Night is the one who answers, while his brother stares at them in even more confusion, "horses mostly, a carriage or two when a caravan passes through."
"Think of the raft as a floating carriage," Chro compares. "It's meant to only travel on water. This is a form of boat, but it's small and only meant to carry a few people."
Nightmare still shared in confusion as Night sort of understood, but was nervous about the boat, considering the dangers he has seen with them.
"It's okay," Glitchy exclaimed. "It's only for our dolls! Isn't it cool?!" He looked between the brothers in excitement. They chose a really nice toy for their dolls.
Nightmare mumbles a question to his brother to witch Night replies a load "its a big wooden box on basicly a diagonal cut of a tree that can move around easily pulled by hourses."
