"Hey, Techno." Karl greats as Techno walks into the prison. "What's up?"

Techno doesn't reply with words, just stares him down. Karl's eyes widen and he shrinks back into himself. 

Techno moves along after nodding at him. Karl relaxes as he starts walking away.

Techno moves through the prison towards the noises of building. He walks into a big open room where people are up on scaffolding along the walls.

"Hello!" One of the people closer to the ground calls out to him.

"Which one of you fuckers threatened Ghostbur?" Techno asks, his deep, monotone voice echoing off of the, mostly, empty room's walls.

"What gives you the right to come here and interrupt our building?" Quackity asks, climbing down the scaffolding he was on.

"I suggest you stop asking stupid questions and tell me who threatened him." Techno says through his teeth. "Especially you. You're on thin ice." He adds, staring right into Quackity's soul.

"What's the issue here?" Puffy asks, walking over to them.

"One of you threatened to put Ghostbur in jail and I'm here to kill whoever did it." Techno says, breaking his staring contest with Quackity to look at her.

"I think that was when several of us were out for lunch because he left while we were eating." Puffy says.

"Who said it?" Techno asks.

"I think only Quacity, Jack, and Fundy were inside at the time."

"It wasn't me." Jack says, putting his hands up. 

Techno pays no mind to him, returning his glare to Quackity.

"Did someone say my name?" Fundy asks, jumping down from his scaffolding, almost landing on his face, but not taking any damage due to being a fox hybrid.

"Did you say something to Ghostbur that made him upset?" Puffy asks him.

"No. I didn't say anything to him. I'm not very happy with him." Fundy says.

"It's true, Fundy was avoiding him." Jack says.

Techno remains silent, staring draggers at Quackity who has a smug look on his face.

"What are you gonna-" Quackity starts to say before the collar of his shirt is grabbed by Techno. "Hey- I- Get your hands off of me!" 

Techno doesn't say anything as he drags Quackity over to a cliff that leads down to the water below.

Techno holds the back of Quackity's shirt and holds him out over the drop effortlessly, as if he were a simple feather with no weight.

"I told you were on thin ice." Techno says, as the water recedes and returns in a constant rhythm.

"Look- look- put me down! I'm sorry! I made a mistake! Let me go!" Quackity yells, thrashing to get out of Techno's hold before realizing that if he got out of Techno's grasp now, he'd fall and, most likely, die.

"I'll put you down... There." Techno says, looking down at the sea, figuring out the timing of the waves.

"No- no. You don't need to do that. Please. I said sorry. Stop holding me over the FUCKING CLIFF!" Quackity yells.

"You've done enough. How fast do you think you'll fall?" Techno asks, shaking him a bit, feeling his weight. "I'd say if I dropped you while the water was high, you'd survive." 

"Don't drop me." Quackity says.

"I'll do what I want." Techno says.

"Don't you dare. I have conections in the government." Quackity says.

"You think I'm afraid of government?" Techno asks before pulling Quackity back over the actual ground. He moves his hand so that it's around Quackity's throat, squeezing hard enough to kill. "Never talk to Ghostbur again. Don't come near him again. Don't look at him again. You will be dropped next time. Don't test me." He says in a quiet and dark voice, getting very closer to the ever purpling face of Quackity.

Techno lets go, walking away through the group of people who had followed them.

Quackity gasps and wheezes, trying to catch his breath and get the blood to flow back to his face.

"What'd you do?" Dream asks after Techno walks into the house, practically slamming the door in the process.

"I almost killed someone." Techno says, sitting at the small kitchen table.

"Who did it?" Dream asks, sitting down across from him.

"Quackity." Techno says through his teeth.

"That bitch." Dream says. "Did you do anything?"

"Held him over a cliff with water at the bottom. Not enough water to save someone though. Threatened his life. Almost choked him to death." Techno says.

"Mmm." Dream says, nodding.

"The voices are disappointed by him still breathing." Techno says.

"I thought they would be. What're they saying?" Dream asks.

"How dare that bitch! Why didn't you kill him?! He deserved it. You should've dropped him. Who the fuck cares if there were people around. We would've gotten in trouble. Techno would've gotten in trouble, not us. We'd be fine. I wanted blood. You always want blood. Shut up. You shut up. THAT MOTHER FUCKER I WANT HIM DEAD! You're a little late to the Quackity hate party. DON'T CARE, WANT BLOOD. Stop yelling. MAKE ME."

"Mostly wishing Quackity was dead and not caring about the consequences because they don't apply to them." Techno says. 

"So they don't care about consequences?" Dream asks.

"There's one or two that actually care about my well being, the others are just in it for the blood." Techno says, starting to mess with a string that's attached to his sleeve.

"That's good... That there are some who are level headed." Dream says. "Here." He says, handing Techno a pair of scissors.

"What am I supposed to do with these?" Techno asks. "I can't just cut the voices out of my head."

"No, idiot. Cut the string." Dream says.

"Oh..." Techno says, cutting the string and handing the scissors back to Dream. "Don't call me an idiot." He adds, processing what Dream had called him.

"I'll call you what I want to call you, honey." Dream says.

"Stop." Techno says in a half annoyed voice.

"Make me." Dream says, crossing his arms.

"Where's Ghostbur?" Techno asks.

"Umm... I think he went upstairs." Dream says, looking around.

"I'm here." Ghostbur says, poking his head around the corner where the stairs are. "Did you take care of him?"

"Yes. If he ever comes near you again, tell me." Techno says.

Ghostbut nods, floating over to the table and sitting down with them.
