"It's been a while, hasn't it Fresh?"

Fresh smiled and I was able to see the parasite I'm his eye glow.
"Heya broski! You can't just leave like that, I thought you were dead! :("

I stepped back and smiled, forcing the glitches that came with the touching down.

"I'm happy to see you, but how did you get in here anyways?"

Fresh grinned.
"Some nice lady spoke to me from the sky...! She said "hey!! You should totally go visit your dead brother!!" And of course I thought it was a threat, ya know, but then a portal opened!! And now I'm here! Said her name was destiny? Idk."

"Ah! Destiny is the one that helped me. I've been living in this place for the past few years. I call it the paper void!"

Fresh looked around, still grinning. Multiple paper cranes perched on his head.

"Does anyone else know? Or am I missing out on something?"
Fresh asked, deciding to focus his gaze on craney, who was now sitting on his wrist.

I hummed. "Just blue and destiny I guess as far as I know. I am perfectly fine with revealing myself to everyone else, but I've decided I just want to play a giant prank on them before I do."

"You are a menace."
Fresh smirked.

"Wanna help?"

"[Funk] yeah."

Why had I decided I wanted to go after ink?? I am sick and tired and I cannot not  be around blue or sci, they both have positivity, and with the war happening, negativity has been skyrocketing. If nightmare wanted to, he could probably take over the whole multiverse.

I sighed and continued walking through what seemed to be snowdin town. Monsters made of various art supplies were running around, talking, and having fun. Eventually I came across ink talking with the local papyrus, who seemed to be made out of cut up glue bottles and red wires.

"Ink! You cannot just run off like that! I had to sprint around all of the underground to find you!"
That was exaggerated but whatever.

Ink smiled and waved.
"Hello dream! I was just talking with papyrus, whose says his multiverse name is paper. We were just talking about another skeleton who used to come by here."

I perked up at that.
"Really? This seems like a pretty hidden original au. There's someone else that has come through here?"

Paper pointed to grillbys.
"I didn't really interact with him much, but my brother sans hung out with him all the time! He kind of just disappeared one day, and it has made him pretty disappointed. Maybe you can help?"

I nodded and ink ran off to grillbys. I followed in suit and the shop seemed to be pretty empty, only a skeleton made of felt and buttons sat at the bar.

"Hello there fellow sans! We want to talk to you."

The sans noticably startled at inks loud voice, but he looked over and smiled anyways.

"Oh. I didn't know there were more of you. I'm sans, sans the skeleton. Or just craft, that's fine too." He waved and motioned us to sit down.

"So what brings you here? We don't get many visitors. You must need something if you've come to an au like this?"

I laughed nervously.
"I apologize. I am dream and this is ink. We have come for information. We are on a quest? I think, bad we were lead to this au. We talked to your brother, he said you used to spend time with a skeleton that visited."

Crafts smile dropped slightly and his eye lights went dim, though he still continued to somehow look happy.

"Ah yes. I remember him. His name was error, and came by here every so often. He always looked injured or tired but always insisted he was fine. Everyone liked the guy, he seemed to know a lot about crafting and he even knew how to knit! He disappeared one day though. I miss him."

The room was silent. Grillby had left to the kitchen, not wanting to eavesdrop. Ink looked stunned, but kept his head down.

"We knew him."

Craft looked at me and I smiled reassuringly at him.

"He was... Not okay. He was a good person, but we didn't know. He uh... He destroyed aus for a living, but it was for a good reason. He's gone now though. Somewhere in the void, most likely."

The room was once again silent.

"Thank you for informing me."
Crafts voice was Shaky, but he didn't cry. I didn't even know if he was capable of tearing up.

I put my hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay. He probably is in another place now. Everyone was aware be wasn't happy here. He did have friends, but he was being abused for centuries here."

"I have given you information. Can you leave me alone? I am sorry but it would be embarrassing to cry Infront of strangers."

I nodded and motioned ink to follow me out of the small bar. We had all the information craft could give, it wasn't worth it to continue bothering him.

Ink was silent the rest of the way back.

I stood awkwardly next to nightmare. Dream, ink, and blue had run off to who knows where, and to be honest i am kind of scared of nightmare. With all this negativity, he is currently one of the most powerful entities in the multiverse.

"Soo...uh, what do we do now?"
I asked.

Nightmare frowned, tendrils twitching in annoyance.

"Those dumbasses didn't even notice we spawned right next to another clue."

I squinted and looked around.
"What? Where?"

Nightmare sighed and swiped his boot across the snow, revealing a door.

A door.

A door in the middle of the woods in the ground. The doorknob was sticking out of the snow and we didn't even notice.

I crouched down and twisted the knob. Of course it was locked, typical.

"We need a key."
I stood up and dusted the snow off my clothes.

"Yeah. Wow so intelligent."

I felt like that was sarcastic.

"Ooh a door. I think we need a key for that."

I turn around to see ink and dream approach us. Nightmare groans.

"Uh yeah, we don't know where it is tho-"

"Heya guys I'm back, is that a door in the ground? I think we need a key for that..."

I turned again to see blue walk out of some bushes. I look at nightmare and he looks majorly disappointed with his head in his hands.

"Yeah.... We need a key. We don't know where it is though."
I said.

"Hmmm... I've got a solution!"
I then watched as ink proceeded to bang his brush into the doorknob, somewhat successfully swinging the door open.

"There!"
Ink grinned proudly.

"Well that's one way."
Dream shrugged, walking over to the hole. We looked down into the seemingly endless pit.

I squinted and was able to make out shapes in the darkness.
"I can see the bottom, it isn't actually that deep."

Nightmare hummed, jumped in the hole and used his tendrils to cushion the fall.

"Yeah it really isn't. You can just jump down. Use your magic though cause I'm not helping."

I jumped down the hole, not being very experienced in exercise however, I ended up landing in a very awkward position. I quickly stood up and brushed off the dirt, looking around the cave.

I heard dream come down, swiftly and experienced, but when I turned around, ink was on his face.

"He tripped over the door knob."
Dream looked at me with an expression of disappointment.

"Idiots."
I heard nightmare mumble.

Well, time to explore this cave.
