Cuffs of String

Welcome Error

Ink hurried himself to try and get to Nightmare's Mansion. If Nightmare was the one who took Error than he possibly should tell Dream, but then he'd have to explain his whole process of his... reprogramming? brainwashing? helping Error. Ya, he'd have to explain his process of helping Error. Dream would probably tell him that he was being controlling in the way he was trying to help Error. That would just be annoying and a waste of time. So, he should just go in and sneak Error out. No, how about attacking all of them. That by far would be the best solution.

Dust was looking between Nightmare and Error. Dust's expression was as though he was thrown into an ocean and had just swam out. He felt as though it was some kind of joke, but Nightmare's look told him that this wasn't a joke. Error just stood there smiling obliviously. If he had hair it would be standing on end by now. Error just didn't seem like Error.

"So Dust, why don't you get Error with you into your room," Nightmare said getting side-glances from the other members of his gang.

Dust started to chuckle to himself anxiously as Error seemed to suddenly be in his personal bubble as soon as he looked away from him. It's almost like Error forgot about his haphephobia. Of course, Error probably did forget about his haphephobia knowing how messed up he is now. Error's smile was almost as bright and cheery as Blue's was when Dust saw him last. Seeing that look on Error was the most unnerving thing that he saw all week. It far surpassed what happened in Oceantale in creepiness.

"C-come on Error. Why don't we go over to the bedroom," Dust chuckled out as he was sweating slightly.

Error was just so happy that he got a new friend. How could he not be happy about a new friend? After all, Ink has always said that friends are the best thing in life! He excitedly started to follow Dust as he started walking to the bedroom. What would Dust's bedroom be filled with? Would it have books(?), maybe food(?), maybe even plushies!!! Just the thought of that is making him happy! Error was ecstatic!

Dust and Error cut a corner in the hallway rather sharply. Error surprised by the sudden change slammed face first into the wall before shaking his head and following Dust again. They finally reached Dust's room. Dust anxiously opened the door and looked at Error and motion to go inside. Error was flabbergasted at how big the room was. The room was almost as big as the learning room! This entire room was Dust's! There were even these things Ink told him were called beds! There were two beds, but Dust only used one. That just leads Error to wonder what the second bed was for since he thought that beds were for the special ones like Ink.

"So, Error that bed's yours," Dust said.

Error immediately went to dump out the contents of his bag onto the ground near what Dust told him was his bed. It honestly was weird that Dust believed that Error was special enough to get a bed. Eh, it's close enough to what you usually do. Error went to position the dolls he brought with him into a pile. Most of his dolls were of Ink and he absolutely loved them. At one point he even started to snuggle the doll. He seemed to completely forget about the rest of his dolls as he was hugging two of his Ink dolls. His sewing supplies and some more Ink dolls were scattered around him.

Dust was uncomfortable as he saw that Error was infatuated with Ink. Seriously there were like 20 dolls of Ink in there! The bag that he brought with him only held sewing materials and dolls. There were only three kinds of dolls Ink, Nightmare, and some sort of fox. This was the oddest thing that could have happened. He'd have to talk with Nightmare later about this.
